¹ Jude, or, Judah a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by 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 to you and peace and love be multiplied.

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

³Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to 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 who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, 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 remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe.

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.

⁶Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for 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 around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality 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 the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.

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 and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”

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 speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.

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 to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.

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 hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who 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 has been reserved forever.

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

¹⁴About 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 on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, 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 and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain 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 you, beloved, remember 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;

¹⁸They said to you that “In the last time there will 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 cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.

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

²⁰But you, beloved, keep 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 to eternal life.

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

²²On some have compassion, making a distinction,

²²Khenkhatte, ginglaha omte tuh hehpih unla;

²³and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained 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 to him who is able to keep them TR and NU read “you” from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great 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 God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. 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.
