< Jude 1 >
1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them who are sanctified by God the Father, and to the preserved by Jesus Christ, to the called:
Nĩ niĩ Judasi, ndungata ya Jesũ Kristũ, na mũrũ wa nyina na Jakubu, Ndĩraandĩkĩra arĩa metĩtwo, o arĩa mendetwo nĩ Ngai Ithe, na makamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Jesũ Kristũ:
2 May mercy, and peace, and love, be multiplied to you.
Mũroingĩhĩrwo nĩ tha, na thayũ, o na wendani.
3 Beloved, making all haste to write to you, concerning the common salvation, I thought it necessary to write to you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith formerly delivered to the saints.
Arata akwa endwa, o na gũtuĩka nĩndĩrendete mũno kũmwandĩkĩra ũhoro wa ũhonokio ũrĩa tũgwatanĩire na inyuĩ-rĩ, nĩndĩronire kwagĩrĩire ndĩmwandĩkĩre nĩguo ndĩmũringĩrĩrie mũrũagĩrĩre wĩtĩkio ũrĩa wehokeirwo andũ arĩa aamũre ihinda rĩmwe rĩa kũigana.
4 For certain men have come in privily, who long ago were before written to this very condemnation; ungodly men, perverting the favor of our God to lasciviousness, and denying the only sovereign Lord, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe arĩa ũhoro wao wagũtuĩrwo ciira waandĩkĩtwo o tene nĩmetoonyereirie na hitho thĩinĩ wanyu. Acio nĩ andũ matetigagĩra Ngai, na nĩmagarũraga Wega wa Ngai witũ ũtuĩke wa kũmetĩkĩria kũhũũra ũmaraya, na magakaanaga Jesũ Kristũ, o we wiki Mũnene na Mwathani witũ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you formerly knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them who did not believe.
O na mwakorwo nĩmũmenyete ũhoro ũyũ wothe-rĩ, nĩngwenda kũmũririkania atĩ Mwathani nĩakũũrire andũ ake akĩmaruta bũrũri wa Misiri, no thuutha-inĩ akĩniina arĩa matetĩkĩtie.
6 Also, the angels who kept not their first estate, but left their proper habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, to the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
Nao araika arĩa maaregire gũkindĩria wathani-inĩ wao na magĩtiganĩria kũndũ kwao gwa gũtũũra-rĩ, acio nĩamahingĩire nduma-inĩ, nao moheetwo na mĩnyororo ya tene na tene metereirio ituĩro rĩa ciira wa Mũthenya ũrĩa mũnene. (aïdios )
7 Likewise Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which, after their example, had habitually committed uncleanness, and gone after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the punishment of an eternal fire. (aiōnios )
Ningĩ o ũndũ ũmwe nao, Sodomu, na Gomora, na matũũra marĩa maariganĩtie nĩmeneanire harĩ ũmaraya na waganu wa mwĩrĩ ũtarĩ wa ndũire. Acio nĩo maatuĩkire kĩonereria kĩa arĩa maherithagio na mwaki wa tene na tene. (aiōnios )
8 Truly, in like manner, also, shall these dreamers be punished--who, indeed, defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme dignities.
O na ningĩ noguo, arooti acio mathũkagia mĩĩrĩ yao ene, na makaregana na wathani, na magacambagia ciũmbe cia kũu igũrũ.
9 Whereas, Michael, the Arch Angel, when contending with the devil, (he disputed about the body of Moses, ) did not attempt to bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke":
No rĩrĩ, o na Mikaeli, mũraika ũrĩa mũnene, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakararanagĩria mwĩrĩ wa Musa na ngoma-rĩ, ndaigana kũgeria kũmũcambia, no oigire atĩrĩ, “Mwathani arogũkaania!”
10 but these, indeed, revile those things which they do not know; but what things they do know, naturally, as animals void of reason, by these things they destroy themselves.
No andũ acio-rĩ, marumaga maũndũ mothe marĩa matahotaga kũmenya; namo maũndũ marĩa mamenyete na ũndũ wa mũciarĩre, ta nyamũ iria iteciiragia-rĩ, maũndũ macio nĩmo meniinaga namo.
11 Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and have run evidently in the error of Balaam's hire, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
Kaĩ makĩrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Marũmĩrĩire njĩra ya Kaini; ningĩ magetoonyia na ihenya ihĩtia-inĩ rĩa Balamu nĩguo mone uumithio; o na makĩniinwo ũremi-inĩ wa gũũkĩrĩra wathani ta Kora.
