< 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 slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for Jesus Christ, and called.
2 Ngwapopelela Akunnungu kuti chanasa ni chitendewele ni unonyelo ichuluche kukwenu.
May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to 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.
Beloved, although I was making all haste to write to you in regard to our common salvation, I am compelled to write you an appeal to defend the faith once for all committed to the saints.
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 crept in stealthily - men predestined in ancient prophecies for this condemnation - impious ones! They pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness, and deny Jesus Christ, our sole Master and Lord.
5 Namose nkuimanyilila yeleyi yose, ngusaka kunkumbusya yatite Ambuje pakwakulupusya Ŵaisilaeli kutyochela ku Misili, kanyuma kakwe ŵaauleje aŵala wose ŵaŵakanile kukulupilila.
I wish to remind you of what you already know right well, that although the Lord once saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he afterward destroyed those who did not believe;
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 )
while the angels who did not keep their first domain but left their proper abode, are held by him in blank darkness, in everlasting chains, in preparation for the judgment of the Great Day. (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 )
So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the near-by cities which in like manner glutted themselves in sensuality and unnatural vice, are exhibited as a warning of the eternal fire, in the punishment they undergo. (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.
Yet in just the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, while they set at naught dominion and scoff at dignities.
9 Nambo namose Mikaeli katumetume jwankulu jwa kwinani paŵakanilanaga ni Shetani nkati chiilu chi che Musa, nganalinga kwalalatila, nambo ŵatite, “Ambuje ankalipile.”
But Michael, the Archangel, when in contending with the devil, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce sentence for blasphemy, but said, "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.
Yet these men blaspheme about matters of which they know nothing, while they use such things as they do understand by instinct (like the animals who have no reason) for their own 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.
Alas for them! They have walked in the path of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into Balaam’s error, and have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
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 are they who are stains upon your love-feasts; when they feast sumptuously without scruple, looking after none but themselves. They are clouds without water, driven along by the winds; trees of autumn, fruitless, doubly dead, torn 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 )
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. (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,
It was to these, too, that Enoch, the "seventh in descent from Adam," prophesied, saying, "Lo! the Lord is come with myriads 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 execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed; and of all the hard things which they have spoken against Him, ungodly sinners that they are!"
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.
For these are murmurers, always complaining. They always go where their passions lead, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, while they pay court to men for the sake of the advantage they can get.
17 Nambo ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, ngakumbuchile maloŵe gaŵagasasile kalakala achinduna ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
But as for you, dearly beloved, remember the words spoken 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 used to say to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will be led only by their godless passions."
19 Ŵeleŵa ali ŵandu ŵachansapulanye mwanya, ŵandu ŵakusikuya tama syao siŵapagwile nasyo, ŵanganakola Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
These are the men, sensual and unspiritual, who cause divisions.
20 Nambo ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, njendelechele kulitaŵa pa nsingi wa chikulupi chenu chachiswela nnope, ni kupopela kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
But you, beloved, continually building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and ever praying 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 )
must keep yourselves in the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ends in life eternal. (aiōnios )
22 Mwakolele chanasa ŵandu ŵane ŵaali ni lipamba,
Pity some who are wavering, and save by dragging them out of the fire;
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.
others pity, but with caution, hating even the garment spotted 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 unto Him who has power to guard you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, faultless and exultant,
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, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before time began, is now, and ever shall be to all the ages. Amen. (aiōn )
