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).
Jude serviteur de Jésus-Christ, et frère de Jacques, à ceux qui ont été appelés [par l'Evangile], que Dieu a sanctifiés et Jésus-Christ a conservés.
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].
Que la miséricorde, la paix, et l'amour vous soient multipliés.
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]}.
Mes bien-aimés, comme je m'étudie entièrement à vous écrire du salut [qui nous est] commun, il m'a été nécessaire de vous écrire pour vous exhorter à soutenir le combat pour la foi qui a été une fois donnée aux Saints.
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].
Car quelques-uns se sont glissés [parmi vous], qui dès longtemps auparavant ont été écrits pour une telle condamnation; gens sans piété, qui changent la grâce de notre Dieu en dissolution, et qui renoncent le seul Dominateur Jésus-Christ notre Dieu et Seigneur.
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].
Or je veux vous faire souvenir d'une chose que vous savez déjà, [c'est] que le Seigneur ayant délivré le peuple du pays d'Egypte, il détruisit ensuite ceux qui n'avaient point cru;
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)
Et qu'il a réservé sous l'obscurité, dans des liens éternels, jusqu'au jugement de la grande journée, les Anges qui n'ont pas gardé leur origine, mais qui ont abandonné leur propre demeure; (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)
[Et] que Sodome et Gomorrhe, et les villes voisines qui s'étaient abandonnées en la même manière que celles-ci, à l'impureté, et qui avaient couru après les péchés contre nature, ont été mises pour servir d'exemple, ayant reçu la punition du feu éternel; (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].
Nonobstant cela ceux-ci tout de même s'étant endormis [dans le vice], souillent [leur] chair, méprisent la domination, et blâment les dignités.
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!”
Et néanmoins Michel l'Archange, quand il contestait disputant avec le Démon touchant le corps de Moïse, n'osa point prononcer de sentence de malédiction, mais il dit seulement: que le Seigneur te censure fortement!
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}.
Mais ceux-ci médisent de tout ce qu'ils n'entendent point, et se corrompent en tout ce qu'ils connaissent naturellement, comme font les bêtes brutes.
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].
Malheur à eux, car ils ont suivi le train de Caïn, et ont couru, par un égarement [tel que celui] de Balaam, [après] la récompense, et ont péri par une contradiction [semblable à celle] de Coré.
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.
Ceux-ci sont des taches dans vos repas de charité, en prenant leurs repas avec vous, et se repaissant eux-mêmes sans crainte; [ce] sont des nuées sans eau, emportées des vents çà et là; des arbres dont le fruit se pourrit, et sans fruit, deux fois morts, et déracinés;
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)
Des vagues impétueuses de la mer, jetant l'écume de leurs impuretés; des étoiles errantes, à qui l'obscurité des ténèbres est réservée éternellement. (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
Desquels aussi Enoch, septième homme après Adam, a prophétisé, en disant:
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.”
Voici, le Seigneur est venu avec ses Saints, qui sont par millions, pour juger tous les hommes, et pour convaincre tous les méchants d'entre eux de toutes leurs méchantes actions qu'ils ont commises méchamment, et de toutes les paroles injurieuses que les pécheurs impies ont proférées contre lui.
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.
Ce sont des murmurateurs, des querelleurs, se conduisant selon leurs convoitises, dont la bouche prononce des discours fort enflés, et qui admirent les personnes pour le profit qui leur en revient.
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}.
Mais vous, mes bien-aimés, souvenez vous des paroles qui ont été dites auparavant par les Apôtres de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
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.”
Et comment ils vous disaient, qu'au dernier temps il y aurait des moqueurs, qui marcheraient selon leurs impies convoitises.
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.
Ce sont ceux qui se séparent eux-mêmes, des gens sensuels, n'ayant point l'Esprit.
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.
Mais vous, mes bien-aimés, vous appuyant vous-mêmes sur votre très-sainte foi, et priant par le Saint-Esprit,
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)
Conservez-vous les uns les autres dans l'amour de Dieu, en attendant la miséricorde de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, pour [obtenir] la vie éternelle. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
Et ayez pitié des uns en usant de discrétion;
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}.
Et sauvez les autres par la frayeur, les arrachant comme hors du feu, et haïssez même la robe souillée par la chair.
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.
[Or] à celui qui est puissant pour vous garder sans que vous fassiez aucune chute et vous présenter irrépréhensibles devant sa gloire, avec joie;
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)
A Dieu, seul sage, notre Sauveur, soit gloire et magnificence, force, et empire dès maintenant et dans tous les siècles, Amen! (aiōn g165)
