2 Peter 2
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be among you lying teachers, who will introduce divisions of perdition, and they will deny him who bought them, the Lord, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
Asi kwaiva nevaporofita venhemawo pakati pevanhu, sezvakuchavapowo vadzidzisi venhema pakati penyu, vachapinza pachivande kutsauka kunoparadza, vachiramba kunyange Ishe wakavatenga, vachizviwisira kuparara kunokurumidza.
2 And many persons will follow their indulgences; through such persons, the way of truth will be blasphemed.
Vazhinjiwo vachatevera kuparadzwa kwavo; nekuda kwavo nzira yechokwadi ichanyombwa.
3 And in avarice, they will negotiate about you with false words. Their judgment, in the near future, is not delayed, and their perdition does not sleep.
Uye pakuchiva namashoko akaumbwa vachawana mubairo nemwi; kutongwa kwavo kwakare hakunonoki, nekuparadzwa kwavo hakutsumwairi.
4 For God did not spare those Angels who sinned, but instead delivered them, as if dragged down by infernal ropes, into the torments of the underworld, to be reserved unto judgment. (Tartaroō g5020)
Nokuti kana Mwari asina kurega vatumwa vakatadza, asi wakavakandira mugehena achivakumikidza kumaketeni erima kuti vachengeterwe mutongo; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 And he did not spare the original world, but he preserved the eighth one, Noah, the herald of justice, bringing the flood upon the world of the impious.
uye haana kurega nyika yekare, asi wakachengetedza Nowa muparidzi wekururama nevamwe vanomwe, paakauisa mafashame panyika yevasingadi Mwari;
6 And he reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemning them to be overthrown, setting them as an example to anyone who might act impiously.
nekuroromesa maguta eSodhoma neGomora, akaatongera kuparadzwa, akaaita chive chiratidzo kune vachazogara vasingadi Mwari;
7 And he rescued a just man, Lot, who was oppressed by the unjust and lewd behavior of the wicked.
akanunurawo Roti wakarurama, wakazvidya moyo pakuzvibata mukunyangadza kwevakaipa;
8 For in seeing and in hearing, he was just, though he lived with those who, from day to day, crucified the just soul with works of iniquity.
(nekuti uyo wakarurama, agere pakati pavo, pakuona nekunzwa, wakarwadzisa kwazvo mweya wake wakarurama zuva rimwe nerimwe nemabasa asina murairo).
9 Thus, the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trials, and how to reserve the iniquitous for torments on the day of judgment;
Ishe anoziva kununura vanonamata Mwari kubva pamiedzo, nekuchengeta vasakarurama kusvika pazuva rekutongwa vachirangwa;
10 even more so, those who walk after the flesh in unclean desires, and who despise proper authority. Boldly pleasing themselves, they do not dread to introduce divisions by blaspheming;
asi zvikuru ivo vanofamba nemutoo wenyama paruchiva rwetsvina, nekuzvidza utongi. Vasina hanya, vane nharo, vasingatyi kutuka vanokudzwa;
11 whereas the Angels, who are greater in strength and virtue, did not bring against themselves such a deplorable judgment.
izvo vatumwa, vanopfuura pakugona nesimba, havauyisi pavari mutongo wekunyomba pamberi paIshe.
12 Yet truly, these others, like irrational beasts, naturally fall into traps and into ruin by blaspheming whatever they do not understand, and so they shall perish in their corruption,
Asi ava, vakaita semhuka pachisikirwo dzisina fungwa dzakaberekerwa kubatwa nekuparadzwa, vanotuka zvavasingazivi, vachaparadzwa pakuora kwavo,
13 receiving the reward of injustice, the fruition of valuing the delights of the day: defilements and stains, overflowing with self-indulgences, taking pleasure in their feasts with you,
vachagamuchira mubairo wekusarurama, vanoti mafaro kuita umbozha masikati, ivo makwapa nechinyadzo, vanofara mukunyengera kwavo kana vari pamabiko nemwi,
14 having eyes full of adultery and of incessant offenses, luring unstable souls, having a heart well-trained in avarice, sons of curses!
vane meso azere neupombwe, nevasingaregi chivi, vanonyengera mweya isina simba, vane moyo wakarovedzwa kuchiva; vana vechakatukwa;
15 Abandoning the straight path, they wandered astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of iniquity.
vasiya nzira yakarurama vakatsauka, vatevera nzira yaBharami waBhosori, wakada mubairo wekusarurama,
16 Yet truly, he had a correction of his madness: the mute animal under the yoke, which, by speaking with a human voice, forbid the folly of the prophet.
asi wakava nekutsiurwa kwekudarika kwake, mbongoro chimumumu ichitaura muinzwi remunhu, chikadzivisa upengo hwemuporofita.
17 These ones are like fountains without water, and like clouds stirred up by whirlwinds. For them, the mist of darkness is reserved.
Iva zvitubu zvisina mvura, makore anosundwa nedutu remhepo; ivo vakachengeterwa mhute yerima kusvikira kusingaperi. (questioned)
18 For, speaking with the arrogance of vanity, they lure, by the desires of fleshly pleasures, those who are fleeing to some extent, who are being turned from error,
Nokuti vachitaura zvekuzvikudza kusina maturo, vanokwezva neruchiva rwenyama neunzenza avo vakapukunyuka zvirokwazvo kune vanofamba mukutsauka;
19 promising them freedoms, while they themselves are the servants of corruption. For by whatever a man is overcome, of this also is he the servant.
vachivavimbisa rusununguko, ivo pachavo varanda vekuora; nokuti uyo umwe waakundwa naye, ndiyewo waanoitwa muranda kwaari.
20 For if, after taking refuge from the defilements of the world in the understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again become entangled and overcome by these things, then the latter state becomes worse than the former.
Nokuti kana vapukunyuka patsvina yenyika kubudikidza neruzivo rwaIshe neMuponesi Jesu Kristu, vanopfekanidzwazve mazviri vachikundwa, zvinhu zvekuguma zvigova kwavari zvakaipa kupfuura zvekutanga.
21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of justice than, after acknowledging it, to turn away from that holy commandment which was handed on to them.
Nokuti zvaiva nani kwavari kuti dai vaiva vasina kuziva nzira yekururama, pakuti vaziva vadzoke kubva pamurairo mutsvene wakakumikidzwa kwavari.
22 For the truth of the proverb has happened to them: The dog has returned to his own vomit, and the washed sow has returned to her wallowing in the mud.
Asi zvakaitika kwavari zvedimikira rechokwadi zvinoti: Imbwa yakadzokera kumarutsi ayo pachayo; nehadzi yenguruve yakange yashamba kukuvumburuka mumatope.
