彼得后书 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1从前在百姓中有假先知起来,将来在你们中间也必有假师傅,私自引进陷害人的异端,连买他们的主他们也不承认,自取速速地灭亡。
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.
2将有许多人随从他们邪淫的行为,便叫真道因他们的缘故被毁谤。
2Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed.
3他们因有贪心,要用捏造的言语在你们身上取利。他们的刑罚,自古以来并不迟延;他们的灭亡也必速速来到。
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.
4就是天使犯了罪, 神也没有宽容,曾把他们丢在地狱,交在黑暗坑中,等候审判。
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;
5神也没有宽容上古的世代,曾叫洪水临到那不敬虔的世代,却保护了传义道的 挪亚 一家八口。
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;
6又判定 所多玛 、 蛾摩拉 ,将二城倾覆,焚烧成灰,作为后世不敬虔人的鉴戒;
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;
7只搭救了那常为恶人淫行忧伤的义人 罗得 。(
7and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
8因为那义人住在他们中间,看见听见他们不法的事,他的义心就天天伤痛。)
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)—
9主知道搭救敬虔的人脱离试探,把不义的人留在刑罚之下,等候审判的日子。
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.
10那些随肉身、纵污秽的情欲、轻慢主治之人的,更是如此。 他们胆大任性,毁谤在尊位的,也不知惧怕。
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.
11就是天使,虽然力量权能更大,还不用毁谤的话在主面前告他们。
11Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
12但这些人好像没有灵性,生来就是畜类,以备捉拿宰杀的。他们毁谤所不晓得的事,正在败坏人的时候,自己必遭遇败坏。
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.
13行的不义,就得了不义的工价。这些人喜爱白昼宴乐,他们已被玷污,又有瑕疵,正与你们一同坐席,就以自己的诡诈为快乐。
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.
14他们满眼是淫色,止不住犯罪,引诱那心不坚固的人,心中习惯了贪婪,正是被咒诅的种类。
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.
15他们离弃正路,就走差了,随从 比珥 之子 巴兰 的路。 巴兰 就是那贪爱不义之工价的 先知 ,
15They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
16他却为自己的过犯受了责备;那不能说话的驴以人言拦阻先知的狂妄。
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.
17这些人是无水的井,是狂风催逼的雾气,有墨黑的幽暗为他们存留。
17These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
18他们说虚妄矜夸的大话,用肉身的情欲和邪淫的事引诱那些刚才脱离妄行的人。
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.
19他们应许人得以自由,自己却作败坏的奴仆,因为人被谁制伏就是谁的奴仆。
19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
20倘若他们因认识主—救主耶稣基督,得以脱离世上的污秽,后来又在其中被缠住、制伏,他们末后的景况就比先前更不好了。
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.
21他们晓得义路,竟背弃了传给他们的圣命,倒不如不晓得为妙。
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.
22俗语说得真不错: 狗所吐的,它转过来又吃; 猪洗净了又回到泥里去滚; 这话在他们身上正合式。
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.”
