Jūdas Vēstule 1
1 Jūda, Jēzus Kristus kalps un Jēkaba brālis, tiem aicinātiem, kas iekš Dieva Tā Tēva svētīti un iekš Jēzus Kristus pasargāti.
[I am] Jude. I [serve] Jesus Christ [like] a voluntary slave [MET]. I am a [younger] brother of James, [the leader of all the congregations. I am writing] to you whom [God] has chosen [to belong to him. You are] loved by God [our] Father and protected by Jesus Christ (OR, whom [God] has protected [to present] to Jesus Christ).
2 Žēlastība lai ir jums un miers un mīlestība papilnam.
[I pray that] you will continue to [experience] very much [God acting] mercifully toward you, [causing you to have inner] peace, and loving [you].
3 Mīļie, no visas sirds rūpējoties jums rakstīt par to pestīšanu, kas mums visiem ir kopā, man vajadzēja jums rakstīt un lūgt, lai jūs cīnāties par to ticību, kas vienreiz tiem svētiem ir dota.
You whom I love, I (was very eager/very much wanted) to write to you about that which we all (share/have in common), which is how ([God/Jesus Christ]) [has] saved [us]. But now I realize that it is necessary [for me] to write to you in order to exhort you to defend the [truth about Christ] that we believe. [Jesus and his apostles] gave that truth once and for all to us who belong to God, [and we must not let it be changed] {[anyone revise/change it]}.
4 Jo kādi cilvēki ielavījušies, kas rakstos sen papriekš nozīmēti uz šo sodību, bezdievīgi, kas mūsu Dieva žēlastību pārvērš bezkaunībā un aizliedz to vienīgo valdītāju Dievu un mūsu Kungu Jēzu Kristu.
Some people falsely [teach that because] God kindly does for us what we do not deserve, it (does not matter/is all right) if we continue to sin. [Those people show by the way that they conduct their lives] that they do not want to admit/accept that Jesus Christ [is] our only Master and Lord. [It was written] long ago {[Someone] long ago wrote} that [God] would condemn (such ungodly people/people like that whose lives are displeasing to him). But some [of those] people have entered [MET] [like crawling snakes] into your congregations [and oppose the truth about Christ, so you must resist/oppose them].
5 Bet es jums, kas visu jau zināt, gribu atgādināt, ka Tas Kungs tos ļaudis no Ēģiptes zemes vienreiz pestījis, pēc tos neticīgos ir nomaitājis;
Although you previously knew all these things, [there are certain things about] which I desire to remind you. [Do not forget that although] the Lord rescued [his people] from Egypt, he later destroyed most of those same people, ones who did not believe [in him].
6 Un tos eņģeļus, kas savu augsto kārtu nav sargājuši, bet savu dzīvokli atstājuši, Viņš ar mūžīgām saitēm ir paturējis apakš tumsības uz tās lielās dienas sodu. (aïdios g126)
And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios g126, questioned)
7 Tā kā Sodoma un Gomora un tās apkārtējās pilsētas, kas tāpat kā viņas maucībai bija padevušās un citai miesai gājušas pakaļ, ir noliktas par mūžīgu uguns priekšzīmi, sodību ciezdamas. (aiōnios g166)
Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
8 Tāpat arī šie sapņotāji apgāna miesu un nicina virsības un zaimo augstības.
Similarly, these [ungodly people in your midst] also defile their own bodies [by living immorally], because [they claim/say that God revealed] in visions [that they should act that way]. They refuse to [allow] anyone to have authority over them, and they (revile/speak evil about) [God’s] glorious/wonderful [angels].
9 Bet Miķelis, tas lielais eņģelis, kad tas cīnījās ar velnu, un tam pretī runāja par Mozus miesām, neuzdrīkstējās zaimošanas tiesu pret to spriest, bet sacīja: lai Tas Kungs tevi soda.
When (the devil/Satan) argued with the chief angel, Michael, about [who would take away] the body of [the prophet] Moses [to bury it], Michael did not [do as these teachers of false doctrine do. Even though Michael has much more authority than they do], he did not disrespectfully (revile/say evil things to) Satan and accuse/condemn him. Instead, he [only] said, “[I desire that] the Lord [God] will rebuke you!”
10 Bet šie zaimo, ko tie neprot; bet ko tie pēc dabas prot, tā kā bezprātīgie zvēri, iekš tā tie iet postā.
But the [ones in your midst] who teach false doctrine (revile/speak evil against) the [spiritual] beings that they do not understand. They also [do the evil things that they desire], things that they know about (naturally/without needing to think), things that they just do without considering [the consequences/results], like animals. So they destroy themselves. [But they will also be punished by God] {[God will also] punish them}.
11 Ak vai, tiem, jo tie ir gājuši uz Kaina ceļu, un peļņas dēļ iegāzušies Bileāma alošanā un ir nomaitāti Koraha pretī runāšanā.
[God will do] terrible things to those who teach false doctrine! They conduct their lives [wickedly] like Cain, [who murdered his brother because he was] ([jealous/angry because God accepted his brother’s sacrifice and did not accept his]). These false teachers (devote themselves to [MET] [doing] wrong things [like] Balaam, who [tried to induce God’s people to sin in order to get the money that was offered to him]. They will perish like Korah, who rebelled [against the authority that God gave to Moses].
