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:
Yesu Kristo somfo Yuda a ɔyɛ Yakobo nua na ɔkyerɛw krataa yi, Ɔde kɔmaa wɔn a Onyankopɔn afrɛ wɔn na wɔte Agya Onyankopɔn dɔ ne Yesu Kristo bammɔ mu:
2 Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
Mmɔborɔhunu ne ɔdɔ a ɛdɔɔso nka mo.
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.
Me nnamfonom, anka merebɔ mmɔden akyerɛw mo afa nkwagye a yɛn nyinaa te mu no ho. Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ mekyerɛw mo wɔ asɛm foforo ho na moyere mo ho gyina nokware a Onyankopɔn de ama ne nkurɔfo afebɔɔ, a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsesa mu da biara da no mu.
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.
Nnipa bi awiawia wɔn ho abɛfra yɛn mu a wɔkyea asɛm a ɛfa yɛn Nyankopɔn adom no ho ka se adom no nti ɔbra bɔne nsɛe hwee. Wonnye Yesu Kristo a ɔno nko ara ne yɛn Wura ne yɛn Awurade no nto mu. Kyerɛwsɛm no aka wɔn afɔbu a aba wɔn so no ho asɛm dedaw.
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;
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ munim eyinom dedaw, nanso mepɛ sɛ mekae mo adwene wɔ gye a Awurade gyee Israelfo fii Misraim asase so na akyiri no, ɔsɛee wɔn a na wonnye asɛm no nni no ho.
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)
Monkae abɔfo a wodii tumi traa so ma wogyaw wɔn atenae no. Wɔagu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn wɔ sum kabii mu, na Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie retwɛn da kɛse no na wabu wɔn atɛn. (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)
Monkae Sodom ne Gomora ne nkurow a na atwa wɔn ho ahyia no sɛ, na mu nnipa no yɛ nguamanfo. Onyankopɔn twee wɔn aso de yɛɛ nhwɛso maa wɔn a wobenya asotwe a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ ogya a ennum da no mu. (aiōnios g166)
8 Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
Saa ɔkwan koro no ara so na adaesofo yi nam. Wugu wɔn ankasa nipadua ho fi. Wɔpo tumidi, na wɔka nsɛmmɔne fa anuonyamfo a wɔwɔ ɔsoro no ho.
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.
Ɔbɔfopanyin Mikael mpo nyɛɛ saa da. Bere a Mikael ne ɔbonsam repere Mose amu so a akasakasa sii wɔn ntam no mpo, wantew ɔbonsam atua, na mmom asɛm a ɔkae ara ne sɛ, “Awurade nka wʼanim.”
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.
Nanso saa nnipa yi tew nneɛma a wɔnte ase ho atua. Na nneɛma a wɔn abɔsu mu wɔnte ase no, sɛnea nkekaboa yɛ no, saa nneɛma koro no ara na ɛbɛsɛe wɔn.
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.
Wonnue! Ɔkwan a Kain faa so no ara so na wɔnam. Sikanibere nti, wɔde wɔn ho akɔhyɛ Bileam nnaadaasɛm ase. Wɔatew Onyankopɔn so atua sɛnea Kora yɛe pɛpɛɛpɛ, eyi nti wɔbɛsɛe wɔn.
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;
Wɔte sɛ nkekae fi a ɛwɔ onua aduan a ɔne wo di mu a wɔmfɛre ho. Wɔn ani ku wɔn ara wɔn ho. Na wɔte sɛ omununkum a esi na mframa bɔ no, nanso osu ntɔ. Wɔte sɛ nnua a ɛnsow aba asusowbere mu. Wɔte sɛ nnua a wɔatutu ne ntin ama awu koraa.
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)
Wɔte sɛ po asorɔkye a ano yɛ den a ehuru sɛ ahuru da wɔn aniwude adi. Wɔte sɛ nsoromma a ekyinkyin a Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie ɔsɛe sum kabii mu afebɔɔ. (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,
Henok, Adam aseni a ɔto no so asia na ɔhyɛɛ saa nnipa yi ho nkɔm teteete sɛ, “Hwɛ, Awurade ne nʼabɔfo Kronkron mpempem reba,
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.”
na wɔabebu mo nyinaa atɛn na wɔabu nnebɔneyɛfo nyinaa atɛn wɔ wɔn bɔne a wɔayɛ ne nsɛm a wɔaka atia Onyankopɔn no ho.”
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.
Bere biara, saa nnipa yi nwiinwii na wɔde mfomso to afoforo so. Wodi wɔn akɔnnɔ akyi. Wɔhoahoa wɔn ho na wɔdaadaa afoforo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛba abedi wɔn akyi.
17 But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Me nnamfonom, monkae nsɛm a yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo asomafo no kae.
18 that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
Wɔkae se, “Sɛ awiei no du a nnipa a wodi mo ho fɛw na wodi wɔn akɔnnɔ akyi bɛba.”
19 These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Eyinom ne nnipa a wɔnam wɔn akɔnnɔ so de mpaapaemu ba no. Na wonni Honhom no wɔ wɔn mu.
20 But do ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
Enti, mo a moyɛ me nnamfonom, mitu mo fo sɛ, monkɔ so mmia mo gyidi mu. Mommɔ mpae wɔ Honhom Kronkron no tumi mu,
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
na montena Onyankopɔn dɔ mu bere a moretwɛn yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo wɔ nʼahummɔbɔ mu ama wama mo nkwa a enni awiei no. (aiōnios g166)
22 And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
Munhu wɔn a wɔn gyidi sua no mmɔbɔ.
23 with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Montwe wɔn mfi ogya mu nnye wɔn nkwa. Momfa osuro nhu wɔn mmɔbɔ, na munkyi ntade a wɔn bɔne nkekae akeka mu no.
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,
Na nea obetumi aso mo mu na moanhintiw, na ɔde mo asi nʼanuonyam anim sɛ nnipa a wonni dɛm wɔ ahosan mu no,
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)
Onyankopɔn koro a ɔnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo so yɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no, ɔno na anuonyam ne kɛseyɛ ne ahoɔden ne tumi nka no mmere a atwam, ne nnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Amen. (aiōn g165)
