1Nguni't may nagsilitaw din naman sa bayan na mga bulaang propeta, na gaya naman sa inyo'y magkakaroon ng mga bulaang guro, na mangagpapasok sa lihim ng mga makakapahamak na mga hiduwang pananampalataya, na itatatuwa pati ang Panginoon na bumili sa kanila, na mangagtataglay sa kanilang sarili ng madaling pagkapahamak. 2At maraming magsisisunod sa kanilang mga gawang mahahalay; na dahil sa kanila ay pagsasalitaan ng masama ang daan ng katotohanan. 3At sa kasakiman sa mga pakunwaring salita ay ipangangalakal kayo: na ang hatol nga sa kanila mula nang una ay hindi nagluluwat, at ang kanilang kapahamakan ay hindi nagugupiling. 4Sapagka't kung ang Dios ay hindi nagpatawad sa mga anghel nang mangagkasala ang mga yaon, kundi sila'y ibinulid sa impierno, at kinulong sa mga hukay ng kadiliman, upang ilaan sa paghuhukom; 5At ang dating sanglibutan ay hindi pinatawad, datapuwa't iningatan si Noe na tagapangaral ng katuwiran na kasama ng ibang pito pa, noong dalhin ang pagkagunaw sa sanglibutan ng masasama; 6At pinarusahan niya ng pagkalipol ang mga bayan ng Sodoma at Gomorra na pinapaging abo, nang maging halimbawa sa mga magsisipamuhay na masama: 7At iniligtas ang matuwid na si Lot, na lubhang nahahapis sa mahahalay na pamumuhay ng masasama: 8(Sapagka't ang matuwid na ito na namamayang kasama nila, ay lubhang nahapis araw-araw ang kaniyang matuwid na kaluluwa sa pagkakita at pagkarinig niya, ng mga gawa nilang laban sa kautusan): 9Ang Panginoon ay marunong magligtas ng mga banal, sa tukso at maglaan ng mga di matuwid sa ilalim ng kaparusahan hanggang sa araw ng paghuhukom; 10Datapuwa't lalong-lalo na ng mga nagsisilakad ng ayon sa laman sa masamang pita ng karumihan, at nangapopoot sa pagkasakop. Mga pangahas, mapagsariling kalooban, sila'y hindi natatakot na magsialipusta sa mga pangulo: 11Samantalang ang mga anghel, bagama't lalong dakila ang lakas at kapangyarihan, ay hindi nagtataglay ng paghatol na may alipusta laban sa kanila sa harapan ng Panginoon. 12Datapuwa't ang mga ito, na gaya ng mga kinapal na walang bait, na ipinanganak na talagang mga hayop upang hulihin at lipulin, na nagsisialipusta sa mga bagay na hindi nila nalalaman ay walang pagsalang lilipulin sa kanila ring pagkalipol. 13Na nangagbabata ng masama na kabayaran ng gawang masama; palibhasa'y inaari nilang isang kaligayahan ang magpakalayaw kung araw, mga dungis at kapintasan, na nangagpapakalayaw sa kanilang mga daya, samantalang sila'y nangakikipagpiging sa inyo; 14Na may mga matang puspos ng pangangalunya, at hindi maaaring maglikat sa pagkakasala; na umaakit sa mga kaluluwang walang tiyaga; na may pusong sanay sa kasakiman; mga anak ng paglait, 15Na pagkaalis sa daang matuwid ay nangaligaw sila, palibhasa'y nagsisunod sa daan ni Balaam na anak ni Beor, na nagibig ng kabayaran ng gawang masama; 16Datapuwa't siya'y sinasaway dahil sa kaniyang sariling pagsalangsang: na isang asnong pipi ay nangusap ng tinig ng tao at pinigil ang kaululan ng propeta. 17Ang mga ito'y mga bukal na walang tubig, mga ulap na tinatangay ng unos; na sa kanila'y itinaan ang kapusikitan ng kadiliman; 18Sapagka't, sa pananalita ng mga kapalaluan na walang kabuluhan, ay umaakit sila sa masasamang pita ng laman, sa pamamagitan ng kalibugan, doon sa nagsisitakas sa nangamumuhay sa kamalian; 19Na pinangangakuan ng kalayaan, samantalang sila'y mga alipin ng kabulukan; sapagka't ang nadaig ninoman ay naging alipin din naman niyaon. 20Sapagka't kung, pagkatapos na sila'y makatakas sa mga pagkahawa sa sanglibutan sa pamamagitan ng pagkakilala sa Panginoon at Tagapagligtas na si Jesucristo, ay muling mahalubiluhan at madaig niyaon, ay lalong sumasama ang huling kalagayan nila kay sa nang una. 21Sapagka't magaling pa sa kanila ang hindi nakakilala ng daan ng katuwiran, kay sa, pagkatapos na makakilala ito ay tumalikod sa banal na utos na ibinigay sa kanila. 22Nangyari sa kanila ang ayon sa kawikaang tunay, Nagbabalik na muli ang aso sa kaniyang sariling suka, at sa paglulubalob sa pusali ang babaing baboy na nahugasan.
