< Joda 1 >
1 Joda, mpanompon’ i Jesosy Kristy sady rahalahin’ i Jakoba, mamangy izay olona voantso, malala ao amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy voatahiry ho an’ i Jesosy Kristy;
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James: to them that are beloved in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.
2 hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny famindram-po sy ny fiadanana ary ny fitiavana.
Mercy unto you, and peace, and charity be fulfilled.
3 Ry malala, raha manao izay zotom-po rehetra hanoratra aminareo aho hilaza ny amin’ ny famonjena iombonantsika, dia nisy nahatery ahy hanoratra aminareo, hananatra mba hiezahanareo mafy hiaro ny finoana izay efa voatolotra indray mandeha monja ho an’ ny olona masìna.
Dearly beloved, taking all care to write unto you concerning your common salvation, I was under a necessity to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
4 Fa misy olona sasany efa niditra misokosoko, izay voasoratra fahiny ho amin’ izany fahamelohana izany, dia olona ratsy fanahy izay mamadika ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitsika ho fijejojejoana sady nandà ny Andrian-tokana, dia Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
For certain men are secretly entered in, (who were written of long ago unto this judgment, ) ungodly men, turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness, and denying the only sovereign Ruler, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Ary ta-hampahatsiaro anareo aho, na dia efa fantatrareo rahateo aza ny zavatra rehetra, fa rehefa novonjen’ ny Tompo ho afaka tany Egypta ny olona, dia naringany ihany tao aorian’ izany izay tsy nino.
I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not:
6 Ary ny anjely izay tsy nitana ny anjara-fanapahany, fa nandao ny fonenany, dia voahazony amin’ ny fatorana mandrakizay ao amin’ ny maizina ho amin’ ny andro fitsarana lehibe. (aïdios )
And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
7 Ary toy izany koa, Sodoma sy Gomora mbamin’ ny tanàna nanodidina azy, izay nijangajanga tahaka azy koa ka lasa nanaraka nofo hafa, dia aseho ho fananarana amin’ ny iaretany fijaliana amin’ ny afo maharitra mandrakizay. (aiōnios )
As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 Kanefa toy izany koa, ireo dia manonofy ka mandoto ny nofo sady mandà ny manana fahalehibiazana ary miteny ratsy ny manana voninahitra.
In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty.
9 Fa Mikaela arikanjely aza, raha niady tamin’ ny devoly ka nifanditra ny amin’ ny fatin’ i Mosesy, dia tsy sahy niteny ratsy hahameloka azy, fa hoy izy: “Hananatra anao anie Jehovah”.
When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee.
10 Fa ireo kosa dia miteny ratsy izay zavatra rehetra tsy fantany akory; ary izay zavatra fantany fotsiny, tahaka ny fahalalan’ ny biby tsy manan-tsaina kosa, no animbany ny tenany.
But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.
11 Hahita loza izy! fa efa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Kama, sady efa nimaona fatratra hanaraka ny fahadisoan’ i Balama hahazoany tamby, ary efa ringana tamin’ ny fiodinan’ i Kora izy.
Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core.
12 Ireo no harambato voasaron-drano eo amin’ ny fanasam-pifankatiavanareo, raha miara-mihinana aminareo izy, dia mpiandry mamahan-tena, nefa tsy matahotra; rahona tsy misy rano, entin’ ny rivotra, ireo; hazo fararano, nefa tsy misy voany, indroa maty, voafongotra;
These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,
13 onjan-dranomasina mitopatopa mamorivory ny fahamenarany; kintana mifindrafindra, ka voatahiry ho azy mandrakizay ny fahamaintisan’ ny maizina. (aiōn )
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever. (aiōn )
14 Ary Enoka koa, ilay fahafito nandimby an’ i Adama, dia efa naminany ny amin’ ireny olona ireny ka nanao hoe: “Indro, tonga Jehovah mbamin’ ny masiny tsy omby alinalina
Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints,
15 hitsara ny olona rehetra sy hampiaiky ny olona ratsy fanahy rehetra ny asan’ ny haratsiam-panahy rehetra, izay nataony tamin’ ny haratsiam-panahiny sy ny teny sarotra rehetra izay nitenenan’ ny mpanota ratsy fanahy hanohitra Azy.”
To execute judgment upon all, and to reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness, whereby they have done ungodly, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against God.
16 Ireo dia mpimonomonona sy mpimoimoy, mandeha araka ny filany (ary ny vavany manao teny miavonavona loatra) ka mandoka olona mba hahazoany zavatra.
These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires, and their mouth speaketh proud things, admiring persons for gain’s sake.
17 Fa tsarovinareo, ry malala, ny teny voalazan’ ny Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika fahiny;
But you, my dearly beloved, be mindful of the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 fa efa nilaza taminareo hoe izy: Amin’ ny andro farany dia hisy mpaniratsira, mandeha araka ny filan’ ny haratsiam-panahiny.
Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses.
19 Ireo no mahatonga fisarahana, dia olona araka ny nofo ihany, fa tsy mba manana ny Fanahy.
These are they, who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit.
20 Fa ianareo kosa, ry malala, dia ataovy izay handrosoanareo amin’ ny finoanareo masìna indrindra, ka mivavaha ao amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna;
But you, my beloved, building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 ary tehirizo ny tenanareo ao amin’ ny fitiavan’ Andriamanitra, miandry ny famindram-pon’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika ho fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios )
Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting. (aiōnios )
22 Ary amindrao fo ny sasany izay miahanahana;
And some indeed reprove, being judged:
23 ary ny sasany kosa sariho avy amin’ ny afo no famonjy azy; ary ny sasany indray amindrao fo amin-tahotra, ka mankahalà na dia ny akanjo voapentimpentin’ ny nofo aza.
But others save, pulling them out of the fire. And on others have mercy, in fear, hating also the spotted garment which is carnal.
24 Ary ho an’ izay maharo anareo mba tsy ho tafintohina, ary hametraka anareo tsy hanan-tsiny eo anoloan’ ny voninahiny amin’ ny firavoravoana,
Now to him who is able to preserve you without sin, and to present you spotless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
25 ho an’ Andriamanitra tokana, Mpamonjy antsika, amin’ ny alalan i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika anie, ny voninahitra sy ny fahalehibiazana, ny fanjakana sy ny fahefana hatramin’ ny taloha indrindra sy ankehitriny ary mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn )
To the only God our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and magnificence, empire and power, before all ages, and now, and for all ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn )
