Jide 1
1 Ngai Jide, mowumbu ya Yesu-Klisto mpe ndeko ya Jake; Epai ya bato oyo Nzambe abenga, ba-oyo Nzambe Tata alingaka, mpe ba-oyo babatelami mpo na Yesu-Klisto:
JUDE a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified in God the Father, and preserved by Jesus Christ, the called:
2 Tika ete mawa, kimia mpe bolingo efuluka kati na bino!
mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied.
3 Balingami na ngai, nazalaki na posa makasi ya kokomela bino na tina na lobiko oyo tozali na yango na lisanga. Nazwaki mokumba ya kokomela bino mpo na kolendisa bino ete bobunda mpo na kondima oyo Nzambe apesaki, mbala moko mpo na libela, epai ya basantu.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you concerning the common salvation, I held it necessary to write unto you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints.
4 Pamba te ezali na bato mosusu oyo basili kokota kati na bino na mayele mabe, ba-oyo etumbu na bango ekomama wuta kala: batosaka makambo ya Nzambe te, bakomisaka ngolu ya Nzambe na biso lokola nzela ya kosala makambo na bango ya soni, mpe bawanganaka Yesu-Klisto, Mokonzi kaka moko mpe Nkolo na biso.
For certain men have craftily introduced themselves, who were from of old proscribed for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of God into impurity, and denying our only sovereign God and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Atako boyebi malamu makambo oyo nyonso, kasi nalingi kaka koyebisa bino lisusu ete Nkolo akangolaki bato na Ye na bowumbu kati na Ejipito, kasi, sima na yango, abomaki ba-oyo bazalaki na kondima te.
But I would remind you, though ye once knew this, that the Lord, though he delivered the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed those who believed not.
6 Nzambe akangaki mpe na minyololo ya seko, kati na molili mpo na kosambisama ya mokolo monene, ba-anjelu oyo basepelaki te na evandelo oyo Nzambe apesaki bango mpe batikaki yango. (aïdios g126)
And the angels who preserved not their own primitive state, but deserted their proper abode, hath he reserved in everlasting chains under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Ndenge moko mpe mpo na bato ya Sodome, ya Gomore mpe ya bingumba ya pembeni: basalaki ndenge moko na ba-anjelu, bamipesaki na pite mpe bazalaki kosangisa nzoto na ndenge oyo esengeli te. Bazali ndakisa mpo na bato oyo bazali komona pasi ya etumbu ya moto ya seko na seko. (aiōnios g166)
As Sodom and Gomorrha and the surrounding cities, in like manner with them abandoned to whoredom, and going after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the judicial punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na bato wana: makanisi na bango etindikaka bango na kobebisa banzoto na bango, na kotiola bokonzi ya Nkolo, mpe na kofinga bikelamu ya nkembo ya Likolo.
In like manner also do these men, even when they dream, defile indeed the flesh, despise sovereignty, and revile dignities.
9 Nzokande, ezala Misheli, mokonzi ya ba-anjelu, tango abendanaki na Satana na tina na nzoto ya Moyize, amekaki ata moke te kopesa Satana etumbu ya soni; kasi alobaki kaka: « Tika ete Nkolo apesa yo etumbu! »
Though Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not to produce a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 Kasi bato wana bafingaka oyo bango basosolaka te, mpe makambo oyo bango basosolaka na lolenge na bango ya bomoto mpe ya bonyama ekobebisa bango.
But these men speak evil even of the things of which they have no knowledge: but such things as they know naturally, as the brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.
11 Mawa na bango, pamba te balandaki nzela ya Kayina, bapengwaki lokola Balami mpo na lokoso ya mbongo, mpe bakufaki lokola Kore mpo na botomboki.
Wo unto them! for they have walked in the way of Cain, and have eagerly run in Balaam’s erroneous path of hire, and have perished in opposition, like Corah.
