< Jude 1 >
1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James: To those who are in God the Father, enfolded in His love, and kept for Jesus Christ, and called.
Yuda, n'tumwa ghwa Yesu Kristu, ni ndongomunu Yakobo, kwa bha, a bhabhamali kukutibhwa bhaganikibhwa mu K'yara Dadi, ni bhabhatunzibhu kwandbha j'ha Yesu Kiristu:
2 May mercy, peace and love be abundantly granted to you.
rehema ni amani ni upendo fyongesekayi kwa muenga.
3 Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.
Bhalongo bhangu wakati niyele nifwanyeghe kila k'henu kubhayandikila muenga kuhusu bhwokovu bhwa y'hoto twebhoha ikanilondeka kubhayandikila kwa ndabha j'ha kubhashauri ili mushindanilayi kwa bhuaminifu imani ambayo jha yele yimali kukabidhibhwa mara yimonga tu kwa bhaamini.
4 For certain persons have crept in unnoticed--men spoken of in ancient writings as pre-destined to this condemnation--ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God into an excuse for immorality, and disown Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.
Kwa ndabha bhanu fulani bhak'hij'hingisi mu siri kati j'ha muenga - bhanu ambabho bhasopibhu alama kwa ndabha j'ha kuhukumulibhwa - bhanu bhabhabeli kuj'ha bhataua ambabho bhibadili neema j'ha K'yara bhitu kwa ndabha j'ha uheji, ni kum'bela Bwana bhitu muene ni Bwana Yesu Kiristu.
5 I desire to remind you--although the whole matter is already familiar to you--that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but afterwards destroyed those who had no faith.
Henu nilonda kubhakhombosya muenga ingawa kuyele wakati mwamanyili kinofu kuj'ha Bwana abhaokuwili bhanu kuh'oma nchi j'ha Misri, lakini baadaye kubhayangamisya bhala bhoha bhabhabeli kumwamini.
6 And angels--those who did not keep the position originally assigned to them, but deserted their own proper abode--He reserves in everlasting bonds, in darkness, in preparation for the judgement of the great day. (aïdios )
Ni malaika ambabho bhakailendi lepi enzi j'ha bhene lakini bhalekili makao gha bhene maalumu K'yara abhabhek'hili mu minyororo ghya milele mugati mu ngisi ndabha j'ha hukumu j'ha ligono lela libhaha. (aïdios )
7 So also Sodom and Gomorrah--and the neighboring towns in the same manner--having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing. (aiōnios )
Kama yikayele ku Sodoma ni ku Gomora ni miji yayizungukibhu ambabho pia ikayiyikiyingisi yiene mu uasherati tamaa yayibeli kuj'ha ya muandi. Bhabhalasibhu kama mifuano ghya bhala ambabho bhiteseka mu hukumu j'ha muoto bhwa milele. (aiōnios )
8 Yet in just the same way these dreamers also pollute the body, while they set authority at naught and speak evil of dignities.
Hata mebhwa kwa nj'hela y'helay'hela bhalota ndoto abha pia bhichafula mibhele ghya bhene, na bhibteela mamlaka na bhijobha udesi dhidi j'ha bhatukufu.
9 But Michael the Archangel, when contending with the Devil and arguing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce judgement on him in abusive terms, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you."
Lakini hata Mikaeli malaika mmbaha, wakati isindana ni ibilisi ni kulongela ni muene kwa ndabha j'ha m'mbele ghwa Musa, akajaribi lepi kuleta hukumu j'ha udesi dhidi j'ha muene, lakini badala j'ha muene khujobha, “Bwana akubesiayi!”
10 Yet these men are abusive in matters of which they know nothing, and in things which, like the brutes, they understand instinctively--in all these they corrupt themselves.
Lakini bhanu bha bhileta udesi j'ha kyokyokela kyabhabelili kukimanya. Na kyabhabelili kukik'heta- k'jela ambakyo bhanyama bhabhabeli kuya ni luhala yimanyikana kwa silika- agha ndigho ghaghaharibu.
11 Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!
N'ndesi bhene! Kwa kuya bhagendili mu nj'hela j'ha Kaini ni kulikesya la Baalamu. Bhayangamuli mu uasi ghwa Kora.
