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 ɔsomfoɔ Yuda a meyɛ Yakobo nua na metwerɛɛ krataa yi, Mede kɔma wɔn a Onyankopɔn afrɛ wɔn na wɔte Agya Onyankopɔn dɔ ne Yesu Kristo banbɔ 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 atwerɛ mo afa nkwagyeɛ a yɛn nyinaa te mu no ho. Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ metwerɛ mo wɔ asɛm foforɔ ho na moyere mo ho gyina nokorɛ a Onyankopɔn de ama ne nkurɔfoɔ afebɔɔ, a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsesa mu da biara da.
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 Onyankopɔn adom no ka sɛ adom no enti abrabɔ bɔne nsɛe hwee. Wɔnnye Yesu Kristo a ɔno nko ara ne yɛn Wura ne yɛn Awurade no nto mu. Atwerɛsɛm no aka wɔn afɔbuo a aba wɔn so no ho asɛm dada.
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;
Ɛwom sɛ monim yeinom dada, nanso mepɛ sɛ mekae mo adwene wɔ ɔgye a Awurade gyee Israelfoɔ firii Misraim asase so na akyire yi, ɔsɛee wɔn a na wɔnnye 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 abɔfoɔ a wɔdii tumi trasoɔ ma wɔgyaa wɔn atenaeɛ no. Wɔagu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn wɔ sum kabii mu, na Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie retwɛn ɛda kɛseɛ 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 nkuro a na atwa wɔn ho ahyia no sɛ, na emu nnipa no yɛ adwamanfoɔ. Onyankopɔn twee wɔn aso de yɛɛ nhwɛsoɔ maa wɔn a wɔbɛnya asotwe a ɛde wɔn kɔ ogya a ɛnnum da no mu. (aiōnios g166)
8 Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.
Saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so na adaeɛsofoɔ yi nam. Wogu wɔn ankasa onipadua ho fi. Wɔpo tumidie, na wɔka nsɛmmɔne fa animuonyamfoɔ a wɔwɔ ɔsoro 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.
Ɔbɔfopanin Mikael mpo nyɛɛ saa da. Ɛberɛ a Mikael ne ɔbonsam repere Mose amu so a akasakasa sii wɔn ntam no mpo, wante ɔbonsam atua, na mmom, asɛm a ɔkaeɛ 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 te nneɛma a wɔnte aseɛ ho atua. Sɛdeɛ mmoa a wɔnni nyansa di wɔn atenka akyi no, saa ara na wɔn nso wɔdi wɔn atenka akyi wɔ nneɛma a wɔnte aseɛ ho, na yei de ɔsɛeɛ bɛba wɔn so.
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.
Wɔnnue! Ɛkwan a Kain faa so no ara so na wɔnam. Sikanibereɛ enti, wɔde wɔn ho akɔhyɛ Bileam nnaadaasɛm ase. Wɔate atua atia Onyankopɔn sɛdeɛ Kora yɛeɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ. Yei enti 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 nkekaeɛ fi a ɛwɔ wo nua aduane a ɔne wo di mu a wɔmfɛre ho. Wɔn ani ku wɔn ara wɔn ho. Na wɔte sɛ omununkum a ɛsi na mframa bɔ no, nanso osuo ntɔ. Wɔte sɛ nnua a ɛnso aba asusɔberɛ mu. Wɔte sɛ nnua a wɔatutu ne nhini 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 ɛpo asorɔkye a ano yɛ den a ɛhuru sɛ ahuro da wɔn aniwudeɛ adi. Wɔte sɛ nsoromma a ɛkyinkyini a Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie ɔsɛeɛ esum 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 ɔtɔ no so nsia na ɔhyɛɛ saa nnipa yi ho nkɔm teteete sɛ, “Hwɛ, Awurade ne nʼabɔfoɔ 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 wɔabɛbu mo nyinaa atɛn na wɔabu nnebɔneyɛfoɔ 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.
Ɛberɛ biara, saa nnipa yi nwiinwii na wɔde mfomsoɔ to afoforɔ so. Wɔdi wɔn akɔnnɔ akyi. Wɔhoahoa wɔn ho na wɔdaadaa afoforɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛba abɛdi 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 asomafoɔ no kaeɛ.
18 that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Sɛ awieeɛ no duru a, nnipa a wɔdi mo ho fɛ bɛba, wɔn a wɔdi wɔn akɔnnɔ akyi.”
19 These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Yeinom ne nnipa a wɔnam wɔn akɔnnɔ so de mpaapaemu ba no. Na wɔnni 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, metu mo fo sɛ, monkɔ so mmia mo gyidie mu. Mommɔ mpaeɛ 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 ɛberɛ a moretwɛn yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo wɔ nʼahummɔborɔ mu ama wama mo nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ no. (aiōnios g166)
22 And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion
Monhunu wɔn a wɔn gyidie sua mmɔbɔ.
23 with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Montwe wɔn mfiri ogya mu nnye wɔn nkwa. Momfa suro nhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ, na monkyiri ntadeɛ a wɔn bɔne nkekaeɛ akeka mu.
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 deɛ ɔbɛtumi asɔ mo mu na moanhwinti, na ɔde mo asi nʼanimuonyam anim sɛ nnipa a wɔnni dɛm wɔ ahosane 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 korɔ a ɔnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo so yɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no, ɔno na animuonyam ne kɛseyɛ ne ahoɔden ne tumi nka no mmerɛ a atwam, ne ɛnnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Amen. (aiōn g165)
