Judas 1
1 Judas, Jesu Kristi Tjener og Broder til Jakob, til de kaldede, som ere elskede i Gud Fader og bevarede for Jesus Kristus:
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, [and] called:
2 Barmhjertighed og Fred og Kærlighed vorde eder mangfoldig til Del!
Mercy to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 I elskede! da det lå mig alvorligt på Sinde at skrive til eder om vor fælles Frelse, fandt jeg det nødvendigt at skrive til eder med Formaning om at stride for den Tro, som een Gang er bleven overgiven de hellige.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you concerning the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith, which was once delivered to the saints.
4 Thi der har indsneget sig nogle Mennesker, om hvem det for længe siden er forud skrevet, at de vilde falde under denne Dom: Ugudelige, som misbruge vor, Guds Nåde til Uterlighed og fornægte vor eneste Hersker og Herre Jesus Kristus.
For certain men have crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Men skønt I een Gang for alle vide det alt sammen, vil jeg minde eder om, at da Herren havde frelst Folket ud af Ægyptens Land, ødelagde han næste Gang dem, som ikke troede,
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 og de Engle, som ikke bevarede deres Højhed, men forlode deres egen Bolig, bar han holdt forvarede i evige Lænker under Mørke til den store Dags Dom; (aïdios g126)
And the angels who kept not their first state, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 ligesom Sodoma og Gomorra og de omliggende Stæder, der på samme Måde som disse vare henfaldne til Utugt og gik efter fremmed Kød), ere satte til et Eksempel, idet de bære en evig Ilds Straf. (aiōnios g166)
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to impurity, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Alligevel gå også disse ligedan i Drømme og besmitte Kød, foragte Herskab og bespotte Herligheder.
Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Men Overengelen Mikael turde, da han tvistedes med Djævelen og talte om Mose Legeme, ikke fremføre en Bespottelsesdom, men sagde: "Herren straffe dig!"
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 Disse derimod bespotte, hvad de ikke kende; og hvad de som de ufornuftige Dyr vide Besked om af Naturen, dermed ødelægge de sig selv.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Ve dem! thi de ere gåede på Kains Vej og have styrtet sig i Bileams Vildfarelse for Vindings Skyld og ere gåede til Grunde i Horas Genstridighed.
Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 Disse ere Skærene ved eders Kærlighedsmåltider, fordi de uden Undseelse frådse med og pleje sig selv; de ere vandløse Skyer, som drives forbi af Vinden; bladløse Træer uden Frugt, to Gange døde, oprykkede med Rode;
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about by winds; withered autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked out by the roots;
13 vilde Bølger på Hav, som udskumme deres egen Skam; vild farende Stjerner; for dem er Mørke og Mulm bevaret til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Men om disse har også Enok, den syvende fra Adam, profeteret, da han sagde: "Se, Herren kom med sine hellige Titusinder
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 for at holde Dom over alle og straffe alle de ugudelige for alle deres Ugudeligheds Gerninger, som de have bedrevet, og for alle de formastelige Ord, som de have talt imod ham, de ugudelige Syndere!"
To execute judgment upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have impiously committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 Disse ere de, som knurre, som klage over deres Skæbne, medens de vandre efter deres Begæringer, og deres Mund taler overmodige Ord, medens de for Fordels Skyld vise Beundring for Personer.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 I derimod, I elskede! kommer de Ord i Hu, som forud ere talte af vor Herres Jesu Kristi Apostle;
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 thi de sagde eder: I den sidste Tid skal der være Spottere, som vandre efter deres Ugudeligheders Begæringer.
That they told you there would be mockers in the last time, who would walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 Disse ere de, som volde Splittelser, sjælelige, som ikke have Ånd.
These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 I derimod, I elskede! opbygger eder selv på eders helligste Tro; beder i den Helligånd;
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Spirit,
21 bevarer således eder selv i Guds Kærlighed, forventende vor Herres Jesu Kristi Barmhjertighed til evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Og revser nogle, når de tvivle,
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 frelser andre ved at udrive dem af Ilden, forbarmer eder over andre med Frygt, så I hade endog den af Kødet besmittede Kjortel.
And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Men ham, som er mægtig til at bevare eder fra Fald og fremstille eder for sin Herlighed ulastelige i Fryd,
Now to him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