12 These men--sunken rocks! --are those who share the pleasure of your love-feasts, unrestrained by fear while caring only for themselves; clouds without water, driven away by the winds; trees that cast their fruit, barren, doubly dead, uprooted;
Abha ndo fidonda mu sherehe sya muenga sa lugano, bhisherekela bila soni, bhikilesya tu bhene. Ni mafundii ghaghaduli masi ghaghip'hendibhwa ni mp'hongo, ni mab'hehe ghaghapoluwilii ghabeli kuya ni matunda imalikuy'homa kabhele, yayimali kudupulibhwa mizizi
13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved dense darkness of age-long duration. (aiōn )
Ni manyengha gha munyanja ghaghayele ni njuweghu yilela soni kwa y'homu mwibhene, ndo matondo ghigendegenda ambagho utitubhwa ngisi utunzibhu kwandabha j'ha bhene milele. (aiōn )
14 It was also about these that Enoch, who belonged to the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "The Lord has come, attended by myriads of His people, to execute judgement upon all,
Enoko gha saba mu orodha j'ha Adamu atabiriri kulondekana ni bhene, “Langai! Bwana ahidili ni maelfu gha maelfu gha bhatakatifu bha muene,
15 and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the hard words which they, ungodly sinners as they are, have spoken against Him."
ili akhetyi lihengu panani pa kila munu, ni kubheka hatia bhoha bhabhabelili kun'kesya K'yara panani pa matendo gha bhene ghoha ghabhamalili kubhomba mu njela syasibelili kujha sya kitauwa, ni kwa malobhi ghoha gha ukali ambagho bhabhabelikujha bhatauwa bhaghajobhili dhidi jha muene.”
16 These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of the advantage they can gain.
Abha ndo bhala bhabhidada, bhabhikilombosya ambabho bhikhesya tama sya bhene sya bhuovu, bhikifuna muni, ambabho kwa faida jha bhene bhikofya bhamana.
17 But as for you, my dearly-loved friends, remember the words that before now were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ--
Lakini muenga, bhapenzi, mukhombokayi malobhi ambagho ghajobhibhu muandi ni mitume bha Bwana Yesu Kristu.
18 how they declared to you, "In the last times there shall be scoffers, obeying only their own ungodly passions."
bhajobhili kwa muenga,” Mu wakati bhwa mwishu kubetakujha ni bhanu bhabhidhihaki ambabho bhikesya tamaa sya bhene ambabho syasibelili kujha sya kitauwa.”
19 These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual.
Bhanu abha ndo bhatenganisi, bhitabhwalibhwa ni tamaa sya asili, na bhajhelepi ni Roho.
20 But you, my dearly-loved friends, building yourselves up on the basis of your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
Lakini muenga, bhapenzi, kama kyamukijenga mu amani jha muenga takatifu nesu, ni kama kya mwisoka mu Roho Mtakatifu,
21 must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios )
mukitunzayi mu bhupendo bhwa K'yara, na mulend'el'elayi rehema jha Bwana bhitu Yesu Kristu ambajho jhikabhapela uzima bhwa milele. (aiōnios )
22 Some, when they argue with you, you must endeavor to convince;
Mulasiajhi rehema kwa bhala bhabhajhele ni shaka.
23 others you must try to save, as brands plucked from the flames; and on others look with pity mingled with fear, while you hate every trace of their sin.
Mubhaokolayi bhamana kwa kubhanyakula kuh'oma mu muoto kwa bhamana mulasiajhi huruma kwa kuhofela, mwidada hata liguanda lyalisopibhu lidoa ni mb'ele.
24 But to Him who is able to keep you safe from stumbling, and cause you to stand in the presence of His glory free from blemish and full of exultant joy--
Henu kwa muene jhaibhwesya kubhalenda musikikungufuli ni kubhasababisya mujhemayi palongolo pa utukufu bhwa muene, bila mawaa ni kujha ni furaha mbaha,
25 to the only God our Saviour--through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before all time, is now, and shall be to all the Ages! Amen. (aiōn )
kwa muene K'yara pasima mwokozi kup'etela Yesu Kristu Bwana bhitu, bhutukufu bhujhelayi kwa muene, bhubhaha, bhuwesu ni ngofu kabla jha nyakati syoha, ni henu ni hata milele. Amina. (aiōn )