12 These men are spots in love feasts, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear. They are clouds without water, carried about of winds: withered autumnal trees without fruit; twice dead; rooted out;
Andũ acio nĩ imeni rĩrĩa megũũka maruga-inĩ manyu ma wendani, makarĩanĩra na inyuĩ mategwĩtigĩra o na atĩa. Nĩ arĩithi arĩa merĩithagia o ene. Mahaana ta matu matarĩ na mbura, makĩhurutwo nĩ rũhuho; o na ningĩ mahaana ta mĩtĩ ĩtarĩ na matunda hĩndĩ ya kĩmera, ĩmunyĩĩtwo na mĩri ĩkooma biũ.
13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved. (aiōn )
Mahaana ta makũmbĩ ma iria marĩa matangĩgirĩrĩka, makĩhũyũkaga ciĩko ciao cia thoni ta mũhũũyũ; ningĩ matariĩ ta njata ciũrũũraga, iria ciigĩirwo nduma ĩrĩa ndumanu mũno nginya tene. (aiōn )
14 Now, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, indeed, concerning these men; saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with his myriads of holy angels,
Enoku, ũrĩa wa rũciaro rwa mũgwanja kuuma harĩ Adamu, nĩarathire ũhoro ũkoniĩ andũ acio akiuga ũũ: “Atĩrĩrĩ, Mwathani nĩarooka arĩ na andũ ake arĩa atheru ngiri na ngiri
15 to pass sentence on all, and to convict all the ungodly among them, of all their deeds of ungodliness; which they have impiously committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
nĩguo atuĩre o mũndũ ciira, na aiguithie kĩhooto andũ othe arĩa matetigĩrĩĩte Ngai, nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciothe cia kũremera Ngai, iria maaneka mategwĩtigĩra Ngai, o na nĩ ũndũ wa ciugo ciothe njũru iria ehia arĩa matamwĩtigĩrĩte manaaria cia gũũkĩrĩra Ngai.”
16 These are murmurers, and complainers, who walk according to their own lusts; and their mouths speak great swelling words. They admire persons for the sake of gain.
Andũ aya nĩangʼongʼori, na a gũcarĩria andũ arĩa angĩ mahĩtia; marũmagĩrĩra merirĩria mao mooru; nĩmegaathaga o ene, na makaheenagĩrĩria andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩguo megune o ene.
17 But, beloved, remember the words which were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ arata akwa endwa, ririkanai ũrĩa atũmwo a Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ maamwĩrire o mbere.
18 that they said to you, that in the last time there would be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
Maamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Mahinda ma kũrigĩrĩria-rĩ, nĩgũkagĩa na anyũrũrania arĩa makarũmagĩrĩra merirĩria mao ene matarĩ ma gwĩtigĩra Ngai.”
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Acio nĩo andũ arĩa mamwamũranagia, arĩa marũmagĩrĩra merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, no matirĩ na Roho.
20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying with a holy spirit;
No inyuĩ arata akwa endwa, ikaragai mũkĩongererekaga hinya thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio wanyu ũrĩa mũtheru mũno na mũhooyage mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho Mũtheru.
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to eternal life. (aiōnios )
Ikaragai thĩinĩ wa wendo wa Ngai mũgĩetagĩrĩra tha cia Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ nĩguo ikaamũkinyia muoyo-inĩ wa tene na tene. (aiōnios )
22 And making a difference, have compassion, indeed, on some:
Iguagĩrai tha andũ arĩa marĩ na mathangania,
23 but others, save by fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
tharai arĩa angĩ kuuma mwaki-inĩ mũmahonokie; arĩa angĩ-rĩ, maiguĩrei tha, mũrĩ na guoya, na mũgĩthũũraga o na nguo ciao iria ciĩkĩrĩtwo maroro nĩ mwĩrĩ mũthaahie.
24 Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory, with exceeding joy;
Na rĩu, kũrĩ ũrĩa ũngĩhota kũmũgitĩra mũtikagwe, na kũmũrũgamia mbere ya ũthiũ wake ũrĩa wĩ riiri mũtarĩ na ũũgũ, na mũrĩ na gĩkeno kĩnene:
25 to God, alone our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now, and throughout all ages. Amen. (aiōn )
Ngai we wiki Mũhonokia witũ arogĩa na riiri, na ũkaru, na hinya, o na wathani, thĩinĩ wa Jesũ Kristũ Mwathani witũ, o kuuma kĩambĩrĩria, o na rĩu, na nginya tene na tene! Ameni. (aiōn )
