Yuda 1
1 Njame Yuda musebenshi wa Yesu Klistu, ndemukwabo Jemusi. Ndalembelenga njamwe omwalakwiwa ne Lesa omwekala mu lusuno lwa Lesa Bata omwashinkililwa ne Yesu Klistu.
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Nkumbo ne lumuno kayi ne lusuno lwesula bibe nenjamwe.
mercy be to you, and peace and love be multiplied.
3 Mobanse bame, ndayandishishanga kumulembela kalata kwambeti ndimwambile shalupulusho lwetu twense. Nomba lino ndabono kwambeti caina kumulembela nekumusenga mwangofu kwambeti mulwane nkondo yakucingilisha lushomo Lesa ndwalapa bantu kankanda kamowa.
Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, I thought it necessary to write to you, and exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
4 Ndamulembelenga pakwinga bantu nabambi batanyumfwili Lesa bakute kwiyisha biyisho byabwepeshi balengili pakati penu mwakutabenshiba. Aba ebantu mbwalamba Lesa mu Mabala Aswepa mumisemano yakunyuma kwambeti nakabape cisubulo. Pakwinga bakute kupindamuna makani alambanga lusuno lwa Lesa kwambeti, babepeshelemo bensanga bufule. Ebakute kukana Yesu Klistu Mwami wetu.
For some men have stealthily entered in, who were long ago appointed to this condemnation; ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God, and use it for lascivious purposes, and deny our only Sovereign and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Lino ndayandanga kumwanushako nabimbi nambi mubishi kendi, kwambeti Lesa walapulusha mushobo wa Islayeli kufuma ku Injipito, mpwalashina bonse babula kumushoma.
But I wish to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people from the land of Egypt, then destroyed those who believed not.
6 Kayi kamwanukani bangelo balabula kwikuta ne bwendeleshi bwabo bwelela, balashiya musena Lesa ngwalabapa. Neco Lesa wabasunga ncetani shitapu mu mushinshe mpaka busuba bwalombolosho. (aïdios g126)
The angels also that kept not their own dominion, but left their proper habitation, he has reserved, in eternal chains under darkness, to the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)
7 Kayi kamwanukani minshi ibili ya Sodomu ne Gomola yalikuba yabambana. Umo bantu mobali kwinsa bufule ne bintu nabimbi byasafwana bitayandiki ku muntu. Lesa walabapa cisubulo kwambeti cibe cilesho kuli bonse. (aiōnios g166)
So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities which were about them, in like manner giving themselves over to lewdness, and following after other flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Nabo bantu aba balenshinga cimocimo, balakonkelenga maloto alepishinga mibili yabo, balakananga bwendeleshi bwa Lesa, balatukananga bilengwa byakwilu byalemekwa.
Yet, these dreamers also in like manner defile the flesh, despise government, and speak evil of dignitaries.
9 Nomba Mikayeli mukulene wa bangelo mpobalikulondola ne Satana pakulwanina mubili wa Mose, uliya kumunyanshapo, walamboweti, “Lesa akukanse!”
But Michael the archangel, when, contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke you.
10 Nomba bantu aba bakute lisongwe ne pabintu mbyebateshi, balo ncobeshi ni mano acisemwa mbuli abanyama, ebintu bilabashininga.
But these speak evil of the things which they know not: and those things which they know naturally, as animals without reason, in these they corrupt themselves.
11 Bakute malele pakwinga balakonkelenga nshila njalamanta Kaini. Kayi mbuli ncalensa Balamu, balawili mubwipishi cebo cakuyandishisha mali. Balamupandukili Lesa mbuli calensa Kola, neco naboyo balonongeke
Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain: and, in the error of Balaam, they have rushed headlong after reward, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
12 Aba ebalepishinga mibungano yenu yalusuno. Baliya nsoni balalinga pamo ne njamwe, balayandangowa byabo. Balyeti makumbi ilanyakangwa ne mpepo, makumbi abula mfula. Balyeti bitondo bitaseme bisepo pacindi cakendi, bitondo ibyo bantu mbyebalashukulu miyanda bilafwililili.
These, while feasting with you, are spots in your lovefeasts, feeding themselves without fear; they are clouds without water, driven along by winds; trees of autumn, without fruit, twice dead, torn up by the roots:
13 Balyeti mankape apa lwenje, bakute kupulisha mapofu abintu byabo byasafwana. Balyeti nyenyenshi shilataiki nshila. Neco Lesa wabasungila mu mushinshe wanjobe bani utapu. (aiōn g165)
raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame: wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved forever. (aiōn g165)
14 Enoki wamusemano wacisanu ne cibili kufumina kuli Adamu walalalukapo sha bantu aba mpwalambeti, “Bonani Lesa pamo ne bangelo batabelengeke lesanga
And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied with reference to these men, saying: Behold, the Lord comes with his holy myriads,
15 kombolosha bantu bonse. Kubapa cisubulo pancito shabo shaipa nshebalensa, kayi ne maswi abo aipa ngobalikumwamba.”
to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly works, which they have impiously committed, and of all the hard words which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 Aba endibo beshikutungula, batalumbu bilenshinga banabo, beshikukonkelowa lunkumbwa lwaipa, beshikulitunta, beshikuyandowa kulyela masuku pamitwi ya banabo.
These are murmurers, fault-finders, walking according to their own desires; and their mouth speaks boastful words, while they admire persons for the sake of gain.
17 Nomba amwe anukani ncemwalambilwa nebatumwa ba Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu.
But do you, beloved, remember the words that were formerly spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 Balamwambileti, “Mumasuba akumapwililisho, nikukabe bantu baminyansho, bantu beshikukonkela lunkumbwa lwabo.”
that they said to you, There should come, in the last days, scoffers walking according to their own ungodly desires.
19 Aba bantu ebakute kuleta kupansana, bakutekuyandowa byamucishi, mu myoyo yabo muliya Mushimu Uswepa sobwe.
These are they who separate themselves, animal, not having the Spirit.
20 Nomba amwe nyumfwanani kwambeti buyumi bwenga pantangu kabuli bwashimpa pa lushomo lwaswepa. Kamupailanga mungofu ya Mushimu Uswepa.
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 Ikalani mu lusuno lwa Lesa mpomulapembelelenga Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu uyo eshakamupe buyumi butapu munkumbo shakendi. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, in order to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Balesheni nkumbo abo bacitonshanya.
And on some, have compassion, making a distinction:
23 Nomba nabambi mubapulushe pakubasompola mumulilo. Nabambi mubaleshe nkumbo mwabuyowa, nsombi mupelane ne byakufwala byabo byatundubila ne lunkumbwa lwa bwipishi.
and others, save by fear, snatching them from the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Bulemu bube kuli uyo wela kubula kumuleketi muwile mu bwipishi, uyo wela kumushikisha pamenso abulemu bwakendi kamuli mwabula kampenda kalikonse.
Now to him that is able to keep you free from stumbling, and to present you blameless in the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 Kuli Lesa mupulushi wetu kupitila muli Yesu Klistu Mwami wetu kube bulemu ne bukulene ne ngofu kayi ne bwendeleshi, kufumina cindi cakunyuma, pacino cindi kayi ne kucindi citapu! Ameni. (aiōn g165)
to the only God our Savior, be glory and majesty, strength and authority, both now and throughout all the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
