< Juda 1 >
1 Juda, muhikana wa Jesu Chrisite, ni mwanche wa Jakobo, kwabo bansumpitwe, Basakiwa kwa Ireeza Fumwetu, mi babikilwe Jesu Chrisite:
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Mi chisemo ni nkozo, lato zibe zingi kwenu.
May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Yosakiwa, niba kutabele kuku ñolela choku hazwa kutu kopanelwe, Ni swanela kuku ño kukolisa kwa ko kunyanda choku tundamena kulyila i ntumelo iba kenzi kuba lumeli bose. Bamwi bakwame bali kopenye mukati kenu.
Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
4 Aba bakwame ba swaitwe kuya kuku nyaziwa. Aba bakwame basena Ireeza basinya chisemo cha Ireeza mubukata, mi bakana Muyendisi ni Simwine, Chrisite Jesu.
For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Hanu nimi lakaleza-niha kuba bulyo maba kuzizi hande-linu Simwine aba hazi batu mwi nkanda ya Egepita, mi kuma mani mani aba shinyi abo nsena baba kuzumina.
Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe.
6 Ni mañiloi sena aba liwongozi mubunduna bwa mata awo, kono aba siiyi chibaka china hande chawo-Ireeza wa sumine ni mawenge akuya kusamani, mwi fifi luli, kulindila izuba lye nkatulo inkando. (aïdios )
Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgement of the great day. (aïdios )
7 Kuswana feela sina nji Sodoma ni Gomorrah ni mileneñi iva zimbulukite, Awo alikopene mumu hupulo obushahi nikuzwila habusu nimi hupulo ye chivi. Batondeza mutala wavo vanyanda ikoto yamulilo we kuya kusamani. (aiōnios )
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 Ili mwinzila iswana, ava mwakulota kwavo va silafaza mibili ya bo. Ba lyisa mata, mi bawamba zintu zamapa zilwisa mubuso we nkanya.
Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
9 Linu Mikaele induna ya mañiloi, haba ku kanana ni Diabulosi zomu bili wa mushe chamu kalimela, sazi uliki kuleta ikatulo ya mapa ku amana naye. Kono chowamba, “Linu Simwine aku kalimele!”
But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”
10 Linu aba bantu bawamba mapa kuzintu sonse zibasa zuwisisi. Niziba zuwisisa-chinzi zinyolozi zisa hupuli hande chezizi-izi njizona zi baba sinyi.
But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.
11 Bumai kubali! Linu baba yendi mwinzila ya Kaine, hape baba bikwa mwa Balaam ma fosisa kuwana. Baba fwili mwa kora musandukili.
Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.
12 Aba chibona balipatite beyalila mu mikiti yenu ye lato. Linu mukiti iswabisisa, balilela abo bene. Linu makope asena mezi, ahindiwa luhuho. Linu zikuni zamaliha zisena zichalantu-zifwile tobele, zi zwile kumihisi.
These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Vaswana ili mandinda omwi wate akalihite, apanga ziswabisisa awo ene. Inkani zilyangene, linu kusiha kwe fifi kuba kubikilwe kuya kule. (aiōn )
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn )
14 Enoke, yokwana iyanza limwina kuzwilila kwa Adama, baba polofitwa ku amana nabo, Kuwamba, “Lole! Simwine ukeza ni zikiti kiti zabakwe zijolola.
About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
15 Ukeza kukuntenda inkatulo kuzumwi ni zumwi. Ukeza kuku kalimela bantu bose basena Ireeza chamisebezi yose iba bapangi mwinzila isali ya Ireeza, nimazwi ose mabi ababa wambi bantu bavi basena Ireeza ku amana naye.”
to execute judgement on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
16 Aba jiba kanana, batongoka, bechilila mihupulo yabo mibi. Bakuhuweleza chakuli tundubula, abo, balumba bantu kuti bawane, zibasaka.
These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 Kono inwe, yosakwa, muhupule manzi aba wambiwa kale cha muapositola wa Simwine Chirisite Jesu watu.
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18 Baba wambi kwako, “Mwinako zama mani mani mukube niba nyefuli be chilila intakazo zabo zisena Ireeza.”
They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
19 bantu kabena luhuho. Abo be fasi, mi kabena luhuho.
These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 Kono inwe, yosakwa, mulizake inwe mubene che ntumelo i jolola, mi mulapele cho luhuho lujolola.
But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
21 Mulibike mwi lato lya Ireeza, nikulindila i lato la Simwine Chrisite Jesu iku letela buhalo busamani. (aiōnios )
Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Chisemo cheve kwabo basa zumini.
On some have compassion, making a distinction,
23 Muhaze bamwi kakuba zwisa mu mulilo. Mutoye nihaiba chizwato che nyama.
and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
24 Linu kwali yenki yo wola kuti tusa kuku sawa, mi niku tuwolisa kuzimana habusu ye nkanya yakwe, nikusena kunyazahala nimwi ntabo,
Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
25 Kwa Ireeza yenke ni muhazi kuya ka Chrisite Jesu Simwine wetu, kube ni kanya, bulena, kubusa, ni mata, inako yose yamamani mani, linu, ni kuya kuma mani mani. Amen. (aiōn )
to God our Saviour, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn )
