Judah, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, and brother of Jacob, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Yeshua the Messiah:
2 Amenuveve, ŋutifafa kple lɔlɔ̃ nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ me.
May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
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, 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 holy ones.
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 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, Yeshua the Messiah.
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.
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.
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)
Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgement 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 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 g166)
8 Nenema ke drɔ̃ekula siawo ƒo ɖi woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋutilãwo, tsi tsitre ɖe dziɖulawo ŋu, eye woƒoa nu vɔ̃ le dziƒodɔlawo ŋu.
Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
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!”
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!”
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 whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.
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 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.
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 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;
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)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (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,
About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
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 judgement 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.”
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 and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 Ke nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, miɖo ŋku nya siwo míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe apostolowo gblɔ da ɖi la dzi.
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
18 Wogblɔ na mi be, “Le ɣeyiɣi mamlɛawo me la, fewuɖulawo ava, ame siwo adze woawo ŋutɔ ƒe dzodzro vɔ̃wo yome.”
They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking 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 are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
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 you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
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 God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mikpɔ nublanui na ame siwo le ɖi kem le wo ɖokuiwo me.
On some have compassion, making a distinction,
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 some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained 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 to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great 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 God our Saviour, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
