Jud 1
1 Jud, odibo Jisọs Kraịst, na nwanne Jemis, Na-edegara ndị niile a kpọrọ, ndị ahụrụ nʼanya nʼime Chineke, bụ Nna, na ndị nọkwa nʼokpuru nchebe Jisọs Kraịst akwụkwọ ozi a:
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Ka ebere na udo na ịhụnanya bara unu ụba.
May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
3 Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, ebe ọ na-anụ m ọkụ nʼobi idere unu akwụkwọ banyere nzọpụta ahụ anyị nwekọrọ nʼotu, ma ahụrụ m mkpa ọ dị idere unu akwụkwọ a, ịrịọ unu ka unu guzosie ike buo agha ichebe okwukwe ahụ, nke e nyefere ndị nsọ nʼaka idebe.
Beloved, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I had to write to you to exhort you to struggle earnestly for the faith that was entrusted once for all to the holy people.
4 Nʼihi na ụfọdụ mmadụ, bụ ndị e dere ihe banyere ọmụma ikpe dịrị ha, siterị nʼoge gara aga, ezobatala nʼetiti unu. Ha bụ ndị na-adịghị asọpụrụ Chineke, ndị na-agbanwe amara Chineke anyị, mee ya ka ọ bụrụ ohere ha nwere ibi ndụ ịkwa iko, na nke ịgọnarị Jisọs Kraịst, onye naanị ya bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu na Onyenwe.
For certain men have slipped in secretly among you. These are men who were marked out for condemnation. They are ungodly men who have changed the grace of our God into sensuality, and who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Ọ bụ ezie na unu maa ihe ndị a niile, ma achọrọ m ichetara unu otu Onyenwe anyị si zọpụta ndị ya site nʼala Ijipt, ma mesịa laa ndị niile na-ekweghị ekwe nʼiyi.
Now I wish to remind you—although once you fully knew it—that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but that afterward he destroyed those who did not believe.
6 Ndị mmụọ ozi nupuru isi, ndị na-anọgideghị nʼọnọdụ e nyere ha, kama ha si nʼebe obibi ha gbapụ. O jirila igwe kee ha agbụ ebighị ebi, debe ha nʼọchịchịrị nʼime ala, ebe ha ga-anọ ruo ụbọchị ikpe ahụ dị egwu. (aïdios g126)
Also angels who did not keep to their own position of authority, but who left their proper dwelling place—God has kept them in everlasting chains, in utter darkness, for the judgment on the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Otu a kwa, Sọdọm na Gọmọra na obodo niile gbara ha gburugburu, bụ ndị nyefere onwe ha na ndụ ịkwa iko nakwa omume ibi ndụ ọjọọ dị iche iche nke anụ ahụ, bụ ihe ịdọ aka na ntị nye ndị mmadụ site nʼahụhụ ha tara nʼihi mmehie nʼime ọkụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
It is just like Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, which also indulged themselves in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desires. They were displayed as examples of those who suffer the punishment in eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Nʼụzọ dị otu a kwa, ndị a na-emerụ anụ ahụ ha nʼirọ nrọ ha, na-ajụkwa ike ọchịchị niile, ma na-ekwulukwa ndị ahụ jupụtara nʼebube nke anya na-adịghị ahụ.
Yet in the same way, these dreamers also pollute their bodies. They reject authority, and they say slanderous things against the glorious ones.
9 Ma Maikel onyeisi ndị mmụọ ozi, mgbe o guzogidere ekwensu na-arụrịtakwa ụka banyere ozu Mosis, ya onwe ya enweghị anya ike ịma ya ikpe nʼihi okwu nkwulu, kama ọ sịrị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị baara gị mba.”
But even Michael the archangel, when he was arguing with the devil and disputing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous judgment against him. Instead he said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”
10 Ma ndị a na-ekwulu ihe niile ọbụla ha na-aghọtaghị. Dịka ụmụ anụmanụ a na-azụghị azụ, ha na-eme ihe ọbụla dị ha mma nʼanya si otu a na-ala onwe ha nʼiyi.
But these people slander whatever they do not understand, and what they do understand—what unreasoning animals know by instinct—these are what destroy them.
11 Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ha, nʼihi na ha soro nzọ ụkwụ Ken, nyefee onwe ha na ndahie Belam nʼihi ihe nrite nʼuru, ma laa nʼiyi na nnupu isi Kora.
Woe to them! For they have walked in the way of Cain and have plunged into Balaam's error for profit. They have perished in Korah's rebellion.
