< Yuda 1 >
1 Nene ndi Yuda, mtumisi wa Yesu Kilisitu na mbena waki Yakobo. Nikuvayandikila nyenye mwemkemeliwi na Chapanga Dadi mweakuvagana na Yesu Kilisitu ndi mlonda winu.
Jude, Jesus Christ’s servant, and brother of James, unto, the called, by God the Father, beloved, and, by Jesus Christ preserved, —
2 Nikumuyupa Chapanga avahengela lipyana, uteke na uganu vivya kwinu kwa umahele wewihuma kwa Chapanga.
Mercy to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied!
3 Vankozi vaganu, navili na uganu wa kuvayandikila kuuvala usangula wula wetivili nawu tavoha. Nambu niwona chabwina kuvayandikila ndava kuvakangamalisa mitima muyihengela ulonda sadika, yevapewili vandu va Chapanga mala yimonga ndu kwa lukumbi lwoha.
Beloved! though I was using all diligence to be writing unto you concerning our common salvation, yet have I had necessity to write at once unto you, exhorting you to be earnestly contending for, the faith, once for all delivered unto the saints.
4 Muni vandu vangamuyogopa Chapanga vajiyingisi chinunu pagati yitu. Vandu venavo uvang'anamwisi ujumbi wabwina wa Chapanga witu muni vakita mambu ga ukemi na kumbela Yesu Kilisitu mweavili mwene, Chilongosi na Bambu witu. Nambu Mayandiku Gamsopi gamali kujova kuhumila kadeni uhamula weukuvalindila vandu avo.
For there have crept in unobserved certain men, who, from of old, have been publicly notified for this sentence, ungodly, men, the favour of our God, turning into wantonness, and, our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ, denying.
5 Hinu nigana kuvakumbusa mambu, pamonga aga mwamali kumanyiswa hotohoto mala yimonga, mkumbukayi Bambu cheavasangwili vandu va Isilaeli na kuvawusa pamulima wa Misili, nambu mwanakandahi avakomili vala vavangasadika.
I am minded, therefore, to put you in remembrance, —though ye know all things once for all, That the Lord, when a people out of Egypt he had saved, in, the next place, them that believed not, destroyed.
6 Na, vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vevangakola uhotola wavi vakaleka pandu pavi pevavikiwi na Chapanga, Chapanga avakungili kwa minyololo magono goha gangali mwishu na pachitita ng'ong'olo vilindila ligono lila likulu la uhamula. (aïdios )
Messengers also, even them who had not kept their own principality, but had forsaken their proper dwelling, unto the judgment of the great day in perpetual bonds under thick gloom, hath he reserved. (aïdios )
7 Kangi mkumbuka Sodoma na Gomola, na milima ya papipi yaki, vakolonjinji vaki vakitili chenicho ngati chevakitili vamitumu vala, vakitili ukemi na kulanda mambu ga muhiga yavi gegibeswa ndi vapewili uhamula wa kutagwa mumotu wangajimika wa magono goha gangali mwishu, muni yivya liwuliwu kwa vandu voha. (aiōnios )
As, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having in like manner to these given themselves over to fornication, and gone away after other kind of flesh, lie exposed as an example, a penalty of age-abiding fire, undergoing. (aiōnios )
8 Mewawa cheyavili kwa vandu ava. Njozi zavi zikuvalongosa mukuzihakasa higa zavi vene, kuuvevesa uhotola wa Chapanga na kuliga vajumbi vevana ukulu wa kunani.
In like manner, nevertheless, even these, in their dreamings, flesh indeed defile, while lordship they set aside, and dignities they defame.
9 Hati Mikaeli, mtumu mkulu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akitili lepi chenicho. Mung'omo pagati yaki na Setani ndava ya higa ya Musa, Mikaeli alingili lepi kumuhamula Setani kwa maligu, ndi ajovili, “Bambu mwene ndi akuywangila.”
Whereas, Michael, the chief-messenger, when, with the adversary, disputing, he was reasoning about the body of Moses, durst not impose on him a defamatory sentence, but said—The Lord rebuke thee!
10 Nambu vandu ava viliga vindu vyangavimanya. Gavili mambu gevagamanyili nambu vikita changali kuholalela ngati hinyama chehikita changali luhala. Na mambu ago gakuvahalabisa vene.
But, these, whatsoever things, indeed, they know not, they defame; but, whatsoever things, naturally, like the irrational creatures, they well understand, by these, are they, bringing themselves to ruin.
11 Yati vakuchikolela! Vandu venavo vevakuyilanda njila yila ya Kaini. Ndava ya kugana mashonga, vakujiyingisi mukubuda kwa Balaamu. Vang'anamwiki ngati Kola cheang'anamwiki na vakomiwi ngati Kola cheakomiwi.
Alas for them! because—in the way of Cain have they gone, and, in the error of Balaam’s wage, have they run riot, and, in the gainsaying of Korah, have they perished.
12 Vandu venavo vibwela mu mselebuko winu wa chakulya wewulangisa uganu venavo ndi vakuyogopwa ndava kwa matendu gavi gahakau vileta soni na uhakau, vavili ngati vadimaji vevakujiyukutisa vene. Viwanangana na mahundi gegikang'wa na chimbungululu vavili ngati mikongo yangali matunda lukumbi lwa mabenu yeyitupuliwi na kuyuma neju.
These are they—who, in your love-feasts, are hidden rocks, as they fare sumptuously together, fearlessly, themselves, shepherding, —clouds without water, by winds swept along, trees autumnal, fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,
13 Vandu avo vavi ngati mtimbuganu wa nyanja na mambu gavi gahakau gilolekana ngati lihuluhulu. Vavi ngati ndondo zeziyugayuga zezivikiwi na Chapanga pandu pa chitita ng'ong'olo cha magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn )
Wild waves of sea, foaming out their own infamies, wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness age-abiding hath been reserved. (aiōn )
14 Henoki, ndi chiveleku cha saba kuhumila Adamu mbaka Enoki, awusi malovi ga ulota panani ya venavo, kujova yuwanila Bambu ibwela na vamitumu vaki va kunani vamsopi vangavalangika,
But the seventh from Adam, Enoch, prophesied, even of these, saying—Lo! the Lord hath come with his holy myriads, —
15 muni avahamula vandu voha, na kuvapela mbunu voha vevakumbudila Chapanga, ndava ya matendu gavi gahakau gevakitili na mambu gahaku gevajovili ga kumliga Chapanga.
To execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly—of all their works of ungodliness, which they committed in ungodliness, and of all the hard things which they have spoken against him—sinners, ungodly!
16 Vandu ava vanamang'ung'uta na kuvajova vandu vangi, vitama kwa kulanda mnogo wavi uhakau, vimeka na kujilangisa kuvya vene ndi vandu vabwina, na kuvalumba vandu vangi, muni vapatayi vindu kuhuma kwavi.
These, are murmurers, complainers, according to their covetings, going on, —and, their mouth, speaketh great swelling words, —holding persons in admiration, for profit’s sake.
17 Nambu nyenye, vankozi vangu, mugakumbuka malovi gagalongaliwi kutumbula na mitumu va Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
But, ye, beloved! remember the things which were foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 Vavajovili, mu magono gamwishu yati vihumila vandu vangamsadika Chapanga vandu vevilongoswa na mnogo wavi uhakau vandu avo yati vakuvavevesa.
How that they used to say to you—In the last time, there shall be mockers, —according to their own ungodly covetings, going on.
19 Vandu venavo ndi vavileta mpechenganu, vandu vevilanda mnogo uhakau wa mulima wevavelikiwi nawu, vavi lepi na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
These, are they who make complete separation, mere men of soul, Spirit, not possessing.
20 Nambu nyenye, vankozi vangu, mjijenga mwavene mu mkingisa wa sadika yinu. Myupa kwa Chapanga kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
But, ye, beloved! building yourselves up in your most holy faith, in Holy Spirit, praying,
21 Na kutama muuganu wa Chapanga, mumlindila Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu avapela wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu mulipyana laki. (aiōnios )
Yourselves, in God’s love, keep, —awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto age-abiding life. (aiōnios )
22 Muvahengela lipyana vandu vangi vevivagaya,
And, on some, indeed, have mercy, —such as are in doubt, be saving, out of the fire, snatching them;
23 muvasangula vandu vangi mumotu wa uhamula kwa kuvanyakula, kangi muvahengela lipyana vangi kwa kujiyangalila mwavene, muzivenga hati nyula zavi zezina mabala ga mnogo uhakau.
But, on others, have mercy with fear, hating even, the garment, spotted by the flesh.
24 Chapanga mweihotola kuvahengela ulonda mkoto kugwa changali kubuda, na kuvapeleka nyenye mbaka muukulu waki nakwa luheku luvaha changali kubuda kwaki
Now, unto him who is able—to guard you from stumbling, and to set you in the presence of his glory, without blemish, with exultation, —
25 mwene mweavi Chapanga, msangula witu kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu Bambu witu. Uvya ukulu na unkosi makakala na uhotola kuhumila kutumbula kwakona kuwumbwa mulima hati hinu na magono goha gegibwela gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn )
Unto God alone our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, greatness, dominion, and authority, before all the [by-gone] age, and now, and unto all the [coming] ages. Amen! (aiōn )
