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, beloved in 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.
May 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, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I had to write to you to exhort you to struggle earnestly for the faith that was entrusted once for all to the holy people.
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 certain men have slipped in secretly among you. These are men who were marked out for condemnation. They are ungodly men who have changed the grace of our God into sensuality, and who deny 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 wish to remind you—although once you fully knew it—that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but that afterward he 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)
Also angels who did not keep to their own position of authority, but who left their proper dwelling place—God has kept them in everlasting chains, in utter darkness, for the judgment on 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)
It is just like Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, which also indulged themselves in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desires. They were displayed as examples of those who suffer the punishment in eternal 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 the same way, these dreamers also pollute their bodies. They reject authority, and they say slanderous things against the 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.
But even Michael the archangel, when he was arguing with the devil and disputing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous judgment against him. Instead he 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 people slander whatever they do not understand, and what they do understand—what unreasoning animals know by instinct—these are what destroy them.
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 have walked in the way of Cain and have plunged into Balaam's error for profit. They have 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 the ones who are hidden reefs in your love feasts, when they feast with you shamelessly—shepherds who only feed themselves. They are clouds without rain, carried along by winds. They are autumn trees without fruit—twice dead, torn 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)
They are violent waves in the sea, foaming out their own shame. They are wandering stars, for whom the gloom of thick 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.
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them, saying, “Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and 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.
He is coming to execute judgment on everyone. He is coming to convict all the ungodly of all the works they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh words that 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 grumblers, complainers, who follow their evil desires. They are loud boasters, who, for their own advantage, flatter others.
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 that were spoken in the past 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, “In the last time there will be mockers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
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.
It is these who cause divisions; they are worldly and they do not have 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, build yourselves up in your most holy faith, and pray 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 God's love, and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings you eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Gen pitye pou frè yo ki nan doutans toujou.
Be merciful to 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.
Save others by snatching them out of the fire. To others be merciful with fear. Hate even the garment 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 the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to cause you to stand before his glorious presence without blemish and with 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, majesty, dominion, and power, before all time, now, and forevermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
