Jude 1
1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ:
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Juda motlhanka wa ga Jesu Keresete mogoloa Jakobe. Go: Bakeresete gongwe le gongwe, barategi ba ba tlhophilweng ke One.
2 Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
A kutlwelo botlhoko ya Modimo, lorato le kagiso di lo oketsegele.
3 Beloved, although I made every effort to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt it necessary to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all to the saints.
Ditsala tse di rategang, ke ne ke ikaeletse go lo kwalela ka megopolo mengwe mabapi le poloko e Modimo o e re neileng, mme jaanong ke bona gore mo boemong jwa moo ke tshwanetse go lo kwalela ka sengwe se sele, ke lopa gore lo femele ka tlhoafalo boammaaruri jo Modimo o bo neileng batho ba One gangwe fela mo dingwageng tsotlhe ba sa fetoge.
4 For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Mme ke bua ka ntlha ya gore Baruti bangwe ba ba senang bo-Modimo ba setse ba itshukunyeditse mo gare ga lona, ba re, fa re sena go nna Bakeresete re ka itirela go rata re sa boife kwatlhao ya Modimo. Tshenyego ya batho ba ba ntseng jalo e kwadilwe bogologolo gonne ba furaletse Mmusi yo e leng ene fela ka nosi Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
5 Although you are fully aware of this, I want to remind you that after Jesus had delivered His people out of the land of Egypt, He destroyed those who did not believe.
Mme karabo ya me mo go bone ke e: gakologelwang boammaaruri jo, jo lo setseng lo bo itse, gore Jehofa o bolokile chaba yotlhe go tswa mo lefatsheng la Egepeto, mme a nyeletsa botlhe ba ba neng ba sa mo ikanye le go mo reetsa.
6 And the angels who did not stay within their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling—these He has kept in eternal chains under darkness, bound for judgment on that great day. (aïdios g126)
Mme ke lo gakolola ka Baengele ba ba kileng ba bo ba le boitshepo, mme ba boela mo sebeng. Jaanong Modimo o ba golegetse mo kgolegelong ya lefifi ba letetse letsatsi la katlholo. (aïdios g126)
7 In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Gakologelwang ka metse ya Sodoma le Gomora le metse e e neng e bapile nayo, yotlhe e ne e tletse mefutafuta ya dibe, le banna ba ba leswe ba ba eletsang banna ba bangwe. Metse eo e ne ya nyelediwa ka molelo go nna tlhagiso mo go rona gore re itse gore go na le dihele kwa baleofi ba yang go otlhaiwang teng. (aiōnios g166)
8 Yet in the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings.
Mme le fa go ntse jalo, baruti ba, ba tsietso, ba ntse ba tsweletse go tshela botshelo jwa bone jo bo leswe jwa boleo, ba tlontlolola mebele ya bone ebile ba nyatsa le e leng bone babusi ba bone, gape ba kgala le bagalaledi.
9 But even the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not presume to bring a slanderous charge against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
Le ene Mikaele, mongwe wa Baengele ba bagolo thata ka nako ya fa ba tatalalana le Satane ka setopo sa ga Moshe, gaa a ka a leka go pega Satane molato; le fa e le go mo gobolola, fela a mo raya a re, “A Morena a go kgalemele.”
10 These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.
Mme batho ba, ba kgala ba bile ba sotla sengwe le sengwe se ba sa se tlhaloganyeng, ba tshwana le diphologolo, ba dira sengwe le sengwe se ba se ratang, jalo he, ba senye mewa ya bone.
11 Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
A bo go latlhega bone, gonne ba latela sekao sa ga Kaene yo o neng a bolaya monnawe, fela jaaka Balaame, ba tlaa dira le fa e le eng ka ntlha ya go rata madi, le jaaka Kora, ga ba a ka ba reetsa Modimo, mme ba tlaa swela mo phutsong ya One.
12 These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.
Mme fa banna ba ba ikopanya le lona mo meketeng ya lorato ya phuthego ke dilabe tse di maswe mo gare ga lona, ba a tshega ba tsweletse pele, ba bohula ba ikatela dijo ba sa akanyetse ba bangwe ba tshwana le maru a a kgokgoediwang ke phefo mo lefatsheng je le omeletseng a sena pula, ba solofetsa go le gontsi mme go se na sepe. Ba tshwana le ditlhare tsa maungo tse di senang sepe ka nako ya thobo, ga ba a swa fela, ba sule mo go menaganyeng, gonne ba epolotswe gotlhe ka medi go fisiwa.
13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
Mo go salang sefularong sa bone ke matlhabisa ditlhong le maswabi jaaka mahulo a a leswe a a tlogetsweng ke diphefo tsa makhubu a metsi a molapo mo lotshitshing, ba kaila gongwe le gongwe ba lebega ba phatsima jaaka dinaledi. Mme kwa pele ga bonwa go na le lefifi le le ntsho la bosakhutleng le ba le baakanyeditsweng ke Modimo. (aiōn g165)
14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones
Enoke wa bogologolo yo o neng a tshela morago ga ga Adamo, o ne a itse kaga batho ba, a bo a bua ka bone a re: “Bonang, Morena o e tla le didikadike tsa baitshepi ba gagwe.
15 to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”
O tlaa lere batho botlhe ba lefatshe fa pele ga gagwe mo katlholong, go amogela kwatlhao e e ba tshwanetseng, gore e nne bosupi jwa ditiro tse di boitshegang tse ba di dirileng ka go tsuolola Modimo, o tlaa senola gotlhe mo ba go buileng kaga gagwe.”
16 These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
Batho ba ke bangongoregi ba metlha yotlhe, ga ba ke ba thethebala dipelo, ba dira bosula bongwe le bongwe jo ba bo eletsang, ba boikgantsho ba goletse ganong ke “baipegi” ba rata go itshupa. Mme fa ba tlotla ba bangwe, ba direla fela gore le bone ba tle ba ba thuse.
17 But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
Ditsala tse di rategang, gakologelwang se baaposetoloi ba Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete ba se lo boleletseng,
18 when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
gore mo metlheng ya bofelo go tlaa tla basotli ba, ba maikaelelo a bone a botshelo e leng go itumela ka bosula bongwe le bongwe jo ba bo akanyang.
19 These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
Mme ba tsosa dikganetsanyo; ba rata dilo tse di bosula tsa lefatshe, ga ba na Mowa O O Boitshepo mo go bone.
20 But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
Mme lona, ditsala tse di rategang, lo tshwanetse go aga matshelo a lona ka tlhomamo gape a nitame mo mothaong wa tumelo ya rona e e boitshepo, lo ithuta go rapela ka nonofo le ka tlhotlheletso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo.
21 keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Lo nne mo kagelelong ya lorato lwa Modimo gore o kgone go lo segofatsa. Lo letele ka pelotelele botshelo jo bosakhutleng jo Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete o tlaa lo bo nayang ka kutlwelo botlhoko ya gagwe. (aiōnios g166)
22 And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt;
Mme lekang go thusa ba ba ganetsanyang le lona. Lo nne kutlwelo botlhoko mo go ba ba belaelang.
23 save others by snatching them from the fire; and to still others show mercy tempered with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
Bolokang bangwe jaaka ekete lo ba swatola mo molelong wa dihele. Mme ba bangwe bone, ba thuseng gore ba itse Morena mme lo ntse lo itlhokometse e se re kgotsa ba lo gogela mo dibeng tsa bone. Lo ile makgapha otlhe a maikepo a bone lo ntse lo le kutlwelo botlhoko nabo jaaka baleofi.
24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy—
Mme jaanong, a kgalalelo yotlhe e nne go One Modimo o o nosi, o o re bolokang ka Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona; Ee, borena le puso, le thata yotlhe le taolo ke tsa gagwe go tswa tshimologong: Gotlhe ke ga gagwe, gape e tlaa nna ga gagwe ka metlha le ka metlha. Mme gape o nonofile go lo tshegetsa gore lo se ka lwa relela lwa wa, le go lo tlisa lo sena selabe sa boleo, lo itekanetse mo kgalalelong ya gagwe, ka meduduetso e megolo ya boitumelo jo bo sa feleng. Ke nna, Juda. (aiōn g165)
