II Peter 2

Efa nisy mpaminany sandoka teo amin'ny olona Isiraely, ary hisy koa mpampianatra sandoka tahaka izany eo aminareo, izay hahatonga mangingina sain-diso mahavery ary handà ny Tompo Izay nividy azy aza ka hahatonga fahaverezana tampoka ho amin'ny tenany.

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Ary maro no hanaraka ny fijejojejoany; ka ireny no hitenenan-dratsy ny lalan'ny fahamarinana.

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

Ary amin'ny hafatratry ny fitiavany harena no hanaovany varotra anareo amin'ny teny mamitaka; efa ela izay no tsy nijanonjanona ny fitsarana ireny, ary tsy rendremana ny fahaverezany.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Fa raha tsy navelan'Andriamanitra ny anjely fony nanota, fa noroahiny ho any amin'ny helo ka natolony ho ao an-davaka maizina mba hotehirizina ho amin'ny fitsarana,

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

ary raha tsy namela izao rehetra izao taloha Izy, fa namonjy an'i Noa, mpitory ny fahamarinana, sy ireo fito, fony nahatonga ny safo-drano tamin'ny ratsy fanahy teo amin'izao tontolo izao,-

And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

ary raha nataony nanjary lavenona ny tanàna Sodoma sy Gomora ka nohelohiny horavana ary nataony fananarana ho an'izay ratsy fanahy ato aoriana,-

And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

fa Lota marina, izay ory dia ory noho ny fijejojejoan'ny olona ratsy fanahy, no novonjeny ho afaka

And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

(fa izany lehilahy marina izany, raha nitoetra teo aminy, dia nahory loatra ny fanahiny marina isan'andro isan'andro noho ny nahitany sy ny nandrenesany ny fandikan'ireo ny lalàna):

(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

dia fantatry ny Tompo izay hamonjeny ny tsara fanahy amin'ny fakam-panahy sy ny hitehirizany ny olona tsy marina amin'ny fijaliana ho amin'ny andro fitsarana,-

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

indrindra fa izay mandeha araka ny fitarihan'ny nofo hila zava-mahaloto ka manamavo ny manana fahalehibiazana. Ireo efa olona sahisahy, mitompo teny fantatra sady tsy matahotra hiteny ratsy ny manana voninahitra.

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Fa ny anjely aza, izay mihoatra amin'ny tanjaka sy ny hery, tsy mitondra fiampangana hitenenan-dratsy azy eo anatrehan'ny Tompo.

Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

Fa ireo kosa izay miteny ratsy ny zavatra tsy fantany (tahaka ny biby tsy manan-tsaina, fa zava-manan'aina fotsiny ihany, izay teraka ho fisambotra sy ho famono) dia haringana tokoa amin'ny fahalotoany,

But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

ary hiharan'ny ratsy ho valin'ny faharatsiany izy. Ataony ho zava-mahafinaritra ny velona vetivety amin'ny fy, ka be pentimpentina sy tsiny izy sady velona amin'ny fy eo amin'ny fanasam-pifankatiavany, raha miara-mihinana aminareo,

And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

manana maso feno fijangajangana, izay tsy mety mitsahatra amin'ny fahotana: dia mamitaka ny tsy miorina tsara izy; ary mampaharatra ny fony amin'ny hafatratry ny fitiavany harena, dia zanaky ny fanozonana izy;

Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

efa niala tamin'ny lalana mahitsy izy ka nivily nanaraka ny lalan'i Balama, zanak'i Beora, izay tia ny tambin'ny tsi-fahamarinana,

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

nefa voanatra izy noho ny fahotany: ny boriky moana efa nanao feon'olona ka nisakana ny hadalan'ilay mpaminany.

But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

Ireo efa loharano ritra, zavona entin'ny tafio-drivotra, ka efa tehirizina ho azy ny fahamaintisan'ny maizina.

These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

Fa mandoka fatratra ny zava-poana ireo, ka ny filan'ny nofo, dia ny fijejojejoana, no entiny mamitaka ny olona izay saiky afaka tsy ho naman'ny velona eo amin'ny fahadisoana intsony;

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

fahafahana no ampanantenainy ireny, kanjo ny tenany aza dia andevon'ny fahalotoana; efa izay maharesy ny olona dia mahandevo avy.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

Fa raha misy efa afaka amin'ny fahalotoan'izao tontolo izao noho ny fahalalana tsara an'i Jesosy Kristy, Tompo sy Mpamonjy, nefa voasingotr'izany indray ka resy, ny farany dia ratsy noho ny voalohany.

For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

Fa tsara aminy raha tsy nahalala ny lalan'ny fahamarinana toy izay hiala amin'ny didy masina natolotra azy, rehefa nahalala izany izy.

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Efa mihatra aminy ny ohabolana marina hoe: "Ny amboa miverina indray amin'ny loany" (Oha. 26. 11), ary: "Ny kisoavavy efa nisasa dia mihosim-potaka indray."

But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
