2 Pedro 2
Bíblia Livre
1E também houve falsos profetas entre o povo, assim como também haverá falsos instrutores entre vós, que disfarçadamente introduzirão heresias de perdição, e negarão ao Senhor que os comprou, trazendo sobre eles mesmos repentina destruição.
2Muitos seguirão suas perdições, e por meio deles o caminho da verdade será insultado.
3E por ganância, eles vos farão de mercadoria com palavras falsamente inventadas; sobre os quais desde muito tempo não está a condenação sem efeito, e sua perdição não cochila.
4Porque se Deus não perdoou aos anjos que pecaram, em vez disso lançando-os no inferno, entregou-os às cadeias da escuridão, tendo sido reservados para o julgamento;
5Nem perdoou ao mundo antigo, mas guardou a Noé, anunciador da justiça, com outros sete, trazendo o dilúvio sobre o mundo dos ímpios;
6E condenou as cidades de Sodoma e Gomorra à destruição, reduzindo-as a cinza, e pondo-as como exemplo para os que vivessem impiamente;
7E livrou ao justo Ló, que estava cansado do corrupto modo de viver dos maus.
8(Porque, enquanto aquele justo habitava entre eles, todo dia ele atormentava sua justa alma, ao ver e ouvir as suas injustas obras).
9Assim o Senhor sabe livrar os devotos das tentações, e reservar aos injustos para o dia do julgamento, para serem punidos.
10Porém principalmente aos que segundo a carne andam em mau desejo de impureza, e desprezam as autoridades; atrevidos, agradando a si mesmos, não tendo medo de insultar as coisas dignas de glórias.
11Ainda que até os anjos, sendo maiores em força e poder, não trazem juízo insultuoso contra elas diante do Senhor.
12Mas estes, como animais irracionais, que seguem a natureza, gerados para a prisão e destruição, insultando aquilo que não entendem, perecerão na sua própria corrupção;
13recebendo o pagamento da injustiça, tendo como prazer seus maus desejos durante o dia, sendo manchas e defeitos, tendo prazer em seus enganos, participando do banquete convosco;
14tendo os olhos cheios de adultério, e nunca parando de pecar; iludindo as almas inconstantes, tendo o coração exercitado na ganância, filhos da maldição;
15os quais, havendo deixado o caminho direito, desviaram-se, seguindo o caminho de Balaão, filho de Bosor, que amou o pagamento da injustiça.
16Mas ele teve a repreensão de sua transgressão; o mudo animal de jugo, falando em voz humana, impediu a loucura do profeta.
17Estes são fontes sem água, nuvens levadas pela tempestade; para os quais a escuridão das trevas está reservada para sempre.
18Porque ao falarem coisas muito arrogantes de vaidade, iludem com os maus desejos da carne, e com perversões, aqueles que já tinham realmente escapado dos que andam no erro.
19Prometendo-lhes liberdade, mas sendo eles mesmos servos da corrupção; porque aquele de quem alguém é vencido, do tal também se faz servo.
20Porque se, por causa do conhecimento do Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo, tiverem escapado das imundícies do mundo, e novamente se envolverem nelas, e forem vencidos, o fim será pior que o começo.
21Porque melhor teria lhes sido se não tivessem conhecido o caminho da justiça do que, depois de conhecerem, terem se desviado do santo mandamento que havia lhes sido entregue.
22Mas isto lhes sobreveio conforme um verdadeiro provérbio, que diz : O cão voltou ao seu próprio vômito; e a porca lavada voltou ao chiqueiro da lama.
Reina-Valera 1909
1PERO hubo también falsos profetas en el pueblo, como habrá entre vosotros falsos doctores, que introducirán encubiertamente herejías de perdición, y negarán al Señor que los rescató, atrayendo sobre sí mismos perdición acelerada.
2Y muchos seguirán sus disoluciones, por los cuales el camino de la verdad será blasfemado;
3Y por avaricia harán mercadería de vosotros con palabras fingidas; sobre los cuales la condenación ya de largo tiempo no se tarda, y su perdición no se duerme.
4Porque si Dios no perdonó á los ángeles que habían pecado, sino que habiéndolos despeñado en el infierno con cadenas de oscuridad, los entregó para ser reservados al juicio;
5Y si no perdonó al mundo viejo, mas guardó á Noé, pregonero de justicia, con otras siete personas, trayendo el diluvio sobre el mundo de malvados;
6Y si condenó por destrucción las ciudades de Sodoma y de Gomorra, tornándolas en ceniza, y poniéndolas por ejemplo á los que habían de vivir sin temor y reverencia de Dios;
7Y libró al justo Lot, acosado por la nefanda conducta de los malvados;
8(Porque este justo, con ver y oir, morando entre ellos, afligía cada día su alma justa con los hechos de aquellos injustos;)
9Sabe el Señor librar de tentación á los píos, y reservar á los injustos para ser atormentados en el día del juicio;
10Y principalmente á aquellos que, siguiendo la carne, andan en concupiscencia é inmundicia, y desprecian la potestad; atrevidos, contumaces, que no temen decir mal de las potestades superiores:
11Como quiera que los mismos ángeles, que son mayores en fuerza y en potencia, no pronuncian juicio de maldición contra ellas delante del Señor.
12Mas éstos, diciendo mal de las cosas que no entienden, como bestias brutas, que naturalmente son hechas para presa y destrucción, perecerán en su perdición,
13Recibiendo el galardón de su injusticia, ya que reputan por delicia poder gozar de deleites cada día. Estos son suciedades y manchas, los cuales comiendo con vosotros, juntamente se recrean en sus errores;
14Teniendo los ojos llenos de adulterio, y no saben cesar de pecar; cebando las almas inconstantes; teniendo el corazón ejercitado en codicias, siendo hijos de maldición;
15Que han dejado el camino derecho, y se han extraviado, siguiendo el camino de Balaam, hijo de Bosor, el cual amó el premio de la maldad.
16Y fué reprendido por su iniquidad: una muda bestia de carga, hablando en voz de hombre, refrenó la locura del profeta.
17Estos son fuentes sin agua, y nubes traídas de torbellino de viento: para los cuales está guardada la oscuridad de las tinieblas para siempre.
18Porque hablando arrogantes palabras de vanidad, ceban con las concupiscencias de la carne en disoluciones á los que verdaderamente habían huído de los que conversan en error;
19Prometiéndoles libertad, siendo ellos mismos siervos de corrupción. Porque el que es de alguno vencido, es sujeto á la servidumbre del que lo venció.
20Ciertamente, si habiéndose ellos apartado de las contaminaciones del mundo, por el conocimiento del Señor y Salvador Jesucristo, y otra vez envolviéndose en ellas, son vencidos, sus postrimerías les son hechas peores que los principios.
21Porque mejor les hubiera sido no haber conocido el camino de la justicia, que después de haberlo conocido, tornarse atrás del santo mandamiento que les fué dado.
22Pero les ha acontecido lo del verdadero proverbio: El perro se volvió á su vómito, y la puerca lavada á revolcarse en el cieno.
King James Version
1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
12But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
World English Bible
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 in an ungodly way,
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),
9then the 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 slanderous 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, accursed children!
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 speechless 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.”
