Jude 1
1 [I am] Jude. I [serve] Jesus Christ [like] a voluntary slave [MET]. I am a [younger] brother of James, [the leader of all the congregations. I am writing] to you whom [God] has chosen [to belong to him. You are] loved by God [our] Father and protected by Jesus Christ (OR, whom [God] has protected [to present] to Jesus Christ).
イエズス、キリストの僕にしてヤコボの兄弟なるユダ、父にて在す神に愛せられ、キリスト、イエズスの為に保たれ、且召され奉りたる人々に[書簡を贈る]。
2 [I pray that] you will continue to [experience] very much [God acting] mercifully toward you, [causing you to have inner] peace, and loving [you].
願はくは慈悲と平安と慈愛と汝等に加はらん事を。
3 You whom I love, I (was very eager/very much wanted) to write to you about that which we all (share/have in common), which is how ([God/Jesus Christ]) [has] saved [us]. But now I realize that it is necessary [for me] to write to you in order to exhort you to defend the [truth about Christ] that we believe. [Jesus and his apostles] gave that truth once and for all to us who belong to God, [and we must not let it be changed] {[anyone revise/change it]}.
至愛なる者よ、我は我等が共同の救霊に就きて汝等に書贈らんことを切に望み、一度聖人等によりて傳へられし信仰の為に力を盡して戰はんことを勧めんとて、汝等に書贈るを必要とせり。
4 Some people falsely [teach that because] God kindly does for us what we do not deserve, it (does not matter/is all right) if we continue to sin. [Those people show by the way that they conduct their lives] that they do not want to admit/accept that Jesus Christ [is] our only Master and Lord. [It was written] long ago {[Someone] long ago wrote} that [God] would condemn (such ungodly people/people like that whose lives are displeasing to him). But some [of those] people have entered [MET] [like crawling snakes] into your congregations [and oppose the truth about Christ, so you must resist/oppose them].
其は或人々、即ち昔より罪に處せるる様預定せられたる不敬虔なる人々の潜入りて、我神の恩寵を放蕩に易へ、唯一の主宰者にして我主にて在せるイエズス、キリストを否み奉ればなり。
5 Although you previously knew all these things, [there are certain things about] which I desire to remind you. [Do not forget that although] the Lord rescued [his people] from Egypt, he later destroyed most of those same people, ones who did not believe [in him].
本文 汝等素より何事をも知れりと雖も、爰に我汝等をして思出さしめんとする事あり。即ち主エジプトの地より民を救出し給ひて後、信ぜざりし人々を亡びし給ひ、
6 And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios g126, questioned)
又己が位を保たず己が居處を棄てたりし天使等を、大いなる日の審判の為に、無窮の縲絏を以て暗黒の中に閉ぢ給ひ、 (aïdios g126)
7 Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
又ソドマ、ゴモラ及び其付近の市町は、同じく淫亂に耽り、異なる肉身を冒したるが故に、永遠の火の刑罰を受けて見せしめと為られしなり。 (aiōnios g166)
8 Similarly, these [ungodly people in your midst] also defile their own bodies [by living immorally], because [they claim/say that God revealed] in visions [that they should act that way]. They refuse to [allow] anyone to have authority over them, and they (revile/speak evil about) [God’s] glorious/wonderful [angels].
斯の如く彼夢想者等も亦肉身を汚し、権力を軽んじ、尊榮を罵る。
9 When (the devil/Satan) argued with the chief angel, Michael, about [who would take away] the body of [the prophet] Moses [to bury it], Michael did not [do as these teachers of false doctrine do. Even though Michael has much more authority than they do], he did not disrespectfully (revile/say evil things to) Satan and accuse/condemn him. Instead, he [only] said, “[I desire that] the Lord [God] will rebuke you!”
大天使ミカエルは、惡魔と論じてモイゼの屍を争ひし時に、敢て罵るが如き宣告を為さずして、願はくは主汝に命じ給はん事を、と言へり。
10 But the [ones in your midst] who teach false doctrine (revile/speak evil against) the [spiritual] beings that they do not understand. They also [do the evil things that they desire], things that they know about (naturally/without needing to think), things that they just do without considering [the consequences/results], like animals. So they destroy themselves. [But they will also be punished by God] {[God will also] punish them}.
然れども是等の人は総て知らざる事を罵り、無知の畜類の如く自然に知れる事を以て其身を汚すなり。
11 [God will do] terrible things to those who teach false doctrine! They conduct their lives [wickedly] like Cain, [who murdered his brother because he was] ([jealous/angry because God accepted his brother’s sacrifice and did not accept his]). These false teachers (devote themselves to [MET] [doing] wrong things [like] Balaam, who [tried to induce God’s people to sin in order to get the money that was offered to him]. They will perish like Korah, who rebelled [against the authority that God gave to Moses].
