¹Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

¹Juda, Jesu Kris sikha leh Jakob unauin, Pa Pathiana deihtak, Jesu Kris adinga sit, sapte kiangah:

²Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.

²Hehpihnate, lemnate, itnate na tunguah hihkhanin om hen.

³Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.

³Deihtakte aw, i kikop hotdamna thu na kiang ua gelh ka tup teitei lain, misiangthoute kianga ginna khatvei kepsak lamah phatuam ngai taka pang dinga honhasuan dingin na kiang ua lai gelh a kiphamoh chih kana theia.

⁴For there are certain men crept in privily, [even] they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁴Mi kuatehiam a guka hong lut a om ngal ua, nidang laia pan hiai siamlouhtanna dia sehte; huaite tuh Pathian hehpihna akaikawiin, i Heutupa leh i Toupa neih sun, Jesu Kris tuh a kitheihmohbawl behlap uhi.

⁵Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

⁵Huan, bangkim khatveiin thei vek mahle uchin, Toupan Aigupta gama kipana mite a suahtaksaka, huai nung gingtaloute tuh a hihmanthat dan nou hontheihsak nawn ka ut ahi.

⁶And angels that kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

⁶Huan, angel te amau sawltak hihna jui loua, a omna ngeingei uh paisan zote tuh, ni thupi vaihawmnaa dinga mial nuaia khantawn henna hen kawmin a sit ahi.

⁷Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

⁷Sodom leh Gomorra, a kiang kim ua khuate toh, huchibangmaha kingaihnaa kipumpiaka, gitlouhna leklua a delh sam tak jiak un, khantawna meia gawtna thuaka, theihsakna dinga suankhiaka a om bang un.

⁸Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities.

⁸Himahleh, huaiten leng, huchi bang mahin, a deihthusam bang un sa tuh a hihthanghuai ua, vaihawm sakna a musit ua, thupinate a gense nak uhi.

⁹But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

⁹Himahleh, Mikael angel tungunngpenin bawn, diabol toh a kisel ua, Mosi luang thua a kinak lai un a tungthu gen sakin amah a gense ngam kei hi, Toupan hontai jaw hen, a chi zota hi.

¹⁰But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.

¹⁰Huai miten bel thil a theih louh peuhmah uh a gense jel ua; huan ngaihtuahna neilou ganhingte banga theihsiamna pianpih a neihte un, huai lampang mahmah ah a kihehse naknak uhi.

¹¹Woe unto them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.

¹¹A tung ua a gik hi! Kaina lampi a jui ua, punna delhin Balaam mohnaah hahtaiin a tai ua, Kora thukalhna ah a mangthangta uhi.

¹²These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

¹²Hiaite tuh ahi uh, na itna-ankuangluina ua hihmelhemtu leh lauhuai kiselte- amau mah kikem, angsung ngaihtuaha, maingaltaka tathangte; mei tuipai lou, huih mut lengte ahi ua; phavanga sing, gah lou, nihvei sisa, a zung toh bohkhiakte ahi ua;

¹³Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved forever.

¹³Tuipi kihawt vonvon, amau zahlakna thankhia ahi ua; aksi vialvak, amau dia khantawna mial bingbikbek sit sakte ahi uhi.

¹⁴And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,

¹⁴Huan, Enok, Adam akipana sagihnain hiaite tungtang nagenkholin, Ngai un, Toupa tuh a mi siangthou singkhatte toh a hongpai ahi, chiin,

¹⁵to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

¹⁵mi tengteng tunga vaihawm ding leh, Pathian limsak loute tengteng Pathian limsak louhna na Pathian limsak loutunga a sep tengteng uah leh, Pathian limsak loumikhialten a tunga thukhauh tak a gen tengteng ua siamlouh tangsak dingin.

¹⁶These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words]), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage.

¹⁶Huaite tuh phunhatte leh ngohhatte ahi ua, amau utna bengjel in a om ua, a kamte khawng un leng kiotsakna thu a gen gawpgawp a, punna deih manin i a deih uhi.

¹⁷But ye, beloved, remember ye the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁷Himahleh, deihtakte aw, noujaw i Toupa Jesu Kris sawltakten thu a genkholhte uh theigige un;

¹⁸That they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.

¹⁸hunnanungah te Pathian limsak loulam amau utna bang jela omin, nuihsanhatte a hongom ding uhi, chih na kiang ua a gendan khawng uh.

¹⁹These are they who make separations, sensual, having not the Spirit.

¹⁹Huai mite tuh sa mi, Kha neilou, pawl tuamte bawlte tuh ahi uhi.

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

²⁰Himahleh, deihtakte, nou jaw na ginna siangthou uh tunga noumau leh noumau kilem touin, Kha Siangthoua thumin,

²¹keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

²¹khantawn hinna neihsakna khop i Toupa Jesu Kris hehpihna tuh ngak kawmin, Pathian itna a kikem hoih un.

²²And on some have mercy, who are in doubt;

²²Khenkhatte, ginglaha omte tuh hehpih unla;

²³and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

²³Khenkhatte, meia kipanin la khe zok unla, hondam un; khenkhatte, a sa thanghuai banna uh puansilh lam leng kihin, lau kawmin hehpih un.

²⁴Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,

²⁴Tuin, na puk louhna ding ua honveng thei leh, a thupina ma taka nakpi taka nuamsaa nin bangloua nou hon koih theipa,Hondampa Pathian tak kia kiangah, i Toups Jesu Kris jiakin, hun himhim om ma leh tu leh khantawn dongin, pahtawinate thupinate, vaihawmate, thuneihnate om hen. Amen.

²⁵to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen.

²⁵Hondampa Pathian tak kia kiangah, i Toups Jesu Kris jiakin, hun himhim om ma leh tu leh khantawn dongin, pahtawinate thupinate, vaihawmate, thuneihnate om hen. Amen.
