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.
Judas, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those called, having been loved in God [the] Father, and having been kept in Jesus Christ,
2 Mwen mande pou li gen pitye pou nou, pou li ban nou kè poze ak renmen an kantite.
mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you!
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, using all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting [you] to fight for the faith once delivered to the holy ones,
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 came in certain men stealthily, having been written beforehand to this judgment long ago, impious, perverting the grace of our God to licentiousness, 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 intend to remind you, you once having known all this, that Jesus, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, He secondly destroyed those not having believed;
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)
messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness until [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)
as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these [messengers], having given themselves to whoredom, and having gone after other flesh, have been set before [as] an example, undergoing the justice of continuous 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.
In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming indeed defile the flesh, and they disregard lordship, and they speak evil of glorious [ones],
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.
yet Michael, the chief messenger, when disputing with the Devil, reasoning about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against [him] a judgment of slander, but said, “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, indeed, whatever [things] they have not known, they speak evil of; and whatever [they know], like the irrational beasts, they understand naturally—in these they are corrupted;
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! Because they went on in the way of Cain, and they rushed to the deceit of Balaam for reward, and in the controversy of Korah they perished.
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 stains at your love-feasts, feasting together with you without fear, shepherding themselves; waterless clouds, being carried away by winds; autumnal trees without fruit, having died twice, having been uprooted;
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 a sea, foaming up their own shameful [deeds]; stars going astray, for whom the gloom of the darkness throughout the age has been kept. (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.
And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied to these, saying, “Behold, the LORD has come with myriads 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 do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the harsh [words] that impious sinners spoke 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 discontented grumblers, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaks swollen words, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;
17 Men, nou menm, zanmi m' yo, toujou chonje paròl apòt Segnè Jezikri yo te di nou davans lan.
but you, beloved, remember the sayings 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.
that they said to you, that in the last time there will be scoffers, following after their own lusts of impieties,
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 those causing divisions, natural men, 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, building yourselves up on 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, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [resulting] in continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
22 Gen pitye pou frè yo ki nan doutans toujou.
and, indeed, show mercy to those who are doubting,
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 rescue others by snatching [them] out of fire; but show mercy to others in fear, hating even the coat having been stained from 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.
And to Him who is able to guard you without stumbling, and to set [you] in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,
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 wise God our Savior, [is] glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and forever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
