| [1]BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the LORD who has redeemed them, and thus bringing upon themselves swift destruction. |
[1]εγενοντο δε και ψευδοπροφηται εν τω λαω ως και εν υμιν εσονται ψευδοδιδασκαλοι οιτινες παρεισαξουσιν αιρεσεις απωλειας και τον αγορασαντα αυτους δεσποτην αρνουμενοι επαγοντες εαυτοις ταχινην απωλειαν |
| [2]Many will follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. |
[2]και πολλοι εξακολουθησουσιν αυτων ταις ασελγειαις δι ους η οδος της αληθειας βλασφημηθησεται |
| [3]And through covetousness, they will exploit you with feigned words: whose judgment from the very beginning has not ceased and their damnation is always active. |
[3]και εν πλεονεξια πλαστοις λογοις υμας εμπορευσονται οις το κριμα εκπαλαι ουκ αργει και η απωλεια αυτων ου νυσταζει |
| [4]God did not spare the angels, who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for tormenting judgment; |
[4]ει γαρ ο θεος αγγελων αμαρτησαντων ουκ εφεισατο αλλα σειροις σειραις ζοφου ταρταρωσας παρεδωκεν εις κρισιν τηρουμενους |
| [5]And did not spare the old world, but saved Noah the preacher of righteousness, with his family, eight in all, when he brought the flood upon the wicked people; |
[5]και αρχαιου κοσμου ουκ εφεισατο αλλα ογδοον νωε δικαιοσυνης κηρυκα εφυλαξεν κατακλυσμον κοσμω ασεβων επαξας |
| [6]And set afire the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them with an upheaval, making them an example to those who hereafter should live ungodly; |
[6]και πολεις σοδομων και γομορρας τεφρωσας [καταστροφη] κατεκρινεν υποδειγμα μελλοντων ασεβεσιν <ασεβεσιν> τεθεικως |
| [7]And delivered righteous Lot, mortified by the filthy conduct of the lawless: |
[7]και δικαιον λωτ καταπονουμενον υπο της των αθεσμων εν ασελγεια αναστροφης ερρυσατο |
| [8]For while that pious man dwelt among them, in seeing and hearing their unlawful deeds, his righteous soul was vexed from day to day. |
[8]βλεμματι γαρ και ακοη ο δικαιος εγκατοικων εν αυτοις ημεραν εξ ημερας ψυχην δικαιαν ανομοις εργοις εβασανιζεν |
| [9]The LORD knows how to deliver from distress those who revere him, and he will reserve the wicked to be punished at the judgment day. |
[9]οιδεν κυριος ευσεβεις εκ πειρασμου ρυεσθαι αδικους δε εις ημεραν κρισεως κολαζομενους τηρειν |
| [10]And especially will he punish those who follow after filthy lusts of the flesh, and have no respect for authority. Arrogant and selfwilled are they who do not tremble when they blaspheme against the glory; |
[10]μαλιστα δε τους οπισω σαρκος εν επιθυμια μιασμου πορευομενους και κυριοτητος καταφρονουντας τολμηται αυθαδεις δοξας ου τρεμουσιν βλασφημουντες |
| [11]Whereas angels who are greater in power and might do not bring upon themselves the condemnation of blasphemy. |
[11]οπου αγγελοι ισχυι και δυναμει μειζονες οντες ου φερουσιν κατ αυτων [παρα κυριω] παρα κυριου βλασφημον κρισιν |
| [12]But these men, as natural brute beasts, made for slaughter and destruction, speak evil of the things which they do not understand; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; |
[12]ουτοι δε ως αλογα ζωα γεγεννημενα φυσικα εις αλωσιν και φθοραν εν οις αγνοουσιν βλασφημουντες εν τη φθορα αυτων και φθαρησονται |
| [13]And shall receive the reward of iniquity as they consider it a delightful thing to revel in the daytime. Spots and blemishes have they who sport themselves with their own deceivings as they feast in idleness; |
[13]αδικουμενοι μισθον αδικιας ηδονην ηγουμενοι την εν ημερα τρυφην σπιλοι και μωμοι εντρυφωντες εν ταις απαταις αυτων συνευωχουμενοι υμιν |
| [14]And have eyes full of adultery, and of sin that does not cease: beguiling, unstable souls are they whose hearts are well versed in covetousness: accursed sons are they. |
[14]οφθαλμους εχοντες μεστους μοιχαλιδος και ακαταπαστους ακαταπαυστους αμαρτιας δελεαζοντες ψυχας αστηρικτους καρδιαν γεγυμνασμενην πλεονεξιας εχοντες καταρας τεκνα |
| [15]Who have forsaken the right way and are gone astray, following the way of Ba'laam, the son of Be-or, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; |
[15]καταλειποντες ευθειαν οδον επλανηθησαν εξακολουθησαντες τη οδω του βαλααμ του βεωρ βοσορ ος μισθον αδικιας ηγαπησεν |
| [16]But who was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, halted the folly of the prophet. |
[16]ελεγξιν δε εσχεν ιδιας παρανομιας υποζυγιον αφωνον εν ανθρωπου φωνη φθεγξαμενον εκωλυσεν την του προφητου παραφρονιαν |
| [17]These men are springs without water, as clouds that are carried with a tempest; the mist of darkness is reserved to them forever. |
[17]ουτοι εισιν πηγαι ανυδροι και ομιχλαι υπο λαιλαπος ελαυνομεναι οις ο ζοφος του σκοτους τετηρηται |
| [18]For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the sensual lusts of the flesh; but there are those who flee at a word of warning from those who live in error. |
[18]υπερογκα γαρ ματαιοτητος φθεγγομενοι δελεαζουσιν εν επιθυμιαις σαρκος ασελγειαις τους ολιγως αποφευγοντας τους εν πλανη αναστρεφομενους |
| [19]They, while they promise liberty, themselves are the slaves of corruption: for a man is overcome by whatever it is that enslaves him. |
[19]ελευθεριαν αυτοις επαγγελλομενοι αυτοι δουλοι υπαρχοντες της φθορας ω γαρ τις ηττηται τουτω δεδουλωται |
| [20]For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through knowledge of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled by these very things, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. |
[20]ει γαρ αποφυγοντες τα μιασματα του κοσμου εν επιγνωσει του κυριου [ημων] και σωτηρος ιησου χριστου τουτοις δε παλιν εμπλακεντες ηττωνται γεγονεν αυτοις τα εσχατα χειρονα των πρωτων |
| [21]Verily it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment that was delivered to them. |
[21]κρειττον γαρ ην αυτοις μη επεγνωκεναι την οδον της δικαιοσυνης η επιγνουσιν υποστρεψαι εκ της παραδοθεισης αυτοις αγιας εντολης |
| [22]It will come to pass with them according to the true proverb, The dog returns to his own vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. |
[22]συμβεβηκεν αυτοις το της αληθους παροιμιας κυων επιστρεψας επι το ιδιον εξεραμα και υς λουσαμενη εις κυλισμον βορβορου |
