Yuda 1
1 Yesu Kristo ɔsomfoɔ Yuda a meyɛ Yakobo nua na metwerɛɛ krataa yi, Mede kɔma wɔn a Onyankopɔn afrɛ wɔn na wɔte Agya Onyankopɔn dɔ ne Yesu Kristo banbɔ mu:
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 Mmɔborɔhunu ne ɔdɔ a ɛdɔɔso nka mo.
Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Me nnamfonom, anka merebɔ mmɔden atwerɛ mo afa nkwagyeɛ a yɛn nyinaa te mu no ho. Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ metwerɛ mo wɔ asɛm foforɔ ho na moyere mo ho gyina nokorɛ a Onyankopɔn de ama ne nkurɔfoɔ afebɔɔ, a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsesa mu da biara da.
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 Nnipa bi awiawia wɔn ho abɛfra yɛn mu a wɔkyea asɛm a ɛfa yɛn Onyankopɔn adom no ka sɛ adom no enti abrabɔ bɔne nsɛe hwee. Wɔnnye Yesu Kristo a ɔno nko ara ne yɛn Wura ne yɛn Awurade no nto mu. Atwerɛsɛm no aka wɔn afɔbuo a aba wɔn so no ho asɛm dada.
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 Ɛwom sɛ monim yeinom dada, nanso mepɛ sɛ mekae mo adwene wɔ ɔgye a Awurade gyee Israelfoɔ firii Misraim asase so na akyire yi, ɔsɛee wɔn a na wɔnnye asɛm no nni no ho.
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 Monkae abɔfoɔ a wɔdii tumi trasoɔ ma wɔgyaa wɔn atenaeɛ no. Wɔagu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn wɔ sum kabii mu, na Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie retwɛn ɛda kɛseɛ no, na wabu wɔn atɛn. (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 Monkae Sodom ne Gomora ne nkuro a na atwa wɔn ho ahyia no sɛ, na emu nnipa no yɛ adwamanfoɔ. Onyankopɔn twee wɔn aso de yɛɛ nhwɛsoɔ maa wɔn a wɔbɛnya asotwe a ɛde wɔn kɔ ogya a ɛnnum da no mu. (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 Saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so na adaeɛsofoɔ yi nam. Wogu wɔn ankasa onipadua ho fi. Wɔpo tumidie, na wɔka nsɛmmɔne fa animuonyamfoɔ a wɔwɔ ɔsoro ho.
Yet in the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings.
9 Ɔbɔfopanin Mikael mpo nyɛɛ saa da. Ɛberɛ a Mikael ne ɔbonsam repere Mose amu so a akasakasa sii wɔn ntam no mpo, wante ɔbonsam atua, na mmom, asɛm a ɔkaeɛ ara ne sɛ, “Awurade nka wʼanim.”
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 Nanso, saa nnipa yi te nneɛma a wɔnte aseɛ ho atua. Sɛdeɛ mmoa a wɔnni nyansa di wɔn atenka akyi no, saa ara na wɔn nso wɔdi wɔn atenka akyi wɔ nneɛma a wɔnte aseɛ ho, na yei de ɔsɛeɛ bɛba wɔn so.
These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.
11 Wɔnnue! Ɛkwan a Kain faa so no ara so na wɔnam. Sikanibereɛ enti, wɔde wɔn ho akɔhyɛ Bileam nnaadaasɛm ase. Wɔate atua atia Onyankopɔn sɛdeɛ Kora yɛeɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ. Yei enti wɔbɛsɛe wɔn.
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 Wɔte sɛ nkekaeɛ fi a ɛwɔ wo nua aduane a ɔne wo di mu a wɔmfɛre ho. Wɔn ani ku wɔn ara wɔn ho. Na wɔte sɛ omununkum a ɛsi na mframa bɔ no, nanso osuo ntɔ. Wɔte sɛ nnua a ɛnso aba asusɔberɛ mu. Wɔte sɛ nnua a wɔatutu ne nhini ama awu koraa.
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 Wɔte sɛ ɛpo asorɔkye a ano yɛ den a ɛhuru sɛ ahuro da wɔn aniwudeɛ adi. Wɔte sɛ nsoromma a ɛkyinkyini a Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie ɔsɛeɛ esum kabii mu afebɔɔ. (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 Henok, Adam aseni a ɔtɔ no so nsia na ɔhyɛɛ saa nnipa yi ho nkɔm teteete sɛ, “Hwɛ, Awurade ne nʼabɔfoɔ Kronkron mpempem reba,
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones
15 na wɔabɛbu mo nyinaa atɛn na wɔabu nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyinaa atɛn wɔ wɔn bɔne a wɔayɛ ne nsɛm a wɔaka atia Onyankopɔn no ho.”
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 Ɛberɛ biara, saa nnipa yi nwiinwii na wɔde mfomsoɔ to afoforɔ so. Wɔdi wɔn akɔnnɔ akyi. Wɔhoahoa wɔn ho na wɔdaadaa afoforɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛba abɛdi wɔn akyi.
These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
17 Me nnamfonom, monkae nsɛm a yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo asomafoɔ no kaeɛ.
But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
18 Wɔkaa sɛ, “Sɛ awieeɛ no duru a, nnipa a wɔdi mo ho fɛ bɛba, wɔn a wɔdi wɔn akɔnnɔ akyi.”
when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
19 Yeinom ne nnipa a wɔnam wɔn akɔnnɔ so de mpaapaemu ba no. Na wɔnni Honhom no wɔ wɔn mu.
These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
20 Enti, mo a moyɛ me nnamfonom, metu mo fo sɛ, monkɔ so mmia mo gyidie mu. Mommɔ mpaeɛ wɔ Honhom Kronkron no tumi mu,
But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 na montena Onyankopɔn dɔ mu ɛberɛ a moretwɛn yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo wɔ nʼahummɔborɔ mu ama wama mo nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ no. (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 Monhunu wɔn a wɔn gyidie sua mmɔbɔ.
And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt;
23 Montwe wɔn mfiri ogya mu nnye wɔn nkwa. Momfa suro nhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ, na monkyiri ntadeɛ a wɔn bɔne nkekaeɛ akeka mu.
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 Na deɛ ɔbɛtumi asɔ mo mu na moanhwinti, na ɔde mo asi nʼanimuonyam anim sɛ nnipa a wɔnni dɛm wɔ ahosane mu no,
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy—
25 Onyankopɔn korɔ a ɔnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo so yɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no, ɔno na animuonyam ne kɛseyɛ ne ahoɔden ne tumi nka no mmerɛ a atwam, ne ɛnnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Amen. (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)
