< Jid 1 >
1 Jude, yon sèvitè-atache nèt a Jésus Kri, epi frè la a Jacques, ekri a sa yo ki rele sen nan Bondye, Papa a, epi ki konsève pou Jésus Kri.
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, to those who are called and sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Ke mizerikòd la, lapè, ak lamou kapab ogmante anvè nou.
Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Byeneme yo, pandan mwen t ap fè tout efò pou ekri nou selon delivrans ke nou pataje ansanm, mwen te sanse ke m te bezwen ekri nou epi plede avèk nou ke nou lite fò pou lafwa ki te delivre yon fwa pou tout a sen yo.
Beloved, although I was quite eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
4 Paske gen sèten moun yo ki te glise antre nan mitan nou san ke nou pa wè, sa yo ki te fin make pou kondanasyon sila depi avan lè; moun san Bondye ki ta vire lagras Bondye nou pou vini yon lisans pou fè sa ki mal, epi rejete sèl Mèt ak Senyè nou, Jésus Kri.
For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have crept in unnoticed. They are ungodly men who pervert the grace of our God, turning it into a license for sensuality. By doing so, they deny God, who is our only Master, and also the Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Koulye a, mwen vle fè nou sonje, malgre ke nou deja konnen tout bagay yo nèt, ke Senyè a apre Li te delivre yon pèp sòti nan Égypte, apre te detwi tout sa yo ki pa t kwè.
Now I want to remind you, although you already know this, that after the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.
6 Epi zanj yo ki pa t kenbe pwòp wòl yo, men te abandonnen pwòp plas yo, Li te kenbe byen anchennen anba tenèb la, pou jijman a nan gran jou a. (aïdios )
And the angels who did not keep within their proper domain, but left their own dwelling, he has kept under darkness in everlasting chains for the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
7 Menm jan ke Sodome ak Gomorrhe ansanm ak vil yo ki te antoure yo, akoz ke yo fè menm bagay, epi te antre nan imoralite a byen lèd, epi t ap chache vis lachè yo ki pa t menm twouve nan nati, se prezante kon yon egzanp, e te pase nan pinisyon dife etènèl a. (aiōnios )
Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in fornication and went after strange flesh in a manner similar to those angels, serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 Malgre sa, moun sa yo fè menm bagay la. Ak rèv ke yo fè, yo defile lachè a, rejete otorite a, epi meprize zanj majestik yo.
In the same way these ungodly men, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile glorious beings.
9 Men lakanj Michel, lè li te dispite avèk dyab la, epi te despite sou kò Moise la, pa t menm tante pwononse yon jijman cho, men te di “Ke Bondye bay ou repwòch.”
But when Michael the archangel was contending with the devil and disputing about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a reviling judgment against him, but said, “May the Lord rebuke yoʋ!”
10 Men moun sa yo meprize sa ke yo pa menm konprann. Konsa, se pa bagay yo ke yo konnen pa lensten, kon bèt ki pa ka menm rezonen, ke yo vin detwi.
Yet these men slander whatever they do not understand, and they are corrupted by what they, like irrational beasts, instinctively comprehend.
11 Malè a yo! Paske yo ale menm jan avèk Caïn. Pou yon salè yo te kouri tèt an avan nan erè Balaam nan, epi te peri nan rebelyon Koré a.
Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, they rushed for reward to the error of Balaam, and they perished in the rebellion of Korah.
12 Moun sa yo se resif yo k ap kashe nan fèt lamou sen nou yo, lè yo vin fète avèk nou san fè lakrent, men konsène sèlman ak pwòp tèt pa yo. Yo se nwaj yo ki san dlo, pote pa van a, bwa sezon fwèt la san fwi, de fwa mò, dechouke menm;
These men are hidden reefs at your love feasts, feeding themselves as they feast among you without fear. They are clouds without water, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, pulled up by the roots.
13 volas lanmè sovaj yo, k ap kimen nan pwòp wont yo tout kalite lenpirite yo; zetwal erann pou kilès tenèb nwa a te rezève jis pou janmen. (aiōn )
They are wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shameful deeds; wayward stars, for whom the thick gloom of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn )
14 Epi selon sa yo tou Énoch nan setyèm jenerasyon Adam, te fè pwofesi e te di “Byen gade, Senyè a te vini avèk anpil milye yo a moun sen pa Li yo,
Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, “Behold, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones
15 pou egzekite jijman sou tout, epi pou fè rann kont a tout enkwayan yo avèk zak enpi pa yo, ke yo t ap fè nan yon jan ki san respè Bondye, epi tout move bagay ke pechè yo san fwa te pale kont Li.”
to execute judgment against all and to convict all the ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way, and to convict ungodly sinners of all the harsh words they have spoken against him.”
16 Sa yo se moun k ap plenyen fò nan gòj, k ap toujou twouve fòt, epi k ap swiv pwòp lanvi lachè pa yo. Yo pale avèk awogans, flatè moun, pou yo kapab gen yon avantaj.
These men are grumblers and complainers, walking according to their own lusts. They speak bombastic words with their mouths, admiring people for their own advantage.
17 Men nou, byeneme yo dwe sonje pawòl yo ki te pale oparavan pa apot a Senyè nou yo, Jésus Kri
But you, beloved, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold,
18 ke yo t ap di a nou ke “Nan dènye tan, ap gen mokè yo, k ap swiv pwòp lanvi pa yo san fwa nan Bondye.”
how they said to you, “In the end times there will be scoffers who walk according to their own ungodly lusts.”
19 Se sa yo ki lakòz a divizyon yo, moun k ap reflechi kon lemonn lan, ki san Lespri a.
These people cause divisions; they are worldly and do not have the Spirit.
20 Men nou, byeneme yo an nou bati sou lafwa ki sen pase tout; epi priye nan Lespri Sen an.
But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 Kenbe nou menm nan lamou Bondye, epi toujou tan swayezman pou mizerikòd a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri anvè lavi etènèl. (aiōnios )
must keep yourselves in the love of God as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Fè mizerikòd sou kèk k ap doute,
Have mercy on some, using discernment;
23 sove lòt. Rachte yo menm nan dife a ak laperèz, epi sou kèk fè mizerikòd avèk rayisman menm pou rad ki te salè pa lachè.
and others save with fear by snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment that is stained by the flesh.
24 Koulye a, a Li menm ki kapab kenbe nou pou nou pa tonbe, epi fè nou kanpe nan prezans laglwa Li san fòt avèk gran jwa,
Now to him who is able to keep them from falling and to make them stand unblemished in the presence of his glory with great joy,
25 a sèl Bondye Sovè nou an, atravè Jésus Kri Senyè nou, se laglwa, majeste, pwisans, ak otorite, menm avan tout tan, rive Koulye a, epi jis pou janmen. Amen. (aiōn )
to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, power and authority, both now and forevermore. Amen. (aiōn )
