Iudæ 1
1 Iudas Iesu Christi servus frater autem Iacobi his qui in Deo Patre dilectis et Iesu Christo conservatis vocatis
Judah, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, and brother of Jacob, to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Yeshua the Messiah:
2 misericordia vobis et pax et caritas adimpleatur
Mercy to 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, 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 kadoshim.
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 are certain people who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly people, turning the grace of our God into sensuality, and denying our only Master and Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.
5 commonere autem vos volo scientes semel omnia quoniam Iesus populum de terra Aegypti salvans secundo eos qui non crediderunt perdidit
Now I want to remind you, though you already know all these things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 angelos vero qui non servaverunt suum principatum sed dereliquerunt suum domicilium in iudicium magni diei vinculis aeternis sub caligine reservavit (aïdios g126)
Angels who did not 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 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)
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 set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 similiter et hii carnem quidem maculant dominationem autem spernunt maiestates autem blasphemant
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
9 cum Michahel archangelus cum diabolo disputans altercaretur de Mosi corpore non est ausus iudicium inferre blasphemiae sed dixit imperet tibi Dominus
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."
10 hii autem quaecumque quidem ignorant blasphemant quaecumque autem naturaliter tamquam muta animalia norunt in his corrumpuntur
But these speak evil of whatever things they do not know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.
11 vae illis quia via Cain abierunt et errore Balaam mercede effusi sunt et contradictione Core perierunt
Woe to them. For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in Korah's rebellion.
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 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 leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 fluctus feri maris despumantes suas confusiones sidera errantia quibus procella tenebrarum in aeternum servata est (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 prophetavit autem et his septimus ab Adam Enoc dicens ecce venit Dominus in sanctis milibus suis
About these also Hanokh, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
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 on all, and to convict every person 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."
16 hii sunt murmuratores querellosi secundum desideria sua ambulantes et os illorum loquitur superba mirantes personas quaestus causa
These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 vos autem carissimi memores estote verborum quae praedicta sunt ab apostolis Domini nostri Iesu Christi
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
18 quia dicebant vobis quoniam in novissimo tempore venient inlusores secundum sua desideria ambulantes impietatum
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
19 hii sunt qui segregant animales Spiritum non habentes
These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Ruach.
20 vos autem carissimi superaedificantes vosmet ipsos sanctissimae vestrae fidei in Spiritu Sancto orantes
But you, beloved, keep building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
22 et hos quidem arguite iudicatos
And be merciful on those who doubt,
23 illos vero salvate de igne rapientes aliis autem miseremini in timore odientes et eam quae carnalis est maculatam tunicam
and some save, snatching them out of the fire, and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the clothing stained 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 keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
25 soli Deo salvatori nostro per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum gloria magnificentia imperium et potestas ante omne saeculum et nunc et in omnia saecula amen (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
