Jude, bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called ones beloved in God [the] Father and preserved in Jesus Christ:
2 kṛpā śāntiḥ prema ca bāhulyarūpeṇa yuṣmāsvadhitiṣṭhatu|
Mercy to you, and peace, and love be multiplied.
3 he priyāḥ, sādhāraṇaparitrāṇamadhi yuṣmān prati lekhituṁ mama bahuyatne jāte pūrvvakāle pavitralokeṣu samarpito yo dharmmastadarthaṁ yūyaṁ prāṇavyayenāpi saceṣṭā bhavateti vinayārthaṁ yuṣmān prati patralekhanamāvaśyakam amanye|
Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
4 yasmād etadrūpadaṇḍaprāptaye pūrvvaṁ likhitāḥ kecijjanā asmān upasṛptavantaḥ, te 'dhārmmikalokā asmākam īśvarasyānugrahaṁ dhvajīkṛtya lampaṭatām ācaranti, advitīyo 'dhipati ryo 'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭastaṁ nāṅgīkurvvanti|
For certain men have got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly [persons], turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
5 tasmād yūyaṁ purā yad avagatāstat puna ryuṣmān smārayitum icchāmi, phalataḥ prabhurekakṛtvaḥ svaprajā misaradeśād udadhāra yat tataḥ param aviśvāsino vyanāśayat|
But I would put you in remembrance, you who once knew all things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of [the] land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed those who had not believed.
6 ye ca svargadūtāḥ svīyakartṛtvapade na sthitvā svavāsasthānaṁ parityaktavantastān sa mahādinasya vicārārtham andhakāramaye 'dhaḥsthāne sadāsthāyibhi rbandhanairabadhnāt| (aïdios g126)
And angels who had not kept their own original state, but had abandoned their own dwelling, he keeps in eternal chains under gloomy darkness, to [the] judgment of [the] great day; (aïdios g126)
7 aparaṁ sidomam amorā tannikaṭasthanagarāṇi caiteṣāṁ nivāsinastatsamarūpaṁ vyabhicāraṁ kṛtavanto viṣamamaithunasya ceṣṭayā vipathaṁ gatavantaśca tasmāt tānyapi dṛṣṭāntasvarūpāṇi bhūtvā sadātanavahninā daṇḍaṁ bhuñjate| (aiōnios g166)
as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them, committing greedily fornication, in like manner with them, and going after other flesh, lie there as an example, undergoing the judgment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 tathaiveme svapnācāriṇo'pi svaśarīrāṇi kalaṅkayanti rājādhīnatāṁ na svīkurvvantyuccapadasthān nindanti ca|
Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile [the] flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities.
9 kintu pradhānadivyadūto mīkhāyelo yadā mūsaso dehe śayatānena vivadamānaḥ samabhāṣata tadā tisman nindārūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ samarpayituṁ sāhasaṁ na kṛtvākathayat prabhustvāṁ bhartsayatāṁ|
But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil he reasoned about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a railing judgment against [him], but said, [The] Lord rebuke thee.
10 kintvime yanna budhyante tannindanti yacca nirbbodhapaśava ivendriyairavagacchanti tena naśyanti|
But these, whatever things they know not, they speak railingly against; but what even, as the irrational animals, they understand by mere nature, in these things they corrupt themselves.
11 tān dhik, te kābilo mārge caranti pāritoṣikasyāśāto biliyamo bhrāntimanudhāvanti korahasya durmmukhatvena vinaśyanti ca|
Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain, and given themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 yuṣmākaṁ premabhojyeṣu te vighnajanakā bhavanti, ātmambharayaśca bhūtvā nirlajjayā yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuñjate| te vāyubhiścālitā nistoyameghā hemantakālikā niṣphalā dvi rmṛtā unmūlitā vṛkṣāḥ,
These are spots in your love-feasts, feasting together [with you] without fear, pasturing themselves; clouds without water, carried along by [the] winds; autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;
13 svakīyalajjāpheṇodvamakāḥ pracaṇḍāḥ sāmudrataraṅgāḥ sadākālaṁ yāvat ghoratimirabhāgīni bhramaṇakārīṇi nakṣatrāṇi ca bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity. (aiōn g165)
14 ādamataḥ saptamaḥ puruṣo yo hanokaḥ sa tānuddiśya bhaviṣyadvākyamidaṁ kathitavān, yathā, paśya svakīyapuṇyānām ayutai rveṣṭitaḥ prabhuḥ|
And Enoch, [the] seventh from Adam, prophesied also as to these, saying, Behold, [the] Lord has come amidst his holy myriads,

to execute judgment against all; and to convict all the ungodly of them of all their works of ungodliness, which they have wrought ungodlily, and of all the hard [things] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 te vākkalahakāriṇaḥ svabhāgyanindakāḥ svecchācāriṇo darpavādimukhaviśiṣṭā lābhārthaṁ manuṣyastāvakāśca santi|
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of profit.
17 kintu he priyatamāḥ, asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya preritai ryad vākyaṁ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kathitaṁ tat smarata,
But ye, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 phalataḥ śeṣasamaye svecchāto 'dharmmācāriṇo nindakā upasthāsyantīti|
that they said to you, that at [the] end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses.
19 ete lokāḥ svān pṛthak kurvvantaḥ sāṁsārikā ātmahīnāśca santi|
These are they who set [themselves] apart, natural [men], not having [the] Spirit.
20 kintu he priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ sveṣām atipavitraviśvāse nicīyamānāḥ pavitreṇātmanā prārthanāṁ kurvvanta
But ye, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 īśvarasya premnā svān rakṣata, anantajīvanāya cāsmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya kṛpāṁ pratīkṣadhvaṁ| (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 aparaṁ yūyaṁ vivicya kāṁścid anukampadhvaṁ
And of some have compassion, making a difference,
23 kāṁścid agnita uddhṛtya bhayaṁ pradarśya rakṣata, śārīrikabhāvena kalaṅkitaṁ vastramapi ṛtīyadhvaṁ|
but others save with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 aparañca yuṣmān skhalanād rakṣitum ullāsena svīyatejasaḥ sākṣāt nirddoṣān sthāpayituñca samartho
But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,
25 yo 'smākam advitīyastrāṇakarttā sarvvajña īśvarastasya gauravaṁ mahimā parākramaḥ kartṛtvañcedānīm anantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmen| (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
