1Jude, bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called ones beloved in God [the] Father and preserved in Jesus Christ:
1ܝܗܘܕܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܩܪܝܐ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܪܚܝܡܝܢ ܘܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܛܝܪܝܢ ܀
2Mercy to you, and peace, and love be multiplied.
2ܪܚܡܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܘܚܘܒܐ ܢܤܓܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܀
3Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
3ܚܒܝܒܝ 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 ܀
4For certain men have got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly [persons], turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
4ܩܢܘ 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 ܀
5But I would put you in remembrance, you who once knew all things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of [the] land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed those who had not believed.
5ܠܡܥܗܕܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܟܕ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܠܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܦܪܩ ܗܝ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܐܘܒܕ ܀
6And angels who had not kept their own original state, but had abandoned their own dwelling, he keeps in eternal chains under gloomy darkness, to [the] judgment of [the] great day;
6ܘܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܛܪܘ ܪܝܫܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܥܘܡܪܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܐܤܘܪܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܥܡܛܢܐ ܢܛܪ ܀
7as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them, committing greedily fornication, in like manner with them, and going after other flesh, lie there as an example, undergoing the judgment of eternal fire.
7ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܤܕܘܡ ܘܥܡܘܪܐ ܘܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܝܢ ܕܒܗ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܙܢܝ ܘܐܙܠ ܒܬܪ ܒܤܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܤܝܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܟܕ ܡܚܝܒܢ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܀
8Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile [the] flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities.
8ܒܗ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܐܦ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܚܠܡܐ ܡܫܬܪܓܪܓܝܢ ܠܒܤܪܐ ܡܢ ܡܛܢܦܝܢ ܠܡܪܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܘܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܀
9But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil he reasoned about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a railing judgment against [him], but said, [The] Lord rebuke thee.
9ܡܝܟܐܝܠ ܕܝܢ ܪܝܫ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܡ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܟܕ ܕܐܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܚ ܕܢܝܬܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܓܘܕܦܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܓܥܘܪ ܒܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܀
10But these, whatever things they know not, they speak railingly against; but what even, as the irrational animals, they understand by mere nature, in these things they corrupt themselves.
10ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܝܢܐܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܚܪܫܬܐ ܡܦܤܝܢ ܒܗܝܢ ܡܬܚܒܠܝܢ ܀
11Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain, and given themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
11ܘܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܐܘܪܚܗ ܕܩܐܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܘܒܬܪ ܛܥܝܘܬܗ ܕܒܠܥܡ ܒܐܓܪܐ ܐܫܬܪܚܘ ܘܒܥܨܝܝܘܬܗ ܕܩܘܪܚ ܐܒܕܘ ܀
12These are spots in your love-feasts, feasting together [with you] without fear, pasturing themselves; clouds without water, carried along by [the] winds; autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;
12ܗܠܝܢ 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 ܀
13raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity.
13ܓܠܠܐ ܥܙܝܙܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܕܒܝܕ ܪܘܥܬܗܘܢ ܡܚܘܝܢ ܒܗܬܬܗܘܢ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܛܢܐ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܛܝܪ ܀
14And Enoch, [the] seventh from Adam, prophesied also as to these, saying, Behold, [the] Lord has come amidst his holy myriads,
14ܐܬܢܒܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܫܒܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܕܡ ܚܢܘܟ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܕܗܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܀
15to execute judgment against all; and to convict all the ungodly of them of all their works of ungodliness, which they have wrought ungodlily, and of all the hard [things] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
15ܕܢܥܒܕ ܕܝܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܘܠܡܟܤܘ ܠܟܠ ܢܦܫܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܪܫܥܘ ܘܡܛܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܩܫܝܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܠܠܘ ܚܛܝܐ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܀
16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of profit.
16ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܪܛܢܝܢ ܘܥܕܠܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܨܒܘܢ ܟܕ ܐܝܟ ܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܓܢܝܚܬܐ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܦܪܨܘܦܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܀
17But *ye*, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
17ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܠܡܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܬܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܚܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
18that they said to you, that at [the] end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses.
18ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܚܪܬܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܕܐܝܟ ܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܒܬܪ ܪܘܫܥܐ ܀
19These are they who set [themselves] apart, natural [men], not having [the] Spirit.
19ܗܠܝܢ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܦܪܫܝܢ ܢܦܫܢܝܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
20But *ye*, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
20ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܐܬܒܢܘ ܡܢ ܕܪܝܫ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܟܕ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܀
21keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
21ܢܦܫܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܛܪ ܟܕ ܡܤܟܝܢܢ ܠܚܢܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀
22And of some have compassion, making a difference,
22ܘܠܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܚܛܘܦܘ ܀
23but others save with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
23ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܬܘܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܡܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܟܕ ܤܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܟܘܬܝܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܤܪܐ ܕܡܟܬܡܐ ܀
24But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,
24ܠܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܢܛܪ ܠܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܘܪܥܬܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܟܘܬܡܐ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܀
25to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen.
25ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܦܪܘܩܢ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܢ ܩܕܡ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܐܘܚܕܢܐ ܘܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܪܒܘܬܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܘܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܀
