< 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, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, and the brother of James, to the called people, the beloved of God the Father, the preserved by Jesus the Messiah:
2 Bika nlemvo, ndembama ayi luzolo bulubuelimina mu buwombo.
Mercy and peace in love, be multiplied to you.
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.
My beloved, while I take all pains to write to you of our common life, it is needful for me to write to you, exhorting you to maintain a conflict 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 some have obtained entrance, who from the beginning were registered beforehand under this condemnation: wicked men, who pervert the grace of God to impurity, and deny him who is the only Lord God and our Lord, Jesus the Messiah.
5 Thidi ku lutebula moyo beno lukizabidi mambu moso mu khumbu yimosi: Pfumu bu kakula batu mu tsi yi Ezipite wuvonda bobo bakambu wilukila.
And I wish to remind you, though ye all know it, that God, after once rescuing the people from Egypt, again destroyed them who 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 that kept not their primacy, but left their station, he hath reserved in chains unknown, under darkness, unto 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 )
As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities, which in like manner followed whoredom and went after strange flesh, are placed beneath everlasting fire, being, doomed to judgment. (aiōnios )
8 Buawu bobo bumvanganga batu baba mu mayindu mawu balembo sumunazinitu ziawu; balembo lenzi kipfumu ki Nzambi, balembo fingi bivangu bi nkembo.
In the same manner, too, these sensual dreamers defile the flesh and despise authority, and revile excellency.
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.
But Michael the archangel, who, in debate with the Accuser, contended about the body of Moses, did not venture to bring against him a reviling declaration; but said, The Lord will 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 men revile things which they do not understand; and in the things of which they have a natural persuasion as animal beings, in these 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, after the error of Balaam, they have lusted for gain; and, in the rebellion of Korah, they have perished.
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 they who, in their feastings, riot while polluting themselves, feeding themselves without fear; clouds without rain, moved about by the winds; trees whose fruit hath failed, and they are without fruit, twice dead, and uplifted from their root;
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, which, by their foam, manifest their confusion; shootingstars, for which 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 of them also prophesied Enoch, who was the seventh from Adam, when he said: Behold, the Lord cometh, with myriads 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 the wicked, because of all the deeds they have wickedly committed; and because of all the hard speeches, which they, ungodly sinners, have uttered.
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 they who murmur and complain of every thing, while they walk according to their lusts; and their mouth speaketh shocking things; and they flatter people, for the sake of gain.
17 Vayi beno, bakiluzolo, lutebukila moyo mambu matuba bamvuala ba Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto.
But do ye, my beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the legates of our Lord Jesus the Messiah;
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.”
because they told you, that in the end of the times there would be scoffers, going after wickedness, according to their lusts.
19 Baba badi batu beti vambisa, bandiatilanga boso buididi kimutu kiawu; bakambulu pheve.
These are they that separate themselves, sensual persons, not having the Spirit.
20 Vayi beno bakiluzolo bika, lukitunganga beno na beno mu minu kieno kinlongo, lusambila mu Pheve yinlongo;
But, my beloved, be ye built up anew, in your holy faith, through the Holy Spirit, while ye pray.
21 Lukikeba mu luzolo lu Nzambi mu vingilanga mamboti ma Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto mu diambu di luzingu lu kalumani. (aiōnios )
And let us keep ourselves in the love of God, while we wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus the Messiah unto our eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Bika lumona bau bobo balembo memata kiadi.
And some of them, snatch ye from the fire.
23 Luvukisa bankaka mu kuba totula ku mbazu; bankakalubamonina kiadi mu lukinzu; ayi bika lulenda kikhutu kioki kibivisidi nitu.
And when they repent, have compassion on them, with fear, hating even the tunic that is defiled 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,
And to him who is able to preserve you faultless, and spotless, and to establish you without a blemish,
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 )
before his majesty, with joy, namely, the only God, our Deliverer, by means of Jesus the Messiah our Lord, be praise, and dominion, and honor, and majesty, both now and in all ages. Amen. (aiōn )
