< Jude 1 >
1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, loved in God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ:
Jud, odibo Jisọs Kraịst, na nwanne Jemis, Na-edegara ndị niile a kpọrọ, ndị ahụrụ nʼanya nʼime Chineke, bụ Nna, na ndị nọkwa nʼokpuru nchebe Jisọs Kraịst akwụkwọ ozi a:
2 Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
Ka ebere na udo na ịhụnanya bara unu ụba.
3 Beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you, I found it necessary to write to you concerning the common salvation, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, ebe ọ na-anụ m ọkụ nʼobi idere unu akwụkwọ banyere nzọpụta ahụ anyị nwekọrọ nʼotu, ma ahụrụ m mkpa ọ dị idere unu akwụkwọ a, ịrịọ unu ka unu guzosie ike buo agha ichebe okwukwe ahụ, nke e nyefere ndị nsọ nʼaka idebe.
4 For there have stealthily crept in certain men who were of old appointed beforehand for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into wantonness, and denying the only Sovereign, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nʼihi na ụfọdụ mmadụ, bụ ndị e dere ihe banyere ọmụma ikpe dịrị ha, siterị nʼoge gara aga, ezobatala nʼetiti unu. Ha bụ ndị na-adịghị asọpụrụ Chineke, ndị na-agbanwe amara Chineke anyị, mee ya ka ọ bụrụ ohere ha nwere ibi ndụ ịkwa iko, na nke ịgọnarị Jisọs Kraịst, onye naanị ya bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu na Onyenwe.
5 But I wish to remind you as once knowing it all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not;
Ọ bụ ezie na unu maa ihe ndị a niile, ma achọrọ m ichetara unu otu Onyenwe anyị si zọpụta ndị ya site nʼala Ijipt, ma mesịa laa ndị niile na-ekweghị ekwe nʼiyi.
6 and the angels which kept not their principality, but left their own dwelling-place, he hath kept in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day; (aïdios )
Ndị mmụọ ozi nupuru isi, ndị na-anọgideghị nʼọnọdụ e nyere ha, kama ha si nʼebe obibi ha gbapụ. O jirila igwe kee ha agbụ ebighị ebi, debe ha nʼọchịchịrị nʼime ala, ebe ha ga-anọ ruo ụbọchị ikpe ahụ dị egwu. (aïdios )
7 even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving themselves over to fornication, and going away after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire. (aiōnios )
Otu a kwa, Sọdọm na Gọmọra na obodo niile gbara ha gburugburu, bụ ndị nyefere onwe ha na ndụ ịkwa iko nakwa omume ibi ndụ ọjọọ dị iche iche nke anụ ahụ, bụ ihe ịdọ aka na ntị nye ndị mmadụ site nʼahụhụ ha tara nʼihi mmehie nʼime ọkụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios )
8 Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a kwa, ndị a na-emerụ anụ ahụ ha nʼirọ nrọ ha, na-ajụkwa ike ọchịchị niile, ma na-ekwulukwa ndị ahụ jupụtara nʼebube nke anya na-adịghị ahụ.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the Devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke thee.
Ma Maikel onyeisi ndị mmụọ ozi, mgbe o guzogidere ekwensu na-arụrịtakwa ụka banyere ozu Mosis, ya onwe ya enweghị anya ike ịma ya ikpe nʼihi okwu nkwulu, kama ọ sịrị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị baara gị mba.”
10 But these rail at the things which they know not; but what things they understand naturally, as brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.
Ma ndị a na-ekwulu ihe niile ọbụla ha na-aghọtaghị. Dịka ụmụ anụmanụ a na-azụghị azụ, ha na-eme ihe ọbụla dị ha mma nʼanya si otu a na-ala onwe ha nʼiyi.
11 Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and rushed on in the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ha, nʼihi na ha soro nzọ ụkwụ Ken, nyefee onwe ha na ndahie Belam nʼihi ihe nrite nʼuru, ma laa nʼiyi na nnupu isi Kora.
