彼得後書

第2章

1 從前在百姓中有假先知起來,將來在你們中間,也必有假教師[teachers],私自引進可咒詛的[damnable]異端,連買他們的主他們也不承認,自取速速的滅亡。

2 將有許多人隨從他們邪淫的行為,便叫真理的道[way of truth]因他們的緣故被毀謗。

3 他們因有貪心,要用捏造的言語在你們身上取利;他們的刑罰,自古以來並不遲延;他們的咒詛[damnation]不打盹[slumbereth not]

4 就是天使犯了罪,神也沒有寬容,曾把他們丟在地獄,交在黑暗的鎖鏈[chains]中,等候審判。

5 神也沒有寬容上古的世代,曾叫洪水臨到那不敬虔的世代,卻保護了傳義道的第八代人挪亞[Noah the eighth person]

6 又判定所多瑪、蛾摩拉,將二城傾覆,焚燒成灰,作為後世不敬虔人的鑑戒;

7 只搭救了那常為惡人淫行憂傷的義人羅得。

8 (因為那義人住在他們中間,看見聽見他們不法的事,他的義心就天天傷痛。)

9 主知道搭救敬虔的人脫離試探,把不義的人留在刑罰之下,等候審判的日子。

10 那些隨肉身、縱污穢的情慾、輕慢主治之人的,更是如此。他們膽大任性,毀謗在尊位的,也不知懼怕。

11 就是天使,雖然力量權能更大,還不用毀謗的話在主面前告他們。

12 但這些人好像沒有靈性,生來就是畜類,以備捉拿宰殺的。他們毀謗所不曉得的事,必在自己的敗壞中全然滅亡[shall utterly perish in their own corruption]

13 行的不義,就得了不義的工價。這些人喜愛白晝宴樂,他們已被玷污,又有瑕疵,正與你們一同坐席,就以自己的詭詐為快樂。

14 他們滿眼是淫色[adultery],止不住犯罪,引誘那心不堅固的人,心中習慣了貪婪,正是被咒詛的種類。

15 他們離棄正路,就走差了,隨從比珥之子巴蘭的路。巴蘭就是那貪愛不義之工價的先知,

16 他卻為自己的過犯受了責備;那不能說話的驢以人[voice]攔阻先知的狂妄。

17 這些人是無水的井,是狂風催逼的雲霧[clouds],有墨黑的幽暗永遠[for ever]為他們存留。

18 他們說虛妄矜誇的大話,用肉身的情慾和邪淫的事引誘那些剛才脫離妄行的人。

19 他們應許人得以自由,自己卻作敗壞的僕人[servants],因為人被誰制伏就是誰的奴僕。

20 倘若他們因認識主─救主耶穌基督,得以脫離世上的污穢,後來又在其中被纏住、制伏,他們末後的景況就比先前更不好了。

21 他們曉得義路,竟背棄了傳給他們的聖命,倒不如不曉得為妙。

22 照著真俗語說[according to the true proverb]:「狗所吐的,牠轉過來又吃;豬洗淨了又回到泥裏去輥。」在他們身上[unto them]倒是[But]應了這話[it is happened]

Chapter 2

1 But there were false5578 prophets5578 also2532 among1722 the people,2992 even2532 as there shall be false5572 teachers5572 among1722 you, who3748 privately3919 shall bring3919 in damnable684 heresies,139 even2532 denying720 the Lord1203 that bought59 them, and bring1863 on themselves1438 swift5031 destruction.684

2 And many4183 shall follow1811 their pernicious684 ways;684 by reason1223 of whom3739 the way3598 of truth225 shall be evil987 spoken987 of.

3 And through1722 covetousness4124 shall they with feigned4112 words3056 make1710 merchandise of you: whose3739 judgment2917 now of a long time1597 lingers691 not, and their damnation684 slumbers3573 not.

