Iudæ 1
1 Iudas Iesu Christi servus, frater autem Iacobi, his, qui sunt in Deo Patre dilectis, et Christo Iesu conservatis, et vocatis.
Jude, a servant of Jesus (the) Messiah, and brother of James, to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Jesus (the) Messiah:
2 Misericordia vobis, et pax, et charitas adimpleatur.
Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.
3 Charissimi, omnem solicitudinem faciens scribendi vobis de communi vestra salute, necesse habui scribere vobis: deprecans supercertari semel traditae sanctis fidei.
Beloved, 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.
4 Subintroierunt enim quidam homines (qui olim praescripti sunt in hoc iudicium) impii, Dei nostri gratiam transferentes in luxuriam, et solum Dominatorem, et Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum negantes.
For there are certain people who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly people, turning the grace of our God into sensuality, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus (the) Messiah.
5 Commonere autem vos volo, scientes semel omnia, quoniam Iesus populum de terra Aegypti salvans, secundo eos, qui non crediderunt, perdidit:
Now I want to remind you, though you already know all these things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 Angelos vero, qui non servaverunt suum principatum, sed dereliquerunt suum domicilium, in iudicium magni diei, vinculis aeternis sub caligine reservavit. (aïdios g126)
Angels who did not 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. (aïdios g126)
7 Sicut Sodoma, et Gomorrha, et finitimae civitates simili modo exfornicatae, et abeuntes post carnem alteram, factae sunt exemplum, ignis aeterni poenam sustinentes. (aiōnios g166)
Even 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 everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Similiter et hi carnem quidem maculant, dominationem autem spernunt, maiestatem autem blasphemant.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
9 Cum Michael Archangelus cum diabolo disputans altercaretur de Moysi corpore, non est ausus iudicium inferre blasphemiae: sed dixit: Imperet tibi Dominus.
But 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."
10 Hi autem quaecumque quidem ignorant, blasphemant: quaecumque autem naturaliter, tamquam muta animalia, norunt, in his corrumpuntur.
But these speak evil of whatever things they do not know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.
11 Vae illis, qui in via Cain abierunt, et errore Balaam mercede effusi sunt, et in contradictione Core perierunt:
Woe to them. For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in Korah's rebellion.
12 Hi sunt in epulis suis maculae, convivantes sine timore, semetipsos pascentes, nubes sine aqua, quae a ventis circumferentur, arbores autumnales, infructuosae, bis mortuae, eradicatae,
These 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;
13 fluctus feri maris, despumantes suas confusiones, sidera errantia: quibus procella tenebrarum servata est in aeternum. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 Prophetavit autem et de his septimus ab Adam Enoch, dicens: Ecce venit Dominus in sanctis millibus suis
About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
15 facere iudicium contra omnes, et arguere omnes impios de omnibus operibus impietatis eorum, quibus impie egerunt, et de omnibus duris, quae locuti sunt contra Deum peccatores impii.
to execute judgment on all, and to convict every person 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."
16 Hi sunt murmuratores querulosi, secundum desideria sua ambulantes, et os eorum loquitur superbiam, mirantes personas quaestus causa.
These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 Vos autem charissimi memores estote verborum, quae praedicta sunt ab Apostolis Domini nostri Iesu Christi,
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
18 qui dicebant vobis, quoniam in novissimis temporibus venient illusores, secundum desideria sua ambulantes in impietatibus.
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
19 Hi sunt, qui segregant semetipsos, animales, Spiritum non habentes.
These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 Vos autem charissimi superaedificantes vosmetipsos sanctissimae nostrae fidei in Spiritu sancto, orantes,
But you, beloved, keep building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
21 vosmetipsos in dilectione Dei servate, expectantes misericordiam Domini nostri Iesu Christi in vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Et hos quidem arguite iudicatos:
And be merciful on those who doubt,
23 illos vero salvate, de igne rapientes. Aliis autem miseremini in timore: odientes et eam, quae carnalis est, maculatam tunicam.
and some save, snatching them out of the fire, and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
24 Ei autem, qui potens est vos conservare sine peccato, et constituere ante conspectum gloriae suae immaculatos in exultatione in adventu Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
25 Soli Deo Salvatori nostro, per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum, gloria et magnificentia, imperium et potestas ante omne saeculum, et nunc, et in omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior, through Jesus (the) Messiah our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
