< 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:
Ngai Jide, mowumbu ya Yesu-Klisto mpe ndeko ya Jake; Epai ya bato oyo Nzambe abenga, ba-oyo Nzambe Tata alingaka, mpe ba-oyo babatelami mpo na Yesu-Klisto:
2 Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
Tika ete mawa, kimia mpe bolingo efuluka kati na bino!
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.
Balingami na ngai, nazalaki na posa makasi ya kokomela bino na tina na lobiko oyo tozali na yango na lisanga. Nazwaki mokumba ya kokomela bino mpo na kolendisa bino ete bobunda mpo na kondima oyo Nzambe apesaki, mbala moko mpo na libela, epai ya basantu.
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.
Pamba te ezali na bato mosusu oyo basili kokota kati na bino na mayele mabe, ba-oyo etumbu na bango ekomama wuta kala: batosaka makambo ya Nzambe te, bakomisaka ngolu ya Nzambe na biso lokola nzela ya kosala makambo na bango ya soni, mpe bawanganaka Yesu-Klisto, Mokonzi kaka moko mpe Nkolo na biso.
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;
Atako boyebi malamu makambo oyo nyonso, kasi nalingi kaka koyebisa bino lisusu ete Nkolo akangolaki bato na Ye na bowumbu kati na Ejipito, kasi, sima na yango, abomaki ba-oyo bazalaki na kondima te.
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 )
Nzambe akangaki mpe na minyololo ya seko, kati na molili mpo na kosambisama ya mokolo monene, ba-anjelu oyo basepelaki te na evandelo oyo Nzambe apesaki bango mpe batikaki yango. (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 )
Ndenge moko mpe mpo na bato ya Sodome, ya Gomore mpe ya bingumba ya pembeni: basalaki ndenge moko na ba-anjelu, bamipesaki na pite mpe bazalaki kosangisa nzoto na ndenge oyo esengeli te. Bazali ndakisa mpo na bato oyo bazali komona pasi ya etumbu ya moto ya seko na seko. (aiōnios )
8 Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
Ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na bato wana: makanisi na bango etindikaka bango na kobebisa banzoto na bango, na kotiola bokonzi ya Nkolo, mpe na kofinga bikelamu ya nkembo ya Likolo.
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.
Nzokande, ezala Misheli, mokonzi ya ba-anjelu, tango abendanaki na Satana na tina na nzoto ya Moyize, amekaki ata moke te kopesa Satana etumbu ya soni; kasi alobaki kaka: « Tika ete Nkolo apesa yo etumbu! »
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.
Kasi bato wana bafingaka oyo bango basosolaka te, mpe makambo oyo bango basosolaka na lolenge na bango ya bomoto mpe ya bonyama ekobebisa bango.
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.
Mawa na bango, pamba te balandaki nzela ya Kayina, bapengwaki lokola Balami mpo na lokoso ya mbongo, mpe bakufaki lokola Kore mpo na botomboki.
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;
Ezali mpe kaka bango nde babetisaka baninga mabaku na tango ya kolia na lisanga: baliaka na lokoso mpe na soni te, balukaka kaka bolamu na bango; bazali lokola mapata oyo ezangi mayi, oyo mopepe ezali komema; bazali lokola banzete oyo ebotaka bambuma te, ata na eleko ya kobuka bambuma; ekufaka mbala mibale soki bapikoli yango.
13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn )
Babimisaka misala na bango ya soni ndenge ebale monene ebimisaka mbonge mpe fulufulu soki etomboki makasi; bazali lokola minzoto oyo eyengaka-yengaka. Nzambe abombeli bango etumbu ya molili makasi mpo na libela. (aiōn )
14 Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,
Ezala Enoki, mokitani ya sambo wuta Adamu, asakolaki na tina na bango: « Tala, Nkolo azali koya elongo na basantu na Ye, bankoto na bankoto,
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.”
mpo na kosambisa bato nyonso mpe kopesa etumbu na bato nyonso oyo batosaka Ye te mpo na misala na bango nyonso ya botomboki mpe mpo na mafinga nyonso oyo basumuki yango babimisaki mpo na kofinga Nzambe. »
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.
Bato yango bayimaka-yimaka mpe bamilelaka-lelaka tango nyonso, batambolaka kolanda baposa mabe ya banzoto na bango, bamikumisaka mpe bakumisaka bato mosusu na lokuta mpo na kobenda litomba kowuta na bango.
17 But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Kasi bino, balingami na ngai, bokanisa maloba oyo bantoma ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, balobaki liboso.
18 that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
Balobaki na bino: « Na tango ya suka, ekozala na batioli oyo bakotambola kolanda baposa na bango, oyo ekotindika bango na koboya kotosa makambo ya Nzambe. »
19 These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Bazali bato oyo bakotisaka bokabwani kati na bato, bazali lokola banyama mpo ete bazangi Molimo ya Nzambe.
20 But do ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
Kasi bino, balingami na ngai, botonga bomoi na bino na likolo ya kondima na bino, oyo eleki bule. Bobondelaka na nguya ya Molimo Mosantu.
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios )
Bomibomba kati na bolingo ya Nzambe, wana bozali kozela ete Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, na mawa na Ye, apesa bino bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios )
22 And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
Boyokela bato oyo bazali nanu na tembe mawa;
23 with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
mpo na bato mosusu, bobikisa bango na kobimisa bango na moto; mpe mpo na bato mosusu lisusu, boyokela bango mpe mawa oyo esangana na bobangi, na koyina ezala ata bilamba na bango, oyo baposa na bango ya nzoto ekomisa mbindo.
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,
Epai na Ye oyo azali na makoki ya kobatela bino mpo ete bokweya te, mpe ya kotelemisa bino liboso ya nkembo na Ye lokola bato oyo bazangi mbeba mpe bato ya esengo monene;
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 )
epai ya Nzambe moko kaka, Mobikisi na biso, na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, tika ete nkembo, lokumu, nguya mpe bokonzi ezala ya Ye, wuta liboso ya tango, sik’oyo mpe mpo na libela na libela! Amen! (aiōn )
