Yihuudaa 1
1 Yihuudaa obboleessa Yaaqoob garbicha Yesuus Kiristoos irraa, Gara warra waamamanii Waaqa Abbaadhaan jaallataman kanneen Yesuus Kiristoosiin eegamaniitti:
To those who, having received the call, have been loved by God the Father and protected by Jesus Christ, From Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and the brother of James.
2 Araarri, nagaanii fi jaalalli isiniif haa baayʼatu.
May mercy, peace, and love be yours in ever increasing measure.
3 Yaa michoota, ani waaʼee fayyina nu walii wajjin qooddannu kanaa isiniif barreessuuf guddisee nan hawwan ture; garuu akka isin amantii yeroo tokko bara baraan qulqulloota Waaqaatti imaanaa kenname sanaaf jabaattanii loltaniif isiniif barreessee isin gorsuun barbaachisaa natti fakkaate.
Dear friends, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I felt that I must write to you at once to encourage you to fight in defence of the faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s people.
4 Namoonni bara dheeraan dura murtii kanaaf murteeffaman tokko tokko looʼanii gidduu keessan seenaniiruutii. Isaanis namoota Waaqaaf hin bulle, warra ayyaana Waaqa keenyaa gara halalummaatti geeddaran kanneen Gooftaa Ol aanaa tokkicha jechuunis Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosin gananii dha.
For there have crept in among you certain godless people, whose sentence has long since been pronounced, and who make the mercy of God an excuse for profligacy, and disown our only lord and master, Jesus Christ.
5 Yoo isin duraanuu waan kana hunda beektan illee, ani akka Gooftaan yeroo tokko saba isaa Gibxii baasee ergasii immoo warra hin amanin balleesse isin yaadachiisuu nan barbaada.
Now I want to remind you – but you already know it all – that, though the Lord delivered the people from Egypt, yet he afterwards destroyed those who refused to believe in him;
6 Innis ergamoota sadarkaa taayitaa isaanii irra hin turin, kanneen lafa jireenya isaanii dhiisan sana foncaa bara baraatiin hidhee hamma murtii Guyyaa guddaa sanaatti dukkana keessa turseera. (aïdios g126)
and that even those angels, who did not keep to their appointed spheres, but left their proper homes, have been kept by him for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains and black darkness. (aïdios g126)
7 Sodoomii fi Gomoraan, magaalaawwan naannoo isaanii jiranis akkasuma halalummaa fi hawwii foonii kan haala uumamaatiin ala taʼetti dabarsanii of kennaniiru. Isaanis warra adaba ibidda bara baraatiin adabamaniif fakkeenya taʼaniiru. (aiōnios g166)
Like Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns near them, which gave themselves up to fornication, and fell into unnatural vice, these angels now stand out as a warning, undergoing, as they are, punishment in eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Haaluma wal fakkaatuunis namoonni abjootan kunneen foon ofii isaanii xureessu; gooftummaa ni tuffatu; ulfina qabeeyyii illee ni arrabsu.
Yet in the same way these people, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the celestial beings.
9 Garuu Miikaaʼel hangafni ergamoota Waaqaa iyyuu yeroo waaʼee reeffa Musee irratti diiyaabiloosiin walitti falmanitti, “Gooftaan si haa ifatu!” jedhe malee isa arrabsuudhaan itti muruuf ija hin jabaanne.
Yet even Michael, the archangel, when, in his dispute with the devil, he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to charge him with maligning, but said merely “The Lord rebuke you!”
10 Namoonni kunneen garuu waanuma hin hubanne arrabsu; waan isaan akkuma bineensota waa yaaduu hin dandeenyeetti miiraan hubatantu isaan balleessa.
But these people malign whatever they do not understand; while they use such things as they know by instinct (like the animals that have no reason) for their own corruption.
11 Isaaniif wayyoo! Isaan karaa Qaayin irra deeman; faayidaa argachuuf jedhanii dogoggora Balaʼaam keessa of buusan; fincila Qooraahiitiinis ni barbadaaʼan.
Alas for them! They walk in the steps of Cain; led astray by Balaam’s love of gain, they plunge into sin, and meet their ruin through rebellion like Korah.
