< 2 Peter 2 >

1 But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܒܥܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܒܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܥܠܝܢ ܗܪܤܝܤ ܕܐܒܕܢܐ ܘܒܡܪܐ ܕܙܒܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܦܪܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܐܒܕܢܐ ܡܤܪܗܒܐ
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܠܬܗܘܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܬܬܓܕܦ
3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
ܘܒܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܘܒܡܠܐ ܕܒܕܝܐ ܢܬܬܓܪܘܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܕܝܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܠܐ ܒܛܠ ܘܐܒܕܢܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܡ
4 For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܚܛܘ ܠܐ ܚܤ ܐܠܐ ܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܕܥܡܛܢܐ ܥܓܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܬܚܬܝܬܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܬܢܛܪܘܢ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܕܫܘܢܩܐ (Tartaroō g5020)
5 and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
ܘܥܠ ܥܠܡܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܚܤ ܐܠܐ ܠܢܘܚ ܕܬܡܢܝܐ ܟܪܘܙܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܢܛܪ ܟܕ ܛܘܦܢܐ ܥܠ ܥܠܡܐ ܕܪܫܝܥܐ ܐܝܬܝ
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
ܘܟܕ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܤܕܘܡ ܘܕܥܡܘܪܐ ܐܘܩܕ ܘܒܗܦܘܟܝܐ ܚܝܒ ܐܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܠܪܫܝܥܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܤܡ
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
ܐܦ ܠܠܘܛ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܕܡܬܩܦܚ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܘܦܟܐ ܕܒܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܕܕܠܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܦܨܝ
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
ܒܚܙܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܘܒܫܡܥܐ ܟܕ ܥܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܝܘܡ ܡܢ ܝܘܡ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܙܕܝܩܬܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܡܘܤ ܡܫܢܩ ܗܘܐ
9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
ܝܕܥ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܢܦܪܘܩ ܡܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܥܘܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܬܢܩܝܢ ܢܛܪ
10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܬܪ ܒܤܪܐ ܒܪܓܬܐ ܕܛܡܐܘܬܐ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܡܪܘܬܐ ܡܒܤܪܝܢ ܡܪܚܐ ܘܡܫܩܠܐ ܕܡܢ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܐ ܙܝܥܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
ܐܝܟܐ ܕܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܒܚܝܠܐ ܘܒܥܘܫܢܐ ܪܘܪܒܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܓܘܕܦܐ
12 But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܝܟ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܚܪܫܬܐ ܗܘܘ ܒܟܝܢܐ ܠܚܪܒܐ ܘܠܚܒܠܐ ܟܕ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܒܚܒܠܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܢܬܚܒܠܘܢ
13 receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
ܟܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܗܢܝܘܬܐ ܚܫܝܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܘܤܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܡܟܬܡܐ ܘܡܠܝܝ ܡܘܡܐ ܕܟܕ ܡܬܒܤܡܝܢ ܒܢܝܚܬܗܘܢ ܡܬܦܢܩܝܢ
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
ܟܕ ܥܝܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܠܝܢ ܓܘܪܐ ܘܚܛܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܦܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܫܕܠܝܢ ܠܢܦܫܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܤܡܝܟܢ ܘܠܒܐ ܕܡܕܪܫ ܒܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܠܘܛܬܐ
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
ܕܟܕ ܫܒܩܘ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܬܪܝܨܬܐ ܫܓܘ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܒܠܥܡ ܒܪ ܒܥܘܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܓܪܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܐܚܒ
16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
ܡܟܤܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܠܡܬܥܒܪܢܘܬܗ ܐܬܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܩܠܐ ܕܒܩܠܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܟܠܬ ܠܫܛܝܘܬܗ ܕܢܒܝܐ
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (questioned)
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܥܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܝܐ ܥܢܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܥܠܐ ܡܬܪܕܦܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܛܢܐ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܛܝܪ ܠܗܘܢ (questioned)
18 For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
ܟܕ ܓܝܪ ܓܘܢܚܐ ܕܤܪܝܩܘܬܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܡܫܕܠܝܢ ܒܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܡܠܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܥܪܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܡܬܗܦܟܝܢ
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
ܘܚܐܪܘܬܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܫܬܘܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܚܒܠܐ ܠܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢܫ ܙܟܐ ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܫܥܒܕ
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܥܪܩܘ ܡܢ ܛܢܦܘܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܒܫܘܘܕܥܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܦܪܘܩܢ ܒܗܝܢ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܬܥܪܙܠܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܡܙܕܟܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܚܪܬܗܘܢ ܕܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ
21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
ܦܩܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܬܘܕܥܘܢ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܕܟܕ ܐܫܬܘܕܥܘ ܠܒܬܪܐ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܫܬܠܡ ܠܗܘܢ
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
ܓܕܫ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܠܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܕܟܠܒܐ ܕܗܦܟ ܥܠ ܬܝܘܒܗ ܘܚܙܝܪܬܐ ܕܤܚܬ ܒܥܘܪܓܠܐ ܕܤܝܢܐ
