1Maar daar was ook valse profete onder die volk, soos daar ook onder julle valse leraars sal wees, wat verderflike dwaalleringe heimlik sal inbring, terwyl hulle selfs die Meester wat hulle gekoop het, verloën en 'n spoedige ondergang oor hulleself bring.

Letterlik: sektes van ondergang.

Ἐγένοντο δὲ καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐν τῷ λαῷ, ὡς καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν ἔσονται ψευδοδιδάσκαλοι, οἵτινες παρεισάξουσιν αἱρέσεις ἀπωλείας, καὶ τὸν ἀγοράσαντα αὐτοὺς δεσπότην ἀρνούμενοι, ἐπάγοντες ἑαυτοῖς ταχινὴν ἀπώλειαν·Now 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. 2En baie sal hulle losbandighede navolg, en vanweë hulle sal die weg van die waarheid gelaster word.καὶ πολλοὶ ἐξακολουθήσουσιν αὐτῶν ταῖς ἀσελγείαις, διʼ οὓς ἡ ὁδὸς τῆς ἀληθείας βλασφημηθήσεται·Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed. 3En in hebsug sal hulle met versinde woorde met julle handel dryf. Vir hulle talm die oordeel van lank gelede nie, en hulle verderf slaap nie.καὶ ἐν πλεονεξίᾳ πλαστοῖς λόγοις ὑμᾶς ἐμπορεύσονται· οἷς τὸ κρίμα ἔκπαλαι οὐκ ἀργεῖ, καὶ ἡ ἀπώλεια αὐτῶν οὐ ⸀νυστάζει.In 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.

4Want as God die engele wat gesondig het, nie gespaar het nie, maar hulle met kettings van donkerheid in die Tartarus gewerp en oorgegee het om vir die oordeel bewaar te word,

Sommige manuskripte lees: in kuile van donkerheid.

Εἰ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς ἀγγέλων ἁμαρτησάντων οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ⸀σειραῖς ζόφου ταρταρώσας παρέδωκεν εἰς κρίσιν τηρουμένους,For 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; 5en die antieke wêreld nie gespaar het nie, maar Noag, die agtste, ’n prediker van geregtigheid, bewaar het toe Hy ’n sondvloed oor die wêreld van goddelose mense gebring het,

Of: Noag saam met sewe ander.

καὶ ἀρχαίου κόσμου οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ὄγδοον Νῶε δικαιοσύνης κήρυκα ἐφύλαξεν, κατακλυσμὸν κόσμῳ ἀσεβῶν ἐπάξας,if 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; 6en die stede Sodom en Gomorra tot as verbrand en tot verwoesting veroordeel het, en hulle gestel het as 'n voorbeeld van wat oor goddeloses gaan kom,

Sommige manuskripte lees: as 'n voorbeeld gestel het vir dié wat goddeloos sou lewe.

καὶ πόλεις Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόρρας τεφρώσας ⸀καταστροφῇ κατέκρινεν, ὑπόδειγμα μελλόντων ⸀ἀσεβέσιν τεθεικώς,if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly; 7en die regverdige Lot, wat gekwel is deur die losbandige lewenswandel van bandelose mense, gered het—καὶ δίκαιον Λὼτ καταπονούμενον ὑπὸ τῆς τῶν ἀθέσμων ἐν ἀσελγείᾳ ἀναστροφῆς ἐρρύσατο—and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8want deur wat hy gesien en gehoor het, het daardie regverdige, terwyl hy onder hulle gewoon het, dag na dag sy regverdige siel oor hulle wettelose dade gepynig—

Letterlik: deur sien en hoor.

βλέμματι γὰρ καὶ ἀκοῇ ⸀ὁ δίκαιος ἐγκατοικῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας ψυχὴν δικαίαν ἀνόμοις ἔργοις ἐβασάνιζεν—(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9dan weet die Here hoe om godvrugtiges uit beproewing te red, maar onregverdiges onder straf te hou vir die dag van oordeel,

Of: versoeking.

Of: te bewaar om op die dag van oordeel gestraf te word.

οἶδεν κύριος εὐσεβεῖς ἐκ πειρασμοῦ ῥύεσθαι, ἀδίκους δὲ εἰς ἡμέραν κρίσεως κολαζομένους τηρεῖν,if 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. 10veral dié wat die vlees agterna loop in die begeerte na bevlekking en heerskappy verag. Vermetel, eiewys, bewe hulle nie voor heerlikhede nie, terwyl hulle lasteer,μάλιστα δὲ τοὺς ὀπίσω σαρκὸς ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ μιασμοῦ πορευομένους καὶ κυριότητος καταφρονοῦντας. Τολμηταί, αὐθάδεις, δόξας οὐ τρέμουσιν, βλασφημοῦντες,Such 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. 11terwyl engele, wat groter in sterkte en krag is, nie 'n lasterlike oordeel teen hulle inbring nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: nie 'n lasterlike oordeel teen hulle by die Here inbring nie.

ὅπου ἄγγελοι ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει μείζονες ὄντες οὐ φέρουσιν κατʼ ⸀αὐτῶν βλάσφημον κρίσιν.Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord. 12Maar hierdie mense, soos redelose diere wat van nature gebore is om gevang en vernietig te word, lasteer in dinge waarvan hulle onkundig is, en in hulle verderf sal hulle ook verderf word,οὗτοι δέ, ὡς ἄλογα ζῷα ⸂γεγεννημένα φυσικὰ⸃ εἰς ἅλωσιν καὶ φθοράν, ἐν οἷς ἀγνοοῦσιν βλασφημοῦντες, ἐν τῇ φθορᾷ αὐτῶν ⸂καὶ φθαρήσονται⸃,These 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. 13wat onreg ly as die loon van ongeregtigheid. Hulle ag die weelde bedags ’n genot; vlekke en skandvlekke is hulle, wat swelg in hulle bedrogspele terwyl hulle saam met julle feesvier,

Sommige manuskripte lees: wat die loon van ongeregtigheid sal ontvang.

