Juda 1
1 Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Juda motlhanka wa ga Jesu Keresete mogoloa Jakobe. Go: Bakeresete gongwe le gongwe, barategi ba ba tlhophilweng ke One.
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them who are sanctified by God the Father, and to the preserved by Jesus Christ, to the called:
2 A kutlwelo botlhoko ya Modimo, lorato le kagiso di lo oketsegele.
May mercy, and peace, and love, be multiplied to you.
3 Ditsala tse di rategang, ke ne ke ikaeletse go lo kwalela ka megopolo mengwe mabapi le poloko e Modimo o e re neileng, mme jaanong ke bona gore mo boemong jwa moo ke tshwanetse go lo kwalela ka sengwe se sele, ke lopa gore lo femele ka tlhoafalo boammaaruri jo Modimo o bo neileng batho ba One gangwe fela mo dingwageng tsotlhe ba sa fetoge.
Beloved, making all haste to write to you, concerning the common salvation, I thought it necessary to write to you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith formerly delivered to the saints.
4 Mme ke bua ka ntlha ya gore Baruti bangwe ba ba senang bo-Modimo ba setse ba itshukunyeditse mo gare ga lona, ba re, fa re sena go nna Bakeresete re ka itirela go rata re sa boife kwatlhao ya Modimo. Tshenyego ya batho ba ba ntseng jalo e kwadilwe bogologolo gonne ba furaletse Mmusi yo e leng ene fela ka nosi Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
For certain men have come in privily, who long ago were before written to this very condemnation; ungodly men, perverting the favor of our God to lasciviousness, and denying the only sovereign Lord, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Mme karabo ya me mo go bone ke e: gakologelwang boammaaruri jo, jo lo setseng lo bo itse, gore Jehofa o bolokile chaba yotlhe go tswa mo lefatsheng la Egepeto, mme a nyeletsa botlhe ba ba neng ba sa mo ikanye le go mo reetsa.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you formerly knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them who did not believe.
6 Mme ke lo gakolola ka Baengele ba ba kileng ba bo ba le boitshepo, mme ba boela mo sebeng. Jaanong Modimo o ba golegetse mo kgolegelong ya lefifi ba letetse letsatsi la katlholo. (aïdios g126)
Also, the angels who kept not their first estate, but left their proper habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, to the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Gakologelwang ka metse ya Sodoma le Gomora le metse e e neng e bapile nayo, yotlhe e ne e tletse mefutafuta ya dibe, le banna ba ba leswe ba ba eletsang banna ba bangwe. Metse eo e ne ya nyelediwa ka molelo go nna tlhagiso mo go rona gore re itse gore go na le dihele kwa baleofi ba yang go otlhaiwang teng. (aiōnios g166)
Likewise Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which, after their example, had habitually committed uncleanness, and gone after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the punishment of an eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Mme le fa go ntse jalo, baruti ba, ba tsietso, ba ntse ba tsweletse go tshela botshelo jwa bone jo bo leswe jwa boleo, ba tlontlolola mebele ya bone ebile ba nyatsa le e leng bone babusi ba bone, gape ba kgala le bagalaledi.
Truly, in like manner, also, shall these dreamers be punished--who, indeed, defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme dignities.
9 Le ene Mikaele, mongwe wa Baengele ba bagolo thata ka nako ya fa ba tatalalana le Satane ka setopo sa ga Moshe, gaa a ka a leka go pega Satane molato; le fa e le go mo gobolola, fela a mo raya a re, “A Morena a go kgalemele.”
Whereas, Michael, the Arch Angel, when contending with the devil, (he disputed about the body of Moses, ) did not attempt to bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke":
10 Mme batho ba, ba kgala ba bile ba sotla sengwe le sengwe se ba sa se tlhaloganyeng, ba tshwana le diphologolo, ba dira sengwe le sengwe se ba se ratang, jalo he, ba senye mewa ya bone.
but these, indeed, revile those things which they do not know; but what things they do know, naturally, as animals void of reason, by these things they destroy themselves.
11 A bo go latlhega bone, gonne ba latela sekao sa ga Kaene yo o neng a bolaya monnawe, fela jaaka Balaame, ba tlaa dira le fa e le eng ka ntlha ya go rata madi, le jaaka Kora, ga ba a ka ba reetsa Modimo, mme ba tlaa swela mo phutsong ya One.
Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and have run evidently in the error of Balaam's hire, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
12 Mme fa banna ba ba ikopanya le lona mo meketeng ya lorato ya phuthego ke dilabe tse di maswe mo gare ga lona, ba a tshega ba tsweletse pele, ba bohula ba ikatela dijo ba sa akanyetse ba bangwe ba tshwana le maru a a kgokgoediwang ke phefo mo lefatsheng je le omeletseng a sena pula, ba solofetsa go le gontsi mme go se na sepe. Ba tshwana le ditlhare tsa maungo tse di senang sepe ka nako ya thobo, ga ba a swa fela, ba sule mo go menaganyeng, gonne ba epolotswe gotlhe ka medi go fisiwa.
These men are spots in love feasts, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear. They are clouds without water, carried about of winds: withered autumnal trees without fruit; twice dead; rooted out;
13 Mo go salang sefularong sa bone ke matlhabisa ditlhong le maswabi jaaka mahulo a a leswe a a tlogetsweng ke diphefo tsa makhubu a metsi a molapo mo lotshitshing, ba kaila gongwe le gongwe ba lebega ba phatsima jaaka dinaledi. Mme kwa pele ga bonwa go na le lefifi le le ntsho la bosakhutleng le ba le baakanyeditsweng ke Modimo. (aiōn g165)
raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved. (aiōn g165)
14 Enoke wa bogologolo yo o neng a tshela morago ga ga Adamo, o ne a itse kaga batho ba, a bo a bua ka bone a re: “Bonang, Morena o e tla le didikadike tsa baitshepi ba gagwe.
Now, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, indeed, concerning these men; saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with his myriads of holy angels,
15 O tlaa lere batho botlhe ba lefatshe fa pele ga gagwe mo katlholong, go amogela kwatlhao e e ba tshwanetseng, gore e nne bosupi jwa ditiro tse di boitshegang tse ba di dirileng ka go tsuolola Modimo, o tlaa senola gotlhe mo ba go buileng kaga gagwe.”
to pass sentence on all, and to convict all the ungodly among them, of all their deeds of ungodliness; which they have impiously committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
16 Batho ba ke bangongoregi ba metlha yotlhe, ga ba ke ba thethebala dipelo, ba dira bosula bongwe le bongwe jo ba bo eletsang, ba boikgantsho ba goletse ganong ke “baipegi” ba rata go itshupa. Mme fa ba tlotla ba bangwe, ba direla fela gore le bone ba tle ba ba thuse.
These are murmurers, and complainers, who walk according to their own lusts; and their mouths speak great swelling words. They admire persons for the sake of gain.
17 Ditsala tse di rategang, gakologelwang se baaposetoloi ba Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete ba se lo boleletseng,
But, beloved, remember the words which were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 gore mo metlheng ya bofelo go tlaa tla basotli ba, ba maikaelelo a bone a botshelo e leng go itumela ka bosula bongwe le bongwe jo ba bo akanyang.
that they said to you, that in the last time there would be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
19 Mme ba tsosa dikganetsanyo; ba rata dilo tse di bosula tsa lefatshe, ga ba na Mowa O O Boitshepo mo go bone.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 Mme lona, ditsala tse di rategang, lo tshwanetse go aga matshelo a lona ka tlhomamo gape a nitame mo mothaong wa tumelo ya rona e e boitshepo, lo ithuta go rapela ka nonofo le ka tlhotlheletso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo.
But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying with a holy spirit;
21 Lo nne mo kagelelong ya lorato lwa Modimo gore o kgone go lo segofatsa. Lo letele ka pelotelele botshelo jo bosakhutleng jo Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete o tlaa lo bo nayang ka kutlwelo botlhoko ya gagwe. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mme lekang go thusa ba ba ganetsanyang le lona. Lo nne kutlwelo botlhoko mo go ba ba belaelang.
And making a difference, have compassion, indeed, on some:
23 Bolokang bangwe jaaka ekete lo ba swatola mo molelong wa dihele. Mme ba bangwe bone, ba thuseng gore ba itse Morena mme lo ntse lo itlhokometse e se re kgotsa ba lo gogela mo dibeng tsa bone. Lo ile makgapha otlhe a maikepo a bone lo ntse lo le kutlwelo botlhoko nabo jaaka baleofi.
but others, save by fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Mme jaanong, a kgalalelo yotlhe e nne go One Modimo o o nosi, o o re bolokang ka Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona; Ee, borena le puso, le thata yotlhe le taolo ke tsa gagwe go tswa tshimologong: Gotlhe ke ga gagwe, gape e tlaa nna ga gagwe ka metlha le ka metlha. Mme gape o nonofile go lo tshegetsa gore lo se ka lwa relela lwa wa, le go lo tlisa lo sena selabe sa boleo, lo itekanetse mo kgalalelong ya gagwe, ka meduduetso e megolo ya boitumelo jo bo sa feleng. Ke nna, Juda. (aiōn g165)
Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory, with exceeding joy;
