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.
εγενοντο δε και ψευδοπροφηται εν τω λαω ωσ και εν υμιν εσονται ψευδοδιδασκαλοι οιτινεσ παρεισαξουσιν αιρεσεισ απωλειασ και τον αγορασαντα αυτουσ δεσποτην αρνουμενοι επαγοντεσ εαυτοισ ταχινην απωλειαν
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
και πολλοι εξακολουθησουσιν αυτων ταισ ασελγειαισ δι ουσ η οδοσ τησ αληθειασ βλασφημηθησεται
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.
και εν πλεονεξια πλαστοισ λογοισ υμασ εμπορευσονται οισ το κριμα εκπαλαι ουκ αργει και η απωλεια αυτων ου νυσταξει
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)
ει γαρ ο θεοσ αγγελων αμαρτησαντων ουκ εφεισατο αλλα σειραισ ζοφου ταρταρωσασ παρεδωκεν εισ κρισιν τηρουμενουσ (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,
και αρχαιου κοσμου ουκ εφεισατο αλλα ογδοον νωε δικαιοσυνησ κηρυκα εφυλαξεν κατακλυσμον κοσμω ασεβων επαξασ
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,
και πολεισ σοδομων και γομορρασ τεφρωσασ καταστροφη κατεκρινεν υποδειγμα μελλοντων ασεβειν τεθεικωσ
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
και δικαιον λωτ καταπονουμενον υπο τησ των αθεσμων εν ασελγεια αναστροφησ ερρυσατο
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
βλεμματι γαρ και ακοη ο δικαιοσ εγκατοικων εν αυτοισ ημεραν εξ ημερασ ψυχην δικαιαν ανομοισ εργοισ εβασανιζεν
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,
οιδεν κυριοσ ευσεβεισ εκ πειρασμου ρυεσθαι αδικουσ δε εισ ημεραν κρισεωσ κολαζομενουσ τηρειν
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,
μαλιστα δε τουσ οπισω σαρκοσ εν επιθυμια μιασμου πορευομενουσ και κυριοτητοσ καταφρονουντασ τολμηται αυθαδεισ δοξασ ου τρεμουσιν βλασφημουντεσ
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
οπου αγγελοι ισχυι και δυναμει μειζονεσ οντεσ ου φερουσιν κατ αυτων παρα κυριω βλασφημον κρισιν
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,
ουτοι δε ωσ αλογα ζωα φυσικα γεγενημενα εισ αλωσιν και φθοραν εν οισ αγνοουσιν βλασφημουντεσ εν τη φθορα αυτων καταφθαρησονται
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;
κομιουμενοι μισθον αδικιασ ηδονην ηγουμενοι την εν ημερα τρυφην σπιλοι και μωμοι εντρυφωντεσ εν ταισ απαταισ αυτων συνευωχουμενοι υμιν
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
οφθαλμουσ εχοντεσ μεστουσ μοιχαλιδοσ και ακαταπαυστουσ αμαρτιασ δελεαζοντεσ ψυχασ αστηρικτουσ καρδιαν γεγυμνασμενην πλεονεξιασ εχοντεσ καταρασ τεκνα
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
καταλιποντεσ ευθειαν οδον επλανηθησαν εξακολουθησαντεσ τη οδω του βαλααμ του βοσορ οσ μισθον αδικιασ ηγαπησεν
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.
ελεγξιν δε εσχεν ιδιασ παρανομιασ υποζυγιον αφωνον εν ανθρωπου φωνη φθεγξαμενον εκωλυσεν την του προφητου παραφρονιαν
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (questioned)
ουτοι εισιν πηγαι ανυδροι νεφελαι υπο λαιλαποσ ελαυνομεναι οισ ο ζοφοσ του σκοτουσ εισ αιωνα τετηρηται (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;
υπερογκα γαρ ματαιοτητοσ φθεγγομενοι δελεαζουσιν εν επιθυμιαισ σαρκοσ ασελγειαισ τουσ οντωσ αποφυγοντασ τουσ εν πλανη αναστρεφομενουσ
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
ελευθεριαν αυτοισ επαγγελλομενοι αυτοι δουλοι υπαρχοντεσ τησ φθορασ ω γαρ τισ ηττηται τουτω και δεδουλωται
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.
ει γαρ αποφυγοντεσ τα μιασματα του κοσμου εν επιγνωσει του κυριου και σωτηροσ ιησου χριστου τουτοισ δε παλιν εμπλακεντεσ ηττωνται γεγονεν αυτοισ τα εσχατα χειρονα των πρωτων
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.
κρειττον γαρ ην αυτοισ μη επεγνωκεναι την οδον τησ δικαιοσυνησ η επιγνουσιν επιστρεψαι εκ τησ παραδοθεισησ αυτοισ αγιασ εντολησ
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.”
συμβεβηκεν δε αυτοισ το τησ αληθουσ παροιμιασ κυων επιστρεψασ επι το ιδιον εξεραμα και υσ λουσαμενη εισ κυλισμα βορβορου
