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.

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;

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

²and many shall follow their dissolute ways, through whom the way of the truth shall be blasphemed.

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

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;

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.

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;

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.

⁷and saved righteous Lot, distressed with the abandoned conversation of the godless,

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.

⁸(for the righteous man through seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, tormented [his] righteous soul day after day with [their] lawless works,)

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.

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;

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'.

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:

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.

¹¹when angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring against them, before the Lord, an injurious charge.

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.

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,

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.

¹³receiving [the] reward of unrighteousness; accounting ephemeral indulgence pleasure; spots and blemishes, rioting in their own deceits, feasting with you;

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.

¹⁴having eyes full of adultery, and that cease not from sin, alluring unestablished souls; having a heart practised in covetousness, children of curse;

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.

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;

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.

¹⁶but had reproof of his own wickedness -- [the] dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet.

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.

¹⁷These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved [for ever].

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
