We have Enoch. (It reappeared after the Reformation, meaning that the Reformers had no access to it.) The quote in Jude is found precisely in Enoch. I don't think that much is debated. There are a number of translations of the whole thing in English online, including the parts belonging to other books, for examination and criticism. It seems the debate on Jude 14 turns around whether "prophesied" is a formula on a par with "it is written."
