Jude 1
1 [I am] Jude. I [serve] Jesus Christ [like] a voluntary slave [MET]. I am a [younger] brother of James, [the leader of all the congregations. I am writing] to you whom [God] has chosen [to belong to him. You are] loved by God [our] Father and protected by Jesus Christ (OR, whom [God] has protected [to present] to Jesus Christ).
Si Judas, usa ka sulugoon ni Jesu-Cristo, ug igsoon ni Santiago, alang niadtong tinawag, nga mga hinigugma sa Dios nga Amahan, ug nagtipig alang kang Jesu-Cristo:
2 [I pray that] you will continue to [experience] very much [God acting] mercifully toward you, [causing you to have inner] peace, and loving [you].
Hinaot nga ang kaluoy ug kalinaw ug gugma magmadagayaon diha kaninyo.
3 You whom I love, I (was very eager/very much wanted) to write to you about that which we all (share/have in common), which is how ([God/Jesus Christ]) [has] saved [us]. But now I realize that it is necessary [for me] to write to you in order to exhort you to defend the [truth about Christ] that we believe. [Jesus and his apostles] gave that truth once and for all to us who belong to God, [and we must not let it be changed] {[anyone revise/change it]}.
Mga hinigugma, samtang nagmakugi ako sa pagsulat nganha kaninyo mahitungod sa atong hiniusa nga kaluwasan, nagsulat ako kaninyo aron sa pag-awhag kaninyo nga makigbisog gayod sa pagtuo nga gitugyan sa makausa alang sa tanan nga mga magtutuo.
4 Some people falsely [teach that because] God kindly does for us what we do not deserve, it (does not matter/is all right) if we continue to sin. [Those people show by the way that they conduct their lives] that they do not want to admit/accept that Jesus Christ [is] our only Master and Lord. [It was written] long ago {[Someone] long ago wrote} that [God] would condemn (such ungodly people/people like that whose lives are displeasing to him). But some [of those] people have entered [MET] [like crawling snakes] into your congregations [and oppose the truth about Christ, so you must resist/oppose them].
Kay ang pipila ka mga tawo miyuhot sa tago diha kaninyo. Mao kining mga tawhana ang gipatikan na sa pagkahinukman sa silot. Sila mao ang mga dili-diosnon nga mga tawo nga nagbaylo sa grasya sa Dios ngadto sa kalaw-ayan, ug nga milimod sa atong bugtong Agalon ug Ginoo, si Jesu-Cristo.
5 Although you previously knew all these things, [there are certain things about] which I desire to remind you. [Do not forget that although] the Lord rescued [his people] from Egypt, he later destroyed most of those same people, ones who did not believe [in him].
Karon buot kong ipahinumdom kaninyo—bisan tuod nga nasayod na kamo niini—nga ang Ginoo nagluwas sa mga tawo pagawas sa kayutaan sa Ehipto, apan pagkahuman iyang gilaglag kadtong wala nagtuo.
6 And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios g126, questioned)
Ang mga anghel usab nga wala magbantay sa ilang mga kaugalingong kahimtang sa katungdanan, kondili mibiya sa ilang naandan nga tigomanang dapit—Ang Dios nagbutang kanila sa walay kataposang gapos nga kadena, sa tumang kangitngit, alang sa paghukom diha sa dakong adlaw. (aïdios g126)
7 Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
Sama kini sa Sodoma ug Gomora ug sa mga siyudad nga nakapalibot kanila, nga nagpatuyang usab sa ilang kaugalingon diha sa pagkamakihilawason ug nagpadayon sa dili-kasagarang mga tinguha. Nagpakita sila ingon nga mga panag-ingnan niadtong moantos sa silot sa kalayo nga walay kataposan. (aiōnios g166)
8 Similarly, these [ungodly people in your midst] also defile their own bodies [by living immorally], because [they claim/say that God revealed] in visions [that they should act that way]. They refuse to [allow] anyone to have authority over them, and they (revile/speak evil about) [God’s] glorious/wonderful [angels].
