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 brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Ke mizerikòd la, lapè, ak lamou kapab ogmante anvè nou.
May mercy and 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
Yet in the same way, these dreamers also pollute their bodies. They reject authority, and they say slanderous things against the glorious ones.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them, saying, “Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and 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.”
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 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 are grumblers, complainers, who follow their evil desires. They are loud boasters, who, for their own advantage, flatter others.
17 Men nou, byeneme yo dwe sonje pawòl yo ki te pale oparavan pa apot a Senyè nou yo, Jésus Kri
But you, beloved, remember the words that were spoken in the past by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.”
They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
19 Se sa yo ki lakòz a divizyon yo, moun k ap reflechi kon lemonn lan, ki san Lespri a.
It is these who cause divisions; they are worldly and they 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, build yourselves up in your most holy faith, and pray 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 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 Fè mizerikòd sou kèk k ap doute,
Be merciful to those who doubt.
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.
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, 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 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 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 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)
