Maori Bible
2 Otira i ara ake ano he poropiti teka i mua i roto i te iwi, he pera me nga kaiwhakaako teka e puta ake a mua i roto i a koutou; ma enei e mau puku mai nga titorehanga whakangaro, he whakakahore na ratou i te Ariki rawa, nana nei ratou i hoko, ka hohoro tonu ta ratou taki mai i te whakangaromanga ki a ratou ano.
2 A he tokomaha e aru i a ratou tikanga whakarihariha; ma reira e korerotia kinotia ai te ara o te pono.
3 He apo moni hoki e tito kupu ai ratou kia whai taonga ai ratou i a koutou: nonamata te tukunga mo ratou ki te he, e kore ano e whakaroa; kahore hoki he moe o to ratou whakangaromanga.
4 Mehemea kihai i tohungia e te Atua nga anahera i hara, engari i peia ratou e ia ki te po, he mea herehere i te waro pouri, he mea tiaki mo te whakawa;
5 A kihai i tohungia te ao tawhito, he mea tiaki ia nana a Noa, te kaikauwhau i te tika, ratou ko etahi atu tokowhitu, i tana kawenga mai i te waipuke ki te ao o te hunga karakiakore;
6 A meinga ana nga pa, a Horoma, a Komora, kia pungarehu rawa, ko tana whakataunga he he hurihanga, waiho iho hei tohu ki te hunga e noho karakiakore i nga wa i muri;
7 Ko Rota ia, ko te tangata tika, whakaorangia ake e ia, i a ia e whakapouritia ana e nga ritenga whakarihariha a te hunga kino;
8 I taua tangata tika e noho ana i roto i a ratou, mamae a na tona ngakau tika i a ratou mahi kino, i tana i kite ai, i tana i rongo ai i tenei ra, i tenei ra:
9 Matau tonu te Ariki ki te whakaora i te hunga karakia i roto i te whakamatautauranga, kia waiho ko te hunga he mo a te ra whakawa whiu ai;
10 Tera rawa ia tana mo te hunga e whai ana i ta te kikokiko, e haere ana i runga i te hiahia poke, e whakahawea ana ki te rangatiratanga; he hunga hikaka, e whai ana i ta ratou ake; kahore hoki e wehi ki te korero kino ki nga tangata nunui.
11 Tena ko nga anahera, ahakoa nui ake to ratou kaha, to ratou mana kahore e puaki i a ratou he kupu whakatoi mo era i te aroaro o te Atua ina whakawa.
12 Ko era hoki, rite tonu ratou ki te kararehe kahore nei he whakaaro, he mea maori anake, i hanga nei hei hopukanga, hei whakangaromanga, korero kino ana ratou ki nga mea kahore nei e mohiotia e ratou; a ka ngaro i runga i ta ratou tikanga whakama te;
13 Ka whiwhi ki te utu o te he; he tangata e ahuareka ana ki te kakai awatea, he ira ratou, he makenu, e ruku ana ki a ratou hakari ngahau i a ratou e hakari tahi ana me koutou;
14 Ko o ratou kanohi ki tonu i te puremu, kahore hoki e mutu to ratou hara; e poaina ana e ratou nga hinengaro kahore i u: he ngakau to ratou kua oti te whakamahi ki te apo; he tamariki kua oti te kanga:
15 Mahue ake i a ratou te ara tika, kotiti ke ana ratou, whai tonu ana i te ara o Paraama tama a Peoro, i whakapai nei ki te utu o te he;
16 Otira i riria ano ia mo tona he: i korero te kararehe reokore, no te tangata te reo, pehia ana e ia te wairangi o te poropiti.
17 He puna waikore enei tangata, he kapua e akina ana e te tupuhi; pouri kerekere te wahi kua rite mo ratou mo ake tonu atu.
18 E korero ana i nga korero tetere rawa, he mea teka noa, ka poaina e ratou ki nga hiahia o te kikokiko, ki nga hiahia taikaha, te hunga e mawhiti mai ana i era e noho ra i roto i te he.
19 He herekore ta ratou e whakaari nei ki a ratou, heoi he pononga ratou na te pirau: ki te taea hoki te tangata e te hoariri, hei pononga ia mana.
20 Ka mawhiti mai nei ratou i nga poke o te ao, i a ratou ka matau nei ki te Ariki, ara ki te Kaiwhakaora, ki a Ihu Karaiti, na ki te rorea ratou, i te hinga rawa i aua mea, kino noa atu to ratou whakamutunga i te timatanga.
21 he pai ke mo ratou me i kore e matau ki te ara o te tika, i te matau a hei muri ka tahuri ke atu i te ture tapu kua tukua nei ki a ratou.
22 Heoi te tukunga iho ki a ratou rite tonu ki ta te whakatauki pono, Kua hoki te kuri ki tona ruaki; me te poaka i horoi ra, kua okeoke ano i te paru.

False Teachers and Their Destruction
2 But there were also false prophets(A) among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.(B) They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord(C) who bought them(D)—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct(E) and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed(F) these teachers will exploit you(G) with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned,(H) but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[b] to be held for judgment;(I) 5 if he did not spare the ancient world(J) when he brought the flood on its ungodly people,(K) but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;(L) 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes,(M) and made them an example(N) of what is going to happen to the ungodly;(O) 7 and if he rescued Lot,(P) a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless(Q) 8 (for that righteous man,(R) living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials(S) and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.(T) 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(U) of the flesh[c] and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;(V) 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[d] the Lord.(W) 12 But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.(X)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(Y) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[e](Z) 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce(AA) the unstable;(AB) they are experts in greed(AC)—an accursed brood!(AD) 15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam(AE) son of Bezer,[f] who loved the wages of wickedness. 16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.(AF)
17 These people are springs without water(AG) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(AH) 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(AI) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(AJ) from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”(AK) 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing(AL) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ(AM) and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.(AN) 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.(AO) 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”[g](AP) and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
