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).
Judas, een dienaar van Jezus Christus, en broeder van Jakobus, aan de geroepenen, die in God den Vader bemind en door Jezus Christus bewaard zijn:
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].
barmhartigheid, en vrede, en liefde zij over ulieden vermenigvuldigd!
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]}.
Beminden, alle naarstigheid doende om u te schrijven over onze gemeenschappelijke verlossing, zoo was ik gedrongen om u te schrijven en te vermanen om toch kloek te strijden voor het geloof dat eenmaal aan de heiligen is overgeleverd,
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].
want er zijn sommige menschen ingekropen, die vroeger al te voren opgeschreven zijn tot dit oor deel, goddeloos, die de genade van onzen God veranderen in ontuchtigheid en die den eenigen Meester en onzen Heere Jezus Christus verloochenen.
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].
Maar ik wil u indachtig maken, u die dit alles eenmaal weet, dat de Heere, die zijn volk uit Egypte verlost had, voor de tweedemaal vernield heeft degenen die niet geloofden;
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)
en engelen, die hun eigen waardigheid niet bewaard hebben, maar die hun eigen woning verlaten hebben, heeft Hij in eeuwige boeien onder de duisternis bewaard tot het oordeel van den grooten dag. (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)
Gelijk Sodom en Gomorra en de omliggende steden, die op gelijke maniere als dezen hebben gehoereerd en ander vleesch hebben nageloopen, tot een voorbeeld gesteld zijn, dragende tot straf het eeuwig vuur. (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].
Zoo ook dezen ingeslapen zijnde verontreinigen het vleesch, en verachten de overheid, en lasteren de machten;
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!”
terwijl Michael de aartsengel, toen hij met den duivel verschil had, en twistte over het lichaam van Mozes, geen oordeel der lastering tegen hem durfde voortbrengen, maar zeide: de Heere zal u straffen!
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}.
Doch dezen lasteren al wat zij niet weten, en wat zij van nature weten, als de onredelijke dieren, daarin verderven zij zich zelven.
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].
Wee hunner, want den weg van Kaïn zijn zij opgegaan, en door de verleiding van Balaams loon zijn zij omgekomen, en door de oproerigheid van Korach zijn zij verdorven.
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.
Dezen zijn schandvlekken in uw liefdemaaltijden, onbevreesd medeaanzittende, zich zelven te goed doende, wolken zonder regen die door den wind omgedreven worden, boomen die in den herfst onvruchtbaar zijn, tweemaal gestorven, ontworteld,
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)
woeste baren der zee, hun eigen schande opwerpende, dwalende planeten, voor wie de donkerheid der duisternis tot in eeuwigheid bewaard is. (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
En van dezen heeft ook Enoch, de zevende van Adam, geprofeteerd, zeggende: ziet, de Heer is gekomen met zijn tien duizenden heiligen,
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.”
om het oordeel uit te voeren tegen allen en om al hun goddeloozen te straffen, vanwege al hun werken van goddeloosheid die zij goddelooslijk gedaan hebben, en vanwege al de smadelijke woorden die de goddelooze zondaars gesproken hebben.
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.
Dezen zijn murmureerders die altijd klagen, die wandelen naar hun begeerlijkheden, en wier mond opgeblazen dingen spreekt, den menschen lof toebrengende om des voordeels wil.
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}.
Doch gij, beminden, zijt gedachtig aan de woorden die voorzegd zijn van de apostelen van onzen Heer Jezus Christus,
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.”
die ulieden zeiden dat er in den laatsten tijd spotters zullen zijn, die naar hun eigen goddelooze begeerlijkheden wandelen.
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.
Dezen zijn het die afscheidingen maken, zinnelijke menschen, den Geest niet hebbende.
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.
Doch gij, beminden, u zelven opbouwende in uw allerheiligst geloof, biddende in den Heiligen Geest,
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)
moet gij u zelven bewaren in de liefde Gods, verwachtende de barmhartigheid van onzen Heere Jezus Christus, ten eeuwigen leven. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
En hebt medelijden met degenen die onbeslist zijn.
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}.
Redt anderen, hen uit het vuur trekkende; ontfermt u over nog anderen met vrees, hatende ook zelfs het kleed dat van het vleesch besmet is.
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.
Hem nu die machtig is u te bewaren van struikelen en u onbevlekt in vreugde te stellen voor het aangezicht zijner glorie,
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)
den eenigen God, onzen Verlosser, door Jezus Christus onzen Heere, zij glorie, majesteit, heerschappij en macht door alle eeuwen, en nu en tot in alle eeuwigheid! Amen. (aiōn g165)