12 Ndị a bụ ihe ntụpọ nʼetiti unu nʼoge mmemme oriri ịhụnanya unu, ha na-eso unu na-erikọ nri na-atụghị egwu ọbụla. Ha bụ ndị na-elekọta naanị onwe ha. Ha dị ka igwe ojii nke na-adịghị ezo mmiri, nke ifufe na-ebugharị. Ha bụ osisi a na-ahụ nʼoge ọkọchị nke na-adịghị amị mkpụrụ, nke e si na mgbọrọgwụ ya hoputa, nke nwụrụ anwụ ugboro abụọ.
These are the ones who are hidden reefs in your love feasts, when they feast with you shamelessly—shepherds who only feed themselves. They are clouds without rain, carried along by winds. They are autumn trees without fruit—twice dead, torn up by the roots.
13 Ha bụ ebili mmiri na-amagharị nʼosimiri, nke na-asọpụta ihere ha dịka ụfụfụ, kpakpando na-awagharị awagharị, bụ ndị nke a kwadooro ebe kachasị ịgba ọchịchịrị ruo ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
They are violent waves in the sea, foaming out their own shame. They are wandering stars, for whom the gloom of thick darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 Ọ bụ nʼihi ihe ndị a ka Enọk, onye bụ agbụrụ nke asaa site nʼAdam buru nʼamụma banyere ha sị, “Lee! Onyenwe anyị na-abịa, ya na puku kwụrụ puku ndị nsọ ya.
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them, saying, “Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones.
15 Ọ na-abịa ikpe mmadụ niile ikpe, na ịtụ ha niile mmehie ajọ omume niile ha nʼanya, bụ nke ha mere nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi. Tinyere okwu ọjọọ niile nke ndị mmehie ndị na-adịghị asọpụrụ Chineke kwuru megide ya.”
He is coming to execute judgment on everyone. He is coming to convict all the ungodly of all the works they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
16 Ndị a bụ ndị na-atamu ntamu oge niile, ndị o nweghị ihe ọbụla na-adị ha mma. Ndị na-agbaso agụ ihe ọjọọ niile nke anụ ahụ ha chọrọ. Ha na-anya isi banyere onwe ha, na-aja ndị ọzọ mma; ka ha nwee ike nweta ihe ha na-achọ nʼaka ha.
These are grumblers, complainers, who follow their evil desires. They are loud boasters, who, for their own advantage, flatter others.
17 Ma unu, ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, chetanụ ihe ndị ozi Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst kwuru na ha ga-emezu.
But you, beloved, remember the words that were spoken in the past by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18 Nʼihi na ha sịrị unu, “Nʼọgwụgwụ oge ahụ, ndị na-eji ihe niile na-emere ihe ọchị ga-adị. Ndị na-agbaso agụ ihe ọjọọ niile nke anụ ahụ ha chọrọ.
They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
19 Ọ bụ ndị anụ ahụ ha na-achị, ndị na-enweghị Mmụọ Nsọ nʼime ha, bụ ndị na-eweta nkewa nʼetiti unu.”
It is these who cause divisions; they are worldly and they do not have the Spirit.
20 Ma unu, ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, nọgidenụ na-ewuli onwe unu elu na ntọala okwukwe unu dịkarịsịrị nsọ. Na-ekpekwanụ ekpere nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ.
But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith, and pray in the Holy Spirit.
21 Doonụ onwe unu nʼokpuru ịhụnanya Chineke, dịka unu na-echere ebere Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst nke na-eduba na ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in God's love, and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings you eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Gosinụ ụfọdụ ndị na-enwe obi abụọ ebere.
Be merciful to those who doubt.
23 Zọpụtanụ ndị ọzọ site nʼịgụpụta ha nʼọkụ. Nʼebe ndị ọzọ nọ gosinụ ha obi ebere, kama jirinụ ịtụ egwu mee nke a, kpọọnụ ọ bụladị uwe nke anụ ahụ mmehie merụrụ asị.
Save others by snatching them out of the fire. To others be merciful with fear. Hate even the garment stained by the flesh.
24 Ugbu a, nye onye ahụ pụrụ ichebe unu, ka unu ghara ịda, onye pụrụ ịkpọbata unu nʼihu ya dị ebube nʼọnọdụ enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla nʼoke ọṅụ
Now to the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to cause you to stand before his glorious presence without blemish and with great joy,
25 ka otuto, na ịdị ukwuu, na ike, na ikike ọchịchị; dịrị Onye naanị ya bụ Chineke, Onye nzọpụta anyị, site na Jisọs Kraịst Onyenwe anyị, tupu nʼọgbọ niile ebido, ka ọ dịrị ya ugbu a, na mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, before all time, now, and forevermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
