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 those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Barmhjertighed og Fred og Kærlighed vorde eder mangfoldig til Del!
Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.
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 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 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 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 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, 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 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)
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 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 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 g166)
8 Alligevel gaa ogsaa disse ligedan i Drømme og besmitte Kød, foragte Herskab og bespotte Herligheder.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
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 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 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 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 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, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in Korah's rebellion.
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 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 vilde Bølger paa Hav, som udskumme deres egen Skam; vildfarende Stjerner; for dem er Mørke og Mulm bevaret til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness 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
About these also Hanoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten 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 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 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 and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 I derimod, I elskede! kommer de Ord i Hu, som forud ere talte af vor Herres Jesu Kristi Apostle;
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before 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.
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
19 Disse ere de, som volde Splittelser, sjælelige, som ikke have Aand.
These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 I derimod, I elskede! opbygger eder selv paa eders helligste Tro; beder i den Helligaand;
But you, beloved, keep building yourselves up in 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 to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Og revser nogle, naar de tvivle,
And be merciful on those who doubt,
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 some save, snatching them out of the fire, and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the clothing 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 you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great 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 Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
