Prefácio e saudação
1 Judas, servo de Jesus Cristo e irmão de Tiago, aos chamados, queridos em Deus Pai e conservados por Jesus Cristo: 2 a misericórdia, e a paz, e o amor vos sejam multiplicadas.
Contra os ímpios e falsos mestres
3 Amados, procurando eu escrever-vos com toda a diligência acerca da comum salvação, tive por necessidade escrever-vos e exortar-vos a batalhar pela fé que uma vez foi dada aos santos. 4 Porque se introduziram alguns, que já antes estavam escritos para este mesmo juízo, homens ímpios, que convertem em dissolução a graça de Deus e negam a Deus, único dominador e Senhor nosso, Jesus Cristo.
5 Mas quero lembrar-vos, como a quem já uma vez soube isto, que, havendo o Senhor salvo um povo, tirando-o da terra do Egito, destruiu, depois, os que não creram; 6 e aos anjos que não guardaram o seu principado, mas deixaram a sua própria habitação, reservou na escuridão e em prisões eternas até ao juízo daquele grande Dia; 7 assim como Sodoma, e Gomorra, e as cidades circunvizinhas, que, havendo-se corrompido como aqueles e ido após outra carne, foram postas por exemplo, sofrendo a pena do fogo eterno.
8 E, contudo, também estes, semelhantemente adormecidos, contaminam a sua carne, e rejeitam a dominação, e vituperam as autoridades. 9 Mas o arcanjo Miguel, quando contendia com o diabo e disputava a respeito do corpo de Moisés, não ousou pronunciar juízo de maldição contra ele; mas disse: O Senhor te repreenda. 10 Estes, porém, dizem mal do que não sabem; e, naquilo que naturalmente conhecem, como animais irracionais, se corrompem. 11 Ai deles! Porque entraram pelo caminho de Caim, e foram levados pelo engano do prêmio de Balaão, e pereceram na contradição de Corá. 12 Estes são manchas em vossas festas de fraternidade, banqueteando-se convosco e apascentando-se a si mesmos sem temor; são nuvens sem água, levadas pelos ventos de uma para outra parte; são como árvores murchas, infrutíferas, duas vezes mortas, desarraigadas; 13 ondas impetuosas do mar, que escumam as suas mesmas abominações, estrelas errantes, para os quais está eternamente reservada a negrura das trevas.
14 E destes profetizou também Enoque, o sétimo depois de Adão, dizendo: Eis que é vindo o Senhor com milhares de seus santos, 15 para fazer juízo contra todos e condenar dentre eles todos os ímpios, por todas as suas obras de impiedade que impiamente cometeram e por todas as duras palavras que ímpios pecadores disseram contra ele. 16 Estes são murmuradores, queixosos da sua sorte, andando segundo as suas concupiscências, e cuja boca diz coisas mui arrogantes, admirando as pessoas por causa do interesse.
17 Mas vós, amados, lembrai-vos das palavras que vos foram preditas pelos apóstolos de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, 18 os quais vos diziam que, no último tempo, haveria escarnecedores que andariam segundo as suas ímpias concupiscências. 19 Estes são os que causam divisões, sensuais, que não têm o Espírito.
Exortação e doxologia final
20 Mas vós, amados, edificando-vos a vós mesmos sobre a vossa santíssima fé, orando no Espírito Santo, 21 conservai a vós mesmos no amor de Deus, esperando a misericórdia de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, para a vida eterna. 22 E apiedai-vos de alguns que estão duvidosos; 23 e salvai alguns, arrebatando-os do fogo; tende deles misericórdia com temor, aborrecendo até a roupa manchada da carne.
24 Ora, àquele que é poderoso para vos guardar de tropeçar e apresentar-vos irrepreensíveis, com alegria, perante a sua glória, 25 ao único Deus, Salvador nosso, por Jesus Cristo, nosso Senhor, seja glória e majestade, domínio e poder, antes de todos os séculos, agora e para todo o sempre. Amém!
