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.
This letter comes from Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and James' brother. I am writing to those who are called and loved by God the Father, and who are kept safe by Jesus Christ:
2 Ngwapopelela Akunnungu kuti chanasa ni chitendewele ni unonyelo ichuluche kukwenu.
May God's mercy, peace, and love increase in your experience!
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 friends, I was already looking forward to writing to you about the salvation that we share. But now I need to write urgently to you and encourage you to vigorously defend the truth about God, given once and for all time to God's holy people.
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 some people have quietly crept in among you. They were written about and condemned a long time ago, for they are wicked people who pervert God's grace, turning it into a license to immorality, while also denying our Lord and master Jesus Christ.
5 Namose nkuimanyilila yeleyi yose, ngusaka kunkumbusya yatite Ambuje pakwakulupusya Ŵaisilaeli kutyochela ku Misili, kanyuma kakwe ŵaauleje aŵala wose ŵaŵakanile kukulupilila.
Even though you already know this, I want to remind you that though the Lord saved his people out of the land of Egypt, later he still destroyed those who disbelieved.
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 g126)
Even those angels that were not content with their God-given positions but abandoned their rightful places—he has placed them in eternal chains of darkness until the great Day of Judgment. (aïdios g126)
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 g166)
In just the same way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns nearby that pursued immorality and perverted sex are provided as an example of those that experience the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
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.
Likewise these dreamers pollute their bodies, disregard authority, and insult heavenly beings.
9 Nambo namose Mikaeli katumetume jwankulu jwa kwinani paŵakanilanaga ni Shetani nkati chiilu chi che Musa, nganalinga kwalalatila, nambo ŵatite, “Ambuje ankalipile.”
Even the archangel Michael, when he was arguing with the devil over Moses' body, didn't dare to condemn him with a slanderous insult, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you.”
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 people ridicule whatever they don't understand; and what they do understand they instinctively follow like unthinking animals—this is what destroys them.
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.
They're in terrible trouble! For they have followed Cain's way. Like Balaam and his delusion, they have abandoned themselves to the profit motive. Like Korah and his rebellion, they have destroyed themselves.
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 people spoil your fellowship meals, for they are selfish shepherds that don't have the slightest sense of shame—they only take care of themselves. They're clouds blown along by the wind that bring no rain. They're bare trees without fruit—twice dead, pulled out 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 g165)
They're violent ocean waves, foaming in their own disgrace. They're false stars, doomed forever to utter darkness. (aiōn g165)
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,
Enoch, seven generations on from Adam, spoke prophetically about these people: “Look! The Lord is coming, together with thousands and thousands of his holy ones
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 judge everyone, to reveal all the wicked things people have done, and all the terrible things hostile sinners 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.
Such people are grumblers, always complaining. They follow their own evil desires, speaking boastfully about themselves, and flattering others to get what they want.
17 Nambo ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, ngakumbuchile maloŵe gaŵagasasile kalakala achinduna ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
But you, my dear friends, please remember what you were told 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.”
They explained to you that in the last times mockers would come, following their own wicked desires.
19 Ŵeleŵa ali ŵandu ŵachansapulanye mwanya, ŵandu ŵakusikuya tama syao siŵapagwile nasyo, ŵanganakola Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
They cause divisions; they are worldly people who don't have 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 friends, are to build yourselves up through your trust in God. Pray 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 g166)
keep yourselves safe in God's love, and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ who brings eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mwakolele chanasa ŵandu ŵane ŵaali ni lipamba,
Show kindness to those who 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.
Save those you can by snatching them out of the fire. Show mercy—but with great care, hating even the “clothing” that is contaminated by sinful human nature.
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 can keep you from falling, and who can bring you into his glorious presence without fault, and 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 g165)
to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time, now, and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
