< Judha 1 >

1 Judha, muranda waJesu Kristu nomununʼuna waJakobho, kuna vaya vakadanwa, vanodikanwa naMwari Baba, vanochengetwa naJesu Kristu:
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 Ngoni, rugare norudo ngazviwande kwamuri.
May mercy, and peace, and love, be multiplied to you.
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 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 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 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 Kunyange maizviziva henyu kare, ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai kuti Ishe akasunungura vanhu vake kubva muIjipiti, asi pashure akaparadza vaya vakanga vasingatendi.
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 Uye vatumwa vasina kuchengeta nzvimbo youkuru hwavo asi vakasiya musha wavo, ivava akavachengeta murima, vakasungwa nengetani dzokusingaperi vakamirira kutongwa pazuva guru. (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 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, Sodhomu neGomora uye namaguta akanga akapoteredza akazvipa kuupombwe nokutsauka, akava muenzaniso wavaya vari pakurangwa nomoto usingaperi. (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 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, ava varoti vanosvibisa miviri yavo, vachiramba vakuru uye vachituka zvisikwa zvokudenga.
Truly, in like manner, also, shall these dreamers be punished--who, indeed, defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme dignities.
9 Asi kunyange Mikaeri mutumwa mukuru, paakanga achirwa nadhiabhori pamusoro pomuviri waMozisi, haana kutsunga kutaura mashoko okutuka nokumupomera mhosva, asi akati, “Ishe ngaakutuke!”
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 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, 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 Vane nhamo! Vakasarudza nzira yaKaini; vakamhanyira mubayiro wokutsauka kwaBharamu; vakaparadzwa mukupanduka kwaKora.
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 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 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 Mafungu egungwa anopenga, anopupuma nyadzi dzawo; nyeredzi dzinodzungaira, ivava vakachengeterwa rima guru nokusingaperi. (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 Enoki, wechinomwe kubva kuna Adhamu, akaprofita pamusoro pavanhu ava achiti, “Tarirai, Ishe ari kuuya nezviuru nezviuru zvavatsvene vake
Now, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, indeed, concerning these men; saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with his myriads of holy angels,
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 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 Vanhu ava vanyunyuti uye vapomeri; vanotevera kuchiva kwavo vamene; vanozvirumbidza pachavo uye vanobata vamwe kumeso kuti zvivanakire ivo.
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 Asi, vadikani, rangarirai zvakataurwa navapostori vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
But, beloved, remember the words which were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 Vakati kwamuri, “Munguva yokupedzisira kuchava navaseki vachatevera kuchiva kwavo.”
that they said to you, that in the last time there would be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly lusts.
19 Ava ndivo vanhu vanokuparadzanisai, vanotevera nyama yavo uye vasina Mweya.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 Asi imi, vadikani, zvivakei mukutenda kwenyu kutsvene uye munyengetere muMweya Mutsvene.
But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying with a 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, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Itirai ngoni avo vanokahadzika;
And making a difference, have compassion, indeed, on some:
23 bvutai vamwe kubva mumoto mugovaponesa; vamwe muvanzwire ngoni dzakasanganiswa nokutya, muchivenga kunyange nenguo dzakasvibiswa nenyama.
but others, save by fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted 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 guard you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory, with exceeding joy;
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 God, alone our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now, and throughout all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
