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;
aparaM pUrvvakAlE yathA lOkAnAM madhyE mithyAbhaviSyadvAdina upAtiSThan tathA yuSmAkaM madhyE'pi mithyAzikSakA upasthAsyanti, tE svESAM krEtAraM prabhum anaggIkRtya satvaraM vinAzaM svESu varttayanti vinAzakavaidharmmyaM guptaM yuSmanmadhyam AnESyanti|
2 And, many, will follow out their wanton ways, —by reason of whom, the way of truth, will be defamed,
tatO 'nEkESu tESAM vinAzakamArgaM gatESu tEbhyaH satyamArgasya nindA sambhaviSyati|
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.

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)
IzvaraH kRtapApAn dUtAn na kSamitvA timirazRgkhalaiH pAtAlE ruddhvA vicArArthaM samarpitavAn| (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, —
purAtanaM saMsAramapi na kSamitvA taM duSTAnAM saMsAraM jalAplAvanEna majjayitvA saptajanaiH sahitaM dharmmapracArakaM nOhaM rakSitavAn|
6 And, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing to ashes, he condemned, an example of such as should be ungodly, having set forth, —
sidOmam amOrA cEtinAmakE nagarE bhaviSyatAM duSTAnAM dRSTAntaM vidhAya bhasmIkRtya vinAzEna daNPitavAn;
7 And, righteous Lot, when getting worn out by the behaviour of them who were impious in wantonness, he rescued—
kintu taiH kutsitavyabhicAribhi rduSTAtmabhiH kliSTaM dhArmmikaM lOTaM rakSitavAn|
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—
sa dhArmmikO janastESAM madhyE nivasan svIyadRSTizrOtragOcarEbhyastESAm adharmmAcArEbhyaH svakIyadhArmmikamanasi dinE dinE taptavAn|
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; —
prabhu rbhaktAn parIkSAd uddharttuM vicAradinanjca yAvad daNPyAmAnAn adhArmmikAn rOddhuM pArayati,
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,
vizESatO yE 'mEdhyAbhilASAt zArIrikasukham anugacchanti kartRtvapadAni cAvajAnanti tAnEva (rOddhuM pArayati|) tE duHsAhasinaH pragalbhAzca|
11 where, messengers, though, greater in might and power, are not bringing against them [before the Lord] a defamatory accusation, —
aparaM balagauravAbhyAM zrESThA divyadUtAH prabhOH sannidhau yESAM vaiparItyEna nindAsUcakaM vicAraM na kurvvanti tESAm uccapadasthAnAM nindanAd imE na bhItAH|
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, —
kintu yE buddhihInAH prakRtA jantavO dharttavyatAyai vinAzyatAyai ca jAyantE tatsadRzA imE yanna budhyantE tat nindantaH svakIyavinAzyatayA vinaMkSyanti svIyAdharmmasya phalaM prApsyanti ca|
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,
tE divA prakRSTabhOjanaM sukhaM manyantE nijachalaiH sukhabhOginaH santO yuSmAbhiH sArddhaM bhOjanaM kurvvantaH kalagkinO dOSiNazca bhavanti|
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, —
tESAM lOcanAni paradArAkAgkSINi pApE cAzrAntAni tE canjcalAni manAMsi mOhayanti lObhE tatparamanasaH santi ca|
15 Forsaking a straight path, they have gone astray, following out the way of Balaam [son] of Beor, who loved, a reward of wrong,
tE zApagrastA vaMzAH saralamArgaM vihAya biyOraputrasya biliyamasya vipathEna vrajantO bhrAntA abhavan| sa biliyamO 'pyadharmmAt prApyE pAritOSikE'prIyata,
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.
kintu nijAparAdhAd bhartsanAm alabhata yatO vacanazaktihInaM vAhanaM mAnuSikagiram uccAryya bhaviSyadvAdina unmattatAm abAdhata|
17 These, are fountains without water, and mists, by a tempest, driven along, —for whom, the gloom of darkness, hath been reserved;
imE nirjalAni prasravaNAni pracaNPavAyunA cAlitA mEghAzca tESAM kRtE nityasthAyI ghOratarAndhakAraH sanjcitO 'sti| (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;
yE ca janA bhrAntyAcArigaNAt kRcchrENOddhRtAstAn imE 'parimitadarpakathA bhASamANAH zArIrikasukhAbhilASaiH kAmakrIPAbhizca mOhayanti|
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, —
tEbhyaH svAdhInatAM pratijnjAya svayaM vinAzyatAyA dAsA bhavanti, yataH, yO yEnaiva parAjigyE sa jAtastasya kigkaraH|
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;
trAtuH prabhO ryIzukhrISTasya jnjAnEna saMsArasya malEbhya uddhRtA yE punastESu nimajjya parAjIyantE tESAM prathamadazAtaH zESadazA kutsitA bhavati|
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.
tESAM pakSE dharmmapathasya jnjAnAprApti rvaraM na ca nirddiSTAt pavitravidhimArgAt jnjAnaprAptAnAM parAvarttanaM|
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.
