Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Amenuveve, ŋutifafa kple lɔlɔ̃ nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ me.
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, (agape) be multiplied.
3 Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, togbɔ be metsi dzi vevie be maŋlɔ agbalẽ na mi tso ɖeɖe si ƒe gomekpɔlawo míenye la ŋuti hã la, edze ŋunye be maŋlɔe na mi, ado ŋusẽ mi be miaʋli xɔse si wotsɔ de asi na ame kɔkɔeawo zi ɖeka hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã la ta.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was necessary for me to write unto you, and exhort you that all of you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 Mele esia gblɔm, elabena ame aɖewo, ame siwo ƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ woŋlɔ da ɖi tso blema ke la va tra wo ɖokuiwo ɖe mia dome dzaa. Wonye mawumavɔ̃la, siwo trɔ míaƒe Mawu la ƒe amenuveve wòzu mɔɖeɖe na ŋunyɔnuwo wɔwɔ, eye wogbe nu le Yesu Kristo, míaƒe dziɖula ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ kple Aƒetɔ la gbɔ.
For there are certain men crept in unexpectedly, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Togbɔ be mienya esiawo katã xoxo hã la, medi be maɖo ŋku edzi na mi be Aƒetɔ la ɖe eƒe dukɔ tso Egiptenyigba dzi, gake emegbe la, etsrɔ̃ ame siwo mexɔ edzi se o.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though all of you once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 Ke mawudɔla siwo melé woƒe bubuteƒe me ɖe asi o, ke boŋ wogblẽ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe aƒe ɖi la, esiawoe wòde gae ɖe viviti me, eye wotsɔ gakɔsɔkɔsɔ mavɔ de wo hena ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ le Ŋkekegã la dzi. (aïdios g126)
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Nenema ke Sodom kple Gomora kple du siwo ƒo xlã wo la tsɔ wo ɖokuiwo dzra na ŋutilãmeŋunyɔnuwo wɔwɔ kple agbe vlo nɔnɔ. Wonye ame siwo le fu kpem le dzomavɔ ƒe tohehe me la ƒe kpɔɖeŋu. (aiōnios g166)
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Nenema ke drɔ̃ekula siawo ƒo ɖi woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋutilãwo, tsi tsitre ɖe dziɖulawo ŋu, eye woƒoa nu vɔ̃ le dziƒodɔlawo ŋu.
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Mawudɔlagã Maikel gɔ̃ hã, esi wònɔ nya hem kple Abosam tso Mose ƒe ŋutilã kukua ŋuti la, mete ŋu do dzi gblɔ nya vɔ̃ aɖeke ɖe eŋuti o, ke ɖeko wògblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ la aka mo na wò!”
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke you.
10 Gake ame siawo ya ƒoa nu kple dzugbe ɖe nu sia nu si gɔme womese o la ŋuti, eye nu sia nu si gɔme wose to seselelãme me abe lã siwo mebua ta me o ene la, nu siawo kee nye nu siwo gblẽa wo dome.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Babaa na wo! Woto Kain ƒe mɔ; woti viɖe yome hege ɖe Balaam ƒe vodada me, eye wotsrɔ̃ wo le Kora ƒe aglãdzedze la me.
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 Ame siawo nye ɖiƒonuwo le hamea ƒe lɔlɔ̃nuɖuƒewo. Woɖua nu kpli mi ŋumakpetɔe, wonye alẽkplɔla siwo nyia woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo ko. Wole abe lilikpo siwo medzaa tsi o, eye ya lɔa wo ɖe enu ene. Wole abe kelemeti siwo metse ku o, eye woho wo da ɖi eye woku zi eve la ene.
These are spots in your feasts of love, (agape) when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Wole abe ƒutsotsoe siwo dze agbo hele woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋukpefutukpɔwo ɖem ɖe go la ene. Wole abe ɣletivi siwo le tsatsam, esiwo woɖo viviti tsiɖitsiɖi da ɖi na tegbetegbe la ene. (aiōn g165)
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Enɔk, ame si nye dzidzime adrelia tso Adam dzi la gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe ame siawo ŋu be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Aƒetɔ la gbɔna kple eƒe dɔla kɔkɔe akpeakpewo,
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints,
15 ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame sia ame, ne wòabu fɔ mawumavɔ̃lawo ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo katã wowɔ le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi hekpe ɖe nya vlo siwo katã nu vɔ̃ wɔla siawo gblɔ ɖe eya amea ŋuti la ta.”
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 Ame siawo nye liʋĩliʋĩlĩlawo kple ame siwo kpɔa vodada le nu sia nu ŋu. Wodzea woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nudzodzro vɔ̃wo yome, woƒoa adegbe le woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo ŋu, eye wokafua amewo alakpatɔe hena woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nyui.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 Ke nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, miɖo ŋku nya siwo míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe apostolowo gblɔ da ɖi la dzi.
But, beloved, remember all of you the words (rhema) which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 Wogblɔ na mi be, “Le ɣeyiɣi mamlɛawo me la, fewuɖulawo ava, ame siwo adze woawo ŋutɔ ƒe dzodzro vɔ̃wo yome.”
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 Ame siawoe nye ame siwo dea mama mia dome, ame siwo dzea ŋutilã ƒe nukpɔkpɔwo yome, eye Gbɔgbɔ la mele wo me o.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. (pneuma)
20 Ke miawo ya la, nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, mitu mia ɖokuiwo ɖo le miaƒe xɔse kɔkɔetɔ kekeake me, eye mido gbe ɖa le Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la me.
But all of you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, (pneuma)
21 Mitsɔ mia ɖokuiwo de Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃ la me esi miele míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe nublanuikpɔkpɔ lalam be wòakplɔ mi ayi agbe mavɔ la mee. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love (agape) of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mikpɔ nublanui na ame siwo le ɖi kem le wo ɖokuiwo me.
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 Miɖe ame bubuwo tso dzo me, eye mixɔ na wo. Mikpɔ nublanui na wo kple vɔvɔ̃. Milé fu awu si ƒo ɖi to ŋutilã ƒe ɖiƒoƒo me gɔ̃ hã.
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Azɔ, eya ame si tea ŋu léa mí ɖe asi be míagadze anyi o, be wòakɔ mi aɖo eƒe ŋutikɔkɔefiazikpui la ŋgɔ kpɔtsɔtsɔmanɔŋui le dzidzɔ gã me lae mede mi asi na;
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 Mawu ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ la, ame si nye míaƒe Ɖela la, eya ko tɔe nye ŋutikɔkɔe, fianyenye, ŋusẽ kple dziɖuɖu to Yesu Kristo míaƒe Aƒetɔ la me le dzidzimewo katã me, tso fifia yi ɖase ɖe mavɔ me! Amen. (aiōn g165)
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
