< Judah 1 >

1 Judah, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, and brother of Jacob, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Yeshua the Messiah:
耶穌基督的僕人,雅各的弟兄猶大,寫信給那被召、在父上帝裏蒙愛、為耶穌基督保守的人。
2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
願憐恤、平安、慈愛多多地加給你們。
3 Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the holy ones.
親愛的弟兄啊,我想盡心寫信給你們,論我們同得救恩的時候,就不得不寫信勸你們,要為從前一次交付聖徒的真道竭力地爭辯。
4 For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.
因為有些人偷着進來,就是自古被定受刑罰的,是不虔誠的,將我們上帝的恩變作放縱情慾的機會,並且不認獨一的主宰-我們主耶穌基督。
5 Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe.
從前主救了他的百姓出埃及地,後來就把那些不信的滅絕了。這一切的事,你們雖然都知道,我卻仍要提醒你們。
6 Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgement of the great day. (aïdios g126)
又有不守本位、離開自己住處的天使,主用鎖鍊把他們永遠拘留在黑暗裏,等候大日的審判。 (aïdios g126)
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
又如所多瑪、蛾摩拉和周圍城邑的人,也照他們一味地行淫,隨從逆性的情慾,就受永火的刑罰,作為鑑戒。 (aiōnios g166)
8 Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
這些做夢的人也像他們污穢身體,輕慢主治的,毀謗在尊位的。
9 But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”
天使長米迦勒為摩西的屍首與魔鬼爭辯的時候,尚且不敢用毀謗的話罪責他,只說:「主責備你吧!」。
10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.
但這些人毀謗他們所不知道的。他們本性所知道的事與那沒有靈性的畜類一樣,在這事上竟敗壞了自己。
11 Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.
他們有禍了!因為走了該隱的道路,又為利往巴蘭的錯謬裏直奔,並在可拉的背叛中滅亡了。
12 These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
這樣的人在你們的愛席上與你們同吃的時候,正是礁石。他們作牧人,只知餵養自己,無所懼怕;是沒有雨的雲彩,被風飄蕩;是秋天沒有果子的樹,死而又死,連根被拔出來;
13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
是海裏的狂浪,湧出自己可恥的沫子來;是流蕩的星,有墨黑的幽暗為他們永遠存留。 (aiōn g165)
14 About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
亞當的七世孫以諾曾預言這些人說:「看哪,主帶着他的千萬聖者降臨,
15 to execute judgement on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
要在眾人身上行審判,證實那一切不敬虔的人所妄行一切不敬虔的事,又證實不敬虔之罪人所說頂撞他的剛愎話。」
16 These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
這些人是私下議論,常發怨言的,隨從自己的情慾而行,口中說誇大的話,為得便宜諂媚人。
17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
親愛的弟兄啊,你們要記念我們主耶穌基督之使徒從前所說的話。
18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
他們曾對你們說過,末世必有好譏誚的人隨從自己不敬虔的私慾而行。
19 These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
這就是那些引人結黨、屬乎血氣、沒有聖靈的人。
20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
親愛的弟兄啊,你們卻要在至聖的真道上造就自己,在聖靈裏禱告,
21 Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
保守自己常在上帝的愛中,仰望我們主耶穌基督的憐憫,直到永生。 (aiōnios g166)
22 On some have compassion, making a distinction,
有些人存疑心,你們要憐憫他們;
23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
有些人你們要從火中搶出來,搭救他們;有些人你們要存懼怕的心憐憫他們,連那被情慾沾染的衣服也當厭惡。
24 Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
那能保守你們不失腳、叫你們無瑕無疵、歡歡喜喜站在他榮耀之前的我們的救主-獨一的上帝,
25 to God our Saviour, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
願榮耀、威嚴、能力、權柄,因我們的主耶穌基督歸與他,從萬古以前並現今,直到永永遠遠。阿們! (aiōn g165)
