< 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, na alipin ni Jesucristo, at kapatid ni Santiago, sa mga tinawag, na minamahal sa Dios Ama, at iniingatang para kay Jesucristo:
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].
Kaawaan at kapayapaan at pagibig ang sa inyo nawa'y paramihin.
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 minamahal, samantalang ako'y totoong nagsisikap ng pagsulat sa inyo tungkol sa kaligtasan nating lahat, ay napilitan akong sumulat sa inyo na inaaralan kayong makipaglabang masikap dahil sa pananampalataya na ibinigay na minsan at magpakailan man sa mga banal.
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].
Sapagka't may ilang taong nagsipasok ng lihim, yaong mga itinalaga nang una pa sa kahatulang ito, mga di banal, na pinalitan ng kalibugan ang biyaya ng ating Dios, na itinatatuwa ang ating iisang Guro at Panginoong si Jesucristo.
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].
Ninanasa ko ngang ipaalaala sa inyo, bagama't nalalaman ninyong maigi ang lahat ng mga bagay, na nang mailigtas ng Panginoon ang isang bayan, sa lupain ng Egipto, ay nilipol niya pagkatapos yaong mga hindi nagsisipanampalataya.
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)
At ang mga anghel na hindi nangagingat ng kanilang sariling pamunuan, kundi iniwan ang kanilang sariling tahanan, ay iniingatan niya sa mga tanikalang walang hanggan sa paghuhukom sa dakilang araw. (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)
Gayon din ang Sodoma at Gomorra, at ang mga bayang nasa palibot ng mga ito, na dahil sa pagpapakabuyo sa pakikiapid at sa pagsunod sa ibang laman, ay inilagay na pinakahalimbawa, na sila'y nagbabata ng parusang apoy na walang hanggan. (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].
Gayon ma'y ang mga ito rin naman sa kanilang pagkagupiling ay inihahawa ang laman, at hinahamak ang mga paghahari, at nilalait ang mga puno.
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!”
Datapuwa't ang arkanghel Miguel, nang makipaglaban sa diablo, na nakikipagtalo tungkol sa katawan ni Moises, ay hindi nangahas gumamit laban sa kaniya ng isang hatol na may pagalipusta, kundi sinabi, Sawayin ka nawa ng Panginoon.
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}.
Datapuwa't ang mga ito'y nangalipusta sa anomang bagay na hindi nila nalalaman: at sa mga bagay na talagang kanilang nauunawa, ay nangagpapakasira na gaya ng mga kinapal na walang bait.
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].
Sa aba nila! sapagka't sila'y nagsilakad sa daan ni Cain, at nagsidaluhong na walang pagpipigil sa kamalian ni Balaam dahil sa upa, at nangapahamak sa pagsalangsang ni Core.
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.
Ang mga ito'y pawang mga batong natatago sa inyong piging ng pagiibigan, kung sila'y nakikipagpiging sa inyo, mga pastor na walang takot na nangagpapasabsab sa kanilang sarili; mga alapaap na walang tubig, na tinatangay ng mga hangin; mga punong kahoy sa taginaw na walang bunga, na makalawang namatay, na binunot pati ugat;
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 na alon sa dagat, na pinagbubula ang kanilang sariling kahihiyan; mga bituing gala na siyang pinaglaanan ng pusikit ng kadiliman magpakailan man. (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
At ang mga ito naman ang hinulaan ni Enoc, na ikapito sa bilang mula kay Adam, na nagsabi, Narito, dumating ang Panginoon, na kasama ang kaniyang mga laksalaksang banal,
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.”
Upang isagawa ang paghuhukom sa lahat, at upang sumbatan ang lahat ng masasama sa lahat ng kanilang mga gawang masasama na kanilang ginawang may kasamaan, at sa lahat ng mga bagay na mabibigat na sinalita laban sa kaniya ng mga makasalanang masasama.
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.
Ang mga ito'y mga mapagbulong, mga madaingin, na nangagsisilakad ayon sa kanilang masasamang pita (at ang kanilang bibig ay nangagsasalita ng mga kapalaluan), nangagpapakita ng galang sa mga tao dahil sa pakikinabangin.
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}.
Nguni't kayo, mga minamahal, ay alalahanin ninyo ang mga salitang nang una'y sinabi ng mga apostol ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo;
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.”
Kung paanong sinabi sa inyo, Magkakaroon ng mga manunuya sa huling panahon, na magsisilakad ayon sa kanikanilang masasamang pita.
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.
Ang mga ito ang nagsisigawa ng paghihiwalay, malalayaw, na walang taglay na 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.
Nguni't kayo, mga minamahal, papagtibayin ninyo ang inyong sarili sa inyong lubhang banal na pananampalataya, na manalangin sa Espiritu Santo,
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)
Na magsipanatili kayo sa pagibig sa Dios, na inyong asahan ang awa ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo sa ikabubuhay na walang hanggan. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
At ang ibang nagaalinlangan ay inyong kahabagan;
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}.
At ang iba'y inyong iligtas, na agawin ninyo sa apoy; at ang iba'y inyong kahabagan na may takot; na inyong kapootan pati ng damit na nadungisan ng laman.
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.
Ngayon doon sa makapagiingat sa inyo mula sa pagkatisod, at sa inyo'y makapaghaharap na walang kapintasan na may malaking galak, sa harapan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian.
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)
Sa iisang Dios na ating Tagapagligtas, sa pamamagitan ni Jesucristo na ating Panginoon, ay sumakaniya nawa ang kaluwalhatian, ang karangalan, ang paghahari, at ang kapangyarihan, sa kaunaunahang panahon, at ngayon at magpakailan man. Siya nawa. (aiōn g165)
