< Jude 1 >

1 To those who, having received the call, have been loved by God the Father and protected by Jesus Christ, From Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and the brother of James.
Juda, služabnik Jezusa Kristusa in Jakobov brat, tem, ki so posvečeni po Bogu Očetu in ohranjeni v Jezusu Kristusu in poklicani:
2 May mercy, peace, and love be yours in ever increasing measure.
›Usmiljenje in mir in ljubezen naj se vam pomnožijo.‹
3 Dear friends, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I felt that I must write to you at once to encourage you to fight in defense of the faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s people.
Ljubljeni, ko sem posvetíl vso marljivost, da vam pišem o skupni rešitvi duš, je bilo zame nujno, da vam pišem in vas spodbujam, da se resno borite za vero, ki je bila enkrat [za vselej] izročena svetim.
4 For there have crept in among you certain godless people, whose sentence has long since been pronounced, and who make the mercy of God an excuse for profligacy, and disown our only lord and master, Jesus Christ.
Kajti ne-sluteč so se prikradli določeni ljudje, ki so bili že od davno odrejeni za to obsodbo, brezbožni ljudje, ki milost našega Boga sprevračajo v opolzkost in zanikajo edinega Gospoda Boga in našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
5 Now I want to remind you – but you already know it all – that, though the Lord delivered the people from Egypt, yet he afterward destroyed those who refused to believe in him;
Hočem vas torej spomniti, čeprav ste nekoč to vedeli, da je Gospod, ki je ljudi rešil iz egiptovske dežele, potem uničil te, ki niso verovali.
6 and that even those angels, who did not keep to their appointed spheres, but left their proper homes, have been kept by him for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains and black darkness. (aïdios g126)
In angele, ki niso obdržali svojega prvega stanja, temveč so zapustili svoje prebivališče, je ohranil v večnih verigah pod temo, do sodbe vélikega dne. (aïdios g126)
7 Like Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns near them, which gave themselves up to fornication, and fell into unnatural vice, these angels now stand out as a warning, undergoing, as they are, punishment in eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Celó kakor so Sódoma in Gomóra in na podoben način mesta okoli njiju, ki so same sebe predajala v prešuštvo in hodila za tujim mesom, postavljena kot zgled, trpeč maščevanje večnega ognja. (aiōnios g166)
8 Yet in the same way these people, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the celestial beings.
Podobno tudi ti umazani sanjači omadežujejo meso, prezirajo gospostvo in hudobno govorijo o dostojanstvih.
9 Yet even Michael, the archangel, when, in his dispute with the devil, he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to charge him with maligning, but said merely ‘The Lord rebuke you!’
Vendarle si nadangel Mihael, ko se je pričkal s hudičem in prerekal glede Mojzesovega telesa, ni drznil zoper njega udrihati obtožbe, temveč je rekel: »Gospod te ošteje.«
10 But these people malign whatever they do not understand; while they use such things as they know by instinct (like the animals that have no reason) for their own corruption.
Toda ti govorijo hudobno o teh stvareh, ki jih ne poznajo; toda kar naravno vedo kot brezčutne živali, v teh stvareh sami sebe kvarijo.
11 Alas for them! They walk in the steps of Cain; led astray by Balaam’s love of gain, they plunge into sin, and meet their ruin through rebellion like Korah.
Gorje jim! Kajti odšli so na Kajnovo pot in lakomno tekli za Bileámovo zmoto po nagrado in propadli v Korahovem uporu.
12 These are the people who are blots on your ‘love-feasts,’ when they feast together and provide without scruple for themselves alone. They are clouds without rain, driven before the winds; they are leafless trees without a vestige of fruit, dead through and through, torn up by the roots;
Ti so madeži na vaših dobrodelnih pojedinah, ko se zabavajo z vami in se hranijo brez strahu. Oblaki so brez vode, ki jih vetrovi nosijo okoli; drevesa, katerih sad vene, brez sadu, dvakrat mrtva, izruvana s koreninami;
13 they are wild sea waves, foaming with their own shame; they are ‘wandering stars,’ for which the blackest darkness has been reserved for ever. (aiōn g165)
besneči morski valovi, ki se penijo od svoje lastne sramote; blodeče zvezde, ki jim je za vedno prihranjena črna temà. (aiōn g165)
14 To these people, as to others, Enoch, the seventh in descent from Adam, declared – ‘See! The Lord has come with his hosts of holy ones around him,
In tudi Henoh, sedmi od Adama, je prerokoval o njih, rekoč: ›Glej, Gospod prihaja z deset tisoči svojih svetih,
15 to execute judgment on all people, and to convict all godless people of all their godless acts, which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the harsh words which they have spoken against him, godless sinners that they are!’
da izvrši sodbo nad vsemi in da prepriča vse, ki so med njimi brezbožni, o vseh njihovih brezbožnih dejanjih, ki so jih brezbožno zagrešili in o vseh njihovih trdih govorih, ki so jih brezbožni grešniki govorili zoper njega.‹
16 These people are always murmuring, and complaining of their lot; they follow where their passions lead them; they have arrogant words on their lips; and they flatter others for the sake of what they can get from them.
To so godrnjači, pritoževalci, ki hodijo za svojimi lastnimi poželenji; in njihova usta govorijo velike napihnjene besede, ker zaradi koristi občudujejo človeško zunanjost.
17 But you should, dear friends, recall what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Toda ljubljeni, spominjajte se besed, ki so vam jih prej govorili apostoli našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa,
18 how they used to say to you – ‘As time draws to an end, there will be scoffers, who will be led by their godless passions.’
kako so vam povedali, da bodo v poslednjem času zasmehovalci, ki naj bi hodili za svojimi lastnimi brezbožnimi poželenji.
19 These are the people – animal and unspiritual – who cause divisions.
Ti so tisti, ki se oddvojijo, čutni, ki nimajo Duha.
20 But you must, dear friends, build up your characters on the foundation of your most holy faith, pray under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
Toda vi, ljubljeni, se izgrajujte v svoji najsvetejši veri, moleč v Svetem Duhu,
21 and keep within the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to bring you to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
ohranite se v Božji ljubezni, pričakujte usmiljenje našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, za večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)
22 To some show pity, because they are in doubt. ‘Drag them out of the fire,’ and save them.
In do nekaterih imejte sočutje, s tem da delate razliko;
23 To others show pity, but with caution, hating the clothing polluted by their touch.
druge pa rešite s strahom in jih potegnite iz ognja; in sovražite celó obleko, omadeževano z mesom.
24 To him who is able to guard you from falling, and to bring you into his glorious presence, blameless and rejoicing –
Torej njemu, ki vas je zmožen varovati pred padcem in vas s silno radostjo predstaviti brezhibne pred prisotnost svoje slave,
25 to the one God, our Savior, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, glory, majesty, power, and dominion, as it was before time began, is now, and will be for all time to come. Amen. (aiōn g165)
edinemu modremu Bogu, našemu Odrešeniku, bodi slava in veličanstvo, gospostvo in oblast, tako sedaj kot na veke. Amen. (aiōn g165)
