< 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, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called beloved in God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ.
2 Mũroingĩhĩrwo nĩ tha, na thayũ, o na wendani.
Mercy to you, and peace, and divine 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 )
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 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 )
8 O na ningĩ noguo, arooti acio mathũkagia mĩĩrĩ yao ene, na makaregana na wathani, na magacambagia ciũmbe cia kũu igũrũ.
Likewise indeed these dreamers also pollute the flesh, and reject lordship, and blaspheme glories.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 )
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own disgraces; wandering stars, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (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 also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied against these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his myriads of saints,
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 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 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 querulous grumblers, going forth according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaking swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of gain.
17 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ arata akwa endwa, ririkanai ũrĩa atũmwo a Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ maamwĩrire o mbere.
But you, beloved, remember the words which have hitherto been spoken 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, At the last time there will be mockers, walking according to their own lusts after ungodly things.
19 Acio nĩo andũ arĩa mamwamũranagia, arĩa marũmagĩrĩra merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, no matirĩ na Roho.
These are they who are sidetracking [the people], intellectual, 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 you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
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 divine love of God, receiving the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Iguagĩrai tha andũ arĩa marĩ na mathangania,
And some of whom indeed convict, being judged:
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.
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 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 who is able to keep you from falling, and to establish you blameless in the presence of his glory with rejoicing.
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 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 )
