1 yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāso yākūbo bhrātā yihūdāstāteneśvareṇa pavitrīkṛtān yīśukhrīṣṭena rakṣitāṁścāhūtān lokān prati patraṁ likhati|
Jude, slave of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, those who have been sanctified by God the Father and preserved through Jesus Christ:
2 kṛpā śāntiḥ prema ca bāhulyarūpeṇa yuṣmāsvadhitiṣṭhatu|
May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
3 he priyāḥ, sādhāraṇaparitrāṇamadhi yuṣmān prati lekhituṁ mama bahuyatne jāte pūrvvakāle pavitralokeṣu samarpito yo dharmmastadarthaṁ yūyaṁ prāṇavyayenāpi saceṣṭā bhavateti vinayārthaṁ yuṣmān prati patralekhanamāvaśyakam amanye|
Dear ones, while I was really intent on writing to you about the salvation we share, I had a compulsion to write exhorting you to contend earnestly for the Faith once for all committed 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|
Because certain men, who were marked out for this condemnation long ago, have sneaked in; they are godless, perverting the grace of our God into licentiousness and denying the only Sovereign God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 tasmād yūyaṁ purā yad avagatāstat puna ryuṣmān smārayitum icchāmi, phalataḥ prabhurekakṛtvaḥ svaprajā misaradeśād udadhāra yat tataḥ param aviśvāsino vyanāśayat|
So I want to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord delivered a people out of the land of Egypt yet later destroyed those who did not believe.
6 ye ca svargadūtāḥ svīyakartṛtvapade na sthitvā svavāsasthānaṁ parityaktavantastān sa mahādinasya vicārārtham andhakāramaye 'dhaḥsthāne sadāsthāyibhi rbandhanairabadhnāt| (aïdios g126)
And the angels who did not keep their proper domain but deserted their own dwelling He has kept bound in everlasting chains under darkness for 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)
So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns—who gave themselves up to fornication and went after a different kind of flesh in a manner similar to those angels—stand as an example, undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 tathaiveme svapnācāriṇo'pi svaśarīrāṇi kalaṅkayanti rājādhīnatāṁ na svīkurvvantyuccapadasthān nindanti ca|
Likewise these dreamers in their turn both defile flesh and reject authority and slander celestial beings.
9 kintu pradhānadivyadūto mīkhāyelo yadā mūsaso dehe śayatānena vivadamānaḥ samabhāṣata tadā tisman nindārūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ samarpayituṁ sāhasaṁ na kṛtvākathayat prabhustvāṁ bhartsayatāṁ|
Yet even Michael the archangel, when taking issue with the devil—he was arguing about Moses' corpse—did not dare to pronounce a reviling judgment, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”
10 kintvime yanna budhyante tannindanti yacca nirbbodhapaśava ivendriyairavagacchanti tena naśyanti|
But these speak abusively against whatever they do not understand, while whatever they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals—by these things they are ruined.
11 tān dhik, te kābilo mārge caranti pāritoṣikasyāśāto biliyamo bhrāntimanudhāvanti korahasya durmmukhatvena vinaśyanti ca|
Woe to them, because they have taken the way of Cain, have rushed into Balaam's error for profit, and have destroyed themselves in Korah's rebellion!
12 yuṣmākaṁ premabhojyeṣu te vighnajanakā bhavanti, ātmambharayaśca bhūtvā nirlajjayā yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuñjate| te vāyubhiścālitā nistoyameghā hemantakālikā niṣphalā dvi rmṛtā unmūlitā vṛkṣāḥ,
These men are hidden reefs at your love feasts, joining the feast without fear, caring only for themselves; they are clouds without rain, carried along by winds; they are late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead (having been uprooted);
13 svakīyalajjāpheṇodvamakāḥ pracaṇḍāḥ sāmudrataraṅgāḥ sadākālaṁ yāvat ghoratimirabhāgīni bhramaṇakārīṇi nakṣatrāṇi ca bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
they are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shameful acts; they are wandering stars, for whom the black of the darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 ādamataḥ saptamaḥ puruṣo yo hanokaḥ sa tānuddiśya bhaviṣyadvākyamidaṁ kathitavān, yathā, paśya svakīyapuṇyānām ayutai rveṣṭitaḥ prabhuḥ|
Now even Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men saying: “Look, the Lord is coming with ten thousands of His holy ones
15 sarvvān prati vicārājñāsādhanāyāgamiṣyati| tadā cādhārmmikāḥ sarvve jātā yairaparādhinaḥ| vidharmmakarmmaṇāṁ teṣāṁ sarvveṣāmeva kāraṇāt| tathā tadvaiparītyenāpyadharmmācāripāpināṁ| uktakaṭhoravākyānāṁ sarvveṣāmapi kāraṇāt| parameśena doṣitvaṁ teṣāṁ prakāśayiṣyate||
to execute judgment on everyone and to convict all the godless among them of all their godless deeds that they have godlessly perpetrated, also of all the harsh things they have spoken against Him—the godless sinners!”
16 te vākkalahakāriṇaḥ svabhāgyanindakāḥ svecchācāriṇo darpavādimukhaviśiṣṭā lābhārthaṁ manuṣyastāvakāśca santi|
These men are grumblers and complainers, living according to their own evil desires; they talk big, flattering people to gain advantage.
17 kintu he priyatamāḥ, asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya preritai ryad vākyaṁ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kathitaṁ tat smarata,
But you, dear ones, remember the words that were spoken before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
18 phalataḥ śeṣasamaye svecchāto 'dharmmācāriṇo nindakā upasthāsyantīti|
how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers who live according to their own godless desires.
19 ete lokāḥ svān pṛthak kurvvantaḥ sāṁsārikā ātmahīnāśca santi|
These are the ones who cause division; they are ‘soulish’, not having a spirit.
20 kintu he priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ sveṣām atipavitraviśvāse nicīyamānāḥ pavitreṇātmanā prārthanāṁ kurvvanta
But you, dear ones, building yourselves up in 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 God's love, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ into eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 aparaṁ yūyaṁ vivicya kāṁścid anukampadhvaṁ
Now be merciful to some, making a distinction;
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 stained by the flesh.
24 aparañca yuṣmān skhalanād rakṣitum ullāsena svīyatejasaḥ sākṣāt nirddoṣān sthāpayituñca samartho
Now to Him who is able to keep them from stumbling and to present them before His glorious presence without fault and with exultation—
25 yo 'smākam advitīyastrāṇakarttā sarvvajña īśvarastasya gauravaṁ mahimā parākramaḥ kartṛtvañcedānīm anantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmen| (aiōn g165)
to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, power and authority, both now and throughout all the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
