< Judina 1 >

1 Juda, sluga Isusa Krista, brat Jakovljev: ljubljenima u Bogu, Ocu, čuvanima za Isusa Krista - pozvanima.
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, to those who are called and sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Obilovali milošću, mirom i ljubavlju!
Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Ljubljeni! Dok sam u svojoj brižljivosti kanio pisati vam o našem zajedničkom spasenju, osjetio sam potrebu da vas pismom potaknem da vojujete za vjeru koja je jednom zauvijek predana svetima.
Beloved, although I was quite eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
4 Jer ušuljali se neki, odavna već zapisani za ovaj sud, bezbožnici koji milost Boga našega promeću u razuzdanost i niječu jedinoga gospodara i Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.
For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have crept in unnoticed. They are ungodly men who pervert the grace of our God, turning it into a license for sensuality. By doing so, they deny God, who is our only Master, and also the Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Želim vas podsjetiti, premda jednom zauvijek sve znate, kako je Gospodin izbavio narod iz Egipta, a zatim uništio nevjerne.
Now I want to remind you, although you already know this, that after the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.
6 I anđele, koji nisu čuvali svojeg dostojanstva nego su ostavili svoje prebivalište, sačuvao je za sud velikoga Dana, okovane u mraku vječnim okovima; (aïdios g126)
And the angels who did not keep within their proper domain, but left their own dwelling, he has kept under darkness in everlasting chains for the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 kao Sodoma i Gomora i okolni gradovi, koji su se poput njih podali bludu i otišli za drugom pÓuti, stoje za primjer, ispaštajući kaznu u vječnom ognju. (aiōnios g166)
Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in fornication and went after strange flesh in a manner similar to those angels, serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Uza sve to i ovi sanjari jednako skvrne tijelo, zabacuju Veličanstvo, pogrđuju Slave.
In the same way these ungodly men, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile glorious beings.
9 Kad se Mihael arkanđeo s đavlom prepirao za tijelo Mojsijevo, nije se usudio izreći pogrdan sud protiv njega, nego reče: “Spriječio te Gospodin!”
But when Michael the archangel was contending with the devil and disputing about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a reviling judgment against him, but said, “May the Lord rebuke yoʋ!”
10 A ovi pogrđuju ono što ne poznaju; a što po naravi kao nerazumne životinje poznaju, u tom trunu.
Yet these men slander whatever they do not understand, and they are corrupted by what they, like irrational beasts, instinctively comprehend.
11 Jao njima! Putom Kajinovim pođoše, i zabludi se Bileamovoj za plaću podaše, i propadoše od pobune Korahove.
Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, they rushed for reward to the error of Balaam, and they perished in the rebellion of Korah.
12 Oni su ljage na vašim agapama, bezobzirno se s vama gosteći i napasajući se; oblaci bezvodni što ih vjetrovi raznose, stabla besplodna u kasnoj jeseni, dvaput usahla, iskorijenjena,
These men are hidden reefs at your love feasts, feeding themselves as they feast among you without fear. They are clouds without water, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, pulled up by the roots.
13 bijesno morsko valovlje što ispjenjuje svoje sramote, zvijezde lutalice kojima je spremljena crna tmina dovijeka. (aiōn g165)
They are wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shameful deeds; wayward stars, for whom the thick gloom of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 O njima prorokova sedmi od Adama, Henok: “Gle, dođe Gospodin sa Desttisućama svojim
Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, “Behold, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones
15 suditi svima i pokarati sve bezbožnike za sva njihova bezbožna djela kojima bezbožno sagriješiše i za sve drzovite riječi koje grešni bezbožnici izrekoše protiv njega.”
to execute judgment against all and to convict all the ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way, and to convict ungodly sinners of all the harsh words they have spoken against him.”
16 To su rogoborni nezadovoljnici koji hode putom svojih požuda, usta im zbore naduto, ulaguju se u lice radi dobitka.
These men are grumblers and complainers, walking according to their own lusts. They speak bombastic words with their mouths, admiring people for their own advantage.
17 A vi, ljubljeni, sjetite se riječi što ih prorekoše apostoli Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.
But you, beloved, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold,
18 Oni vam govorahu: “U posljednje će vrijeme biti podrugljivaca koji će se povoditi za bezbožnim požudama svojim.”
how they said to you, “In the end times there will be scoffers who walk according to their own ungodly lusts.”
19 To su sijači razdora, sjetilnici koji nemaju Duha.
These people cause divisions; they are worldly and do not have the Spirit.
20 A vi, ljubljeni, naziđujte se na presvetoj vjeri svojoj moleći se u Duhu Svetom,
But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 uščuvajte se u ljubavi Božjoj, iščekujući milosrđe Gospodina našega Isusa Krista za vječni život. (aiōnios g166)
must keep yourselves in the love of God as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 I jedne, svadljivce, karajte,
Have mercy on some, using discernment;
23 druge spasavajte otimajući ih ognju, trećima se pak smilujte sa strahom, mrzeći i haljinu puti okaljanu.
and others save with fear by snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment that is stained by the flesh.
24 Onomu koji vas može očuvati od pada i besprijekorne postaviti pred svoju Slavu u klicanju -
Now to him who is able to keep them from falling and to make them stand unblemished in the presence of his glory with great joy,
25 jedinomu Bogu, Spasitelju našemu, po Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu: slava, veličanstvo, vlast i moć i prije svakoga vijeka, i sada, i u sve vijeke. Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, power and authority, both now and forevermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
