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, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called beloved in God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ.
2 Nkumbo ne lumuno kayi ne lusuno lwesula bibe nenjamwe.
Mercy to you, and peace, and divine 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, making all haste to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had need to write to you, exhorting you to agonize for the faith which was once delivered unto 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 certain men have crept in, who long ago were written down to this judgment, ungodly, transforming the grace of God into impurity, even denying Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.
5 Lino ndayandanga kumwanushako nabimbi nambi mubishi kendi, kwambeti Lesa walapulusha mushobo wa Islayeli kufuma ku Injipito, mpwalashina bonse babula kumushoma.
But I wish you to remember, once having known all these things, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, destroyed them that believed riot, the second time:
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 kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, has he kept in eternal chains unto darkness unto 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)
as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, in a manner like unto them committing fornication, and going after other flesh, present an example receiving the vengeance 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 indeed these dreamers also pollute the flesh, and reject lordship, and blaspheme glories.
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 over the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against him a judgment of blasphemy, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 Nomba bantu aba bakute lisongwe ne pabintu mbyebateshi, balo ncobeshi ni mano acisemwa mbuli abanyama, ebintu bilabashininga.
But these blaspheme so many things as they know not: and so many things as they understand naturally, like irrational animals, in these they are corrupted.
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 unto them! because they have gone off in the way of Cain, and in the delusion of Balaam they have been seduced by reward, and they perished in the gainsaying 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 are rocks in your love-feasts, feasting along with you without fear shepherdizing themselves, clouds without water, driven away by the winds; withered trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked 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)
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own disgraces; wandering stars, for which the blackness of 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
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied against these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his myriads of saints,
15 kombolosha bantu bonse. Kubapa cisubulo pancito shabo shaipa nshebalensa, kayi ne maswi abo aipa ngobalikumwamba.”
to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly of them for all the works of their ungodliness which they have impiously done, and for all their hard speeches which they have spoken against him, being ungodly sinners.
16 Aba endibo beshikutungula, batalumbu bilenshinga banabo, beshikukonkelowa lunkumbwa lwaipa, beshikulitunta, beshikuyandowa kulyela masuku pamitwi ya banabo.
These are querulous grumblers, going forth according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaking swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of gain.
17 Nomba amwe anukani ncemwalambilwa nebatumwa ba Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu.
But you, beloved, remember the words which have hitherto been 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, At the last time there will be mockers, walking according to their own lusts after ungodly things.
19 Aba bantu ebakute kuleta kupansana, bakutekuyandowa byamucishi, mu myoyo yabo muliya Mushimu Uswepa sobwe.
These are they who are sidetracking [the people], intellectual, 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 up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Ikalani mu lusuno lwa Lesa mpomulapembelelenga Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu uyo eshakamupe buyumi butapu munkumbo shakendi. (aiōnios g166)
keep yourselves in the divine love of God, receiving the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 Balesheni nkumbo abo bacitonshanya.
And some of whom indeed convict, being judged:
23 Nomba nabambi mubapulushe pakubasompola mumulilo. Nabambi mubaleshe nkumbo mwabuyowa, nsombi mupelane ne byakufwala byabo byatundubila ne lunkumbwa lwa bwipishi.
and some save, seizing them out of the fire; and some pity in their fear, you indeed hating the garment having been spotted by carnality.
24 Bulemu bube kuli uyo wela kubula kumuleketi muwile mu bwipishi, uyo wela kumushikisha pamenso abulemu bwakendi kamuli mwabula kampenda kalikonse.
But to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to establish you blameless in the presence of his glory with rejoicing.
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 only Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before every age, both now, and unto all the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
