< 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.
Nene ndi Yuda, mtumisi wa Yesu Kilisitu na mbena waki Yakobo. Nikuvayandikila nyenye mwemkemeliwi na Chapanga Dadi mweakuvagana na Yesu Kilisitu ndi mlonda winu.
2 May mercy, peace, and love be yours in ever increasing measure.
Nikumuyupa Chapanga avahengela lipyana, uteke na uganu vivya kwinu kwa umahele wewihuma kwa Chapanga.
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 defense of the faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s people.
Vankozi vaganu, navili na uganu wa kuvayandikila kuuvala usangula wula wetivili nawu tavoha. Nambu niwona chabwina kuvayandikila ndava kuvakangamalisa mitima muyihengela ulonda sadika, yevapewili vandu va Chapanga mala yimonga ndu kwa lukumbi lwoha.
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.
Muni vandu vangamuyogopa Chapanga vajiyingisi chinunu pagati yitu. Vandu venavo uvang'anamwisi ujumbi wabwina wa Chapanga witu muni vakita mambu ga ukemi na kumbela Yesu Kilisitu mweavili mwene, Chilongosi na Bambu witu. Nambu Mayandiku Gamsopi gamali kujova kuhumila kadeni uhamula weukuvalindila vandu avo.
5 Now I want to remind you – but you already know it all – that, though the Lord delivered the people from Egypt, yet he afterward destroyed those who refused to believe in him;
Hinu nigana kuvakumbusa mambu, pamonga aga mwamali kumanyiswa hotohoto mala yimonga, mkumbukayi Bambu cheavasangwili vandu va Isilaeli na kuvawusa pamulima wa Misili, nambu mwanakandahi avakomili vala vavangasadika.
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 )
Na, vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vevangakola uhotola wavi vakaleka pandu pavi pevavikiwi na Chapanga, Chapanga avakungili kwa minyololo magono goha gangali mwishu na pachitita ng'ong'olo vilindila ligono lila likulu la uhamula. (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 )
Kangi mkumbuka Sodoma na Gomola, na milima ya papipi yaki, vakolonjinji vaki vakitili chenicho ngati chevakitili vamitumu vala, vakitili ukemi na kulanda mambu ga muhiga yavi gegibeswa ndi vapewili uhamula wa kutagwa mumotu wangajimika wa magono goha gangali mwishu, muni yivya liwuliwu kwa vandu voha. (aiōnios )
8 Yet in the same way these people, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the celestial beings.
Mewawa cheyavili kwa vandu ava. Njozi zavi zikuvalongosa mukuzihakasa higa zavi vene, kuuvevesa uhotola wa Chapanga na kuliga vajumbi vevana ukulu wa kunani.
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!’
Hati Mikaeli, mtumu mkulu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akitili lepi chenicho. Mung'omo pagati yaki na Setani ndava ya higa ya Musa, Mikaeli alingili lepi kumuhamula Setani kwa maligu, ndi ajovili, “Bambu mwene ndi akuywangila.”
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.
Nambu vandu ava viliga vindu vyangavimanya. Gavili mambu gevagamanyili nambu vikita changali kuholalela ngati hinyama chehikita changali luhala. Na mambu ago gakuvahalabisa vene.
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.
Yati vakuchikolela! Vandu venavo vevakuyilanda njila yila ya Kaini. Ndava ya kugana mashonga, vakujiyingisi mukubuda kwa Balaamu. Vang'anamwiki ngati Kola cheang'anamwiki na vakomiwi ngati Kola cheakomiwi.
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;
Vandu venavo vibwela mu mselebuko winu wa chakulya wewulangisa uganu venavo ndi vakuyogopwa ndava kwa matendu gavi gahakau vileta soni na uhakau, vavili ngati vadimaji vevakujiyukutisa vene. Viwanangana na mahundi gegikang'wa na chimbungululu vavili ngati mikongo yangali matunda lukumbi lwa mabenu yeyitupuliwi na kuyuma neju.
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 )
Vandu avo vavi ngati mtimbuganu wa nyanja na mambu gavi gahakau gilolekana ngati lihuluhulu. Vavi ngati ndondo zeziyugayuga zezivikiwi na Chapanga pandu pa chitita ng'ong'olo cha magono goha gangali mwishu. (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,
Henoki, ndi chiveleku cha saba kuhumila Adamu mbaka Enoki, awusi malovi ga ulota panani ya venavo, kujova yuwanila Bambu ibwela na vamitumu vaki va kunani vamsopi vangavalangika,
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!’
muni avahamula vandu voha, na kuvapela mbunu voha vevakumbudila Chapanga, ndava ya matendu gavi gahakau gevakitili na mambu gahaku gevajovili ga kumliga Chapanga.
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.
Vandu ava vanamang'ung'uta na kuvajova vandu vangi, vitama kwa kulanda mnogo wavi uhakau, vimeka na kujilangisa kuvya vene ndi vandu vabwina, na kuvalumba vandu vangi, muni vapatayi vindu kuhuma kwavi.
17 But you should, dear friends, recall what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Nambu nyenye, vankozi vangu, mugakumbuka malovi gagalongaliwi kutumbula na mitumu va Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
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.’
Vavajovili, mu magono gamwishu yati vihumila vandu vangamsadika Chapanga vandu vevilongoswa na mnogo wavi uhakau vandu avo yati vakuvavevesa.
19 These are the people – animal and unspiritual – who cause divisions.
Vandu venavo ndi vavileta mpechenganu, vandu vevilanda mnogo uhakau wa mulima wevavelikiwi nawu, vavi lepi na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
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,
Nambu nyenye, vankozi vangu, mjijenga mwavene mu mkingisa wa sadika yinu. Myupa kwa Chapanga kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
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 )
Na kutama muuganu wa Chapanga, mumlindila Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu avapela wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu mulipyana laki. (aiōnios )
22 To some show pity, because they are in doubt. ‘Drag them out of the fire,’ and save them.
Muvahengela lipyana vandu vangi vevivagaya,
23 To others show pity, but with caution, hating the clothing polluted by their touch.
muvasangula vandu vangi mumotu wa uhamula kwa kuvanyakula, kangi muvahengela lipyana vangi kwa kujiyangalila mwavene, muzivenga hati nyula zavi zezina mabala ga mnogo uhakau.
24 To him who is able to guard you from falling, and to bring you into his glorious presence, blameless and rejoicing –
Chapanga mweihotola kuvahengela ulonda mkoto kugwa changali kubuda, na kuvapeleka nyenye mbaka muukulu waki nakwa luheku luvaha changali kubuda kwaki
25 to the one God, our Savior, 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 )
mwene mweavi Chapanga, msangula witu kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu Bambu witu. Uvya ukulu na unkosi makakala na uhotola kuhumila kutumbula kwakona kuwumbwa mulima hati hinu na magono goha gegibwela gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn )
