< Jude 1 >

1 Jude, Jesus Christ’s servant, and brother of James, unto, the called, by God the Father, beloved, and, by Jesus Christ preserved, —
耶穌基督的僕人,雅各伯的弟兄猶達,致書給在天主父內蒙愛,為耶穌基督而保存的蒙召者。
2 Mercy to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied!
願仁慈、平安、愛情豐富地賜予你們。
3 Beloved! though I was using all diligence to be writing unto you concerning our common salvation, yet have I had necessity to write at once unto you, exhorting you to be earnestly contending for, the faith, once for all delivered unto the saints.
親愛的,我早已切望給你們寫信,討論我們共享的就恩;但現在不得不給你們寫信,勸勉你們應奮鬥,維護從前一次而永遠傳與聖徒的信仰。
4 For there have crept in unobserved certain men, who, from of old, have been publicly notified for this sentence, ungodly, men, the favour of our God, turning into wantonness, and, our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ, denying.
因為有些早已被注定要受這審判的人,潛入你們中間;他們是邪惡的人,竟把我們天主的恩寵,變為放縱情慾的機會,並否認我們獨一的主宰和主耶穌基督。
5 I am minded, therefore, to put you in remembrance, —though ye know all things once for all, That the Lord, when a people out of Egypt he had saved, in, the next place, them that believed not, destroyed.
雖然你們一次而永遠知道這一切,但我仍願提醒你們:主固然由埃及地救出了百姓,隨後卻把那些不信的人消滅了;
6 Messengers also, even them who had not kept their own principality, but had forsaken their proper dwelling, unto the judgment of the great day in perpetual bonds under thick gloom, hath he reserved. (aïdios g126)
至於那些沒有保持自己尊位,而離棄自己居所的天使,主也用永遠的鎖鏈,把他們拘留在幽暗中,以等候那偉大日子的審判; (aïdios g126)
7 As, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having in like manner to these given themselves over to fornication, and gone away after other kind of flesh, lie exposed as an example, a penalty of age-abiding fire, undergoing. (aiōnios g166)
同樣,索多瑪和哈摩辣及其附近的城市,因為也和他們一樣恣意行淫,隨從逆性的肉慾,至今受著永火的刑罰,作為鑑戒。 (aiōnios g166)
8 In like manner, nevertheless, even these, in their dreamings, flesh indeed defile, while lordship they set aside, and dignities they defame.
可是這些作夢的人照樣玷污肉身,拒絕主權者,褻瀆眾尊榮者。
9 Whereas, Michael, the chief-messenger, when, with the adversary, disputing, he was reasoning about the body of Moses, durst not impose on him a defamatory sentence, but said—The Lord rebuke thee!
當總領天使彌額爾,為了梅瑟的屍體和魔鬼激烈爭辯時,尚且不敢以侮辱的言詞下判決,而只說:「願主叱責你!」
10 But, these, whatsoever things, indeed, they know not, they defame; but, whatsoever things, naturally, like the irrational creatures, they well understand, by these, are they, bringing themselves to ruin.
這些人卻不然,凡他們所不明白的事就褻瀆,而他們按本性所體驗的事,卻像無理性的牲畜一樣,就在這些事上敗壞自己。
11 Alas for them! because—in the way of Cain have they gone, and, in the error of Balaam’s wage, have they run riot, and, in the gainsaying of Korah, have they perished.
這些人是有禍的!因為他們走了加音的路,為圖利而自陷於巴郎的錯誤,並因科辣黑一樣的判逆,而自取滅亡。
12 These are they—who, in your love-feasts, are hidden rocks, as they fare sumptuously together, fearlessly, themselves, shepherding, —clouds without water, by winds swept along, trees autumnal, fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,
這些人是你們愛宴上的污點,他們同人宴樂,毫無廉恥,只顧自肥;他們像無水的浮雲,隨風飄盪;又像晚秋不結果實,死了又死,該連根拔出來的樹木;
13 Wild waves of sea, foaming out their own infamies, wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness age-abiding hath been reserved. (aiōn g165)
像海裏的怒濤,四下飛濺他們無恥的白沫;又像出軌的行星;為他們所存留的,乃是直到永遠的黑暗的幽冥。 (aiōn g165)
14 But the seventh from Adam, Enoch, prophesied, even of these, saying—Lo! the Lord hath come with his holy myriads, —
針對這些人,亞當後第七代聖祖哈諾客也曾預言說:「看,主帶著他千萬的聖者降來,
15 To execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly—of all their works of ungodliness, which they committed in ungodliness, and of all the hard things which they have spoken against him—sinners, ungodly!
要審判眾人,指證一切惡人所行的一切的惡事,和邪辟的人所說的一切褻瀆他的言語。」
16 These, are murmurers, complainers, according to their covetings, going on, —and, their mouth, speaketh great swelling words, —holding persons in admiration, for profit’s sake.
這些人好出怨言,不滿命運;按照自己的私慾行事,他們的口好說大話,為了利益而奉承他人。
17 But, ye, beloved! remember the things which were foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
但是,你們,親愛的,你們要記得我們的主耶穌基督的宗徒所預言過的話,
18 How that they used to say to you—In the last time, there shall be mockers, —according to their own ungodly covetings, going on.
他們曾向你們說過:「到末期,必有一些好嘲弄人的人,按照他們個人邪惡的私慾行事。」
19 These, are they who make complete separation, mere men of soul, Spirit, not possessing.
這就是那些好分黨分派,屬於血肉,沒有聖神的人。
20 But, ye, beloved! building yourselves up in your most holy faith, in Holy Spirit, praying,
可是,你們,親愛的,你們要把自己建築在你們至聖的信德上,在聖神內祈禱;
21 Yourselves, in God’s love, keep, —awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto age-abiding life. (aiōnios g166)
這樣保存你們自己常在天主的愛內,期望賴我們的主耶穌基督的仁慈,入於永生。 (aiōnios g166)
22 And, on some, indeed, have mercy, —such as are in doubt, be saving, out of the fire, snatching them;
對那些懷疑不信的人,你們要說服;
23 But, on others, have mercy with fear, hating even, the garment, spotted by the flesh.
對另一些人,你們要拯救,把他們從火裏拉出來;但對另一些人,你們固然要憐憫,可是應存戒懼的心,甚至連他們肉身所玷污了的內衣,也要憎惡。
24 Now, unto him who is able—to guard you from stumbling, and to set you in the presence of his glory, without blemish, with exultation, —
願那能保護你們不失足,並能叫你們無瑕地,在歡躍中立在他光榮面前的,
25 Unto God alone our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, greatness, dominion, and authority, before all the [by-gone] age, and now, and unto all the [coming] ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)
惟一的天主,我們的救主,藉我們的主耶穌基督,獲享光榮、尊威、主權和能力,於萬世之前,現在,至於無窮之世。阿們。 (aiōn g165)
