2 Peter 2
1 Just like there were false prophets among the [Israeli] people [long ago], so there will also be teachers who teach false [things] among you. They will enter [your congregations] without you realizing [what/who they are], and they will [spiritually] injure some people by what they teach. Specifically, these teachers will even deny [that] the Lord [Jesus died to] pay [for the guilt of our sins]. As a result, they will soon destroy themselves [spiritually, and God will also punish them].
Maar er waren ook valse profeten opgestaan onder het Volk, zoals er ook valse leraars zullen zijn onder ú. Ze zullen verderflijke ketterijen binnensmokkelen, den Meester verloochenen, die hen heeft vrijgekocht, en zich zó een ras verderf berokkenen.
2 And many [people] will behave in an extremely immoral manner, imitating the extremely immoral way [these teachers who teach false things] behave. As a result, [unbelievers] will (discredit the true message/say the true message is false).
En velen zullen hun losbandigheid volgen; door hun toedoen zal de weg der Waarheid worden gelasterd.
3 Because [the teachers of false teaching] want a lot of things that other people have, [they think that] by telling you stories that they themselves have (made up/invented), they will get money from you. [God decided] long ago [that he would] punish them, and he has not fallen asleep [LIT]! [He will certainly destroy them]!
Ook zullen ze, door winzucht gedreven, u uitbuiten met sluwe woorden. Sinds lang reeds staat hun vonnis klaar, en hun ondergang sluimert niet in.
4 God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
Want wanneer God de zondige engelen niet spaarde, maar ze naar de hel verwees, en opsloot in donkere holen, om ze vast te houden voor het oordeel; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 He also got rid of [LIT] [the people who lived in] [MTY] the world long ago. He saved [only] eight of them, including Noah, who was a righteous preacher. God saved them when he destroyed in a flood [all] (the ungodly people/the people whose lives were not pleasing to him) [who were living then].
wanneer Hij de oude wereld niet spaarde, maar de zondvloed bracht over de wereld der goddelozen, maar het achttal van Noë, den heraut der gerechtigheid, in het leven behield;
6 He also condemned Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; that is, he destroyed them by burning them completely to ashes. [By doing that] he gave a warning to those who afterwards would live in (an ungodly way/a way that is displeasing to him).
wanneer Hij de steden Sódoma en Gomorra in as legde, ze ten ondergang doemde en ze tot voorbeeld stelde voor goddelozen uit later tijd,
7 But he rescued [Abraham’s nephew], Lot, who was a righteous [man. Lot] was (greatly distressed/very sad) because the people [in Sodom] were doing very immoral things.
maar Lot den rechtvaardige redde, die door het liederlijk gedrag van tuchteloze lieden gekweld werd,
8 That righteous [man’s] soul (was tormented/suffered great agony) day after day because he saw and heard those wicked people behave in a very lawless/wicked [manner when he was] living among them.
daar deze rechtschapen man in hun midden vertoefde, en, dag in, dag uit, zijn rechtvaardige ziel heeft gefolterd door de schandelijke daden die hij zien moest en horen;
9 And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue (other godly people/people whose lives please him) from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve (ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]), [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
dan staat het wel vast: de Heer weet de vromen uit de beproeving te redden, maar de bozen afgezonderd te houden, om ze te straffen op de dag van het oordeel;
10 [He will punish especially severely] those [ungodly teachers who teach false things] who do the things that their self-directed nature desires, things that (defile them/cause them to be completely impure). Those [teachers of false teachings] despise [all beings who] rule [over them]. 2 Peter 2:10d-16 Because [those teachers of false doctrines are] extremely arrogant/proud [DOU], they (are not afraid to insult/boldly speak evil about) glorious beings [in heaven] (OR, glorious/wonderful beings [who rule over people]).
hen bovenal, die leven naar het vlees in onreine begeerten, en die de Heerschappij verachten. Vermetel en verwaand schromen ze niet, de Heerlijkheden te beschimpen.
11 In contrast, angels do not insult [those teachers] when those teachers accuse the angels [of blasphemy] while the Lord God is watching, even though the angels are much more powerful [DOU] [than the teachers of false doctrines].
