< ユダの手紙 1 >
1 イエス・キリストの僕にしてヤコブの兄弟なるユダ、書を召されたる者、すなはち父なる神に愛せられ、イエス・キリストの爲に守らるる者に贈る。
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 願はくは憐憫と平安と愛と、なんぢらに増さんことを。
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 愛する者よ、われ我らが共に與る救につき勵みて汝らに書き贈らんとせしが、聖徒の一たび傳へられたる信仰のために戰はんことを勸むる書を、汝らに贈るを必要と思へり。
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 そは敬虔ならずして我らの神の恩惠を好色に易へ、唯一の主なる我らの主イエス・キリストを否むものども潜り入りたればなり。彼らが此の審判を受くべきことは昔より預じめ録されたり。
For there are certain men 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 汝らは固より凡ての事を知れど、我さらに汝 等をして思ひ出さしめんとする事あり、即ち主エジプトの地より民を救ひ出して、後に信ぜぬ者を亡し給へり。
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 又おのが位を保たずして己が居所を離れたる御使を、大なる日の審判まで、闇黒のうちに長久の繩目をもて看守し給へり。 (aïdios )
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
7 ソドム、ゴモラ及びその周圍の町々も亦これと同じく、淫行に耽り、背倫の肉 慾に走り、永遠の火の刑罰をうけて鑑とせられたり。 (aiōnios )
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 かくの如くかの夢 見る者どもも肉を汚し、權威ある者を輕んじ、尊き者を罵る。
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 御使の長ミカエル惡魔と論じてモーセの屍體を爭ひし時に、敢へて罵りて審かず、唯『ねがはくは主なんぢを戒め給はんことを』と云へり。
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 されど此の人々は知らぬことを罵り、無知の獸のごとく、自然に知る所によりて亡ぶるなり。
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 禍害なるかな、彼らはカインの道にゆき、利のためにバラムの迷に走り、またコラの如き謀反によりて亡びたり。
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
12 彼らは汝らと共に宴席に與り、その愛餐の暗礁たり、憚らずして自己をやしなふ牧者、風に逐はるる水なき雲、枯れて又かれ、根より拔かれたる果なき秋の木、
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 おのが恥を湧き出す海のあらき波、さまよふ星なり。彼らの爲に暗き闇、とこしへに蓄へ置かれたり。 (aiōn )
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn )
14 アダムより七代に當るエノク彼らに就きて預言せり。曰く『視よ、主はその聖なる千萬の衆を率ゐて來りたまへり。
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 これ凡ての人の審判をなし、すべて敬虔ならぬ者の不 敬虔を行ひたる不 敬虔の凡ての業と、敬虔ならぬ罪人の、主に逆ひて語りたる凡ての甚だしき言とを責め給はんとてなり』
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 彼らは呟くもの、不滿をならす者にして、おのが慾に隨ひて歩み、口に誇をかたり、利のために人に諂ふなり。
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 愛する者よ、汝らは我らの主イエス・キリストの使徒たちの預じめ言ひし言を憶えよ。
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 即ち汝らに曰らく『末の時に嘲る者おこり、己が不 敬虔なる慾に隨ひて歩まん』と。
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 彼らは分裂をなし、情 慾に屬し、御靈を有たぬ者なり。
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 されど愛する者よ、なんぢらは己がいと潔き信仰の上に徳を建て、聖 靈によりて祈り、
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 神の愛のうちに己をまもり、永遠の生命を得るまで我らの主イエス・キリストの憐憫を待て。 (aiōnios )
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios )
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 或 者を火より取出して救ひ、或 者をその肉に汚れたる下衣をも厭ひ、かつ懼れつつ憐め。
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 願はくは汝らを守りて躓かしめず、瑕なくして榮光の御前に歡喜をもて立つことを得しめ給ふ者、
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 即ち我らの救主なる唯一の神に、榮光・稜威・權力・權威、われらの主イエス・キリストに由りて、萬 世の前にも今も萬 世までも在らんことを、アァメン (aiōn )
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and authority, both now and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
