Yahuda 1
1 Yahuda, bawan Yesu Kiristi, ɗan’uwan Yaƙub, Zuwa ga waɗanda aka kira, waɗanda Allah Uba yake ƙauna, waɗanda kuma Yesu Kiristi ya kiyaye.
[I am] Jude. I [serve] Jesus Christ [like] a voluntary slave [MET]. I am a [younger] brother of James, [the leader of all the congregations. I am writing] to you whom [God] has chosen [to belong to him. You are] loved by God [our] Father and protected by Jesus Christ (OR, whom [God] has protected [to present] to Jesus Christ).
2 Jinƙai, salama da kuma ƙauna, su kasance tare da ku a yalwace.
[I pray that] you will continue to [experience] very much [God acting] mercifully toward you, [causing you to have inner] peace, and loving [you].
3 Abokaina ƙaunatattu, ko da yake na yi marmari ƙwarai in rubuta muku game da ceton nan namu, sai na ga ya dace in rubuta, in gargaɗe ku ku tsaya da ƙarfi cikin bangaskiya wadda aka danƙa wa mutane masu tsarki na Allah sau ɗaya tak.
You whom I love, I (was very eager/very much wanted) to write to you about that which we all (share/have in common), which is how ([God/Jesus Christ]) [has] saved [us]. But now I realize that it is necessary [for me] to write to you in order to exhort you to defend the [truth about Christ] that we believe. [Jesus and his apostles] gave that truth once and for all to us who belong to God, [and we must not let it be changed] {[anyone revise/change it]}.
4 Na faɗa haka ne domin waɗansu mutanen da aka rubuta hukuncinsu tun dā sun shiga cikinku a ɓoye. Su fa marasa tsoron Allah ne. Su ne waɗanda suka mai da alherin Allahnmu ya zama dalilin yin fasikanci, suna kuma mūsun Yesu Kiristi wanda shi ne Makaɗaici Mai Iko Duka da kuma Ubangijinmu.
Some people falsely [teach that because] God kindly does for us what we do not deserve, it (does not matter/is all right) if we continue to sin. [Those people show by the way that they conduct their lives] that they do not want to admit/accept that Jesus Christ [is] our only Master and Lord. [It was written] long ago {[Someone] long ago wrote} that [God] would condemn (such ungodly people/people like that whose lives are displeasing to him). But some [of those] people have entered [MET] [like crawling snakes] into your congregations [and oppose the truth about Christ, so you must resist/oppose them].
5 Ko da yake kun riga kun san duk wannan, ina so in tuna muku cewa Ubangiji ya ceci mutanensa daga Masar, duk da haka daga baya ya hallaka waɗanda ba su ba da gaskiya ba.
Although you previously knew all these things, [there are certain things about] which I desire to remind you. [Do not forget that although] the Lord rescued [his people] from Egypt, he later destroyed most of those same people, ones who did not believe [in him].
6 Haka ma mala’ikun da ba su riƙe matsayinsu na iko ba, waɗanda suka bar ainihin mazauninsu, su ne ya tsare a duhu daure da dawwammamun sarƙoƙi don hukunci ta babbar Ranan nan. (aïdios g126)
And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios g126, questioned)
7 Haka ma Sodom da Gomorra da garuruwan da suke kewaye da su, waɗanda su ma suka ba da kansu ga fasikanci da muguwar sha’awar jiki, sun zama misalin waɗanda suke shan hukuncin madawwamiyar wuta. (aiōnios g166)
Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
8 Haka yake da masu mafarke-mafarken nan, gama sun ƙazantar da jikunansu, suka ƙi bin masu mulki, suna ɓata sunan talikan sararin sama.
Similarly, these [ungodly people in your midst] also defile their own bodies [by living immorally], because [they claim/say that God revealed] in visions [that they should act that way]. They refuse to [allow] anyone to have authority over them, and they (revile/speak evil about) [God’s] glorious/wonderful [angels].
