< ユダの手紙 1 >

1 イエズス、キリストの僕にしてヤコボの兄弟なるユダ、父にて在す神に愛せられ、キリスト、イエズスの為に保たれ、且召され奉りたる人々に[書簡を贈る]。
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 願はくは慈悲と平安と慈愛と汝等に加はらん事を。
Mercy to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 至愛なる者よ、我は我等が共同の救霊に就きて汝等に書贈らんことを切に望み、一度聖人等によりて傳へられし信仰の為に力を盡して戰はんことを勧めんとて、汝等に書贈るを必要とせり。
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you concerning the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
4 其は或人々、即ち昔より罪に處せるる様預定せられたる不敬虔なる人々の潜入りて、我神の恩寵を放蕩に易へ、唯一の主宰者にして我主にて在せるイエズス、キリストを否み奉ればなり。
For certain men have 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 本文 汝等素より何事をも知れりと雖も、爰に我汝等をして思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出し給ひて後、信ぜざりし人々を亡びし給ひ、
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 又己が位を保たず己が居處を棄てたりし天使等を、大いなる日の審判の為に、無窮の縲絏を以て暗黒の中に閉ぢ給ひ、 (aïdios g126)
And the angels who kept not their proper abode, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 又ソドマ、ゴモラ及び其付近の市町は、同じく淫亂に耽り、異なる肉身を冒したるが故に、永遠の火の刑罰を受けて見せしめと為られしなり。 (aiōnios g166)
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to gross immorality, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 斯の如く彼夢想者等も亦肉身を汚し、権力を軽んじ、尊榮を罵る。
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 大天使ミカエルは、惡魔と論じてモイゼの屍を争ひし時に、敢て罵るが如き宣告を為さずして、願はくは主汝に命じ給はん事を、と言へり。
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 然れども是等の人は総て知らざる事を罵り、無知の畜類の如く自然に知れる事を以て其身を汚すなり。
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 彼等は禍なる哉、其はカインの道に行き、又報酬の為にバラアムの迷に流れ、尚コオレの謀反の中に亡びたればなり。
Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
12 彼等は憚らずして食し、己を飽足らしめて、汝等の愛餐に於て汚と成り、風に吹遣らるる水なき雲、實らずして再び枯れ、根の抜かれたる秋の末の樹、
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about by winds; late autumn trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked out by the roots;
13 己が醜行を泡立たする海の暴波、暗黒が彼等の為に限なく備はれる惑星なり。 (aiōn g165)
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 アダムより七代目なるヘノクは、是等の人をも斥して預言して言へらく、「看よ主は其千萬の聖徒を從へて來り給ひ、
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 萬民に對ひて審判を為し、凡ての不敬虔なる者を、其不敬虔に行ひし不敬虔の業と、不敬虔なる罪人が神に對ひ奉りて語りし凡ての暴言とを以て責め給ふべし」と。
To execute judgment upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have impiously committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 彼等は私慾に從ひて歩み、不満を鳴らして呟く者、其口は大言を語り、利益の為に人に諂ふ者なり。
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 至愛なる者よ、汝等は我主イエズス、キリストの使徒等より預言せられし事を記憶せよ。
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 即ち彼等謂へらく、末の時には嘲る人々來り、己が望に從ひて不敬虔の業の中に歩まん、と。
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 彼等は自ら分裂して肉慾に從ひ、霊を有せざる者なり。
These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 至愛なる者よ、汝等が至聖なる信仰の上に己を建て、聖霊によりて祈り、
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Spirit,
21 己を神の愛の中に守り、永遠の生命を得ん為に、我主イエズス、キリストの御慈悲を待て。 (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 汝等彼等の中の或者、即ち眞偽を争へる人々を承服せしめ、
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 或者を火より取出して救ひ、或者を懼れつつ憫み、肉に汚されたる肌着をも厭ふべし。
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 結末 克く汝等を守りて躓かざらしむる事と、(我主イエズス、キリストの降臨の時に)其光榮の御前に汚なく喜ばしく立たしむる事を得給ふもの、
Now to him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 即ち我主イエズス、キリストによりて、我救主にて在す唯一の神に、萬世の以前に於ても、今に於ても、又萬世に至る迄も、光榮、威光、能力、権能歸す、アメン。 (aiōn g165)
To God the only wise, our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
