< 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]。
Judah, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, and brother of Jacob, to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Yeshua the Messiah:
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, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the kadoshim.
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 there are certain people who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly people, turning the grace of our God into sensuality, and denying our only Master and Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.
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、
Now I want to remind you, though you already know all these things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
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 )
Angels who did not keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
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 )
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of everlasting fire. (aiōnios )
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。
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
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。
But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you."
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 whatever things they do not know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.
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 went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in Korah's rebellion.
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 hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up 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 )
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn )
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、
About these also Hanokh, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
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 on all, and to convict every person of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things 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 and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain 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 you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
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。
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking 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 cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Ruach.
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 you, beloved, keep building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
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 )
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to everlasting life. (aiōnios )
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 be merciful on those who doubt,
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 some save, snatching them out of the fire, and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the clothing stained 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 who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great 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 )
to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn )
