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, bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called ones beloved in God [the] Father and preserved in Jesus Christ:
2 du losron mba sisron ni son ndi he niyii.
Mercy to you, and peace, and love be multiplied.
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.
Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
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 got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly [persons], turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying 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.
But I would put you in remembrance, you who once knew all things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of [the] land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed those who had not believed.
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 angels who had not kept their own original state, but had abandoned their own dwelling, he keeps in eternal chains under gloomy darkness, to [the] judgment of [the] great day; (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)
as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them, committing greedily fornication, in like manner with them, and going after other flesh, lie there as an example, undergoing the judgment 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.
Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile [the] flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities.
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.
But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil he reasoned about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a railing judgment against [him], but said, [The] Lord rebuke thee.
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, whatever things they know not, they speak railingly against; but what even, as the irrational animals, they understand by mere nature, in these things they corrupt themselves.
11 iyaki biwu mba wukon kayinu mba yotun mba ni te meme batamu ndu wa gbu gpiri. mba wutuma ni ufu iri mba kora.
Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain, and given themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
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 are spots in your love-feasts, feasting together [with you] without fear, pasturing themselves; clouds without water, carried along by [the] winds; autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;
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)
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity. (aiōn g165)
14 ahnuhu idiji wu tagban rji Adamu, atre ru tu mba, nda la ya irji ni ye meme bi zizinma dubu dubbai.
And Enoch, [the] seventh from Adam, prophesied also as to these, saying, Behold, [the] Lord has come amidst his holy myriads,
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 execute judgment against all; and to convict all the ungodly of them of all their works of ungodliness, which they have wrought ungodlily, and of all the hard [things] which ungodly sinners have spoken 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 murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of profit.
17 amawu kauritau tauna tre wa me tsi tre niwu kwugon ni marizanni yesu Almasihunmu wa mba laniwu tu ru tse.
But ye, beloved, remember the words spoken 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.
that they said to you, that at [the] end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses.
19 abi wa mba hantu indji mba bi wu gbugbulu mba na he ni ruhuna.
These are they who set [themselves] apart, 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 ye, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying 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, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Tsro son ni biwa na kpanyemena.
And of some have compassion, making a difference,
23 Mba ri chuwo ni nyu lu. Tsron indji mbari ni tsitsir, kamen ni nglo wa yin kpa mba teimeme.
but others save with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted 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.
But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,
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, [be] glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
