< Jude 1 >
1 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:
Yuda omukosi wa Yesu Kristo, omumula wabho Yakobo, kubhanu bhabhilikiwe, bhanu abendwa na Lata Nyamuanga, bhanu bhabhikilwe kulwokwenda kwa Yesu Kristo.
2 May God's mercy, peace, and love increase in your experience!
Mwongesibhwe echisa no omulembe ne elyenda.
3 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.
Emwe abhendwa, ao naliga ninikomesha kwa amanaga okubhandilika ingulu yo omwelulo gweswe bhona, yabhee bhusi bhusi kwanye nibhandikile kwo okubhasombolela ati mwisigombele elikilisha linu bhayabhilwe abhekilisha lugendo lumwi lwenyele.
4 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.
Kulwokubha abhanu bhandi kwa imbisike bheingisishe agati yemwe, abhanu abho bhatelehyeko olunyamo lwa indamu, ni bhanu bhanu bhatakulamya abhaindula echigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe nibhakola bhujabhi, nibhamulema Omukama weswe wechimali Yesu Kristo.
5 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.
Mbe olyanu enenda okubhechusya ka lugendo ona mwaliga nimumenya chimwi chimwi ati Omukama achunguye abhanu okusoka muchalo cha Misiri, nawe namala nasingalicha bhanu bhatekilisishe.
6 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 )
Na bhamalaika bhanu bhatalindile obhukama bhwebhwe nawe nibhasiga obhwikalo bhwebhwe Nyamuanga nabhabhoya jingulwema akajanende, mumwilima, koleleki bhalamulwe ku lunaku luliya olukulu. (aïdios )
7 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 )
Lwa kutyo Sodoma na Gomora ne ebhikale bhinu bhyaliga bhijongele emisi ejo, ona nijingila mubhusiani nibhalubhilisha inamba inu itali yo obhusimuka. Mbe jinu jabhabhwene jaliga jili bhijejekanyo bhya bhanu abhanyaka mundamu yo omulilo gwa akajanende. (aiōnios )
8 Likewise these dreamers pollute their bodies, disregard authority, and insult heavenly beings.
Nyabhuliko, munjila eyo eyo abhalota echiloto, bhanu ona abhakotya emibhili jebhwe, na abhalema obhuinga, na abhaloma olulimi ingulu yo Omunu wa likushyo.
9 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.”
Nawe nolwo malaika omukulu Mikaeli, ao aliga nayambana na shetani nokubhusyanya nage ingulu yo omubhili gwa Musa, atalegejishe okusosha indamu yolulimi ingulu yaye, mbe nawe asigilejo jona naika ati, “Nyamuanga akugonye!”
10 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.
Nawe abhanu bhanu abhaleta olulimi ingulu ya chonachona chinu bhatakumenya. Nachinu bhatakumenya, chinu jintyanyi jinu jitali na bhwenge ejichimenya okulubhana na obhusimuka bhwajo. Mbe amagambo nkago nigo agabhanyamula.
11 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.
Jilibhabhona! Kulwokubha bhatulile munjila ya Kaini, nokulubhilisha echikayo cha Balaamu. Bhasingalikiye mukwigana kwa Kora.
12 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.
Mbe abhanu bhanu nimatale mumalya gemwe age elyenda, nibhanyenyega bhila nswalo, nibhelishala abhene. Nimele ganu gatali na ng'ubha, ganu gagegelwe no omuyaga, ni mati ganu gaungulusishe gatali na amatwasho ganu gafuye kwiya kabhili, ganu gakulile gakulile emisi.
13 They're violent ocean waves, foaming in their own disgrace. They're false stars, doomed forever to utter darkness. (aiōn )
Ni makonjo aga inyanja gali na iyogele na agasosha jinswalo genyele, ni njota jinu ejigosola gosola jibhikiwe obhwilafulu bhwo omwilima akajanende. (aiōn )
14 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
Enoko, omunu wamusanju mulubhala lwa Adamu, alagile ingulu yebhwe, naika ati, “Lola! Omukama kaja ne bhiumbi kwe bhiumbi ebhya abhalengelesi bhae,
15 to judge everyone, to reveal all the wicked things people have done, and all the terrible things hostile sinners have said against him.”
koleleki bhakole indamu ingulu ya bhuli munu, nokubhata muntambala bhanu bhatamulamya Nyamuanga ingulu ye bhikolwa bhyebhwe bhyona bhinu bhalakolele bhinu bhitali bhya bhulengelesi, na kulwamagambo gona agobhululu kuganu bhalomaga gatali ga bhulengelesi ingulu yae.”
16 Such people are grumblers, always complaining. They follow their own evil desires, speaking boastfully about themselves, and flattering others to get what they want.
Bhanu nibhaliya bhafwaga omwoyo, bhanu bhatekilishanyaga bhanu bhalubhaga obhuligisi bhwebhwe bhwo bhujabhi, bhanu bhekuyaga muno, abho kwo lubhala lwebhwe abhajigaga abhandi.
17 But you, my dear friends, please remember what you were told by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nawe emwe, bhendwa, Mwijuke emisango jinu jaikilwe na Jintumwa no Omukama Yesu Kristo.
18 They explained to you that in the last times mockers would come, following their own wicked desires.
Bhabhabhwiliye ati, “Mukatungu ka jinsiku jokumalisha bhalibhayo abhanu bhaligayo, bhanu bhalilubhilishaga inamba jinu jitali jo okulamya Nyamuanga.”
19 They cause divisions; they are worldly people who don't have the Spirit.
Abhanu abho abhataganyisha, abhatangasibhwa na inamba ejobhusimuka, nanbhatali na Mwoyo Mweru.
20 But you, my friends, are to build yourselves up through your trust in God. Pray in the Holy Spirit,
Nawe emwe, bhendwa, lwakutyo omumbaka mulikilisha lyemwe elyeru muno, na lwakutyo omusabhwa Mubhweru Bwe echinyamwoyo,
21 keep yourselves safe in God's love, and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ who brings eternal life. (aiōnios )
muchulele mulyenda lya Nyamuanga, mutegelee echisa cho Omukama weswe Yesu Kristo chinu echibhayana obhukama bhwa akajanende. Mbe nimwoleshe echisa kubhanu (aiōnios )
22 Show kindness to those who doubt.
bhali ne echitimato.
23 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.
Abhandi nimubhachungule kwo kubhachungula mumulio. Ku bhandi mweleshe echisa na obhubha, ni mubhiilililwa nolwo omwenda gunu kutehyeko lidoa no omubhili gundi
24 Now to him who can keep you from falling, and who can bring you into his glorious presence without fault, and with great joy,
Mbe olyanu ku unu katula okubhalinda mwasiga okwikujula, na unu katula okubhemelengushu imbele ya likusho lyaye, obhutabhona nkofu nawe mulu na likondelwa enene,
25 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 )
Ku Nyamuanga omwerusi enyele, Kristo Omukama weswe, likusho libhe kumwene, obhukulu, obhutulo na amanaga gachaliga okubhao amaimbo gona, olyani nolwo nakajanende. (aiōn )