4 For if1487 God2316 spared5339 not the angels32 that sinned,264 but cast5020 them down to hell,5020 and delivered3860 them into chains4577 of darkness,2217 to be reserved5083 to judgment;2920

5 And spared5339 not the old744 world,2889 but saved5442 Noah3575 the eighth3590 person, a preacher2783 of righteousness,1343 bringing1863 in the flood2627 on the world2889 of the ungodly;765

6 And turning5077 the cities4172 of Sodom4670 and Gomorrha1116 into ashes5077 condemned2632 them with an overthrow,2692 making4160 them an ensample5262 to those3588 that after3195 should3195 live ungodly;764

7 And delivered4506 just1342 Lot,3091 vexed2669 with the filthy766 conversation391 of the wicked:113

8 (For that righteous1342 man dwelling1460 among1722 them, in seeing990 and hearing,189 vexed928 his righteous1342 soul5590 from day2250 to day2250 with their unlawful459 deeds;2041)

9 The Lord2962 knows1492 how to deliver4506 the godly2152 out of temptations,3986 and to reserve5083 the unjust94 to the day2250 of judgment2920 to be punished:2849

10 But chiefly3122 them that walk4198 after3694 the flesh4561 in the lust1939 of uncleanness,3394 and despise2706 government.2963 Presumptuous5113 are they, self-willed,829 they are not afraid5141 to speak987 evil987 of dignities.1391

11 Whereas3699 angels,32 which are greater3187 in power2479 and might,1411 bring5342 not railing989 accusation2920 against2596 them before3844 the Lord.2962

12 But these,3778 as natural5446 brute249 beasts,2226 made1080 to be taken259 and destroyed,5356 speak987 evil987 of the things that they understand50 not; and shall utterly2704 perish2704 in their own848 corruption;5356

13 And shall receive2865 the reward3408 of unrighteousness,93 as they that count2233 it pleasure2237 to riot5172 in the day2250 time. Spots4696 they are and blemishes,3470 sporting1792 themselves with their own848 deceivings539 while they feast4910 with you;

14 Having2192 eyes3788 full3324 of adultery,3428 and that cannot180 cease180 from sin;266 beguiling1185 unstable793 souls:5590 an heart2588 they have2192 exercised1128 with covetous4124 practices; cursed2671 children:5043

15 Which have2192 forsaken2641 the right2117 way,3598 and are gone4105 astray,4105 following1811 the way3598 of Balaam903 the son of Bosor,1007 who3739 loved25 the wages3408 of unrighteousness;93

16 But was rebuked2192 1649 for his iniquity:3892 the dumb880 ass5268 speaking5350 with man's444 voice5456 forbade2967 the madness3913 of the prophet.4396

17 These3778 are wells4077 without504 water,504 clouds3507 that are carried4064 with a tempest;2978 to whom3739 the mist2217 of darkness4655 is reserved5083 for ever.165

18 For when they speak5350 great5246 swelling5246 words of vanity,3153 they allure1185 through1722 the lusts1939 of the flesh,4561 through much wantonness,766 those3588 that were clean3689 escaped668 from them who live390 in error.4106

19 While they promise1861 them liberty,1657 they themselves846 are the servants1401 of corruption:5356 for of whom3739 a man5100 is overcome,2274 of the same3778 is he brought1402 in bondage.1402

20 For if1487 after they have escaped668 the pollutions3393 of the world2889 through1722 the knowledge1922 of the Lord2962 and Savior4990 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 they are again3825 entangled1707 therein,5125 and overcome,2274 the latter2078 end2078 is worse5501 with them than the beginning.4413

21 For it had been2258 better2909 for them not to have known1921 the way3598 of righteousness,1343 than,2228 after they have known1921 it, to turn1994 from the holy40 commandment1785 delivered3860 to them.

22 But it is happened4819 to them according to the true227 proverb,3942 The dog2965 is turned1994 to his own2398 vomit1829 again;1994 and the sow5300 that was washed3068 to her wallowing2946 in the mire.1004
