< 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。
Judas, of Jesus Christ a servant, and brother of James, to those sanctified in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept — 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。
kindness 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, all diligence using to write to you concerning the common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting to agonize for the faith once delivered 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 there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only Master, God, 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。
and to remind you I intend, you knowing once this, that the Lord, a people out of the land of Egypt having saved, again those who did not believe did destroy;
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, those who did not keep their own principality, but did leave their proper dwelling, to a judgment of a great day, in bonds everlasting, under darkness He hath kept, (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, in like manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone after other flesh, have been set before — an example, of fire age-during, justice suffering. (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, those dreaming also the flesh indeed do defile, and lordship they put away, and dignities they speak evil of,
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 chief messenger, when, with the devil contending, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring up an evil-speaking judgment, 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。
and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted;
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 to them! because in the way of Cain they did go on, and to the deceit of Balaam for reward they did rush, and in the gainsaying of Korah they did perish.
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 in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;
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 a sea, foaming out their own shames; stars going astray, to whom the gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept. (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 prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam — Enoch — saying, 'Lo, the Lord did come in His saintly 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 do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak against Him did impious sinners.'
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, repiners; according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;
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。
and ye, beloved, remember ye the sayings 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。
that they said to you, that in the last time there shall be scoffers, after their own desires of impieties 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 those setting themselves apart, natural men, the Spirit not having.
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、
And ye, beloved, on your most holy faith building yourselves up, in the 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 the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ — to life age-during; (aiōnios )
and to some be kind, judging thoroughly,
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 some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted.
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、
And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set [you] in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,
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, [is] glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and to all the ages! Amen. (aiōn )
