< 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.
Mme go ne go na le baporofiti ba tsietso mo malatsing ao, fela jaaka go tlaa nna le baruti ba tsietso mo go lona. Mme ka botlhale jwa bone ba tlaa bolela maaka kaga Modimo, ba fularela le e leng Morena wa bone yo o ba rekileng; mme ga bone e tlaa nna bokhutlo jo bo bofefo jo bo boitshegang.
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
Ba le bantsi ba tlaa latela thuto ya bone e e bosula ya gore boaka ga bo molato. Mme ka ntlha ya bone Keresete le ditsela tsa gagwe di tlaa sotlwa.
3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old does not linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
Baruti ba, ka ntlha ya bohatlha jwa bone, ba tlaa lo bolelela sengwe fela gore ba tseye madi a lona. Mme Modimo o ba atlhotse bogologolo mme tshenyego ya bone e mo tseleng e a tla.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus (Tartaroō g5020), and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment;
Gonne Modimo ga o a ka wa rekegela le e leng baengele ba ba neng ba leofa, mme o ne wa ba latlhela mo moleteng, ba gokeletswe mo dikgageng tse di lefifi go fitlhelela letsatsi la katlholo. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 and did not 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,
Mme ga o a ka wa rekegela batho ba bogologolo mo morwaleleng fa e se Noa fela, motho yo o esi yo o neng a buelela Modimo le ba ntlo ya gagwe ba supa. Mo lobakeng loo, Modimo o ne wa nyeletsa lefatshe lotlhe le batho ba ba sa boifeng Modimo ka morwalela o mogolo.
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,
Kwa morago wa fetola metse ya Sodoma le Gomora dithotobolo tsa melora wa bo wa e tlosa mo ponong ya lefatshe, wa ba dira sekao sa botlhe ba ba sa boifeng Modimo gore ba lebe kwa morago mme ba boife.
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
Go ntse go ntse jalo Modimo wa falotsha Lote mo Sodoma ka ntlha ya gore e ne e le mosiami, a utlwisiwa botlhoko ke bosula jo bo maswe jo a neng a bo bona gongwe le gongwe mo tikologong ya gagwe malatsi ka go tlhatlologana.
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
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,
Jalo Modimo o ka falotsha nna le wena mo dithaelong tse di re dikaganyeditseng, mme wa tswelela ka go otlhaya ba ba sa o boifeng go fitlhelela letsatsi la bofelo la katlholo le tla.
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,
O setlhogo bogolo mo go ba ba tsamayang mo bosulengjwa bone, le mo dikakanyong tsa dithato tsa bone, le ba ba ikgogomosang ebile ba le bodipa, ba sa boife go nyatsa Bagalaledi, le fa e le go ba sisimoga,
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
le fa baengele ba ba kwa legodimong ba ba emang fa pele ga Morena, ebile ba nonofile thata go gaisa baruti ba ba tsietso, ba se ke ba bua ka lonyatso mabapi le ba ba bosula ba.
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,
Mme baruti ba tsietso ba dieleele, ga ba botoka bope go na le diphologolo. Ba dira sengwe le sengwe se ba ikutlwang ba se rata; ba tsaletswe go tshwarwa fela le go bolawa, ba nyatsa nonofo e e boitshegang ya bobipo e ba itseng go le gonnye fela ka yone; mme ba tlaa nyelediwa mmogo le mewa e e maswe yotlhe le dinonofo tsa molete.
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;
Eo ke yone tuelo e baruti ba ba tlaa e bonang ka ntlha ya dibe tsa bone. Gonne ba nna mo botlhapelweng jo bo maswe ja letsatsi le letsatsi. Ba tlhabisa ditlhong ebile ba leswe mo go lona, ba lo tsietsa ka go tshela mo sebeng ka ntlha e nngwe ba tlhakana le lona mo medirong jaaka ekete ke batho ba ba ikanyegang.
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who cannot cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
Ga go na mosadi ope yo o ka falolang tebo ya bone ya boleo, mme ka boaka gone, ga ba ke ba kgotsofala. Ba hepisa basadi ba ba sa tiang mo tumelong, ba ithutile go nna bohula; mme ba atlhotswe ebile ba hutsitswe.
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
Ba dule mo tseleng mme ba latlhegile jaaka Balame, morwa Beore, yo o neng a ratile madi a o neng a ka a bona ka go dira tshiamololo.
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.
Balame o ne a emisiwa mo tseleng ya gagwe ya boeleele fa tonki ya gagwe e bua nae ka lentswe la setho, e mo omanya e mo kgalemela.
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved.
Batho ba ga ba na mosola ba tshwana fela le metswedi ya metse e e kgadileng, ba solofetsa go le go ntsi mme ba sa tlise sepe; ga ba a nitama fela jaaka leru le le kgwekgweediwang ke matsubutsubu a diphefo. Ba sekisitswe go ya meleteng ya lefifi la bosakhutleng. (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;
Ba ipelafatsa ka maleo a bone le phenyo. Mme ba dirisa dithata tsa bone jaaka seru sa bone ba hepisetsa; ba ba falotseng botshelo jo bo maswe joo mo sebeng gape.
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
Ba ba raya ba re, “Ga lo a bolokwa ka go nna tshiamo; lo ka nna lwa bolokwa ka go tlhoka tshiamo. Dirang se lo se ratang, lo gololesege.” Mme bone baruti ba ba ba nayang “kgololesego” e e mo molaong ke bone batlhanka ba boleo le tshenyego. Gonne motho ke motlhanka wa se se mo laolang.
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.
Mme fa motho a falotse mekgwa e e bosula ya lefatshe ka go ithuta ka ga Morena le Mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete, mme a bo a ithatheletsa ka sebe a bo a nna motlhanka wa sone gape, o maswe bogolo go gaisa jaaka a ne a ntse pele.
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.
Go ne go ka nna botoka fa a ne a ise a ke a itse ka Keresete gotlhelele go na le go ithuta ka ga gagwe mme morago ga moo a bo a fapoga melao e e boitshepo e o e neetsweng.
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.”
Mogologolo a re, “Ntsa e boela mo matlhatseng a yone, mme kolobe e tlhapisediwa fela go bowa e bidikama mo morageng gape.” Go ntse fela jalo le mo go ba ba boelang mo dibeng tsa bone gape.
