Judas 1
1 Judas, Jesu Kristi Tjener og Broder til Jakob, til de kaldede, som ere elskede i Gud Fader og bevarede for Jesus Kristus:
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, loved in God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ:
2 Barmhjertighed og Fred og Kærlighed vorde eder mangfoldig til Del!
Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
3 I elskede! da det laa mig alvorligt paa Sinde at skrive til eder om vor fælles Frelse, fandt jeg det nødvendigt at skrive til eder med Formaning om at stride for den Tro, som een Gang er bleven overgiven de hellige.
Beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you, I found it necessary to write to you concerning the common salvation, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
4 Thi der har indsneget sig nogle Mennesker, om hvem det for længe siden er forud skrevet, at de vilde falde under denne Dom: Ugudelige, som misbruge vor Guds Naade til Uterlighed og fornægte vor eneste Hersker og Herre Jesus Kristus.
For there have stealthily crept in certain men who were of old appointed beforehand for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into wantonness, and denying the only Sovereign, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Men skønt I een Gang for alle vide det alt sammen, vil jeg minde eder om, at da Herren havde frelst Folket ud af Ægyptens Land, ødelagde han næste Gang dem, som ikke troede,
But I wish to remind you as once knowing it all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not;
6 og de Engle, som ikke bevarede deres Højhed, men forlode deres egen Bolig, har han holdt forvarede i evige Lænker under Mørke til den store Dags Dom; (aïdios g126)
and the angels which kept not their principality, but left their own dwelling-place, he hath kept in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day; (aïdios g126)
7 ligesom Sodoma og Gomorra og de omliggende Stæder, der paa samme Maade som disse vare henfaldne til Utugt og gik efter fremmed Kød, ere satte til et Eksempel, idet de bære en evig Ilds Straf. (aiōnios g166)
even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving themselves over to fornication, and going away after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Alligevel gaa ogsaa disse ligedan i Drømme og besmitte Kød, foragte Herskab og bespotte Herligheder.
Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
9 Men Overengelen Mikael turde, da han tvistedes med Djævelen og talte om Mose Legeme, ikke fremføre en Bespottelsesdom, men sagde: „Herren straffe dig!‟
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the Devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke thee.
10 Disse derimod bespotte, hvad de ikke kende; og hvad de som de ufornuftige Dyr vide Besked om af Naturen, dermed ødelægge de sig selv.
But these rail at the things which they know not; but what things they understand naturally, as brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.
11 Ve dem! thi de ere gaaede paa Kains Vej og have styrtet sig i Bileams Vildfarelse for Vindings Skyld og ere gaaede til Grunde i Koras Genstridighed.
Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and rushed on in the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
12 Disse ere Skærene ved eders Kærlighedsmaaltider, fordi de uden Undseelse fraadse med og pleje sig selv; de ere vandløse Skyer, som drives forbi af Vinden; bladløse Træer uden Frugt, to Gange døde, oprykkede med Rode;
These are the rocks in your feasts of love, feasting together without fear, feeding only themselves; clouds without water, carried away by winds; trees in late autumn, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 vilde Bølger paa Hav, som udskumme deres egen Skam; vildfarende Stjerner; for dem er Mørke og Mulm bevaret til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Men om disse har ogsaa Enok, den syvende fra Adam, profeteret, da han sagde: „Se, Herren kom med sine hellige Titusinder
Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,
15 for at holde Dom over alle og straffe alle de ugudelige for alle deres Ugudeligheds Gerninger, som de have bedrevet, og for alle de formastelige Ord, som de have talt imod ham, de ugudelige Syndere!‟
to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly among them of all the deeds of their ungodliness which they committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners spoke against him.”
16 Disse ere de, som knurre, som klage over deres Skæbne, medens de vandre efter deres Begæringer, og deres Mund taler overmodige Ord, medens de for Fordels Skyld vise Beundring for Personer.
These are murmurers, complaining of their lot, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words; admiring men's persons, for the sake of profit.
17 I derimod, I elskede! kommer de Ord i Hu, som forud ere talte af vor Herres Jesu Kristi Apostle;
But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 thi de sagde eder: I den sidste Tid skal der være Spottere, som vandre efter deres Ugudeligheders Begæringer.
that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
19 Disse ere de, som volde Splittelser, sjælelige, som ikke have Aand.
These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 I derimod, I elskede! opbygger eder selv paa eders helligste Tro; beder i den Helligaand;
But do ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 bevarer saaledes eder selv i Guds Kærlighed, forventende vor Herres Jesu Kristi Barmhjertighed til evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Og revser nogle, naar de tvivle,
And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
23 frelser andre ved at udrive dem af Ilden, forbarmer eder over andre med Frygt, saa I hade endog den af Kødet besmittede Kjortel.
with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Men ham, som er mægtig til at bevare eder fra Fald og fremstille eder for sin Herlighed ulastelige i Fryd,
But to him that is able to keep them from falling, and to present them faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 den eneste Gud, vor Frelser ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus, tilkommer Ære og Majestæt, Vælde og Magt, forud for al Tid og nu og i alle Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, is glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
