Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Были и лжепророки в народе, как и у вас будут лжеучители, которые введут пагубные ереси и, отвергаясь искупившего их Господа, навлекут сами на себя скорую погибель.
1 But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 И многие последуют их разврату, и через них путь истины будет в поношении.
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
3 И из любостяжания будут уловлять вас льстивыми словами; суд им давно готов, и погибель их не дремлет.
3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
4 Ибо, если Бог ангелов согрешивших не пощадил, но, связав узами адского мрака, предал блюсти на суд для наказания;
4 For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment;
5 и если не пощадил первого мира, но в восьми душах сохранил семейство Ноя, проповедника правды, когда навел потоп на мир нечестивых;
5 and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
6 и если города Содомские и Гоморрские, осудив на истребление, превратил в пепел, показав пример будущим нечестивцам,
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
7 а праведного Лота, утомленного обращением между людьми неистово развратными, избавил
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
8 (ибо сей праведник, живя между ними, ежедневно мучился в праведной душе, видя и слыша дела беззаконные) —
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
9 то, конечно, знает Господь, как избавлять благочестивых от искушения, а беззаконников соблюдать ко дню суда, для наказания,
9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
10 а наипаче тех, которые идут вслед скверных похотей плоти, презирают начальства, дерзки, своевольны и не страшатся злословить высших,
10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
11 тогда как и Ангелы, превосходя их крепостью и силою, не произносят на них пред Господом укоризненного суда.
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
12 Они, как бессловесные животные, водимые природою, рожденные на уловление и истребление, злословя то, чего не понимают, в растлении своем истребятся.
12 But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
13 Они получат возмездие за беззаконие, ибо они полагают удовольствие во вседневной роскоши; срамники и осквернители, они наслаждаются обманами своими, пиршествуя с вами.
13 receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
14 Глаза у них исполнены любострастия и непрестанного греха; они прельщают неутвержденные души; сердце их приучено к любостяжанию: это сыны проклятия.
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
15 Оставив прямой путь, они заблудились, идя по следам Валаама, сына Восорова, который возлюбил мзду неправедную,
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
16 но был обличен в своем беззаконии: бессловесная ослица, проговорив человеческим голосом, остановила безумие пророка.
16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
17 Это безводные источники, облака и мглы, гонимые бурею: им приготовлен мрак вечной тьмы.
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
18 Ибо, произнося надутое пустословие, они уловляют в плотские похоти и разврат тех, которые едва отстали от находящихся в заблуждении.
18 For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
19 Обещают им свободу, будучи сами рабы тления; ибо, кто кем побежден, тот тому и раб.
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
20 Ибо если, избегнув скверн мира чрез познание Господа и Спасителя нашего Иисуса Христа, опять запутываются в них и побеждаются ими, то последнее бывает для таковых хуже первого.
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21 Лучше бы им не познать пути правды, нежели, познав, возвратиться назад от преданной им святой заповеди.
21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 Но с ними случается по верной пословице: пес возвращается на свою блевотину, и: вымытая свинья идет валяться в грязи.
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… saved out of Sodom when all the country round was punished by means of fire and brimstone, the Lord thus making it manifest that He does not forsake those that hope in Him, but gives up such as depart from Him to punishment and torture. For Lot's wife, who went forth with him, being of a different mind from himself …
… incarcerated till their final damnation in the day of judgment, the Apostle Peter very plainly declares, when he says that "God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved into judgment." Who, then, can doubt that God, either in foreknowledge or in act, separated between these …

… that time have so fallen, nor can I think that it is of them the Apostle Peter said, "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment." I think he rather speaks of these who first apostatized from God, along with their …

… one who doeth sin is the servant of sin." And thus there are many wicked masters who have religious men as their slaves, and who are yet themselves in bondage; "for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage." And beyond question it is a happier thing to be the slave of a man …
