Juda 1
1 An Juda ma misumba Yesu Kristo, kendo ma owadgi Jakobo, Andiko ni joma oseluongi, ma Nyasaye Wuoro ohero, kendo ma Yesu Kristo orito:
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 Mad ngʼwono gi kwe kod hera mogundho obed kodu.
May mercy and peace and love be increased in you.
3 Osiepena mageno, kata obedo ni ne aikora ahinya mondo andiknu kuom wach warruok ma wan duto wan-go, naneno ni ber koro andiknu mondo ajiwu uked matek kuom wach yie mane ochiwne jomaler dichiel kendo mogik.
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 Nikech jomoko mane osendik kuomgi chon ni bura oloyo osedonjo e dieru lingʼ-lingʼ. Gin joma kia Nyasaye, maloko ngʼwono mar Nyasachwa dokonegi thuolo mar timo richo, kendo gidagi Ruodhwa achiel kende ma en Yesu Kristo.
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 Kata obedo ni usengʼeyo wechegi duto to pod nyaka aparnu ni Ruoth noreso joge mogologi e piny Misri, to bangʼe achien nokumo joma ne ok oyie.
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 Kata mana malaike mane ok obedo kuondegi mag loch mane omigi, mago mane owuok oweyo keregi mane oketgie, gin bende osekanogi e mudho mandiwa, kotwegi gi nyoroche ma ok chodi nyaka chiengʼ, ka girito kum e odiechiengʼ maduongʼ. (aïdios g126)
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 g126)
7 Kamano bende Sodom gi Gomora, kaachiel gi mier molworogi ne jochiwore ne chode gi anjawo. Gin gibedo kaka ranyisi mar joma ikumo kiwangʼo e mach manyaka chiengʼ. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
8 Mano e kaka jogi bende chalo. Lek ma gileko dwanyo ringregi kendo jogi odagi teko ma Ruoth nigo kendo giwuoyo marach kuom joma nigi duongʼ e polo.
In the same way these dreamers make the flesh unclean, having no respect for authorities, and say evil of rulers.
9 To kata mana Mikael malaika maduongʼ kane gilaro gi Satan ringre Musa, ne ok ohedhore wuoyo kuome marach kohangone wach, to nowachone mana niya, “Ruoth mondo okweri!”
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 Jogi to yanyo gimoro amora ma ok gingʼeyo to gik ma giketore ni gingʼeyo mana kaka le maonge rieko nyalo timo, mago e gik mabiro tiekogi.
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 Ginine malit! Giseluwo tim Kain, kendo gisemwomore e ketho mar Balaam nikech gihero pesa, omiyo osetiekgi kaachiel gi Kora nikech gisengʼanyo kaka Kora nongʼanyo.
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 Jogi gin mbelni e sewni magu mag hera, kendo gichiemo kodu ka wengegi tek, gin jokwath mapidhore kendgi! Gichalo rumbi ma yamo tero to ok kel koth kendo gichalo olemo mopidhi kinde opon bende gichalo gi yien ma ok nyag olemo kendo mopudh gi tiendegi, gionge tich.
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 Jogi onge gi wichkuot mana ka apaka mager mar nam, madhwolo buoyo kendo gibagni mana ka sulwe mabayo, gin joma osekan-negi kum mar mudho mandiwa manyaka chiengʼ. (aiōn g165)
Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Enoka, mane odak e tiengʼ mar abiriyo bangʼ Adam, nokoro wach kuom jogi kowacho niya, “Neuru Ruoth biro gi oganda mangʼongo mar jomaler tara gi gana kuom tara gi gana
The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,
15 mondo oyal ji duto kendo mondo okum joma richo duto kuom timbegi maricho magisetimo e yo ma ok mi Nyasaye duongʼ kendo kuom weche maricho duto ma joricho mochayo Nyasaye oseyanyego.”
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 Jogi gin joma keko akeka kendo gin jomany ketho kuom ji; giluwo dwachgi giwegi maricho, bende giwuoyo gi sunga mathoth kuomgi giwegi. Kendo giwuondo ji gi weche mamit mondo giyud gik magidwaro.
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 To osiepena mageno, paruru gik mane joote mag Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo okoro chon.
But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 Ne giwachonu niya, “E ndalo giko joma jaro ji nobedie ma noluw gombogi giwegi maricho.”
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 Magi e joma kelo pogruok e kindu, kendo gombogi mag ringruok ema chikogi, gionge Roho.
These are the men who make divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.
20 To un, osiepena mageno, gerreuru e yie maru maler, kendo lemuru ka un ei Roho Maler.
But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,
21 Sikuru ei hera Nyasaye ka urito ngʼwono mar Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo mondo okelu e ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
22 Kechuru joma riwo gi kiawa,
And have pity on those who are in doubt;
23 resgiuru ka ugologi e mach mondo ures ngimagi, to moko kuomgi to kechuru kutangʼ kendo kuluor, ka umon kata mana gi lepgi ma gombogi mag richo osechido.
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 Ne en manyalo ritou mondo kik upodhi e richo, kendo manyalo kelou e nyim duongʼne ka uonge ketho kendo ka un gimor maduongʼ
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 mad duongʼ makende, gi loch gi teko, kod nyalo odogne Nyasaye Jawarwa kuom Yesu Kristo Ruodhwa, e tienge duto, sani kendo nyaka chiengʼ! Amin. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
