2 Peter 2
1 But there arose false-prophets also among the people, as, among you also, there shall be, false-teachers, —men who will stealthily bring in destructive parties, even the Master that bought them, denying, bringing upon themselves speedy destruction;
There were however also false prophets among the people as also among you there will be false teachers, who will stealthily introduce heresies destructive even the having bought them Master denying, bringing upon themselves imminent destruction;
2 And, many, will follow out their wanton ways, —by reason of whom, the way of truth, will be defamed,
And many will follow after their (sensuality, *NK+O) through whom the way of the truth will be denigrated;
3 And, in greed, with forged words, will they, of you, make merchandise: for whom, the sentence from of old, is not idle, and, their destruction, doth not slumber.
And through covetousness with fabricated words you they will exploit, for whom the judgment of long ago not is idle and the destruction of them not (slumbers. *NK+o)
4 For—if, God, spared not, messengers, when they sinned, but, to pits of gloom, consigning them, in the lowest hades, delivered them up to be kept, unto judgment, — (Tartaroō g5020)
If for the God of [the] angels [who] having sinned not spared, but (in chains *NK+O) of gloomy darkness to Tartarus He delivered [them] for judgment (being kept, *N+kO) (Tartaroō g5020)
5 And, an ancient world, spared not, but, with seven others, preserved, Noah, a proclaimer, of righteousness, a flood, upon a world of ungodly persons, letting loose, —
and [the] ancient world not He spared, but one of eight Noah of righteousness a herald preserved [the] flood upon [the] world of [the] ungodly having brought in,
6 And, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing to ashes, he condemned, an example of such as should be ungodly, having set forth, —
and [the] cities of Sodom and Gomorrah having reduced to ashes to destruction He condemned [them] an example of what is coming on (ungodly *N+kO) having set
7 And, righteous Lot, when getting worn out by the behaviour of them who were impious in wantonness, he rescued—
and righteous Lot being distressed by the of the lawless in sensuality conduct He rescued;
8 For, in seeing and hearing, since he dwelt right among them, as a righteous man, he used to torment his soul, day by day, with their lawless deeds—
through seeing for and hearing that righteous [man] dwelling among them day after day in [his] soul righteous with [their] lawless deeds was tormented;
9 [Then] the Lord knoweth how to rescue, the godly out of trial; but to keep, the unrighteous unto a day of judgment to be punished; —
[then] knows [the] Lord [the] devout out of temptation to deliver, [the] unrighteous then unto [the] day of judgment being punished to keep,
10 Most of all, however, them who go their way, after the flesh, with a coveting of defilement, and who despise, lordship, —daring! willful! before dignitaries, they tremble not, defaming,
especially then those after [the] flesh in [the] passion of defilement walking and authority despising. Bold, self-willed, glorious ones not they tremble blaspheming;
11 where, messengers, though, greater in might and power, are not bringing against them [before the Lord] a defamatory accusation, —
whereas angels in strength and in power greater being not they do bring against them ([from the] Lord *N+KO) a reviling judgment.
12 These, however, as unreasoning creatures that have been bred as being, by nature, for capture and destruction, in the things they are ignorant of, uttering defamation, in their spoiling, shall also be made a spoil, —
These however like irrational animals (they were born *N+KO) as creatures of instinct for capture and destruction, in what they are ignorant of blaspheming in the destruction of them (also *no) (will be destroyed *N+kO)
13 Doing wrong themselves, for a reward of wrong, accounting, a delight, their day-time delicacy, spots and blemishes, indulging in delicacies with their stratagems, as they carouse together with you,
(suffering *N+KO) [as the] wage of unrighteousness. [as] pleasure esteeming in daytime carousal, blots and blemishes, reveling in the (deceptions *NK+o) of them feasting with you,
14 Having, eyes, full of an adulteress, and that cannot rest from sin, enticing unstable souls, having, a heart trained in greed, —children of a curse, —
eyes having full of adultery and unceasing from sin, enticing souls unestablished, a heart exercised (in craving *N+KO) having — of a curse children!
15 Forsaking a straight path, they have gone astray, following out the way of Balaam [son] of Beor, who loved, a reward of wrong,
(leaving *N+kO) (the *k) straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the way of Balaam [son] of Bosor, who [the] wage of unrighteousness loved,
16 But had, a reproof, of his own transgression, a dumb beast of burden, in man’s voice, finding utterance, forbade the prophet’s madness.
reproof however he had for his own transgression; [by] a donkey mute in a man’s voice having spoken it restrained the of the prophet madness.
17 These, are fountains without water, and mists, by a tempest, driven along, —for whom, the gloom of darkness, hath been reserved;
These are springs without water (and *no) (mists *N+kO) by storm being driven, for whom gloom of darkness (into age *K) has been reserved. (questioned)
18 For, great swelling words of vanity, uttering, they entice with carnal covetings—in wanton ways—them who are, well-nigh, escaping from the men who, in error, have their behaviour;
Arrogant for of vanity speaking words they entice with [the] passions of [the] flesh to sensuality those (scarcely *N+KO) (escaping *N+kO) from those in error living,
19 Promising, freedom to them, they themselves, being all the while, slaves of corruption, —for, by whom one hath been defeated, by the same, hath he become enslaved, —
freedom them promising, themselves slaves being of corruption; By what for anyone has been subdued, by that (and *ko) he has been enslaved.
20 For, if, having escaped from the defilements of the world by a personal knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but, by the same having again become entangled, they are defeated, the, last, state hath become, for them, worse than, the first;
If for having escaped the pollutions of the world through [the] knowledge of the Lord (of us *N) and Savior Jesus Christ, in these now again having been entangled they are subdued, has become to them the last [state] worse than the first.
21 For, better, had it been for them—not to have obtained a personal knowledge of the way of righteousness, than, having obtained such knowledge, to turn back out of the holy commandment delivered unto them.
Better for it was being for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known [it] (to have turned *N+kO) from the having been delivered to them holy commandment.
22 There hath befallen them the thing [spoken of] in the true proverb—A dog, turning back unto his own vomit, and—A sow, as soon as washed, unto wallowing in mire.
Has happened (now *k) to them the [thing] of the true proverb: A dog having returned to [its] own vomit; and A sow having washed to [her] (rolling place *N+kO) in [the] mire.
