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]。
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.
2 願はくは慈悲と平安と慈愛と汝等に加はらん事を。
May mercy, peace, and love be yours in ever-increasing measure.
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。
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 urge you to fight in defence of the Faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s People.
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 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.
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、
Now I want to remind you — but you already know it all — that, though the Lord delivered the People from Egypt, yet he afterwards destroyed those who refused to believe in him;
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)
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, the punishment of aeonian 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。
Yet in the very same way these men, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the Mighty.
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。
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!’
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 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.
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。
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 that of Korah.
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 the men who are blots upon 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;
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)
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、
To these men, as to others, Enoch, the seventh in descent from Adam, declared — ‘See! the Lord has come with his hosts of holy ones around him,
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 upon all men, 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!’
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 always murmuring, and complaining of their lot; they follow where their passions lead them; they have arrogant words upon their lips; and they flatter men for the sake of what they can get from them.
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 do you, dear friends, recall what was foretold 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 used to say to you — ‘As time draws to an end, there will be scoffers, who will be led by their godless 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 people — animal and unspiritual — who cause divisions.
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 do you, dear friends, build up your characters on the foundation of your most holy Faith, pray under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
and keep within the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to bring you to Immortal 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、
To some show pity, because they are in doubt. ‘Drag them out of the fire,’ and save them.
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。
To others show pity, but with caution, hating the very clothing polluted by their touch.
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、
To him who is able to guard you from falling, and to bring you into his glorious presence, blameless and rejoicing —
