Ιουδα 1
1 ιουδασ ιησου χριστου δουλοσ αδελφοσ δε ιακωβου τοισ εν θεω πατρι ηγιασμενοισ και ιησου χριστω τετηρημενοισ κλητοισ
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, loved in God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ:
2 ελεοσ υμιν και ειρηνη και αγαπη πληθυνθειη
Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
3 αγαπητοι πασαν σπουδην ποιουμενοσ γραφειν υμιν περι τησ κοινησ σωτηριασ αναγκην εσχον γραψαι υμιν παρακαλων επαγωνιζεσθαι τη απαξ παραδοθειση τοισ αγιοισ πιστει
Beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you, I found it necessary to write to you concerning the common salvation, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
4 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
For there have stealthily crept in certain men who were of old appointed beforehand for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into wantonness, and denying the only Sovereign, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 υπομνησαι δε υμασ βουλομαι ειδοτασ υμασ απαξ τουτο οτι ο κυριοσ λαον εκ γησ αιγυπτου σωσασ το δευτερον τουσ μη πιστευσαντασ απωλεσεν
But I wish to remind you as once knowing it all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not;
6 αγγελουσ τε τουσ μη τηρησαντασ την εαυτων αρχην αλλα απολιποντασ το ιδιον οικητηριον εισ κρισιν μεγαλησ ημερασ δεσμοισ αιδιοισ υπο ζοφον τετηρηκεν (aïdios g126)
and the angels which kept not their principality, but left their own dwelling-place, he hath kept in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day; (aïdios g126)
7 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 g166)
even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving themselves over to fornication, and going away after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 ομοιωσ μεντοι και ουτοι ενυπνιαζομενοι σαρκα μεν μιαινουσιν κυριοτητα δε αθετουσιν δοξασ δε βλασφημουσιν
Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
9 ο δε μιχαηλ ο αρχαγγελοσ οτε τω διαβολω διακρινομενοσ διελεγετο περι του μωυσεωσ σωματοσ ουκ ετολμησεν κρισιν επενεγκειν βλασφημιασ αλλ ειπεν επιτιμησαι σοι κυριοσ
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the Devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke thee.
10 ουτοι δε οσα μεν ουκ οιδασιν βλασφημουσιν οσα δε φυσικωσ ωσ τα αλογα ζωα επιστανται εν τουτοισ φθειρονται
But these rail at the things which they know not; but what things they understand naturally, as brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.
11 ουαι αυτοισ οτι τη οδω του καιν επορευθησαν και τη πλανη του βαλααμ μισθου εξεχυθησαν και τη αντιλογια του κορε απωλοντο
Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and rushed on in the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
12 ουτοι εισιν εν ταισ αγαπαισ υμων σπιλαδεσ συνευωχουμενοι αφοβωσ εαυτουσ ποιμαινοντεσ νεφελαι ανυδροι υπο ανεμων παραφερομεναι δενδρα φθινοπωρινα ακαρπα δισ αποθανοντα εκριζωθεντα
These are the rocks in your feasts of love, feasting together without fear, feeding only themselves; clouds without water, carried away by winds; trees in late autumn, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 κυματα αγρια θαλασσησ επαφριζοντα τασ εαυτων αισχυνασ αστερεσ πλανηται οισ ο ζοφοσ του σκοτουσ εισ αιωνα τετηρηται (aiōn g165)
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 προεφητευσεν δε και τουτοισ εβδομοσ απο αδαμ ενωχ λεγων ιδου ηλθεν κυριοσ εν αγιαισ μυριασιν αυτου
Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,
15 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
to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly among them of all the deeds of their ungodliness which they committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners spoke against him.”
16 ουτοι εισιν γογγυσται μεμψιμοιροι κατα τασ επιθυμιασ αυτων πορευομενοι και το στομα αυτων λαλει υπερογκα θαυμαζοντεσ προσωπα ωφελειασ χαριν
These are murmurers, complaining of their lot, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words; admiring men's persons, for the sake of profit.
17 υμεισ δε αγαπητοι μνησθητε των ρηματων των προειρημενων υπο των αποστολων του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 οτι ελεγον υμιν οτι εν εσχατω χρονω εσονται εμπαικται κατα τασ εαυτων επιθυμιασ πορευομενοι των ασεβειων
that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
19 ουτοι εισιν οι αποδιοριζοντεσ ψυχικοι πνευμα μη εχοντεσ
These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 υμεισ δε αγαπητοι τη αγιωτατη υμων πιστει εποικοδομουντεσ εαυτουσ εν πνευματι αγιω προσευχομενοι
But do ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 εαυτουσ εν αγαπη θεου τηρησατε προσδεχομενοι το ελεοσ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου εισ ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 και ουσ μεν ελεειτε διακρινομενοι
And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
23 ουσ δε εν φοβω σωζετε εκ πυροσ αρπαζοντεσ μισουντεσ και τον απο τησ σαρκοσ εσπιλωμενον χιτωνα
with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 τω δε δυναμενω φυλαξαι αυτουσ απταιστουσ και στησαι κατενωπιον τησ δοξησ αυτου αμωμουσ εν αγαλλιασει
But to him that is able to keep them from falling, and to present them faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