Apan sa samang paagi, kining mga nagdamgo usab naghugaw sa ilang mga lawas. Gisalikway nila ang katungod, ug misulti sila sa malaw-ayon nga mga butang batok sa usa nga mahimayaon.
9 When (the devil/Satan) argued with the chief angel, Michael, about [who would take away] the body of [the prophet] Moses [to bury it], Michael did not [do as these teachers of false doctrine do. Even though Michael has much more authority than they do], he did not disrespectfully (revile/say evil things to) Satan and accuse/condemn him. Instead, he [only] said, “[I desire that] the Lord [God] will rebuke you!”
Apan bisan gani si Michael nga arkanghel, sa dihang nakiglalis siya sa yawa ug nakig-away kaniya mahitungod sa lawas ni Moises, wala mangahas sa pagdala sa masipalaong paghukom batok kaniya. Hinuon misulti siya, “Hinaot nga ang Ginoo magbadlong kanimo!”
10 But the [ones in your midst] who teach false doctrine (revile/speak evil against) the [spiritual] beings that they do not understand. They also [do the evil things that they desire], things that they know about (naturally/without needing to think), things that they just do without considering [the consequences/results], like animals. So they destroy themselves. [But they will also be punished by God] {[God will also] punish them}.
Apan kining mga tawhana nagbutangbutang batok sa bisan unsa nga wala nila masabti. Ug unsa ang ilang nasabtan—nga walay kabuot nga mga mananap nasayod lang pinaagi sa awhag kinaiyahan—mao kini ang nakalaglag kanila.
11 [God will do] terrible things to those who teach false doctrine! They conduct their lives [wickedly] like Cain, [who murdered his brother because he was] ([jealous/angry because God accepted his brother’s sacrifice and did not accept his]). These false teachers (devote themselves to [MET] [doing] wrong things [like] Balaam, who [tried to induce God’s people to sin in order to get the money that was offered to him]. They will perish like Korah, who rebelled [against the authority that God gave to Moses].
Alaot sila! Kay naglakaw sila diha sa paagi ni Cain, ug misunod sa sayop nga ginansya ni Balaam. Nangalaglag sila sa pagsupak ni Kora.
12 Those teachers of false doctrine are [as dangerous to you as] [MET] (hidden rocks on a reef/rocks underneath the surface of the ocean) [are to a boat]. When you gather together [to eat the meals that] help you believers to love each other more and have a closer relationship with each other, they [join you and] carouse shamelessly, caring [only] for themselves [and not for others. Because they do not do anything to help others] [MET], they are [as useless as] clouds that are blown along by the wind {that the wind blows along} but that do not [produce/give] any rain. [They are as disappointing as] [MET] trees that do not produce fruit in the autumn [as we expect them to]. They are not only [spiritually] [MET] dead themselves, [but they are] not [able to cause others to be] alive [spiritually, just like] [MET] trees that have been {that [someone] has} uprooted and [as a result] are unable to produce any fruit.
Mao kini sila ang mga adunay tinagong kapagangan sa inyong kombira sa gugma. Nagkombira sila nga walay kaulaw, gipakaon lamang ang ilang mga kaugalingon. Mga panganod sila nga walay tubig, nga gipalid sa hangin. Sila ang nangalarag nga mga kahoy nga wala gayoy bunga—namatay sa makaduha, nangaibot ang mga gamot.
13 They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn g165, questioned)
Mga mabangis sila nga balod sa dagat, nga mibula sa ilang kaugalingong kaulaw. Sila ang nahisalaag nga mga bituon, kansang maitom nga kangitngit nga gitagana sa kahangtoran. (aiōn g165)
14 Enoch, the sixth [person in the line of people who descended] from Adam, prophesied this about those [teachers of false doctrine]: “Listen carefully to this: The Lord will certainly come with a countless number of his holy [angels] in order
Si Enoc, ang ikapito gikan kang Adan, nga nanagna mahitungod kanila, nga nag-ingon, “Tan-awa! Ang Ginoo moabot uban sa liboan ug liboan niyang mga Anghel.
