2May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

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.

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.
6Pea ko e kau ʻāngelo naʻe ʻikai ke tuʻumaʻu ʻi honau muʻaki ʻalunga, ka naʻa nau tukuange honau nofoʻanga, kuo ne tuku ke moʻua ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi haʻi taʻengata ʻoe fakapoʻuli ʻo aʻu ki he fakamaau ʻoe ʻaho lahi.

7ʻO hangē foki ko Sotoma mo Komola, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻa nau vāofi mo fai tatau, ʻonau tuku ʻakinautolu ki he feʻauaki, mo e muimui ki he feholikoviʻaki, kuo fokotuʻu ko e fakaʻilonga, ʻonau moʻua ʻi he totongi ʻoe afi taʻengata.
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 shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
8ʻOku pehē foki ʻakinautolu ni, ʻae kau misi kovi , ʻoku nau ʻuliʻi ʻae sino, ʻo manukiʻi ʻae pule, mo lauʻikovi ʻae kau pule.

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!”
10Ka ʻoku lea kovi ʻakinautolu ni ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi: ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau ʻilo fakakakano pe fakataha mo e fanga manu taʻeloto, ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku nau ʻuliʻi ai ʻakinautolu.
10But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.

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.

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 trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13Ko e ngaahi peau lili ʻoe tahi, ʻoku nau koā atu ʻenau fakamā; ko e ngaahi fetuʻu he fano pe, pea kuo tuku moʻonautolu ʻae ʻuliʻuli ʻoe fakapoʻuli taʻengata.

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

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.”
16Ko e kau lāunga mo hanu ʻakinautolu ni, ʻoku nau angimui ki he ngaahi holi kovi ʻanautolu; pea ʻoku lea fakapuhopuha ʻa honau ngutu, ʻonau filifilimānako ki he kakai koeʻuhi ko e koloa.

17But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18He naʻa nau fakahā kiate kimoutolu, “ʻE ai ʻae kau manuki ʻi he kuonga ki mui, pea te nau angimui ki he ngaahi holi fakataʻelotu ʻanautolu.”
18They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”

20Ka ko kimoutolu, ko e ʻofeina, ke langa ʻaki hake ʻakimoutolu ki hoʻomou tui fungani māʻoniʻoni, pea lotu ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni,
20But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
21ʻO tauhiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, mo ʻamanaki ki he ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pē ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ki he moʻui taʻengata.
21Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
22Pea ke manavaʻofa ki he niʻihi, ʻo fai kehekehe.
22On some have compassion, making a distinction,
23Pea ko e niʻihi, ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ʻae fakamanavahē, ʻo hamusi mei he afi; ka mou fehiʻa pe ki he kofu kuo ʻuliʻi ʻe he kakano.

25Ke ʻi he ʻOtua poto taha pe ko hotau Fakamoʻui, ʻae nāunau, mo e ongoongolelei mo e pule, mo e mālohi, ʻi heni mo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
