Iudæ 1
1 Iudas Iesu Christi servus, frater autem Iacobi, his, qui sunt in Deo Patre dilectis, et Christo Iesu conservatis, et vocatis.
Jude a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified in God the Father, and who are preserved and called in Jesus Christ;
2 Misericordia vobis, et pax, et charitas adimpleatur.
mercy, and peace, and love be multiplied unto you.
3 Charissimi, omnem solicitudinem faciens scribendi vobis de communi vestra salute, necesse habui scribere vobis: deprecans supercertari semel traditae sanctis fidei.
Beloved, having an earnest desire to write to you concerning the common salvation, I was under a necessity of writing to exhort you that ye would strive earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to 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 there have crept in some men, who have been of old described as under this condemnation, impious people, that turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Commonere autem vos volo, scientes semel omnia, quoniam Iesus populum de terra Aegypti salvans, secundo eos, qui non crediderunt, perdidit:
But I would remind you of this, which ye know already, that though the Lord saved the people out of the land of Egypt, yet He afterwards destroyed those that believed not:
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 that kept not their primitive state, but left their proper abode, hath He reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, to the judgement 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 Gomorrha, and the cities about them, in like manner with them committing lewdness, and going after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of perpetual fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Similiter et hi carnem quidem maculant, dominationem autem spernunt, maiestatem autem blasphemant.
So these vile dreamers also defile the flesh, despise authority, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Cum Michael Archangelus cum diabolo disputans altercaretur de Moysi corpore, non est ausus iudicium inferre blasphemiae: sed dixit: Imperet tibi Dominus.
Whereas Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, did not presume to bring against him a railing accusation, 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 men speak evil of what they know not: and what they know naturally, as brute animals, in these things they are corrupt.
11 Vae illis, qui in via Cain abierunt, et errore Balaam mercede effusi sunt, et in contradictione Core perierunt:
Wo unto them; for they have gone in the way of Cain, and been carried away by Balaam's error, the love of lucre, and perished as in the contradiction 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 spots in your love-feasts, feeding themselves without fear, when they are feasting with you: clouds without water, carried about by the winds; trees withered and without fruit, twice dead and rooted up; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
13 fluctus feri maris, despumantes suas confusiones, sidera errantia: quibus procella tenebrarum servata est in aeternum. (aiōn g165)
wandering stars, for whom blackness of darkness is reserved for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Prophetavit autem et de his septimus ab Adam Enoch, dicens: Ecce venit Dominus in sanctis millibus suis
And Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied against these, saying, Behold the Lord cometh with his holy myriads,
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 pass judgement upon all, and to convict all the ungodly among them of all their wicked works, which they have impiously committed, and of all the hard things which impious sinners have spoken against Him.
16 Hi sunt murmuratores querulosi, secundum desideria sua ambulantes, et os eorum loquitur superbiam, mirantes personas quaestus causa.
These are murmurers, complainers, who walk according to their own irregular desires; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, with admiration of certain persons for some advantage of their own.
17 Vos autem charissimi memores estote verborum, quae praedicta sunt ab Apostolis Domini nostri Iesu Christi,
But, beloved, remember the words which were formerly spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; for they told you,
18 qui dicebant vobis, quoniam in novissimis temporibus venient illusores, secundum desideria sua ambulantes in impietatibus.
that in the latter days there will be scoffers, walking according to their own impious lusts.
19 Hi sunt, qui segregant semetipsos, animales, Spiritum non habentes.
These are they who separate themselves, sensualists, not having the Spirit.
20 Vos autem charissimi superaedificantes vosmetipsos sanctissimae nostrae fidei in Spiritu sancto, orantes,
But ye, beloved, edifying yourselves in your most holy faith, and praying in the holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God,
21 vosmetipsos in dilectione Dei servate, expectantes misericordiam Domini nostri Iesu Christi in vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Et hos quidem arguite iudicatos:
And on some have compassion, making a difference; others save with fear,
23 illos vero salvate, de igne rapientes. Aliis autem miseremini in timore: odientes et eam, quae carnalis est, maculatam tunicam.
as snatching them out of the fire: hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
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.
Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy:
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 the only wise God our Saviour be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
