Jude 1
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, [and] called:
Nye, Yuda, Yesu Kristo ƒe dɔla kple Yakobo nɔviŋutsu gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na ame siwo woyɔ, ame siwo Mawu Fofo la lɔ̃, eye wòlé wo ɖe te le Yesu Kristo me:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Amenuveve, ŋutifafa kple lɔlɔ̃ nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ me.
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, togbɔ be metsi dzi vevie be maŋlɔ agbalẽ na mi tso ɖeɖe si ƒe gomekpɔlawo míenye la ŋuti hã la, edze ŋunye be maŋlɔe na mi, ado ŋusẽ mi be miaʋli xɔse si wotsɔ de asi na ame kɔkɔeawo zi ɖeka hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã la ta.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mele esia gblɔm, elabena ame aɖewo, ame siwo ƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ woŋlɔ da ɖi tso blema ke la va tra wo ɖokuiwo ɖe mia dome dzaa. Wonye mawumavɔ̃la, siwo trɔ míaƒe Mawu la ƒe amenuveve wòzu mɔɖeɖe na ŋunyɔnuwo wɔwɔ, eye wogbe nu le Yesu Kristo, míaƒe dziɖula ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ kple Aƒetɔ la gbɔ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Togbɔ be mienya esiawo katã xoxo hã la, medi be maɖo ŋku edzi na mi be Aƒetɔ la ɖe eƒe dukɔ tso Egiptenyigba dzi, gake emegbe la, etsrɔ̃ ame siwo mexɔ edzi se o.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
Ke mawudɔla siwo melé woƒe bubuteƒe me ɖe asi o, ke boŋ wogblẽ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe aƒe ɖi la, esiawoe wòde gae ɖe viviti me, eye wotsɔ gakɔsɔkɔsɔ mavɔ de wo hena ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ le Ŋkekegã la dzi. (aïdios g126)
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Nenema ke Sodom kple Gomora kple du siwo ƒo xlã wo la tsɔ wo ɖokuiwo dzra na ŋutilãmeŋunyɔnuwo wɔwɔ kple agbe vlo nɔnɔ. Wonye ame siwo le fu kpem le dzomavɔ ƒe tohehe me la ƒe kpɔɖeŋu. (aiōnios g166)
8 Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Nenema ke drɔ̃ekula siawo ƒo ɖi woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋutilãwo, tsi tsitre ɖe dziɖulawo ŋu, eye woƒoa nu vɔ̃ le dziƒodɔlawo ŋu.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Mawudɔlagã Maikel gɔ̃ hã, esi wònɔ nya hem kple Abosam tso Mose ƒe ŋutilã kukua ŋuti la, mete ŋu do dzi gblɔ nya vɔ̃ aɖeke ɖe eŋuti o, ke ɖeko wògblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ la aka mo na wò!”
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
Gake ame siawo ya ƒoa nu kple dzugbe ɖe nu sia nu si gɔme womese o la ŋuti, eye nu sia nu si gɔme wose to seselelãme me abe lã siwo mebua ta me o ene la, nu siawo kee nye nu siwo gblẽa wo dome.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Babaa na wo! Woto Kain ƒe mɔ; woti viɖe yome hege ɖe Balaam ƒe vodada me, eye wotsrɔ̃ wo le Kora ƒe aglãdzedze la me.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Ame siawo nye ɖiƒonuwo le hamea ƒe lɔlɔ̃nuɖuƒewo. Woɖua nu kpli mi ŋumakpetɔe, wonye alẽkplɔla siwo nyia woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo ko. Wole abe lilikpo siwo medzaa tsi o, eye ya lɔa wo ɖe enu ene. Wole abe kelemeti siwo metse ku o, eye woho wo da ɖi eye woku zi eve la ene.
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn g165)
Wole abe ƒutsotsoe siwo dze agbo hele woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋukpefutukpɔwo ɖem ɖe go la ene. Wole abe ɣletivi siwo le tsatsam, esiwo woɖo viviti tsiɖitsiɖi da ɖi na tegbetegbe la ene. (aiōn g165)
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
Enɔk, ame si nye dzidzime adrelia tso Adam dzi la gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe ame siawo ŋu be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Aƒetɔ la gbɔna kple eƒe dɔla kɔkɔe akpeakpewo,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame sia ame, ne wòabu fɔ mawumavɔ̃lawo ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo katã wowɔ le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi hekpe ɖe nya vlo siwo katã nu vɔ̃ wɔla siawo gblɔ ɖe eya amea ŋuti la ta.”
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
Ame siawo nye liʋĩliʋĩlĩlawo kple ame siwo kpɔa vodada le nu sia nu ŋu. Wodzea woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nudzodzro vɔ̃wo yome, woƒoa adegbe le woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo ŋu, eye wokafua amewo alakpatɔe hena woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nyui.
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ke nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, miɖo ŋku nya siwo míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe apostolowo gblɔ da ɖi la dzi.
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
Wogblɔ na mi be, “Le ɣeyiɣi mamlɛawo me la, fewuɖulawo ava, ame siwo adze woawo ŋutɔ ƒe dzodzro vɔ̃wo yome.”
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
Ame siawoe nye ame siwo dea mama mia dome, ame siwo dzea ŋutilã ƒe nukpɔkpɔwo yome, eye Gbɔgbɔ la mele wo me o.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Ke miawo ya la, nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, mitu mia ɖokuiwo ɖo le miaƒe xɔse kɔkɔetɔ kekeake me, eye mido gbe ɖa le Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la me.
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Mitsɔ mia ɖokuiwo de Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃ la me esi miele míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe nublanuikpɔkpɔ lalam be wòakplɔ mi ayi agbe mavɔ la mee. (aiōnios g166)
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Mikpɔ nublanui na ame siwo le ɖi kem le wo ɖokuiwo me.
23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Miɖe ame bubuwo tso dzo me, eye mixɔ na wo. Mikpɔ nublanui na wo kple vɔvɔ̃. Milé fu awu si ƒo ɖi to ŋutilã ƒe ɖiƒoƒo me gɔ̃ hã.
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Azɔ, eya ame si tea ŋu léa mí ɖe asi be míagadze anyi o, be wòakɔ mi aɖo eƒe ŋutikɔkɔefiazikpui la ŋgɔ kpɔtsɔtsɔmanɔŋui le dzidzɔ gã me lae mede mi asi na;
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Mawu ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ la, ame si nye míaƒe Ɖela la, eya ko tɔe nye ŋutikɔkɔe, fianyenye, ŋusẽ kple dziɖuɖu to Yesu Kristo míaƒe Aƒetɔ la me le dzidzimewo katã me, tso fifia yi ɖase ɖe mavɔ me! Amen. (aiōn g165)
