يَهُوذا 1
| مِنْ يَهُوذَا، عَبْدِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَشَقِيقِ يَعْقُوبَ، إِلَى الَّذِينَ دَعَاهُمُ اللهُ الآبُ إِلَيْهِ، الْمَحْبُوبِينَ مِنْهُ، وَالْمَحْفُوظِينَ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. | ١ 1 |
Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James: To those who are in God the Father, enfolded in His love, and kept for Jesus Christ, and called.
| لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ وَالْمَحَبَّةُ فِي وَفْرَةٍ وَازْدِيَادٍ! | ٢ 2 |
May mercy, peace and love be abundantly granted to you.
| أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، كُنْتُ قَدْ نَوَيْتُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي مَوْضُوعِ الْخَلاصِ الَّذِي نَشْتَرِكُ فِيهِ جَمِيعاً. وَلَكِنْ، أَرَانِي الآنَ مُضْطَرّاً لأَنْ أَكْتُبَ لأُشَجِّعَكُمْ عَلَى الْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي سُلِّمَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً لِلْقِدِّيسِينَ. | ٣ 3 |
Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.
| لأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَسَلَّلَ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَكُمْ مُعَلِّمُونَ لابُدَّ أَنْ يُلاقُوا الْحُكْمَ بِالْعِقَابِ الأَبَدِيِّ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ لَهُمْ مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ. فَهُمْ أَشْرَارٌ لَا يَهَابُونَ اللهَ، يَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْ نِعْمَةِ إِلَهِنَا فُرْصَةً لإِبَاحَةِ الرَّذَائِلِ، وَيُنْكِرُونَ سَيِّدَنَا وَرَبَّنَا الْوَحِيدَ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ. | ٤ 4 |
For certain persons have crept in unnoticed--men spoken of in ancient writings as pre-destined to this condemnation--ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God into an excuse for immorality, and disown Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.
| فَالآنَ، أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُذَكِّرَكُمْ بِأُمُورٍ تَعْرِفُونَهَا. فَأَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ، بَعْدَمَا أَنْقَذَ الشَّعْبَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، عَادَ فَأَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبِ. | ٥ 5 |
I desire to remind you--although the whole matter is already familiar to you--that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but afterwards destroyed those who had no faith.
| وَأَمَّا الْمَلائِكَةُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُحَافِظُوا عَلَى مَقَامِهِمِ الرَّفِيعِ، بَلْ تَرَكُوا مَرْكَزَهُمْ، فَمَازَالَ الرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُهُمْ مُقَيَّدِينَ بِسَلاسِلَ أَبَدِيَّةٍ فِي أَعْمَاقِ الظَّلامِ، بِانْتِظَارِ دَيْنُونَةِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الْعَظِيمِ. (aïdios g126) | ٦ 6 |
And angels--those who did not keep the position originally assigned to them, but deserted their own proper abode--He reserves in everlasting bonds, in darkness, in preparation for the judgement of the great day. (aïdios g126)
| وَتَعْرِفُونَ كَذَلِكَ مَا فَعَلَهُ الرَّبُّ بِمَدِينَتَيْ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَبِالْمُدُنِ الَّتِي حَوْلَهُمَا. فَقَدْ كَانَ أَهْلُ هذِهِ الْمُدُنِ، مِثْلَ أُولئِكَ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ، مُنْدَفِعِينَ وَرَاءَ الزِّنَى، وَمُنْغَمِسِينَ فِي شَهْوَاتٍ مُخَالِفَةٍ لِلطَّبِيعَةِ. لِذَلِكَ عَاقَبَ الرَّبُّ هَذِهِ الْمُدُنَ بِالنَّارِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ، فَدَمَّرَهَا. فَكَانَتْ بِذَلِكَ عِبْرَةً لِلآخَرِينَ. (aiōnios g166) | ٧ 7 |
So also Sodom and Gomorrah--and the neighboring towns in the same manner--having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing. (aiōnios g166)
| وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّ أُولئِكَ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ الْمُتَوَهِّمِينَ يَسِيرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي سَارَ فِيهَا أَهْلُ تِلْكَ الْمُدُنِ. إِذْ يُلَوِّثُونَ أَجْسَادَهُمْ بِالنَّجَاسَةِ، وَيَحْتَقِرُونَ السِّيَادَةَ الإِلَهِيَّةَ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالإِهَانَةِ عَلَى الْكَائِنَاتِ الْمَجِيدَةِ! | ٨ 8 |
Yet in just the same way these dreamers also pollute the body, while they set authority at naught and speak evil of dignities.