12 Namoonni kunneen utuma xuraaʼoo taʼanii jiranuu qaanii tokko malee cidha jaalalaa isin wajjin nyaatu; isaan tiksoota ofuma isaanii qofa sooranii dha. Isaan akkuma duumessa bokkaa hin qabne kan bubbeen asii fi achi oofuu ti; akkuma muka yeroo itti ija naqachuu qabutti ija dhabee buqqifamee dachaa lama duʼee ti.
These are the people who are blots on your “love-feasts,” when they feast together and provide without scruple for themselves alone. They are clouds without rain, driven before the winds; they are leafless trees without a vestige of fruit, dead through and through, torn up by the roots;
13 Isaan warra akka dambalii galaanaa hoomacha qaanii isaanii baasanii dha; akkuma urjiiwwan asii fi achi jooran kanneen dukkanni limixiin hamma bara baraatti isaanii kaaʼamee ti. (aiōn g165)
they are wild sea waves, foaming with their own shame; they are “wandering stars,” for which the blackest darkness has been reserved for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 Henook inni Addaam irraa jalqabee torbaffaa ture sun akkana jedhee waaʼee namoota kanaa raajii dubbateera: “Kunoo, Gooftaan qulqulloota isaa kumaatama wajjin ni dhufa;
To these people, as to others, Enoch, the seventh in descent from Adam, declared – “See! The Lord has come with his hosts of holy ones around him,
15 innis nama hundatti muruuf, warra Waaqaaf hin bulle kanneen karaa Waaqni hin jaallanneen waan Waaqni hin jaallanne hojjetan hundaa fi dubbii hamaa cubbamoonni Waaqaaf hin bulle hundinuu isa irratti dubbatan hundatti isaan gaafachuuf ni dhufa.”
to execute judgment on all people, and to convict all godless people of all their godless acts, which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the harsh words which they have spoken against him, godless sinners that they are!”
16 Namoonni kunneen yeroo hunda ni guungumu; komiis ni qabaatu; hawwii isaanii isa hamaa duukaa buʼu; of jaju; faayidaa argachuuf jedhaniis nama saadu.
These people are always murmuring, and complaining of their lot; they follow where their passions lead them; they have arrogant words on their lips; and they flatter others for the sake of what they can get from them.
17 Yaa michoota, isin garuu waan ergamoonni Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos duraan dursanii himan sana yaadadhaa.
But you should, dear friends, recall what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 Isaanis, “Qoostonni hawwii fedhii Waaqaatiin ala taʼe duukaa buʼan bara dhumaa keessa ni dhufu” isiniin jedhan.
how they used to say to you – “As time draws to an end, there will be scoffers, who will be led by their godless passions.”
19 Namoonni kunneen warra gargar baʼuu uuman, warra hawwii foonii duukaa buʼanii fi warra Hafuura Qulqulluu hin qabnee dha.
These are the people – animal and unspiritual – who cause divisions.
20 Isin garuu yaa michoota, amantii keessan kan waan hunda irra qulqulluu taʼe sana irratti of ijaaraa; Hafuura Qulqulluudhaanis kadhadhaa.
But you must, dear friends, build up your characters on the foundation of your most holy faith, pray under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
21 Araarri Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos jireenya bara baraatti akka isin geessu eeggachaa jaalala Waaqaatiin of eegaa. (aiōnios g166)
and keep within the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to bring you to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Warra shakkii qabaniif garaa laafaa;
To some show pity, because they are in doubt. “Drag them out of the fire,” and save them.
23 Warra kaan ibidda keessaa butaatii oolchaa; kaan immoo uffata hawwii fooniitiin xureeffame iyyuu balfaatii sodaadhaan isaan maaraa.
To others show pity, but with caution, hating the clothing polluted by their touch.
24 Isa gufachuu isin oolchuu dandaʼuu fi isa fuula ulfina isaa duratti hirʼina malee, gammachuu guddaadhaan isin dhiʼeessuu dandaʼu sanaaf,
To him who is able to guard you from falling, and to bring you into his glorious presence, blameless and rejoicing –
25 Fayyisaa keenya Waaqa tokkichaaf ulfinni, surraan, humnii fi taayitaan karaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin bara hundumaan dura, amma, bara baraanis haa taʼu! Ameen. (aiōn g165)
to the one God, our Saviour, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, glory, majesty, power, and dominion, as it was before time began, is now, and will be for all time to come. Amen. (aiōn g165)
