Juda 1
1 Ampa Sithaw mah ciimcaisak ih, Jesu Kri mah pakuem moe, kawk ih kaminawk khaeah, Jesu Kri tamna ah kaom, Jakob ih amnawk, Juda mah tarik:
This letter comes from Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and James' brother. I am writing to those who are called and loved by God the Father, and who are kept safe by Jesus Christ:
2 palungnathaih, monghaih hoi amlunghaih nangcae khaeah pung nasoe.
May God's mercy, peace, and love increase in your experience!
3 Palung ih kaminawk, kami boih han kaom pahlonghaih kawng nangcae khaeah tarik moe, paek hanah tha ka pathok, toe kaciim kaminawk khaeah vaito kakhawt ah paek ih tanghaih to na pakaa o hanah ca tarik han angaih, tiah ka poek.
My friends, I was already looking forward to writing to you about the salvation that we share. But now I need to write urgently to you and encourage you to vigorously defend the truth about God, given once and for all time to God's holy people.
4 Lokcaek hanah canghni hoi pahoe coek ih Sithaw panoek ai thoemto kaminawk loe, tamquta hoi akun o moe, aicae Sithaw tahmenhaih to nongpata nongpa zaehaih bangah paqoi o ving, maeto khue kaom Angraeng Sithaw hoi aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri to tapom han koeh o ai.
For some people have quietly crept in among you. They were written about and condemned a long time ago, for they are wicked people who pervert God's grace, turning it into a license to immorality, while also denying our Lord and master Jesus Christ.
5 Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk to Izip prae thung hoiah pahlong, toe anih mah hnukkhuem ah tang ai kaminawk to hum, tiah kaom hmuen kawng hae na panoek o boih boeh e, panoeksak let han ka koeh.
Even though you already know this, I want to remind you that though the Lord saved his people out of the land of Egypt, later he still destroyed those who disbelieved.
6 Hmaloe koekah angmacae angdoethaih ahmuen ah kaom poe ai, angmacae ohhaih ahmuen caehtaak vankaminawk to, kalen parai niah lokcaek hanah Anih mah sumqui hoi dungzan ah pathlet moe, khoving thungah suek boeh. (aïdios g126)
Even those angels that were not content with their God-given positions but abandoned their rightful places—he has placed them in eternal chains of darkness until the great Day of Judgment. (aïdios g126)
7 To baktih toengah, Sodom hoi Gomorrah taeng ih vangpuinawk doeh, nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih bangah ang paek o moe, angmacae zu sava na ai kalah kaminawk hoiah zaehaih a sak o pongah, khet koi kaom ah dungzan hmai hoiah lokcaekhaih to a tongh o. (aiōnios g166)
In just the same way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns nearby that pursued immorality and perverted sex are provided as an example of those that experience the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 To baktih toengah hae tiah amaang sah kaminawk mah doeh angmacae ih takpum to panuet kaom ah a sak o, ukhaih to pahnawt o ai, ukhaih kaa tawn kaminawk to kasae a thuih o.
Likewise these dreamers pollute their bodies, disregard authority, and insult heavenly beings.
9 Toe kalen koek van kami Mikal mah mataeng doeh, Setan hoiah Mosi ih takpum anglomh hoi naah, anih to kasae thuih han zit pongah, Angraeng mah na thuitaek nasoe, tiah a naa.
Even the archangel Michael, when he was arguing with the devil over Moses' body, didn't dare to condemn him with a slanderous insult, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you.”
10 Toe hae kaminawk mah loe nihcae mah panoek ai ih hmuennawk to kasae thuih o: moi kasan baktiah angmacae mah panoek o ih hmuennawk hoiah angmacae to amrosak.
But these people ridicule whatever they don't understand; and what they do understand they instinctively follow like unthinking animals—this is what destroys them.
11 Khosak na bing o! Nihcae loe Kain ih loklam ni pazui o boeh, amekhaih hnuk han koeh o pongah Balaam sakpazaehaih thungah akun o moe, Kore lokaekhaih thungah amro o boih boeh.
They're in terrible trouble! For they have followed Cain's way. Like Balaam and his delusion, they have abandoned themselves to the profit motive. Like Korah and his rebellion, they have destroyed themselves.
