¹But 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.

¹Aga ria wo'o nabi-nabi to boa' owi hi laintongo' tauna to mpotuku' Alata'ala. Wae wo'o tempo toi, bate ria mpai' guru agama to boa' mehupa' hi laintongo' -ni. Mpoparata-ra tudui' to uma makono to mpopanawu' tauna, pai' -ra mposapuaka Pue' to mpotolo' -ra. Ngkai kehi-ra toe-mi mponawu' woto-ra moto-ramo, pai' sohi' lia mpai' kadupa' -na.

²And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

²Aga nau' wae, wori' moto tauna to mpotuku' gau' -ra to uma tumotoa, alaa-na mpai' ria tauna to mporuge' Tudui' Yesus to makono.

³And 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.

³Ngkai kampokahina-ra doi, guru-guru to boa' toera mpojarita-kokoi jarita-jarita to ratamangko moto, bona mporata-ra rasi' ngkai koi'. Aga huku' -ra mpolia' mahae-mi naporodo-raka Alata'ala, pai' uma-pi mpai' naderu' -deru' eo karahukua' -ra toe.

⁴For 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;

⁴Bangku' mala'eka-mala'eka to mojeko' owi, Alata'ala uma mpelele' -ra tebahaka ngkai huku' -ra, bate natadi-ra hi rala naraka, pai' napotuhu-ra hi rala wulou'laa to mobengi duu' rata Eo Pobotuhia-na.

⁵And 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;

⁵Wae wo'o manusia' to dada'a owi, Alata'ala uma mpelele' -ra tebahaka ngkai huku' -ra. Dunia' to owi nagero hante ue, alaa-na mate omea-ramo tauna to mesapuaka. Muntu' nabi Nuh pai' pitu tau ntani' -na to natulungi bona neo' -ra mate, apa' Nuh toei mpopalele Lolita Alata'ala hi hawe'ea tauna pai' naparesai' -ra bona mpotuku' hawa' -na.

⁶And 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;

⁶Wae wo'o Alata'ala mpohuku' pue' ngata Sodom pai' Gomora owi apa' masala' -ra, nagero ngata-ra hante apu duu' -na jadi' awu, bona pehuku' -na hi ngata toe jadi' tonco hi tauna to uma dota mengkoru hi Hi'a.

⁷And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

⁷Aga natulungi hadua tauna to rahanga' Lot, nawi'iha-i ncala' ngkai ngata Sodom, apa' Lot toei tauna to monoa' nono-na. Kahae-na Lot mo'oha' hi ngata toe, susa' nono-na mpohilo gau' pue' ngata to bengku' pai' to uma tumotoa.

⁸(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

⁸Hi laintongo' tauna to hewa toera, peda' ncuu nono-na, apa' hi'a tauna to monoa' -i, hiaa' butu eo-nai mpohilo pai' mpo'epe babehia-ra to dada'a toe.

⁹The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

⁹Jadi', ngkai tonco-tonco toe we'i, monoto-mi tahilo baraka' -na Pue' mpotulungi tauna to mpopue' -i bona uma-ra moapa nto'u-ra mporata pesori. Pai' tahilo wo'o baraka' -na mpopotuhu tauna to dada'a bona rasesa' hi Eo Pobotuhia-na.

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰Motomo mpu'u pehuku' -na hi tauna to tungkai' mpotuku' kahinaa-kahinaa to mebaboi' pai' to mpokedi' kuasa-na. Ane guru agama to boa' toera, uma mowo kadaho' -ra, pai' mengkalangko wo'o-ra, uma-ra koo-koro' mporuge' anu mobaraka'.

¹¹Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

¹¹Bangku' mala'eka-mala'eka to meliu karoho-ra pai' kabaraka' -ra ngkai guru to boa' toera-e', uma lau-ra daho' mporuge' ba mpopakilu anu mobaraka' toe hi nyanyoa Pue' Ala.

¹²But 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;

¹²Hiaa' guru to boa' toera-rana, uma mpu'u monoto pekiri-ra. Mporuge' -ra anu mobaraka' to uma ra'incai. Kehi-ra, hewa binata to uma ria pekiri-ra ba hewa binata to putu bona ra'ahui pai' rapatehi-ra-wadi. Hewa binata toe rapatehi manusia', wae wo'o guru to boa' toera nahuku' Alata'ala sabana kehi-ra to dada'a.

