< Yuda 1 >
1 Uneji che Yuda jundi jwakutumichila ju Che Yesu Kilisito ni mpwao che Yakobo, ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ummilanjikwe ni Akunnungu ni ŵakunonyelwa ni Akunnungu Atati ni Che Yesu Kilisito ŵakungosa ŵanyamwe.
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 Ngwapopelela Akunnungu kuti chanasa ni chitendewele ni unonyelo ichuluche kukwenu.
May mercy and peace and love be increased in you.
3 Achambusanga ŵangu, panaliji nkulimbichila kunlembela nkati ukulupusyo watuli nawo uwe wose, naiweni yambone kunlembela ni kunlimbisya ntima kwa ligongo lya kuchichenjela chikulupi, Akunnungu chiŵapele ŵandu ŵao kamope kwa katema kose.
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 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵangakwajogopa Akunnungu ŵaŵajinjile kwa chisyepela mu mpingo mwetu. Ŵandu wo atindenye utenga wa umbone wa Akunnungu ŵetu kuti atende chikululu, ni kwakana Che Yesu Kilisito jwaali Chilongola ni Ambuje pe. Nambo Malembelo ga Akunnungu galondwele chitandile kalakala kuti kulamulikwa kukwalolela ŵandu wo.
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 Namose nkuimanyilila yeleyi yose, ngusaka kunkumbusya yatite Ambuje pakwakulupusya Ŵaisilaeli kutyochela ku Misili, kanyuma kakwe ŵaauleje aŵala wose ŵaŵakanile kukulupilila.
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 Ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵanganakwanikwa ni ulamusi wao, ni kupaleka paŵasachilwe kutama, Akunnungu ŵaŵisile mu chipi ni kwataŵa kwa nyolo moŵa gose pangali mbesi kwa ligongo lya kulamulikwa pa lyuŵa lyekulungwa lila. (aïdios )
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 )
7 Iyoyopeyo, ŵandu ŵa ku Sodoma ni ku Gomola ni misi jajiŵandikene nawo ŵalinonyelesye kwa chigwagwa ni kupanganya indu yangaikusachilwa kutendekwa pa chiilu. Alamulikwe kwa kutama pa mooto wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi kuti aŵe chitagu kwa ŵandu ŵane. (aiōnios )
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 )
8 Iyoyo ni yatite kuŵa ŵandu wa, sagamisi syao sikwalongosya kuchisakasya chiilu chao achinsyene, ni kuujalusya ulamusi wa Akunnungu ni kwatukana achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu ŵakwete ukulu kwinani.
In the same way these dreamers make the flesh unclean, having no respect for authorities, and say evil of rulers.
9 Nambo namose Mikaeli katumetume jwankulu jwa kwinani paŵakanilanaga ni Shetani nkati chiilu chi che Musa, nganalinga kwalalatila, nambo ŵatite, “Ambuje ankalipile.”
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 Nambo ŵandu ŵa, akuitukana yaili yose yanganaimanyilila. Kwana indu yakuimanyilila nambo akuitendekanya pangaganisya mpela inyama yaikuti kupanganya pangali lunda, ni yele indu ikwajonanga achinsyene.
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 Ulaje uŵe kukwao, pakuŵa ŵandu wo akuiye litala li che Kaini. Kwa liwamba lya tama ja kukola ipanje agwilenje mu chileŵo chiŵapanganyisye che Balaamu. Pakuŵa ŵatindigenye mpela iŵatindigenye che Kola ni ŵaulajikwe mpela iŵaulajikwe che Kola.
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 Ŵandu ŵa akwika ku chindimba chenu cha chakulya chachikulosya unonyelo, ŵanya ŵa ali ŵakwajogopa pakuŵa kwa wende wao wangalumbana akutaga soni. Ŵanya wo akulandana ni ŵakuchinga ŵakujijikutisya achinsyene pe. Ŵanya wo ali mpela maunde gangali ula gagakujigalikwa ni mbungo. Akulandana ni itela yaipukutiche masamba, yangali isogosi yetupulwe ni kuumula chwa.
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 Ŵandu ŵa ali mpela matumbela gakalipa ga mu bahali, ni ipanganyo yao ya soni ikukopoka nti chiulo. Ŵandu ŵa ali mpela ndondwa syasikwendajenda, syasiŵichikwe pa chipi cha moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn )
Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever. (aiōn )
14 Ni che Enoki, mundu jwa uŵelesi wa saba chitandile che Adamu ŵalondwele nkati ŵandu ŵa, achitiji, “Mpilikane naweni Ambuje achiikaga ni mianda kwa mianda ja achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵakwe ŵaswela,
The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,
15 kukwalamula ŵandu wose ni kukwajamuka wose ŵangakwajogopa Akunnungu, kwa ligongo lya ipanganyo yao yangalumbana iŵapanganyisye, pamo ni maloŵe ga wamba gakuŵecheta ŵandu ŵa sambi, ga kwatukana Akunnungu.”
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 Ŵandu ŵa ali ŵa kusongoneka ni kwaŵecheta ŵandu ŵane, ni akutamanga malinga ni tama syao syangalumbana. Akulifuna ni kwalapa ŵandu ŵane kwa ligongo lya kupoka kwao achinsyene.
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 Nambo ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, ngakumbuchile maloŵe gaŵagasasile kalakala achinduna ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 Ŵansalile mwanya yakuti, “Pa moŵa gambesi, chaachikopochela ŵandu ŵangakwajogopa Akunnungu achitamaga malinga ni tama syao syangalumbana. Ni ŵanyawo chansechanje ŵanyamwe.”
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 Ŵeleŵa ali ŵandu ŵachansapulanye mwanya, ŵandu ŵakusikuya tama syao siŵapagwile nasyo, ŵanganakola Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
These are the men who make divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.
20 Nambo ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, njendelechele kulitaŵa pa nsingi wa chikulupi chenu chachiswela nnope, ni kupopela kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,
21 Ntame mu unonyelo wa Akunnungu nchalolelaga Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito kuti kwa chanasa chakwe ampeleche ku umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios )
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
22 Mwakolele chanasa ŵandu ŵane ŵaali ni lipamba,
And have pity on those who are in doubt;
23 ni ŵandu ŵane mwakulupusye kwakwanyakula kwatyosya pa mooto. Ni ŵane mwakolele chanasa nchililolesyaga, nchimeje tama syao syangalumbana nchichimaga namose iwalo yao yaili ni madoa ga tama syao syangalumbana.
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 Akunnungu akukombola kungosa kuti nkagwa mu sambi, ni kumpeleka mpaka mu ukulu wao kwa lukondwa lwakupunda akuno ndi nganikola chileŵo.
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 Ŵelewo ŵaali Akunnungu ŵamope, Nkulupusyo jwetu, akole ukulu, ni umwenye ni ukombole ni ulamusi kwa litala lya Che Yesu Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu, chitandile kalakala, sambano ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (aiōn )
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 )