12 To kaminawk loe na koeh o ih poihkung ah, nangcae hoi nawnto buhcaak naah, azathaih tawn ai ah angmacae koeh karoek to buh to a caak o: nihcae loe takhi mah koeh baktiah hmuh ih, khotui kaom ai tamainawk baktiah ni oh o; athaih athai ai, akung kazaem, vai hnetto kadueh, tangzun hoi aphong ih thingkung baktih;
These people spoil your fellowship meals, for they are selfish shepherds that don't have the slightest sense of shame—they only take care of themselves. They're clouds blown along by the wind that bring no rain. They're bare trees without fruit—twice dead, pulled out by the roots.
13 kangphui tuipui tuiphunawk baktiah angmacae azathaih to amtueng o sak, dungzan ah khoving tahmuep loe kazawk cakaeh ah kaom nihcae hanah pahoe pae boeh. (aiōn g165)
They're violent ocean waves, foaming in their own disgrace. They're false stars, doomed forever to utter darkness. (aiōn g165)
14 Adam hoi sarihto haih ah kaom Enok mah, Khenah, Angraeng loe angmah ih kaciim kami sang hato hoi nawnto angzo ueloe,
Enoch, seven generations on from Adam, spoke prophetically about these people: “Look! The Lord is coming, together with thousands and thousands of his holy ones
15 kaminawk boih lokcaek tih, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk boih mah a sak o ih zaehaih baktih, sethaih kawng kathui kazae kaminawk mah Anih kasae thuih o ih zaehaih baktih toengah lokcaek boih tih.
to judge everyone, to reveal all the wicked things people have done, and all the terrible things hostile sinners have said against him.”
16 To kaminawk loe laisaep thaih kami, kasae thui thaih kami, angmacae taksa koehhaih baktiah caeh kami ah oh o; nihcae loe amoekhaih lokthui kami, angmacae amekhaih hnuk hanah minawk pahlaw thaih kami ah oh o.
Such people are grumblers, always complaining. They follow their own evil desires, speaking boastfully about themselves, and flattering others to get what they want.
17 Toe palung ih kaminawk, Aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri mah patoeh ih kami ah kaom kaminawk mah ang thuih o ih lok to panoek oh;
But you, my dear friends, please remember what you were told by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18 nihcae mah nangcae khaeah, Hnukkhuem niah loe, Sithaw koehhaih na ai ah, angmacae taksa koehhaih bangah caeh kaminawk hoi minawk kasae thuih koeh kaminawk to angzo o tih, tiah ang thuih o boeh.
They explained to you that in the last times mockers would come, following their own wicked desires.
19 Nihcae loe nangcae tapraek kami, long taksa koehhaih patom kami, Muithla tawn ai kami ah oh o.
They cause divisions; they are worldly people who don't have the Spirit.
20 Toe palung ih kaminawk, Nangcae loe paroeai ciimcai tanghaih ah qoeng o tahang ah loe, Ciimcai Muithla ah lawkthui oh.
But you, my friends, are to build yourselves up through your trust in God. Pray in the Holy Spirit,
21 Nangcae loe Sithaw amlunghaih ah om oh loe, dungzan hing hanah aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri palungnathaih to khen oh. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves safe in God's love, and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ who brings eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Pathlaeng thaihaih tawn oh loe, thoemto kaminawk tahmenhaih palungthin to tawn oh:
Show kindness to those who doubt.
23 taksa zaehaih kakap khukbuen to hnuma oh, zithaih palungthin hoiah thoemto kaminawk to hmai thung hoiah pahlong oh.
Save those you can by snatching them out of the fire. Show mercy—but with great care, hating even the “clothing” that is contaminated by sinful human nature.
24 Nangcae amthaek naah pathawkkung, lensawk angmah hmaa ah thuilaek ai anghoehaih hoiah zaehoikung,
Now to him who can keep you from falling, and who can bring you into his glorious presence without fault, and with great joy,
25 lensawkhaih hoi saiqathaih, ukhaih hoi thacakhaih loe palungha aicae pahlongkung Sithaw khae khue ah, vaihi hoi dungzan khoek to om poe nasoe. Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time, now, and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
