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:
Judas, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Barmhjertighed og Fred og Kærlighed vorde eder mangfoldig til Del!
Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.
3 I elskede! da det lå mig alvorligt på 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 giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto 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 Nåde til Uterlighed og fornægte vor eneste Hersker og Herre Jesus Kristus.
For there are certain men crept in privily, [even] they who were of old set forth unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, 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 desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, how that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 og de Engle, som ikke bevarede deres Højhed, men forlode deres egen Bolig, bar han holdt forvarede i evige Lænker under Mørke til den store Dags Dom; (aïdios g126)
And angels which kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 ligesom Sodoma og Gomorra og de omliggende Stæder, der på samme Måde 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, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication, and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Alligevel gå også disse ligedan i Drømme og besmitte Kød, foragte Herskab og bespotte Herligheder.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought 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!"
But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, 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 whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.
11 Ve dem! thi de ere gåede på Kains Vej og have styrtet sig i Bileams Vildfarelse for Vindings Skyld og ere gåede til Grunde i Horas Genstridighed.
Woe unto them! for they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
12 Disse ere Skærene ved eders Kærlighedsmåltider, fordi de uden Undseelse frådse 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 they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 vilde Bølger på Hav, som udskumme deres egen Skam; vild farende 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 hath been reserved for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Men om disse har også Enok, den syvende fra Adam, profeteret, da han sagde: "Se, Herren kom med sine hellige Titusinder
And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came 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 upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, 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, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words]), shewing respect of persons 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 ye 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.
how that they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.
19 Disse ere de, som volde Splittelser, sjælelige, som ikke have Ånd.
These are they who make separations, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 I derimod, I elskede! opbygger eder selv på eders helligste Tro; beder i den Helligånd;
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 bevarer således 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, når de tvivle,
And on some have mercy, who are in doubt;
23 frelser andre ved at udrive dem af Ilden, forbarmer eder over andre med Frygt, så 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 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,
Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in 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, [be] glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