15 to judge everyone, and to punish all wicked and (ungodly people/people whose lives are displeasing to God) for all the (ungodly things/things that displease God) that they did in (an ungodly way/a way that displeases God), and for all the harsh things that ungodly sinful people have spoken against him.”
Moanhi siya aron ipadangat ang paghukom sa tanan. Moanhi siya aron silotan ang tanan nga dili diosnon sa tanang mga buhat nga ilang nahuman sa dili diosnon nga paagi, ug sa tanang mapintas nga mga pulong nga gisulti sa mga dili diosnong makasasala batok kaniya.”
16 Those [teachers] of [false doctrine] grumble [about] the [things that God does]. They complain [about what happens to them]. They do the sinful things that their [bodies] desire. They talk boastfully. They (flatter/say nice things to) people, only in order to get [those people to give them the] things that they want.
Mao kini ang mga bagulbolan, reklamador, nga misunod sa daotan nilang mga tinguha. Sila mao ang kusog manghambog, nga alang sa ilang kaugalingong pamintaha, pag-ulog-ulog sa uban.
17 But you people whom I love need to remember the things that were predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ {that the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen}.
Apan kamo, mga hinigugma, hinumdomi ang mga gipamulong kaniadto pinaagi sa mga apostoles sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo.
18 They told you, “In the final period of time [in which we are now living] there will be people who will laugh at [the truths that God has revealed]. They will do the (ungodly things/things that are displeasing to God) that their [bodies] desire.”
Miingon sila kaninyo, “Sa kataposang mga panahon adunay mga mabiaybiayon nga mosunod sa ilang kaugalingong mga tinguha nga dili-diosnon.”
19 [That describes] the teachers of false doctrine [well, because] they are the ones who cause divisions among believers. They do what their own minds tell them to do. The Spirit [of God] does not live within them.
Kining mga tawhana nagkabahinbahin. Sila mga kalibotanon, ug wala sila makabaton sa Espiritu.
20 But you people whom I love, (hold/continue to trust) firmly to the very sacred truths that you believe. Pray by [letting] the Holy Spirit enable/empower you.
Apan kamo, mga hinigugma, tukora ang inyong mga kaugalingon sa inyong labing balaang pagtuo, ug pag-ampo diha sa Balaang Espiritu.
21 Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios g166)
Padayon kamo sa inyong mga kaugalingon diha sa gugma sa Dios, ug paghulat sa kaluoy sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo nga magdala kaninyo sa kinabuhing walay kataposan. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
Pagmaluloy-on niadtong nagduhaduha.
23 [Rescue] others from [the influence of those who teach what is false] [MET], [as you would rescue things by] snatching [them from] a fire. Pity those [whom the teachers of false doctrine have completely convinced], but beware that [you yourselves are not influenced by them] {that they do not influence you}. Detest [doing or even thinking about the sins that those people commit, just like you would detest] [MET] touching not only filthy things but the clothes that were stained by those things {that those things stained}.
Luwasa ang uban pinaagi sa pagsakmit kanila gikan sa kalayo. Pagmaluluy-on ngadto sa uban inubanan sa kahadlok. Dumti bisan ang bisti nga namansahan pinaagi sa unod.
24 God is able to keep you from ceasing to trust in him (OR, from sinning), and he is able to bring you into his glorious presence. [As you stand before him], there will be nothing [for which] you [will] be condemned {[he can] condemn you}, and you will be rejoicing greatly.
Karon ngadto sa usa nga makapalikay kaninyo gikan sa pagkapandol, ug maoy hinungdan nga kamo magtindog sa atubangan sa iyang mahimayaon nga presensya, nga walay ikasaway ug uban sa dakong kalipay,
25 He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
ngadto sa bugtong Dios nga atong Manluluwas pinaagi kang Ginoong Jesu-Cristo nga atong Ginoo, ang himaya, pagkahalangdon, pagdumala, ug gahom, sa wala pa ang tanang kapanahonan, karon, ug sa kahangtoran, Amen. (aiōn g165)
