< Jude 1 >
1 Juda, ìránṣẹ́ Jesu Kristi àti arákùnrin Jakọbu, Sí àwọn tí a pè, olùfẹ́ nínú Ọlọ́run Baba, tí a pamọ́ fún Jesu Kristi:
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, to those who are called and sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Kí àánú, àlàáfíà àti ìfẹ́ kí ó máa jẹ́ tiyín ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Ẹ̀yin ọ̀rẹ́ mi tòótọ́, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé èmí ní ìtara láti kọ̀wé sí i yín nípa ìgbàlà tí í ṣe ti gbogbo ènìyàn, n kò gbọdọ̀ má kọ̀wé sí yín, kí ń sì gbà yín ní ìyànjú láti máa jà fitafita fún ìgbàgbọ́, tí a ti fi lé àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ lọ́wọ́ ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan ṣoṣo.
Beloved, although I was quite eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
4 Nítorí àwọn ènìyàn kan ń bẹ tí wọ́n ń yọ́ wọlé, àwọn ẹni tí a ti yàn láti ìgbà àtijọ́ sí ẹ̀bi yìí, àwọn aláìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, tí ń yí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run wa padà sí wọ̀bìà, tí wọn sì ń sẹ́ Olúwa wa kan ṣoṣo náà, àní, Jesu Kristi Olúwa.
For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have crept in unnoticed. They are ungodly men who pervert the grace of our God, turning it into a license for sensuality. By doing so, they deny God, who is our only Master, and also the Lord Jesus Christ.
5 Nítòótọ́, ẹ ti mọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan rí, mo fẹ́ rán an yín létí pé, lẹ́yìn tí Olúwa ti gba àwọn kan là láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, lẹ́yìn náà ni ó run àwọn tí kò gbàgbọ́.
Now I want to remind you, although you already know this, that after the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.
6 Àti àwọn angẹli tí kò tọ́jú ipò ọlá wọn, ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn fi ipò wọn sílẹ̀, àwọn tí ó pamọ́ sínú ẹ̀wọ̀n àìnípẹ̀kun ní ìsàlẹ̀ òkùnkùn de ìdájọ́ ọjọ́ ńlá nì. (aïdios )
And the angels who did not keep within their proper domain, but left their own dwelling, he has kept under darkness in everlasting chains for the judgment of the great day. (aïdios )
7 Àní bí Sodomu àti Gomorra, àti àwọn ìlú agbègbè wọn, ti fi ara wọn fún àgbèrè ṣíṣe, tí wọ́n sì ń tẹ̀lé ará àjèjì lẹ́yìn, àwọn ni ó fi lélẹ̀ bí àpẹẹrẹ, àwọn tí ó ń jìyà iná àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios )
Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in fornication and went after strange flesh in a manner similar to those angels, serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios )
8 Bákan náà ni àwọn wọ̀nyí ń sọ ara wọn di èérí nínú àlá wọn, wọ́n ń gan ìjòyè, wọn sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ búburú sí àwọn ọlọ́lá.
In the same way these ungodly men, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile glorious beings.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n Mikaeli, olórí àwọn angẹli, nígbà tí ó ń bá Èṣù jiyàn nítorí òkú Mose, kò sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí i; ṣùgbọ́n ó wí pé, “Olúwa bá ọ wí.”
But when Michael the archangel was contending with the devil and disputing about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a reviling judgment against him, but said, “May the Lord rebuke yoʋ!”
10 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn wọ̀nyí n sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí ohun gbogbo ti kò yé wọn: ṣùgbọ́n ohun gbogbo tí wọn mọ̀ nípa èrò ara ni, bí ẹranko tí kò ní ìyè, nípasẹ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni wọ́n di ẹni ìparun.
Yet these men slander whatever they do not understand, and they are corrupted by what they, like irrational beasts, instinctively comprehend.
11 Ègbé ni fún wọn! Nítorí tí wọ́n ti rìn ní ọ̀nà Kaini, wọ́n sì fi ìwọra súré sínú ìṣìnà Balaamu nítorí ère, wọn ṣègbé nínú ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ Kora.
Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, they rushed for reward to the error of Balaam, and they perished in the rebellion of Korah.
