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:
Yehudah, a servant of Yeshua Meshikha, and brother of Yaquv, to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Yeshua Meshikha:
2 Tika ete mawa, kimia mpe bolingo efuluka kati na bino!
Mercy to 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, 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 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 there are certain people who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly people, turning the grace of our God into sensuality, and denying our only Master and Lord, Yeshua Meshikha.
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.
Now I want to remind you, though you already know all these things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
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)
Angels who did not keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for 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)
Even as Sedum and Amura, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of everlasting 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.
Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme the glories.
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! »
But Mikael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Mushe, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you."
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 speak evil of whatever things they do not know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.
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.
Woe to them. For they went in the way of Qayen, and ran riotously in the error of Belam for profit, and perished in Qurakh's rebellion.
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 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 leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
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)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (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,
About these also Khenuk, the seventh from Adom, prophesied, saying, "Look, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones,
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 on all, and to convict every person 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 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 are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 Kasi bino, balingami na ngai, bokanisa maloba oyo bantoma ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, balobaki liboso.
But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha.
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. »
They said to you that "In the end time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
19 Bazali bato oyo bakotisaka bokabwani kati na bato, bazali lokola banyama mpo ete bazangi Molimo ya Nzambe.
These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Rukha.
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 you, beloved, keep building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Rukha d'Qudsha.
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)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Boyokela bato oyo bazali nanu na tembe mawa;
And be merciful on those who doubt,
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 some save, snatching them out of the fire, and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the clothing stained 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 keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
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 God our Savior, through Yeshua Meshikha our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
