< Πετρου Β΄ 2 >

1 εγενοντο δε και ψευδοπροφηται εν τω λαω ωσ και εν υμιν εσονται ψευδοδιδασκαλοι οιτινεσ παρεισαξουσιν αιρεσεισ απωλειασ και τον αγορασαντα αυτουσ δεσποτην αρνουμενοι επαγοντεσ εαυτοισ ταχινην απωλειαν
Bvt there were false prophets also among the people, euen as there shalbe false teachers among you: which priuily shall bring in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lord, that hath bought them, and bring vpon themselues swift damnation.
2 και πολλοι εξακολουθησουσιν αυτων ταισ ασελγειαισ δι ουσ η οδοσ τησ αληθειασ βλασφημηθησεται
And many shall follow their destructions, by whom the way of trueth shalbe euil spoken of,
3 και εν πλεονεξια πλαστοισ λογοισ υμασ εμπορευσονται οισ το κριμα εκπαλαι ουκ αργει και η απωλεια αυτων ου νυσταξει
And through couetousnes shall they with fained words make marchandise of you, whose condemnation long since resteth not, and their destruction slumbreth not.
4 ει γαρ ο θεοσ αγγελων αμαρτησαντων ουκ εφεισατο αλλα σειραισ ζοφου ταρταρωσασ παρεδωκεν εισ κρισιν τηρουμενουσ (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God spared not the Angels that had sinned, but cast them downe into hell, and deliuered them into chaines of darkenes, to be kept vnto damnation: (Tartaroō g5020)
5 και αρχαιου κοσμου ουκ εφεισατο αλλα ογδοον νωε δικαιοσυνησ κηρυκα εφυλαξεν κατακλυσμον κοσμω ασεβων επαξασ
Neither hath spared the olde worlde, but saued Noe the eight person a preacher of righteousnesse, and brought in the flood vpon the world of the vngodly,
6 και πολεισ σοδομων και γομορρασ τεφρωσασ καταστροφη κατεκρινεν υποδειγμα μελλοντων ασεβειν τεθεικωσ
And turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrhe into ashes, condemned them and ouerthrewe them, and made them an ensample vnto them that after should liue vngodly,
7 και δικαιον λωτ καταπονουμενον υπο τησ των αθεσμων εν ασελγεια αναστροφησ ερρυσατο
And deliuered iust Loth vexed with the vncleanly conuersation of the wicked:
8 βλεμματι γαρ και ακοη ο δικαιοσ εγκατοικων εν αυτοισ ημεραν εξ ημερασ ψυχην δικαιαν ανομοισ εργοισ εβασανιζεν
(For he being righteous, and dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soule from day to day with their vnlawfull deedes.)
9 οιδεν κυριοσ ευσεβεισ εκ πειρασμου ρυεσθαι αδικουσ δε εισ ημεραν κρισεωσ κολαζομενουσ τηρειν
The Lord knoweth to deliuer the godly out of tentation, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement vnder punishment.
10 μαλιστα δε τουσ οπισω σαρκοσ εν επιθυμια μιασμου πορευομενουσ και κυριοτητοσ καταφρονουντασ τολμηται αυθαδεισ δοξασ ου τρεμουσιν βλασφημουντεσ
And chiefly them that walke after the flesh, in the lust of vncleannesse, and despise gouernement, which are bolde, and stand in their owne conceite, and feare not to speake euill of them that are in dignitie.
11 οπου αγγελοι ισχυι και δυναμει μειζονεσ οντεσ ου φερουσιν κατ αυτων παρα κυριω βλασφημον κρισιν
Where as the Angels which are greater both in power and might, giue not railing iudgement against them before the Lord.
