¹Judas, of Jesus Christ a servant, and brother of James, to those sanctified in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept — called,

¹Juudas, Jeesuse Kristuse sulane, Jaakobuse vend - Jumalas Isas armastatud ja Jeesuses Kristuses hoitud kutsutuile:

²kindness to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied!

²Halastust teile ning rahu ja armastust saagu rohkesti!

³Beloved, all diligence using to write to you concerning the common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting to agonize for the faith once delivered to the saints,

³Armsad, ma olen igati püüdnud teile kirjutada meie ühisest päästest, ja nüüd muutuski möödapääsmatuks kirjutada teile, et ergutada teid võitlema pühadele kord antud usu pärast.

⁴for there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only Master, God, and Lord — Jesus Christ — denying,

⁴Sest teie hulka on end poetanud mõningad inimesed, kes juba muiste on ette kirja pandud selleks kohtuks: jumalakartmatud, kes meie Jumala armu kõlvatuseks pöörates salgavad ära ka ainsa Valitseja ja meie Issanda, Jeesuse Kristuse.

⁵and to remind you I intend, you knowing once this, that the Lord, a people out of the land of Egypt having saved, again those who did not believe did destroy;

⁵Aga ma tahan meenutada teile, kes te seda kõike küll juba teate, et Issand, kui ta kord oli päästnud rahva Egiptusemaalt, teisel korral hukkas uskmatud,

⁶messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but did leave their proper dwelling, to a judgment of a great day, in bonds everlasting, under darkness He hath kept,

⁶ning et ta ingleidki, kes ei hoidnud kinni oma päritolust, vaid hülgasid oma eluaseme, säilitab pilkase pimeduse all jäädavais ahelais suure päeva kohtuni.

⁷as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone after other flesh, have been set before — an example, of fire age-during, justice suffering.

⁷Nii nagu ka Soodoma ja Gomorra ja nende ümberkaudsed linnad, kes samal kombel hoorasid nagu need inglid ning jooksid ebaloomulike himude järgi, seisavad juba hoiatuseks igavese tule karistuse kandjatena.

⁸In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming also the flesh indeed do defile, and lordship they put away, and dignities they speak evil of,

⁸Otse nõndasamuti ju pilastavad ka need unenägijad ihu, lükkavad kõrvale Issanda valitsuse ja teotavad kirkuseingleid.

⁹yet Michael, the chief messenger, when, with the devil contending, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring up an evil-speaking judgment, but said, `The Lord rebuke thee!`

⁹Aga peaingel Miikael, kui ta riidles ja vaidles kuradiga Moosese keha pärast, ei julgenud lausuda teotavat otsust, vaid ütles: 'Issand sõidelgu sind!'

¹⁰and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted;

¹⁰Kuid need teotavad ju kõike, mida nad ei tunne. Millest nad aga loomu poolest nagu mõistuseta loomad aru saavad, selles nad hukutavad end.

¹¹wo to them! because in the way of Cain they did go on, and to the deceit of Balaam for reward they did rush, and in the gainsaying of Korah they did perish.

¹¹Häda neile, sest nad on läinud Kaini teed ja andunud tasu eest Bileami eksitusele ning Korahi kombel vastuhakkamise läbi hukkunud!

¹²These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

¹²Nemad on need teie armastussöömaaegade mustuseplekid, kes kartmatult teiega koos pidutsedes iseennast nuumavad. Nad on tuulte aetavad veeta pilved, hilissügisesed viljatud puud, ülesjuuritult kahekordselt surnud,

¹³wild waves of a sea, foaming out their own shames; stars going astray, to whom the gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept.

¹³oma häbi välja vahutavad metsikud merelained, ekslevad tähed, kelle jaoks on hoitud pilkane pimedus igavesti.

¹⁴And prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam — Enoch — saying, `Lo, the Lord did come in His saintly myriads,

¹⁴Aga nende kohta on ka Eenok, seitsmes Aadamast, ennustanud: 'Vaata, Issand tuleb mitmekümne tuhande pühaga

¹⁵to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak against Him did impious sinners.`

¹⁵pidama kohut kõigi üle ja karistama iga hinge kõikide nende jumalakartmatute tegude eest, mis nad jumalakartmatult on teinud, ja kõikide kalkide sõnade eest, mida jumalakartmatud patused on tema vastu rääkinud.'

¹⁶These are murmurers, repiners; according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;

¹⁶Need on nurisevad saatusekirujad, oma himude järgi käijad, kelle suu räägib õõnsaid sõnu, ja nad lipitsevad inimeste ees kasu pärast.

¹⁷and ye, beloved, remember ye the sayings spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁷Teie aga, armsad, meenutage meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse apostlite sõnu, mida nad juba enne on rääkinud.

¹⁸that they said to you, that in the last time there shall be scoffers, after their own desires of impieties going on,

¹⁸Sest nad ütlesid teile, et viimsel ajal tuleb oma jumalakartmatute himude järgi käivaid pilkajaid.

¹⁹these are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the Spirit not having.

¹⁹Need on lõhede tekitajad, maised, kellel ei ole Vaimu.

²⁰And ye, beloved, on your most holy faith building yourselves up, in the Holy Spirit praying,

²⁰Teie aga, armsad, olles rajanud endid oma kõige pühamale usule ja palvetades Pühas Vaimus,

²¹yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ — to life age-during;

²¹hoidke endid Jumala armastuses, oodates meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse halastust igaveseks eluks.

²²and to some be kind, judging thoroughly,

²²Ja halastage nende peale, kes kahtlevad,

²³and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted.

²³päästke neid tulest välja kiskudes. Teiste peale halastage aga kartuses, vihates lihaliku loomuse poolt rüvetatud rüüdki.

²⁴And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set [you] in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,

²⁴Temale, kes suudab teid hoida komistamast ja panna laitmatuna oma kirkuse palge ette hõiskama,

²⁵to the only wise God our Saviour, [is] glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and to all the ages! Amen.

²⁵ainsale Jumalale, meie Päästjale, olgu Jeesuse Kristuse, meie Issanda läbi kirkus, üllus, võimus ja meelevald enne kõiki aegu ja nüüd ja kõigi aegadeni! Aamen.
