1 Nye, Yuda, Yesu Kristo ƒe dɔla kple Yakobo nɔviŋutsu gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na ame siwo woyɔ, ame siwo Mawu Fofo la lɔ̃, eye wòlé wo ɖe te le Yesu Kristo me:
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called beloved in God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ.
2 Amenuveve, ŋutifafa kple lɔlɔ̃ nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ me.
Mercy to you, and peace, and divine love 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, making all haste to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had need to write to you, exhorting you to agonize 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 certain men have crept in, who long ago were written down to this judgment, ungodly, transforming the grace of God into impurity, even denying Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.
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.
But I wish you to remember, once having known all these things, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, destroyed them that believed riot, the second time:
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 who kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, has he kept in eternal chains unto 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)
as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, in a manner like unto them committing fornication, and going after other flesh, present an example receiving 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 indeed these dreamers also pollute the flesh, and reject lordship, and blaspheme glories.
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 he disputed over the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against him a judgment of blasphemy, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
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 blaspheme so many things as they know not: and so many things as they understand naturally, like irrational animals, in these they are corrupted.
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! because they have gone off in the way of Cain, and in the delusion of Balaam they have been seduced by reward, and they perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
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 rocks in your love-feasts, feasting along with you without fear shepherdizing themselves, clouds without water, driven away by the winds; withered 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 disgraces; wandering stars, for which 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,
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied against these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his myriads of 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 against all, and to convict all the ungodly of them for all the works of their ungodliness which they have impiously done, and for all their hard speeches which they have spoken against him, being ungodly sinners.
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 querulous grumblers, going forth according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaking swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of gain.
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 hitherto been spoken by 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.”
that they said to you, At the last time there will be mockers, walking according to their own lusts after ungodly things.
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 they who are sidetracking [the people], intellectual, 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, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
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 divine love of God, receiving 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 some of whom indeed convict, being judged:
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, seizing them out of the fire; and some pity in their fear, you indeed hating the garment having been spotted by carnality.
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;
But to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to establish you blameless in the presence of his glory with rejoicing.
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 only Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before every age, both now, and unto all the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
