1But there were false prophets also among the people, as there shall be also among you false teachers, who shall bring in by the bye destructive heresies, and deny the master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction;
1[Ny hahafantarana ny mpampianatra sandoka, sy faminaniana ny handringanana azy] 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. [ Na: fitokoana]
2and many shall follow their dissolute ways, through whom the way of the truth shall be blasphemed.
2Ary maro no hanaraka ny fijejojejoany; ka ireny no hitenenan-dratsy ny lalan'ny fahamarinana. [ Gr. hanaovana blasfemia, izahao Mat.9.3]
3And through covetousness, with well-turned words, will they make merchandise of you: for whom judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction slumbers not.
3Ary 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.
4For if God spared not [the] angels who had sinned, but having cast them down to the deepest pit of gloom has delivered them to chains of darkness [to be] kept for judgment;
4Fa 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, [ Na: (nafatony tamin'ny gadra fahamaizinana)]
5and spared not [the] old world, but preserved Noe, [the] eighth, a preacher of righteousness, having brought in [the] flood upon [the] world of [the] ungodly;
5ary 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,-
6and having reduced [the] cities of Sodom and Gomorrha to ashes, condemned [them] with an overthrow, setting [them as] an example to those that should [afterwards] live an ungodly life;
6ary raha nataony nanjary lavenona ny tanàna Sodoma sy Gomora ka nohelohiny horavana ary nataony fananarana ho an'izay ratsy fanahy ato aoriana,-
7and saved righteous Lot, distressed with the abandoned conversation of the godless,
7fa Lota marina, izay ory dia ory noho ny fijejojejoan'ny olona ratsy fanahy, no novonjeny ho afaka
8(for the righteous man through seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, tormented [his] righteous soul day after day with [their] lawless works,)
8(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):
9[the] Lord knows [how] to deliver the godly out of trial, and to keep [the] unjust to [the] day of judgment [to be] punished;
9dia 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,-
10and specially those who walk after the flesh in [the] lust of uncleanness, and despise lordship. Bold [are they], self-willed; they do not fear speaking injuriously of dignities:
10indrindra 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.
11when angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring against them, before the Lord, an injurious charge.
11Fa ny anjely aza, izay mihoatra amin'ny tanjaka sy ny hery, tsy mitondra fiampangana hitenenan-dratsy azy eo anatrehan'ny Tompo.
12But these, as natural animals without reason, made to be caught and destroyed, speaking injuriously in things they are ignorant of, shall also perish in their own corruption,
12Fa 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,
13receiving [the] reward of unrighteousness; accounting ephemeral indulgence pleasure; spots and blemishes, rioting in their own deceits, feasting with you;
13ary 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, [ Na: [amin'ny famitahany].
14having eyes full of adultery, and that cease not from sin, alluring unestablished souls; having a heart practised in covetousness, children of curse;
14manana 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;
15having left [the] straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the path of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved [the] reward of unrighteousness;
15efa niala tamin'ny lalana mahitsy izy ka nivily nanaraka ny lalan'i Balama, zanak'i Beora, izay tia ny tambin'ny tsi-fahamarinana, [Na: Bosora].
16but had reproof of his own wickedness -- [the] dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet.
16nefa voanatra izy noho ny fahotany: ny boriky moana efa nanao feon'olona ka nisakana ny hadalan'ilay mpaminany.
17These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved [for ever].
17Ireo efa loharano ritra, zavona entin'ny tafio-drivotra, ka efa tehirizina ho azy ny fahamaintisan'ny maizina.
18For [while] speaking great highflown words of vanity, they allure with [the] lusts of [the] flesh, by dissoluteness, those who have just fled those who walk in error,
18Fa 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; [ Na: Satria velona amin'ny filan'ny nofo ireo, dia ny fandokafany fatratra ny zava-poana no entiny mitaona ny olona izay saiky afaka tsy ho naman'ny velona eo amin'ny fahadisoana intsony ho amin'ny fijejojejoana]
19promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is subdued, by him is he also brought into slavery.
19fahafahana no ampanantenainy ireny, kanjo ny tenany aza dia andevon'ny fahalotoana; efa izay maharesy ny olona dia mahandevo avy.
20For if after having escaped the pollutions of the world through [the] knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, again entangled, they are subdued by these, their last state is worse than the first.
20Fa 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.
21For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known [it] to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
21Fa tsara aminy raha tsy nahalala ny lalan'ny fahamarinana toy izay hiala amin'ny didy masina natolotra azy, rehefa nahalala izany izy.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."
22But that [word] of the true proverb has happened to them: [The] dog [has] turned back to his own vomit; and, [The] washed sow to [her] rolling in mud.
22Efa 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."
