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 bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, sanctified in 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, making all diligence to write to you about the common salvation, I had need to write to you exhorting you to earnestly contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the sanctified.
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 have sneaked in, those written about formerly for this condemnation, irreverent men, perverting the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying our only Master God, 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,
Now I want to remind you, ye having known this once, 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)
And the agents who did not keep their own principality, but left their own habitation, he has kept reserved in eternal 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)
As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, the same kind of way with these who indulged in fornication, and who went rear of queer flesh, are set forth an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Alligevel gaa ogsaa disse ligedan i Drømme og besmitte Kød, foragte Herskab og bespotte Herligheder.
Nevertheless in the same way also these men who dream, indeed defile flesh, and reject lordship, and speak evil of 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!‟
But Michael the arch-agent, when he disputed with the devil, contending about the body of Moses, dared not bring a railing judgment, but said, May 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 men indeed revile whatever they have not seen. But whatever they understand naturally, as the irrational beasts, in these things they are corrupted.
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! Because they went in the way of Cain, and rushed to the error of Balaam's reward, and 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 are reefs in your love-feasts, feasting together, fearlessly tending to themselves, waterless clouds carried along by winds, autumn trees without fruit, who died twice having being uprooted,
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 gloom of darkness has been reserved into an age. (aiōn g165)
14 Men om disse har ogsaa Enok, den syvende fra Adam, profeteret, da han sagde: „Se, Herren kom med sine hellige Titusinder
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, Behold, the Lord came with 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 against all, and to convict all the irreverent of them about all the works of their own irreverence that they have done irreverently, and about all the harsh things that irreverent 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 grumblers, fault-finders, going according to their lusts, and their mouth speaks overblown things, marveling personages for the sake of advantage.
17 I derimod, I elskede! kommer de Ord i Hu, som forud ere talte af vor Herres Jesu Kristi Apostle;
But ye, beloved, remember the sayings previously 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 there will be scoffers during the last time, going according to their own desires of irreverences.
19 Disse ere de, som volde Splittelser, sjælelige, som ikke have Aand.
These are those who make divisions, world-soul men, not having Spirit.
20 I derimod, I elskede! opbygger eder selv paa eders helligste Tro; beder i den Helligaand;
But ye beloved, building up yourselves 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, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Og revser nogle, naar de tvivle,
And on some be ye merciful-being discerning.
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 in fear save some, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment that was 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 non-stumbling, and to present before his glory, unblemished in gladness,