9 Kai, ko Mika’ilu babban shugaban mala’iku ma, sa’ad da yake mūsu da Iblis game da gawar Musa, bai yi garajen ɗora masa laifi da baƙar magana ba, sai dai ya ce, “Ubangiji yă tsawata maka!”
When (the devil/Satan) argued with the chief angel, Michael, about [who would take away] the body of [the prophet] Moses [to bury it], Michael did not [do as these teachers of false doctrine do. Even though Michael has much more authority than they do], he did not disrespectfully (revile/say evil things to) Satan and accuse/condemn him. Instead, he [only] said, “[I desire that] the Lord [God] will rebuke you!”
10 Duk da haka mutanen nan suna maganar banza a kan kome da ba su gane ba; kuma abubuwan da suka fahimta bisa ga jiki, kamar dabbobi marasa hankali, waɗannan abubuwa ne suke hallaka su.
But the [ones in your midst] who teach false doctrine (revile/speak evil against) the [spiritual] beings that they do not understand. They also [do the evil things that they desire], things that they know about (naturally/without needing to think), things that they just do without considering [the consequences/results], like animals. So they destroy themselves. [But they will also be punished by God] {[God will also] punish them}.
11 Kaitonsu! Gama sun kama hanyar Kayinu; sun ruga a guje garin neman riba cikin kuskure kamar Bala’am; aka kuma hallaka su cikin tawayen Kora.
[God will do] terrible things to those who teach false doctrine! They conduct their lives [wickedly] like Cain, [who murdered his brother because he was] ([jealous/angry because God accepted his brother’s sacrifice and did not accept his]). These false teachers (devote themselves to [MET] [doing] wrong things [like] Balaam, who [tried to induce God’s people to sin in order to get the money that was offered to him]. They will perish like Korah, who rebelled [against the authority that God gave to Moses].
12 Waɗannan mutane sun zama kamar ƙazanta a taronku na soyayya, suna ta ciye-ciye a cikinku, ba kunya ba tsoro. Su masu kiwo ne da suke ciyar da kansu kawai. Su kamar hadari ne da babu ruwa da iska take kori. Su kamar itatuwa ne, marasa’ya’ya da rani, waɗanda aka tumɓuke, ko kamar itatuwan da aka tumɓuke suka kuma mutu ƙurmus.
Those teachers of false doctrine are [as dangerous to you as] [MET] (hidden rocks on a reef/rocks underneath the surface of the ocean) [are to a boat]. When you gather together [to eat the meals that] help you believers to love each other more and have a closer relationship with each other, they [join you and] carouse shamelessly, caring [only] for themselves [and not for others. Because they do not do anything to help others] [MET], they are [as useless as] clouds that are blown along by the wind {that the wind blows along} but that do not [produce/give] any rain. [They are as disappointing as] [MET] trees that do not produce fruit in the autumn [as we expect them to]. They are not only [spiritually] [MET] dead themselves, [but they are] not [able to cause others to be] alive [spiritually, just like] [MET] trees that have been {that [someone] has} uprooted and [as a result] are unable to produce any fruit.
13 Su kamar raƙuman ruwan teku ne masu hauka, suna taƙama da tumbatsan kumfar kunyarsu. Su kamar taurari ne masu yawo barkatai, waɗanda aka ajiye mugun duhu saboda su har abada. (aiōn g165)
They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn g165, questioned)
14 Enok ma, wanda yake na bakwai daga Adamu, ya yi annabci game da waɗannan mutane cewa, “Duba, Ubangiji yana zuwa da dubu dubban tsarkakansa
Enoch, the sixth [person in the line of people who descended] from Adam, prophesied this about those [teachers of false doctrine]: “Listen carefully to this: The Lord will certainly come with a countless number of his holy [angels] in order
15 don yă yi wa kowa shari’a, yă kuma hukunta duk marasa tsoron Allah game da dukan ayyukansu na rashin tsoron Allah da suka aikata ta hanyar rashin tsoron Allah, da kuma dukan baƙaƙen kalmomin da masu zunubi marasa tsoron Allah suka faɗa game da shi.”
to judge everyone, and to punish all wicked and (ungodly people/people whose lives are displeasing to God) for all the (ungodly things/things that displease God) that they did in (an ungodly way/a way that displeases God), and for all the harsh things that ungodly sinful people have spoken against him.”
