< Yuda 1 >
1 UYuda un'sungwa ghwa Yesu Kilisite, nu nyalukolo ghwake uYakobo, kuvala vanovakemelilue vaghanike mwa Nguluve Nhaata, navanovatunzilue kwaajili ja Yesu Kilisite:
Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for Jesus Christ, and called.
2 ulutengano nulughano fyongesevue kulyumue.
May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
3 Vaghanike, un'siki ghono nilyale nivomba mungufu sooni kukuvalembela umue kuhusu uvuvangi vwitu twevoni, lukanivaghile kukuvalembela neke kukuvavunga neke musindilanile kuvwimike ulwitiko luno lulyapelilue kamo kene kuvitiiki.
Beloved, although I was making all haste to write to you in regard to our common salvation, I am compelled to write you an appeal to defend the faith once for all committed to the saints.
4 Ulwakuva avanhu vamonga vijingisie kimie kimie n'kate jinu - avanhu vano vavikilue ikivalilo neke kuhighua - avanhu vano navavitiki vano vikwandula ulusungu lwa Nguluve ghwitu kuva vukedusi na kukun'kana uMutwa ghwitu uYesu Kilisite.
For certain men have crept in stealthily - men predestined in ancient prophecies for this condemnation - impious ones! They pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness, and deny Jesus Christ, our sole Master and Lord.
5 Lino ninoghua kukuakumbusia umue nambe kuli nun'siki mulyamanyile kuvwimike kuti uMutwa alyavapokile avanhu kuhuma mu isi ja Misri, neke pambele vakabudua vala vano navakamwitikile.
I wish to remind you of what you already know right well, that although the Lord once saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he afterward destroyed those who did not believe;
6 Navanymhola vano navakalolelile uvwandilo vwave. neke vakaghaleka amakaja ghavo amanono uNguluve akavavikile mufipinywa fya kusila nakusila, mun'kate mung'isi, neke kuti ikighonovahighue ikighono kila. (aïdios )
while the angels who did not keep their first domain but left their proper abode, are held by him in blank darkness, in everlasting chains, in preparation for the judgment of the Great Day. (aïdios )
7 Ndavule isodoma ni ni gomora namakaaja ghanoghakasyungwite ghano ghakakjingisie ghaghuo muvuhosi nakulutila ulunoghelua ulwakwanda. vakavinike hene kighwani kya vala vano vipumuka mulupumuko lwa mwoto ghuno naghusila nakusila. (aiōnios )
So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the near-by cities which in like manner glutted themselves in sensuality and unnatural vice, are exhibited as a warning of the eternal fire, in the punishment they undergo. (aiōnios )
8 Mulululuo avaghonela njosi vope vilichafusia amavili ghavo nakukana uvutavulua, vikuvajovela uvudesi avimike.
Yet in just the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, while they set at naught dominion and scoff at dignities.
9 Neke nambe u Mikaeli unyamhola um'baha, un'siki ghuno alyaisindana nu setano nkuposesania nave kulutila um'bili ghwa Moose nakaghelile kuleta ulupumuko lwa vudesi vwake neke pepano akati uMutwa akudalikile.
But Michael, the Archangel, when in contending with the devil, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce sentence for blasphemy, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."
Yet these men blaspheme about matters of which they know nothing, while they use such things as they do understand by instinct (like the animals who have no reason) for their own destruction.
11 neke avanhu ava vileta uvudesi vya kyokyoni kino navakimanyile. kila kino
Alas for them! They have walked in the path of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into Balaam’s error, and have perished in Korah’s rebellion.
These are they who are stains upon your love-feasts; when they feast sumptuously without scruple, looking after none but themselves. They are clouds without water, driven along by the winds; trees of autumn, fruitless, doubly dead, torn up by the roots,
wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. (aiōn )
14 Uenoki ughwa lekela lubale mu kikolo kya Adamu akajovile kuti, “Lola uMutwa ikwisa navimike vake vinga.
It was to these, too, that Enoch, the "seventh in descent from Adam," prophesied, saying, "Lo! the Lord is come with myriads of his saints,
15 Neke avahighe avanhu voni vano navikumwitikila, na maghendele ghavo ghoni ghano valyavombile ghano naghavwimike.
to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed; and of all the hard things which they have spoken against Him, ungodly sinners that they are!"
16 Ava vevala vanovisukunala na vanovikuta, vano vilutila inoghelua savuhosi, vanovikughinia kyongo. vano visyanga avange.
For these are murmurers, always complaining. They always go where their passions lead, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, while they pay court to men for the sake of the advantage they can get.
17 neke umue, vaghanike, mukumbukaghe amasio ghano ghakajovilue pakali navasung'ua va Mutwa Yesu Kilisite.
But as for you, dearly beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 vakajovile kulyumue kuti, mu n'siki ghwa vusililo kuliiva na vanhu avanya lupiko vano vilutila inoghelua sino nasa vwimike.
how they used to say to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will be led only by their godless passions."
19 ava vevaghavanisi, vilongosivua ni nong'elua sa m'bili kange vasila Mhepo Mwimike.
These are the men, sensual and unspiritual, who cause divisions.
20 neke umue vaghanike, ndavule mukujijenga mu lwitiko lwinu lwimike kyongo, neke ndavule panomusuma mwa umhepo umwimike,
But you, beloved, continually building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and ever praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 mujitunzaghe mulughano lwa nguluve napighula ulusungu lwa Mutwa ghwitu uYesu Kilisite fino akuvapela uvukafu uvwamaka ghoni. (aiōnios )
must keep yourselves in the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ends in life eternal. (aiōnios )
22 Musonaghe ulusungu kuvala vano visukunala.
Pity some who are wavering, and save by dragging them out of the fire;
23 muvapokaghe avange kwa kuvahumia kuhuma kumwoto. kuvange musonaghe ulusungu kwa vwoghofi, mukalalaghe nambe umwenda ghunoghuponesivue ilidoa nu m'bili.
others pity, but with caution, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 lino kwa mwene junoiwesia kukuvalolela muleke pikuvala, na kukuvasababisia mwime pavulongolo pavwimike vwake, kisila mawaa nakuva nulukelo ulukulu,
Now unto Him who has power to guard you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, faultless and exultant,
25 kwa Nguluve mwene u'poki kukilila uYesu Kilisite uMutwa ghwitu, uvwimike vuve kwamwene. uvuvaha, uvuwesia ni ngufu kabla ja na lino na maka ghoni Ameni (aiōn )
to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before time began, is now, and ever shall be to all the ages. Amen. (aiōn )