12 Àwọn wọ̀nyí ní ó jẹ́ àbàwọ́n nínú àsè ìfẹ́ yín, nígbà tí wọ́n ń bá yín jẹ àsè, àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn ti ń bọ́ ara wọn láìbẹ̀rù. Wọ́n jẹ́ ìkùùkuu láìrọ òjò, tí a ń ti ọwọ́ afẹ́fẹ́ gbá kiri; àwọn igi aláìléso ní àkókò èso, wọ́n kú lẹ́ẹ̀méjì, a sì fà wọ́n tú tigbòǹgbò tigbòǹgbò.
These men are hidden reefs at your love feasts, feeding themselves as they feast among you without fear. They are clouds without water, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, pulled up by the roots.
13 Wọ́n jẹ́ ìjì líle ti ń ru ní ojú omi Òkun, ti ń hó ìfófó ìtìjú wọn jáde; alárìnkiri ìràwọ̀, àwọn tí a pa òkùnkùn biribiri mọ́ dè láéláé. (aiōn )
They are wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shameful deeds; wayward stars, for whom the thick gloom of darkness has been reserved forever. (aiōn )
14 Àwọn wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú ni Enoku, ẹni keje láti ọ̀dọ̀ Adamu, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa wọn pé, “Kíyèsi i, Olúwa ń bọ̀ pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún ní ọ̀nà ẹgbẹ̀rún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ mímọ́,
Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, “Behold, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones
15 láti ṣe ìdájọ́ gbogbo ènìyàn, láti dá gbogbo àwọn aláìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run lẹ́bi ní ti gbogbo iṣẹ́ àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run wọn, ti wọ́n ti fi àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run ṣe, àti ní ti gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ líle tí àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ aláìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run ti sọ sí i.”
to execute judgment against all and to convict all the ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way, and to convict ungodly sinners of all the harsh words they have spoken against him.”
16 Àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ní àwọn ti ń kùn, àwọn aláròyé, ti ń rìn nípa ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ara wọn; wọn ń gbéraga nípa ara wọn, wọ́n sì ń ṣátá àwọn ènìyàn mìíràn fún èrè ara wọn.
These men are grumblers and complainers, walking according to their own lusts. They speak bombastic words with their mouths, admiring people for their own advantage.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin olùfẹ́, ẹ rántí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí a ti sọ ṣáájú láti ọwọ́ àwọn aposteli Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
But you, beloved, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold,
18 Bí wọn ti wí fún yín pé, “Nígbà ìkẹyìn àwọn ẹlẹ́gàn yóò wà, tí wọn yóò máa rìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run ti ara wọn.”
how they said to you, “In the end times there will be scoffers who walk according to their own ungodly lusts.”
19 Àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ẹni tí ń ya ara wọn sí ọ̀tọ̀, àwọn ẹni ti ara, tí wọn kò ni Ẹ̀mí.
These people cause divisions; they are worldly and do not have the Spirit.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin, olùfẹ́, ti ẹ ń gbé ara yín ró lórí ìgbàgbọ́ yín tí ó mọ́ jùlọ, ti ẹ ń gbàdúrà nínú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 Ẹ máa pa ara yín mọ́ nínú ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, bí ẹ̀yin ti ń retí àánú Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi tí yóò mú yín dé ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios )
must keep yourselves in the love of God as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. (aiōnios )
22 Ẹ máa ṣàánú fún àwọn tí ń ṣe iyèméjì.
Have mercy on some, using discernment;
23 Ẹ máa gba àwọn ẹlòmíràn là, nípa fífà wọ́n yọ kúrò nínú iná; kí ẹ sì máa ṣàánú pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù kí ẹ sì kórìíra ẹ̀wù tí ara ti sọ di èérí.
and others save with fear by snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment that is stained by the flesh.
24 Ǹjẹ́ mo fi yín lé ẹni tí o lè pa yín mọ́ kúrò nínú ìkọ̀sẹ̀, tí o sì lè mú yín wá síwájú ògo rẹ̀ láìlábùkù pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ ńlá lọ́wọ́—
Now to him who is able to keep them from falling and to make them stand unblemished in the presence of his glory with great joy,
25 tí Ọlọ́run ọlọ́gbọ́n nìkan ṣoṣo, Olùgbàlà wa, ní ògo àti ọláńlá, ìjọba àti agbára, nípasẹ̀ Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, kí gbogbo ayé tó wà, nísinsin yìí àti títí láéláé! Àmín. (aiōn )
to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, power and authority, both now and forevermore. Amen. (aiōn )
