致候辞
1:1 耶稣基督的仆人,雅各伯的兄弟犹达,致书给在天主父内蒙爱,为耶稣基督而保存的蒙召者。
1:2 愿仁慈、平安、爱情丰富地赐予你们。
写信的动机
1:3 亲爱的,我早已切望给你们写信,讨论我们共享的救恩;但现在不得不给你们写信,劝勉你们应奋斗,维护从前一次而永远传与圣徒的信仰。
1:4 因为有些早已被注定要受审判的人,潜入你们中间;他们是邪恶的人,竟把我们天主的恩宠,变为放纵情欲的机会,并否认我们独一的主宰和主耶稣基督。
引史事为戒
1:5 虽然你们一次而永远知道这一切,但我仍愿提醒你们:主固然由埃及地救出了百姓,随後却把那些不信的人消灭了;
1:6 至於那些没有保持自己尊位,而离弃自己居所的天使,主也用永远的锁链,把他们拘留在幽暗中,以等候那伟大日子的审判;
1:7 同样,索多玛和哈摩辣及其附近的城市,因为也和他们一样恣意行淫,随从逆性的肉欲,至今受着永火的刑罚,作为鉴戒。
异端人的素描
1:8 可是这些作梦的人照样玷污肉身,拒绝主权者,亵渎众尊荣者。
1:9 当总领天使弥额尔,为了梅瑟的 体和魔鬼激烈争辩时,尚且不敢以侮辱的言词下判决,而只说:「愿主叱责你!」
1:10 这些人却不然,凡他们所不明白的事就亵渎,而他们按本性所体验的事,却像无理性的畜牲一样,就在这些事上败坏自己。
1:11 这些人是有祸的!因为他们走了加音的路,为图利而自陷於巴郎的错误,并因科辣黑一样的叛逆,而自取灭亡。
1:12 这些人是你们爱宴上的污点,他们同人宴乐,毫无廉耻,只顾自肥;他们像无水的浮云,随风飘 ;又像晚秋不结果实,死了又死,该连根拔出来的树木;
1:13 像海里的怒涛,四下飞溅他们无耻的白 ;又像出轨的行星,为他们所存留的,乃是直到永远的黑暗的幽冥。
1:14 针对这些人,亚当後第七代圣祖哈诺客也曾预言说:「看,主带着他千万的圣者降来,
1:15 要审判众人,指证一切恶人所行的一切恶事,和邪辟的人所说的一切亵渎他的言语。」
1:16 这些人好出怨言,不满命运;按照自己的私欲行事,他们的口好说大话,为了利益而奉承他人。
劝信友提防放荡的人
1:17 但是你们,亲爱的,你们要记得我们的主,耶稣基督的宗徒所预言过的话,
1:18 他们曾向你们说过:「到末期,必有一些好嘲弄人的人,按照他们个人邪恶的私欲行事。」
1:19 这就是那些好分党分派,属於血肉,没有圣神的人。
信友应如何持身待人
1:20 可是你们,亲爱的,你们要把自己建 在你们至圣的信德上,在圣神内祈祷;
1:21 这样保存你们自己常在天主的爱内,期望赖我们的主耶稣基督的仁慈,入於永生。
1:22 对那些怀疑不信的人,你们要说服;
1:23 对另一些人,你们要拯救,把他们从火里拉出来;但对另一些人,你们固然要怜悯,可是应存戒惧的心,甚至连他们肉身所玷污了的内衣,也要憎恶。
结语 致候辞
1:24 愿那能保护你们不失足,并能叫你们无瑕地,在欢跃中立在他光荣面前的,
1:25 惟一的天主,我们的救主,藉我们的主耶稣基督,获享光荣、尊威、主权和能力,于万世之前,现在,至于无穷之世。阿们。

JB JUDE Chapter 1
Address
1:1 From Jude, servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James; to those who are called, to those who are dear to God the Father and kept safe for Jesus Christ,
1:2 wishing you all mercy and peace and love.
The reason for this letter
1:3 My dear friends, at a time when I was eagerly looking forward to writing to you about the salvation that we all share, I have been forced to write to you now and appeal to you to fight hard for the faith which has been once and for all entrusted to the saints.
1:4 Certain people have infiltrated among you, and they are the ones you had a warning about, in writing, long ago, when they were condemned for denying all religion, turning the grace of our God into immorality, and rejecting our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
The false teachers: the certainty of their punishment
1:5 I should like to remind you-though you have already learnt it once and for all-how the Lord rescued the nation from Egypt, but afterwards he still destroyed the men who did not trust him.
1:6 Next let me remind you of the angels who had supreme authority but did not keep it and left their appointed sphere;[*a] he has kept them down in the dark, in spiritual chains, to be judged on the great day.
1:7 The fornication of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other nearby towns was equally unnatural, and it is a warning to us that they are paying for their crimes in eternal fire.
Their violent language
1:8 Nevertheless, these people are doing the same: in their delusions they not only defile their bodies and disregard authority, but abuse the glorious angels as well.
1:9 Not even the archangel Michael, when he was engaged in argument with the devil about the corpse of Moses, dared to denounce him in the language of abuse; all he said was, ‘Let the Lord correct you’.
1:10 But these people abuse anything they do not understand; and the only things they do understand – just by nature like unreasoning animals-will turn out to be fatal to them.
Their vicious behaviour
1:11 May they get what they deserve, because they have followed Cain; they have rushed to make the same mistake as Balaam and for the same reward; they have rebelled just as Korah did-and share the same fate.
1:12 They are a dangerous obstacle to your community meals, coming for the food and quite shamelessly only looking after themselves. They are like clouds blown about by the winds and bringing no rain, or like barren trees which are then uprooted in the winter and so are twice dead;
1:13 like wild sea waves capped with shame as if with foam; or like shooting stars bound for an eternity of black darkness.
1:14 It was with them in mind that Enoch, the seventh patriarch from Adam, made his prophecy when he said, ‘I tell you, the Lord will come with his saints in their tens of thousands,
1:15 to pronounce judgement on all mankind and to sentence the wicked for all the wicked things they have done, and for all the defiant things said against him by irreligious sinners’.
1:16 They are mischief-makers, grumblers governed only by their own desires, with mouths full of boastful talk, ready with flattery for other people when they see some advantage in it.
A warning
1:17 But remember, my dear friends, what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you to expect.
1:18 ‘At the end of time,’ they told you ‘there are going to be people who sneer at religion and follow nothing but their own desires for wickedness.’
1:19 These unspiritual and selfish people are nothing but mischief-makers.
The duties of love
1:20 But you, my dear friends, must use your most holy faith as your foundation and build on that, praying in the Holy Spirit;
1:21 keep yourselves within the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you eternal life.
1:22 When there are some who have doubts reassure them;
1:23 when there are some to be saved from the fire, pull them out; but there are others to whom you must be kind with great caution, keeping your distance even from outside clothing which is contaminated by vice.
Doxology
1:24 Glory be to him who can keep you from falling and bring you safe to his glorious presence, innocent and happy.
1:25 To God, the only God, who saves us through Jesus Christ our Lord, be the glory, majesty, authority and power, which he had before time began, now and for ever. Amen.
