Jude 1
1 Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for Jesus Christ, and 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, although I was making all haste to write to you in regard to our common salvation, I am compelled to write you an appeal to defend the faith once for all committed 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 crept in stealthily - men predestined in ancient prophecies for this condemnation - impious ones! They pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness, and deny Jesus Christ, our sole Master and Lord.
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 wish to remind you of what you already know right well, that although the Lord once saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he afterward destroyed those 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 while the angels who did not keep their first domain but left their proper abode, are held by him in blank darkness, in everlasting chains, in preparation for 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 So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the near-by cities which in like manner glutted themselves in sensuality and unnatural vice, are exhibited as a warning of the eternal fire, in the punishment they undergo. (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 Yet in just the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, while they set at naught dominion and scoff at dignities.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
9 But Michael, the Archangel, when in contending with the devil, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce sentence for blasphemy, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."
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 Yet these men blaspheme about matters of which they know nothing, while they use such things as they do understand by instinct (like the animals who have no reason) for their own destruction.
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! They have walked in the path of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into Balaam’s error, and have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
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 are they who are stains upon your love-feasts; when they feast sumptuously without scruple, looking after none but themselves. They are clouds without water, driven along by the winds; trees of autumn, fruitless, doubly dead, torn up by the roots,
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 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. (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 It was to these, too, that Enoch, the "seventh in descent from Adam," prophesied, saying, "Lo! the Lord is come with myriads of his saints,
About these also Khenuk, the seventh from Adom, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed; and of all the hard things which they have spoken against Him, ungodly sinners that they are!"
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 For these are murmurers, always complaining. They always go where their passions lead, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, while they pay court to men for the sake of the advantage they can get.
These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 But as for you, dearly beloved, remember the words spoken before 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 how they used to say to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will be led only by their godless passions."
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
19 These are the men, sensual and unspiritual, who cause divisions.
These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Rukha.
20 But you, beloved, continually building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and ever praying in the Holy Spirit,
But you, beloved, keep building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Rukha d'Qudsha.
21 must keep yourselves in the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ends in life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Pity some who are wavering, and save by dragging them out of the fire;
And be merciful on those who doubt,
23 others pity, but with caution, 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 unto Him who has power to guard you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, faultless and exultant,
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 the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before time began, is now, and ever shall be to all the 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)
