Yihuda 1
1 Taani Yihudi, Yesuus Kiristtoosa aylley, Yayqooba ishay; Xoossay xeegidayssatas, Xoossaa Aaway doseyssatasinne Yesuus Kiristtoosan naagettidayssatas ha dabddaabbiya xaafays.
Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James: To those who are in God the Father, enfolded in His love, and kept for Jesus Christ, and called.
2 Maarotethi, sarotethinne siiqoy hinttew kumo.
May mercy, peace and love be abundantly granted to you.
3 Ta siiqo ishato, nuuni issife shaakettiya atotethaabaa hinttew xaafanaw taani daro amottas. Shin ammaniyaa asaas issitohonne wurssethi gakkanaw imettida ammanuwas olettana mela hinttena zorashe xaafanayssi taw koshshiyabaa gidis.
Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.
4 Entta pirdday benippe xaafettidi uttida, issi issi asati oonikka eronna hintte giddo gelidosona. Entti Xoossaa eronnayssata, nu Xoossaa aadho keehatethaa laymatanaw go7ettiya oge oothidi ekkoosona. Ba xalaala kawo gidida, nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa kaddoosona.
For certain persons have crept in unnoticed--men spoken of in ancient writings as pre-destined to this condemnation--ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God into an excuse for immorality, and disown Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.
5 Shin hintte ha ubbaa eriyabaa gidikkoka, Goday Isra7eele asaa Gibxe biittaafe waati kessidaakko, qassi guyeppe ammanonnayssata dhayssidayssa ta hinttena akeekisanaw koyays.
I desire to remind you--although the whole matter is already familiar to you--that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but afterwards destroyed those who had no faith.
6 Bantta de7iyasuwa aggidi, banttaw imettida maata naagiboonna kiitanchchota, gita pirdda gallasay gakkanaw Xoossay entta dhumaappe garssan merinaa santhalaatan qachchi wothis. (aïdios g126)
And angels--those who did not keep the position originally assigned to them, but deserted their own proper abode--He reserves in everlasting bonds, in darkness, in preparation for the judgement of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Hessada, Soodomenne Gamoora asay entta matan de7iya katamatan de7iya asay laymatidosona; laymatethara gayttiya tunatethaa oothidosona. Entti merinaa taman waayettanayssatas leemiso gididosona. (aiōnios g166)
So also Sodom and Gomorrah--and the neighboring towns in the same manner--having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing. (aiōnios g166)
8 Hessadakka, ha amuhanchchoti bantta asatethaa tunisoosona; maata aawata kadhoosona; salo medhetethata cayoosona.
Yet in just the same way these dreamers also pollute the body, while they set authority at naught and speak evil of dignities.
9 Shin kiitanchchota halaqay Mikaa7eley Muse ahaas Xalahera palamida wode, “Goday nena seero” yaagisippe attin iya bolla cashsha qaala odidi mootanaw koyibeenna.
But Michael the Archangel, when contending with the Devil and arguing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce judgement on him in abusive terms, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you."
10 Shin ha asati banttaw eronnabaa ubbaa cayoosona; qassi entti wozani baynna meheda medhon eriya eray, I enttana dhayssana.
Yet these men are abusive in matters of which they know nothing, and in things which, like the brutes, they understand instinctively--in all these they corrupt themselves.
11 Enttana ayye! Entti Qaa7ela ogiyan bidosona. Miishe koyidi Balaama balan kunddidosona. Qore giya addey Xoossaa bolla denddidayssada entti Xoossaa bolla denddidi dhayidosona.
Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!
12 Ha asati, hintte siiqo gibira miya bessan hinttera uttiya wode yeelli baynna kawushshata. Entti banttana xalaala heemmeyssata. Entti carkkoy efiya iri baynna shaara mela. Qassi ayfe woden ayfe ayfonna, xaphora shodettid, nam77u toho melida mitha mela.
These men--sunken rocks! --are those who share the pleasure of your love-feasts, unrestrained by fear while caring only for themselves; clouds without water, driven away by the winds; trees that cast their fruit, barren, doubly dead, uprooted;
13 Entti hanqettida abbaa zuliya mela bantta pokkuwa goppontteyssata. Entti merinaw sakkana dhumay naagiya toylattiya xoolinttota. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved dense darkness of age-long duration. (aiōn g165)
14 Addaameppe doomidi, laappuntha yeleta gidida Heenokey, ha asatabaa tinbbite odishe, “Hekko, Goday, ba daro mukulu geeshshatara yaana.
It was also about these that Enoch, who belonged to the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "The Lord has come, attended by myriads of His people, to execute judgement upon all,
15 Asa ubbaa pirddana; geellata ubbaa entti oothida iita ooso ubbaa gishonne makkalatethan entti Xoossaa bolla odettida iita odaa ubbaa gisho pirddana” yaagis.
and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the hard words which they, ungodly sinners as they are, have spoken against Him."
16 He asati ubba wode zuuzummeyssatanne oda koyeyssata. Qassi bantta iita amuwaa kaalloosona; banttanan ceeqqosonanne banttana go77iyabaa demmanaw harata sabboosona.
These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of the advantage they can gain.
17 Shin ta ishato, nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa hawaareti kase hinttew odida qaala akeekite.
But as for you, my dearly-loved friends, remember the words that before now were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ--
18 Entti, “Wurssetha wodiyan, bantta amuwaa kaallidi toochcheyssati yaana” yaagidosona.
how they declared to you, "In the last times there shall be scoffers, obeying only their own ungodly passions."
19 He asati asaa giddon shaahotethi medhdheyssata, bantta asho amuwaas haaretteyssatanne Geeshsha Ayyaanay baynnayssata.
These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual.
20 Shin ta ishato, geeshshi gidida hintte ammanuwan hinttena dichchanaw minnite; qassi Geeshsha Ayyaana wolqqan woossite.
But you, my dearly-loved friends, building yourselves up on the basis of your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 Hinttena merinaa de7uwakko gathiya nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa maarotethaa naagishe hinttena Xoossaa siiquwan naagite. (aiōnios g166)
must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
22 Sidhey de7iya asaas qadhettite.
Some, when they argue with you, you must endeavor to convince;
23 Issi issi asata tamappe kessi ekkite. Qassi iita amon tunida entta ma7uwa ixxishe haratas yashshan qadhettite.
others you must try to save, as brands plucked from the flames; and on others look with pity mingled with fear, while you hate every trace of their sin.
24 Hintte kunddonna mela naaganaw borey baynnayssatanne gita ufayssan kumidayssata oothidi ba bonchchuwa sinthan hinttena shiishanaw dandda7iya,
But to Him who is able to keep you safe from stumbling, and cause you to stand in the presence of His glory free from blemish and full of exultant joy--
25 nuna ashshiya issi Xoossaas, nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara bonchchoy, gitatethi, wolqqinne maati, kasekka, ha77ika, merinawukka iyaw gido. Amin7i. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Saviour--through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before all time, is now, and shall be to all the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
