< Jude 1 >
1 Yuda, kisadi ki Yesu Klisto ayi khomba yi Zaki, mfidisidi nkandawawu kuidi batu bobo Nzambi katela mbila, bobo Nzambi Tata kazola ayi balundu mu diambu di Yesu Klisto.
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Bika nlemvo, ndembama ayi luzolo bulubuelimina mu buwombo.
Mercy to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 Bakiluzolo, phuila yingolo ndiba mu kulusonikina mu diambu di phulusu yoyi yidi yeto mu kithuadi. Vayi buabu mbueni mfunu wu kulusonikina muingi ndilukindisa mu nuana mu diambu di minu kioki bavana banlongo mu khumbu yimosi kaka.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you concerning the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
4 Bila batu bankaka, bafielumuka kota va khatitsikꞌeno; thumbuduluyi batu beni yisonama thama. Batu beni bakinzikanga mambu ma Nzambi ko; bankitulanga nlemvo wu Nzambi eto mavanga ma tsoni ayi bantunukanga Yesu Klisto nlongi eto wumosi babaka ayi Pfumu.
For certain men have crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Thidi ku lutebula moyo beno lukizabidi mambu moso mu khumbu yimosi: Pfumu bu kakula batu mu tsi yi Ezipite wuvonda bobo bakambu wilukila.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 Zimbasi ziozi zikambu keba kikuluntu kiawu vayi ziyekula bibuangu biawu, Nzambi wuzi lunda zikangama mu zithangu zioso, ku tsi tombi, mu diambu di tsambusulu yi lumbu kinneni. (aïdios )
And the angels who kept not their proper abode, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
7 Bobuawu, basi Sodomo, Ngomola ayi mavula ma kinzungidila bawanga banga buvangila zimbasi; bavanga mavanga ma tsoni ma kitsuza ayi mavanga mambimbi. Badi kifuani kuidi batu bobo bela mona phasi yi thumbudulu yi mbazu yika yizimanga ko. (aiōnios )
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to gross immorality, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 Buawu bobo bumvanganga batu baba mu mayindu mawu balembo sumunazinitu ziawu; balembo lenzi kipfumu ki Nzambi, balembo fingi bivangu bi nkembo.
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Vayi Misiela nkuluntu zimbasi, bu kafindana ziphaka ayi Satana mu diambu di nitu yi Moyize kasia kumfinga ko vayi wutuba: bika Pfumu kavana thumbudulu.
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 Vayi batu bana bamvueza mambu momo bakambulu zaba vayi mambu momo bazabidi mu kimutu, banga bibulu bikambulu diela, madi mu diambu di mbivusu awu.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Mabienga kuidi bawu! Bila badiatidi mu nzila yi Kayini ayi bakiyekula mu nzimbala yi Balami mu diambu di baka mfutu ayi bafua bu batinguna banga Kola.
Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
12 Bawu beti bivisa malambu meno ma kithuadi bu bandianga, va kimosi ayi beno mu minyengo mu kambu ku tsisi. Bakukibanzilanga kaka bawu veka. Badedikini banga matuti mankambu nokisa zimvula ayi momo mamvevumunungu kuidi phemo; badedikini banga minti minkambulu buta mimbutu mu tsungi awu: bawu bafua mu zikhumbu zizole, bavuzu.
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about by winds; late autumn trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked out by the roots;
13 Badedikini banga mayo manganzi ma mbu meti loza difulu di zitsoni ziawu; badedikini banga zimbuetete zindiengila; zilundulu tombikinkobo mu zithangu zioso. (aiōn )
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (aiōn )
14 Enoki, mutu wutsambudi tona Adami, wubikula mu diambu di batu baba: Pfumu wela kuiza va kimosi ayi zimili ziandi zi zimbasi zinlongo
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 mu diambu di sambisa batu boso ayi tumbudila batu bosobobo bankinzikanga ko mambu ma Nzambi mu diambu di mavanga mawu moso mambimbi, mu diambu di kambu kuawu ku lukinzu ayi mu diambu di mambu moso ma ngolomatuba bankua masumu, batu bobo bankambu kinzikanga mambu ma Nzambi.
To execute judgment upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have impiously committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 Batu bobo baniungutanga mu zithangu zioso, beti nionga mu philayibadidi, bandiatilanga boso buididi zitsatu ziawu zimbimbi; miunu miawu mintubanga mambu ma luniemo ayi baniemisanga batu mu diambu babaka ndandu.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 Vayi beno, bakiluzolo, lutebukila moyo mambu matuba bamvuala ba Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto.
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 Ziawu zituba: “ku tsuka yi zithangu kuela totuka batu bela vueza mambu ma Nzambi, bela diatila boso buididi zitsatu ziawu zinkambu kinzikanga mambu mu Nzambi.”
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 Baba badi batu beti vambisa, bandiatilanga boso buididi kimutu kiawu; bakambulu pheve.
These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 Vayi beno bakiluzolo bika, lukitunganga beno na beno mu minu kieno kinlongo, lusambila mu Pheve yinlongo;
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Spirit,
21 Lukikeba mu luzolo lu Nzambi mu vingilanga mamboti ma Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto mu diambu di luzingu lu kalumani. (aiōnios )
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Bika lumona bau bobo balembo memata kiadi.
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 Luvukisa bankaka mu kuba totula ku mbazu; bankakalubamonina kiadi mu lukinzu; ayi bika lulenda kikhutu kioki kibivisidi nitu.
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Kuidi mutu wowo beki lulendo lu kulukebila mu kambu bua ayiku lukitula batu bakambulu tsembolo va ntuala nkemboꞌandi mu khini yingolo,
Now to him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 kuidi Nzambi yimosi kaka yituvukisa mu nzila yi Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto kubanga nkembo, bunneni, zingolo ayi lulendo tuamina zithangu zioso, buabu ayi mu zikhama zikhama zi mimvu! Amen. (aiōn )
To God the only wise, our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
