< 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 those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Ampitoaboreñe ama’ areo ty fitretrezañe naho ty fañanintsiñe vaho ty fikokoañe.
May mercy, 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, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all 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 there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and 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,
Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t 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 )
Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for 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 )
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 Toe manahake izay iretiañe, ie mametaveta sandriñe amo anofisa’ iareoo, mañarinje mpanandily, vaho mañinje o amam-bolonahetseo.
Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
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!
But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”
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 speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.
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.
Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.
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 are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 onjan-driake mivalitaboake mandoa voren-kameñarañe; vasiañe mirererere nañajàñe ieñe mimoromoroñe zafezanake. (aiōn )
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (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,
About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
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 execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, 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, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 Ie amy zao, ry rañetse, tiahio i saontsy nente’ o Firàhe’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañeio taoloy;
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before 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.
They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
19 Ie mpampiriaria—mpañorike ty draon-troke, tsy amañ’Arofo.
These are those who cause divisions and are 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, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
21 tambozoro i fikokoan’ Añaharey, itamao ty fiferenaiña’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey minday haveloñe nainai’ey. (aiōnios )
Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Rambeso an-tretrè o ila’e mihañahañao.
On some have compassion, making a distinction,
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.
and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained 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 keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great 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 our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn )
