Jude 1
1 yabuza vrenko yesu Kristi vayi Yakubu: hi ni wa ba yoba bi son u irji iti nibu wa ba baunzi ni kristi.
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to those of God's selection who have been made holy by God the Father and are kept safe for Jesus Christ:
2 du losron mba sisron ni son ndi he niyii.
May mercy and peace and love be increased in you.
3 bi son mi si hainiyu ndi ha mi wu ni tu kpa wawu bin, abi ndi mi ngron yi nitre kpa yesu wa mba nu yii bi wu rji.
My loved ones, while my thoughts were full of a letter which I was going to send you about our common salvation, it was necessary for me to send you one requesting you with all my heart to go on fighting strongly for the faith which has been given to the saints once and for ever.
4 indji mbd ri mba rin ni riyabi wa mba ra nitu bla mba tun tse mu indji wa mbo to te ndidina, mba bri ziziwu rji rida kgba hi ni meme. mba ma kpa myerne mi kon rji mbu yesu Almasihu.
For certain men have come among you secretly, marked out before in the holy Writings for this evil fate, men without the fear of God, turning his grace into an unclean thing, and false to our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 mi si son la ni wu, bi to igzi wami sison la niwu ye; lrji kpa indji mba ri chuwo ni meme masar; ni kwugon a wu mba bi, bi wa mba kpan myemen niwu ria.
Now it is my purpose to put you in mind, though you once had knowledge of all these things, of how the Lord, having taken a people safely out of Egypt, later sent destruction on those who had no faith;
6 malaiku wa mba na gji mbu mbu ndima wu mba na, mba bri mbu mbu son ndima. irji lumba ni saraka hra ise ni se, ni mi shigji biu be nifi wu mbla. (aïdios g126)
And the angels who did not keep to their kingdom but went out from the place which was theirs, he has put in eternal chains and in dark night till the great day of the judging. (aïdios g126)
7 mba he na sadurna ni gwarnrata ni gbugbulu wa mba whir whire ni mba, bewa mba turma iyo ni te meme rida wu iypi wa kpan ni wan. mba hena na bi wa mba shaya ne mi lu wama nwena. (aiōnios g166)
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the towns near them, having like these, given themselves up to unclean desires and gone after strange flesh, have been made an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 anakyii bi hira ramba mba kpan mba te meme mba kpa be chu ni tdri nda ni la meme tre nitu bi te ndidi.
In the same way these dreamers make the flesh unclean, having no respect for authorities, and say evil of rulers.
9 makailu kyke malaika nitu a si gbi sroun ni iblis nitu kgbu misa ana nyamba shistri rida zre meme tre ritu blama na. nitu wayii, rji nitu ma ndi jatun ine.
Now when Michael, one of the chief angels, was fighting against the Evil One for the body of Moses, fearing to make use of violent words against him, he only said, May the Lord be your judge.
10 indji bi liyi si mbata niwu nitu iypi mbanato na. indji bi yii inba he ni limre ngnama rju mba gji ukwu si yae ni gba mba.
But these men say evil about such things as they have no knowledge of; and the things of which they have natural knowledge, like beasts without reason, are the cause of their destruction.
11 iyaki biwu mba wukon kayinu mba yotun mba ni te meme batamu ndu wa gbu gpiri. mba wutuma ni ufu iri mba kora.
A curse on them! They have gone in the way of Cain, running uncontrolled into the error of Balaam for reward, and have come to destruction by saying evil against the Lord, like Korah.
12 indi bi iyii mba meme indji nimiri biri isonbi wanmbari ni yi mbak wussa, bi gru wa ri nitu mba, mba npan wa agji uumba ngugun ye na. mba kwugron wa mba gji nkolo ma yena.
These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,
13 mba bi kwu, ribibuju mba tu mba rji ni jan ma. mba nei bi tsra mba vfu vo nifu ni shan mba. mba he na tstsi wa mba tsre brakaueme ni mi shigji bwu hi ni se gbuwu. (aiōn g165)
Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 ahnuhu idiji wu tagban rji Adamu, atre ru tu mba, nda la ya irji ni ye meme bi zizinma dubu dubbai.
The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,
15 asiye wa ari blaatre konni indji asiye wa ni bla yre indji bi te meme, indun mba wa atre ni tu kon na. wa mba te ni kon meme ma; ni la bi meme ni bi latre wa mba tre ni tuma.
To be the judge of all, and to give a decision against all those whose lives are unpleasing to him, because of the evil acts which they have done, and because of all the hard things which sinners without fear of God have said against him.
16 biyii bi tre che, bi tre gbrugbo wamba wu meme te mba mba ni bru ni ni sandon tu mba mba trece nitie.
These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.
17 amawu kauritau tauna tre wa me tsi tre niwu kwugon ni marizanni yesu Almasihunmu wa mba laniwu tu ru tse.
But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 mba laruwu ni tun kykle indji bi che mba he mba wu kon mba wu meme.
How they said to you, In the last days there will be men who, guided by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things.
19 abi wa mba hantu indji mba bi wu gbugbulu mba na he ni ruhuna.
These are the men who make divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.
20 Bi Ijii Kaunatu, men tu bi ni keh tsatsare ma, ndi bra ni mi ruhu wu tsatsare.
But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,
21 Gji kpan bi ni son Rji, ndi nta gpi losron inji mbu Yesu Almasihu wa ni nuta re wu ise ni se. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
22 Tsro son ni biwa na kpanyemena.
And have pity on those who are in doubt;
23 Mba ri chuwo ni nyu lu. Tsron indji mbari ni tsitsir, kamen ni nglo wa yin kpa mba teimeme.
And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.
24 Wa ahe ni gpengble wa asi ndi na kgbu zam na, wa ni zo wa kri ni shishi ni kpa'n ndidi'ma ni sroun ndindi'ma.
Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to give you a place in his glory, free from all evil, with great joy,
25 Irji mbu ni wa kpata juwo ni wo Yesu Kristi Irji mbu, ndindima, ngpengblema, ni he ma, ikon ma, ni fin wawu, zizan ni se ni se ahema. (Amen). (aiōn g165)
To the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, let us give glory and honour and authority and power, before all time and now and for ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)
