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 were also false prophets among the people, as there will be teachers of falsehood among you also, who will cunningly introduce fatal divisions, disowning even the Sovereign Lord who has redeemed them, and bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Grandang ma dofunu usu nibinai mine, barainughe ima zoguzu libo kidegene.
And in their immoral ways they will have many eager disciples, through whom religion will be brought into disrepute.
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.
Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been slumbering.
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 God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement. (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 He did not spare the ancient world, although He preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a deluge on 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.
He reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them to overthrow, making them an example to people who might in future be living godless lives.
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.
But when righteous Lot was sore distressed by the gross misconduct of immoral men He rescued him.
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 their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man--all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.)
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.
Since all this is so, the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from temptation, and on the other hand how to keep the unrighteous under punishment in readiness for the Day of Judgement,
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.
and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality--craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings;
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.
while angels, though greater than they in might and power, do not bring any insulting accusation against such in the presence of 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 men, like brute beasts, created (with their natural instincts) only to be captured or destroyed, are abusive in matters of which they are ignorant, and in their corruption will perish,
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.
being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting 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.
Their very eyes are full of adultery--being eyes which never cease from sin. These men set traps to catch unstedfast souls, their own hearts being well trained in greed. They are fore-doomed to God's curse!
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 straight road, they have gone astray, having eagerly followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was bent on securing the wages of unrighteousness.
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 transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked 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 people are wells without water, mists driven along by a storm, men for whom the dense darkness has 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, while they pour out their frivolous and arrogant talk, they use earthly cravings--every kind of immorality--as a bait to entrap men who are just escaping from the influence of those who 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.
And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight.
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 escaping from the pollutions of the world through a full knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, people are once more entangled in these pollutions and are overcome, their last state has become worse than their 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 would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed.
22 Ule uliru tigoldoe kidegenere kiti mine: “Ka kau nkpilla kiti tilozo me. kuladu ko na isalsuna kunin nkpillla nan nya mboro.”
Their case is that described in the true proverb, "A dog returns to what he has vomited," and also in the other proverb, "The sow has washed itself and now goes back to roll in its filth."
