2 Peter 2

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 As there were false prophets in the past history of our people, so you too wil have your false teachers,who wil insinuate their own disruptive views and, by disowning the Lord who bought them freedom, wil bringupon themselves speedy destruction.	1 ولكن كان ايضا في الشعب انبياء كذبة كما سيكون فيكم ايضا معلّمون كذبة الذين يدسّون بدع هلاك واذ هم ينكرون الرب الذي اشتراهم يجلبون على انفسهم هلاكا سريعا.
2 Many wil copy their debauched behaviour, and the Way of Truth wil be brought into disrepute on theiraccount.	2 وسيتبع كثيرون تهلكاتهم. الذين بسببهم يجدف على طريق الحق.
3 In their greed they wil try to make a profit out of you with untrue tales. But the judgement made uponthem long ago is not idle, and the destruction awaiting them is for ever on the watch.	3 وهم في الطمع يتّجرون بكم باقوال مصنعة الذين دينونتهم منذ القديم لا تتوانى وهلاكهم لا ينعس.
4 When angels sinned, God did not spare them: he sent them down into the underworld and consignedthem to the dark abyss to be held there until the Judgement.	4 لانه ان كان الله لم يشفق على ملائكة قد اخطأوا بل في سلاسل الظلام طرحهم في جهنم وسلمهم محروسين للقضاء
5 He did not spare the world in ancient times: he saved only Noah, the preacher of uprightness, alongwith seven others, when he sent the Flood over a world of sinners.	5 ولم يشفق على العالم القديم بل انما حفظ نوحا ثامنا كارزا للبر اذ جلب طوفانا على عالم الفجار.
6 He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by reducing them to ashes as a warning to futuresinners;	6 واذ رمّد مدينتي سدوم وعمورة حكم عليهما بالانقلاب واضعا عبرة للعتيدين ان يفجروا
7 but rescued Lot, an upright man who had been sickened by the debauched way in which these vilepeople behaved-	7 وانقذ لوطا البار مغلوبا من سيرة الاردياء في الدعارة.
8 for that upright man, living among them, was outraged in his upright soul by the crimes that he saw andheard every day.	8 اذ كان البار بالنظر والسمع وهو ساكن بينهم يعذب يوما فيوما نفسه البارة بالافعال الاثيمة.
9 Al this shows that the Lord is well able to rescue the good from their trials, and hold the wicked for theirpunishment until the Day of Judgement,	9 يعلم الرب ان ينقذ الاتقياء من التجربة ويحفظ الاثمة الى يوم الدين معاقبين
10 especially those who follow the desires of their corrupt human nature and have no respect for theLord's authority. Such self-wil ed people with no reverence are not afraid of offending against the glorious ones,	10 ولا سيما الذين يذهبون وراء الجسد في شهوة النجاسة ويستهينون بالسيادة. جسورون معجبون بانفسهم لا يرتعبون ان يفتروا على ذوي الامجاد
11 but the angels in their greater strength and power make no complaint or accusation against them inthe Lord's presence.	11 حيث ملائكة وهم اعظم قوة وقدرة لا يقدمون عليهم لدى الرب حكم افتراء.
12 But these people speak evil of what they do not understand; they are like brute beasts, born only to becaught and kil ed, and like beasts they wil be destroyed, being injured in return for the injuries they haveinflicted.	12 اما هؤلاء فكحيوانات غير ناطقة طبيعية مولودة للصيد والهلاك يفترون على ما يجهلون فسيهلكون في فسادهم
13 Debauchery even by day they make their pleasure; they are unsightly blots, and amuse themselves bytheir trickery even when they are sharing your table;	13 آخذين اجرة الاثم. الذين يحسبون تنعم يوم. لذة ادناس وعيوب يتنعمون في غرورهم صانعين ولائم معكم.
14 with their eyes always looking for adultery, people with an insatiable capacity for sinning, they wilseduce any but the most stable soul. Where greed is concerned they are at their peak of fitness. They are undera curse.	14 لهم عيون مملوءة فسقا لا تكف عن الخطية خادعون النفوس غير الثابتة. لهم قلب متدرب في الطمع. اولاد اللعنة.
15 They have left the right path and wandered off to fol ow the path of Balaam son of Bosor, who set hisheart on a dishonest reward, but soon had his fault pointed out to him:	15 قد تركوا الطريق المستقيم فضلّوا تابعين طريق بلعام بن بصور الذي احب اجرة الاثم.
16 a dumb beast of burden, speaking with a human voice, put a stop to the madness of the prophet.	16 ولكنه حصل على توبيخ تعديه اذ منع حماقة النبي حمار اعجم ناطقا بصوت انسان.
17 People like this are dried-up springs, fogs swirling in the wind, and the gloom of darkness is stored upfor them.	17 هؤلاء هم آبار بلا ماء غيوم يسوقها النوء. الذين قد حفظ لهم قتام الظلام الى الابد.
18 With their high-sounding but empty talk they tempt back people who have scarcely escaped fromthose who live in error, by playing on the disordered desires of their human nature and by debaucheries.	18 لانهم اذ ينطقون بعظائم البطل يخدعون بشهوات الجسد في الدعارة من هرب قليلا من الذين يسيرون في الضلال
19 They may promise freedom but are themselves slaves to corruption; because if anyone lets himself bedominated by anything, then he is a slave to it;	19 واعدين اياهم بالحرية وهم انفسهم عبيد الفساد. لان ما انغلب منه احد فهو له مستعبد ايضا.
20 and anyone who has escaped the pol ution of the world by coming to know our Lord and SaviourJesus Christ, and who then allows himself to be entangled and mastered by it a second time, ends up by beingworse than he was before.	20 لانه اذا كانوا بعدما هربوا من نجاسات العالم بمعرفة الرب والمخلّص يسوع المسيح يرتبكون ايضا فيها فينغلبون فقد صارت لهم الاواخر اشر من الاوائل.
21 It would have been better for them never to have learnt the way of uprightness, than to learn it andthen desert the holy commandment that was entrusted to them.	21 لانه كان خيرا لهم لو لم يعرفوا طريق البر من انهم بعدما عرفوا يرتدّون عن الوصية المقدسة المسلمة لهم.
22 What they have done is exactly as the proverb rightly says: The dog goes back to its vomit and: Assoon as the sow has been washed, it wal ows in the mud.	22 قد اصابهم ما في المثل الصادق كلب قد عاد الى قيئه وخنزيرة مغتسلة الى مراغة الحمأة
