Petero II. 2
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1HE poe kaula wahahee kekahi mamua iwaena o na kanaka, pela no e hiki mai auanei kekahi poe kumu wahahee iwaena o oukou, ua lakou no e hoike malu mai i na manao ku e, e make ai, e hoole ana i ka Haku nana lakou i kuai mai, a e hooili ana i ka make koke maluna o lakou iho.
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.
2E nui loa no hoi ka poe hahai mamuli o ko lakou aoao hewa; a no lakou o olelo hoinoia'i ka aoao oiaio.
2Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed.
3A no ka puniwaiwai, e kuai no lakou ia oukou, me ka olelo wahahee; aole hoi e hookaulua loa ko lakou hoohewaia, aole e hiamoe ko lakou make.
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.
4No ka mea, ina aole i aloha mai ke Akua i na anela i hewa, aka, kiola no ia lakou ilalo i ka po, me ka paa i na kaula o ka pouli, i malamaia'i no ka hoahewaia;
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;
5Aole hoi i aloha mai i kela ao kahiko, o Noa wale no kana i hoola ae, o ka walu no ia, he mea hoike ma ka pono, a hoouhi mai i ke kaiakahinalii maluna o kela ao o ka poe aia;
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;
6A puhi aku no hoi i na kulanakauhale o Sodoma a me Gomora a lehu, me ka hoohewa e make mainoino, e hoolilo ana ia lakou i hoailona e ao ai i ka poe aia ma ia hope;
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;
7Ua hoopakele no hoi ia Lota i ke kanaka pono, i uluhua i ka poe aia e noho makaleho ana;
7and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
8(No ka mea, o ua kanaka pono la, i kona noho pu ana me lakou, hoehaeha oia i kona naau pono i kela la i keia la, i ka ike ana, a i ka lohe ana i ka lakou hana hewa ana;)
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)—
9Ua ike no ka Haku e hoopakele ae i ka poe haipule mai ka hoowalewaleia ae, a e hoana e hoi i ka poe hewa, no ka la hookolokolo i hoopaiia mai lakou.
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.
10O lakou mua, o ka poe hahai mamuli o ke kino, ma ke kuko i na mea haumia. me ka hoowahawaha i na'lii. He poe haanou wale lakou, a hoopaa, aole makau i ka olelo ino i na'lii.
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.
11Aka, o na anela, o ka poe oi aku ka ikaika, a me ka mana, aole lakou i hoike ae imua o ka Haku i ka manao hoohewa ia lakou.
11Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
12Aka, o keia poe, e Mike me na holoholona maoli, i hanaia i mea e hopuia'i e pepehiia, pela lakou e olelo iho nei i na mea a lakou i hoomaopopo ole ai; a e make hoi lakou iloko o ko lakou hewa iho:
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.
13E ukuia hoi lakou i ka uku o ka hewa; no ka mea, ua manao lakou he mea lealea ke hoohaunaele i ke ao; he palahea lakou, a he kikohukohu, ua olioli lakou i ko lakou wahahee ana, i ka lakou ahaaina pu ana me oukou.
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.
14Ua niua na maka i na wahine moe kolohe, aole hiki ke hooki i ka hewa, e kumakaia ana i na uhane ku kapekepeke; ua maa loa ko lakou naau i ka puni waiwai; he poe keiki i ahewaia.
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.
15Ua haalele lakou i ko ala o ka pono ua hele hewa me ka hahai aku ma ka aoao o Balaama a Bosora, ka mea i makemake i ka uku o ka hewa;
15They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
16Aka, ua aoia mai oia no kona hewa; na ka hoki leo ole i olelo mai me ka leo kanaka, a papa mai la i ka pupule o ua kaula la.
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.
17He poe punawai wai ole lakou, he poe ao lakou i lele ino i ka makani; no lakou i malamaia'i ka poeleele o ka pouli mau loa.
17These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
18No ka mea, i ko lakou haanui ana ma ka mea lapuwale, ke hoowalewale nei lakou iloko o ke kuko o ke kino a me ka makaleho wale, i na mea i haalele aku i ka poe e noho ana ma ka hewa.
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.
19Hai mai la lakou, he luhi ole ia no lakou la, aka, e luhi ana lakou iho malalo o ka hewa; no ka mea, ma ka mea i pio ai kekahi, ua hooluhiia oia malaila.
19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
20No ka mea, ina lakou i haalele i ka paumaele o ke ao nei, no ka ike ana i ka Haku a me ka Hoola, o Iesu Kristo, a mahope iho, hihia hou, a lilo ilaila, ua oi aku ka ino o ko lakou hope, i ko ka mua.
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.
21Ina ua ike ole lakou i ka aoao o ka pono, e aho no ia, mamua o ko lakou ike ana, a mahope iho haalele i ka olelo hemolele i haawiia mai na lakou.
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.
22Aka, ua hookoia ia lakou ka olelo oiaio, Ua hoi hou ka ilio i kona luai iho, a me ka puaa hoi i holoiia, i kona haluku ana iloko o ke kiolepo.
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.”
