2 Petelo 2
1 Ndenge kaka basakoli ya lokuta bazalaki kati na bana ya Isalaele na tango ya kala, ndenge wana mpe bateyi ya lokuta bakozala kati na bino; bakokotisa na mayele mabe mateya ya lokuta mpe ya libebi kino ata kowangana Nkolo oyo asikolaki bango, mpe bakomibendela libebi na mbalakata.
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.
2 Bato ebele bakolanda bango kati na mobulu na bango, mpe nzela ya bosolo ekofingama likolo na bango.
Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
3 Kati na lokoso na bango, bakobetela bino masolo ya lokuta mpo na kobenda bino mbongo na nzela ya maloba ya sukali. Nzokande, wuta kala, Nzambe akatela bango etumbu oyo ekoki mpo na bango, mpe libebi ezali penza kozela bango.
In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
4 Soki Nzambe azangaki te kopesa na ba-anjelu oyo basalaki masumu etumbu kasi abwakaki bango ya kokangama na minyololo kati na molili makasi ya lifelo epai wapi abombi bango mpo na kozela mokolo ya kosambisama, (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 soki ayokelaki te mokili ya kala mawa kasi abikisaki bato mwambe oyo kati na bango ezalaki na Noa oyo azalaki kosakola bosembo na tango ya mpela oyo abebisaki na yango mokili elongo na bato oyo batosaki Ye te,
and didn’t 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,
6 soki Nzambe apesaki na bingumba ya Sodome mpe Gomore etumbu na nzela ya moto oyo ezikisaki yango kino ekomaki putulu mpo na kopesa ndakisa ya etumbu oyo ekokweyela bato ya masumu
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,
7 kasi akangolaki Loti, moto ya sembo, oyo atondaki na mawa kati na motema na ye likolo na mobulu ya bato wana ya mabe,
and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
8 (pamba te moto oyo ya sembo azalaki kovanda kati na bango mpe, mokolo na mokolo, azalaki komitungisa makasi kati na motema na ye mpo na mabe oyo azalaki komona mpe koyoka),
(for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
9 elingi koloba ete Nkolo azali na makoki ya kokangola bayengebene kati na komekama mpe ya kopesa, na mokolo ya kosambisama, etumbu epai ya bato mabe.
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
10 Akopesa mingi-mingi etumbu epai ya ba-oyo, mpo na lokoso na bango ya makambo ya mbindo, batambolaka kolanda baposa mabe ya nzoto mpe batiolaka bokonzi ya Nkolo. Lokola bateyi yango ya lokuta batondi na lolendo mpe bamimonaka lokola bakoka na nyonso, babangaka te kofinga bikelamu ya nkembo;
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,
11 nzokande ba-anjelu, ba-oyo baleki kutu bango na makasi mpe na nguya, bamekaka kutu te kobimisa, liboso ya Nkolo, maloba ya kofinga bikelamu wana ya nkembo.
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
12 Kasi bango, bateyi ya lokuta, lokola banyama oyo ezanga mayele, oyo etambolaka na bonyama, oyo ebongisama mpo ete bato bakanga yango na mitambo mpe baboma yango, bafingaka oyo bayebi te. Mpo na yango, bakokufa lokola banyama,
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,
13 bakozwa lifuti oyo ebongi na mabe na bango. Basepelaka kosala makambo ya soni na moyi makasi. Na lokuta na bango, basepelaka kosambwisa mpe kobebisa lokumu na bino tango basanganaka elongo na bino mpo na mayangani.
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;
14 Miso na bango elembaka te kolula basi mpo na koluka kosala na bango ekobo, balembaka te kosala masumu, bakosaka bato oyo balendisama malamu te na kondima; bazali na mitema etonda na lokoso: bazali na se ya bilakeli mabe ya Nzambe.
having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
15 Sima na bango kotika nzela ya solo, bapengwaki mbala moko na kolanda nzela ya Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, oyo alingaki lifuti ya mabe;
Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
16 kasi Nzambe apamelaki ye mpo na bozangi botosi na ye, atiaki maloba ya bomoto kati na monoko ya ane ya mwasi, mpe nyama yango oyo elobaka te esukisaki bozoba ya mosakoli.
but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
17 Bateyi yango ya lokuta bazali lokola bitima oyo ebimisaka lisusu mayi te to lokola mapata oyo mopepe makasi etindikaka. Nzambe abombela bango esika kati na molili makasi.
These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (questioned)
18 Pamba te, mpo na kosepelisa baposa mabe ya banzoto na bango, basalelaka maloba ya sukali mpe ezanga tina mpo na kopengwisa bato oyo bawuti kobongola mitema sika wana bawuti kokabwana na bato oyo babikaka kati na libunga.
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;
19 Balakaka bango bonsomi, nzokande bango moko bazali bawumbu ya baposa mabe ya nzoto, oyo ememaka bango na libebi; pamba te moto nyonso azali mowumbu ya oyo ekonzaka ye.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
20 Soki, sima na bango kokabwana na mbindo ya mokili, mpo ete bayebi Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo mpe Mobikisi na biso, bamizongisi lisusu na bowumbu ya mbindo yango, bomoi na bango ekokoma mabe koleka ndenge ezalaki liboso.
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.
21 Elingaki kozala malamu mingi mpo na bango koyeba te nzela ya bosembo, na esika ete, sima na bango koyeba nzela ya bosembo, basundola mibeko ya bule oyo epesamelaki bango.
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.
22 Ezaleli na bango elongisi bosolo ya masese oyo: « Mbwa ezongelaka biloko oyo yango moko esanzi » mpe « Ngulu oyo basukoli ezongelaka kotambola kati na potopoto. »
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.”
