Judas
Magandang Balita Biblia
1 Mula(A) kay Judas, lingkod[a] ni Jesu-Cristo at kapatid ni Santiago—
Para sa mga tinawag ng Diyos, mga namumuhay sa pag-ibig ng Diyos Ama at iniingatan ni Jesu-Cristo.
2 Sumagana nawa sa inyo ang habag, kapayapaan at pag-ibig.
Ang mga Huwad na Guro
3 Mga minamahal, ang nais ko sanang isulat sa inyo'y ang tungkol sa kaligtasang tinatamasa nating lahat, ngunit nakita kong ang kailangang isulat sa inyo'y isang panawagan na inyong ipaglaban ang pananampalatayang ipinagkaloob minsan at magpakailanman[b] sa mga banal, 4 sapagkat lihim na nakapasok sa inyong samahan ang ilang taong ayaw kumilala sa Diyos. Binabaluktot nila ang aral tungkol sa kagandahang-loob ng Diyos upang mabigyang katuwiran ang kanilang kahalayan. Ayaw nilang kilalanin si Jesu-Cristo, ang ating kaisa-isang Pinuno at Panginoon. Noon pa mang una, sinabi na ng kasulatan ang parusang nakalaan sa kanila.
5 Kahit(B) na alam na ninyo ang lahat ng ito, nais ko pa ring ipaalala sa inyo na matapos iligtas ng Panginoon[c] ang bansang Israel sa lupain ng Egipto, pinuksa niya ang mga taong hindi nanalig sa kanya. 6 Alalahanin din ninyo ang mga anghel na hindi nanatili sa kanilang dating kalagayan at kapangyarihan, sa halip ay iniwan ang kanilang tahanan. Kaya't sila'y ginapos ng Diyos ng di mapapatid na tanikala at ibinilanggo sa malalim na kadiliman, hanggang sa sila'y hatulan sa dakilang Araw ng Paghuhukom. 7 Alalahanin(C) din ninyo na ang Sodoma at Gomorra at mga karatig-lungsod ay nalulong sa kahalayan at di-likas na pagnanasa ng laman, kaya't sila'y pinarusahan sa apoy na hindi namamatay bilang babala sa lahat.
8 Ganyan din ang mga taong ito, dahil sa kanilang mga pangitain ay dinudungisan nila ang[d] kanilang sariling katawan, hinahamak nila ang maykapangyarihan at nilalait ang mariringal na anghel. 9 Kahit(D) si Miguel na pinuno ng mga anghel, nang makipagtalo siya sa diyablo tungkol sa bangkay ni Moises, ay hindi nangahas gumamit ng paglapastangan. Ang tanging sinabi niya ay, “Parusahan ka nawa ng Panginoon!” 10 Ngunit nilalapastangan ng mga taong ito ang anumang hindi nila nauunawaan. Sila ay tulad ng mga hayop na ang sinusunod lamang ay ang kanilang damdamin, na siya namang magpapahamak sa kanila. 11 Kakila-kilabot ang sasapitin nila sapagkat sumunod sila sa halimbawa ni Cain. Tulad ni Balaam, hindi sila nag-atubiling gumawa ng kamalian dahil lamang sa salapi. Naghimagsik silang tulad ni Korah, kaya't sila'y namatay ding katulad niya.
12 Napakalaking kahihiyan at kasiraang-puri ang sila'y makasama ninyo sa mga salu-salong pangmagkakapatid. Wala silang iniintindi kundi ang kanilang sarili. Para silang mga ulap na tinatangay ng hangin ngunit hindi nagdadala ng ulan; mga punongkahoy na binunot na pati ugat at talagang patay na dahil hindi namumunga kahit sa kapanahunan. 13 Sila'y mga alon sa dagat na ang bula ay ang kanilang mga gawang kahiya-hiya; mga ligaw na bituin na nakalaan sa kadiliman magpakailanman.
14 Tungkol(E) din sa kanila ang pahayag ni Enoc, na kabilang sa ikapitong salinlahi mula kay Adan. Sinabi niya, “Tingnan ninyo! Dumarating ang Panginoon kasama ang kanyang libu-libong mga banal na anghel 15 upang hatulan ang lahat. Paparusahan niya ang lahat ng ayaw kumilala sa Diyos dahil sa kanilang mga kasamaan at paglapastangan sa Diyos!” 16 Ang mga taong ito'y walang kasiyahan, mapamintas, sumusunod sa kanilang mga pagnanasa, mayayabang, at sanay mambola para makuha ang gusto nila.
Mga Babala at mga Payo
17 Mga minamahal, alalahanin ninyo ang sinabi ng mga apostol ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 18 Noon(F) pa'y sinabi na nila sa inyo, “Sa huling panahon, may lilitaw na mga taong mapanlait at sumusunod sa masasamang pagnanasa ng laman.” 19 Ito ang mga taong lumilikha ng pagkakabaha-bahagi, mga makamundo at wala sa kanila ang Espiritu.
20 Ngunit magpakatatag kayo, mga minamahal, sa inyong kabanal-banalang pananampalataya. Manalangin kayo sa tulong ng Espiritu Santo. 21 Manatili kayo sa pag-ibig ng Diyos habang naghihintay kayo sa ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo na magkakaloob sa inyo ng buhay na walang hanggan dahil sa kanyang habag sa atin.
22 Kaawaan[e] ninyo ang mga nag-aalinlangan. 23 Agawin ninyo ang iba upang mailigtas sa apoy. Ang iba nama'y kaawaan ninyo nang may halong takot; kasuklaman ninyo pati ang mga damit nilang nabahiran ng kahalayan.
