Siute 1
1Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:
1KO AU SIUTE, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, mo e tokoua ʻo Semisi, kiate kinautolu kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, pea kuo fakamoʻui ʻe Sisu Kalaisi, ko e uiuiʻi:
2May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
2Ke tupulekina pe kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pe, mo e melino, mo e ʻofa.
3Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
3ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, ʻi heʻeku fai fakatoʻotoʻo ʻaupito ke tohi atu kiate kimoutolu ki he fakamoʻui lahi, naʻe totonu ke u tohi kiate kimoutolu, mo enginaki ke mou fekuki fakamātoato koeʻuhi ko e tui naʻe ʻatu ʻi muʻa ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni.
4For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
4He ʻoku ai ʻae kau tangata kuo nau fetolofi fakapōloto, ʻakinautolu naʻe tohi ʻi muʻa ki he malaʻia ni, ko e kau tangata taʻelotu, ʻonau liliu ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻOtua ko e faianga angahala, ʻo fakafisinga ʻi he ʻEiki pe taha ko e ʻOtua ko hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
5Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
5Ko ia ʻoku ou loto ke fakamanatuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ka naʻa mou ʻilo muʻa ʻae meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ʻi he hili hono fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae kakai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ne toki fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ke tui.
6And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—
6Pea ko e kau ʻāngelo naʻe ʻikai ke tuʻumaʻu ʻi honau muʻaki ʻalunga, ka naʻa nau tukuange honau nofoʻanga, kuo ne tuku ke moʻua ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi haʻi taʻengata ʻoe fakapoʻuli ʻo aʻu ki he fakamaau ʻoe ʻaho lahi.
7just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
7ʻO hangē foki ko Sotoma mo Komola, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻa nau vāofi mo fai tatau, ʻonau tuku ʻakinautolu ki he feʻauaki, mo e muimui ki he feholikoviʻaki, kuo fokotuʻu ko e fakaʻilonga, ʻonau moʻua ʻi he totongi ʻoe afi taʻengata.
8Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones.
8ʻOku pehē foki ʻakinautolu ni, ʻae kau misi kovi, ʻoku nau ʻuliʻi ʻae sino, ʻo manukiʻi ʻae pule, mo lauʻikovi ʻae kau pule.
9But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”
9Ka ʻi he alea ʻa Maikeli ko e ʻāngelo lahi mo e tēvolo, naʻe fakakikihi ia ki he sino ʻo Mōsese, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tali ʻaki ia ha lea manuki, ka naʻa ne pehē, “Ke lōmia koe ʻe he ʻEiki.”
10But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively.
10Ka ʻoku lea kovi ʻakinautolu ni ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi: ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau ʻilo fakakakano pe fakataha mo e fanga manu taʻeloto, ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku nau ʻuliʻi ai ʻakinautolu.
11Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam’s error and perished in Korah’s rebellion.
11ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu! He kuo nau ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Keini, ʻo tāfea atu ki he hē ʻa Pelami koeʻuhi ko e totongi, pea nau ʻauha ʻi he angatuʻu ʻa Kola.
12These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;
12Ko e ngaahi ʻila ʻakinautolu ni ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi kātoanga ʻofa, ʻi heʻenau keinangaʻanga mo kimoutolu, ʻonau kai fekinaki mo taʻemanavahē: ko e ngaahi ʻao taʻeaihavai, ʻoku vilingia fano ʻe he ngaahi matangi; ko e ngaahi ʻakau fua mate, taʻefua, ʻo mate ʻangaua, kuo taʻaki fuʻu hake;
13wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
13Ko e ngaahi peau lili ʻoe tahi, ʻoku nau koā atu ʻenau fakamā; ko e ngaahi fetuʻu he fano pe, pea kuo tuku moʻonautolu ʻae ʻuliʻuli ʻoe fakapoʻuli taʻengata.
14It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
14Pea naʻe kikite kiate kinautolu ni foki ʻe ʻInoke, ko hono toko fitu meia ʻAtaina, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻae ʻEiki mo e ngaahi toko mano ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni.
15to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
15Ke fai ʻae fakamaau ki he kakai kotoa pē, mo fakamoʻoni ki he kakai taʻelotu kotoa pē ʻa ʻenau ngaahi ngāue fakataʻelotu kotoa pē ʻaia kuo nau fai ʻi he anga fakataʻelotu, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe he kau angahala taʻelotu kiate ia.”
16These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.
16Ko e kau lāunga mo hanu ʻakinautolu ni, ʻoku nau angimui ki he ngaahi holi kovi ʻanautolu; pea ʻoku lea fakapuhopuha ʻa honau ngutu, ʻonau filifilimānako ki he kakai koeʻuhi ko e koloa.
17But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
17Kae manatuʻi ʻekimoutolu, ko e ʻofeina, ki he ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻi muʻa ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi;
18They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”
18He naʻa nau fakahā kiate kimoutolu, “ʻE ai ʻae kau manuki ʻi he kuonga ki mui, pea te nau angimui ki he ngaahi holi fakataʻelotu ʻanautolu.”
19It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.
19Ko kinautolu ni ʻoku nau mavaheʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻoku fakakakano, ʻo taʻemaʻu ʻae Laumālie
20But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
20Ka ko kimoutolu, ko e ʻofeina, ke langa ʻaki hake ʻakimoutolu ki hoʻomou tui fungani māʻoniʻoni, pea lotu ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni,
21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
21ʻO tauhiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, mo ʻamanaki ki he ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pē ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ki he moʻui taʻengata.
22And have mercy on those who doubt;
22Pea ke manavaʻofa ki he niʻihi, ʻo fai kehekehe.
23save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
23Pea ko e niʻihi, ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ʻae fakamanavahē, ʻo hamusi mei he afi; ka mou fehiʻa pe ki he kofu kuo ʻuliʻi ʻe he kakano.
24Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,
24Pea ko eni, ke ʻiate ia ʻoku faʻa fai ke taʻofi ʻakimoutolu ke ʻoua naʻa mou hinga, pea ke ʻatu ʻakimoutolu taʻehalaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono nāunau mo e fiefia lahi ʻaupito,
25to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
25Ke ʻi he ʻOtua poto taha pe ko hotau Fakamoʻui, ʻae nāunau, mo e ongoongolelei mo e pule, mo e mālohi, ʻi heni mo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
