| 1 ܝܗܘܕܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܩܪܝܐ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܪܚܝܡܝܢ ܘܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܛܝܪܝܢ ܀ | 1 Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept safe for Jesus Christ: |
| 2 ܪܚܡܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܘܚܘܒܐ ܢܤܓܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܀ | 2 may mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance. |
| 3 ܚܒܝܒܝ ܟܕ ܟܠܗ ܝܨܝܦܘܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܚܝܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܕܓܘܐ ܐܢܢܩܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܡܦܝܤ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܓܘܢܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܚܠܦ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܐܫܬܠܡܬ ܠܩܕܝܫܐ ܀ | 3 Beloved, although I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I now feel a need to write to encourage you to contend for the faith that was once for all handed down to the holy ones. |
| 4 ܩܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܥܠܢܘܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܫܘܪܝܐ ܩܕܡܘ ܐܬܟܬܒܘ ܒܚܘܝܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܕܠܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܡܗܦܟܝܢ ܠܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܘܒܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܡܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܦܪܝܢ ܀ | 4 For there have been some intruders, who long ago were designated for this condemnation, godless persons, who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. |
| 5 ܠܡܥܗܕܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܟܕ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܠܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܦܪܩ ܗܝ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܐܘܒܕ ܀ | 5 I wish to remind you, although you know all things, that (the) Lord who once saved a people from the land of Egypt later destroyed those who did not believe. |
| 6 ܘܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܛܪܘ ܪܝܫܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܥܘܡܪܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܐܤܘܪܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܥܡܛܢܐ ܢܛܪ ܀ | 6 The angels too, who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains, in gloom, for the judgment of the great day. |
| 7 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܤܕܘܡ ܘܥܡܘܪܐ ܘܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܝܢ ܕܒܗ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܙܢܝ ܘܐܙܠ ܒܬܪ ܒܤܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܤܝܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܟܕ ܡܚܝܒܢ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܀ | 7 Likewise, Sodom, Gomorrah, and the surrounding towns, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual promiscuity and practiced unnatural vice, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. |
| 8 ܒܗ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܐܦ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܚܠܡܐ ܡܫܬܪܓܪܓܝܢ ܠܒܤܪܐ ܡܢ ܡܛܢܦܝܢ ܠܡܪܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܘܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܀ | 8 Similarly, these dreamers nevertheless also defile the flesh, scorn lordship, and revile glorious beings. |
| 9 ܡܝܟܐܝܠ ܕܝܢ ܪܝܫ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܡ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܟܕ ܕܐܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܚ ܕܢܝܬܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܓܘܕܦܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܓܥܘܪ ܒܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܀ | 9 Yet the archangel Michael, when he argued with the devil in a dispute over the body of Moses, did not venture to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!" |
| 10 ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܝܢܐܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܚܪܫܬܐ ܡܦܤܝܢ ܒܗܝܢ ܡܬܚܒܠܝܢ ܀ | 10 But these people revile what they do not understand and are destroyed by what they know by nature like irrational animals. |
| 11 ܘܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܐܘܪܚܗ ܕܩܐܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܘܒܬܪ ܛܥܝܘܬܗ ܕܒܠܥܡ ܒܐܓܪܐ ܐܫܬܪܚܘ ܘܒܥܨܝܝܘܬܗ ܕܩܘܪܚ ܐܒܕܘ ܀ | 11 Woe to them! They followed the way of Cain, abandoned themselves to Balaam's error for the sake of gain, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. |
| 12 ܗܠܝܢ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܢܝܚܬܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܡܟܬܡܝܢ ܡܬܦܪܦܥܝܢ ܟܕ ܕܠܐ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܪܥܝܢ ܥܢܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܛܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܦܗܝܢ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܕܐܘܦܝ ܐܒܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܡܝܬܘ ܬܢܝܢܘܬ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܡܢ ܥܩܪܝܗܘܢ ܀ | 12 These are blemishes on your love feasts, as they carouse fearlessly and look after themselves. They are waterless clouds blown about by winds, fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead and uprooted. |
| 13 ܓܠܠܐ ܥܙܝܙܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܕܒܝܕ ܪܘܥܬܗܘܢ ܡܚܘܝܢ ܒܗܬܬܗܘܢ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܛܢܐ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܛܝܪ ܀ | 13 They are like wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shameless deeds, wandering stars for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved forever. |
| 14 ܐܬܢܒܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܫܒܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܕܡ ܚܢܘܟ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܕܗܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܀ | 14 Enoch, of the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied also about them when he said, "Behold, the Lord has come with his countless holy ones |
| 15 ܕܢܥܒܕ ܕܝܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܘܠܡܟܤܘ ܠܟܠ ܢܦܫܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܪܫܥܘ ܘܡܛܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܩܫܝܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܠܠܘ ܚܛܝܐ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܀ | 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict everyone for all the godless deeds that they committed and for all the harsh words godless sinners have uttered against him." |
| 16 ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܪܛܢܝܢ ܘܥܕܠܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܨܒܘܢ ܟܕ ܐܝܟ ܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܓܢܝܚܬܐ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܦܪܨܘܦܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܀ | 16 These people are complainers, disgruntled ones who live by their desires; their mouths utter bombast as they fawn over people to gain advantage. |
| 17 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܠܡܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܬܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܚܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀ | 17 But you, beloved, remember the words spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 18 ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܚܪܬܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܕܐܝܟ ܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܒܬܪ ܪܘܫܥܐ ܀ | 18 for they told you, "In (the) last time there will be scoffers who will live according to their own godless desires." |
| 19 ܗܠܝܢ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܦܪܫܝܢ ܢܦܫܢܝܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܀ | 19 These are the ones who cause divisions; they live on the natural plane, devoid of the Spirit. |
| 20 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܐܬܒܢܘ ܡܢ ܕܪܝܫ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܟܕ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܀ | 20 But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the holy Spirit. |
| 21 ܢܦܫܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܛܪ ܟܕ ܡܤܟܝܢܢ ܠܚܢܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀ | 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. |
| 22 ܘܠܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܚܛܘܦܘ ܀ | 22 On those who waver, have mercy; |
| 23 ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܬܘܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܡܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܟܕ ܤܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܟܘܬܝܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܤܪܐ ܕܡܟܬܡܐ ܀ | 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; on others have mercy with fear, abhorring even the outer garment stained by the flesh. |
| 24 ܠܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܢܛܪ ܠܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܘܪܥܬܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܟܘܬܡܐ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܀ | 24 To the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished and exultant, in the presence of his glory, |
| 25 ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܦܪܘܩܢ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܢ ܩܕܡ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܐܘܚܕܢܐ ܘܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܪܒܘܬܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܘܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܀ | 25 to the only God, our savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord be glory, majesty, power, and authority from ages past, now, and for ages to come. Amen. |
