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 a brother of James, to those who are called and sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Barmhjertighed og Fred og Kærlighed vorde eder mangfoldig til Del!
Mercy, 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, 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 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 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 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,
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 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 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 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)
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 Alligevel gaa ogsaa disse ligedan i Drømme og besmitte Kød, foragte Herskab og bespotte Herligheder.
In the same way these ungodly men, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile glorious beings.
9 Men Overengelen Mikael turde, da han tvistedes med Djævelen og talte om Mose Legeme, ikke fremføre en Bespottelsesdom, men sagde: „Herren straffe dig!‟
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 Disse derimod bespotte, hvad de ikke kende; og hvad de som de ufornuftige Dyr vide Besked om af Naturen, dermed ødelægge de sig selv.
Yet these men slander whatever they do not understand, and they are corrupted by what they, like irrational beasts, instinctively comprehend.
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 went in the way of Cain, they rushed for reward to the error of Balaam, and they perished in the rebellion 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 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 vilde Bølger paa Hav, som udskumme deres egen Skam; vildfarende Stjerner; for dem er Mørke og Mulm bevaret til evig Tid. (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 Men om disse har ogsaa Enok, den syvende fra Adam, profeteret, da han sagde: „Se, Herren kom med sine hellige Titusinder
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 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 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 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 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 I derimod, I elskede! kommer de Ord i Hu, som forud ere talte af vor Herres Jesu Kristi Apostle;
But you, beloved, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold,
18 thi de sagde eder: I den sidste Tid skal der være Spottere, som vandre efter deres Ugudeligheders Begæringer.
how they said to you, “In the end times there will be scoffers who walk according to their own ungodly lusts.”
19 Disse ere de, som volde Splittelser, sjælelige, som ikke have Aand.
These people cause divisions; they are worldly and do not have the Spirit.
20 I derimod, I elskede! opbygger eder selv paa eders helligste Tro; beder i den Helligaand;
But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 bevarer saaledes eder selv i Guds Kærlighed, forventende vor Herres Jesu Kristi Barmhjertighed til evigt Liv. (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 Og revser nogle, naar de tvivle,
Have mercy on some, using discernment;
23 frelser andre ved at udrive dem af Ilden, forbarmer eder over andre med Frygt, saa I hade endog den af Kødet besmittede Kjortel.
and others save with fear by snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment that is stained by the flesh.
24 Men ham, som er mægtig til at bevare eder fra Fald og fremstille eder for sin Herlighed ulastelige i Fryd,
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,
