Note: This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
Note: This Literal Version is a somewhat technical translation designed to give the English reader a window into what's actually written in the original languages. (See the introduction for more details—we recommend that you read the introduction first if you're wanting to read and understand this Literal Version.) For nice, modern, readable English you should look at the (forthcoming) Readers' Version. (Between the two versions, you should also be able to get an idea about how Bible Translation actually works. You can also compare your other favourite Bible translations with this Literal Version to get more insight into how they also interpreted the original texts in crafting their translation.)
Youdas/(Yəhūdāh)
It is our prayer that this Literal Version of the Open English Translation of the Bible will give you fresh insight into the words of the inspired Biblical writers.
1 Youdas/(Yəhūdāh), slave of_Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen_one/messiah, and brother of_Yakōbos/(Yaˊₐqoⱱ), to_the ones called having_been_loved by god the_father, and having_been_kept in_Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah: 2 mercy to_you_all, and peace, and might_have_multiplied love.
3 Beloved, making all earnestness to_be_writing to_you_all concerning the common salvation of_us, I_had necessity to_write to_you_all, exhorting you to_be_contending for_the faith having_been_given_over once to_the holy ones.
4 For/Because some people sneaked_in which long_ago having_been_previously_written for this the judgement, ungodly ones, replacing the grace of_the god of_us into wantonness, and disowning the only master and master of_us, Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah.
5 And to_remind you_all I_am_wishing, having_perceived you_all once all things, that Yaʸsous having_saved a_people out_of the_land of_Aiguptos/(Miʦrayim), in_the second place destroyed the ones not having_believed.
6 And the_messengers which not having_kept the rule of_themselves, but having_left_behind their own dwelling, has_kept in_ eternal _bonds under darkness to the_judgement of_the_great day.
7 As Sodoma/(Şədom) and Gomorra/(ˊAmorāh), and the cities around them, having_fornicated the in_a_similar manner to_these, and having_gone_away after different flesh, they_are_lying_before an_example of_ the_justice undergoing eternal _fire.
8 Likewise however also these dreaming ones, are_defiling the_flesh on_one_hand, on_the_other_hand they_are_rejecting mastership, on_the_other_hand they_are_slandering glories.
9 But the Miⱪaaʸl/(Mīkāʼēl) the archangel, when disputing with_the devil, was_discussing about the body of_Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh), dared not to_bring_ a_judgement of_slander _against, but said, the_master Might_give_rebuke to_you.
10 But these as_much_as on_one_hand they_have_ not _known they_are_slandering, on_the_other_hand as_much_as naturally as the illogical animals are_understanding, they_are_being_corrupted in these things.
Because they_were_gone in_the way of_ the _Kain/(Qayin), and they_were_poured_out to_the deception the of_Balaʼam/(Bilˊām) for_reward, and in_the controversy of_ the _Kore/(Qoraḩ) they_perished.
12 These are the ones in the love_feasts of_you_all, stains fearlessly feasting_with, shepherding themselves, waterless clouds being_carried_away by of_winds, unfruitful late_autumn trees having_died_off twice having_been_uprooted, 13 wild waves of_the_sea foaming_out the shame of_themselves, wandering stars, to_whom the darkness of_ the _darkness has_been_kept to the_age.
14 And Enōⱪ/(Ḩₐnōk) the_seventh from Adam/(ʼĀdām) prophesied also to_these, saying: Behold, the_master came among holy tens_of_thousands of_him, 15 to_execute judgement against all, and to_rebuke all the ungodly concerning all their works of_ungodliness of_them, which they_acted_ungodly, and concerning all the hard things, of_which ungodly sinners spoke against him.
16 These are grumblings complaining, following according_to the lusts of_them, and the mouth of_them is_speaking arrogant messages, marvelling people for_reason_of benefit.
17 But you_all, beloved, be_reminded of_the messages which having_been_previously_spoken by the ambassadors of_the master of_us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen_one/messiah, 18 that they_were_saying to_you_all: In the_last time will_be mockers following according_to the of_ the _ungodliness lusts of_themselves.
19 These are the ones dividing, soulish, not having the_spirit.
20 But you_all beloved, building_ yourselves _up.
in_the holiest faith of_you_all, praying in the_ holy _spirit.
21 Keep yourselves in the_love of_god, waiting_for the mercy of_the master of_us, Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah, to eternal life.
22 And on_one_hand be_showing_mercy to_some doubting, 23 some be_saving on_the_other_hand snatching out_of the_fire, and be_showing_mercy to_some with fear, hating even the clothes having_been_stained by the flesh.
24 And to_the_ infallible _one being_able to_keep you_all, and to_stand blameless in_front_of the glory of_him, with exultation, 25 to_the_only god saviour of_us, through Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah the master of_us, glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all the age, and now, and to all the ages.
