< 猶大書 1 >
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。
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.
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, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
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 are certain people who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly people, turning the grace of our God into sensuality, 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 want to remind you, though you already know all these things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
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 )
Angels who did not keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
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 )
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of everlasting fire. (aiōnios )
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。
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
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!」
But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May 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 speak evil of whatever things they do not know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.
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. For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in Korah's rebellion.
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 hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
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 )
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn )
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,
About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten thousands 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 execute judgment on all, and to convict every person of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken 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 murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
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 words which have been 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。」
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
19 這就是那些好分黨分派,屬於血肉,沒有聖神的人。
These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, 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, keep building yourselves up in 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 )
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to everlasting life. (aiōnios )
And be merciful on those who doubt,
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 some save, snatching them out of the fire, and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the clothing stained by 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,
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
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 )
to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn )
