< 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:
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Juda motlhanka wa ga Jesu Keresete mogoloa Jakobe. Go: Bakeresete gongwe le gongwe, barategi ba ba tlhophilweng ke One.
2 Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
A kutlwelo botlhoko ya Modimo, lorato le kagiso di lo oketsegele.
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.
Ditsala tse di rategang, ke ne ke ikaeletse go lo kwalela ka megopolo mengwe mabapi le poloko e Modimo o e re neileng, mme jaanong ke bona gore mo boemong jwa moo ke tshwanetse go lo kwalela ka sengwe se sele, ke lopa gore lo femele ka tlhoafalo boammaaruri jo Modimo o bo neileng batho ba One gangwe fela mo dingwageng tsotlhe ba sa fetoge.
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.
Mme ke bua ka ntlha ya gore Baruti bangwe ba ba senang bo-Modimo ba setse ba itshukunyeditse mo gare ga lona, ba re, fa re sena go nna Bakeresete re ka itirela go rata re sa boife kwatlhao ya Modimo. Tshenyego ya batho ba ba ntseng jalo e kwadilwe bogologolo gonne ba furaletse Mmusi yo e leng ene fela ka nosi Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
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;
Mme karabo ya me mo go bone ke e: gakologelwang boammaaruri jo, jo lo setseng lo bo itse, gore Jehofa o bolokile chaba yotlhe go tswa mo lefatsheng la Egepeto, mme a nyeletsa botlhe ba ba neng ba sa mo ikanye le go mo reetsa.
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 g126)
Mme ke lo gakolola ka Baengele ba ba kileng ba bo ba le boitshepo, mme ba boela mo sebeng. Jaanong Modimo o ba golegetse mo kgolegelong ya lefifi ba letetse letsatsi la katlholo. (aïdios g126)
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 g166)
Gakologelwang ka metse ya Sodoma le Gomora le metse e e neng e bapile nayo, yotlhe e ne e tletse mefutafuta ya dibe, le banna ba ba leswe ba ba eletsang banna ba bangwe. Metse eo e ne ya nyelediwa ka molelo go nna tlhagiso mo go rona gore re itse gore go na le dihele kwa baleofi ba yang go otlhaiwang teng. (aiōnios g166)
8 Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
Mme le fa go ntse jalo, baruti ba, ba tsietso, ba ntse ba tsweletse go tshela botshelo jwa bone jo bo leswe jwa boleo, ba tlontlolola mebele ya bone ebile ba nyatsa le e leng bone babusi ba bone, gape ba kgala le bagalaledi.
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.
Le ene Mikaele, mongwe wa Baengele ba bagolo thata ka nako ya fa ba tatalalana le Satane ka setopo sa ga Moshe, gaa a ka a leka go pega Satane molato; le fa e le go mo gobolola, fela a mo raya a re, “A Morena a go kgalemele.”
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.
Mme batho ba, ba kgala ba bile ba sotla sengwe le sengwe se ba sa se tlhaloganyeng, ba tshwana le diphologolo, ba dira sengwe le sengwe se ba se ratang, jalo he, ba senye mewa ya bone.
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.
A bo go latlhega bone, gonne ba latela sekao sa ga Kaene yo o neng a bolaya monnawe, fela jaaka Balaame, ba tlaa dira le fa e le eng ka ntlha ya go rata madi, le jaaka Kora, ga ba a ka ba reetsa Modimo, mme ba tlaa swela mo phutsong ya One.
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;
Mme fa banna ba ba ikopanya le lona mo meketeng ya lorato ya phuthego ke dilabe tse di maswe mo gare ga lona, ba a tshega ba tsweletse pele, ba bohula ba ikatela dijo ba sa akanyetse ba bangwe ba tshwana le maru a a kgokgoediwang ke phefo mo lefatsheng je le omeletseng a sena pula, ba solofetsa go le gontsi mme go se na sepe. Ba tshwana le ditlhare tsa maungo tse di senang sepe ka nako ya thobo, ga ba a swa fela, ba sule mo go menaganyeng, gonne ba epolotswe gotlhe ka medi go fisiwa.