| فَحَتَّى مِيخَائِيلُ، وَهُوَ رَئِيسُ مَلائِكَةٍ، لَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَنْ يَحْكُمَ عَلَى إِبْلِيسَ بِكَلامٍ مُهِينٍ عِنْدَمَا خَاصَمَهُ وَتَجَادَلَ مَعَهُ بِخُصُوصِ جُثْمَانِ مُوسَى، وَإِنَّمَا اكْتَفَى بِالْقَوْلِ لَهُ: «لِيَزْجُرْكَ الرَّبُّ!» | ٩ 9 |
But Michael the Archangel, when contending with the Devil and arguing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce judgement on him in abusive terms, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you."
| وَلَكِنَّ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ كَلاماً مُهِيناً عَلَى أُمُورٍ لَا يَعْرِفُونَهَا. وَأَمَّا مَا يَفْهَمُونَهُ بِالْغَرِيزَةِ، كَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ غَيْرِ الْعَاقِلَةِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ بِهِ يُدَمِّرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
Yet these men are abusive in matters of which they know nothing, and in things which, like the brutes, they understand instinctively--in all these they corrupt themselves.
| الْوَيْلُ لَهُمْ! لأَنَّهُمْ سَلَكُوا طَرِيقَ قَايِينَ، وَانْدَفَعُوا إِلَى ارْتِكَابِ خَطِيئَةِ بَلْعَامَ طَلَباً لِلْمَالِ، وَتَمَرَّدُوا كَمَا تَمَرَّدَ قُورَحُ، فَدَمَّرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!
| إِنَّهُمْ يَشْتَرِكُونَ مَعَكُمْ فِي وَلائِمِ الْمَحَبَّةِ دُونَ خَجَلٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ كَصُخُورٍ تُعِيقُكُمْ. لَا هَمَّ لَهُمْ سِوَى إِشْبَاعِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ! إِنَّهُمْ يُشْبِهُونَ غُيُوماً بِلا مَطَرٍ تَسُوقُهَا الرِّيَاحُ، وَأَشْجَاراً خَرِيفِيَّةً بِلا ثَمَرٍ، يَقْتَلِعُهَا أَصْحَابُهَا، فَتَكُونُ قَدْ مَاتَتْ مَرَّتَيْنِ. | ١٢ 12 |
These men--sunken rocks! --are those who share the pleasure of your love-feasts, unrestrained by fear while caring only for themselves; clouds without water, driven away by the winds; trees that cast their fruit, barren, doubly dead, uprooted;
| وَبِأَعْمَالِهِمِ الْمُخْجِلَةِ يَفْضَحُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ كَأَمْوَاجٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ هَائِجَةٍ تَقْذِفُ الأَوْسَاخَ. وَهُمْ أَشْبَهُ بِنُجُومٍ تَائِهَةٍ فِي الْفَضَاءِ، مَصِيرُهَا الظَّلامُ الشَّدِيدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ! (aiōn g165) | ١٣ 13 |
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved dense darkness of age-long duration. (aiōn g165)
| عَنْ هؤُلاءِ وَأَمْثَالِهِمْ، تَنَبَّأَ أَخْنُوخُ السَّابِعُ بَعْدَ آدَمَ، فَقَالَ: «انْظُرُوا إِنَّ الرَّبَّ آتٍ بِصُحْبَةِ عَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ مِنْ قِدِّيسِيهِ، | ١٤ 14 |
It was also about these that Enoch, who belonged to the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "The Lord has come, attended by myriads of His people, to execute judgement upon all,
| لِيَدِينَ جَمِيعَ النَّاسِ، وَيُوَبِّخَ جَمِيعَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَهَابُونَ اللهَ، بِسَبَبِ جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِهِمِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبُوهَا وَجَمِيعِ أَقْوَالِهِمِ الْقَاسِيَةِ الَّتِي أَهَانُوهُ بِها وَالَّتِي لَا تَصْدُرُ إِلّا عَنِ الْخَاطِئِينَ الأَشْرَارِ غَيْرِ الأَتْقِيَاءِ!» | ١٥ 15 |
and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the hard words which they, ungodly sinners as they are, have spoken against Him."
