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 false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on 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.

²Many will follow their immoral TR reads “destructive” instead of “immoral” ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.

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.

³In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

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 didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus Tartarus is another name for Hell , and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved 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 didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on 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 turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly;

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 delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked

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 that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds):

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.

⁹the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment;

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'.

¹⁰but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

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.

¹¹whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.

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 unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,

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 wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceit while they feast 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 who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

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.

¹⁵forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;

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 he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness 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 wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

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, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live 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 bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

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 they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them 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 would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing 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 it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” Proverbs 26:11 and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
