Iuda 1
1 NA Iuda he kauwa na Iesu Kristo, o ke kaikaina hoi o Iakobo, i ka poe i huikalaia e ke Akua ka Makua, a i malamaia hoi e Iesu Kristo, me ka heaia mai;
Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James: To those who are in God the Father, enfolded in His love, and kept for Jesus Christ, and called.
2 I nui ko oukou lokomaikaiia mai, a me ka maluhia, a me ke alohaia mai.
May mercy, peace and love be abundantly granted to you.
3 E na punahele, i ka wa a'u i hooikaika ai e palapala aku ia oukou i ke ola nui, he mea pono ia'u ke palapala aku me ka nonoi ia oukou, e hooikaika nui oukou no ka manaoio i haawi mua ia mai na ka poe haipule.
Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.
4 No ka mea, ua komo maopopo ole mai kekahi poe kanaka i hoohewa mua ia mai ma keia hoopai ana, he poe aia, e hoolilo ana i ke aloha o ko kakou Akua i mea makaleho wale: a e hoole aku ana hoi i ke Akua i ke alii hookahi, i ko kakou Haku ia Iesu Kristo.
For certain persons have crept in unnoticed--men spoken of in ancient writings as pre-destined to this condemnation--ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God into an excuse for immorality, and disown Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.
5 Ua makemake au e paipai i ko oukou manao; ua ike no oukou mamua, ua hoola mai ka Haku i kona poe kanaka mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, a mahope hoi luku iho la ia i ka poe manaoio ole aku.
I desire to remind you--although the whole matter is already familiar to you--that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but afterwards destroyed those who had no faith.
6 O ka poe anela i hoomau ole ma ko lakou ano kahiko, aka, i haalele i ko lakou wahi i noho ai, ua hoana e oia ia lakou iloko o na kaulahao mau loa ma ka pouli, no ka hookolokolo ana o ka la nui. (aïdios g126)
And angels--those who did not keep the position originally assigned to them, but deserted their own proper abode--He reserves in everlasting bonds, in darkness, in preparation for the judgement of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 E like me ko Sodoma poe a me ko Gomora hoi, a me ko na kulanakauhale e kokoke aku ana, i lilo like me lakou nei i poe moe kolohe, me ka hahai aku mamuli o na kino e, ua hooliloia mai no lakou i mea hoike, e ehaeha ana i ka hoopaiia ma ke ahi aa mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
So also Sodom and Gomorrah--and the neighboring towns in the same manner--having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing. (aiōnios g166)
8 Pela no hoi keia poe moe uhane, ua hoohaumia lakou la i ke kino, ua hoowahawaha aku i na'lii, a ua hailiili aku hoi i na lunakiekie.
Yet in just the same way these dreamers also pollute the body, while they set authority at naught and speak evil of dignities.
9 Aka hoi, o Mikaela ka luna anela, i kona wa i hakaka ai me ka diabolo me ka hoopaapaa ana aku no ke kino o Mose, aole ia i aa e hailiili aku ia ia, aka, i olelo wale no ia, E papa mai ka Haku ia oe.
But Michael the Archangel, when contending with the Devil and arguing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce judgement on him in abusive terms, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you."
10 Aka, ke hoowahawaha nei keia poe i ka mea aole lakou i ike; a o ka lakou mea hoi i ike maoli ai e like me na holoholona uhane ole, malaila no e hoohaumia ai lakou ia lakou iho.
Yet these men are abusive in matters of which they know nothing, and in things which, like the brutes, they understand instinctively--in all these they corrupt themselves.
11 Auwe lakou! no ka mea, ua hahai lakou ma ka aoao o Kaina, ua holo kiki lakou ma ka lalau ana o Balaama i mea e ukuia'i, ua hokaiia iho la lakou ma ke kipi ana ae o Kora.
Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!
12 He mau pukoa ia mau mea ma ka oukou mau ahaaina aloha, ua ahaaina hilahila ole lakou me ka hanai ana ia lakou iho: he mau ao ua ole i lele ino i ka makani; he mau laau i mae wale, hua ole, i palua ka make ana, a i hukiia ke aa;
These men--sunken rocks! --are those who share the pleasure of your love-feasts, unrestrained by fear while caring only for themselves; clouds without water, driven away by the winds; trees that cast their fruit, barren, doubly dead, uprooted;
13 He mau ale o ke kai i kupikipikio, ke huahuai ae la i ko lakou hilahila iho: na hoku lele hoi; ua hoomakaukauia no lakou ka poeleele o ka pouli mau loa. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved dense darkness of age-long duration. (aiōn g165)
14 Wanana mai no o Enoka ia mau mea, o ka hiku ia mai Adamu mai, i mai la, Eia hoi, e holo mai ana ka Haku me ka umi tausani o kona poe hoano,
It was also about these that Enoch, who belonged to the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "The Lord has come, attended by myriads of His people, to execute judgement upon all,
15 E hookolokolo mai i na mea a pau, a e hoahewa mai i ka poe aia a pau iwaena o lakou i na hewa a pau a lakou i hana hewa'i, a me na olelo paakiki a pau a ka poe hewa i olelo ino aku ai ia ia.
and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the hard words which they, ungodly sinners as they are, have spoken against Him."
16 Oia ka poe ohumu, oluolu ole, e hele ana ma ko lakou kuko iho: haanui iho la ko lakou waha me ka olelo hookano aku, mahalo ae la hoi i ko ke kino no ka ukuia mai.
These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of the advantage they can gain.
17 E na hoalauna, e hoomanao oukou i ka olelo i olelo mua ia mai ai e ka poe lunaolelo o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo;
But as for you, my dearly-loved friends, remember the words that before now were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ--
18 I ko lakou hai ana mai ia oukou, i ka hope o ka manawa, e hiki mai ai ka poe haakei e hele ana ma ko lakou kuko aia iho.
how they declared to you, "In the last times there shall be scoffers, obeying only their own ungodly passions."
19 Eia ka poe i hookaawale ae ia lakou iho, ma ke kino lakou, aole ma ka Uhane.
These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual.
20 A o oukou la, e na hoaaloha, e hookupaa ia oukou iho ma ko oukou manaoio hemolele loa, e pule aku ana ma ka Uhane Hemolele;
But you, my dearly-loved friends, building yourselves up on the basis of your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 E malama ia oukou iho ma ke aloha o ke Akua, e kakali koi i ke aloha ana mai o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo a hiki i ke ola mau loa ana. (aiōnios g166)
must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
22 E aloha aku oukou i kahi poe e hoolike ole ana.
Some, when they argue with you, you must endeavor to convince;
23 A o kahi poe e hoola ae oukou ma ka makau, me ka huki ia lakou mai ke ahi mai; me ka inaina aku i ke kapa i paumaele i ko ke kino.
others you must try to save, as brands plucked from the flames; and on others look with pity mingled with fear, while you hate every trace of their sin.
24 Eia hoi, i ka mea e hiki ai ke malama ia oukou i ole ai e haule, e hooku mai hoi ia oukou i hemolele imua i ke alo o kona nani me ka hauoli nui aku;
But to Him who is able to keep you safe from stumbling, and cause you to stand in the presence of His glory free from blemish and full of exultant joy--
25 I ke Akua akamai hookahi, ko kakou mea e ola'i, nona no ka hoonaniia, a me ka hanohano, a me ka ikaika, a me ka mana i keia wa, a i ke ao pau ole. Amene. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Saviour--through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before all time, is now, and shall be to all the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
