¹Jude, bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called ones beloved in God [the] Father and preserved in Jesus Christ:

¹¶ Na Hura, he pononga na Ihu Karaiti, he teina no Hemi, ki te hunga kua oti te whakatapu e te Atua Matua, he mea tiaki i roto i a Ihu Karaiti, he hunga karanga:

²Mercy to you, and peace, and love be multiplied.

²Kia whakanuia ki a koutou te mahi tohu, te rangimarie me te aroha.

³Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.

³¶ E nga hoa aroha, i ahau e takare tonu ana ki te tuhituhi ki a koutou mo to tatou whakaoranga tahi, i mea ahau me tuhituhi ki a koutou, me whakahauhau kia kaha te tohe ki te whakapono kua oti nei te tuku mai ki te hunga tapu.

⁴For certain men have got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly [persons], turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴Kua tomo puku mai hoki etahi tangata, ko era ano i tuhituhia i mua mo tenei whakataunga he, he hunga karakiakore, e whakaputa ke ana ratou i te aroha noa o to tatou Atua hei mea mo nga hiahia taikaha, a whakakahore ana ratou ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, ko ia anake to tatou Ariki.

⁵But I would put you in remembrance, you who once knew all things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of [the] land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed those who had not believed.

⁵Na, e mea ana ahau kia whakamaharatia koutou, kua matau noa ake ano ia koutou ki tenei, i whakaorangia mai e te Ariki te iwi i te whenua o Ihipa, muri iho whakangaromia ana e ia te hunga kihai nei i whakapono.

⁶And angels who had not kept their own original state, but had abandoned their own dwelling, he keeps in eternal chains under gloomy darkness, to [the] judgment of [the] great day;

⁶Na, ko nga anahera, kihai nei i mau ki to ratou ake rohe, heoi whakarerea ana to ratou nohoanga ake, kua waiho e ia i raro i te pouri, mau tonu te here ki nga mekameka, mo te whakawa o te ra nui.

⁷as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them, committing greedily fornication, in like manner with them, and going after other flesh, lie there as an example, undergoing the judgment of eternal fire.

⁷Ka rite ki Horoma, ki Komora, ki nga pa hoki i tata ki reira, i pera me enei, te moepuku, te whai i nga kikokiko ke; kua waiho ratou hei tohu, pangia ana ratou e te whiu, ara e te ahi ka tonu.

⁸Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile [the] flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities.

⁸¶ Ko ta tenei hunga moemoea ano hoki tena; e whakapoke ana i te kikokiko, e whakahawea ana ki te kawanatanga, e korero kino ana ki nga rangatira.

⁹But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil he reasoned about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a railing judgment against [him], but said, [The] Lord rebuke thee.

⁹Ko Mikaera ia, ko te tino anahera, i ta raua ngangautanga ko te rewera, i a ia e tohe ana ki te tinana o Mohi, kihai i tae tona aro ki te kupu kanga i te whakawakanga; i mea kau ia, Ma te Ariki koe e riri.

¹⁰But these, whatever things they know not, they speak railingly against; but what even, as the irrational animals, they understand by mere nature, in these things they corrupt themselves.

¹⁰Ko enei ia, e korerotia kinotia ana e ratou nga mea kahore nei ratou i matau; na, ko nga mea e matauria noatia ake nei e ratou pera i nga kararehe whakaarokore, he iho ratou i aua mea.

¹¹Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain, and given themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

¹¹Aue te mate mo ratou! kua haere nei hoki ratou i te ara o Kaina, kua torere rawa hoki ki te he, ara ki to Paraama utu, na ko to Koraha totohe hei whakangaromanga mo ratou.

¹²These are spots in your love-feasts, feasting together [with you] without fear, pasturing themselves; clouds without water, carried along by [the] winds; autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

¹²He toka moana ratou i roto i a koutou hakari aroha, i a ratou e hakari tahi ana me koutou, he hepara e whangai ana i a ratou ano, kahore hoki e mataku; he kapua waikore e akina ana e nga hau; he rakau kua ngahoro nei nga rau, he mea huakore, ka rua nei nga matenga, he mea kua unuhia ake i nga pakiaka;

¹³raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity.

¹³He ngaru pua no te moana, e whakatutu ana i te huka o to ratou whakama; he whetu atiutiu noa, pouri kerekere te wahi kua rite mo ratou mo ake tonu atu.

¹⁴And Enoch, [the] seventh from Adam, prophesied also as to these, saying, Behold, [the] Lord has come amidst his holy myriads,

¹⁴I poropititia ano hoki enei e Enoka, e te tuawhitu i muri i a Arama, i a ia i mea, Na, kei te haere mai te Ariki me nga mano tini o tana hunga tapu,

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

¹⁵¶ Kia whakaritea he whakawa mo nga tangata katoa, kia riria hoki te hunga karakiakore o ratou mo a ratou mahi takahi i te karakia katoa, i he ai ratou ki te karakia, mo nga kupu pakeke katoa i korerotia e te hunga hara, e te hunga karakiakore, mon a.

¹⁶These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of profit.

¹⁶He hunga amuamu ratou, he kowhetewhete, e haere ana i runga i o ratou hiahia ake, tetere rawa ano hoki nga kupu e korero nei o ratou mangai, he hunga whakapai kanohi ratou, he mea kia riro ai he mea ma ratou.

¹⁷But *ye*, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁷E nga hoa aroha, kia mahara koutou ki nga kupu i korerotia i mua e nga apotoro a to tatou Ariki, a Ihu Karaiti;

¹⁸that they said to you, that at [the] end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses.

¹⁸I mea hoki ratou ki a koutou, Tera e puta mai te hunga whakamanumanu a te wa whakamutunga, e haere ana i runga i o ratou hiahia karakiakore.

¹⁹These are they who set [themselves] apart, natural [men], not having [the] Spirit.

¹⁹Na enei nga titorehanga, he hunga hiahia hoki ki te kikokiko kahore nei i a ratou te Wairua.

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

²⁰Ko koutou ia, e nga hoa aroha, hanga ake koutou hei whare ki runga ki to koutou whakapono tapu rawa, me te inoi ano i roto i te Wairua Tapu,

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

²¹Me te tiaki ano i a koutou i runga i te aroha o te Atua, me te tatari ano ki te mahi tohu a to tatou Ariki, a Ihu Karaiti, a te ora tonu ra ano.

²²And of some have compassion, making a difference,

²²Ko etahi ano tohungia, e ruarua tonu nei nga whakaaro.

²³but others save with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

²³Ko etahi me whakaora, ka to mai i roto i te kapura; a ko etahi tohungia i runga i te mataku; me te weriweri rawa ki te kakahu i poke i te kikokiko.

²⁴But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,

²⁴Na, ki te mea kaha ki te tiaki i a koutou kei hinga, ki te whakatu hoki i a koutou ki te aroaro o tona kororia, he mea kohakore i runga i te hari whakaharahara,

²⁵to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen.

²⁵Ki a ia, ko ia anake nei te Atua, ki to tatou Kaiwhakaora, i roto i a ihu Karaiti, i to tatou Ariki, waiho atu i a ia te kororia, te nui, te kaha, te mana, i mua atu o nga wa katoa, aianei, a ake ake. Amine.