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. 2Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned. 3In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber. 4For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 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; 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; 7and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked 8(for that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds): 9the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment; 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; 11whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord. 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, 13receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you; 14having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing; 15forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing; 16but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet. 17These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. 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; 19promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him. 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. 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. 22But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
1En er zijn ook valse profeten onder het volk geweest, gelijk ook onder u valse leraars zijn zullen, die verderfelijke ketterijen bedektelijk invoeren zullen, ook den Heere, Die hen gekocht heeft, verloochenende, en een haastig verderf over zichzelven brengende; 2En velen zullen hun verderfenissen navolgen, door welke de weg der waarheid zal gelasterd worden. 3En zij zullen door gierigheid, met gemaakte woorden, van u een koopmanschap maken; over welke het oordeel van over lang niet ledig is, en hun verderf sluimert niet. 4Want indien God de engelen, die gezondigd hebben, niet gespaard heeft, maar, die in de hel geworpen hebbende, overgegeven heeft aan de ketenen der duisternis, om tot het oordeel bewaard te worden; 5En de oude wereld niet heeft gespaard, maar Noach, den prediker der gerechtigheid, zijn achttal bewaard heeft, als Hij den zondvloed over de wereld der goddelozen heeft gebracht; 6En de steden van Sodoma en Gomorra tot as verbrandende met omkering veroordeeld heeft, en tot een voorbeeld gezet dengenen, die goddelooslijk zouden leven; 7En den rechtvaardigen Lot, die vermoeid was van den ontuchtigen wandel der gruwelijken mensen, daaruit verlost heeft; 8(Want deze rechtvaardige man, wonende onder hen, heeft dag op dag zijn rechtvaardige ziel gekweld, door het zien en horen van hun ongerechtige werken); 9Zo weet de Heere de godzaligen uit de verzoeking te verlossen, en de onrechtvaardigen te bewaren tot den dag des oordeels, om gestraft te worden; 10Maar allermeest degenen, die naar het vlees in onreine begeerlijkheid wandelen, en de heerschappij verachten; die stout zijn, zichzelven behagen, en die de heerlijkheden niet schromen te lasteren; 11Daar de engelen in sterkte en kracht meerder zijnde, geen lasterlijk oordeel tegen hen voor den Heere voortbrengen. 12Maar dezen, als onredelijke dieren, die de natuur volgen, en voortgebracht zijn om gevangen en gedood te worden, dewijl zij lasteren, hetgeen zij niet verstaan, zullen in hun verdorvenheid verdorven worden; 13En zullen verkrijgen het loon der ongerechtigheid, als die de dagelijkse weelde hun vermaak achten, zijnde vlekken en smetten, en zijn weelderig in hun bedriegerijen, als zij in de maaltijden met u zijn; 14Hebbende de ogen vol overspel, en die niet ophouden van zondigen; verlokkende de onvaste zielen, hebbende het hart geoefend in gierigheid, kinderen der vervloeking; 15Die den rechten weg verlaten hebbende, zijn verdwaald, en volgen den weg van Balaam, den zoon van Bosor, die het loon der ongerechtigheid liefgehad heeft; 16Maar hij heeft de bestraffing zijner ongerechtigheid gehad; want het jukdragende stomme dier, sprekende met mensenstem, heeft des profeten dwaasheid verhinderd. 17Dezen zijn waterloze fonteinen, wolken van een draaiwind gedreven, denwelken de donkerheid der duisternis in der eeuwigheid bewaard wordt. 18Want zij, zeer opgeblazene ijdelheid sprekende, verlokken, door de begeerlijkheden des vleses en door ontuchtigheden, degenen, die waarlijk ontvloden waren van degenen, die in dwaling wandelen; 19Belovende hun vrijheid, daar zijzelven dienstknechten zijn der verdorvenheid; want van wien iemand overwonnen is, dien is hij ook tot een dienstknecht gemaakt. 20Want indien zij, nadat zij door de kennis van den Heere en Zaligmaker Jezus Christus, de besmettingen der wereld ontvloden zijn, en in dezelve wederom ingewikkeld zijnde, van dezelve overwonnen worden, zo is hun het laatste erger geworden dan het eerste. 21Want het ware hun beter, dat zij den weg der gerechtigheid niet gekend hadden, dan dat zij, dien gekend hebbende, weder afkeren van het heilige gebod, dat hun overgegeven was. 22Maar hun is overkomen, hetgeen met een waar spreekwoord gezegd wordt: De hond is wedergekeerd tot zijn eigen uitbraaksel; en de gewassen zeug tot de wenteling in het slijk.