En terwijl de Engelen, hun meerderen in kracht en in macht, tegen haar geen smalend oordeel uitspreken bij den Heer,
12 Because those [teachers of false doctrines are] like animals that cannot think [as humans do] [DOU], they say evil things about [spiritual] things which they know nothing about. [As a result], God will destroy them like [people] destroy [animals], [animals] that are born only in order to be hunted and killed {in order that [people] should hunt and kill them}.
smalen zij wat ze niet kennen, als redeloos vee, van nature tot grijpen en moorden bestemd. En aan hun eigen verderf zullen ze ten verderve gaan;
13 God will punish [those teachers] in return for the unrighteous actions/things that they have done. They even like (to carouse/to drink and revel noisily) in the daytime [as well as at night]. And as they indulge/enjoy themselves just like they want to while they are feasting with you, they cause you to become impure, [as] [MET] stains and blotches [DOU] [ruin a clean garment].
ze worden bedrogen als loon voor bedrog. Slempen des daags is hun een genot, dat vuil, die schandvlekken; en als ze met u de gemeenschappelijke maaltijd houden, brassen ze van hun bedriegerijen.
14 They [want to commit] [MTY] adultery [with every woman] whom they look at. They never stop seeking opportunities to sin. They entice/persuade those who are [spiritually] unstable [to join them in doing the sinful things that they do]. [Because of] their ever-increasing (greed/desire to have more and more things), they are doomed [to eternal punishment].
Hun ogen zijn vol overspel en rusteloos in de zonde; wankelende zielen verlokken ze er mee. Hun hart is in hebzucht volleerd; die kinderen der vervloeking!
15 They have (rejected good moral standards/quit doing what everyone knows is right). They have imitated [what the prophet] Balaam, the son of Bosor, [did long ago]. He, [acting very] unrighteously, wanted [the enemies of the Jews] to pay him if he [asked God] ([to curse/to do bad thing to]) [the Jews].
Ze hebben de rechte weg verlaten, en zijn aan het dwalen geraakt; ze hebben de weg van Bálaäm gevolgd, van Beórs zoon, die het loon der ongerechtigheid liefhad,
16 But God rebuked him for having done that which was wrong [and for] behaving very foolishly. And even though donkeys do not speak, [God used] a donkey to hinder Balaam [by enabling it to] speak to him with a human voice.
maar een berisping voor zijn overtreding ontving: het stomme lastdier, sprekend met menselijke stem, stuitte de waanzin van den profeet.
17 These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
Ze zijn bronnen zonder water, nevelwolken opgestuwd door de wind; de uiterste duisternis staat hen te wachten.
18 By boasting proudly as they make speeches that are worthless, they entice people who have recently [become believers and] have stopped doing the things that wicked people do. Urged on by their self-directed nature, they entice them [into sin] by encouraging them to [do] evil things.
Want met hun ijdele grootspraak en losbandige vleselijke lusten verlokken ze hen, die zich ternauwernood van de dolende heidenen hebben afgewend.
19 [The false teachers] tell people that they are free [to do whatever they want to do, even though] they themselves are [like] slaves [MET] [because their own self-directed nature forces them to do] sinful things. [Think about these well-known words: “Whenever a person is controlled by something] {[something controls a person]}, [it is as though] that person has become a slave of what controls him.”
Vrijheid spiegelen ze hun voor, maar zelf zijn ze slaven van het bederf; want door wien men overwonnen is, van hem is men de slaaf.
20 Those [who teach false truths] learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, they stopped doing those things that (defile [people/cause people to become impure]) [spiritually]. Since they have begun to do [those evil things again], with the result that they are unable to stop doing them, they are in a worse condition than [they were in before they knew Jesus Christ].
Wanneer men immers door de kennis van Jesus Christus, onzen Heer en Verlosser, de besmetting der wereld is ontvlucht, maar er weer in verstrikt raakt en het onderspit delft, dan is voor zo iemand het laatste erger nog dan het eerste.
21 [Because God will severely punish them], it would have been better for them if they had never known what it means to live in a righteous way. It is too bad that although they knew [how to live in a righteous way], they stopped doing the things that God commanded people to do, the things that [were] taught to them ([by us apostles/by Christ]) {that ([we apostles/Christ]) taught to them}.
Want beter was het voor hen, de weg der gerechtigheid niet te hebben gekend, dan het heilig gebod, dat ze kregen, wèl te kennen, maar het de rug toe te keren.
22 [The way they are behaving again] is just like (the proverbs/what people often say): [They are like] dogs that return to [eat] their vomit, and [they are like] pigs that have been washed and then roll [again] in the mud.
Voor hen blijft gelden, wat het toepasselijke spreekwoord zegt: "Een hond keert terug naar zijn eigen braaksel," en "een schoon-gewassen zwijn wentelt zich weer in de modder."
