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.
Atoro adiyifo kɔɔ tetefo no mu, na saa ara nso na atoro adiyifo bɛba mo mu ara ne no. Wɔbɛma nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne a nokware nni mu na wɔapa Owura a ogyee wɔn no, na ɛnam so ama ɔsɛe aba wɔn so prɛko pɛ.
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
Nnipa bebree bɛfa akwammɔne so na esiane nea wɔyɛ no nti, nnipa bɛkasa atia nokware kwan no.
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.
Saa atoro adiyifo yi nam wɔn sikanibere so bɛto anansesɛm akyerɛ mo de apɛ mo so mfaso. Wɔn temmufo siesiee ne ho akyɛ, na saa ara nso na wɔn sɛefo no nso asɔre agyina.
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)
Onyankopɔn amfa abɔfo a wɔyɛɛ bɔne no ho ankyɛ wɔn. Ɔtow wɔn guu asaman sum mu baabi, guu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, na ɛhɔ na wɔretwɛn atemmu no. (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,
Onyankopɔn amma tete wiase no amfa ne ho anni. Ɔmaa nsuyiri baa wɔn a na wonsuro Onyankopɔn no so. Wɔn a ogyee wɔn nkwa no ne Noa a ɔkaa trenee ho asɛm no ne nnipa baason bi.
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,
Onyankopɔn buu Sodom ne Gomora fɔ de ogya sɛee wɔn, de bɔɔ wɔn a wonsuro Onyankopɔn no kɔkɔ.
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
Ogyee Lot a ɔyɛ ɔtreneeni no fii nnipa nnebɔneyɛfo nsam.
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
Na saa ɔtreneeni no te saa nnipa nnebɔneyɛfo no mu; na afide a na saa nnipa no yɛ no adekyee ne adesae no haw no yiye.
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,
Sɛ ɛte saa de a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Awurade nim ɔkwan a ɔfa so gye nʼakyidifo fi ɔhaw mu, na onim ɔkwan a ɔfa so kora nnipa nnebɔneyɛfo, twe wɔn aso de twɛn atemmuda no.
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,
Ne titiriw no, eyi fa wɔn a wodi wɔn honam akɔnnɔ akyi na wɔpa Onyankopɔn tumi no ho. Saa atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo yi wɔ akokoduru na wommu anuonyamfo a wɔwɔ ɔsoro no, efisɛ wonsuro sɛ wɔyaw wɔn.
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
Na abɔfo a wɔwɔ ahoɔden ne tumi sen saa atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo yi mpo nka nsɛmmɔne mmu wɔn atɛn wɔ Awurade anim.
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,
Nanso saa nnipa yi yɛ wɔn nneɛma te sɛ mmoa a wunni adwene, wɔwo wɔn sɛ wɔnkyere wɔn nkum wɔn. Wogu nneɛma biara a wɔnte ase no ho fi. Wɔbɛsɛe wɔn sɛ mmoa.
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;
Wobetua wɔn ɔhaw a wɔma ɛbaa no so ka. Nea wɔn ani gye ho ne sɛ wɔbɛyɛ biribiara a eye ma wɔn honam akɔnnɔ no awia ketee. Sɛ wɔne mo to nsa didi a, egu wɔn anim ase. Efisɛ saa bere no na wɔka nnaadaasɛm.
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
Wɔnhwehwɛ hwee sɛ mmea nguamanfo efisɛ wɔpɛ sɛ daa wɔyɛ bɔne. Wɔdaadaa nnipa a wɔyɛ mmerɛw kɔ bɔne mu. Wɔayɛn wɔn koma ama anibere. Wɔwɔ Onyankopɔn nnome ase.
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
Wɔaman afi ɔkwan tee no so enti wɔayera. Wɔafa ɔkwan a Beor ba Bileam a ɔde ne sika a onya no yɛ bɔne no kɔfaa so no so.
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.
Eyi ma wɔkaa nʼanim wɔ ne bɔne no ho. Nʼafurum de onipa nne kasa de siw odiyifo no adammɔsɛm no ho kwan.
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (questioned)
Saa nnipa yi te sɛ asuti a ayow anaasɛ omununkum a mframa bɔ no. Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie sum kabii mu wɔ baabi. (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;
Wɔka ahantansɛm ne nkwaseasɛm na wɔnam wɔn honam akɔnnɔ ho nnaadaa so twetwe wɔn a wɔatwe wɔn ho afi nnebɔneyɛfo ho no.
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
Wɔhyɛ wɔn ahofadi ho bɔ wɔ bere a wɔn ankasa yɛ bɔne nkoa efisɛ onipa yɛ biribiara a edi no so no akoa.
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.
Na sɛ onipa sua yɛn Awurade ne yɛn Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo ho asɛm, na ɔnam so guan fi wiase yi mu akwammɔne so, na akyiri no ɔkɔ bɔne mu bio ma ɔdan bɔne akoa a, ɛno de ɛyɛ hu sen ne kan no.
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.
Sɛ anka wonnim Kristo koraa a, anka eye ma wɔn sen sɛ wobesua ne ho nsɛm na afei wɔbɛdan wɔn akyi akyerɛ mmara Kronkron a wɔde maa wɔn no.
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.”
Nea ɛbaa wɔn so no kyerɛ sɛ, saa bɛ yi yɛ nokware. “Ɔkraman san kɔtaforo ne fe na prako a wɔaguare no no nso koguare wɔ dontori mu.”
