Jude 1 (ENGOJB)

1From Yehuda, eved (servant) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua/Yeshua and brother of Ya'akov; To HaKeru'im (the Called Ones), beloved in Elokim HaAv and HaShemurim (the Guarded ones) for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.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:

2Rachamim Hashem and Shalom Hashem and Ahavas Hashem to you abundantly!Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

3Chaverim, although I was very eager to write to you an iggeret hakodesh concerning the Geulah (Redemption) we share, it suddenly became necessary to write you an urgent appeal to fight for the Emunah (Faith, the Emunah of the true Dat HaYehudit), which was once for all time handed over and transmitted to the Kedoshim.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.

4For certain men, anshei resha (men of wickedness), written down long ago for this harsha'ah (condemnation), have infiltrated our ranks, men twisting the Chen v'Chesed HaElokeinu into a license for sensual self-indulgence and denying our only Ribboneinu and Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.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.

5Now I wish to remind you, though you are fully informed, that Hashem, Who once saved a people from Eretz Mitzrayim (Egypt), afterwards destroyed every Apikoros not having Emunah (Faith).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.

6And you have da'as about the malachim (angels), not being content to keep their positions of Memshalah (Rule, Dominion), having deserted their own station, these malachim Hashem has kept under sharsherot (chains) oif eibik (forever), under choshech for the Mishpat HaYom HaGadol, the Judgment of the Great Day.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.

7As S'dom and Amora and the cities around them, in a doime (similar) manner to these, indulging in gilui arayot (sexual immorality) against the course of nature and turning aside and going after alien flesh, are set forth to lie in public view as a mofet (example), undergoing the onesh of Eish Olam (Eternal Fire).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.

8Likewise, indeed, these “certain men,” 1:4, these dreamers, on the one hand, pollute the basar (flesh); on the other hand, they do not recognize HaMemshalah (rule) of glorious heavenly beings; instead, they speak lashon hora with Chillul Hashem railing against them.Yet in the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings.

9By contrast, Mikha'el the Sar HaMalachim, when he took issue with HaSatan and disputed about the geviyyat Moshe (body of Moses), did not presume to pronounce a slanderous judgment against HaSatan, but said, “Hashem rebuke you!”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!”

10But, on the one hand, these men slander whatever they do not understand; on the other hand, what they do have binah of instinctively, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.

11Oy to them! Because they walked in the Derech Kayin and to the Toyus Bil'am (Error of Balaam) they surrendered for revach (gain), and in the mered (rebellion) of Korach against HaMemshalah they were destroyed!Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed for profit into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.

12These men are hidden reefs moored at your seudas (agape-feasts), feasting with you without yires-hakoved, shepherding themselves, waterless clouds being carried away by winds, autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, torn up from their shorashim (roots),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.

13Wild waves of the sea, foaming up their ma'asim hara'im (evil deeds), wandering kokhavim (stars) for whom the shvartz gloom of choshech has been reserved oif eibik (forever).They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.

14But also it was about these men that Chanokh, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Hinei, Adonoi comes with His ten thousands of malachim,Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones

15For the purpose of bringing all to Mishpat and for the purpose of proving guilty every neshamah of all of its deeds done without yires-hakoved and of all the harsh things chote'im (sinners) without yires-hakoved spoke against Him.”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.”

16These men are malcontents and fault-finders, walking according to their ta'avot (lusts); their mouth speaks arrogant things, flattering for the tzil (purpose) of financial advantage.These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.

17But you, Chaverim, keep in mind the predictions of the Shlichim of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua,But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ

18Because they were telling you that at Acharit HaYamim (the End of Days), there will be leitzim (scoffers) walking according to their ta'avot (lusts) without yires-hakoved.when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”

19These men are the ones causing division, worldly men, not having the Ruach Hakodesh.These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.

20But you, Chaverim, build yourselves up on what is kodesh kodeshim (most holy) of yours, your Emunah (Faith), davening in the Ruach Hakodesh.But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

21Keep yourselves in the Ahavas Hashem, awaiting the rachamim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua unto Chayyei Olam.keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.

22To those who are wavering, show rachamim; others, deliver, snatching them out of the Eish.And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt;

23On others, have rachamim mixed with yires-hakoved, hating even the undergarment defiled by corrupt human nature.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.

24Now to the One who is able to stand shomer over you, to make you moineia (prevented) from falling, and to set you unblemished in the presence of his Shekhinah, with sasson rav (much rejoicing),Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy—

25To HaElohim HaYachid Moshieinu (to the only G-d our Savior), through Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua, be HaKavod (Glory) and HaGedulah (Greatness) and HaMemshalah (Rule) and HaGevurah (Might) Mei-Olam V'ad Atah V'ad Olemei Olamim (before all time, now, and forever.) Omein.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.
