< ユダの手紙 1 >

1 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]。
JUDE a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified in God the Father, and preserved by Jesus Christ, the called:
2 願はくは慈悲と平安と慈愛と汝等に加はらん事を。
mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied.
3 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。
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you concerning the common salvation, I held it necessary to write unto you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints.
4 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。
For certain men have craftily introduced themselves, who were from of old proscribed for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of God into impurity, and denying our only sovereign God and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 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、
But I would remind you, though ye once knew this, that the Lord, though he delivered the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed those who believed not.
6 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)
And the angels who preserved not their own primitive state, but deserted their proper abode, hath he reserved in everlasting chains under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 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)
As Sodom and Gomorrha and the surrounding cities, in like manner with them abandoned to whoredom, and going after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the judicial punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 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。
In like manner also do these men, even when they dream, defile indeed the flesh, despise sovereignty, and revile dignities.
9 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。
Though Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not to produce a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 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。
But these men speak evil even of the things of which they have no knowledge: but such things as they know naturally, as the brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.
11 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。
Wo unto them! for they have walked in the way of Cain, and have eagerly run in Balaam’s erroneous path of hire, and have perished in opposition, like Corah.
12 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、
These are in your feasts of love, as sunken rocks; though joining in your banquet, they feed themselves fearlessly; clouds without water carried about by the winds; trees untimely withering, fruitless, twice dead, rooted up;
13 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)
raging billows of the sea foaming out their own infamies; stars wandering from their courses, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved. (aiōn g165)
14 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、
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied also of these men, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with myriads of his saints,
15 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。
to execute judgment against all men, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have impiously committed, and of all the bitter words which impious offenders have spoken against him.
16 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。
These men are murmurers, complainers at their lot in life, walking after their own corrupt passions; and their mouth utters hyperbolically pompous expressions, pretending high personal admiration, in order to make their advantage.
17 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。
But ye, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 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。
how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers, walking after their own ungodly passions.
19 彼等は自ら分裂して肉慾に從ひ、霊を有せざる者なり。
These are the men who separate themselves, sensual, destitute of the Spirit.
20 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、
But ye, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Ghost,
21 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)
preserve yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 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、
And of some have compassion, distinguishing their case;
23 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。
and others save with trembling, snatching them out of the fire; though hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 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、
Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with exultation,
25 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)
to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, might and dominion, both now and unto all eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
