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 brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 du losron mba sisron ni son ndi he niyii.
May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to 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.
Beloved, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I had to write to you to exhort you to struggle earnestly for the faith that was entrusted once for all to the holy people.
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 slipped in secretly among you. These are men who were marked out for condemnation. They are ungodly men who have changed the grace of our God into sensuality, and who deny 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 wish to remind you—although once you fully knew it—that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but that afterward he destroyed those who did not believe.
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)
Also angels who did not keep to their own position of authority, but who left their proper dwelling place—God has kept them in everlasting chains, in utter darkness, for the judgment on 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)
It is just like Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, which also indulged themselves in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desires. They were displayed as examples of those who suffer the punishment in 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 the same way, these dreamers also pollute their bodies. They reject authority, and they say slanderous things against the glorious ones.
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 even Michael the archangel, when he was arguing with the devil and disputing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous judgment against him. Instead he said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”
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 people slander whatever they do not understand, and what they do understand—what unreasoning animals know by instinct—these are what destroy them.
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! For they have walked in the way of Cain and have plunged into Balaam's error for profit. They have perished in Korah's rebellion.
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 the ones who are hidden reefs in your love feasts, when they feast with you shamelessly—shepherds who only feed themselves. They are clouds without rain, carried along by winds. They are autumn trees without fruit—twice dead, torn 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)
They are violent waves in the sea, foaming out their own shame. They are wandering stars, for whom the gloom of thick darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 ahnuhu idiji wu tagban rji Adamu, atre ru tu mba, nda la ya irji ni ye meme bi zizinma dubu dubbai.
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them, saying, “Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and 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.
He is coming to execute judgment on everyone. He is coming to convict all the ungodly of all the works they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh words that 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 grumblers, complainers, who follow their evil desires. They are loud boasters, who, for their own advantage, flatter others.
17 amawu kauritau tauna tre wa me tsi tre niwu kwugon ni marizanni yesu Almasihunmu wa mba laniwu tu ru tse.
But you, beloved, remember the words that were spoken in the past 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.
They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
19 abi wa mba hantu indji mba bi wu gbugbulu mba na he ni ruhuna.
It is these who cause divisions; they are worldly and they do not have the Spirit.
20 Bi Ijii Kaunatu, men tu bi ni keh tsatsare ma, ndi bra ni mi ruhu wu tsatsare.
But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith, and pray 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 God's love, and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings you eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Tsro son ni biwa na kpanyemena.
Be merciful to those who doubt.
23 Mba ri chuwo ni nyu lu. Tsron indji mbari ni tsitsir, kamen ni nglo wa yin kpa mba teimeme.
Save others by snatching them out of the fire. To others be merciful with fear. Hate even the garment stained 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 the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to cause you to stand before his glorious presence without blemish and 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 Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, before all time, now, and forevermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
