Jude 1
1 To those who, having received the call, have been loved by God the Father and protected by Jesus Christ, From Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and the brother of James.
Jisuh Khrih e a san, Jem e a nawngha kai Judah ni, Cathut ni a lungpataw teh Jisuh Khrih ni a kaw e taminaw ca na patawn awh.
2 May mercy, peace, and love be yours in ever increasing measure.
Lungmanae, lungmawngnae, hoi lungpatawnae teh nangmouh koe pung lawiseh.
3 Dear friends, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I felt that I must write to you at once to encourage you to fight in defense of the faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s people.
Ka lungpataw e ka huinaw, maimouh ni cungtalah hmawng awh e rungngangnae kong hah ka thut teh nangmouh koe na patawn a hanelah thouk ka panki. Tami kathoungnaw koe apuengcue vah a poe tangcoung e yuemnae phung koe lah na kâyawm awh teh na tuk awh nahan, na hroecoe awh teh na uen awh.
4 For there have crept in among you certain godless people, whose sentence has long since been pronounced, and who make the mercy of God an excuse for profligacy, and disown our only lord and master, Jesus Christ.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e a lungmanae hah, amae ngainae koe lah a pakhuppathan teh, maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih hah ka hnoun niteh, apuengcue hoi yonphukhangnae, noutnae a ta tangcoung e tami kaponaw arulahoi duem a kâen awh.
5 Now I want to remind you – but you already know it all – that, though the Lord delivered the people from Egypt, yet he afterward destroyed those who refused to believe in him;
Hatdawkvah, na panue awh tangcoung e ei, na kâhruetcuet awh nahanelah bout ka dei ngai e teh, a yungyoe ka hring e Cathut ni Isarelnaw hah Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai nah ka yuem hoeh e naw hah bout a raphoe.
6 and that even those angels, who did not keep to their appointed spheres, but left their proper homes, have been kept by him for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains and black darkness. (aïdios g126)
Hothloilah, amamae hmuen dawk awm laipalah, amamae hmuen ka cettakhai awh e kalvantaminaw hah lawkcengnae hnin kalenpoung dawk lawkceng hanelah hmonae thungvah a yungyoe kateknae lahoi a paung. (aïdios g126)
7 Like Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns near them, which gave themselves up to fornication, and fell into unnatural vice, these angels now stand out as a warning, undergoing, as they are, punishment in eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Hot patetvanlah, Sodom hoi Komorah kho koehoi kamtawng teh, a tengpam e khonaw pueng ni, ahmaloe dei tangcoung e tami kaponaw patetlah kamsoumhoehe yonnae hah a sak awh teh, mae yu hoeh e naw hoi a yon awh teh, a hring awh dawkvah, a yungyoe e hmai hoi reknae a khang awh teh khetsin hanelah sut a kamnue. (aiōnios g166)
8 Yet in the same way these people, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the celestial beings.
Hot boiboe lah, hot patet e taminaw niteh, amamae a takthai a khin sak awh teh, kâtawnnae a oun awh. Bawilennae hoi kaawm e taminaw hah a pathoe awh.
9 Yet even Michael, the archangel, when, in his dispute with the devil, he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to charge him with maligning, but said merely ‘The Lord rebuke you!’
Hatei, kalvantaminaw ukkung bawi Mikel niteh, Mosi e tak hah kahraimathout hoi a kâlawp roi navah, tha hoi oun laipalah, Cathut ni mah na yue lawiseh telah doeh atipouh.
10 But these people malign whatever they do not understand; while they use such things as they know by instinct (like the animals that have no reason) for their own corruption.
Hote taminaw teh, amamouh ni a panue awh hoeh e hah a pathoe awh. Saringnaw patetlah amamouh ni a panue awh e hoi amahoima a kâparo awh.
11 Alas for them! They walk in the steps of Cain; led astray by Balaam’s love of gain, they plunge into sin, and meet their ruin through rebellion like Korah.
Ahnimouh teh yawthoe lah ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Kain hnuk a kâbang awh. Aphu hmu hane ngai lahoi yah, Balaam a yon e patetlah a yon awh. Korah e a yon e lahoi rawknae koe a pha awh.
