Yuda 1
1 Yesu Kristo somfo Yuda a ɔyɛ Yakobo nua na ɔkyerɛw krataa yi, Ɔde kɔmaa wɔn a Onyankopɔn afrɛ wɔn na wɔte Agya Onyankopɔn dɔ ne Yesu Kristo bammɔ mu:
Judas, of Jesus Christ a servant, and brother of James, to those sanctified in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept — called,
2 Mmɔborɔhunu ne ɔdɔ a ɛdɔɔso nka mo.
kindness to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied!
3 Me nnamfonom, anka merebɔ mmɔden akyerɛw mo afa nkwagye a yɛn nyinaa te mu no ho. Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ mekyerɛw mo wɔ asɛm foforo ho na moyere mo ho gyina nokware a Onyankopɔn de ama ne nkurɔfo afebɔɔ, a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsesa mu da biara da no mu.
Beloved, all diligence using to write to you concerning the common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting to agonize for the faith once delivered to the saints,
4 Nnipa bi awiawia wɔn ho abɛfra yɛn mu a wɔkyea asɛm a ɛfa yɛn Nyankopɔn adom no ho ka se adom no nti ɔbra bɔne nsɛe hwee. Wonnye Yesu Kristo a ɔno nko ara ne yɛn Wura ne yɛn Awurade no nto mu. Kyerɛwsɛm no aka wɔn afɔbu a aba wɔn so no ho asɛm dedaw.
for there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only Master, God, and Lord — Jesus Christ — denying,
5 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ munim eyinom dedaw, nanso mepɛ sɛ mekae mo adwene wɔ gye a Awurade gyee Israelfo fii Misraim asase so na akyiri no, ɔsɛee wɔn a na wonnye asɛm no nni no ho.
and to remind you I intend, you knowing once this, that the Lord, a people out of the land of Egypt having saved, again those who did not believe did destroy;
6 Monkae abɔfo a wodii tumi traa so ma wogyaw wɔn atenae no. Wɔagu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn wɔ sum kabii mu, na Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie retwɛn da kɛse no na wabu wɔn atɛn. (aïdios g126)
messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but did leave their proper dwelling, to a judgment of a great day, in bonds everlasting, under darkness He hath kept, (aïdios g126)
7 Monkae Sodom ne Gomora ne nkurow a na atwa wɔn ho ahyia no sɛ, na mu nnipa no yɛ nguamanfo. Onyankopɔn twee wɔn aso de yɛɛ nhwɛso maa wɔn a wobenya asotwe a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ ogya a ennum da no mu. (aiōnios g166)
as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone after other flesh, have been set before — an example, of fire age-during, justice suffering. (aiōnios g166)
8 Saa ɔkwan koro no ara so na adaesofo yi nam. Wugu wɔn ankasa nipadua ho fi. Wɔpo tumidi, na wɔka nsɛmmɔne fa anuonyamfo a wɔwɔ ɔsoro no ho.
In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming also the flesh indeed do defile, and lordship they put away, and dignities they speak evil of,
9 Ɔbɔfopanyin Mikael mpo nyɛɛ saa da. Bere a Mikael ne ɔbonsam repere Mose amu so a akasakasa sii wɔn ntam no mpo, wantew ɔbonsam atua, na mmom asɛm a ɔkae ara ne sɛ, “Awurade nka wʼanim.”
yet Michael, the chief messenger, when, with the devil contending, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring up an evil-speaking judgment, but said, 'The Lord rebuke thee!'
10 Nanso saa nnipa yi tew nneɛma a wɔnte ase ho atua. Na nneɛma a wɔn abɔsu mu wɔnte ase no, sɛnea nkekaboa yɛ no, saa nneɛma koro no ara na ɛbɛsɛe wɔn.
and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted;
11 Wonnue! Ɔkwan a Kain faa so no ara so na wɔnam. Sikanibere nti, wɔde wɔn ho akɔhyɛ Bileam nnaadaasɛm ase. Wɔatew Onyankopɔn so atua sɛnea Kora yɛe pɛpɛɛpɛ, eyi nti wɔbɛsɛe wɔn.
woe to them! because in the way of Cain they did go on, and to the deceit of Balaam for reward they did rush, and in the gainsaying of Korah they did perish.
12 Wɔte sɛ nkekae fi a ɛwɔ onua aduan a ɔne wo di mu a wɔmfɛre ho. Wɔn ani ku wɔn ara wɔn ho. Na wɔte sɛ omununkum a esi na mframa bɔ no, nanso osu ntɔ. Wɔte sɛ nnua a ɛnsow aba asusowbere mu. Wɔte sɛ nnua a wɔatutu ne ntin ama awu koraa.
These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;
13 Wɔte sɛ po asorɔkye a ano yɛ den a ehuru sɛ ahuru da wɔn aniwude adi. Wɔte sɛ nsoromma a ekyinkyin a Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie ɔsɛe sum kabii mu afebɔɔ. (aiōn g165)
wild waves of a sea, foaming out their own shames; stars going astray, to whom the gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept. (aiōn g165)
14 Henok, Adam aseni a ɔto no so asia na ɔhyɛɛ saa nnipa yi ho nkɔm teteete sɛ, “Hwɛ, Awurade ne nʼabɔfo Kronkron mpempem reba,
And prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam — Enoch — saying, 'Lo, the Lord did come in His saintly myriads,
15 na wɔabebu mo nyinaa atɛn na wɔabu nnebɔneyɛfo nyinaa atɛn wɔ wɔn bɔne a wɔayɛ ne nsɛm a wɔaka atia Onyankopɔn no ho.”
to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak against Him did impious sinners.'
16 Bere biara, saa nnipa yi nwiinwii na wɔde mfomso to afoforo so. Wodi wɔn akɔnnɔ akyi. Wɔhoahoa wɔn ho na wɔdaadaa afoforo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛba abedi wɔn akyi.
These are murmurers, repiners; according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;
17 Me nnamfonom, monkae nsɛm a yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo asomafo no kae.
and ye, beloved, remember ye the sayings spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
18 Wɔkae se, “Sɛ awiei no du a nnipa a wodi mo ho fɛw na wodi wɔn akɔnnɔ akyi bɛba.”
that they said to you, that in the last time there shall be scoffers, after their own desires of impieties going on,
19 Eyinom ne nnipa a wɔnam wɔn akɔnnɔ so de mpaapaemu ba no. Na wonni Honhom no wɔ wɔn mu.
these are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the Spirit not having.
20 Enti, mo a moyɛ me nnamfonom, mitu mo fo sɛ, monkɔ so mmia mo gyidi mu. Mommɔ mpae wɔ Honhom Kronkron no tumi mu,
And ye, beloved, on your most holy faith building yourselves up, in the Holy Spirit praying,
21 na montena Onyankopɔn dɔ mu bere a moretwɛn yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo wɔ nʼahummɔbɔ mu ama wama mo nkwa a enni awiei no. (aiōnios g166)
yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ — to life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
22 Munhu wɔn a wɔn gyidi sua no mmɔbɔ.
and to some be kind, judging thoroughly,
23 Montwe wɔn mfi ogya mu nnye wɔn nkwa. Momfa osuro nhu wɔn mmɔbɔ, na munkyi ntade a wɔn bɔne nkekae akeka mu no.
and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted.
24 Na nea obetumi aso mo mu na moanhintiw, na ɔde mo asi nʼanuonyam anim sɛ nnipa a wonni dɛm wɔ ahosan mu no,
And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set [you] in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,
25 Onyankopɔn koro a ɔnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo so yɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no, ɔno na anuonyam ne kɛseyɛ ne ahoɔden ne tumi nka no mmere a atwam, ne nnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the only wise God our Saviour, [is] glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and to all the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
