< Jude 1 >

1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them who are sanctified by God the Father, and to the preserved by Jesus Christ, to the called:
Yehudah, a servant of Yeshua Meshikha, and brother of Yaquv, to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Yeshua Meshikha:
2 May mercy, and peace, and love, be multiplied to you.
Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.
3 Beloved, making all haste to write to you, concerning the common salvation, I thought it necessary to write to you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith formerly delivered to the saints.
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 For certain men have come in privily, who long ago were before written to this very condemnation; ungodly men, perverting the favor of our God to lasciviousness, and denying the only sovereign Lord, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
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, Yeshua Meshikha.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you formerly knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them who did not believe.
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 Also, the angels who kept not their first estate, but left their proper habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, to the judgment of the great day. (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 Likewise Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which, after their example, had habitually committed uncleanness, and gone after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the punishment of an eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Even as Sedum and Amura, 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 Truly, in like manner, also, shall these dreamers be punished--who, indeed, defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme dignities.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
9 Whereas, Michael, the Arch Angel, when contending with the devil, (he disputed about the body of Moses, ) did not attempt to bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke":
But Mikael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Mushe, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you."
10 but these, indeed, revile those things which they do not know; but what things they do know, naturally, as animals void of reason, by these things they destroy themselves.
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 Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and have run evidently in the error of Balaam's hire, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
Woe to them. For they went in the way of Qayen, and ran riotously in the error of Belam for profit, and perished in Qurakh's rebellion.
12 These men are spots in love feasts, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear. They are clouds without water, carried about of winds: withered autumnal trees without fruit; twice dead; rooted out;
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 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved. (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 Now, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, indeed, concerning these men; saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with his myriads of holy angels,
About these also Khenuk, the seventh from Adom, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
15 to pass sentence on all, and to convict all the ungodly among them, of all their deeds of ungodliness; which they have impiously committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
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 These are murmurers, and complainers, who walk according to their own lusts; and their mouths speak great swelling words. They admire persons for the sake of gain.
These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember the words which were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha.
18 that they said to you, that in the last time there would be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Rukha.
20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying with a holy spirit;
But you, beloved, keep building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Rukha d'Qudsha.
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
22 And making a difference, have compassion, indeed, on some:
And be merciful on those who doubt,
23 but others, save by fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
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 Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory, with exceeding joy;
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 to God, alone our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now, and throughout all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua Meshikha our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
