2 Piè 2
Haitian Creole Version
2 ¶ Malgre sa, te gen kèk fo pwofèt nan mitan pèp Bondye a nan tan lontan. Konsa tou, va gen kèk direktè nan mitan nou k'ap bay manti. Yo pral vin ak yon bann bèl pawòl ki pa vre pou yo seye pèdi nou. Y'ap vire do bay Mèt la ki te delivre yo. Y'ap rale yon chatiman sou tèt yo k'ap detwi yo lapoula.
2 Anpil moun pral swiv yo nan sa y'ap fè ki mal yo. Konsa, y'ap lakòz moun pale chemen laverite a mal.
3 ¶ Nan kouri dèyè lajan, yo pral esplwate nou ak yon bann manti. Men, depi lontan moun sa yo deja jije, nanpwen chape pou yo.
4 Bondye pa t' fè pa zanj ki te fè peche yo. Li te voye yo jete nan lanfè, li lage yo nan gwo twou kote ki fènwa anpil la, l'ap kenbe yo la pou yo tann jou jijman an.
5 Bondye pa t' fè pa moun nan tan lontan yo. Men, li te delivre Noe, yon nonm ki te mache dwat devan li, ansanm ak sèt lòt moun lè li te voye gwo inondasyon an sou mechan yo.
6 Li te kondannen lavil Sodòm ak lavil Gomò pou yo te disparèt, li fè yo tounen sann, pou sa te sèvi yon egzanp pou tout mechan ki gen pou vini apre yo.
7 ¶ Men, li te delivre Lòt, yon nonm dwat ki te pran lapenn lè l' te wè move bagay mechan yo t'ap fè.
8 Paske, nonm dwat sa a ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo a, lè li te wè, lè li te tande tout bagay mal moun sa yo t'ap fè, se chak jou li santi kè l' t'ap fann, paske li t'ap viv dwat devan Bondye.
9 Konsa, Bondye konnen ki jan pou l' delivre moun k'ap sèvi l' yo nan mitan eprèv. Men, li kite mechan yo pou l' ka peni yo jou jijman an,
10 ¶ sitou moun k'ap viv pou lachè ak tout egzijans li yo, moun k'ap meprize otorite Bondye a. Moun sa yo gen je chèch konsa, yo awogan. Yo pa menm pè pale pouvwa yo ki nan syèl la mal.
11 Menm zanj yo ki gen plis fòs ak plis pouvwa pase moun sa yo pa pote move akizasyon kont pouvwa ki nan syèl yo devan Bondye.
12 Mesye sa yo menm, yo tankou bèt ki san konprann, k'ap viv dapre ensten yo epi ki la sou latè pou moun kenbe touye. Yo pale mal sou bagay yo pa konnen, yo gen pou yo peri menm jan ak bèt.
13 Yo gen pou yo soufri pou tou sa yo te fè moun soufri. Yo pran plezi fè debòch gwo lajounen. Se yon wont, se yon eskandal lè moun sa yo k'ap pran plezi yo nan fè sa ki mal chita sou menm tab ak nou lè n'ap fè fèt.
14 Je yo kale sou tout fanm. Se tout tan y'ap fè peche. Yo pran tèt moun ki fèb yo nan pèlen. Nanpwen moun renmen lajan tankou yo. Se moun ki anba madichon.
15 Yo kite chemen ki dwat la, yo pèdi wout yo nèt. Yo pran swiv chemen Balaram, pitit Bozò a, ki te fè sa ki mal poutèt lajan.
16 Men, yo te kouri dèyè l' pou mechanste li a: yon bourik ki pa menm gen lapawòl te pale avè l' tankou yon moun. Se sa ki te fè pwofèt la sispann aji tankou moun fou.
17 Moun sa yo tankou sous dlo ki cheche, tankou nway gwo van ap pote ale. Kote ki fènwa anpil la ap pare tann yo tou.
18 Y'ap pale ak awogans pawòl ki pa gen sans. Avèk lavi lib y'ap mennen pou satisfè lachè a, y'ap pran tèt moun ki fèk ap chape nan mitan moun k'ap viv nan manti yo.
19 Yo pwomèt y'ap ba yo libète. Men, yo menm se esklav movèz vi a yo ye. Paske, yon moun esklav tout bagay ki donminen sou li.
20 Moun ki rive konnen Jezikri tankou Seyè ak Sovè li, li fin chape anba tout vye bagay mal ki nan lemonn. Si apre sa, li tounen mele ladan yo ankò, si l' kite bagay sa yo pran pye sou li ankò, l'ap pi mal pou li pase jan l' te ye anvan an.
21 Sa ta pi bon pou li si l' pa t' janm konnen chemen dwat la, pase pou, lè li fin konnen l' lan, li vire do bay kòmandman li te resevwa nan men Bondye a.
22 Sa ki rive yo a moutre sa pwovèb la di a se vre: Chen an tounen vin manje sa li te vonmi an. Lave manman kochon, li al woule nan labou ankò.
2 Peter 2
New International Version
False Teachers and Their Destruction
2 But there were also false prophets(A) among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.(B) They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord(C) who bought them(D)—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct(E) and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed(F) these teachers will exploit you(G) with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned,(H) but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[b] to be held for judgment;(I) 5 if he did not spare the ancient world(J) when he brought the flood on its ungodly people,(K) but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;(L) 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes,(M) and made them an example(N) of what is going to happen to the ungodly;(O) 7 and if he rescued Lot,(P) a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless(Q) 8 (for that righteous man,(R) living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials(S) and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.(T) 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(U) of the flesh[c] and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;(V) 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[d] the Lord.(W) 12 But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.(X)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(Y) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[e](Z) 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce(AA) the unstable;(AB) they are experts in greed(AC)—an accursed brood!(AD) 15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam(AE) son of Bezer,[f] who loved the wages of wickedness. 16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.(AF)
17 These people are springs without water(AG) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(AH) 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(AI) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(AJ) from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”(AK) 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing(AL) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ(AM) and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.(AN) 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.(AO) 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”[g](AP) and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
