Iudæ 1
1 Iudas Iesu Christi servus, frater autem Iacobi, his, qui sunt in Deo Patre dilectis, et Christo Iesu conservatis, et vocatis.
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called beloved in God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ.
2 Misericordia vobis, et pax, et charitas adimpleatur.
Mercy to you, and peace, and divine love be multiplied.
3 Charissimi, omnem solicitudinem faciens scribendi vobis de communi vestra salute, necesse habui scribere vobis: deprecans supercertari semel traditae sanctis fidei.
Beloved, making all haste to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had need to write to you, exhorting you to agonize for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 Subintroierunt enim quidam homines (qui olim praescripti sunt in hoc iudicium) impii, Dei nostri gratiam transferentes in luxuriam, et solum Dominatorem, et Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum negantes.
For certain men have crept in, who long ago were written down to this judgment, ungodly, transforming the grace of God into impurity, even denying Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.
5 Commonere autem vos volo, scientes semel omnia, quoniam Iesus populum de terra Aegypti salvans, secundo eos, qui non crediderunt, perdidit:
But I wish you to remember, once having known all these things, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, destroyed them that believed riot, the second time:
6 Angelos vero, qui non servaverunt suum principatum, sed dereliquerunt suum domicilium, in iudicium magni diei, vinculis aeternis sub caligine reservavit. (aïdios g126)
and the angels who kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, has he kept in eternal chains unto darkness unto the judgment of the great day: (aïdios g126)
7 Sicut Sodoma, et Gomorrha, et finitimae civitates simili modo exfornicatae, et abeuntes post carnem alteram, factae sunt exemplum, ignis aeterni poenam sustinentes. (aiōnios g166)
as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, in a manner like unto them committing fornication, and going after other flesh, present an example receiving the vengeance of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Similiter et hi carnem quidem maculant, dominationem autem spernunt, maiestatem autem blasphemant.
Likewise indeed these dreamers also pollute the flesh, and reject lordship, and blaspheme glories.
9 Cum Michael Archangelus cum diabolo disputans altercaretur de Moysi corpore, non est ausus iudicium inferre blasphemiae: sed dixit: Imperet tibi Dominus.
But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed over the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against him a judgment of blasphemy, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 Hi autem quaecumque quidem ignorant, blasphemant: quaecumque autem naturaliter, tamquam muta animalia, norunt, in his corrumpuntur.
But these blaspheme so many things as they know not: and so many things as they understand naturally, like irrational animals, in these they are corrupted.
11 Vae illis, qui in via Cain abierunt, et errore Balaam mercede effusi sunt, et in contradictione Core perierunt:
Woe unto them! because they have gone off in the way of Cain, and in the delusion of Balaam they have been seduced by reward, and they perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
12 Hi sunt in epulis suis maculae, convivantes sine timore, semetipsos pascentes, nubes sine aqua, quae a ventis circumferentur, arbores autumnales, infructuosae, bis mortuae, eradicatae,
These are rocks in your love-feasts, feasting along with you without fear shepherdizing themselves, clouds without water, driven away by the winds; withered trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 fluctus feri maris, despumantes suas confusiones, sidera errantia: quibus procella tenebrarum servata est in aeternum. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own disgraces; wandering stars, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 Prophetavit autem et de his septimus ab Adam Enoch, dicens: Ecce venit Dominus in sanctis millibus suis
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied against these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his myriads of saints,
15 facere iudicium contra omnes, et arguere omnes impios de omnibus operibus impietatis eorum, quibus impie egerunt, et de omnibus duris, quae locuti sunt contra Deum peccatores impii.
to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly of them for all the works of their ungodliness which they have impiously done, and for all their hard speeches which they have spoken against him, being ungodly sinners.
16 Hi sunt murmuratores querulosi, secundum desideria sua ambulantes, et os eorum loquitur superbiam, mirantes personas quaestus causa.
These are querulous grumblers, going forth according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaking swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of gain.
17 Vos autem charissimi memores estote verborum, quae praedicta sunt ab Apostolis Domini nostri Iesu Christi,
But you, beloved, remember the words which have hitherto been spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 qui dicebant vobis, quoniam in novissimis temporibus venient illusores, secundum desideria sua ambulantes in impietatibus.
that they said to you, At the last time there will be mockers, walking according to their own lusts after ungodly things.
19 Hi sunt, qui segregant semetipsos, animales, Spiritum non habentes.
These are they who are sidetracking [the people], intellectual, not having the Spirit.
20 Vos autem charissimi superaedificantes vosmetipsos sanctissimae nostrae fidei in Spiritu sancto, orantes,
But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 vosmetipsos in dilectione Dei servate, expectantes misericordiam Domini nostri Iesu Christi in vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the divine love of God, receiving the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Et hos quidem arguite iudicatos:
And some of whom indeed convict, being judged:
23 illos vero salvate, de igne rapientes. Aliis autem miseremini in timore: odientes et eam, quae carnalis est, maculatam tunicam.
and some save, seizing them out of the fire; and some pity in their fear, you indeed hating the garment having been spotted by carnality.
24 Ei autem, qui potens est vos conservare sine peccato, et constituere ante conspectum gloriae suae immaculatos in exultatione in adventu Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
But to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to establish you blameless in the presence of his glory with rejoicing.
25 Soli Deo Salvatori nostro, per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum, gloria et magnificentia, imperium et potestas ante omne saeculum, et nunc, et in omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen. (aiōn g165)
to God our only Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before every age, both now, and unto all the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