12 Šie ir tie gānekļi pie jūsu mīlestības mielastiem, kopā plītēdami un bez bijāšanas barodamies, padebeši bez ūdens, vēju mētāti, kaili, neauglīgi, divkārt nomiruši, izsakņoti koki,
Those teachers of false doctrine are [as dangerous to you as] [MET] (hidden rocks on a reef/rocks underneath the surface of the ocean) [are to a boat]. When you gather together [to eat the meals that] help you believers to love each other more and have a closer relationship with each other, they [join you and] carouse shamelessly, caring [only] for themselves [and not for others. Because they do not do anything to help others] [MET], they are [as useless as] clouds that are blown along by the wind {that the wind blows along} but that do not [produce/give] any rain. [They are as disappointing as] [MET] trees that do not produce fruit in the autumn [as we expect them to]. They are not only [spiritually] [MET] dead themselves, [but they are] not [able to cause others to be] alive [spiritually, just like] [MET] trees that have been {that [someone] has} uprooted and [as a result] are unable to produce any fruit.
13 Bargi jūras viļņi, kas savu pašu kaunu putās izgāž; nomaldījušās zvaigznes, kam tā visdziļākā tumsība top uzglabāta mūžīgi. (aiōn g165)
They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn g165, questioned)
14 Bet par šiem arīdzan Enohs, tas septītais no Ādama, sludinājis sacīdams: redzi, Tas Kungs nāks ar Saviem daudz tūkstošiem svētiem,
Enoch, the sixth [person in the line of people who descended] from Adam, prophesied this about those [teachers of false doctrine]: “Listen carefully to this: The Lord will certainly come with a countless number of his holy [angels] in order
15 Tiesu turēt par visiem, visus bezdievīgos starp tiem pārmācīt par visiem viņu bezdievīgiem darbiem, ko tie bezdievīgie darījuši, un par visiem negantiem vārdiem, ko tie bezdievīgie grēcinieki pret Viņu runājuši.
to judge everyone, and to punish all wicked and (ungodly people/people whose lives are displeasing to God) for all the (ungodly things/things that displease God) that they did in (an ungodly way/a way that displeases God), and for all the harsh things that ungodly sinful people have spoken against him.”
16 Šie ir kurnētāji un skundētāji, staigādami pēc savām kārībām un viņu mute runā lepnus vārdus, un tie apbrīno cilvēku augstību pelņas dēļ.
Those [teachers] of [false doctrine] grumble [about] the [things that God does]. They complain [about what happens to them]. They do the sinful things that their [bodies] desire. They talk boastfully. They (flatter/say nice things to) people, only in order to get [those people to give them the] things that they want.
17 Bet jūs, mīļie, pieminiet tos vārdus, kas jums ir papriekš sacīti no mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus apustuļiem.
But you people whom I love need to remember the things that were predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ {that the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen}.
18 Ka tie jums ir sacījuši, ka pēdējos laikos būs smējēji, pēc savām bezdievīgām kārībām staigādami.
They told you, “In the final period of time [in which we are now living] there will be people who will laugh at [the truths that God has revealed]. They will do the (ungodly things/things that are displeasing to God) that their [bodies] desire.”
19 Šie ir tie, kas ceļ šķiras, miesīgi cilvēki, kam gara nav.
[That describes] the teachers of false doctrine [well, because] they are the ones who cause divisions among believers. They do what their own minds tell them to do. The Spirit [of God] does not live within them.
20 Bet jūs, mīļie, uztaisāties savā vissvētākā ticībā, iekš Tā Svētā Gara lūgdamies.
But you people whom I love, (hold/continue to trust) firmly to the very sacred truths that you believe. Pray by [letting] the Holy Spirit enable/empower you.
21 Turaties iekš Dieva mīlestības, gaidīdami mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus apžēlošanu uz mūžīgu dzīvošanu. (aiōnios g166)
Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios g166)
22 Un citus pārmāciet, kas ir šaubīgi,
Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
23 Un citus izglābiet, tos no uguns izraudami, un par citiem apžēlojaties ar bijāšanu, ienīdēdami arīdzan tās no miesas apgānītās drēbes.
[Rescue] others from [the influence of those who teach what is false] [MET], [as you would rescue things by] snatching [them from] a fire. Pity those [whom the teachers of false doctrine have completely convinced], but beware that [you yourselves are not influenced by them] {that they do not influence you}. Detest [doing or even thinking about the sins that those people commit, just like you would detest] [MET] touching not only filthy things but the clothes that were stained by those things {that those things stained}.
24 Bet Tam, kas ir spēcīgs jūs pasargāt, ka neklūpat, un Savas godības priekšā bezvainīgus stādīt ar līksmību,
God is able to keep you from ceasing to trust in him (OR, from sinning), and he is able to bring you into his glorious presence. [As you stand before him], there will be nothing [for which] you [will] be condemned {[he can] condemn you}, and you will be rejoicing greatly.
25 Tam vienam gudram Dievam, mūsu Pestītājam, lai ir gods un augsta slava, spēks un vara, tagad un mūžīgi mūžam! Āmen. (aiōn g165)
He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
