False Prophets and Teachers
1 Sometimes false prophets spoke to the people of Israel. False teachers will also sneak in and speak harmful lies to you. But these teachers don't really belong to the Master who paid a great price for them, and they will quickly destroy themselves. 2 Many people will follow their evil ways and cause others to tell lies about the true way. 3 They will be greedy and cheat you with smooth talk. But long ago God decided to punish them, and God doesn't sleep.
4 God did not have pity on the angels that sinned. He had them tied up and thrown into the dark pits of hell until the time of judgment. 5 And during Noah's time, God did not have pity on the ungodly people of the world. He destroyed them with a flood, though he did save eight people, including Noah, who preached the truth.
6 God punished the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and this is a warning to anyone else who wants to sin.
7-8 Lot lived right and was greatly troubled by the terrible way those wicked people were living. He was a good man, and day after day he suffered because of the evil things he saw and heard. So the Lord rescued him. 9 This shows that the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their sufferings and to punish evil people while they wait for the day of judgment.
10 The Lord is especially hard on people who disobey him and don't think of anything except their own filthy desires. They are reckless and proud and are not afraid of cursing the glorious beings in heaven. 11 Although angels are more powerful than these evil beings, even the angels don't dare to accuse them to the Lord.
12 These people are no better than senseless animals that live by their feelings and are born to be caught and killed. They speak evil of things they don't know anything about. But their own corrupt deeds will destroy them. 13 They have done evil, and they will be rewarded with evil.
They think it is fun to have wild parties during the day. They are immoral, and the meals they eat with you are spoiled by the shameful and selfish way they carry on. 14 All they think about is having sex with someone else's husband or wife. There is no end to their wicked deeds. They trick people who are easily fooled, and their minds are filled with greedy thoughts. But they are headed for trouble!
15 They have left the true road and have gone down the wrong path by following the example of the prophet Balaam. He was the son of Beor and loved what he got from being a crook. 16 But a donkey corrected him for this evil deed. It spoke to him with a human voice and made him stop his foolishness.
17 These people are like dried up water holes and clouds blown by a windstorm. The darkest part of hell is waiting for them. 18 They brag out loud about their stupid nonsense. And by being vulgar and crude, they trap people who have barely escaped from living the wrong kind of life. 19 They promise freedom to everyone. But they are merely slaves of filthy living, because people are slaves of whatever controls them.
20 When they learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they escaped from the filthy things of this world. But they are again caught up and controlled by these filthy things, and now they are in worse shape than they were at first. 21 They would have been better off if they had never known about the right way. Even after they knew what was right, they turned their backs on the holy commandments they were given. 22 What happened to them is just like the true saying,
“A dog will come back
to lick up its own vomit.
A pig that has been washed
will roll in the mud.”

Breidynōjums pret moldu mōceitōjim.
1 Kai tautā beja vyltus pravīši, tai storp jums vyltus mōceitōji. Jī izplateis iznīceigas mōceibas un aizalīgs Kunga, kas jūs atpērka un poši sev sagatavōs ōtru iznīceibu. 2 Daudzejī jūs palaidneibom sekōs un jūs dēļ saimōs patīseibas ceļu. 3 Montkōreibas piļni jī izmontōs jyusus ar viļteigom runom. Bet jau sen ir sagatavōta dēļ jim tīsa un jūs iznycynōšona nasnauž. 4 Dīvs naapžālōja pat engeļu, kuri beja sagrākōjuši, bet nūgryude jūs tymsajūs eļnes bezdibiņūs, kur jī tiks uzglobōti tīsai.
5 Arī vacō pasauļa Jys nataupeja, un izglōbe tikai Noesu, taisneibas vēstnesi reizē ar citim septenim tad, kad Jys bezdīveigūs pasaulī lyka īsalaust yudiņa plyudim. 6 Jys nūtīsōja uz iznīceibu Sodomas un Gomoras mīstus un palnus nūlyka kai atbaidūšū pīmāru tam, kas sagaida bezdīveigūs. 7 Jys izglōbe tikai taisneigū Lotu, kuram nu bezdīveigūs dzeives daudz vajadzēja cīst. 8 Un šytam taisneigajam storp jim dzeivojūt vajadzēja dzērdēt un skateitīs uz jūs bezdīveigajim dorbim un tys dīn dīnā mūceja jō taisneigū dvēseli. 9 Bet Kungs zyna kai padīveigūs izglōbt nu pōrbaudejumim un bezdīveigūs nūstrōpēt un tīsas dīnai uzglobōt, 10 un it seviški tūs, kuri naceistā kaisleibā pasadūd mīsai un pasmōdej vērseibas. Sovā ītīpeibā jī īsadrūšynoj saimōt gūdeibu, 11 kur pat engeli, kas spāka un vareibas ziņā stōv augšōk, naīsadrūšynoj Kunga prīškā izsaceit par jim pasmōdejūša sprīduma. 12 Bet šytī kai naprōteigī lūpi, kuri jau pēc dobas ir tikai tōdēļ, lai jūs sakartu un nūkautu, saimoj tū, kō poši nazyna. 13 Un jim beigas byus taidas pat kai tim, un jī par sovu nataisneibu sajims atmoksu.
Dīnas baudōs rosdami patikšonu, jī kai nateireibas un kauna traipi grymst sovōs īgrybōs un sovōs izlaisteibōs īvalk arī jyusus. 14 Jūs acis ir lauleibas lauzšonas pylnas un napīsōtynojamas grākōšonā un jī īvilinoj napatstōveigōs dvēseles. Jūs sirds ir īvyngrynōta progoreibā. Jī ir nūlōdēšonas bārni. 15 Jī eistū ceļu ir atstōjuši un ir nūgrymuši moldūs, jo jī ir aizgōjuši pa Balaama, Bosora dāla ceļu, kas gribēja sajimt nataisneigu olgu, 16 bet par sovu bezdīveigū dorbu sajēme rōjīni, jo māms lūps aizarunōja cylvāka bolsā un aizkavēja pravīša muļkeibu.
17 Jī ir bezyudiņa olūti, mōkūni, kurus vātra dzonoj. Deļ jim ir sagatavōts vystymsōkais tymsums. 18 Jī tur uzpyuteigas un nakrītnas runas un caur mīseigom kōreibom un bezkauneibom pīvalk pi sevis tūs, kuri nasen nu maļdeigōs dzeives ir atsagrīzuši. 19 Jī, kas poši ir iznīceibas vērgi, tim pīsūleja breiveibu, bet jo kas kū pōrspēj, tod tam tys ir par vērgu. 20 Un jo taidi, kas caur myusu Kunga un Pesteitōja Jezus Kristus pazeišonu nu pasauļa nakrītneibom ir atrauti, otkon ar tom apsajūž un jom pasadūd, tad taidu pādejōs lītas par pyrmajom ir ļaunōkas. 21 Jim byutu bejis lobōk, jo jī taisneibas ceļa pavysam nabyutu pazynuši, na kai pazynušim otkon atkrist nu jim pasnāgtajom svātajom bausleibom. 22 Uz jim atsateic sokomvōrds par suni, kas atsagrīž uz sovu izvāmumu, un par cyuku, kas pēc mozgōšonas otkon vōļojās dubļūs.
