< Jude 1 >
1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ:
yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāso yākūbo bhrātā yihūdāstāteneśvareṇa pavitrīkṛtān yīśukhrīṣṭena rakṣitāṁścāhūtān lokān prati patraṁ likhati|
2 Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
kṛpā śāntiḥ prema ca bāhulyarūpeṇa yuṣmāsvadhitiṣṭhatu|
3 Beloved, although I made every effort to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt it necessary to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all to the saints.
he priyāḥ, sādhāraṇaparitrāṇamadhi yuṣmān prati lekhituṁ mama bahuyatne jāte pūrvvakāle pavitralokeṣu samarpito yo dharmmastadarthaṁ yūyaṁ prāṇavyayenāpi saceṣṭā bhavateti vinayārthaṁ yuṣmān prati patralekhanamāvaśyakam amanye|
4 For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
yasmād etadrūpadaṇḍaprāptaye pūrvvaṁ likhitāḥ kecijjanā asmān upasṛptavantaḥ, te 'dhārmmikalokā asmākam īśvarasyānugrahaṁ dhvajīkṛtya lampaṭatām ācaranti, advitīyo 'dhipati ryo 'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭastaṁ nāṅgīkurvvanti|
5 Although you are fully aware of this, I want to remind you that after Jesus had delivered His people out of the land of Egypt, He destroyed those who did not believe.
tasmād yūyaṁ purā yad avagatāstat puna ryuṣmān smārayitum icchāmi, phalataḥ prabhurekakṛtvaḥ svaprajā misaradeśād udadhāra yat tataḥ param aviśvāsino vyanāśayat|
6 And the angels who did not stay within their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling—these He has kept in eternal chains under darkness, bound for judgment on that great day. (aïdios )
ye ca svargadūtāḥ svīyakartṛtvapade na sthitvā svavāsasthānaṁ parityaktavantastān sa mahādinasya vicārārtham andhakāramaye 'dhaḥsthāne sadāsthāyibhi rbandhanairabadhnāt| (aïdios )
7 In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
aparaṁ sidomam amorā tannikaṭasthanagarāṇi caiteṣāṁ nivāsinastatsamarūpaṁ vyabhicāraṁ kṛtavanto viṣamamaithunasya ceṣṭayā vipathaṁ gatavantaśca tasmāt tānyapi dṛṣṭāntasvarūpāṇi bhūtvā sadātanavahninā daṇḍaṁ bhuñjate| (aiōnios )
8 Yet in the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings.
tathaiveme svapnācāriṇo'pi svaśarīrāṇi kalaṅkayanti rājādhīnatāṁ na svīkurvvantyuccapadasthān nindanti ca|
9 But even the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not presume to bring a slanderous charge against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
kintu pradhānadivyadūto mīkhāyelo yadā mūsaso dehe śayatānena vivadamānaḥ samabhāṣata tadā tisman nindārūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ samarpayituṁ sāhasaṁ na kṛtvākathayat prabhustvāṁ bhartsayatāṁ|
10 These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.
kintvime yanna budhyante tannindanti yacca nirbbodhapaśava ivendriyairavagacchanti tena naśyanti|
11 Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
tān dhik, te kābilo mārge caranti pāritoṣikasyāśāto biliyamo bhrāntimanudhāvanti korahasya durmmukhatvena vinaśyanti ca|
12 These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.
yuṣmākaṁ premabhojyeṣu te vighnajanakā bhavanti, ātmambharayaśca bhūtvā nirlajjayā yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuñjate| te vāyubhiścālitā nistoyameghā hemantakālikā niṣphalā dvi rmṛtā unmūlitā vṛkṣāḥ,
13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn )
svakīyalajjāpheṇodvamakāḥ pracaṇḍāḥ sāmudrataraṅgāḥ sadākālaṁ yāvat ghoratimirabhāgīni bhramaṇakārīṇi nakṣatrāṇi ca bhavanti| (aiōn )
14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones
ādamataḥ saptamaḥ puruṣo yo hanokaḥ sa tānuddiśya bhaviṣyadvākyamidaṁ kathitavān, yathā, paśya svakīyapuṇyānām ayutai rveṣṭitaḥ prabhuḥ|
15 to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”
sarvvān prati vicārājñāsādhanāyāgamiṣyati| tadā cādhārmmikāḥ sarvve jātā yairaparādhinaḥ| vidharmmakarmmaṇāṁ teṣāṁ sarvveṣāmeva kāraṇāt| tathā tadvaiparītyenāpyadharmmācāripāpināṁ| uktakaṭhoravākyānāṁ sarvveṣāmapi kāraṇāt| parameśena doṣitvaṁ teṣāṁ prakāśayiṣyate||
16 These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
te vākkalahakāriṇaḥ svabhāgyanindakāḥ svecchācāriṇo darpavādimukhaviśiṣṭā lābhārthaṁ manuṣyastāvakāśca santi|
17 But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
kintu he priyatamāḥ, asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya preritai ryad vākyaṁ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kathitaṁ tat smarata,
18 when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
phalataḥ śeṣasamaye svecchāto 'dharmmācāriṇo nindakā upasthāsyantīti|
19 These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
ete lokāḥ svān pṛthak kurvvantaḥ sāṁsārikā ātmahīnāśca santi|
20 But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
kintu he priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ sveṣām atipavitraviśvāse nicīyamānāḥ pavitreṇātmanā prārthanāṁ kurvvanta
21 keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life. (aiōnios )
īśvarasya premnā svān rakṣata, anantajīvanāya cāsmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya kṛpāṁ pratīkṣadhvaṁ| (aiōnios )
22 And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt;
aparaṁ yūyaṁ vivicya kāṁścid anukampadhvaṁ
23 save others by snatching them from the fire; and to still others show mercy tempered with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
kāṁścid agnita uddhṛtya bhayaṁ pradarśya rakṣata, śārīrikabhāvena kalaṅkitaṁ vastramapi ṛtīyadhvaṁ|
24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy—
aparañca yuṣmān skhalanād rakṣitum ullāsena svīyatejasaḥ sākṣāt nirddoṣān sthāpayituñca samartho
25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, and now, and for all eternity. Amen. (aiōn )
yo 'smākam advitīyastrāṇakarttā sarvvajña īśvarastasya gauravaṁ mahimā parākramaḥ kartṛtvañcedānīm anantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmen| (aiōn )
