< Judha 1 >

1 Judha, muranda waJesu Kristu nomununʼuna waJakobho, kuna vaya vakadanwa, vanodikanwa naMwari Baba, vanochengetwa naJesu Kristu:
Jude, a bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, sanctified in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Ngoni, rugare norudo ngazviwande kwamuri.
Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.
3 Shamwari dzinodikanwa, kunyange ndakanga ndichishingairira kuti ndinyore kwamuri pamusoro poruponeso rwatinogovana, ndakafunga kuti ndinofanira kunyora ndichikukurudzirai kuti murwire kutenda kwakapiwa vatsvene kamwe.
Beloved, making all diligence to write to you about the common salvation, I had need to write to you exhorting you to earnestly contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the sanctified.
4 Nokuti vamwe varume vane kutongwa kwavo kwakanyorwa nezvako kare, vakapinda muchivande pakati penyu. Ivo vanhu vasina umwari, vanoshandura nyasha dzaMwari wedu vachidzitora semvumo yokuita upombwe, uye vachiramba Jesu Kristu, Ishe naTenzi wedu mumwe oga.
For certain men have sneaked in, those written about formerly for this condemnation, irreverent men, perverting the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying our only Master God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Kunyange maizviziva henyu kare, ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai kuti Ishe akasunungura vanhu vake kubva muIjipiti, asi pashure akaparadza vaya vakanga vasingatendi.
Now I want to remind you, ye having known this once, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 Uye vatumwa vasina kuchengeta nzvimbo youkuru hwavo asi vakasiya musha wavo, ivava akavachengeta murima, vakasungwa nengetani dzokusingaperi vakamirira kutongwa pazuva guru. (aïdios g126)
And the agents who did not keep their own principality, but left their own habitation, he has kept reserved in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, Sodhomu neGomora uye namaguta akanga akapoteredza akazvipa kuupombwe nokutsauka, akava muenzaniso wavaya vari pakurangwa nomoto usingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, the same kind of way with these who indulged in fornication, and who went rear of queer flesh, are set forth an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, ava varoti vanosvibisa miviri yavo, vachiramba vakuru uye vachituka zvisikwa zvokudenga.
Nevertheless in the same way also these men who dream, indeed defile flesh, and reject lordship, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Asi kunyange Mikaeri mutumwa mukuru, paakanga achirwa nadhiabhori pamusoro pomuviri waMozisi, haana kutsunga kutaura mashoko okutuka nokumupomera mhosva, asi akati, “Ishe ngaakutuke!”
But Michael the arch-agent, when he disputed with the devil, contending about the body of Moses, dared not bring a railing judgment, but said, May the Lord rebuke thee.
10 Asi vanhu ava vanotaura zvisina maturo pamusoro pezvinhu zvavasinganzwisisi; uye kunyange nezvinhu zvavanonzwisisa kubva pakuberekwa kwavo, semhuka dzisingafungi, zvinhu izvozvi ndizvo chaizvo zvinovaparadza.
But these men indeed revile whatever they have not seen. But whatever they understand naturally, as the irrational beasts, in these things they are corrupted.
11 Vane nhamo! Vakasarudza nzira yaKaini; vakamhanyira mubayiro wokutsauka kwaBharamu; vakaparadzwa mukupanduka kwaKora.
Woe to them! Because they went in the way of Cain, and rushed to the error of Balaam's reward, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
12 Vanhu ava makwapa pamitambo yenyu yorudo, vanodya nemi vasingatyi napaduku, vanongozvipa zvokudya ivo chete. Makore asina mvura, anotinhwa nemhepo; miti yenguva yamasutso, isina michero uye yakadzurwa, yakafa zvakapetwa kaviri.
These are reefs in your love-feasts, feasting together, fearlessly tending to themselves, waterless clouds carried along by winds, autumn trees without fruit, who died twice having being uprooted,
13 Mafungu egungwa anopenga, anopupuma nyadzi dzawo; nyeredzi dzinodzungaira, ivava vakachengeterwa rima guru nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of the sea foaming out their own shame, wandering stars for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved into an age. (aiōn g165)
14 Enoki, wechinomwe kubva kuna Adhamu, akaprofita pamusoro pavanhu ava achiti, “Tarirai, Ishe ari kuuya nezviuru nezviuru zvavatsvene vake
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads,
15 kuti azotonga vanhu vose, uye abate nemhosva vose vasina umwari pamusoro pamabasa ose asina umwari avakaita nenzira isina umwari, uye namashoko okutuka akataurwa navanhu vasina umwari pamusoro pake.”
to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the irreverent of them about all the works of their own irreverence that they have done irreverently, and about all the harsh things that irreverent sinners spoke against him.
16 Vanhu ava vanyunyuti uye vapomeri; vanotevera kuchiva kwavo vamene; vanozvirumbidza pachavo uye vanobata vamwe kumeso kuti zvivanakire ivo.
These are grumblers, fault-finders, going according to their lusts, and their mouth speaks overblown things, marveling personages for the sake of advantage.
17 Asi, vadikani, rangarirai zvakataurwa navapostori vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
But ye, beloved, remember the sayings previously spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 Vakati kwamuri, “Munguva yokupedzisira kuchava navaseki vachatevera kuchiva kwavo.”
that they told you that there will be scoffers during the last time, going according to their own desires of irreverences.
19 Ava ndivo vanhu vanokuparadzanisai, vanotevera nyama yavo uye vasina Mweya.
These are those who make divisions, world-soul men, not having Spirit.
20 Asi imi, vadikani, zvivakei mukutenda kwenyu kutsvene uye munyengetere muMweya Mutsvene.
But ye beloved, building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 Zvichengetei murudo rwaMwari pamunenge muchimirira ngoni dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu kuti dzikuuyisei kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Itirai ngoni avo vanokahadzika;
And on some be ye merciful-being discerning.
23 bvutai vamwe kubva mumoto mugovaponesa; vamwe muvanzwire ngoni dzakasanganiswa nokutya, muchivenga kunyange nenguo dzakasvibiswa nenyama.
And in fear save some, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment that was stained by the flesh.
24 Kuna iye anogona kukuchengetai kuti murege kugumburwa uye anokuisai pamberi pokubwinya kwake musina chamunopomerwa, uye nomufaro mukuru,
Now to him who is able to keep them non-stumbling, and to present before his glory, unblemished in gladness,
25 kuna iye Mwari oga muponesi wedu, ngakuve nokubwinya, umambo, simba noukuru, nokuna Jesu Kristu Ishe wedu, nguva isati yavapo, zvino nokusingaperi! Ameni. (aiōn g165)
to the only wise God our Savior, is glory, majesty, dominion and power, both now and into all the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
