< Joda 1 >
1 I Joda, fetrek’oro’ Iesoà Norizañey naho rahalahi’ Iakobe, Ho amo nikanjieñe, navahen’ Añahare Rae naho tambozoreñe am’ Iesoà Norizañeio.
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them who are sanctified by God the Father, and to the preserved by Jesus Christ, to the called:
2 Ampitoaboreñe ama’ areo ty fitretrezañe naho ty fañanintsiñe vaho ty fikokoañe.
May mercy, and peace, and love, be multiplied to you.
3 Ry roañetse, nilozoheko sokitse i fandrombahañe itraofañey, fe inao ty nataoko: hàmake hañosik’ anahareo himane i fatokisañe natoro amo noro’eo indraike nahahenekey.
Beloved, making all haste to write to you, concerning the common salvation, I thought it necessary to write to you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith formerly delivered to the saints.
4 Amy te ao t’indaty nitsifitse añetake, ie nipatereñe haehae ty fàtse hizò iareo, ie tsy mañaon-Kake, mamotetse ty hasoan’ Añaharen-tika ho an-kaloloañe vaho mitety Iehovà Andrianañahare tsi-roe-tsi-telo naho i Talèntika, Iesoà Norizañey.
For certain men have come in privily, who long ago were before written to this very condemnation; ungodly men, perverting the favor of our God to lasciviousness, and denying the only sovereign Lord, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Te haniahy anahareo iraho, toe hene nifohi’ areo hey, te ie rinomba’ i Talè ondaty an-tane’ Egipte añeo, le nimongore’e o tsi-niatoo,
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you formerly knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them who did not believe.
6 naho nitambozore’e an-drohy tsy modo am-pimoromoroñañe ao ampara’ i zaka amy andro jabajabaiy o anjely tsy nitañe ty nañorizañe iareo naho nifary i toe’ iareo do’ey; (aïdios )
Also, the angels who kept not their first estate, but left their proper habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, to the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
7 hambañe amy Sodoma naho i Gomora naho o rova nañohokeo, ie nivalijere an-karapiloañe nipay nofotse faly, vaho nanoeñe fandrazañañe, nafàtse ho lovilovieñe añ’afo ao kitro katroke. (aiōnios )
Likewise Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which, after their example, had habitually committed uncleanness, and gone after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the punishment of an eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 Toe manahake izay iretiañe, ie mametaveta sandriñe amo anofisa’ iareoo, mañarinje mpanandily, vaho mañinje o amam-bolonahetseo.
Truly, in like manner, also, shall these dreamers be punished--who, indeed, defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme dignities.
9 Fa ndra i Mikaela, talèn’ anjely, ie nifañotak’ amy mpañìnjey t’ie nifandietse amy fañòva’ i Mosèy, tsy nahavany hanisý aze añ’ endake, fa nanao ty hoe: Hitrevoha’ t‘i Talè!
Whereas, Michael, the Arch Angel, when contending with the devil, (he disputed about the body of Moses, ) did not attempt to bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke":
10 Fe mañìnje o raha tsy apota’e ondaty retiañe, naho o raha nifohi’e boak’ an-trokeo, hoe biby tsy mitsakore, izay ty mahamomoke iareo.
but these, indeed, revile those things which they do not know; but what things they do know, naturally, as animals void of reason, by these things they destroy themselves.
11 Hankàñe am’iareo! Ie nitsile an-dala’ i Kaina naho nifatrifatry nipay tambe ami’ty fandilara’ i Balama vaho mirotsak’ ami’ty fiola’ i Kòra.
Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and have run evidently in the error of Balaam's hire, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
12 Ie vato-haran-driake mietak’ amo sabadidam-pikokoa’ areoo mitrao-pikama tsy aman-kembañe; tea haneñe avao; rahoñe tsy aman-drano, ahofahofan-tioke; hatae an-tsaramanty tsy mamoa, indroe mate, nombotañe reke-bahatse;
These men are spots in love feasts, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear. They are clouds without water, carried about of winds: withered autumnal trees without fruit; twice dead; rooted out;
13 onjan-driake mivalitaboake mandoa voren-kameñarañe; vasiañe mirererere nañajàñe ieñe mimoromoroñe zafezanake. (aiōn )
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved. (aiōn )
14 Nitokie’ i Enoka, faha-fiton-tarira’ i Dame, ka, ondatiy rey, nitaroñe ty hoe: Heheke, mitotsak’ etoa t’i Talè aman’ aleale’ o noro’eo,
Now, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, indeed, concerning these men; saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with his myriads of holy angels,
15 hametsake zaka amy ze he’e, hañameloke ze tsi-aman-Kàke ty amo sata tsi-aman-Kàke nitoloñe’ iareoo an-kaloloañeo, naho o tambaimbaiñe nanoe’ i mpanan-kakeo tsi-aman-Kàke rezay ama’eo.
to pass sentence on all, and to convict all the ungodly among them, of all their deeds of ungodliness; which they have impiously committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
16 Mpiñeoñeoñe iereo, mpaniñetiñe; mañorike o drao tsi-voka’eo; mivolam-pirengevohañe o vava’eo, mitsiriry laharañe, hañaramamoa’e.
These are murmurers, and complainers, who walk according to their own lusts; and their mouths speak great swelling words. They admire persons for the sake of gain.
17 Ie amy zao, ry rañetse, tiahio i saontsy nente’ o Firàhe’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañeio taoloy;
But, beloved, remember the words which were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 ie nitaroñe ty hoe: An-tsà honka’e, le hitoandratoandra an-kadrao tsy aman-Kàke o mpanivetìveo.
that they said to you, that in the last time there would be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
19 Ie mpampiriaria—mpañorike ty draon-troke, tsy amañ’Arofo.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 F’inahareo, ry rañetse, ie mitomambao am-patokisañe miavake do’e naho mitalaho añamy Arofo-Masiñey,
But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying with a holy spirit;
21 tambozoro i fikokoan’ Añaharey, itamao ty fiferenaiña’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey minday haveloñe nainai’ey. (aiōnios )
keep yourselves in the love of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Rambeso an-tretrè o ila’e mihañahañao.
And making a difference, have compassion, indeed, on some:
23 Rombaho ty ila’e, isintono boak’ añ’ afo ao, ferenaiño an-kahembañañe ka o ila’eo, le hejeo ndra ty sikiñe nileore’ o nofotseo.
but others, save by fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Aa le ho amy mahatañ’ anahareo tsy hitsikapy naho mahafitroatse anahareo ho tsy aman-kandra, an-kafaleam-bey mb’ añatrefan’ enge’e mb’eo,
Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory, with exceeding joy;
25 Ho aman’ Añahare tokañe mahihitse, Mpandrombak’ antikañe, ty engeñe naho volonahetse, fifeheañe vaho haozarañe, taolo’ ze sa, henaneo vaho nainai’e donia. Amena. (aiōn )
to God, alone our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now, and throughout all ages. Amen. (aiōn )
