Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James: to them that are beloved in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.
2 Note tung ah hesuakna, thinnopna le itna te hong khang tahen.
Mercy unto you, and peace, and charity be fulfilled.
3 Ka it te awng, ih nei khop tek ngupna thu note tung ah thasan in kong at tu ciang in, mithiangtho te tung ah a ki ap khawm pai upna thu atu, hanciam in kepcing tu thu lai thak in note kong hanthot tu kisam hi.
Dearly beloved, taking all care to write unto you concerning your common salvation, I was under a necessity to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
4 Banghangziam cile Pathian thuthiamna sia maizum heak ngawl na taw, khatbek a om Topa Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ nial a, mawna thukhenna thuak tu in nidang lai pek pan in nasep a ki piasa, Pathian nei ngawl te na kidop ngawl kal in hong tum hi.
For certain men are secretly entered in, (who were written of long ago unto this judgment, ) ungodly men, turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness, and denying the only sovereign Ruler, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Tua ahikom na heaksa uh hi napi, na phaw tawntung natu uh in kong sonnop thu sia, Topa in Israel mite Egypt ngam pan a suatak zawkciang in, a um ngawl te siatsua kik hi.
I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not:
6 Taciang amate dinmun masa keamcing ngawl in a ommun a nusia vantungmi te sia thukhenna ni thupi atu in khuamial sung ah tawntung thikkol taw hen in khum hi. (aïdios )
And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
7 Tasia bangma in Sodom, Gomorrah le a kim a om khuapite zong, a tung ah a sonsa bangma in, paktat mawna, ngualdang zi taw mawna sung ah a nuntak uh hu in, tawntung mei taw thukkikna a thuakna sia ette tu in koi hi. (aiōnios )
As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 Tasia bangma in hi phuatawm mangman te in pumpi vawtsia a, ukna thusimngawl in le mi minthangte phatngawlna son tawntung uh hi.
In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty.
9 A lianbel vantungmi Michael sia, Moses luanghawm taw kisai in doaimangpa taw thu a ki nial ciang zong, kamsia taw mawsiat ngam ngawl hi, ahihang, Topa in hong tei tahen, ci hi.
When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee.
10 Ahihang hi mite in amate i heak ngawl te sia a pha ngawl in son hi: a hitazong ngaisutna nei ngawl nganhing te bang in amate heakna in amate ma ngim pia hi.
But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.
11 Amate a mailam uh bing hi! banghangziam cile, Cain i lampi zui uh a, Balaam in a thaman tu in a khial bang in, duhop na taw Balaam nung pan del hon uh hi, taciang Korah bang in thu ki nial na pha ngawl hang in lalcip siat hi.
Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core.
12 Amate sia itna poai na vawt na mun uh ah ninteak te a hi uh hi, na kung uh ah an a neak uh ciang in lau ngawl in amate le amate ki bak uh hi: hui i mut keak nguatui ki hel ngawl meii; a nga pul siat in, a nga om ngawl, ni vei thi in, a zung pan a ki botkeak thingkung te a hi uh hi;
These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,
13 Tuipi sung ah tuihual ngilo a phuan suak bang in, amate maizumna tuiphuan le aksi vakthap bang hi uh a; amate atu in tawntung khuazing ngammial pi koisak khol hi. (aiōn )
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever. (aiōn )
14 Adam pan in khang sali na Enok zong in, hi thu te sonkhol zo hi, en vun, Topa sia a mithiangtho tulsawm te taw hongpai tu a,
Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints,
15 Mi theampo tung ah thukhen tu hi, Pathian nei ngawl te amate sep le vawt te ahizong, Pathian langpan in kamsia a pau uh te ahizong, ki langsak tu hi.
To execute judgment upon all, and to reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness, whereby they have done ungodly, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against God.
16 Hi mihing te sia a phun hat te, ngual mawsiat te, amate cilesa deina bang in a nungta te; a hi na uh sang in a valkai in kampau te, amate phattuam natu in ngualdang a sialpok te a hi uh hi.
These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires, and their mouth speaketh proud things, admiring persons for gain’s sake.
17 Ahihang ka it te awng, ih Topa Jesus Christ i sawltakte mai ah a son thu te phawktawn tung vun;
But you, my dearly beloved, be mindful of the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 Ni tawpkhak ni ciang ngual zawngsak te, amate Pathian nei ngawl te ngeina taksa deina bang in a nungta te om tu hi.
Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses.
19 Tabang te sia pawlkhen te, Thaa nei ngawl, cilesa mi a hi uh hi.
These are they, who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit.
20 Ahihang no ka it te awng, a thiangthobel na upna uh tung ah noma le noma inn bang in a khotak in ki sa vun a, Tha Thiangtho sung ah thungen vun,
But you, my beloved, building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Pathian itna sung ah noma le noma ki keamcing in, i Topa Jesus Christ i hesuakna sia tawntung nuntakna atu in ngak tavun. (aiōnios )
Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting. (aiōnios )
22 Khentel thei na nei in, mi pawlkhat te tung ah hesuakna nei tavun:
And some indeed reprove, being judged:
23 Cilesa deina taw a ki ninsak puansil nangawn ensan vun a, ngualdang te mei sung pan in dawkkik in; patau na taw hun vun.
But others save, pulling them out of the fire. And on others have mercy, in fear, hating also the spotted garment which is carnal.
24 Tu in na liik ngawl natu in, hong keam thei a, ama minthanna mai ah lungdamna lianpi taw maw nei ngawl in note hong ap tu pa,
Now to him who is able to preserve you without sin, and to present you spotless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
25 Ama bek a ciim Pathian ahi Ngumpa tung ah minthanna, vangletna, thahatna le thuneina sia, a bo sa hun theampo sung, tu le a tawntung in om tahen. Amen. (aiōn )
To the only God our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and magnificence, empire and power, before all ages, and now, and for all ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn )
