< Jude 1 >
1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
Judha muranda waJesu Kristu, uye munin'ina waJakobho, kune vakaitwa vatsvene muna Mwari Baba, uye vakachengetedzwa muna Jesu Kristu, vakadanwa:
2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Tsitsi kwamuri, nerugare, nerudo, ngazvipamhidzirwe.
3 Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
Vadikanwi, ndichiita kushingaira kwese kukunyorerai zvekuponeswa kwedu tese, zvakange zvakandifanira kukunyorerai, ndichikurudzira kuti murwire rutendo rwakapiwa vatsvene kamwe.
4 For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Nokuti kuna vamwe vanhu vakapinda nekunyangira, vakagara vanyorerwa kupiwa mhosva uku, vasingadi Mwari, vanoshandura nyasha dzaMwari wedu kuita unzenza, uye vachiramba Tenzi umwe wega Mwari, naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
5 Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe.
Asi ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai, kunyange maiziva ichi kamwe, kuti Ishe aponesa vanhu munyika yeEgipita, pashure akazoparadza avo vakange vasingatendi.
6 Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
Nevatumwa vasina kuchengeta ukuru hwavo, asi vakasiya ugaro hwavo pachavo, wakavachengetera kutonga kwezuva guru nezvisungo zvekusingaperi pasi perima. (aïdios )
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
SeSodhoma neGomora, nemaguta akaapoteredza, akazvikumikidza kuupombwe nenzira yakafanana nawo, nekutevera imwe nyama, akaitwa mufananidzo pachena, akatambudzika pakurangwa nemoto usingaperi. (aiōnios )
8 Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
Saizvozvowo neimwe nzira neava vachirota zvirokwazvo vanosvibisa nyama, vachiramba utongi, nekutuka ukuru.
9 But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”
Asi Mikaeri mutumwa mukuru, nguva yaakapokana nadhiabhorosi akakakavara pamusoro pemutumbi waMozisi, haana kushinga kumupa mhosva nemutongo wekutuka, asi wakati: Ishe ngaakutsiure.
10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.
Asi ava vanotuka zvese zvavasingazivi; asi zvese zvavanoziva pachisikirwo, semhuka dzisina pfungwa, vanozviparadza muzvinhu izvi.
11 Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.
Vane nhamo! Nokuti vakafamba nenzira yaKaini, uye vakazviwisira mukutsauka kwaBharami nekuda kwemubairo, vakaparadzwa panharo dzaKora.
12 These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Ava makwapa pamabiko enyu erudo, kana vachipemberera nemwi, vachizvifunda vasina kutya; makore asina mvura, anotinhwa nemhepo; miti yechando, isina zvibereko, yakafa kaviri, yakadzurwa;
13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn )
mafungu egungwa anopengereka, anopupuma nyadzi dzawo pachawo; nyeredzi dzinongombeya, vakachengeterwa kusviba kwerima nekusingaperi. (aiōn )
14 About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
NaEnokiwo wechinomwe kubva kuna Adhamu, wakaporofita zvaivava achiti: Tarira, Ishe wakauya nevatsvene vake zvuru zvamazana,
15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
kuzoita mutongo unopikisa vese, nekupa mhosva vese vavo vasingadi Mwari pamusoro pemabasa avo ese ekusada Mwari, avakaita mukusada Mwari, nepamusoro pezvikukutu zvese vatadzi vasingadi Mwari zvavakataura maererano naye.
16 These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
Ava van'un'uni, vasingagutsikani, vanofamba nekuchiva kwavo; uye muromo wavo unotaura zvekuzvikudza, vachirumbidza vanhu nekuda kwemubairo.
17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Asi imwi vadikanwi, rangarirai mashoko akagara ataurwa nevaapositori vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu;
18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
kuti vakati kwamuri: Panguva yekupedzisira vaseki vachavapo, vachafamba nekuchiva kwavo kwekusada Mwari.
19 These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
Ava ndivo vanozviparadzanisa, ndevechisikirwo, vasina Mweya.
20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
Asi imwi vadikanwi, muchizvivaka parutendo rwenyu rwutsvene-tsvene, muchinyengetera muMweya Mutsvene,
21 Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. (aiōnios )
muzvichengete murudo rwaMwari, muchitarisira tsitsi dzaIshe wedu, Jesu Kristu, kusvikira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios )
22 On some have compassion, making a distinction,
Ivaiwo netsitsi nevamwe muchipa mutsauko,
23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
asi vamwe muvaponese nekutya, muchivabvuta kubva mumoto; muchivenga kunyange nguvo yakasvibiswa nezvinobva panyama.
24 Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
Zvino kuna iye anogona kukuchengetai pasina kugumburwa, nekukuteyai musina chamungapomerwa pamberi pekubwinya kwake mumufaro mukuru,
25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn )
kuna Mwari umwe wakachenjera, Muponesi wedu, ngakuve nekubwinya uye ukuru, simba uye umambo, ikozvinowo narinhi kwese. Ameni. (aiōn )