12 These are the people who are blots on your ‘love-feasts,’ when they feast together and provide without scruple for themselves alone. They are clouds without rain, driven before the winds; they are leafless trees without a vestige of fruit, dead through and through, torn up by the roots;
Lungpatawnae pawi koe rei kacatnaw hah barinae tawn laipalah, a kâsokâroum awh teh min mathoenae hoi ao awh. Kahlî ni a palek e tui laipalah e tâmai patetlah ao awh. Kawt ka kamyai niteh, a paw paw laipalah, vai hni touh kadout niteh, phawk lah kaawm e thingkung patetlah ao awh.
13 they are wild sea waves, foaming with their own shame; they are ‘wandering stars,’ for which the blackest darkness has been reserved for ever. (aiōn g165)
Kayanae ka phuen sak e tuicapa patetlah Âsi kamleng e patetlah ao awh. Hote Âsi kamleng e naw hanelah a yungyoe hmonae teh sut ta e lah ao. (aiōn g165)
14 To these people, as to others, Enoch, the seventh in descent from Adam, declared – ‘See! The Lord has come with his hosts of holy ones around him,
Adam e a catoun, a se sarinae, Enok ni Cathut teh touklek thai hoeh e a tami kathoungnaw hoi a tho a han ti teh profet lawk lahoi a dei.
15 to execute judgment on all people, and to convict all godless people of all their godless acts, which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the harsh words which they have spoken against him, godless sinners that they are!’
A tho toteh cathutlaipa e taminaw ni cathutlaipa lah amamae hnosak e patetlah, cathutlaipa e taminaw ni Cathut banglahai a noutna awh hoeh e lawk kahram a dei awh e patetlah tami pueng lawk a ceng han.
16 These people are always murmuring, and complaining of their lot; they follow where their passions lead them; they have arrogant words on their lips; and they flatter others for the sake of what they can get from them.
Ahnimanaw teh, cairing laihoi ayâ yon ka pen e tami, mae takngai e patetlah ka hring awh e tami, kâoupnae lawk ka dei e tami, ma hane hawinae dawk dueng ayânaw ka oup e tami lah ao awh.
17 But you should, dear friends, recall what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ka lungpataw e naw, a hnukteng e atueng dawkvah, mae cathutlaipa radueknae dawk ka hring awh niteh,
18 how they used to say to you – ‘As time draws to an end, there will be scoffers, who will be led by their godless passions.’
ka pacekpahlek e taminaw teh a tho awh han titeh, maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e gunceinaw ni sut a dei awh e lawk hah pâkuem awh.
19 These are the people – animal and unspiritual – who cause divisions.
Ahnimouh teh nangmouh na kapek hane tami, takngainae dawk dueng ka hring a niteh, kathounge muitha tawn awh hoeh.
20 But you must, dear friends, build up your characters on the foundation of your most holy faith, pray under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
Ka lungpataw e ka huinaw, ka thoung poung e yuemnae dawkvah, namahoima roung awh nateh, Kathoung Muitha lahoi ratoum awh.
21 and keep within the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to bring you to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Cathut lungpatawnae dawk awm awh nateh, a yungyoe hringnae koe na hrawi han ti hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a lungmanae hah ngaihawi awh. (aiōnios g166)
22 To some show pity, because they are in doubt. ‘Drag them out of the fire,’ and save them.
Lunghringnae hoi kaawmnaw hah pahren awh.
23 To others show pity, but with caution, hating the clothing polluted by their touch.
Takthai ngainae lahoi kakhine khohna hah panuet awh. Tami tangawn hah hmai thung hoi rasat awh nateh rungngang awh, takinae hoi pahren awh.
24 To him who is able to guard you from falling, and to bring you into his glorious presence, blameless and rejoicing –
Rawpnae dawk hoi a hlout awh teh nangmouh na khenyawn thai e, yonnae awm laipalah, lunghawinae hoi kakawi e nangmouh hah bawilennae hmalah na ka thak thai e,
25 to the one God, our Savior, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, glory, majesty, power, and dominion, as it was before time began, is now, and will be for all time to come. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Maimouh na ka Rungngangkung, Bawi buet touh dueng e Cathut ni, maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih lahoi bawilennae, taluenae, uknae, hoi bahu teh atu hoi a yungyoe ditouh awm yungyoe lawiseh! Amen. (aiōn g165)
