< 2 Bitrus 2 >

1 Anan liru nin Kutelle an kinuu wa dak Israila a anan dursuzu kiti kinu ma dak kiti mine. Ima dak nin dursuzu un wultunu kiti likire, iming ma nari cikilare na ana seru nani. Inung dsin liru nnin kimolo nati mine dedei.
But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Grandang ma dofunu usu nibinai mine, barainughe ima zoguzu libo kidegene.
And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 Bara usu nati mine ima ti nkoli nin ghinu ndas uzuzun nliru kinu mine. Na ushara mine ma yiru kubi pit ba; na uwutunu mine ma yitu hem ba.
And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
4 Ndafo na kutalk wa ceo litai unono kadura mae alenge na iwa ti kulapi ba, ndafo awa na tunari nan nya kukunsa ligang, i ceo nanii ku nin ninyaag nan nya sirti isu uca nshara. (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 ndafo na awa ceo uyi uyi unbburne ba, ama awa tucu Nuhu ku unan belun nbeleng katwa kacine ligowe nin na nit kuzor amini wa dak nin fibark nmyen in yii kulapi.
and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 A mini wa juju nipinpin Sodom nin Gomora ni lwa utong, a mini wa ceo nani nca nkul ios imon yenju na udin cinu dak kiti na nan sali fiu Kutelle.
and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly;
7 Amini wa tucu unan katwa kacine, ulenge na awa sessu ufizu nayi ko kome kubi bara adadu ananzang na nan sli fiu Kutelle nin kuna niyizi.
and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked
8 Bara katwa nsalu fiu Kutelle mine na unan katwa ka cine na yenje alanza ko lome liyiri a sossino nan nya mine w a lanza fisudu katwa kacine me ukul.
(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] lawless deeds):
9 Cikilare yiru ulenge na ama tucu anan fiu me nan nya ndumunuzu mine, a yiro kitin ciu nanit alenge na idi nin katwa kacine ba bar44a uniu lirin nshara.
the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;
10 Ulengene ma sossin kidegene kiti na lenge na idin lin hun nin likara li nanzang nin tik nidowo ina ni nari tigo. Idi nin nayi akone nin nilaza nati mine. Na idin lanzaq fiu izogo sa ima su untigo uliuru ba.
but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, selfwilled, they tremble not to rail at dignities:
11 Nono kadura Kutelle di nin nakara adya nin yiru ikafin anit vat, ama na idin dassu nin shara tizogo kitene mine kitin cikilare ba.
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
12 Ama anit nan kpiizu nafo inawan tene ima na kye nani bara ikifizo i nanzari. Na i yiru imong ile na ijogo ba. Ima nanzu nani.
But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,
13 ima lanzu ukul bara uduk likara linanzang mine. Idin su lissosin nlanzu mmang nin liring. Idi nin na lap a akura amanzang. Idin lanzu mmang nadu kinnu mine i wa din sonu nfunu ninfi.
suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; [men] that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their love-feasts while they feast with you;
14 Iyizi mine kulun nin su na wani nfunu; na kulapi din batizunu nani ba. Idi wunu anan sali nakara nibinai udu su katwa kananjang, nibinai mine nmali se udursuzu bara kuna niyizi, nono nti nnuu.
having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;
15 ina filing libo licine. Ina wulu inani na dofin libo in Balamu, usaun Basura, ulenge na awa di nin su a seru uduk kitene nfanu me.
forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the [son] of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing;
16 Amini wa se uboriu niyizi kitene nfanu me. kajaki nsalin liru kani wa su uliru nin liwui nnit uni wa Yissa unan liru nin nuu Kutelle tik.
but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.
17 Anit alele masin igunanghari sa nmyen. Imasin awutari na ufunu nwesse. Nsirti mi bibitari ina ceo bara inunghe. (questioned)
These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved.
18 Idi su uliru nin tikunan nati tiham. Idin wunu anit nin tok nidowo. Idin anit ale na ipizira isurto nacara na lenge na issosin nan nya ntanu.
For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;
19 Idin su nani uliru nworu ima lissosin li taop, ama inung ati mine acin nitwa ni nanzanghari. Bara unit kucin nimon ilenge na ileo likara nere.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.
20 Ulenge na a surto nacara nnanu in yii nnuzun in yiru nakilari nin nan tucu Yisa Kristi, amini kuri a kpilla nan nya nnanu une tutung, uso nani unanu unanzang ule na nkatin un burne.
For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.
21 Uwa kutunu nani nworu na iwa ma na yinin libo katwa kacine nworu na iwa ma na yinin libo katwa kacine nworu iyinin i kura i kpilya timuro mine kiti nduka ulau ule na iwa nani.
For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 Ule uliru tigoldoe kidegenere kiti mine: “Ka kau nkpilla kiti tilozo me. kuladu ko na isalsuna kunin nkpillla nan nya mboro.”
It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.