12 These are the rocks in your feasts of love, feasting together without fear, feeding only themselves; clouds without water, carried away by winds; trees in late autumn, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Ndị a bụ ihe ntụpọ nʼetiti unu nʼoge mmemme oriri ịhụnanya unu, ha na-eso unu na-erikọ nri na-atụghị egwu ọbụla. Ha bụ ndị na-elekọta naanị onwe ha. Ha dị ka igwe ojii nke na-adịghị ezo mmiri, nke ifufe na-ebugharị. Ha bụ osisi a na-ahụ nʼoge ọkọchị nke na-adịghị amị mkpụrụ, nke e si na mgbọrọgwụ ya hoputa, nke nwụrụ anwụ ugboro abụọ.
13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn )
Ha bụ ebili mmiri na-amagharị nʼosimiri, nke na-asọpụta ihere ha dịka ụfụfụ, kpakpando na-awagharị awagharị, bụ ndị nke a kwadooro ebe kachasị ịgba ọchịchịrị ruo ebighị ebi. (aiōn )
14 Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,
Ọ bụ nʼihi ihe ndị a ka Enọk, onye bụ agbụrụ nke asaa site nʼAdam buru nʼamụma banyere ha sị, “Lee! Onyenwe anyị na-abịa, ya na puku kwụrụ puku ndị nsọ ya.
15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly among them of all the deeds of their ungodliness which they committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners spoke against him.”
Ọ na-abịa ikpe mmadụ niile ikpe, na ịtụ ha niile mmehie ajọ omume niile ha nʼanya, bụ nke ha mere nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi. Tinyere okwu ọjọọ niile nke ndị mmehie ndị na-adịghị asọpụrụ Chineke kwuru megide ya.”
16 These are murmurers, complaining of their lot, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words; admiring men's persons, for the sake of profit.
Ndị a bụ ndị na-atamu ntamu oge niile, ndị o nweghị ihe ọbụla na-adị ha mma. Ndị na-agbaso agụ ihe ọjọọ niile nke anụ ahụ ha chọrọ. Ha na-anya isi banyere onwe ha, na-aja ndị ọzọ mma; ka ha nwee ike nweta ihe ha na-achọ nʼaka ha.
17 But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ma unu, ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, chetanụ ihe ndị ozi Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst kwuru na ha ga-emezu.
18 that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
Nʼihi na ha sịrị unu, “Nʼọgwụgwụ oge ahụ, ndị na-eji ihe niile na-emere ihe ọchị ga-adị. Ndị na-agbaso agụ ihe ọjọọ niile nke anụ ahụ ha chọrọ.
19 These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Ọ bụ ndị anụ ahụ ha na-achị, ndị na-enweghị Mmụọ Nsọ nʼime ha, bụ ndị na-eweta nkewa nʼetiti unu.”
20 But do ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
Ma unu, ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, nọgidenụ na-ewuli onwe unu elu na ntọala okwukwe unu dịkarịsịrị nsọ. Na-ekpekwanụ ekpere nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ.
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios )
Doonụ onwe unu nʼokpuru ịhụnanya Chineke, dịka unu na-echere ebere Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst nke na-eduba na ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios )
22 And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
Gosinụ ụfọdụ ndị na-enwe obi abụọ ebere.
23 with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Zọpụtanụ ndị ọzọ site nʼịgụpụta ha nʼọkụ. Nʼebe ndị ọzọ nọ gosinụ ha obi ebere, kama jirinụ ịtụ egwu mee nke a, kpọọnụ ọ bụladị uwe nke anụ ahụ mmehie merụrụ asị.
24 But to him that is able to keep them from falling, and to present them faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Ugbu a, nye onye ahụ pụrụ ichebe unu, ka unu ghara ịda, onye pụrụ ịkpọbata unu nʼihu ya dị ebube nʼọnọdụ enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla nʼoke ọṅụ
25 to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, is glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for ever. Amen. (aiōn )
ka otuto, na ịdị ukwuu, na ike, na ikike ọchịchị; dịrị Onye naanị ya bụ Chineke, Onye nzọpụta anyị, site na Jisọs Kraịst Onyenwe anyị, tupu nʼọgbọ niile ebido, ka ọ dịrị ya ugbu a, na mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn )
