< Jude 1 >
1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
ιουδασ ιησου χριστου δουλοσ αδελφοσ δε ιακωβου τοισ εν θεω πατρι ηγιασμενοισ και ιησου χριστω τετηρημενοισ κλητοισ
2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
ελεοσ υμιν και ειρηνη και αγαπη πληθυνθειη
3 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.
αγαπητοι πασαν σπουδην ποιουμενοσ γραφειν υμιν περι τησ κοινησ σωτηριασ αναγκην εσχον γραψαι υμιν παρακαλων επαγωνιζεσθαι τη απαξ παραδοθειση τοισ αγιοισ πιστει
4 For 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.
παρεισεδυσαν γαρ τινεσ ανθρωποι οι παλαι προγεγραμμενοι εισ τουτο το κριμα ασεβεισ την του θεου ημων χαριν μετατιθεντεσ εισ ασελγειαν και τον μονον δεσποτην θεον και κυριον ημων ιησουν χριστον αρνουμενοι
5 Now 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 did not believe.
υπομνησαι δε υμασ βουλομαι ειδοτασ υμασ απαξ τουτο οτι ο κυριοσ λαον εκ γησ αιγυπτου σωσασ το δευτερον τουσ μη πιστευσαντασ απωλεσεν
6 Angels who did not keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting (aïdios ) bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
αγγελουσ τε τουσ μη τηρησαντασ την εαυτων αρχην αλλα απολιποντασ το ιδιον οικητηριον εισ κρισιν μεγαλησ ημερασ δεσμοισ αιδιοισ υπο ζοφον τετηρηκεν (aïdios )
7 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 shown as an example, suffering the punishment of consummate (aiōnios ) fire.
ωσ σοδομα και γομορρα και αι περι αυτασ πολεισ τον ομοιον τουτοισ τροπον εκπορνευσασαι και απελθουσαι οπισω σαρκοσ ετερασ προκεινται δειγμα πυροσ αιωνιου δικην υπεχουσαι (aiōnios )
8 Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
ομοιωσ μεντοι και ουτοι ενυπνιαζομενοι σαρκα μεν μιαινουσιν κυριοτητα δε αθετουσιν δοξασ δε βλασφημουσιν
9 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!”
ο δε μιχαηλ ο αρχαγγελοσ οτε τω διαβολω διακρινομενοσ διελεγετο περι του μωυσεωσ σωματοσ ουκ ετολμησεν κρισιν επενεγκειν βλασφημιασ αλλ ειπεν επιτιμησαι σοι κυριοσ
10 But these speak evil of whatever things they do not know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.
ουτοι δε οσα μεν ουκ οιδασιν βλασφημουσιν οσα δε φυσικωσ ωσ τα αλογα ζωα επιστανται εν τουτοισ φθειρονται
11 Woe 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.
ουαι αυτοισ οτι τη οδω του καιν επορευθησαν και τη πλανη του βαλααμ μισθου εξεχυθησαν και τη αντιλογια του κορε απωλοντο
12 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 trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
ουτοι εισιν εν ταισ αγαπαισ υμων σπιλαδεσ συνευωχουμενοι αφοβωσ εαυτουσ ποιμαινοντεσ νεφελαι ανυδροι υπο ανεμων παραφερομεναι δενδρα φθινοπωρινα ακαρπα δισ αποθανοντα εκριζωθεντα
13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved for an age (aiōn ).
κυματα αγρια θαλασσησ επαφριζοντα τασ εαυτων αισχυνασ αστερεσ πλανηται οισ ο ζοφοσ του σκοτουσ εισ αιωνα τετηρηται (aiōn )
14 About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
προεφητευσεν δε και τουτοισ εβδομοσ απο αδαμ ενωχ λεγων ιδου ηλθεν κυριοσ εν αγιαισ μυριασιν αυτου
15 to 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.”
ποιησαι κρισιν κατα παντων και ελεγξαι παντασ τουσ ασεβεισ αυτων περι παντων των εργων ασεβειασ αυτων ων ησεβησαν και περι παντων των σκληρων ων ελαλησαν κατ αυτου αμαρτωλοι ασεβεισ
16 These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
ουτοι εισιν γογγυσται μεμψιμοιροι κατα τασ επιθυμιασ αυτων πορευομενοι και το στομα αυτων λαλει υπερογκα θαυμαζοντεσ προσωπα ωφελειασ χαριν
17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
υμεισ δε αγαπητοι μνησθητε των ρηματων των προειρημενων υπο των αποστολων του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
οτι ελεγον υμιν οτι εν εσχατω χρονω εσονται εμπαικται κατα τασ εαυτων επιθυμιασ πορευομενοι των ασεβειων
19 These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
ουτοι εισιν οι αποδιοριζοντεσ ψυχικοι πνευμα μη εχοντεσ
20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
υμεισ δε αγαπητοι τη αγιωτατη υμων πιστει εποικοδομουντεσ εαυτουσ εν πνευματι αγιω προσευχομενοι
21 Keep yourselves in God's love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to consummate (aiōnios ) life.
εαυτουσ εν αγαπη θεου τηρησατε προσδεχομενοι το ελεοσ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου εισ ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios )
22 And some pity who are wavering,
και ουσ μεν ελεειτε διακρινομενοι
23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
ουσ δε εν φοβω σωζετε εκ πυροσ αρπαζοντεσ μισουντεσ και τον απο τησ σαρκοσ εσπιλωμενον χιτωνα
24 Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
τω δε δυναμενω φυλαξαι αυτουσ απταιστουσ και στησαι κατενωπιον τησ δοξησ αυτου αμωμουσ εν αγαλλιασει
25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, before every age (aiōn ), and now, and for all the ages (aiōn ). Amen.
μονω σοφω θεω σωτηρι ημων δοξα και μεγαλωσυνη κρατοσ και εξουσια και νυν και εισ παντασ τουσ αιωνασ αμην (aiōn )
