1 yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāsō yākūbō bhrātā yihūdāstātēnēśvarēṇa pavitrīkr̥tān yīśukhrīṣṭēna rakṣitāṁścāhūtān lōkān prati patraṁ likhati|
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ:
2 kr̥pā śāntiḥ prēma ca bāhulyarūpēṇa yuṣmāsvadhitiṣṭhatu|
Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 hē priyāḥ, sādhāraṇaparitrāṇamadhi yuṣmān prati lēkhituṁ mama bahuyatnē jātē pūrvvakālē pavitralōkēṣu samarpitō yō dharmmastadarthaṁ yūyaṁ prāṇavyayēnāpi sacēṣṭā bhavatēti vinayārthaṁ yuṣmān prati patralēkhanamāvaśyakam amanyē|
Beloved, although I made every effort to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt it necessary to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all to the saints.
4 yasmād ētadrūpadaṇḍaprāptayē pūrvvaṁ likhitāḥ kēcijjanā asmān upasr̥ptavantaḥ, tē 'dhārmmikalōkā asmākam īśvarasyānugrahaṁ dhvajīkr̥tya lampaṭatām ācaranti, advitīyō 'dhipati ryō 'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭastaṁ nāṅgīkurvvanti|
For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 tasmād yūyaṁ purā yad avagatāstat puna ryuṣmān smārayitum icchāmi, phalataḥ prabhurēkakr̥tvaḥ svaprajā misaradēśād udadhāra yat tataḥ param aviśvāsinō vyanāśayat|
Although you are fully aware of this, I want to remind you that after Jesus had delivered His people out of the land of Egypt, He destroyed those who did not believe.
6 yē ca svargadūtāḥ svīyakartr̥tvapadē na sthitvā svavāsasthānaṁ parityaktavantastān sa mahādinasya vicārārtham andhakāramayē 'dhaḥsthānē sadāsthāyibhi rbandhanairabadhnāt| (aïdios g126)
And the angels who did not stay within their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling—these He has kept in eternal chains under darkness, bound for judgment on that great day. (aïdios g126)
7 aparaṁ sidōmam amōrā tannikaṭasthanagarāṇi caitēṣāṁ nivāsinastatsamarūpaṁ vyabhicāraṁ kr̥tavantō viṣamamaithunasya cēṣṭayā vipathaṁ gatavantaśca tasmāt tānyapi dr̥ṣṭāntasvarūpāṇi bhūtvā sadātanavahninā daṇḍaṁ bhuñjatē| (aiōnios g166)
In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 tathaivēmē svapnācāriṇō'pi svaśarīrāṇi kalaṅkayanti rājādhīnatāṁ na svīkurvvantyuccapadasthān nindanti ca|
Yet in the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings.
9 kintu pradhānadivyadūtō mīkhāyēlō yadā mūsasō dēhē śayatānēna vivadamānaḥ samabhāṣata tadā tisman nindārūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ samarpayituṁ sāhasaṁ na kr̥tvākathayat prabhustvāṁ bhartsayatāṁ|
But even the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not presume to bring a slanderous charge against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
10 kintvimē yanna budhyantē tannindanti yacca nirbbōdhapaśava ivēndriyairavagacchanti tēna naśyanti|
These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.
11 tān dhik, tē kābilō mārgē caranti pāritōṣikasyāśātō biliyamō bhrāntimanudhāvanti kōrahasya durmmukhatvēna vinaśyanti ca|
Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
12 yuṣmākaṁ prēmabhōjyēṣu tē vighnajanakā bhavanti, ātmambharayaśca bhūtvā nirlajjayā yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuñjatē| tē vāyubhiścālitā nistōyamēghā hēmantakālikā niṣphalā dvi rmr̥tā unmūlitā vr̥kṣāḥ,
These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.
13 svakīyalajjāphēṇōdvamakāḥ pracaṇḍāḥ sāmudrataraṅgāḥ sadākālaṁ yāvat ghōratimirabhāgīni bhramaṇakārīṇi nakṣatrāṇi ca bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 ādamataḥ saptamaḥ puruṣō yō hanōkaḥ sa tānuddiśya bhaviṣyadvākyamidaṁ kathitavān, yathā, paśya svakīyapuṇyānām ayutai rvēṣṭitaḥ prabhuḥ|
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones
15 sarvvān prati vicārājñāsādhanāyāgamiṣyati| tadā cādhārmmikāḥ sarvvē jātā yairaparādhinaḥ| vidharmmakarmmaṇāṁ tēṣāṁ sarvvēṣāmēva kāraṇāt| tathā tadvaiparītyēnāpyadharmmācāripāpināṁ| uktakaṭhōravākyānāṁ sarvvēṣāmapi kāraṇāt| paramēśēna dōṣitvaṁ tēṣāṁ prakāśayiṣyatē||
to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”
16 tē vākkalahakāriṇaḥ svabhāgyanindakāḥ svēcchācāriṇō darpavādimukhaviśiṣṭā lābhārthaṁ manuṣyastāvakāśca santi|
These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
17 kintu hē priyatamāḥ, asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya prēritai ryad vākyaṁ pūrvvaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kathitaṁ tat smarata,
But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
18 phalataḥ śēṣasamayē svēcchātō 'dharmmācāriṇō nindakā upasthāsyantīti|
when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
19 ētē lōkāḥ svān pr̥thak kurvvantaḥ sāṁsārikā ātmahīnāśca santi|
These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
20 kintu hē priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ svēṣām atipavitraviśvāsē nicīyamānāḥ pavitrēṇātmanā prārthanāṁ kurvvanta
But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 īśvarasya prēmnā svān rakṣata, anantajīvanāya cāsmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya kr̥pāṁ pratīkṣadhvaṁ| (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 aparaṁ yūyaṁ vivicya kāṁścid anukampadhvaṁ
And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt;
23 kāṁścid agnita uddhr̥tya bhayaṁ pradarśya rakṣata, śārīrikabhāvēna kalaṅkitaṁ vastramapi r̥tīyadhvaṁ|
save others by snatching them from the fire; and to still others show mercy tempered with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
24 aparañca yuṣmān skhalanād rakṣitum ullāsēna svīyatējasaḥ sākṣāt nirddōṣān sthāpayituñca samarthō
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy—
25 yō 'smākam advitīyastrāṇakarttā sarvvajña īśvarastasya gauravaṁ mahimā parākramaḥ kartr̥tvañcēdānīm anantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmēn| (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, and now, and for all eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