| وَهؤُلاءِ الْمُعَلِّمُونَ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ وَيَشْكُونَ دَائِماً وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَنْدَفِعُونَ وَرَاءَ شَهْوَاتِهِمْ، يُطْلِقُونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ مُتَحَدِّثِينَ بِأُمُورٍ طَنَّانَةٍ، وَيَمْدَحُونَ مَنْ يُعْجِبُهُمْ طَلَباً لِلْمَنْفَعَةِ! | ١٦ 16 |
These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of the advantage they can gain.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، فَاذْكُرُوا دَائِماً مَا قَالَهُ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. | ١٧ 17 |
But as for you, my dearly-loved friends, remember the words that before now were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ--
| فَقَدْ سَبَقَ أَنْ نَبَّهُوكُمْ إِلَى أَنَّهُ، فِي نِهَايَةِ الزَّمَانِ، سَيَطْلُعُ مُسْتَهْزِئُونَ يَعِيشُونَ مُنْغَمِسِينَ فِي شَهْوَاتِهِمِ الْفَاسِقَةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
how they declared to you, "In the last times there shall be scoffers, obeying only their own ungodly passions."
| هؤُلاءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يُسَبِّبُونَ الانْشِقَاقَ، وَيَنْسَاقُونَ وَرَاءَ غَرَائِزِهِمِ الْحَيَوَانِيَّةِ، وَلَيْسَ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ فِيهِمْ! | ١٩ 19 |
These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، فَابْنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ عَلَى إِيمَانِكُمُ الأَقْدَسِ، وَصَلُّوا دَائِماً فِي الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But you, my dearly-loved friends, building yourselves up on the basis of your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
| وَاحْفَظُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فِي مَحَبَّةِ اللهِ، مُنْتَظِرِينَ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ إِذْ يَعُودُ وَيَأْخُذُكُمْ لِتَحْيَوْا مَعَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. (aiōnios g166) | ٢١ 21 |
must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
| بَعْضُ النَّاسِ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُعَامِلُوهُمْ بِشَفَقَةٍ بِسَبَبِ شُكُوكِهِمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Some, when they argue with you, you must endeavor to convince;
| وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُنْقِذُوهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ خَطْفاً. وَآخَرُونَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُعَالِجُوهُمْ بِشَفَقَةٍ وَحَذَرٍ، مُبْغِضِينَ حَتَّى الثِّيَابَ الَّتِي يُلَوِّثُونَهَا بِأَجْسَادِهِمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
others you must try to save, as brands plucked from the flames; and on others look with pity mingled with fear, while you hate every trace of their sin.
| وَلِلْقَادِرِ أَنْ يَحْرُسَكُمْ مِنَ السُّقُوطِ حَتَّى يُوصِلَكُمْ إِلَى الْمُثُولِ أَمَامَهُ فِي الْمَجْدِ مُبْتَهِجِينَ وَلا عَيْبَ فِيكُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
But to Him who is able to keep you safe from stumbling, and cause you to stand in the presence of His glory free from blemish and full of exultant joy--
| لِلهِ الْوَاحِدِ، مُخَلِّصِنَا بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا الْمَجْدُ وَالْجَلالُ وَالْقُدْرَةُ وَالسُّلْطَةُ، مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ كَانَ الزَّمَانُ، وَالآنَ وَطَوَالَ الأَزْمَانِ. آمِين! (aiōn g165) | ٢٥ 25 |
to the only God our Saviour--through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before all time, is now, and shall be to all the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
