Jid 1
1 Mwen menm Jid, sèvitè Jezikri, frè Jak la, m'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, nou tout Bondye rele, nou menm k'ap viv ansanm nan renmen Bondye Papa a ak anba proteksyon Jezikri.
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Mwen mande pou li gen pitye pou nou, pou li ban nou kè poze ak renmen an kantite.
Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.
3 Zanmi m' yo, mwen pa t' manke anvi ekri nou pou m' te pale nou sou jan Bondye delivre nou tout ansanm lan. Men, m' blije ekri nou koulye a pou mwen kapab ankouraje nou, pou nou pran defans lafwa Bondye te bay yon sèl fwa pou tout tan an, pou tout moun pa l' yo.
Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
4 Paske, gen kèk mechan ki gen tan fofile kò yo nan mitan nou. Se moun ki san respè pou Bondye. Yo pran renmen Bondye renmen nou an sèvi yon kouvèti pou fè dezòd. Yo vire do bay Jezikri ki sèl Mèt ak sèl Segnè nou an. Depi lontan yo te ekri nan Liv la ki kalite kondannasyon k'ap tann moun sa yo.
For there are certain people who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly people, turning the grace of our God into sensuality, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Atout nou deja konnen tout bagay sa yo byen pròp, mwen vle fè nou chonje ki jan, lè Bondye te fin delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba moun Lejip yo, li te detwi tout moun ki pa t' kwè yo.
Now I want to remind you, though you already know all these things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 Chonje tou ki jan zanj ki pa t' rete nan pozisyon Bondye te ba yo a men ki te kite kote l' te mete yo a, Bondye kenbe yo nan mitan fènwa a, mare nan yon chenn ki p'ap janm kase. Se la y'ap tann gwo jou jijman an. (aïdios g126)
Angels who did not keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Menm jan an tou, chonje moun Sodòm ak Gomò ak tout ti bouk nan vwazinaj yo a. Yo te fè tankou zanj sa yo. Yo te lage kò yo nan tout kalite dezòd lachè, yo te menm rive nan fè gason ak gason, fi ak fi. Pou peni yo, yo lage yo nan dife k'ap boule tout tan an. Sa se yon egzanp ak yon avètisman pou tout moun. (aiōnios g166)
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Menm jan an tou, mesye sa yo, avèk tout vizyon y'ap plede fè yo, y'ap fè tout kalite vye bagay ak kò yo, y'ap meprize otorite Bondye, y'ap pale pouvwa ki nan syèl yo mal.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
9 Menm Akanj Michèl, lè li t'ap plede ak dyab la pou kadav Moyiz, li pa t' penmèt li jije dyab la yon jan pou l' te manke l' dega. Men, li annik di li: Mèt la va regle avè ou.
But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you."
10 Yo menm, okontrè, yo pale mal sou sa yo pa konprann. Bagay yo konnen se bagay ensten yo moutre yo tankou bèt ki san konprann. Se bagay sa yo menm k'ap pèdi yo.
But these speak evil of whatever things they do not know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.
11 Malè pou yo! Y'ap fè menm rout ak Kayen. Pou yo ka fè kòb, yo lage kò yo nan menm move chemen Balaram lan. y'a mouri tankou Kore ki te peri nan fè rebèl ak Bondye.
Woe to them. For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in Korah's rebellion.
12 Moun sa yo, se gate yo vin gate manje n'ap fè pou frè yo. Yo san ront konsa. Yo vin manje, yo vin bwè kont kò yo san chonje moun; se pròp tèt yo ase yo konnen. Yo tankou nwaj van ap gaye nan syèl la san bay lapli. Yo tankou pyebwa ki pa janm donnen, menm nan sezon rekòt. Wi, yo tankou pyebwa yo derasinen epi ki fin mouri nèt.
These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Yo tankou lanm lanmè lè lanmè a move. Y'ap pouse kim salte yo met deyò. Yo tankou zetwal ki pèdi rout yo. Bondye sere yon plas pou yo kote ki fè pi nwa a pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 Depi lontan, Enòk, ki te vin sèt jenerasyon apre Adan, te pale sou yo, lè l' te di: Koute. Men Bondye ap vini ak tout lame moun pa li yo.
About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
15 L'ap jije tout moun; l'ap kondannen tout mechan yo pou tout move bagay yo te fè kont Bondye. Moun sa yo ki te san respè pou Bondye, l'ap kondannen yo pou tout move paròl yo te di sou li.
to execute judgment on all, and to convict every person of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
16 Moun sa yo toujou ap bougonnen, y'ap plede plengnen sou sitiyasyon yo. Se enterè yo ase y'ap chache. Depi yo louvri bouch yo, se vante y'ap vante tèt yo. Y'ap flate tout moun pou yo tire avantaj sou yo.
These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 Men, nou menm, zanmi m' yo, toujou chonje paròl apòt Segnè Jezikri yo te di nou davans lan.
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18 Yo te di nou konsa: Lè dènye jou yo va rive, va gen anpil moun k'ap san respè pou bagay Bondye yo, moun k'ap pase nou anba betiz, moun k'ap viv dapre vye lide lanvi yo gengnen.
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
19 Se moun sa yo k'ap simen divizyon. Yo kite egzijans lachè dominen yo. Se pa Lespri Bondye a k'ap dirije lavi yo.
These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 Men, nou menm, mezanmi, annou kontinye grandi toujou nan konfyans nou k'ap fè nou viv pou Bondye nèt ale. Avèk pouvwa Sentespri a, annou lapriyè san rete.
But you, beloved, keep building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
21 Rete fèm nan renmen nou gen pou Bondye a, pandan n'ap tann Segnè nou, Jezikri, k'ap vin ban nou lavi ki p'ap fini an paske li gen pitye pou nou. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Gen pitye pou frè yo ki nan doutans toujou.
And be merciful on those who doubt,
23 Lonje men delivre yo, rache yo soti nan mitan dife a. Se pou nou gen pitye pou lòt moun yo tou. Men, fè atansyon, paske se pou nou rayi ata rad ki sou yo nan move lavi y'ap mennen an.
and some save, snatching them out of the fire, and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
24 Koulye a tout lwanj, tout grandè, tout pouvwa ak tout otorite pou yon sèl Bondye a, pou Bondye ki ka kenbe nou pou nou pa tonbe, li menm ki kapab fè nou parèt san repròch ak kè kontan devan l' nan tout bèl pouvwa li.
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
25 Li menm, sèl Bondye ki delivre nou gremesi Jezikri, Segnè nou an, wi, se pou li tout lwanj, tout grandè, tout pouvwa ak tout otorite, depi nan tan lontan, koulye a ak pou tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
