Judha 1
1 Judha muranda waJesu Kristu, uye munin'ina waJakobho, kune vakaitwa vatsvene muna Mwari Baba, uye vakachengetedzwa muna Jesu Kristu, vakadanwa:
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ:
2 Tsitsi kwamuri, nerugare, nerudo, ngazvipamhidzirwe.
Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Vadikanwi, ndichiita kushingaira kwese kukunyorerai zvekuponeswa kwedu tese, zvakange zvakandifanira kukunyorerai, ndichikurudzira kuti murwire rutendo rwakapiwa vatsvene kamwe.
Beloved, although I made every effort to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt it necessary to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all to the saints.
4 Nokuti kuna vamwe vanhu vakapinda nekunyangira, vakagara vanyorerwa kupiwa mhosva uku, vasingadi Mwari, vanoshandura nyasha dzaMwari wedu kuita unzenza, uye vachiramba Tenzi umwe wega Mwari, naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Asi ndinoda kukuyeuchidzai, kunyange maiziva ichi kamwe, kuti Ishe aponesa vanhu munyika yeEgipita, pashure akazoparadza avo vakange vasingatendi.
Although you are fully aware of this, I want to remind you that after Jesus had delivered His people out of the land of Egypt, He destroyed those who did not believe.
6 Nevatumwa vasina kuchengeta ukuru hwavo, asi vakasiya ugaro hwavo pachavo, wakavachengetera kutonga kwezuva guru nezvisungo zvekusingaperi pasi perima. (aïdios g126)
And the angels who did not stay within their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling—these He has kept in eternal chains under darkness, bound for judgment on that great day. (aïdios g126)
7 SeSodhoma neGomora, nemaguta akaapoteredza, akazvikumikidza kuupombwe nenzira yakafanana nawo, nekutevera imwe nyama, akaitwa mufananidzo pachena, akatambudzika pakurangwa nemoto usingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Saizvozvowo neimwe nzira neava vachirota zvirokwazvo vanosvibisa nyama, vachiramba utongi, nekutuka ukuru.
Yet in the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings.
9 Asi Mikaeri mutumwa mukuru, nguva yaakapokana nadhiabhorosi akakakavara pamusoro pemutumbi waMozisi, haana kushinga kumupa mhosva nemutongo wekutuka, asi wakati: Ishe ngaakutsiure.
But even the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not presume to bring a slanderous charge against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
10 Asi ava vanotuka zvese zvavasingazivi; asi zvese zvavanoziva pachisikirwo, semhuka dzisina pfungwa, vanozviparadza muzvinhu izvi.
These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.
11 Vane nhamo! Nokuti vakafamba nenzira yaKaini, uye vakazviwisira mukutsauka kwaBharami nekuda kwemubairo, vakaparadzwa panharo dzaKora.
Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
12 Ava makwapa pamabiko enyu erudo, kana vachipemberera nemwi, vachizvifunda vasina kutya; makore asina mvura, anotinhwa nemhepo; miti yechando, isina zvibereko, yakafa kaviri, yakadzurwa;
These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.
13 mafungu egungwa anopengereka, anopupuma nyadzi dzawo pachawo; nyeredzi dzinongombeya, vakachengeterwa kusviba kwerima nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 NaEnokiwo wechinomwe kubva kuna Adhamu, wakaporofita zvaivava achiti: Tarira, Ishe wakauya nevatsvene vake zvuru zvamazana,
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones
15 kuzoita mutongo unopikisa vese, nekupa mhosva vese vavo vasingadi Mwari pamusoro pemabasa avo ese ekusada Mwari, avakaita mukusada Mwari, nepamusoro pezvikukutu zvese vatadzi vasingadi Mwari zvavakataura maererano naye.
to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”
16 Ava van'un'uni, vasingagutsikani, vanofamba nekuchiva kwavo; uye muromo wavo unotaura zvekuzvikudza, vachirumbidza vanhu nekuda kwemubairo.
These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
17 Asi imwi vadikanwi, rangarirai mashoko akagara ataurwa nevaapositori vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu;
But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
18 kuti vakati kwamuri: Panguva yekupedzisira vaseki vachavapo, vachafamba nekuchiva kwavo kwekusada Mwari.
when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
19 Ava ndivo vanozviparadzanisa, ndevechisikirwo, vasina Mweya.
These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
20 Asi imwi vadikanwi, muchizvivaka parutendo rwenyu rwutsvene-tsvene, muchinyengetera muMweya Mutsvene,
But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 muzvichengete murudo rwaMwari, muchitarisira tsitsi dzaIshe wedu, Jesu Kristu, kusvikira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Ivaiwo netsitsi nevamwe muchipa mutsauko,
And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt;
23 asi vamwe muvaponese nekutya, muchivabvuta kubva mumoto; muchivenga kunyange nguvo yakasvibiswa nezvinobva panyama.
save others by snatching them from the fire; and to still others show mercy tempered with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
24 Zvino kuna iye anogona kukuchengetai pasina kugumburwa, nekukuteyai musina chamungapomerwa pamberi pekubwinya kwake mumufaro mukuru,
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy—
25 kuna Mwari umwe wakachenjera, Muponesi wedu, ngakuve nekubwinya uye ukuru, simba uye umambo, ikozvinowo narinhi kwese. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, and now, and for all eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