13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn g165)
Mo go salang sefularong sa bone ke matlhabisa ditlhong le maswabi jaaka mahulo a a leswe a a tlogetsweng ke diphefo tsa makhubu a metsi a molapo mo lotshitshing, ba kaila gongwe le gongwe ba lebega ba phatsima jaaka dinaledi. Mme kwa pele ga bonwa go na le lefifi le le ntsho la bosakhutleng le ba le baakanyeditsweng ke Modimo. (aiōn g165)
14 Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,
Enoke wa bogologolo yo o neng a tshela morago ga ga Adamo, o ne a itse kaga batho ba, a bo a bua ka bone a re: “Bonang, Morena o e tla le didikadike tsa baitshepi ba gagwe.
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.”
O tlaa lere batho botlhe ba lefatshe fa pele ga gagwe mo katlholong, go amogela kwatlhao e e ba tshwanetseng, gore e nne bosupi jwa ditiro tse di boitshegang tse ba di dirileng ka go tsuolola Modimo, o tlaa senola gotlhe mo ba go buileng kaga gagwe.”
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.
Batho ba ke bangongoregi ba metlha yotlhe, ga ba ke ba thethebala dipelo, ba dira bosula bongwe le bongwe jo ba bo eletsang, ba boikgantsho ba goletse ganong ke “baipegi” ba rata go itshupa. Mme fa ba tlotla ba bangwe, ba direla fela gore le bone ba tle ba ba thuse.
17 But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ditsala tse di rategang, gakologelwang se baaposetoloi ba Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete ba se lo boleletseng,
18 that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
gore mo metlheng ya bofelo go tlaa tla basotli ba, ba maikaelelo a bone a botshelo e leng go itumela ka bosula bongwe le bongwe jo ba bo akanyang.
19 These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Mme ba tsosa dikganetsanyo; ba rata dilo tse di bosula tsa lefatshe, ga ba na Mowa O O Boitshepo mo go bone.
20 But do ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
Mme lona, ditsala tse di rategang, lo tshwanetse go aga matshelo a lona ka tlhomamo gape a nitame mo mothaong wa tumelo ya rona e e boitshepo, lo ithuta go rapela ka nonofo le ka tlhotlheletso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo.
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Lo nne mo kagelelong ya lorato lwa Modimo gore o kgone go lo segofatsa. Lo letele ka pelotelele botshelo jo bosakhutleng jo Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete o tlaa lo bo nayang ka kutlwelo botlhoko ya gagwe. (aiōnios g166)
22 And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
Mme lekang go thusa ba ba ganetsanyang le lona. Lo nne kutlwelo botlhoko mo go ba ba belaelang.
23 with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Bolokang bangwe jaaka ekete lo ba swatola mo molelong wa dihele. Mme ba bangwe bone, ba thuseng gore ba itse Morena mme lo ntse lo itlhokometse e se re kgotsa ba lo gogela mo dibeng tsa bone. Lo ile makgapha otlhe a maikepo a bone lo ntse lo le kutlwelo botlhoko nabo jaaka baleofi.
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,
Mme jaanong, a kgalalelo yotlhe e nne go One Modimo o o nosi, o o re bolokang ka Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona; Ee, borena le puso, le thata yotlhe le taolo ke tsa gagwe go tswa tshimologong: Gotlhe ke ga gagwe, gape e tlaa nna ga gagwe ka metlha le ka metlha. Mme gape o nonofile go lo tshegetsa gore lo se ka lwa relela lwa wa, le go lo tlisa lo sena selabe sa boleo, lo itekanetse mo kgalalelong ya gagwe, ka meduduetso e megolo ya boitumelo jo bo sa feleng. Ke nna, Juda. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