Bendisyon
24 Sa kanya na makapag-iingat sa inyo upang hindi kayo magkasala, at makakapagharap sa inyo nang walang kapintasan at may malaking kagalakan sa kanyang kaluwalhatian, 25 sa iisang Diyos na ating Tagapagligtas, sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo na Panginoon natin, sa kanya ang kaluwalhatian, kadakilaan, kapamahalaan at kapangyarihan, mula pa noong una, ngayon at magpakailanman! Amen.

犹大书
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 我是耶稣基督的奴仆、雅各的兄弟犹大，现在写信给蒙父上帝呼召、眷爱、被耶稣基督看顾的人。
2 愿上帝丰丰富富地赐给你们怜悯、平安和慈爱！
捍卫真道
3 亲爱的弟兄姊妹，我一直迫切地想写信跟你们谈谈我们所共享的救恩，但现在我觉得有必要写信劝勉你们竭力护卫一次就完整地交给圣徒的真道。 4 因为有些不敬虔的人偷偷地混进你们中间，以上帝的恩典作借口，放纵情欲，否认独一的主宰——我们的主耶稣基督。圣经上早已记载，这样的人必受到审判。
前车之鉴
5 以下的事情，你们虽然都知道，但我还要再提醒你们：从前上帝[a]把祂的子民从埃及救出来，后来把其中不信的人灭绝了。 6 至于不守本分、擅离岗位的天使，上帝也用锁链将他们永远囚禁在幽暗里，等候最后审判的大日子到来。 7 此外，所多玛、蛾摩拉及其附近城镇的人同样因为荒淫无度、沉溺于变态的情欲而遭到永火的刑罚。这些事都成为我们的警戒。
假教师的恶行
8 同样，这些做梦的人玷污自己的身体，不服权柄，亵渎有尊荣的。 9 当天使长米迦勒为摩西的尸体跟魔鬼争辩的时候，尚且不敢用毁谤的话谴责它，只说：“愿主责罚你！” 10 这些人却毁谤自己不明白的事，像没有理性的野兽一样凭本能行事，结果自取灭亡。 11 他们大祸临头了！他们步了该隐的后尘，为谋利而重蹈巴兰的谬误，又像可拉一样因叛逆而灭亡。 12 这些人在你们的爱宴中是败类[b]。他们肆无忌惮地吃喝，是只顾喂养自己的牧人；是没有雨的云，随风飘荡；是深秋不结果子的树，被连根拔起，彻底枯死。 13 他们是海中的狂涛，翻动着自己可耻的泡沫，是流荡的星星，有幽幽黑暗永远留给他们。
14 亚当的第七代子孙以诺曾经针对这些人说预言：“看啊！主率领祂千万的圣者一同降临， 15 要审判所有的人，按不虔不敬的罪人所行的恶事和他们亵渎上帝的话定他们的罪。” 16 这些人满腹牢骚，怨天尤人，放纵自己的邪情私欲。他们口出狂言，为了谋利而阿谀奉承他人。
牢记警告
17 亲爱的弟兄姊妹，要谨记主耶稣基督的使徒从前给你们的警告。 18 他们曾对你们说：“末世的时候，必定有不敬虔、好讥笑的人放纵自己的邪情私欲。” 19 这些人制造分裂，血气用事，心中没有圣灵。
20 亲爱的弟兄姊妹，你们要在至圣的真道上造就自己，在圣灵的引导下祷告， 21 常在上帝的爱中，等候我们主耶稣基督施怜悯赐给你们永生。
22 那些心存疑惑的人，你们要怜悯他们； 23 有些人，你们要将他们从火中抢救出来；还有些人，你们要怀着畏惧的心怜悯他们，甚至要厌恶被他们的邪情私欲玷污的衣服。
祝颂
24 愿荣耀归给我们的救主——独一的上帝！祂能保守你们不失足犯罪，使你们无瑕无疵、欢欢喜喜地站在祂的荣耀面前。 25 愿荣耀、威严、能力和权柄借着我们的主耶稣基督都归给祂，从万世以前直到现今，一直到永永远远。阿们！
Jude
King James Version
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Jude
New King James Version
Greeting to the Called
1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and (A)brother of James,
To those who are (B)called, [a]sanctified by God the Father, and (C)preserved in Jesus Christ:
2 Mercy, (D)peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Contend for the Faith
3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you (E)concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting (F)you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord [b]God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Old and New Apostates
5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that (G)the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their [c]proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as (H)Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the [d]vengeance of eternal fire.
8 (I)Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and (J)speak evil of [e]dignitaries. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in [f]contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, (K)“The Lord rebuke you!” 10 (L)But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way (M)of Cain, (N)have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished (O)in the rebellion of Korah.
Apostates Depraved and Doomed
12 These are [g]spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried [h]about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 (P)raging waves of the sea, (Q)foaming up their own shame; wandering stars (R)for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the (S)harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
Apostates Predicted
16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they (T)mouth great swelling words, (U)flattering people to gain advantage. 17 (V)But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that (W)there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19 These are [i]sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
Maintain Your Life with God
20 But you, beloved, (X)building yourselves up on your most holy faith, (Y)praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, (Z)looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And on some have compassion, [j]making a distinction; 23 but (AA)others save [k]with fear, (AB)pulling them out of the [l]fire, hating even (AC)the garment defiled by the flesh.
Glory to God
24 (AD)Now to Him who is able to keep [m]you from stumbling,
And (AE)to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
25 To [n]God our Savior,
[o]Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and [p]power,
Both now and forever.
Amen.
