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 a brother of James, To those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ:
2 hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny famindram-po sy ny fiadanana ary ny fitiavana.
Mercy, 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, although I made every effort to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt it necessary to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all 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 have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and 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.
Although you are fully aware of this, I want to remind you that after Jesus had delivered His people out of the land of Egypt, He destroyed those who did not believe.
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 who did not stay within their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling—these He has kept in eternal chains under darkness, bound for judgment on that 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)
In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal 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 the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings.
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”.
But even the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not presume to bring a slanderous charge against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
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.
These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.
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! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
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 men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.
13 onjan-dranomasina mitopatopa mamorivory ny fahamenarany; kintana mifindrafindra, ka voatahiry ho azy mandrakizay ny fahamaintisan’ ny maizina. (aiōn g165)
They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. (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
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones
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 on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”
16 Ireo dia mpimonomonona sy mpimoimoy, mandeha araka ny filany (ary ny vavany manao teny miavonavona loatra) ka mandoka olona mba hahazoany zavatra.
These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
17 Fa tsarovinareo, ry malala, ny teny voalazan’ ny Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika fahiny;
But you, beloved, remember what was foretold 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.
when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
19 Ireo no mahatonga fisarahana, dia olona araka ny nofo ihany, fa tsy mba manana ny Fanahy.
These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of 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, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and 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 as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Ary amindrao fo ny sasany izay miahanahana;
And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt;
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.
save others by snatching them from the fire; and to still others show mercy tempered with fear, hating even the clothing stained 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,
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great 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 Savior be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, and now, and for all eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
