< Judas 1 >

1 Judas, servo de Jesus Christo, e irmão de Thiago, aos chamados, sanctificados pelo Deus Pae, e conservados por Jesus Christo:
Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James: To those who are in God the Father, enfolded in His love, and kept for Jesus Christ, and called.
2 Misericordia, e paz, e caridade vos sejam multiplicadas.
May mercy, peace and love be abundantly granted to you.
3 Amados, procurando eu escrever-vos com toda a diligencia ácerca da salvação commum, tive por necessidade escrever-vos, e exhortar-vos a batalhar pela fé que uma vez foi entregue aos sanctos.
Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.
4 Porque se introduziram alguns, que já d'antes estavam escriptos para este mesmo juizo, homens impios, que convertem em dissolução a graça de Deus, e negam a Deus, unico dominador e Senhor nosso, Jesus Christo.
For certain persons have crept in unnoticed--men spoken of in ancient writings as pre-destined to this condemnation--ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God into an excuse for immorality, and disown Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.
5 Porém quero lembrar-vos, como a quem já uma vez soube isto, que, havendo o Senhor salvo um povo, tirando-o da terra do Egypto, destruiu depois os que não creram;
I desire to remind you--although the whole matter is already familiar to you--that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but afterwards destroyed those who had no faith.
6 E aos anjos que não guardaram a sua origem, mas deixaram a sua propria habitação, reservou debaixo da escuridão, e em prisões eternas até ao juizo d'aquelle grande dia; (aïdios g126)
And angels--those who did not keep the position originally assigned to them, but deserted their own proper abode--He reserves in everlasting bonds, in darkness, in preparation for the judgement of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Como Sodoma e Gomorrah, e as cidades circumvisinhas, que, havendo fornicado como aquelles, e ido após outra carne, foram postas por exemplo, soffrendo a pena do fogo eterno. (aiōnios g166)
So also Sodom and Gomorrah--and the neighboring towns in the same manner--having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing. (aiōnios g166)
8 E comtudo tambem estes, similhantemente adormecidos, contaminam a carne, e rejeitam a dominação, e vituperam as dignidades.
Yet in just the same way these dreamers also pollute the body, while they set authority at naught and speak evil of dignities.
9 Porém o archanjo Miguel, quando contendia com o diabo, e disputava a respeito do corpo de Moysés, não ousou pronunciar juizo de maldição contra elle; porém disse: O Senhor te reprehenda.
But Michael the Archangel, when contending with the Devil and arguing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce judgement on him in abusive terms, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you."
10 Porém estes dizem mal do que não sabem; e o que naturalmente conhecem, como animaes irracionaes, n'isso se corrompem.
Yet these men are abusive in matters of which they know nothing, and in things which, like the brutes, they understand instinctively--in all these they corrupt themselves.
11 Ai d'elles! porque entraram pelo caminho de Caim, e foram levados pelo engano do galardão de Balaão, e pereceram pela contradicção de Coré.
Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!
12 Estes são manchas em vossas festas de caridade, banqueteando comvosco, e apascentando-se a si mesmos sem temor: são nuvens sem agua, levadas dos ventos de uma a outra parte: são como arvores murchas, infructiferas, duas vezes mortas, desarreigadas;
These men--sunken rocks! --are those who share the pleasure of your love-feasts, unrestrained by fear while caring only for themselves; clouds without water, driven away by the winds; trees that cast their fruit, barren, doubly dead, uprooted;
13 Ondas impetuosas do mar, que escumam as suas mesmas abominações: estrellas errantes, para os quaes está eternamente reservada a escuridão das trevas. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved dense darkness of age-long duration. (aiōn g165)
14 E d'estes prophetizou tambem Enoch, o setimo depois de Adão, dizendo: Eis que é vindo o Senhor com milhares de seus sanctos;
It was also about these that Enoch, who belonged to the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "The Lord has come, attended by myriads of His people, to execute judgement upon all,
15 Para fazer juizo contra todos e castigar d'entre elles todos os impios, por todas as suas obras de impiedade, que impiamente commetteram, e por todas as duras palavras que os impios peccadores disseram contra elle.
and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the hard words which they, ungodly sinners as they are, have spoken against Him."
16 Estes são murmuradores, queixosos da sua sorte, andando segundo as suas concupiscencias, e cuja bocca falla coisas mui arrogantes, admirando as pessoas por causa do proveito.
These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of the advantage they can gain.
17 Mas vós, amados, lembrae-vos das palavras que vos foram preditas pelos apostolos de nosso Senhor Jesus Christo:
But as for you, my dearly-loved friends, remember the words that before now were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ--
18 Como vos diziam que no ultimo tempo haveria escarnecedores que andariam segundo as suas impias concupiscencias.
how they declared to you, "In the last times there shall be scoffers, obeying only their own ungodly passions."
19 Estes são os que se separam a si mesmos, sensuaes, que não teem o Espirito.
These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual.
20 Mas vós, amados, edificando-vos a vós mesmos sobre a vossa sanctissima fé, orando no Espirito Sancto,
But you, my dearly-loved friends, building yourselves up on the basis of your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 Conservae-vos a vós mesmos na caridade de Deus, esperando a misericordia de nosso Senhor Jesus Christo para a vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
22 E apiedae-vos de alguns que estão duvidosos;
Some, when they argue with you, you must endeavor to convince;
23 Mas salvae os outros por temor, e arrebatae-os do fogo, aborrecendo até a roupa manchada da carne.
others you must try to save, as brands plucked from the flames; and on others look with pity mingled with fear, while you hate every trace of their sin.
24 Ora, áquelle que é poderoso para vos guardar de tropeçar, e apresentar-vos irreprehensiveis, com alegria, perante a sua gloria,
But to Him who is able to keep you safe from stumbling, and cause you to stand in the presence of His glory free from blemish and full of exultant joy--
25 Ao unico Deus, Salvador nosso, por Jesus Christo, nosso Senhor, seja gloria e magestade, dominio e poder, antes de todos os seculos, agora, e para todo o sempre. Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Saviour--through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before all time, is now, and shall be to all the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
