< 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, Jesus Christ’s servant, and brother of James, unto, the called, by God the Father, beloved, and, by Jesus Christ preserved, —
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 to 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! though I was using all diligence to be writing unto you concerning our common salvation, yet have I had necessity to write at once unto you, exhorting you to be earnestly contending for, the faith, once for all 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 have crept in unobserved certain men, who, from of old, have been publicly notified for this sentence, ungodly, men, the favour of our God, turning into wantonness, and, our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ, denying.
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 am minded, therefore, to put you in remembrance, —though ye know all things once for all, That the Lord, when a people out of Egypt he had saved, in, the next place, them that believed not, destroyed.
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 )
Messengers also, even them who had not kept their own principality, but had forsaken their proper dwelling, unto the judgment of the great day in perpetual bonds under thick gloom, hath he reserved. (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 )
As, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having in like manner to these given themselves over to fornication, and gone away after other kind of flesh, lie exposed as an example, a penalty of age-abiding fire, undergoing. (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。
In like manner, nevertheless, even these, in their dreamings, flesh indeed defile, while lordship they set aside, and dignities they defame.
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。
Whereas, Michael, the chief-messenger, when, with the adversary, disputing, he was reasoning about the body of Moses, durst not impose on him a defamatory sentence, 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, whatsoever things, indeed, they know not, they defame; but, whatsoever things, naturally, like the irrational creatures, they well understand, by these, are they, bringing themselves to ruin.
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! because—in the way of Cain have they gone, and, in the error of Balaam’s wage, have they run riot, and, in the gainsaying of Korah, have they perished.
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, in your love-feasts, are hidden rocks, as they fare sumptuously together, fearlessly, themselves, shepherding, —clouds without water, by winds swept along, trees autumnal, fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,
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 )
Wild waves of sea, foaming out their own infamies, wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness age-abiding hath been reserved. (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。
But the seventh from Adam, Enoch, prophesied, even of these, saying—Lo! the Lord hath come with his holy myriads, —
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 against all, and to convict all the ungodly—of all their works of ungodliness, which they committed in ungodliness, and of all the hard things which they have spoken against him—sinners, ungodly!
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, according to their covetings, going on, —and, their mouth, speaketh great swelling words, —holding persons in admiration, for profit’s sake.
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, ye, beloved! remember the things which were foretold 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 that they used to say to you—In the last time, there shall be mockers, —according to their own ungodly covetings, going on.
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 they who make complete separation, mere men of soul, Spirit, not possessing.
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 yourselves up in your most holy faith, in Holy Spirit, praying,
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 )
Yourselves, in God’s love, keep, —awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto age-abiding life. (aiōnios )
And, on some, indeed, have mercy, —such as are in doubt, be saving, out of the fire, snatching them;
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。
But, on others, have mercy with fear, 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 is able—to guard you from stumbling, and to set you in the presence of his glory, without blemish, with exultation, —
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 )
Unto God alone our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, greatness, dominion, and authority, before all the [by-gone] age, and now, and unto all the [coming] ages. Amen! (aiōn )
