< 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:
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, 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.
Vadikanwi, ndichiita kushingaira kwese kukunyorerai zvekuponeswa kwedu tese, zvakange zvakandifanira kukunyorerai, ndichikurudzira kuti murwire rutendo rwakapiwa vatsvene kamwe.
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.
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 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;
Asi ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai, kunyange maiziva ichi kamwe, kuti Ishe aponesa vanhu munyika yeEgipita, pashure akazoparadza avo vakange vasingatendi.
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 )
Nevatumwa vasina kuchengeta ukuru hwavo, asi vakasiya ugaro hwavo pachavo, wakavachengetera kutonga kwezuva guru nezvisungo zvekusingaperi pasi perima. (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 )
SeSodhoma neGomora, nemaguta akaapoteredza, akazvikumikidza kuupombwe nenzira yakafanana nawo, nekutevera imwe nyama, akaitwa mufananidzo pachena, akatambudzika pakurangwa nemoto usingaperi. (aiōnios )
8 Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
Saizvozvowo neimwe nzira neava vachirota zvirokwazvo vanosvibisa nyama, vachiramba utongi, nekutuka ukuru.
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.
Asi Mikaeri mutumwa mukuru, nguva yaakapokana nadhiabhorosi akakakavara pamusoro pemutumbi waMozisi, haana kushinga kumupa mhosva nemutongo wekutuka, asi wakati: Ishe ngaakutsiure.
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.
Asi ava vanotuka zvese zvavasingazivi; asi zvese zvavanoziva pachisikirwo, semhuka dzisina pfungwa, vanozviparadza muzvinhu izvi.
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.
Vane nhamo! Nokuti vakafamba nenzira yaKaini, uye vakazviwisira mukutsauka kwaBharami nekuda kwemubairo, vakaparadzwa panharo dzaKora.
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;
Ava makwapa pamabiko enyu erudo, kana vachipemberera nemwi, vachizvifunda vasina kutya; makore asina mvura, anotinhwa nemhepo; miti yechando, isina zvibereko, yakafa kaviri, yakadzurwa;
13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn )
mafungu egungwa anopengereka, anopupuma nyadzi dzawo pachawo; nyeredzi dzinongombeya, vakachengeterwa kusviba kwerima nekusingaperi. (aiōn )
14 Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,
NaEnokiwo wechinomwe kubva kuna Adhamu, wakaporofita zvaivava achiti: Tarira, Ishe wakauya nevatsvene vake zvuru zvamazana,
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.”
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 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.
Ava van'un'uni, vasingagutsikani, vanofamba nekuchiva kwavo; uye muromo wavo unotaura zvekuzvikudza, vachirumbidza vanhu nekuda kwemubairo.
17 But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Asi imwi vadikanwi, rangarirai mashoko akagara ataurwa nevaapositori vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu;
18 that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
kuti vakati kwamuri: Panguva yekupedzisira vaseki vachavapo, vachafamba nekuchiva kwavo kwekusada Mwari.
19 These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Ava ndivo vanozviparadzanisa, ndevechisikirwo, vasina Mweya.
20 But do ye, beloved, building up yourselves 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, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios )
muzvichengete murudo rwaMwari, muchitarisira tsitsi dzaIshe wedu, Jesu Kristu, kusvikira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios )
22 And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
Ivaiwo netsitsi nevamwe muchipa mutsauko,
23 with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
asi vamwe muvaponese nekutya, muchivabvuta kubva mumoto; muchivenga kunyange nguvo yakasvibiswa nezvinobva panyama.
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,
Zvino kuna iye anogona kukuchengetai pasina kugumburwa, nekukuteyai musina chamungapomerwa pamberi pekubwinya kwake mumufaro mukuru,
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 )
kuna Mwari umwe wakachenjera, Muponesi wedu, ngakuve nekubwinya uye ukuru, simba uye umambo, ikozvinowo narinhi kwese. Ameni. (aiōn )
