Jude 1 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ Yehuḏ

² Compassion, and peace, and love be increased to you.

³ Beloved ones, making all haste to write to you concerning our common deliverance, I felt the necessity to write to you urging you to earnestly contend for the belief which was once for all delivered to the set-apart ones.

⁴ For certain men have slipped in, whose judgment was written about long ago, wicked ones perverting the favour of our Elohim for indecency, and denying the only Master יהוה  and our Master יהושע  Messiah.

⁵ But I intend to remind you, though you once knew this, that יהוה, having saved a people out of the land of Mitsrayim, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

⁶ And the messengers who did not keep their own principality, but left their own dwelling, He has kept in everlasting shackles under darkness for the judgment of the great day.

⁷ Even as Seḏ

⁸ In the same way, indeed, these dreamers defile the flesh, and reject authority, and speak evil of esteemed ones.

⁹ But Miḵ

¹⁰ But these blaspheme that which they do not know. And that which they know naturally, like unreasoning beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.

¹¹ Woe to them! Because they have gone in the way of Qayin, and gave themselves to the delusion of Bilʽ

¹² These are rocky reefs in your love feasts, feasting with you, feeding themselves without fear, waterless clouds borne about by the winds, late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,

¹³ wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shame, straying stars for whom blackness of darkness is kept forever.

¹⁴ And Ḥ

¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harsh words which wicked sinners have spoken against Him.”

¹⁶ These are grumblers, complainers, who walk according to their own lusts, and their mouth speaks proudly, admiring faces of others for the sake of gain.

¹⁷ But you, beloved ones, remember the words spoken before by the emissaries of our Master יהושע  Messiah,

¹⁸ because they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own wicked lusts.

¹⁹ These are the ones who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

²⁰ But you, beloved ones, building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief, praying in the Set-apart Spirit,

²¹ keep yourselves in the love of Elohim, looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע  Messiah unto everlasting life.

²² And show compassion toward some who are doubting,

²³ but others save with fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating, even the garment defiled by the flesh.

²⁴ And to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of His esteem with exceeding joy,

²⁵ to the only wise Elohim, our Saviour, be esteem and greatness and might and authority, both now and forever. Amĕ
