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, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, loved in God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ:
2 hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny famindram-po sy ny fiadanana ary ny fitiavana.
Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
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.
Beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you, I found it necessary to write to you concerning the common salvation, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was 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 there have stealthily crept in certain men who were of old appointed beforehand for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into wantonness, and denying the only Sovereign, 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.
But I wish to remind you as once knowing it all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who 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 g126)
and the angels which kept not their principality, but left their own dwelling-place, he hath kept in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day; (aïdios g126)
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 g166)
even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving themselves over to fornication, and going away after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Kanefa toy izany koa, ireo dia manonofy ka mandoto ny nofo sady mandà ny manana fahalehibiazana ary miteny ratsy ny manana voninahitra.
Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
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”.
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 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 rail at the things which they know not; but what things they understand naturally, as brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.
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 to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and rushed on in the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
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 the rocks in your feasts of love, feasting together without fear, feeding only themselves; clouds without water, carried away by winds; trees in late autumn, without fruit, 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 g165)
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn g165)
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
Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,
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 convict all the ungodly among them of all the deeds of their ungodliness which they committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners spoke against him.”
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, complaining of their lot, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words; admiring men's persons, for the sake of profit.
17 Fa tsarovinareo, ry malala, ny teny voalazan’ ny Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika fahiny;
But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken 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.
that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
19 Ireo no mahatonga fisarahana, dia olona araka ny nofo ihany, fa tsy mba manana ny Fanahy.
These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having 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 do ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 ary tehirizo ny tenanareo ao amin’ ny fitiavan’ Andriamanitra, miandry ny famindram-pon’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika ho fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Ary amindrao fo ny sasany izay miahanahana;
And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
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.
with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Ary ho an’ izay maharo anareo mba tsy ho tafintohina, ary hametraka anareo tsy hanan-tsiny eo anoloan’ ny voninahiny amin’ ny firavoravoana,
But to him that is able to keep them from falling, and to present them faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
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 g165)
to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, is glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