彼等は禍なる哉、其はカインの道に行き、又報酬の為にバラアムの迷に流れ、尚コオレの謀反の中に亡びたればなり。
12 Those teachers of false doctrine are [as dangerous to you as] [MET] (hidden rocks on a reef/rocks underneath the surface of the ocean) [are to a boat]. When you gather together [to eat the meals that] help you believers to love each other more and have a closer relationship with each other, they [join you and] carouse shamelessly, caring [only] for themselves [and not for others. Because they do not do anything to help others] [MET], they are [as useless as] clouds that are blown along by the wind {that the wind blows along} but that do not [produce/give] any rain. [They are as disappointing as] [MET] trees that do not produce fruit in the autumn [as we expect them to]. They are not only [spiritually] [MET] dead themselves, [but they are] not [able to cause others to be] alive [spiritually, just like] [MET] trees that have been {that [someone] has} uprooted and [as a result] are unable to produce any fruit.
彼等は憚らずして食し、己を飽足らしめて、汝等の愛餐に於て汚と成り、風に吹遣らるる水なき雲、實らずして再び枯れ、根の抜かれたる秋の末の樹、
13 They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn g165, questioned)
己が醜行を泡立たする海の暴波、暗黒が彼等の為に限なく備はれる惑星なり。 (aiōn g165)
14 Enoch, the sixth [person in the line of people who descended] from Adam, prophesied this about those [teachers of false doctrine]: “Listen carefully to this: The Lord will certainly come with a countless number of his holy [angels] in order
アダムより七代目なるヘノクは、是等の人をも斥して預言して言へらく、「看よ主は其千萬の聖徒を從へて來り給ひ、
15 to judge everyone, and to punish all wicked and (ungodly people/people whose lives are displeasing to God) for all the (ungodly things/things that displease God) that they did in (an ungodly way/a way that displeases God), and for all the harsh things that ungodly sinful people have spoken against him.”
萬民に對ひて審判を為し、凡ての不敬虔なる者を、其不敬虔に行ひし不敬虔の業と、不敬虔なる罪人が神に對ひ奉りて語りし凡ての暴言とを以て責め給ふべし」と。
16 Those [teachers] of [false doctrine] grumble [about] the [things that God does]. They complain [about what happens to them]. They do the sinful things that their [bodies] desire. They talk boastfully. They (flatter/say nice things to) people, only in order to get [those people to give them the] things that they want.
彼等は私慾に從ひて歩み、不満を鳴らして呟く者、其口は大言を語り、利益の為に人に諂ふ者なり。
17 But you people whom I love need to remember the things that were predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ {that the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen}.
至愛なる者よ、汝等は我主イエズス、キリストの使徒等より預言せられし事を記憶せよ。
18 They told you, “In the final period of time [in which we are now living] there will be people who will laugh at [the truths that God has revealed]. They will do the (ungodly things/things that are displeasing to God) that their [bodies] desire.”
即ち彼等謂へらく、末の時には嘲る人々來り、己が望に從ひて不敬虔の業の中に歩まん、と。
19 [That describes] the teachers of false doctrine [well, because] they are the ones who cause divisions among believers. They do what their own minds tell them to do. The Spirit [of God] does not live within them.
彼等は自ら分裂して肉慾に從ひ、霊を有せざる者なり。
20 But you people whom I love, (hold/continue to trust) firmly to the very sacred truths that you believe. Pray by [letting] the Holy Spirit enable/empower you.
至愛なる者よ、汝等が至聖なる信仰の上に己を建て、聖霊によりて祈り、
21 Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios g166)
己を神の愛の中に守り、永遠の生命を得ん為に、我主イエズス、キリストの御慈悲を待て。 (aiōnios g166)
22 Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
汝等彼等の中の或者、即ち眞偽を争へる人々を承服せしめ、
23 [Rescue] others from [the influence of those who teach what is false] [MET], [as you would rescue things by] snatching [them from] a fire. Pity those [whom the teachers of false doctrine have completely convinced], but beware that [you yourselves are not influenced by them] {that they do not influence you}. Detest [doing or even thinking about the sins that those people commit, just like you would detest] [MET] touching not only filthy things but the clothes that were stained by those things {that those things stained}.
或者を火より取出して救ひ、或者を懼れつつ憫み、肉に汚されたる肌着をも厭ふべし。
24 God is able to keep you from ceasing to trust in him (OR, from sinning), and he is able to bring you into his glorious presence. [As you stand before him], there will be nothing [for which] you [will] be condemned {[he can] condemn you}, and you will be rejoicing greatly.
結末 克く汝等を守りて躓かざらしむる事と、（我主イエズス、キリストの降臨の時に）其光榮の御前に汚なく喜ばしく立たしむる事を得給ふもの、
25 He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
即ち我主イエズス、キリストによりて、我救主にて在す唯一の神に、萬世の以前に於ても、今に於ても、又萬世に至る迄も、光榮、威光、能力、権能歸す、アメン。 (aiōn g165)
