< 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:
Juda, muhikana wa Jesu Chrisite, ni mwanche wa Jakobo, kwabo bansumpitwe, Basakiwa kwa Ireeza Fumwetu, mi babikilwe Jesu Chrisite:
2 May God's mercy, peace, and love increase in your experience!
Mi chisemo ni nkozo, lato zibe zingi kwenu.
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.
Yosakiwa, niba kutabele kuku ñolela choku hazwa kutu kopanelwe, Ni swanela kuku ño kukolisa kwa ko kunyanda choku tundamena kulyila i ntumelo iba kenzi kuba lumeli bose. Bamwi bakwame bali kopenye mukati kenu.
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.
Aba bakwame ba swaitwe kuya kuku nyaziwa. Aba bakwame basena Ireeza basinya chisemo cha Ireeza mubukata, mi bakana Muyendisi ni Simwine, Chrisite Jesu.
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.
Hanu nimi lakaleza-niha kuba bulyo maba kuzizi hande-linu Simwine aba hazi batu mwi nkanda ya Egepita, mi kuma mani mani aba shinyi abo nsena baba kuzumina.
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 )
Ni mañiloi sena aba liwongozi mubunduna bwa mata awo, kono aba siiyi chibaka china hande chawo-Ireeza wa sumine ni mawenge akuya kusamani, mwi fifi luli, kulindila izuba lye nkatulo inkando. (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 )
Kuswana feela sina nji Sodoma ni Gomorrah ni mileneñi iva zimbulukite, Awo alikopene mumu hupulo obushahi nikuzwila habusu nimi hupulo ye chivi. Batondeza mutala wavo vanyanda ikoto yamulilo we kuya kusamani. (aiōnios )
8 Likewise these dreamers pollute their bodies, disregard authority, and insult heavenly beings.
Ili mwinzila iswana, ava mwakulota kwavo va silafaza mibili ya bo. Ba lyisa mata, mi bawamba zintu zamapa zilwisa mubuso we nkanya.
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.”
Linu Mikaele induna ya mañiloi, haba ku kanana ni Diabulosi zomu bili wa mushe chamu kalimela, sazi uliki kuleta ikatulo ya mapa ku amana naye. Kono chowamba, “Linu Simwine aku kalimele!”
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.
Linu aba bantu bawamba mapa kuzintu sonse zibasa zuwisisi. Niziba zuwisisa-chinzi zinyolozi zisa hupuli hande chezizi-izi njizona zi baba sinyi.
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.
Bumai kubali! Linu baba yendi mwinzila ya Kaine, hape baba bikwa mwa Balaam ma fosisa kuwana. Baba fwili mwa kora musandukili.
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.
Aba chibona balipatite beyalila mu mikiti yenu ye lato. Linu mukiti iswabisisa, balilela abo bene. Linu makope asena mezi, ahindiwa luhuho. Linu zikuni zamaliha zisena zichalantu-zifwile tobele, zi zwile kumihisi.
13 They're violent ocean waves, foaming in their own disgrace. They're false stars, doomed forever to utter darkness. (aiōn )
Vaswana ili mandinda omwi wate akalihite, apanga ziswabisisa awo ene. Inkani zilyangene, linu kusiha kwe fifi kuba kubikilwe kuya kule. (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
Enoke, yokwana iyanza limwina kuzwilila kwa Adama, baba polofitwa ku amana nabo, Kuwamba, “Lole! Simwine ukeza ni zikiti kiti zabakwe zijolola.
15 to judge everyone, to reveal all the wicked things people have done, and all the terrible things hostile sinners have said against him.”
Ukeza kukuntenda inkatulo kuzumwi ni zumwi. Ukeza kuku kalimela bantu bose basena Ireeza chamisebezi yose iba bapangi mwinzila isali ya Ireeza, nimazwi ose mabi ababa wambi bantu bavi basena Ireeza ku amana naye.”
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.
Aba jiba kanana, batongoka, bechilila mihupulo yabo mibi. Bakuhuweleza chakuli tundubula, abo, balumba bantu kuti bawane, zibasaka.
17 But you, my dear friends, please remember what you were told by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kono inwe, yosakwa, muhupule manzi aba wambiwa kale cha muapositola wa Simwine Chirisite Jesu watu.
18 They explained to you that in the last times mockers would come, following their own wicked desires.
Baba wambi kwako, “Mwinako zama mani mani mukube niba nyefuli be chilila intakazo zabo zisena Ireeza.”
19 They cause divisions; they are worldly people who don't have the Spirit.
bantu kabena luhuho. Abo be fasi, mi kabena luhuho.
20 But you, my friends, are to build yourselves up through your trust in God. Pray in the Holy Spirit,
Kono inwe, yosakwa, mulizake inwe mubene che ntumelo i jolola, mi mulapele cho luhuho lujolola.
21 keep yourselves safe in God's love, and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ who brings eternal life. (aiōnios )
Mulibike mwi lato lya Ireeza, nikulindila i lato la Simwine Chrisite Jesu iku letela buhalo busamani. (aiōnios )
22 Show kindness to those who doubt.
Chisemo cheve kwabo basa zumini.
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.
Muhaze bamwi kakuba zwisa mu mulilo. Mutoye nihaiba chizwato che nyama.
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,
Linu kwali yenki yo wola kuti tusa kuku sawa, mi niku tuwolisa kuzimana habusu ye nkanya yakwe, nikusena kunyazahala nimwi ntabo,
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 )
Kwa Ireeza yenke ni muhazi kuya ka Chrisite Jesu Simwine wetu, kube ni kanya, bulena, kubusa, ni mata, inako yose yamamani mani, linu, ni kuya kuma mani mani. Amen. (aiōn )
