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, slave of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, those who have been sanctified by God the Father and preserved through Jesus Christ:
2 Nkumbo ne lumuno kayi ne lusuno lwesula bibe nenjamwe.
May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
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.
Dear ones, while I was really intent on writing to you about the salvation we share, I had a compulsion to write exhorting you to contend earnestly for the Faith once for all committed 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.
Because certain men, who were marked out for this condemnation long ago, have sneaked in; they are godless, perverting the grace of our God into licentiousness and denying the only Sovereign God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Lino ndayandanga kumwanushako nabimbi nambi mubishi kendi, kwambeti Lesa walapulusha mushobo wa Islayeli kufuma ku Injipito, mpwalashina bonse babula kumushoma.
So I want to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord delivered a people out of the land of Egypt yet later destroyed those who did not believe.
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)
And the angels who did not keep their proper domain but deserted their own dwelling He has kept bound in everlasting chains under darkness for 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 also Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns—who gave themselves up to fornication and went after a different kind of flesh in a manner similar to those angels—stand as an example, undergoing a 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.
Likewise these dreamers in their turn both defile flesh and reject authority and slander celestial beings.
9 Nomba Mikayeli mukulene wa bangelo mpobalikulondola ne Satana pakulwanina mubili wa Mose, uliya kumunyanshapo, walamboweti, “Lesa akukanse!”
Yet even Michael the archangel, when taking issue with the devil—he was arguing about Moses' corpse—did not dare to pronounce a reviling judgment, but said, “May 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 abusively against whatever they do not understand, while whatever they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals—by these things they are ruined.
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
Woe to them, because they have taken the way of Cain, have rushed into Balaam's error for profit, and have destroyed themselves in Korah's rebellion!
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 men are hidden reefs at your love feasts, joining the feast without fear, caring only for themselves; they are clouds without rain, carried along by winds; they are late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead (having been uprooted);
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)
they are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shameful acts; they are wandering stars, for whom the black of the darkness has been 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
Now even Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men saying: “Look, the Lord is coming with ten thousands of His holy ones
15 kombolosha bantu bonse. Kubapa cisubulo pancito shabo shaipa nshebalensa, kayi ne maswi abo aipa ngobalikumwamba.”
to execute judgment on everyone and to convict all the godless among them of all their godless deeds that they have godlessly perpetrated, also of all the harsh things they have spoken against Him—the godless sinners!”
16 Aba endibo beshikutungula, batalumbu bilenshinga banabo, beshikukonkelowa lunkumbwa lwaipa, beshikulitunta, beshikuyandowa kulyela masuku pamitwi ya banabo.
These men are grumblers and complainers, living according to their own evil desires; they talk big, flattering people to gain advantage.
17 Nomba amwe anukani ncemwalambilwa nebatumwa ba Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu.
But you, dear ones, remember the words that were spoken before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
18 Balamwambileti, “Mumasuba akumapwililisho, nikukabe bantu baminyansho, bantu beshikukonkela lunkumbwa lwabo.”
how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers who live according to their own godless desires.
19 Aba bantu ebakute kuleta kupansana, bakutekuyandowa byamucishi, mu myoyo yabo muliya Mushimu Uswepa sobwe.
These are the ones who cause division; they are ‘soulish’, not having a spirit.
20 Nomba amwe nyumfwanani kwambeti buyumi bwenga pantangu kabuli bwashimpa pa lushomo lwaswepa. Kamupailanga mungofu ya Mushimu Uswepa.
But you, dear ones, building yourselves up in 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 God's love, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ into eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Balesheni nkumbo abo bacitonshanya.
Now be merciful to some, making a distinction;
23 Nomba nabambi mubapulushe pakubasompola mumulilo. Nabambi mubaleshe nkumbo mwabuyowa, nsombi mupelane ne byakufwala byabo byatundubila ne lunkumbwa lwa bwipishi.
but others save with fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment stained 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 who is able to keep them from stumbling and to present them before His glorious presence without fault and with exultation—
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 God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, power and authority, both now and throughout all the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
