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.
Judas, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 du losron mba sisron ni son ndi he niyii.
Mercy unto 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, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto 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 there are certain men crept in privily, [even] they who were of old set forth unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, 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.
Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, how that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
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 which kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto 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)
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication, and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering 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.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at 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 contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, 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 rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.
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 unto them! for they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of 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 are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked 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)
Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved 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.
And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
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 upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, 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 speaketh great swelling [words]), shewing respect of persons for the sake of advantage.
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 ye the words which have been 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.
how that they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.
19 abi wa mba hantu indji mba bi wu gbugbulu mba na he ni ruhuna.
These are they who make separations, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 Bi Ijii Kaunatu, men tu bi ni keh tsatsare ma, ndi bra ni mi ruhu wu tsatsare.
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves 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, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Tsro son ni biwa na kpanyemena.
And on some have mercy, 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 some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; 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.
Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding 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, [be] glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