12 Ezali mpe kaka bango nde babetisaka baninga mabaku na tango ya kolia na lisanga: baliaka na lokoso mpe na soni te, balukaka kaka bolamu na bango; bazali lokola mapata oyo ezangi mayi, oyo mopepe ezali komema; bazali lokola banzete oyo ebotaka bambuma te, ata na eleko ya kobuka bambuma; ekufaka mbala mibale soki bapikoli yango.
These are in your feasts of love, as sunken rocks; though joining in your banquet, they feed themselves fearlessly; clouds without water carried about by the winds; trees untimely withering, fruitless, twice dead, rooted up;
13 Babimisaka misala na bango ya soni ndenge ebale monene ebimisaka mbonge mpe fulufulu soki etomboki makasi; bazali lokola minzoto oyo eyengaka-yengaka. Nzambe abombeli bango etumbu ya molili makasi mpo na libela. (aiōn g165)
raging billows of the sea foaming out their own infamies; stars wandering from their courses, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved. (aiōn g165)
14 Ezala Enoki, mokitani ya sambo wuta Adamu, asakolaki na tina na bango: « Tala, Nkolo azali koya elongo na basantu na Ye, bankoto na bankoto,
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied also of these men, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with myriads of his saints,
15 mpo na kosambisa bato nyonso mpe kopesa etumbu na bato nyonso oyo batosaka Ye te mpo na misala na bango nyonso ya botomboki mpe mpo na mafinga nyonso oyo basumuki yango babimisaki mpo na kofinga Nzambe. »
to execute judgment against all men, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have impiously committed, and of all the bitter words which impious offenders have spoken against him.
16 Bato yango bayimaka-yimaka mpe bamilelaka-lelaka tango nyonso, batambolaka kolanda baposa mabe ya banzoto na bango, bamikumisaka mpe bakumisaka bato mosusu na lokuta mpo na kobenda litomba kowuta na bango.
These men are murmurers, complainers at their lot in life, walking after their own corrupt passions; and their mouth utters hyperbolically pompous expressions, pretending high personal admiration, in order to make their advantage.
17 Kasi bino, balingami na ngai, bokanisa maloba oyo bantoma ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, balobaki liboso.
But ye, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 Balobaki na bino: « Na tango ya suka, ekozala na batioli oyo bakotambola kolanda baposa na bango, oyo ekotindika bango na koboya kotosa makambo ya Nzambe. »
how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers, walking after their own ungodly passions.
19 Bazali bato oyo bakotisaka bokabwani kati na bato, bazali lokola banyama mpo ete bazangi Molimo ya Nzambe.
These are the men who separate themselves, sensual, destitute of the Spirit.
20 Kasi bino, balingami na ngai, botonga bomoi na bino na likolo ya kondima na bino, oyo eleki bule. Bobondelaka na nguya ya Molimo Mosantu.
But ye, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Ghost,
21 Bomibomba kati na bolingo ya Nzambe, wana bozali kozela ete Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, na mawa na Ye, apesa bino bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
preserve yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Boyokela bato oyo bazali nanu na tembe mawa;
And of some have compassion, distinguishing their case;
23 mpo na bato mosusu, bobikisa bango na kobimisa bango na moto; mpe mpo na bato mosusu lisusu, boyokela bango mpe mawa oyo esangana na bobangi, na koyina ezala ata bilamba na bango, oyo baposa na bango ya nzoto ekomisa mbindo.
and others save with trembling, snatching them out of the fire; though hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Epai na Ye oyo azali na makoki ya kobatela bino mpo ete bokweya te, mpe ya kotelemisa bino liboso ya nkembo na Ye lokola bato oyo bazangi mbeba mpe bato ya esengo monene;
Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with exultation,
25 epai ya Nzambe moko kaka, Mobikisi na biso, na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, tika ete nkembo, lokumu, nguya mpe bokonzi ezala ya Ye, wuta liboso ya tango, sik’oyo mpe mpo na libela na libela! Amen! (aiōn g165)
to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, might and dominion, both now and unto all eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
