< Judah 1 >
1 Judah, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, and brother of Jacob, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Yeshua the Messiah:
yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāso yākūbo bhrātā yihūdāstāteneśvareṇa pavitrīkṛtān yīśukhrīṣṭena rakṣitāṁścāhūtān lokān prati patraṁ likhati|
2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
kṛpā śāntiḥ prema ca bāhulyarūpeṇa yuṣmāsvadhitiṣṭhatu|
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 holy ones.
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 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, Yeshua the Messiah.
yasmād etadrūpadaṇḍaprāptaye pūrvvaṁ likhitāḥ kecijjanā asmān upasṛptavantaḥ, te 'dhārmmikalokā asmākam īśvarasyānugrahaṁ dhvajīkṛtya lampaṭatām ācaranti, advitīyo 'dhipati ryo 'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭastaṁ nāṅgīkurvvanti|
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 didn’t believe.
tasmād yūyaṁ purā yad avagatāstat puna ryuṣmān smārayitum icchāmi, phalataḥ prabhurekakṛtvaḥ svaprajā misaradeśād udadhāra yat tataḥ param aviśvāsino vyanāśayat|
6 Angels who didn’t 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 )
ye ca svargadūtāḥ svīyakartṛtvapade na sthitvā svavāsasthānaṁ parityaktavantastān sa mahādinasya vicārārtham andhakāramaye 'dhaḥsthāne sadāsthāyibhi rbandhanairabadhnāt| (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 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 also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
tathaiveme svapnācāriṇo'pi svaśarīrāṇi kalaṅkayanti rājādhīnatāṁ na svīkurvvantyuccapadasthān nindanti ca|
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!”
kintu pradhānadivyadūto mīkhāyelo yadā mūsaso dehe śayatānena vivadamānaḥ samabhāṣata tadā tisman nindārūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ samarpayituṁ sāhasaṁ na kṛtvākathayat prabhustvāṁ bhartsayatāṁ|
10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.
kintvime yanna budhyante tannindanti yacca nirbbodhapaśava ivendriyairavagacchanti tena naśyanti|
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.
tān dhik, te kābilo mārge caranti pāritoṣikasyāśāto biliyamo bhrāntimanudhāvanti korahasya durmmukhatvena vinaśyanti ca|
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;
yuṣmākaṁ premabhojyeṣu te vighnajanakā bhavanti, ātmambharayaśca bhūtvā nirlajjayā yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuñjate| te vāyubhiścālitā nistoyameghā hemantakālikā niṣphalā dvi rmṛtā unmūlitā vṛkṣāḥ,
13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn )
svakīyalajjāpheṇodvamakāḥ pracaṇḍāḥ sāmudrataraṅgāḥ sadākālaṁ yāvat ghoratimirabhāgīni bhramaṇakārīṇi nakṣatrāṇi ca bhavanti| (aiōn )
14 About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
ādamataḥ saptamaḥ puruṣo yo hanokaḥ sa tānuddiśya bhaviṣyadvākyamidaṁ kathitavān, yathā, paśya svakīyapuṇyānām ayutai rveṣṭitaḥ prabhuḥ|
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.”
sarvvān prati vicārājñāsādhanāyāgamiṣyati| tadā cādhārmmikāḥ sarvve jātā yairaparādhinaḥ| vidharmmakarmmaṇāṁ teṣāṁ sarvveṣāmeva kāraṇāt| tathā tadvaiparītyenāpyadharmmācāripāpināṁ| uktakaṭhoravākyānāṁ sarvveṣāmapi kāraṇāt| parameśena doṣitvaṁ teṣāṁ prakāśayiṣyate||
16 These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
te vākkalahakāriṇaḥ svabhāgyanindakāḥ svecchācāriṇo darpavādimukhaviśiṣṭā lābhārthaṁ manuṣyastāvakāśca santi|
17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
kintu he priyatamāḥ, asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya preritai ryad vākyaṁ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kathitaṁ tat smarata,
18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
phalataḥ śeṣasamaye svecchāto 'dharmmācāriṇo nindakā upasthāsyantīti|
19 These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
ete lokāḥ svān pṛthak kurvvantaḥ sāṁsārikā ātmahīnāśca santi|
20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
kintu he priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ sveṣām atipavitraviśvāse nicīyamānāḥ pavitreṇātmanā prārthanāṁ kurvvanta
21 Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to eternal life. (aiōnios )
īśvarasya premnā svān rakṣata, anantajīvanāya cāsmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya kṛpāṁ pratīkṣadhvaṁ| (aiōnios )
22 On some have compassion, making a distinction,
aparaṁ yūyaṁ vivicya kāṁścid anukampadhvaṁ
23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire 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 them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
aparañca yuṣmān skhalanād rakṣitum ullāsena svīyatejasaḥ sākṣāt nirddoṣān sthāpayituñca samartho
25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn )
yo 'smākam advitīyastrāṇakarttā sarvvajña īśvarastasya gauravaṁ mahimā parākramaḥ kartṛtvañcedānīm anantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmen| (aiōn )