¹³And 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;

¹³Huku' to mporumpa' -ra toe mpai' hintotoa hante gau' -ra. Po'ingku guru agama to boa' toera me'eai' lia. Bangku' hi eo-na rapokono lia mpotuku' konoa woto-ra moto. Hi poromua-ni, ngkoni' -ra hangkaa-ngkania hante koi', pai' -ra mpe'ohai konoa woto-ra. Ngkai kehi-ra toe pai' alaa-na raruge' doo-koi, apa' ra'uli' koi' hibalia kehi-ni hante guru to boa' toera.

¹⁴Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

¹⁴Uma rabahakai mponaa tobine doko' rapogaui' sala'. Uma raka'ohai mpobabehi jeko'. Tauna to lente pepangala' -ra ra'opa pai' rapanawu'. Rapo'ihi-mi mpokahina anu doo. Saupa-ra-hanale.

¹⁵Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

¹⁵Meleli' -ra ngkai ohea to makono, pai' -ra mpotuku' ohea to dada'a. Mpotuku' -ra ohea to natara Bileam ana' -na Beor owi, to mpokahina doi to narata ngkai pobabehi-na to dada'a.

¹⁶But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

¹⁶Bileam toei, hadua nabi Alata'ala. Ria-ki hama'a keledai-na, to kakono-na keledai biasa-wadi, aga Alata'ala mpowai' kuasa hi keledai toe mololita hewa manusia', pai' keledai toe mpokamaro Bileam ngkai gau' -na to sala', alaa-na uma-pi oko patuju-na to uma katonoa toe.

¹⁷These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

¹⁷Ane guru to boa' toera, Alata'ala mporodo-raka po'ohaa' to mobengi riki. Hira' toe hewa buwu to bangi, pai' hewa limu' to nawui ngolu' bohe aga to uma mpopana'u uda.

¹⁸For 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.

¹⁸Molangko nono-ra mpololita hawe'ea babehia-ra, tapi' lolita-ra toe uma mo'ihi. Hante lolita-ra toe, mpohinai-ra tauna to lako' mpalahii doo-doo-ra to dada'a gau' -ra. Rahinai-ra hante kahinaa-kahinaa woto to dada'a, bona ngalai' nculii' -ramo hi gau' -ra to lako' rapalahii-e wengi.

¹⁹While 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.

¹⁹Ra'uli' guru toera: "Ane nituku' tudui' -kai, tebahaka-mokoi ngkai atura, ma'ala moto-koi mpobabehi napa konoa-ni." Ntaa' we'i, hira' moto-di to tuwu' hewa batua-e, apa' kehi-kehi to mpopanawu' manusia' mpokuasai-ra. Apa' ane ria kahinaa to mpokuasai-ta, napobatua kahinaa-ta toe-tamo.

²⁰For 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.

²⁰Mpe'ahii' mpu'u-ra tauna toera. Ra'inca mpu'u-i Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus, Magau' Tompohore-ta ngkai huku' jeko' -ta, duu' -na tebahaka-ramo ngkai gau' -gau' to dada'a hi dunia' toi. Hiaa' oti toe tewirincilu' nculii' wo'o-ramo hante gau' to dada'a, duu' -na gau' to dada'a toe mpokuasai-ra. Ka'omea-na meliu kasilaka-ra ngkai to lomo' -na.

²¹For 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.

²¹Agina-pi tauna to hewa toera, ke neo' lau-ra mpo'incai ohea to makono, ngkai kampo'inca-ra ohea to makono, tapi' uma-ra dota mpotuku' hawa' Alata'ala to oti-mi raparata-raka.

²²But 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.

²²Ria lolita rapa' to mpo'uli' hewa toi: "Dike' ngkoni' nculii' koja' -na, wawu to teniu' -mi hilou motampo' nculii' hi rege'." Lolita toe bate soso' mpu'u hi tauna toera, apa' rakanculihii-rana kadada'aa to rapalahii-mie wengi.
