Yuda 1
1 Neni Yuda, ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu na mlongu gwa Yakobu. Nankuwalembera mwenga yamushemitwi na Mlungu Tati, na yamfiruwa na Mlungu Tati na yamulikala mumafiliru gakuwi na kulolerwa weri kwajili ya Yesu Kristu.
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 Lusungu na ponga na ufiru viweri vivuwa kwa mwenga.
May mercy, peace, and love be yours in ever increasing measure.
3 Waganja wangu, neni nweriti na matamata ga kuwalembera kuusu ulopoziya ulii yatuwutenda pamuhera, kumbiti mona iherepa kuwalembera na kuwaluwa muyiteteyi kwa gangamala njimiru Mlungu yakawapananiti wantu wakuwi mala yimu hera kwa shipindi shoseri.
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 defense of the faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s people.
4 Toziya kwana wantu wamu yawaliyingiziyiti kwa bada pakati penu, wantu weni utoza wawu ulembitwi Mumalembu Mananagala kwanjira makashu, womberi wamjimiriti ndiri Mlungu na kumupanana ligoya, wantu yawagalambula ujumbi wa manemu ga Mlungu gwetu, su wapati kutenda undiyandiya na kumlema Yesu Kristu, yakawera Mkolamlima na Mtuwa gwetu gweka yakuwi.
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 Tembera muvimaniti kala nakamu vitwatira vyoseri avi, vinu nfira kuwaholuziya kuwera Mtuwa pakawalopoziyiti wantu wakuwi kulawa Misri, shakapanu kawagamiziyiti walii yawalemiti kujimira.
Now I want to remind you – but you already know it all – that, though the Lord delivered the people from Egypt, yet he afterward destroyed those who refused to believe in him;
6 Na wantumintumi wa kumpindi wasinditi kugoloka weri mumpenu zyawu zyawapananitwi, kumbiti wagalekiti makawu gawu weni, Mlungu kawatatiriti muluwindu dunu kwa minyololu ya mashaka goseri su watozwi mulishaka lilii likulu. (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 Muliholi viraa Sodoma na Gomora na lushi zya mumbwega mwakuwi, wenikaya wakuwi watenditi uhumba gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi ntambu yawatenditi uhumba na vitwatira vya kugalambula nshimba ntambu yakanyawiti Mlungu, wapananitwi azabu mumotu gwa mashaka goseri, su liweri Libeliziwu kwa wantu woseri. (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 Ayi ndo ntambu yawawera wantu awa. Kulota kwawu kuwalonguziya kuzidodisiya nshimba zyawu weni, walema uwezu wa Mlungu na kuvihigilanga viwumbi vya kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
Yet in the same way these people, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the celestial beings.
9 Kumbiti ata Mikaeli ntumintumi mkulu gwa kumpindi, katenditi ndiri hangu, pakasinganiti na Mkondola kuusu nshimba ya Musa, Mikaeli kajeriti ndiri kumtoza Mkondola kwa mayigilangu, kumbiti kalongiti, “Mtuwa kakukalipiri.”
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 Kumbiti wantu awa wavigilanga vintu vyawavimana ndiri. Kwana vitwatira vyawavimana na wavitenda pota kuvihola, gambira wankanyama ntambu yawatenda, toziya wankanyama wahera mahala, na vitwatira avi vyankuwahalabisiya wantu weni.
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 Shondi kwawu! Womberi yawagufata mgenderanu gulaa gulii gwa Kaini. Toziya ya mpiya, womberi watugiriti mota mulikosa lya Balamu na watenditi msindu gambira Kola na hawagamili gambira yomberi ntambu yakagamiriti.
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 Awa ndo wantu yawatenda pamuhera na mwenga mushiboga shenu sha ufiru pota kuwona soni. Womberi wawera gambira matalawu ga hatali gagaweza kugwamiziya mtumbwi na waweriti gambira walolera yawaliliziya weni hera na waweriti gambira mawundu yagahera mashi yagalonguziwa kwa liyega na waweriti gambira mitera yahera mabwajubwaju mushipindi sha kubena, yayitupulitwi na kufuwa nakamu,
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 wantu awa wawera gambira makupala makulu ga bahali, na matendu gawu ga soni galawa gambira ufulufulu. Womberi wawera gambira ntondu zyazyagamila, zyeni zitulwa mashaka goseri muluwindu dunu. (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 Na Henoki, muntu gwa shiyiwuku sha saba kwanjira Adamu, katungiti kala kuusu wantu awa pakalonga, “Guloli, Mtuwa kankwiza pamuhera na wantumintumi wakuwi wananagala wa kumpindi yaguweza ndiri kuwawalanga
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 su kumtoza kila muntu yakamjimiriti ndiri Mlungu na kumupanana ligoya na kuwazibu wantu woseri yawalemiti kumjimira Mlungu na kumupanana ligoya toziya ya matendu gawu goseri madoda gawatenditi pota na kumshera Mlungu, na toziya ya visoweru vyoseri vyavikalaziya vyeni wantu yawatenda vidoda vyawamtakuliriti.”
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 Wantu awa ndo yawakukulika na yawalalamika na wafata matamata zyawu zidoda, walikoma shifuwa na kuwazyuma wantu wamonga toziya ya mota zyawu weni.
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 Kumbiti mwenga waganja wangu, muliholi galii gamgambiritwi pamberi na wantumintumi wa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.
But you should, dear friends, recall what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 Wawagambiriti, “Mashaka ga upeleru hawalawili wantu yawamjimira ndiri Mlungu, wantu yawafata matamata zyawu zidoda, womberi hawawatenderi lidufiya.”
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 Wantu awa ndo yawajega mabagulanu pakati penu, wantu wa maholu ga shipasipanu, wantu yawahera Rohu gwa Mlungu.
These are the people – animal and unspiritual – who cause divisions.
20 Kumbiti mwenga, waganja wangu, mulinyawi maweni gweka munjimiru yenu yayiwera nanagala nentu na muluwi Mlungu kwa makakala ga Rohu Mnanagala.
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 Muliloleri weri muufiru wa Mlungu, pamuluhepa lusungu lwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, su kawajegi muwukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 Muweri na lusungu kwa wantu woseri yawawera na lyoga,
To some show pity, because they are in doubt. ‘Drag them out of the fire,’ and save them.
23 muwalopoziyi wamonga kwa kuwanyasula kulawa mumotu gwa utoza, kumbiti kwa wamonga muwawoneri lusungu pamuwera na lyoga, pamuzikalalira ata nguwu zawu zyazidodisiwitwi na madowa ga matamata zawu zidoda.
To others show pity, but with caution, hating the clothing polluted by their touch.
24 Su yomberi kaweza kuwalolera weri su namguwa na kuwajega mwenga pota likosa mpaka kulongolu kwa ukwisa wakuwi na kwa nemeleru,
To him who is able to guard you from falling, and to bring you into his glorious presence, blameless and rejoicing –
25 kwa Mlungu gweka yakuwi na Mlopoziya gwetu, uweri ukwisa na ukulu na makakala na uwezu na ukolamlima kwa njira ya Kristu Yesu Mtuwa gwetu, kwanjira makashu pamberi pa kuwumbwa kwa pasipanu na vinu na ata mashaka goseri. Yina haa. (aiōn g165)
to the one God, our Savior, 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)
