¹ Jude, or, Judah a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

¹Juda, sluga Isusa Krista, brat Jakovljev: ljubljenima u Bogu, Ocu, čuvanima za Isusa Krista - pozvanima.

²Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.

²Obilovali milošću, mirom i ljubavlju!

³Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

³Ljubljeni! Dok sam u svojoj brižljivosti kanio pisati vam o našem zajedničkom spasenju, osjetio sam potrebu da vas pismom potaknem da vojujete za vjeru koja je jednom zauvijek predana svetima.

⁴For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁴Jer ušuljali se neki, odavna već zapisani za ovaj sud, bezbožnici koji milost Boga našega promeću u razuzdanost i niječu jedinoga gospodara i Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.

⁵Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe.

⁵Želim vas podsjetiti, premda jednom zauvijek sve znate, kako je Gospodin izbavio narod iz Egipta, a zatim uništio nevjerne.

⁶Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.

⁶I anđele, koji nisu čuvali svojeg dostojanstva nego su ostavili svoje prebivalište, sačuvao je za sud velikoga Dana, okovane u mraku vječnim okovima;

⁷Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

⁷kao Sodoma i Gomora i okolni gradovi, koji su se poput njih podali bludu i otišli za drugom pÓuti, stoje za primjer, ispaštajući kaznu u vječnom ognju.

⁸Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.

⁸Uza sve to i ovi sanjari jednako skvrne tijelo, zabacuju Veličanstvo, pogrđuju Slave.

⁹But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”

⁹Kad se Mihael arkanđeo s đavlom prepirao za tijelo Mojsijevo, nije se usudio izreći pogrdan sud protiv njega, nego reče: "Spriječio te Gospodin!"

¹⁰But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.

¹⁰A ovi pogrđuju ono što ne poznaju; a što po naravi kao nerazumne životinje poznaju, u tom trunu.

¹¹Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.

¹¹Jao njima! Putom Kajinovim pođoše, i zabludi se Bileamovoj za plaću podaše, i propadoše od pobune Korahove.

¹²These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

¹²Oni su ljage na vašim agapama, bezobzirno se s vama gosteći i napasajući se; oblaci bezvodni što ih vjetrovi raznose, stabla besplodna u kasnoj jeseni, dvaput usahla, iskorijenjena,

¹³wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

¹³bijesno morsko valovlje što ispjenjuje svoje sramote, zvijezde lutalice kojima je spremljena crna tmina dovijeka.

¹⁴About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,

¹⁴O njima prorokova sedmi od Adama, Henok: "Gle, dođe Gospodin sa Desttisućama svojim

¹⁵to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

¹⁵suditi svima i pokarati sve bezbožnike za sva njihova bezbožna djela kojima bezbožno sagriješiše i za sve drzovite riječi koje grešni bezbožnici izrekoše protiv njega."

¹⁶These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

¹⁶To su rogoborni nezadovoljnici koji hode putom svojih požuda, usta im zbore naduto, ulaguju se u lice radi dobitka.

¹⁷But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁷A vi, ljubljeni, sjetite se riječi što ih prorekoše apostoli Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.

¹⁸They said to you that “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”

¹⁸Oni vam govorahu: "U posljednje će vrijeme biti podrugljivaca koji će se povoditi za bezbožnim požudama svojim."

¹⁹These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.

¹⁹To su sijači razdora, sjetilnici koji nemaju Duha.

²⁰But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

²⁰A vi, ljubljeni, naziđujte se na presvetoj vjeri svojoj moleći se u Duhu Svetom,

²¹Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

²¹uščuvajte se u ljubavi Božjoj, iščekujući milosrđe Gospodina našega Isusa Krista za vječni život.

²²On some have compassion, making a distinction,

²²I jedne, svadljivce, karajte,

²³and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.

²³druge spasavajte otimajući ih ognju, trećima se pak smilujte sa strahom, mrzeći i haljinu puti okaljanu.

²⁴Now to him who is able to keep them TR and NU read “you” from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

²⁴Onomu koji vas može očuvati od pada i besprijekorne postaviti pred svoju Slavu u klicanju -

²⁵to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

²⁵jedinomu Bogu, Spasitelju našemu, po Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu: slava, veličanstvo, vlast i moć i prije svakoga vijeka, i sada, i u sve vijeke. Amen.
