Carissimi, omnem sollicitudinem faciens scribendi vobis de communi vestra salute, necesse habui scribere vobis: deprecans supercertari semel traditæ sanctis fidei.

Carissimo, omni sollicitudine faciente scribe ad vos de communi vestro salute, necesse habe scribe ad vos: depreca supercerta semel trade ad sancto de fide.

Subintroierunt enim quidam homines (qui olim præscripti sunt in hoc judicium) impii, Dei nostri gratiam transferentes in luxuriam, et solum Dominatorem, et Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum negantes.

For certain men are secretly entered in (who were written of long ago unto this judgment), ungodly men, turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness and denying the only sovereign Ruler and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Subintroea nam uno homines (qui olim praescribe es in hoc iudicio) impio, de Deo nostro gratia transfer in luxuria, et solo Dominatore, et Domino nostro Iesu Christo nega.

Commonere autem vos volo, scientes semel omnia, quoniam Jesus populum de terra Ægypti salvans, secundo eos, qui non crediderunt, perdidit:

I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not.

Commone autem vos vol, sci semel omni, quia Iesu populo de terra de Aegypto salva, secundo illos, qui non crede, perde:

angelos vero, qui non servaverunt suum principatum, sed dereliquerunt suum domicilium, in judicium magni diei, vinculis æternis sub caligine reservavit.

And the angels who kept not their principality but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day.

Angelos vero, qui non serva suo principatu, sed derelinque suo domicilio, in iudicio magna de die, vinculos aeterno sub caliga reserva.

Sicut Sodoma, et Gomorrha, et finitimæ civitates simili modo exfornicatæ, et abeuntes post carnem alteram, factæ sunt exemplum, ignis æterni pœnam sustinentes.

As Sodom and Gomorrha and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

Sicut Sodoma, et Gomorrhase, et finitimo civitates simili solo exfornicatus, et i ab post carne altero, fac es exemplo, de igni aeterno poena sustine.

Similiter et hi carnem quidem maculant, dominationem autem spernunt, majestatem autem blasphemant.

In like manner, these men also defile the flesh and despise dominion and blaspheme majesty.

Similiter et hoc macula quidem carne, dominatione autem sperne, maiestate autem blasphema.

Cum Michaël Archangelus cum diabolo disputans altercaretur de Moysi corpore, non est ausus judicium inferre blasphemiæ: sed dixit: Imperet tibi Dominus.

When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee.

Cum Michaële Archangelo cum diabolo disputa altercor de Moysi corpore, non es aude iudicio infer de blasphemia: sed dic: Domino ad te impera.

Hi autem quæcumque quidem ignorant, blasphemant: quæcumque autem naturaliter, tamquam muta animalia, norunt, in his corrumpuntur.

But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.

Illo autem omni quidem ignora, blasphema: omni autem naturaliter, sicut muto animales, nosce, in hoc corrumpe.

Væ illis, quia in via Cain abierunt, et errore Balaam mercede effusi sunt, et in contradictione Core perierunt!

Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves and have perished in the contradiction of Core.

Hi sunt in epulis suis maculæ, convivantes sine timore, semetipsos pascentes, nubes sine aqua, quæ a ventis circumferentur, arbores autumnales, infructuosæ, bis mortuæ, eradicatæ,

These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves: clouds without water, which are carried about by winds: trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots:

Illo es in epulas suo maculas, convivor sine timore, semetipta pascor, nube sine aqua, que ab ventos circumfer, arbores auctumnale, infructuoso, bis more, eradica,

fluctus feri maris, despumantes suas confusiones, sidera errantia: quibus procella tenebrarum servata est in æternum.

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion: wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever.

Fluctus feros de mari, despuma suo confusiones, sideres erra: ad que procella de tenebras serva es in aeterno.

Prophetavit autem et de his septimus ab Adam Enoch, dicens: Ecce venit Dominus in sanctis millibus suis

Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints:

facere judicium contra omnes, et arguere omnes impios de omnibus operibus impietatis eorum, quibus impie egerunt, et de omnibus duris, quæ locuti sunt contra Deum peccatores impii.

To execute judgment upon all and to reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness, whereby they have done ungodly: and for all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against God.

Facere iudicio contra omni, et argue omni impio de omni operes de impietate de illos, ad que impie age, et de omni duro, que loque es contra Deo peccatores impio.

Hi sunt murmuratores querulosi, secundum desideria sua ambulantes, et os eorum loquitur superba, mirantes personas quæstus causa.

These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires: and their mouth speaketh proud things, admiring persons, for gain's sake.

Illo es murmuratores queruloso, secundo desiderios suo ambula, et ore de illos loque superbo, miror personas de quaestu causa.

Vos autem carissimi, memores estote verborum, quæ prædicta sunt ab apostolis Domini nostri Jesu Christi,

But you, my dearly beloved, be mindful of the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Vos autem carissimo, memore es de verbos, que praedica es ab apostolos de Domino nostro de Iesu de Christo,

qui dicebant vobis, quoniam in novissimo tempore venient illusores, secundum desideria sua ambulantes in impietatibus.

Who told you that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses.

Qui dic ad vos, quia in novissimo tempore illusores veni, secundo desiderios suo ambula in impietates.

Hi sunt, qui segregant semetipsos, animales, Spiritum non habentes.

These are they who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit.

Illo es, qui segrega semetipta, animale, Spiritu non habe.

Vos autem carissimi superædificantes vosmetipsos sanctissimæ vestræ fidei, in Spiritu Sancto orantes,

But you, my beloved, building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Vos autem carissimo superaedifica vosmetior sancto vestro de fide, in Spiritu Sancto ora,

vosmetipsos in dilectione Dei servate, exspectantes misericordiam Domini nostri Jesu Christi in vitam æternam.

Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting.

Vosmetior in dilectione de Deo serva, expecta misericordia de Domino nostro de Iesu de Christo in vita aeterno.

Et hos quidem arguite judicatos:

And some indeed reprove, being judged:

Et hoc quidem argue iudica:

illos vero salvate, de igne rapientes. Aliis autem miseremini in timore: odientes et eam, quæ carnalis est, maculatam tunicam.

But others save, pulling them out of the fire. And on others have mercy, in fear, hating also the spotted garment which is carnal.

Illos vero salva, de igni rape. Ad alio autem misereor in timore: ode et illa, que carnali es, macula tunica.

Ei autem qui potens est vos conservare sine peccato et constituere ante conspectum gloriæ suæ immaculatos in exsultatione in adventu Domini nostri Jesu Christi,

Now to him who is able to preserve you without sin and to present you spotless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Ad illo autem qui potente es vos conserva sine peccato et constitue ante conspectu de gloria suo immacula in exsultatione in adventu de Domino nostro de Iesu de Christo,

soli Deo Salvatori nostro, per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum, gloria et magnificentia, imperium et potestas ante omne sæculum, et nunc, et in omnia sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

To the only God our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and magnificence, empire and power, before all ages, and now, and for all ages of ages. Amen.
