2:1
|
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,自取速速的灭亡。
|
|
But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
|
2:2
|
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。
|
|
And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of.
|
2:3
|
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(原文作不打盹)。
|
|
And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
|
2:4
|
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。
|
|
For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
|
2:5
|
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。
|
|
and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
|
2:6
|
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;
|
|
and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly;
|
2:7
|
只搭救了那常为恶人淫行忧伤的义人罗得。
|
|
and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked
|
2:8
|
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。
|
|
(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] lawless deeds):
|
2:9
|
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。
|
|
the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;
|
2:10
|
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。
|
|
but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:
|
2:11
|
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。
|
|
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
|
2:12
|
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。
|
|
But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,
|
2:13
|
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。
|
|
suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; [men] that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceivings while they feast with you;
|
2:14
|
他们满眼是淫色(原文作淫妇),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。
|
|
having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;
|
2:15
|
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,
|
|
forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the [son] of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing;
|
2:16
|
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。
|
|
but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man`s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.
|
2:17
|
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。
|
|
These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved.
|
2:18
|
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。
|
|
For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;
|
2:19
|
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。
|
|
promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.
|
2:20
|
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。
|
|
For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.
|
2:21
|
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。
|
|
For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
|
2:22
|
俗语说得真不错:狗所吐的,他转过来又吃;猪洗净了又回到泥里去辊;这话在他们身上正合式。
|
|
It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.
