Judas, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Note tung ah hesuakna, thinnopna le itna te hong khang tahen.
Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.
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.
Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto 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 there are certain men crept in privily, [even] they who were of old set forth unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and 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.
Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, how that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed 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 angels which kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness 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 )
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication, and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as 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.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities.
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.
But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke 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 rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.
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 went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
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 they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, 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 )
Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been 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,
And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
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 convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
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, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words]), shewing respect of persons for the sake of advantage.
17 Ahihang ka it te awng, ih Topa Jesus Christ i sawltakte mai ah a son thu te phawktawn tung vun;
But ye, beloved, remember ye 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.
how that they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.
19 Tabang te sia pawlkhen te, Thaa nei ngawl, cilesa mi a hi uh hi.
These are they who make separations, sensual, 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 ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
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, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Khentel thei na nei in, mi pawlkhat te tung ah hesuakna nei tavun:
And on some have mercy, who are in doubt;
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.
and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
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 unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,
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, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen. (aiōn )
