Berean Standard Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
1從前在百姓中有假先知起來，將來在你們中間也必有假師傅，私自引進陷害人的異端，連買他們的主他們也不承認，自取速速地滅亡。
2Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed.
2將有許多人隨從他們邪淫的行為，便叫真道因他們的緣故被毀謗。
3In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep.
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；他們的滅亡也必速速來到。
4For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;
4就是天使犯了罪，上帝也沒有寬容，曾把他們丟在地獄，交在黑暗坑中，等候審判。
5if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight;
5上帝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 挪亞 一家八口。
6if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly;
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；
7and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
7只搭救了那常為惡人淫行憂傷的義人 羅得 。（
8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—
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。）
9if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
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。
10Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings.
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。
11Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
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。
12These men are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be captured and destroyed. They blaspheme in matters they do not understand, and like such creatures, they too will be destroyed.
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，正在敗壞人的時候，自己必遭遇敗壞。
13The harm they will suffer is the wages of their wickedness. They consider it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deception as they feast with you.
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。
14Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they seduce the unstable. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.
14他們滿眼是淫色，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。
15They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
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 ，
16But he was rebuked for his transgression by a donkey, otherwise without speech, that spoke with a man’s voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
16他卻為自己的過犯受了責備；那不能說話的驢以人言攔阻先知的狂妄。
17These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
17這些人是無水的井，是狂風催逼的霧氣，有墨黑的幽暗為他們存留。
18With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
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。
19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
19他們應許人得以自由，自己卻作敗壞的奴僕，因為人被誰制伏就是誰的奴僕。
20If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.
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。
21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.
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。
22Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”
22俗語說得真不錯： 狗所吐的，牠轉過來又吃； 豬洗淨了又回到泥裏去滾； 這話在他們身上正合式。
