Iudæ 1
1 Iudas Iesu Christi servus frater autem Iacobi his qui in Deo Patre dilectis et Iesu Christo conservatis vocatis
JUDE a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified in God the Father, and preserved by Jesus Christ, the called:
2 misericordia vobis et pax et caritas adimpleatur
mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied.
3 carissimi omnem sollicitudinem faciens scribendi vobis de communi vestra salute necesse habui scribere vobis deprecans supercertari semel traditae sanctis fidei
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you concerning the common salvation, I held it necessary to write unto you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith 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 craftily introduced themselves, who were from of old proscribed for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of God into impurity, and denying our only sovereign God and 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, though ye once knew this, that the Lord, though he delivered the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed those who 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 who preserved not their own primitive state, but deserted their proper abode, hath he reserved in everlasting chains under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 sicut Sodoma et Gomorra 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 surrounding cities, in like manner with them abandoned to whoredom, and going after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the judicial punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 similiter et hii carnem quidem maculant dominationem autem spernunt maiestates autem blasphemant
In like manner also do these men, even when they dream, defile indeed the flesh, despise sovereignty, and revile dignities.
9 cum Michahel archangelus cum diabolo disputans altercaretur de Mosi corpore non est ausus iudicium inferre blasphemiae sed dixit imperet tibi Dominus
Though Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not to produce a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 hii autem quaecumque quidem ignorant blasphemant quaecumque autem naturaliter tamquam muta animalia norunt in his corrumpuntur
But these men speak evil even of the things of which they have no knowledge: but such things as they know naturally, as the brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.
11 vae illis quia via Cain abierunt et errore Balaam mercede effusi sunt et contradictione Core perierunt
Wo unto them! for they have walked in the way of Cain, and have eagerly run in Balaam’s erroneous path of hire, and have perished in opposition, like Corah.
12 hii sunt in epulis suis maculae convivantes sine timore semet ipsos pascentes nubes sine aqua quae a ventis circumferuntur arbores autumnales infructuosae bis mortuae eradicatae
These are in your feasts of love, as sunken rocks; though joining in your banquet, they feed themselves fearlessly; clouds without water carried about by the winds; trees untimely withering, fruitless, twice dead, rooted up;
13 fluctus feri maris despumantes suas confusiones sidera errantia quibus procella tenebrarum in aeternum servata est (aiōn g165)
raging billows of the sea foaming out their own infamies; stars wandering from their courses, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved. (aiōn g165)
14 prophetavit autem et his septimus ab Adam Enoc dicens ecce venit Dominus in sanctis milibus suis
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied also of these men, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with myriads of his 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 eum peccatores impii
to execute judgment against all men, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have impiously committed, and of all the bitter words which impious offenders have spoken against him.
16 hii sunt murmuratores querellosi secundum desideria sua ambulantes et os illorum loquitur superba mirantes personas quaestus causa
These men are murmurers, complainers at their lot in life, walking after their own corrupt passions; and their mouth utters hyperbolically pompous expressions, pretending high personal admiration, in order to make their advantage.
17 vos autem carissimi memores estote verborum quae praedicta sunt ab apostolis Domini nostri Iesu Christi
But ye, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 quia dicebant vobis quoniam in novissimo tempore venient inlusores secundum sua desideria ambulantes impietatum
how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers, walking after their own ungodly passions.
19 hii sunt qui segregant animales Spiritum non habentes
These are the men who separate themselves, sensual, destitute of the Spirit.
20 vos autem carissimi superaedificantes vosmet ipsos sanctissimae vestrae fidei in Spiritu Sancto orantes
But ye, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Ghost,
preserve yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 et hos quidem arguite iudicatos
And of some have compassion, distinguishing their case;
23 illos vero salvate de igne rapientes aliis autem miseremini in timore odientes et eam quae carnalis est maculatam tunicam
and others save with trembling, snatching them out of the fire; though hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 ei autem qui potest vos conservare sine peccato et constituere ante conspectum gloriae suae inmaculatos in exultatione
Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with exultation,
