Yahuda 1
1 Yahuza, bawan Yesu Almasihu kuma dan'uwan Yakubu, zuwa ga kirayayyu, kaunatattu a cikin Allah Uba, kebabbu domin Yesu Kristi:
[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 bari jinkai da salama da kauna su ribabanya a gare ku.
[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 Kaunatattu, ina iyakar kokari in rubuta maku game da ceton mu duka, ya zama dole in gargade ku sosai game da bangaskiya wadda aka mika wa masu bi sau daya tak ba kari.
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 Don wasu mutane sun sadado sun shigo da sanda a asirce wadanda an rubuta game da hukuncin su tun da dadewa-mutane marasa imani, wanda suka canza alherin Allah zuwa lalata, kuma sun karyata makadaicin Shugaba da Ubangijinmu, Yesu Almasihu.
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 Ina so in tunashe ku-ko da shike kun rigaya kun san abin, da cewa Allah ya ceci wasu mutane daga kasar masar, amma daga baya ya hallaka wadanda basu 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 Kuma mala'iku wadanda ba su rike matsayin ikon su ba, amma suka bar wurin zaman su na ainihi-Allah ya tsare su a sarka na har'abada a cikin bakin duhu domin babban ranar shari'a. (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 Suna nan kamar Saduma da Gwamrata da kuma biranen da ke kewaye da su, wadanda suka ba da kansu ga fasikanci suna bin sha'awoyi wanda ba na dabi'a ba. Aka mai da su abin misalin wadanda suka sha wuta mara matuka. (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 kuma, wadannan masu mafarkan suna lalatar da jikinsu. Suna raina masu mulki, kuma suna fadar miyagun abubuwa a kan masu daukaka.
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 Amma ko Mika'ilu babban mala'ika, a lokacin da yake jayyaya da muhawara da shaidan a kan gawar Musa, bai kuskura ya fadi wata kalmar hukunci a kansa ba. Maimakon haka ya ce, “Bari Ubangiji ya tsauta 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 Amma waddannan mutane suna kawo batanci game da dukan abin da ba su gane ba. Wadannan mutane masu halin dabbobi ne, suna kwa jawo wa kansu hallaka kenan.
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 Kaiton su! Domin sun bi hanyar Kayinu, kuma sun tsunduma cikin kuskuren Bal'amu domin samun riba. Suka hallaka cikin husuma irin ta 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 Wadannan hatsari ne a boye cikin bukukuwan ku na kauna. Suna shagali ba kunya ba tsoro, suna ciyar da kansu kadai. Su holokon hadari ne marar ruwa, wanda iska ke korar sa. Su itatuwa ne shirim ba yaya, mattatu ribi biyu, tumbukakku tun daga saiwa.
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 rakuman teku ne masu hauka, suna fahariya cikin kumfar kunyar su. Su kamar taurari ne masu tartsatsi. Wadanda aka tanada wa duhu baki kirin na 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 Ahnuhu, mutum na bakwai daga Adamu, ya yi anabci game da su cewa, “Duba, Ubangiji zai zo da tsarkakan sa dubun dubbai.
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 Domin ya zartar da hukunci a kan dukan kowa, ya kuma cakune dukan marasa da'a a cikin dukan ayyukan su na rashin da'a wanda suka aikata a hanyar da bata cancanta ba, da kuma kalmomi masu kaifi da masu zunubi suka fada 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 Wadannan masu cecekuce ne, masu gunaguni, wadanda ke bin sha'awar su ta mugunta, masu tinkaho da fahariya, masu bambadanci domin 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, kaunatattu, ku tuna da kalmomin da manzannin Yesu Almasihunmu suka gaya maku tun da.
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 maku, “A cikin kwanaki na karshe, za a samu masu ba'a, wadanda ke bin sha'awoyin su na rashin ibada,”
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 Wadannan mutane masu haddasa tsatsaguwa ne, kuma su yan duniya ne, ba su kuma da 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, kaunatattu, ku gina kanku a cikin mafificiyar bangaskiyar ku mai daraja, kuma kuna addu'a 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 rike kanku a cikin kaunar Allah, kuna kuma jiran jinkan Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu wanda ke kawo rai na har abada. (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 nuna jinkai ga masu shakku. Ceci wadansu ta wurin fizge su daga wuta.
Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
23 Ga wadansu kuma ku nuna jinkai da rawar jiki, kuyi kyamar koda tufafin jikinsu ma.
[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 Yanzu, zuwa ga wanda yake da iko ya hana ku tuntube, ya kuma sa ku tsaya a gaban madaukakiyar kasancewarsa, marasa abin zargi da kuma murna mai yawa,
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 zuwa ga Allah makadaici mai ceton mu ta wurin Yesu Almasihu Ubangijinmu, daukaka, da girma, da mulki, da iko su kasance, kamin dukan lokuta, yanzu, da har abada. 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)