Sommige manuskripte lees: liefdesmale.

⸀ἀδικούμενοι μισθὸν ἀδικίας· ἡδονὴν ἡγούμενοι τὴν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τρυφήν, σπίλοι καὶ μῶμοι ἐντρυφῶντες ἐν ταῖς ⸀ἀπάταις αὐτῶν συνευωχούμενοι ὑμῖν,The 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. 14Hulle het oë vol van ’n owerspelige vrou, wat nie ophou met sonde nie; hulle lok onvaste siele; hulle het ’n hart wat geoefen is in hebsug; kinders van die vloek.ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες μεστοὺς μοιχαλίδος καὶ ⸀ἀκαταπαύστους ἁμαρτίας, δελεάζοντες ψυχὰς ἀστηρίκτους, καρδίαν γεγυμνασμένην πλεονεξίας ἔχοντες, κατάρας τέκνα,Their 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. 15Nadat hulle die reguit weg verlaat het, het hulle verdwaal deur die weg van Bileam, seun van Bosor, te volg, wat die loon van ongeregtigheid liefgehad het,

Sommige manuskripte lees: Beor.

⸀καταλιπόντες εὐθεῖαν ὁδὸν ἐπλανήθησαν, ἐξακολουθήσαντες τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ Βαλαὰμ τοῦ ⸀Βοσὸρ ὃς μισθὸν ἀδικίας ἠγάπησενThey have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness. 16maar hy het 'n teregwysing vir sy eie oortreding ontvang: 'n stom lasdier het met 'n mens se stem gepraat en die waansin van die profeet verhinder.ἔλεγξιν δὲ ἔσχεν ἰδίας παρανομίας· ὑποζύγιον ἄφωνον ἐν ἀνθρώπου φωνῇ φθεγξάμενον ἐκώλυσεν τὴν τοῦ προφήτου παραφρονίαν.But 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.

17Hierdie mense is fonteine sonder water en newels wat deur 'n stormwind voortgedryf word; vir hulle is die donkerheid van die duisternis bewaar.

Sommige manuskripte lees: wolke wat deur 'n stormwind voortgedryf word.

Sommige manuskripte lees: is die donkerheid van die duisternis vir ewig bewaar.

Οὗτοί εἰσιν πηγαὶ ἄνυδροι ⸂καὶ ὁμίχλαι⸃ ὑπὸ λαίλαπος ἐλαυνόμεναι, οἷς ὁ ζόφος τοῦ ⸀σκότους τετήρηται.These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18Want deur opgeblase woorde van ydelheid te spreek, lok hulle met begeertes van die vlees, met uitspattighede, dié wat pas besig is om te ontvlug van hulle wat in dwaling lewe,

Sommige manuskripte lees: werklik.

ὑπέρογκα γὰρ ματαιότητος φθεγγόμενοι δελεάζουσιν ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις σαρκὸς ἀσελγείαις τοὺς ⸀ὀλίγως ⸀ἀποφεύγοντας τοὺς ἐν πλάνῃ ἀναστρεφομένους,With 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. 19terwyl hulle aan hulle vryheid beloof, al is hulle self slawe van die verderf; want waardeur iemand oorwin is, daaraan is hy ook verslaaf.ἐλευθερίαν αὐτοῖς ἐπαγγελλόμενοι, αὐτοὶ δοῦλοι ὑπάρχοντες τῆς φθορᾶς· ᾧ γάρ τις ἥττηται, τούτῳ ⸀καὶ δεδούλωται.They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. 20Want as hulle die besoedelinge van die wêreld ontvlug het deur die kennis van die Here en Redder Jesus Christus, maar weer daarin verstrik raak en oorwin word, dan het die laaste vir hulle erger geword as die eerste.

Sommige manuskripte lees: ons Here en Redder.

εἰ γὰρ ἀποφυγόντες τὰ μιάσματα τοῦ κόσμου ἐν ἐπιγνώσει τοῦ ⸀κυρίου καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τούτοις δὲ πάλιν ἐμπλακέντες ἡττῶνται, γέγονεν αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔσχατα χείρονα τῶν πρώτων.If 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. 21Want dit sou beter vir hulle gewees het om die weg van die geregtigheid nie te leer ken het nie as om, nadat hulle dit leer ken het, om te draai weg van die heilige gebod wat aan hulle oorgelewer is.κρεῖττον γὰρ ἦν αὐτοῖς μὴ ἐπεγνωκέναι τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς δικαιοσύνης ἢ ἐπιγνοῦσιν ⸀ὑποστρέψαι ἐκ τῆς παραδοθείσης αὐτοῖς ἁγίας ἐντολῆς·It 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. 22Met hulle het gebeur wat die ware spreekwoord sê: “’n Hond wat teruggekeer het na sy eie uitbraaksel,” en: “’n Sog wat gewas is, na ’n rol in modder.”

Aanhaling uit Spreuke 26:11.

⸀συμβέβηκεν αὐτοῖς τὸ τῆς ἀληθοῦς παροιμίας· Κύων ἐπιστρέψας ἐπὶ τὸ ἴδιον ἐξέραμα, καί· Ὗς λουσαμένη εἰς ⸀κυλισμὸν βορβόρου.Of 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.”
