< Judasi 1 >
1 Nĩ niĩ Judasi, ndungata ya Jesũ Kristũ, na mũrũ wa nyina na Jakubu, Ndĩraandĩkĩra arĩa metĩtwo, o arĩa mendetwo nĩ Ngai Ithe, na makamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Jesũ Kristũ:
Jude, bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called ones beloved in God [the] Father and preserved in Jesus Christ:
2 Mũroingĩhĩrwo nĩ tha, na thayũ, o na wendani.
Mercy to you, and peace, and love be multiplied.
3 Arata akwa endwa, o na gũtuĩka nĩndĩrendete mũno kũmwandĩkĩra ũhoro wa ũhonokio ũrĩa tũgwatanĩire na inyuĩ-rĩ, nĩndĩronire kwagĩrĩire ndĩmwandĩkĩre nĩguo ndĩmũringĩrĩrie mũrũagĩrĩre wĩtĩkio ũrĩa wehokeirwo andũ arĩa aamũre ihinda rĩmwe rĩa kũigana.
Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
4 Nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe arĩa ũhoro wao wagũtuĩrwo ciira waandĩkĩtwo o tene nĩmetoonyereirie na hitho thĩinĩ wanyu. Acio nĩ andũ matetigagĩra Ngai, na nĩmagarũraga Wega wa Ngai witũ ũtuĩke wa kũmetĩkĩria kũhũũra ũmaraya, na magakaanaga Jesũ Kristũ, o we wiki Mũnene na Mwathani witũ.
For certain men have got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly [persons], turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
5 O na mwakorwo nĩmũmenyete ũhoro ũyũ wothe-rĩ, nĩngwenda kũmũririkania atĩ Mwathani nĩakũũrire andũ ake akĩmaruta bũrũri wa Misiri, no thuutha-inĩ akĩniina arĩa matetĩkĩtie.
But I would put you in remembrance, you who once knew all things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of [the] land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed those who had not believed.
6 Nao araika arĩa maaregire gũkindĩria wathani-inĩ wao na magĩtiganĩria kũndũ kwao gwa gũtũũra-rĩ, acio nĩamahingĩire nduma-inĩ, nao moheetwo na mĩnyororo ya tene na tene metereirio ituĩro rĩa ciira wa Mũthenya ũrĩa mũnene. (aïdios )
And angels who had not kept their own original state, but had abandoned their own dwelling, he keeps in eternal chains under gloomy darkness, to [the] judgment of [the] great day; (aïdios )
7 Ningĩ o ũndũ ũmwe nao, Sodomu, na Gomora, na matũũra marĩa maariganĩtie nĩmeneanire harĩ ũmaraya na waganu wa mwĩrĩ ũtarĩ wa ndũire. Acio nĩo maatuĩkire kĩonereria kĩa arĩa maherithagio na mwaki wa tene na tene. (aiōnios )
as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them, committing greedily fornication, in like manner with them, and going after other flesh, lie there as an example, undergoing the judgment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 O na ningĩ noguo, arooti acio mathũkagia mĩĩrĩ yao ene, na makaregana na wathani, na magacambagia ciũmbe cia kũu igũrũ.
Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile [the] flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities.
9 No rĩrĩ, o na Mikaeli, mũraika ũrĩa mũnene, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakararanagĩria mwĩrĩ wa Musa na ngoma-rĩ, ndaigana kũgeria kũmũcambia, no oigire atĩrĩ, “Mwathani arogũkaania!”
But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil he reasoned about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a railing judgment against [him], but said, [The] Lord rebuke thee.
10 No andũ acio-rĩ, marumaga maũndũ mothe marĩa matahotaga kũmenya; namo maũndũ marĩa mamenyete na ũndũ wa mũciarĩre, ta nyamũ iria iteciiragia-rĩ, maũndũ macio nĩmo meniinaga namo.
But these, whatever things they know not, they speak railingly against; but what even, as the irrational animals, they understand by mere nature, in these things they corrupt themselves.
11 Kaĩ makĩrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Marũmĩrĩire njĩra ya Kaini; ningĩ magetoonyia na ihenya ihĩtia-inĩ rĩa Balamu nĩguo mone uumithio; o na makĩniinwo ũremi-inĩ wa gũũkĩrĩra wathani ta Kora.
Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain, and given themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 Andũ acio nĩ imeni rĩrĩa megũũka maruga-inĩ manyu ma wendani, makarĩanĩra na inyuĩ mategwĩtigĩra o na atĩa. Nĩ arĩithi arĩa merĩithagia o ene. Mahaana ta matu matarĩ na mbura, makĩhurutwo nĩ rũhuho; o na ningĩ mahaana ta mĩtĩ ĩtarĩ na matunda hĩndĩ ya kĩmera, ĩmunyĩĩtwo na mĩri ĩkooma biũ.
These are spots in your love-feasts, feasting together [with you] without fear, pasturing themselves; clouds without water, carried along by [the] winds; autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;
13 Mahaana ta makũmbĩ ma iria marĩa matangĩgirĩrĩka, makĩhũyũkaga ciĩko ciao cia thoni ta mũhũũyũ; ningĩ matariĩ ta njata ciũrũũraga, iria ciigĩirwo nduma ĩrĩa ndumanu mũno nginya tene. (aiōn )
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity. (aiōn )
14 Enoku, ũrĩa wa rũciaro rwa mũgwanja kuuma harĩ Adamu, nĩarathire ũhoro ũkoniĩ andũ acio akiuga ũũ: “Atĩrĩrĩ, Mwathani nĩarooka arĩ na andũ ake arĩa atheru ngiri na ngiri
And Enoch, [the] seventh from Adam, prophesied also as to these, saying, Behold, [the] Lord has come amidst his holy myriads,
15 nĩguo atuĩre o mũndũ ciira, na aiguithie kĩhooto andũ othe arĩa matetigĩrĩĩte Ngai, nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciothe cia kũremera Ngai, iria maaneka mategwĩtigĩra Ngai, o na nĩ ũndũ wa ciugo ciothe njũru iria ehia arĩa matamwĩtigĩrĩte manaaria cia gũũkĩrĩra Ngai.”
to execute judgment against all; and to convict all the ungodly of them of all their works of ungodliness, which they have wrought ungodlily, and of all the hard [things] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 Andũ aya nĩangʼongʼori, na a gũcarĩria andũ arĩa angĩ mahĩtia; marũmagĩrĩra merirĩria mao mooru; nĩmegaathaga o ene, na makaheenagĩrĩria andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩguo megune o ene.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of profit.
17 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ arata akwa endwa, ririkanai ũrĩa atũmwo a Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ maamwĩrire o mbere.
But ye, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 Maamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Mahinda ma kũrigĩrĩria-rĩ, nĩgũkagĩa na anyũrũrania arĩa makarũmagĩrĩra merirĩria mao ene matarĩ ma gwĩtigĩra Ngai.”
that they said to you, that at [the] end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses.
19 Acio nĩo andũ arĩa mamwamũranagia, arĩa marũmagĩrĩra merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, no matirĩ na Roho.
These are they who set [themselves] apart, natural [men], not having [the] Spirit.
20 No inyuĩ arata akwa endwa, ikaragai mũkĩongererekaga hinya thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio wanyu ũrĩa mũtheru mũno na mũhooyage mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Roho Mũtheru.
But ye, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 Ikaragai thĩinĩ wa wendo wa Ngai mũgĩetagĩrĩra tha cia Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ nĩguo ikaamũkinyia muoyo-inĩ wa tene na tene. (aiōnios )
keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Iguagĩrai tha andũ arĩa marĩ na mathangania,
And of some have compassion, making a difference,
23 tharai arĩa angĩ kuuma mwaki-inĩ mũmahonokie; arĩa angĩ-rĩ, maiguĩrei tha, mũrĩ na guoya, na mũgĩthũũraga o na nguo ciao iria ciĩkĩrĩtwo maroro nĩ mwĩrĩ mũthaahie.
but others save with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Na rĩu, kũrĩ ũrĩa ũngĩhota kũmũgitĩra mũtikagwe, na kũmũrũgamia mbere ya ũthiũ wake ũrĩa wĩ riiri mũtarĩ na ũũgũ, na mũrĩ na gĩkeno kĩnene:
But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,
25 Ngai we wiki Mũhonokia witũ arogĩa na riiri, na ũkaru, na hinya, o na wathani, thĩinĩ wa Jesũ Kristũ Mwathani witũ, o kuuma kĩambĩrĩria, o na rĩu, na nginya tene na tene! Ameni. (aiōn )
to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen. (aiōn )