16 Waɗannan mutane dai, gunaguni gare su, kullum ganin laifin waɗansu suke yi. Muguwar sha’awa ce kaɗai tunaninsu. Sun cika da banzar magana ta yabon kansu. Suna ruɗin mutane da zaƙin baki don samun ribar kansu.
Those [teachers] of [false doctrine] grumble [about] the [things that God does]. They complain [about what happens to them]. They do the sinful things that their [bodies] desire. They talk boastfully. They (flatter/say nice things to) people, only in order to get [those people to give them the] things that they want.
17 Amma ku abokaina ƙaunatattu, ku tuna da abin da manzannin Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi suka faɗa a dā.
But you people whom I love need to remember the things that were predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ {that the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen}.
18 Sun ce muku, “A kwanakin ƙarshe za a kasance da masu ba’a waɗanda za su bi sha’awace-sha’awacensu na rashin tsoron Allah.”
They told you, “In the final period of time [in which we are now living] there will be people who will laugh at [the truths that God has revealed]. They will do the (ungodly things/things that are displeasing to God) that their [bodies] desire.”
19 Waɗannan mutanen ne, suke kawo rabe-rabe, masu bin abin da jiki yake so, marasa Ruhu.
[That describes] the teachers of false doctrine [well, because] they are the ones who cause divisions among believers. They do what their own minds tell them to do. The Spirit [of God] does not live within them.
20 Amma ku, abokaina ƙaunatattu, ku gina kanku cikin bangaskiyarku mafi tsarki, ku kuma yi addu’a cikin Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
But you people whom I love, (hold/continue to trust) firmly to the very sacred truths that you believe. Pray by [letting] the Holy Spirit enable/empower you.
21 Ku zauna cikin ƙaunar Allah yayinda kuke jira jinƙan Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi don yă kawo ku ga rai madawwami. (aiōnios g166)
Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios g166)
22 Ku ji tausayin waɗanda suke shakka;
Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
23 ku cece waɗansu ta wurin fizge su daga wuta. Ga waɗansu kuma ku ji tausayinsu, amma tare da tsoro, har ma ku yi ƙyamar tufafin da suka ɓata da ayyukansu na jiki.
[Rescue] others from [the influence of those who teach what is false] [MET], [as you would rescue things by] snatching [them from] a fire. Pity those [whom the teachers of false doctrine have completely convinced], but beware that [you yourselves are not influenced by them] {that they do not influence you}. Detest [doing or even thinking about the sins that those people commit, just like you would detest] [MET] touching not only filthy things but the clothes that were stained by those things {that those things stained}.
24 To, yabo yă tabbata a gare shi, shi wanda yake da iko yă tsare ku daga fāɗuwa, yă kuma miƙa ku marasa laifi a gaban ɗaukakarsa da matuƙar farin ciki.
God is able to keep you from ceasing to trust in him (OR, from sinning), and he is able to bring you into his glorious presence. [As you stand before him], there will be nothing [for which] you [will] be condemned {[he can] condemn you}, and you will be rejoicing greatly.
25 Gare shi kuma, shi da yake kaɗai Allah Mai Cetonmu, ta wurin Yesu Kiristi Ubangijinmu, bari ɗaukaka, daraja, iko da mulki, su tabbata a gare shi, tun farkon zamanai, yanzu, da har abada abadin! Amin. (aiōn g165)
He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
