< Jude 1 >
1 To those who, having received the call, have been loved by God the Father and protected by Jesus Christ, From Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and the brother of James.
Yuda, mmanda wa Yesu kiristo, na nnongowe Yakobo, kwa balo babakemilwe, babapendilwe katika nnongo Tate, na babatunjilwe mwanja Yesu Kirisitu.
2 May mercy, peace, and love be yours in ever increasing measure.
Rehema na amani na upendo iyongekeye kwinu.
3 Dear friends, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I felt that I must write to you at once to encourage you to fight in defence of the faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s people.
mwapenzi, panipangaye kila ndela kumwandikyanga mwenga usu ukochopoli witu, na bweni lazima nimwandikyange lenga kunkombokea panga mwilendele kwa uaminipu imani yatwapeile mara jimo bai twenga twatuobelya.
4 For there have crept in among you certain godless people, whose sentence has long since been pronounced, and who make the mercy of God an excuse for profligacy, and disown our only lord and master, Jesus Christ.
kwa kitumbu kunabanda babajingi kinyemela abobalembilwe lulembo lenga baukumiwe bandualau babagalambwa Neema ya Nnungu panga kilebe chobocho bankana Bwana witu kichake na Bwana Yesu kirisitu.
5 Now I want to remind you – but you already know it all – that, though the Lord delivered the people from Egypt, yet he afterwards destroyed those who refused to believe in him;
tumbwele mbenda kunkombokeya mwenga panga inga mutangite kwa kakape panga kwina wakati Bwana akochopoli, bandu boka Misri, bokapo babakotwike kumwobelya atekwanganyia.
6 and that even those angels, who did not keep to their appointed spheres, but left their proper homes, have been kept by him for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains and black darkness. (aïdios )
malaika babakotwikw kwilenndela lenji yabe nakukileka kitamochabe Nnungu abeimutabilwe wangayomoka mulubendo balende ukumu ya lichoba lya mwisho. (aïdios )
7 Like Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns near them, which gave themselves up to fornication, and fell into unnatural vice, these angels now stand out as a warning, undergoing, as they are, punishment in eternal fire. (aiōnios )
kati sodoma na Gomora na ilambo yaiteleta, ambabo na bembe baijingiye bene muusharati na bakengime mwaba minyikiyage gangaliba boka patumbu, balayilwe kati mfango wa balo babalumya mumwoto wangayomoka. (aiōnios )
8 Yet in the same way these people, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the celestial beings.
Nyinyonyo kwa ndela yeyeloyelo babalota ndoto bachapuya yegayabe kwokana isimu apendo nolongela bocho usu utukupu.
9 Yet even Michael, the archangel, when, in his dispute with the devil, he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to charge him with maligning, but said merely “The Lord rebuke you!”
Lakini atamalaika nkolo Mikaeli, payomine na ibilisi asindinenakwe mwanja yega ya Musa alowiteli lets likowe lyobocho palipake abaite Nnungu akubendi.
10 But these people malign whatever they do not understand; while they use such things as they know by instinct (like the animals that have no reason) for their own corruption.
Lakini bandu babalekite ubocho kwa chochote chabakotwike kitanga nachabakitangite bapangite kati inyama bangali malango ago ngaalabiye.
11 Alas for them! They walk in the steps of Cain; led astray by Balaam’s love of gain, they plunge into sin, and meet their ruin through rebellion like Korah.
ole wabe mwanja bapite mundela ya Kaini, nokengama ulaa wa Balaamu. Balanganyike muuasi wa Kora.
12 These are the people who are blots on your “love-feasts,” when they feast together and provide without scruple for themselves alone. They are clouds without rain, driven before the winds; they are leafless trees without a vestige of fruit, dead through and through, torn up by the roots;
Aba ngababalongolya mucheleko cheleko yinu yo upendo nopulaika bila oni na kwipeya chakulya bene, baikati maunde gange mache gagapotolwa na nchunga kati mikongo yangapambika yaiyoma pabele noyobokolwa ndandae.
13 they are wild sea waves, foaming with their own shame; they are “wandering stars,” for which the blackest darkness has been reserved for ever. (aiōn )
Ni mawimbi ya bahari yabii Ni ndoti yene, Ni tondwa zindoranda kunani ambazo upili wa lubendo wabekilwe kwaajili yabe wangayomoka. (aiōn )
14 To these people, as to others, Enoch, the seventh in descent from Adam, declared – “See! The Lord has come with his hosts of holy ones around him,
Enoko, jwa saba katika isabu ya Adamu, atitabili husu bembe, atibaya lola Ngwana andaisa na maelfu na maelfu ya atakatifu bake,
15 to execute judgment on all people, and to convict all godless people of all their godless acts, which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the harsh words which they have spoken against him, godless sinners that they are!”
Lenga apange ukumu kunani ya kila mundu, na kwayeya atiya boti baba kotoka kun'yowa Nnongo kwa ayendo gabe goti gaba yomwi panga mundela yaibile kwaa ya utauwa, na kwa makowe goti ga ukale ambapo babile kwa bali longela kunani yake.”
16 These people are always murmuring, and complaining of their lot; they follow where their passions lead them; they have arrogant words on their lips; and they flatter others for the sake of what they can get from them.
Haba gabalo baba nung'unika, baba lalamika gaba kingama tama yabe yo ubou, baba ipuna, na bembe kwa faida yabe kwa konga benge.
17 But you should, dear friends, recall what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ila mwenga, mwapenzi, mukomboki yange makowe gaga bakiyilwe zamani na mitume ba Nngwana Yesu Kristo.
18 how they used to say to you – “As time draws to an end, there will be scoffers, who will be led by their godless passions.”
Baba baite kachinu, m muda wa bwiso kwaba na bandu babadhiaki nabo bakengama tamaa yabe yange utauwa.”
19 These are the people – animal and unspiritual – who cause divisions.
Bandu ba batengeneza, benda tawaliwa na tamaa ya asili na wantopo Roho.
20 But you must, dear friends, build up your characters on the foundation of your most holy faith, pray under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
Lakini mwenga, mwanipendile, kati mwa mwichewa mu imani yinu takatifu sana, na panga mwamuloba kwa Roho mtakatifu.
21 and keep within the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to bring you to eternal life. (aiōnios )
Mwilendele kwene upendo wa Nnongo, na mulende uruma ya Nngwana witu Yesu Kristo ambayo kumpeya mwomi wange yomoka. (aiōnios )
22 To some show pity, because they are in doubt. “Drag them out of the fire,” and save them.
Mulangi huruma kwa balo baba bii na masaka.
23 To others show pity, but with caution, hating the clothing polluted by their touch.
Mwalopwe benge kwa kwantondobeya buka kwene mwoto. Kwabenge mulaye lwongo kwa yogopa. Kamulichukwa hata ngobo ya iyejilwe lilowa lya yega.
24 To him who is able to guard you from falling, and to bring you into his glorious presence, blameless and rejoicing –
Sayena kayake anaweza kunendela mwakana kobala, na kwasabisha muyeme nnonge ya utukufu wake, bila kiziwi wizi na bapula ngolo,
25 to the one God, our Saviour, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, glory, majesty, power, and dominion, as it was before time began, is now, and will be for all time to come. Amen. (aiōn )
Kayake Nnongo kiyake mwokozi belya Yesu Kristo Nngwana witu, Utukupu ube kayake, uwezo na ngupu kabla ya wekati woti, na sayeno na hata -wanga yomoka. Amina. (aiōn )
