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, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, [and] called:
2 Ke mizerikòd la, lapè, ak lamou kapab ogmante anvè nou.
Mercy to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
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, when I gave all diligence to write to you concerning the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith, which was once 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 have crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our 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.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
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)
And the angels who kept not their first state, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of 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)
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to impurity, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of 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.
Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
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.”
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
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 speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
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 gone in the way of Cain, and run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
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 spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about by winds; withered autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked out 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)
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (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,
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
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 upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have impiously committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which 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 murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 Men nou, byeneme yo dwe sonje pawòl yo ki te pale oparavan pa apot a Senyè nou yo, Jésus Kri
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before 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.”
That they told you there would be mockers in the last time, who would walk after 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 are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 Men nou, byeneme yo an nou bati sou lafwa ki sen pase tout; epi priye nan Lespri Sen an.
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying by 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 the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Fè mizerikòd sou kèk k ap doute,
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
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, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted 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 that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