12 ουτοι δε ωσ αλογα ζωα φυσικα γεγενημενα εισ αλωσιν και φθοραν εν οισ αγνοουσιν βλασφημουντεσ εν τη φθορα αυτων καταφθαρησονται
But these, as naturall brute beasts, led with sensualitie and made to be taken, and destroyed, speake euill of those things which they know not, and shall perish through their owne corruption,
13 κομιουμενοι μισθον αδικιασ ηδονην ηγουμενοι την εν ημερα τρυφην σπιλοι και μωμοι εντρυφωντεσ εν ταισ απαταισ αυτων συνευωχουμενοι υμιν
And shall receiue the wages of vnrighteousnes, as they which count it pleasure dayly to liue deliciously. Spottes they are and blottes, deliting them selues in their deceiuings, in feasting with you,
14 οφθαλμουσ εχοντεσ μεστουσ μοιχαλιδοσ και ακαταπαυστουσ αμαρτιασ δελεαζοντεσ ψυχασ αστηρικτουσ καρδιαν γεγυμνασμενην πλεονεξιασ εχοντεσ καταρασ τεκνα
Hauing eyes full of adulterie, and that can not cease to sinne, beguiling vnstable soules: they haue heartes exercised with couetousnesse, they are the children of curse:
15 καταλιποντεσ ευθειαν οδον επλανηθησαν εξακολουθησαντεσ τη οδω του βαλααμ του βοσορ οσ μισθον αδικιασ ηγαπησεν
Which forsaking the right way, haue gone astray, folowing the way of Balaam, the sonne of Bosor, which loued the wages of vnrighteousnes.
16 ελεγξιν δε εσχεν ιδιασ παρανομιασ υποζυγιον αφωνον εν ανθρωπου φωνη φθεγξαμενον εκωλυσεν την του προφητου παραφρονιαν
But he was rebuked for his iniquitie: for the dumme beast speaking with mans voyce, forbade the foolishnesse of the Prophet.
17 ουτοι εισιν πηγαι ανυδροι νεφελαι υπο λαιλαποσ ελαυνομεναι οισ ο ζοφοσ του σκοτουσ εισ αιωνα τετηρηται (questioned)
These are welles without water, and cloudes caried about with a tempest, to whome the blacke darkenes is reserued for euer. (questioned)
18 υπερογκα γαρ ματαιοτητοσ φθεγγομενοι δελεαζουσιν εν επιθυμιαισ σαρκοσ ασελγειαισ τουσ οντωσ αποφυγοντασ τουσ εν πλανη αναστρεφομενουσ
For in speaking swelling wordes of vanitie, they beguile with wantonnesse through the lusts of the flesh them that were cleane escaped from them which are wrapped in errour,
19 ελευθεριαν αυτοισ επαγγελλομενοι αυτοι δουλοι υπαρχοντεσ τησ φθορασ ω γαρ τισ ηττηται τουτω και δεδουλωται
Promising vnto them libertie, and are themselues the seruants of corruption: for of whomsoeuer a man is ouercome, euen vnto the same is he in bondage.
20 ει γαρ αποφυγοντεσ τα μιασματα του κοσμου εν επιγνωσει του κυριου και σωτηροσ ιησου χριστου τουτοισ δε παλιν εμπλακεντεσ ηττωνται γεγονεν αυτοισ τα εσχατα χειρονα των πρωτων
For if they, after they haue escaped from the filthinesse of the world, through the acknowledging of the Lord, and of the Sauiour Iesus Christ, are yet tangled againe therein, and ouercome, the latter ende is worse with them then the beginning.
21 κρειττον γαρ ην αυτοισ μη επεγνωκεναι την οδον τησ δικαιοσυνησ η επιγνουσιν επιστρεψαι εκ τησ παραδοθεισησ αυτοισ αγιασ εντολησ
For it had bene better for them, not to haue acknowledged the way of righteousnes, then after they haue acknowledged it, to turne from the holy commandement giuen vnto them.
22 συμβεβηκεν δε αυτοισ το τησ αληθουσ παροιμιασ κυων επιστρεψασ επι το ιδιον εξεραμα και υσ λουσαμενη εισ κυλισμα βορβορου
But it is come vnto them, according to the true Prouerbe, The dogge is returned to his owne vomit: and, The sowe that was washed, to the wallowing in the myre.
