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, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for 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。
May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
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, although I was making all haste to write to you in regard to our common salvation, I am compelled to write you an appeal to defend the faith once for all committed to 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 certain men have crept in stealthily - men predestined in ancient prophecies for this condemnation - impious ones! They pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness, and deny Jesus Christ, our sole Master and Lord.
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 wish to remind you of what you already know right well, that although the Lord once saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he afterward destroyed those who did not believe;
while the angels who did not keep their first domain but left their proper abode, are held by him in blank darkness, in everlasting chains, in preparation for the judgment of the Great Day. (aïdios g126)
So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the near-by cities which in like manner glutted themselves in sensuality and unnatural vice, are exhibited as a warning of the eternal fire, in the punishment they undergo. (aiōnios g166)
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。
Yet in just the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, while they set at naught dominion and scoff at 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。
But Michael, the Archangel, when in contending with the devil, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce sentence for blasphemy, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."
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。
Yet these men blaspheme about matters of which they know nothing, while they use such things as they do understand by instinct (like the animals who have no reason) for their own destruction.
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。
Alas for them! They have walked in the path of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into Balaam’s error, and have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
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 they who are stains upon your love-feasts; when they feast sumptuously without scruple, looking after none but themselves. They are clouds without water, driven along by the winds; trees of autumn, fruitless, doubly dead, torn up by the roots,
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. (aiōn g165)
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。
It was to these, too, that Enoch, the "seventh in descent from Adam," prophesied, saying, "Lo! the Lord is come with myriads 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 convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed; and of all the hard things which they have spoken against Him, ungodly sinners that they are!"
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。
For these are murmurers, always complaining. They always go where their passions lead, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, while they pay court to men for the sake of the advantage they can get.
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 as for you, dearly beloved, remember the words spoken before by 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 they used to say to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will be led only by their godless passions."
19 彼らは分裂をなし、情 慾に屬し、御靈を有たぬ者なり。
These are the men, sensual and unspiritual, who cause divisions.
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 you, beloved, continually building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and ever praying in the Holy Spirit,
must keep yourselves in the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ends in life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
22 また彼らの中なる疑ふ者をあはれみ、
Pity some who are wavering, and save by dragging them out of the fire;
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。
others pity, but with caution, 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 who has power to guard you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, faultless and exultant,
