1 耶穌基督的僕人,雅各伯的弟兄猶達,致書給在天主父內蒙愛,為耶穌基督而保存的蒙召者。
Judas, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those called, having been loved in God [the] Father, and having been kept in Jesus Christ,
2 願仁慈、平安、愛情豐富地賜予你們。
mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you!
3 親愛的,我早已切望給你們寫信,討論我們共享的就恩;但現在不得不給你們寫信,勸勉你們應奮鬥,維護從前一次而永遠傳與聖徒的信仰。
Beloved, using all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting [you] to fight for the faith once delivered to the holy ones,
4 因為有些早已被注定要受這審判的人,潛入你們中間;他們是邪惡的人,竟把我們天主的恩寵,變為放縱情慾的機會,並否認我們獨一的主宰和主耶穌基督。
for there came in certain men stealthily, having been written beforehand to this judgment long ago, impious, perverting the grace of our God to licentiousness, and denying our only Master and Lord—Jesus Christ.
5 雖然你們一次而永遠知道這一切,但我仍願提醒你們:主固然由埃及地救出了百姓,隨後卻把那些不信的人消滅了;
Now I intend to remind you, you once having known all this, that Jesus, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, He secondly destroyed those not having believed;
6 至於那些沒有保持自己尊位,而離棄自己居所的天使,主也用永遠的鎖鏈,把他們拘留在幽暗中,以等候那偉大日子的審判; (aïdios g126)
messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness until [the] judgment of [the] great day, (aïdios g126)
7 同樣,索多瑪和哈摩辣及其附近的城市,因為也和他們一樣恣意行淫,隨從逆性的肉慾,至今受著永火的刑罰,作為鑑戒。 (aiōnios g166)
as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these [messengers], having given themselves to whoredom, and having gone after other flesh, have been set before [as] an example, undergoing the justice of continuous fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 可是這些作夢的人照樣玷污肉身,拒絕主權者,褻瀆眾尊榮者。
In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming indeed defile the flesh, and they disregard lordship, and they speak evil of glorious [ones],
9 當總領天使彌額爾,為了梅瑟的屍體和魔鬼激烈爭辯時,尚且不敢以侮辱的言詞下判決,而只說:「願主叱責你!」
yet Michael, the chief messenger, when disputing with the Devil, reasoning about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against [him] a judgment of slander, but said, “The LORD rebuke you!”
10 這些人卻不然,凡他們所不明白的事就褻瀆,而他們按本性所體驗的事,卻像無理性的牲畜一樣,就在這些事上敗壞自己。
But these, indeed, whatever [things] they have not known, they speak evil of; and whatever [they know], like the irrational beasts, they understand naturally—in these they are corrupted;
11 這些人是有禍的!因為他們走了加音的路,為圖利而自陷於巴郎的錯誤,並因科辣黑一樣的判逆,而自取滅亡。
woe to them! Because they went on in the way of Cain, and they rushed to the deceit of Balaam for reward, and in the controversy of Korah they perished.
12 這些人是你們愛宴上的污點,他們同人宴樂,毫無廉恥,只顧自肥;他們像無水的浮雲,隨風飄盪;又像晚秋不結果實,死了又死,該連根拔出來的樹木;
These are stains at your love-feasts, feasting together with you without fear, shepherding themselves; waterless clouds, being carried away by winds; autumnal trees without fruit, having died twice, having been uprooted;
13 像海裏的怒濤,四下飛濺他們無恥的白沫;又像出軌的行星;為他們所存留的,乃是直到永遠的黑暗的幽冥。 (aiōn g165)
wild waves of a sea, foaming up their own shameful [deeds]; stars going astray, for whom the gloom of the darkness throughout the age has been kept. (aiōn g165)
14 針對這些人,亞當後第七代聖祖哈諾客也曾預言說:「看,主帶著他千萬的聖者降來,
And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied to these, saying, “Behold, the LORD has come with myriads of His holy ones,
15 要審判眾人,指證一切惡人所行的一切的惡事,和邪辟的人所說的一切褻瀆他的言語。」
to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the harsh [words] that impious sinners spoke against Him.”
16 這些人好出怨言,不滿命運;按照自己的私慾行事,他們的口好說大話,為了利益而奉承他人。
These are discontented grumblers, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaks swollen words, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;
17 但是,你們,親愛的,你們要記得我們的主耶穌基督的宗徒所預言過的話,
but you, beloved, remember the sayings spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 他們曾向你們說過:「到末期,必有一些好嘲弄人的人,按照他們個人邪惡的私慾行事。」
that they said to you, that in the last time there will be scoffers, following after their own lusts of impieties,
19 這就是那些好分黨分派,屬於血肉,沒有聖神的人。
these are those causing divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.
20 可是,你們,親愛的,你們要把自己建築在你們至聖的信德上,在聖神內祈禱;
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 這樣保存你們自己常在天主的愛內,期望賴我們的主耶穌基督的仁慈,入於永生。 (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [resulting] in continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
22 對那些懷疑不信的人,你們要說服;
and, indeed, show mercy to those who are doubting,
23 對另一些人,你們要拯救,把他們從火裏拉出來;但對另一些人,你們固然要憐憫,可是應存戒懼的心,甚至連他們肉身所玷污了的內衣,也要憎惡。
and rescue others by snatching [them] out of fire; but show mercy to others in fear, hating even the coat having been stained from the flesh.
24 願那能保護你們不失足,並能叫你們無瑕地,在歡躍中立在他光榮面前的,
And to Him who is able to guard you without stumbling, and to set [you] in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,
25 惟一的天主,我們的救主,藉我們的主耶穌基督,獲享光榮、尊威、主權和能力,於萬世之前,現在,至於無窮之世。阿們。 (aiōn g165)
to the only wise God our Savior, [is] glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and forever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
