< Jude 1 >
1 Judas, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those called, having been loved in God [the] Father, and having been kept in Jesus Christ,
Judha muranda waJesu Kristu, uye munin'ina waJakobho, kune vakaitwa vatsvene muna Mwari Baba, uye vakachengetedzwa muna Jesu Kristu, vakadanwa:
2 mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you!
Tsitsi kwamuri, nerugare, nerudo, ngazvipamhidzirwe.
3 Beloved, using all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting [you] to fight for the faith once delivered to the holy ones,
Vadikanwi, ndichiita kushingaira kwese kukunyorerai zvekuponeswa kwedu tese, zvakange zvakandifanira kukunyorerai, ndichikurudzira kuti murwire rutendo rwakapiwa vatsvene kamwe.
4 for there came in certain men stealthily, having been written beforehand to this judgment long ago, impious, perverting the grace of our God to licentiousness, and denying our only Master and Lord—Jesus Christ.
Nokuti kuna vamwe vanhu vakapinda nekunyangira, vakagara vanyorerwa kupiwa mhosva uku, vasingadi Mwari, vanoshandura nyasha dzaMwari wedu kuita unzenza, uye vachiramba Tenzi umwe wega Mwari, naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
5 Now I intend to remind you, you once having known all this, that Jesus, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, He secondly destroyed those not having believed;
Asi ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai, kunyange maiziva ichi kamwe, kuti Ishe aponesa vanhu munyika yeEgipita, pashure akazoparadza avo vakange vasingatendi.
6 messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness until [the] judgment of [the] great day, (aïdios )
Nevatumwa vasina kuchengeta ukuru hwavo, asi vakasiya ugaro hwavo pachavo, wakavachengetera kutonga kwezuva guru nezvisungo zvekusingaperi pasi perima. (aïdios )
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these [messengers], having given themselves to whoredom, and having gone after other flesh, have been set before [as] an example, undergoing the justice of continuous fire. (aiōnios )
SeSodhoma neGomora, nemaguta akaapoteredza, akazvikumikidza kuupombwe nenzira yakafanana nawo, nekutevera imwe nyama, akaitwa mufananidzo pachena, akatambudzika pakurangwa nemoto usingaperi. (aiōnios )
8 In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming indeed defile the flesh, and they disregard lordship, and they speak evil of glorious [ones],
Saizvozvowo neimwe nzira neava vachirota zvirokwazvo vanosvibisa nyama, vachiramba utongi, nekutuka ukuru.
9 yet Michael, the chief messenger, when disputing with the Devil, reasoning about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against [him] a judgment of slander, but said, “The LORD rebuke you!”
Asi Mikaeri mutumwa mukuru, nguva yaakapokana nadhiabhorosi akakakavara pamusoro pemutumbi waMozisi, haana kushinga kumupa mhosva nemutongo wekutuka, asi wakati: Ishe ngaakutsiure.
10 But these, indeed, whatever [things] they have not known, they speak evil of; and whatever [they know], like the irrational beasts, they understand naturally—in these they are corrupted;
Asi ava vanotuka zvese zvavasingazivi; asi zvese zvavanoziva pachisikirwo, semhuka dzisina pfungwa, vanozviparadza muzvinhu izvi.
11 woe to them! Because they went on in the way of Cain, and they rushed to the deceit of Balaam for reward, and in the controversy of Korah they perished.
Vane nhamo! Nokuti vakafamba nenzira yaKaini, uye vakazviwisira mukutsauka kwaBharami nekuda kwemubairo, vakaparadzwa panharo dzaKora.
12 These are stains at your love-feasts, feasting together with you without fear, shepherding themselves; waterless clouds, being carried away by winds; autumnal trees without fruit, having died twice, having been uprooted;
Ava makwapa pamabiko enyu erudo, kana vachipemberera nemwi, vachizvifunda vasina kutya; makore asina mvura, anotinhwa nemhepo; miti yechando, isina zvibereko, yakafa kaviri, yakadzurwa;
13 wild waves of a sea, foaming up their own shameful [deeds]; stars going astray, for whom the gloom of the darkness throughout the age has been kept. (aiōn )
mafungu egungwa anopengereka, anopupuma nyadzi dzawo pachawo; nyeredzi dzinongombeya, vakachengeterwa kusviba kwerima nekusingaperi. (aiōn )
14 And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied to these, saying, “Behold, the LORD has come with myriads of His holy ones,
NaEnokiwo wechinomwe kubva kuna Adhamu, wakaporofita zvaivava achiti: Tarira, Ishe wakauya nevatsvene vake zvuru zvamazana,
15 to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the harsh [words] that impious sinners spoke against Him.”
kuzoita mutongo unopikisa vese, nekupa mhosva vese vavo vasingadi Mwari pamusoro pemabasa avo ese ekusada Mwari, avakaita mukusada Mwari, nepamusoro pezvikukutu zvese vatadzi vasingadi Mwari zvavakataura maererano naye.
16 These are discontented grumblers, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaks swollen words, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;
Ava van'un'uni, vasingagutsikani, vanofamba nekuchiva kwavo; uye muromo wavo unotaura zvekuzvikudza, vachirumbidza vanhu nekuda kwemubairo.
17 but you, beloved, remember the sayings spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Asi imwi vadikanwi, rangarirai mashoko akagara ataurwa nevaapositori vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu;
18 that they said to you, that in the last time there will be scoffers, following after their own lusts of impieties,
kuti vakati kwamuri: Panguva yekupedzisira vaseki vachavapo, vachafamba nekuchiva kwavo kwekusada Mwari.
19 these are those causing divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.
Ava ndivo vanozviparadzanisa, ndevechisikirwo, vasina Mweya.
20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
Asi imwi vadikanwi, muchizvivaka parutendo rwenyu rwutsvene-tsvene, muchinyengetera muMweya Mutsvene,
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [resulting] in continuous life; (aiōnios )
muzvichengete murudo rwaMwari, muchitarisira tsitsi dzaIshe wedu, Jesu Kristu, kusvikira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios )
22 and, indeed, show mercy to those who are doubting,
Ivaiwo netsitsi nevamwe muchipa mutsauko,
23 and rescue others by snatching [them] out of fire; but show mercy to others in fear, hating even the coat having been stained from the flesh.
asi vamwe muvaponese nekutya, muchivabvuta kubva mumoto; muchivenga kunyange nguvo yakasvibiswa nezvinobva panyama.
24 And to Him who is able to guard you without stumbling, and to set [you] in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,
Zvino kuna iye anogona kukuchengetai pasina kugumburwa, nekukuteyai musina chamungapomerwa pamberi pekubwinya kwake mumufaro mukuru,
25 to the only wise God our Savior, [is] glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and forever! Amen. (aiōn )
kuna Mwari umwe wakachenjera, Muponesi wedu, ngakuve nekubwinya uye ukuru, simba uye umambo, ikozvinowo narinhi kwese. Ameni. (aiōn )