Jude
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Jude, a servant[a] of Jesus Christ and brother of James,
(A)To those who are called, (B)beloved in God the Father and (C)kept for[b] Jesus Christ:
2 May (D)mercy, (E)peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Judgment on False Teachers
3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our (F)common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you (G)to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For (H)certain people (I)have crept in unnoticed (J)who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert (K)the grace of our God into sensuality and (L)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Now I want (M)to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that (N)Jesus, who saved[c] a people out of the land of Egypt, (O)afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And (P)the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— 7 just as (Q)Sodom and Gomorrah and (R)the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and (S)pursued unnatural desire,[d] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and (T)blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when (U)the archangel (V)Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing (W)about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, (X)“The Lord rebuke you.” 10 (Y)But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walked in (Z)the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain (AA)to Balaam's error and (AB)perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs[e] (AC)at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, (AD)shepherds feeding themselves; (AE)waterless clouds, (AF)swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, (AG)uprooted; 13 (AH)wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of (AI)their own shame; (AJ)wandering stars, (AK)for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
14 It was also about these that Enoch, (AL)the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, (AM)“Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 (AN)to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have (AO)committed in such an ungodly way, and of all (AP)the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These are grumblers, malcontents, (AQ)following their own sinful desires; (AR)they are loud-mouthed boasters, (AS)showing favoritism to gain advantage.
A Call to Persevere
17 But you must (AT)remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They[f] said to you, (AU)“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19 It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, (AV)devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, (AW)building yourselves up in your most holy faith and (AX)praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 (AY)keep yourselves in the love of God, (AZ)waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by (BA)snatching them out of (BB)the fire; to others show mercy (BC)with fear, hating even (BD)the garment[g] stained by the flesh.
Doxology
24 (BE)Now to him who is able (BF)to keep you from stumbling and (BG)to present you (BH)blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to (BI)the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, (BJ)be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time[h] and now and forever. Amen.

Jude
Revised Geneva Translation
1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called and sanctified by God the Father, and reserved to Jesus Christ:
2 Mercy to you, and peace and love be multiplied.
3 Beloved, while I diligently wrote to you of the common salvation, it became necessary for me to write to you in exhortation, so that you would earnestly contend for the faith which was once and for all given to the saints.
4 For some men have crept in who were long ago pre-ordained to this condemnation; ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into debauchery, and deny God, the only Lord and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Therefore, I will remind you (since you once knew this) how that the Lord - after He had delivered the people out of Egypt - destroyed those afterward who did not believe.
6 Also, the angels who did not keep their first estate - but left their own habitation - He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness until the judgment of the great Day;
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them which committed fornication and followed strange flesh in the same way they did are set forth as an example and suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also, these dreamers defile the flesh and despise government and speak evil of those who are in authority.
9 Yet Michael, the archangel, when he strove against the devil and disputed about the body of Moses, did not dare speak evil against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
10 But these speak evil of those things which they do not know. And whatever things they know naturally (as beasts which are without reason), in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe to them! For they have followed the way of Cain and are cast away by the deceit of Balaam’s wages, and perish in the rebellion of Korah!
12 These are reefs in your feasts of charity; feasting with you, shamelessly feeding themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by winds; corrupt trees without fruit, twice dead and plucked up by the roots.
13 They are the raging waves of the sea, foaming forth their own disgrace. They are wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
14 And Enoch also - the seventh from Adam - prophesied of such, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with thousands of his saints
15 to give judgment against all, and to rebuke all the ungodly among them of all their wicked deeds which they have ungodly committed; and of all their cruel speech which wicked sinners have spoken against Him.”
16 These are murmurers, complainers (walking after their own lusts), whose mouths speak proud things; admiring others for the sake of advantage.
17 But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 how that they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These are those who cause division from others; bestial, not having the Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, edify yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
21 And keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life.
22 And have compassion on some, making distinctions.
23 But save others with fear, pulling them out of the fire. And hate even the garment which is defiled by the flesh.
24 Now to Him Who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His Glory, with joy;
25 to God - only wise, our Savior - be glory and majesty and dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
