Jude 1
1 [I am] Jude. I [serve] Jesus Christ [like] a voluntary slave [MET]. I am a [younger] brother of James, [the leader of all the congregations. I am writing] to you whom [God] has chosen [to belong to him. You are] loved by God [our] Father and protected by Jesus Christ (OR, whom [God] has protected [to present] to Jesus Christ).
Nne Yuda ntumwa jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, mpwabho a Yakobho. Ngunakunjandishilanga nkupingwanga na Atati a Nnungu na kubhikwa muulele kwa ulinda gwa Yeshu Kilishitu.
2 [I pray that] you will continue to [experience] very much [God acting] mercifully toward you, [causing you to have inner] peace, and loving [you].
Ngunakumpinjilanga nnjenjesheywanje shiya na ulele na kupingana.
3 You whom I love, I (was very eager/very much wanted) to write to you about that which we all (share/have in common), which is how ([God/Jesus Christ]) [has] saved [us]. But now I realize that it is necessary [for me] to write to you in order to exhort you to defend the [truth about Christ] that we believe. [Jesus and his apostles] gave that truth once and for all to us who belong to God, [and we must not let it be changed] {[anyone revise/change it]}.
Ashaalongo, nkali napinjile kunnjandishilanga ga ngani ja ntapulo gwetu uwe tubhowe, gumweni kuti ngunapinjikwa kunnjandishilanga, nkukwiyanga mpundanje kukamulila ukoto ngulupai jimpegwilwenje mmandunji bha ukonjelo kamope.
4 Some people falsely [teach that because] God kindly does for us what we do not deserve, it (does not matter/is all right) if we continue to sin. [Those people show by the way that they conduct their lives] that they do not want to admit/accept that Jesus Christ [is] our only Master and Lord. [It was written] long ago {[Someone] long ago wrote} that [God] would condemn (such ungodly people/people like that whose lives are displeasing to him). But some [of those] people have entered [MET] [like crawling snakes] into your congregations [and oppose the truth about Christ, so you must resist/oppose them].
Pabha bhapalinji bhandu bhaijinjiyenje kwa nng'iyo, bhajandishilwenje kupanyangulwa kuumila bhukala, bhaatendanga ya nyata ikwashima a Nnungu, bhalikugupuganya ntenga gwa nema ja a Nnungu bhetu kubha shindu shangali sha mmbone, na kwaakananga a Yeshu Kilishitu bhali bha jikape, na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
5 Although you previously knew all these things, [there are certain things about] which I desire to remind you. [Do not forget that although] the Lord rescued [his people] from Egypt, he later destroyed most of those same people, ones who did not believe [in him].
Nkali mwimanyinji yowei ngunakunkumbushiyanga kuti, Bhakulungwa nankali Bhaatapwilwenje Bhaishilaeli ku Mishili, bhene bhakakwetenjeje ngulupai bhala gubhabhulegwenje.
6 And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios g126, questioned)
Na nkali ashimalaika bhalepelenje kutama ukoto nndamo jabhonji, bhashitabhwanga na a Nnungu mindondolo ja itale ja pitipiti nnubhindu, mpaka pushiliishile lyubha likulu lya ukumu. (aïdios g126)
7 Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
Nkumbushilanje bhandunji bha ilambo ya ku Shodoma na ku Gomola na ya tome na kweneko, bhashinkutendanga malinga bhene ashimalaika bhala bhalitendanga ya labhalabha na ilokoli yangali ya mmbone ya nshiilu, bhalilekanga mwa kawaida nitenda ikapinjikwa, nipanyangulwa mmoto gwa pitipiti, kubha shilangulo kubhandunji bhowe. (aiōnios g166)
8 Similarly, these [ungodly people in your midst] also defile their own bodies [by living immorally], because [they claim/say that God revealed] in visions [that they should act that way]. They refuse to [allow] anyone to have authority over them, and they (revile/speak evil about) [God’s] glorious/wonderful [angels].
Nneyo peyo nkali bhanganyabha, agamii yabhonji inanyatiya iilu yabhonji na nikuunyegaya ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu na kuilosha iumbe ya ukonjelo gwa kunnungu.
9 When (the devil/Satan) argued with the chief angel, Michael, about [who would take away] the body of [the prophet] Moses [to bury it], Michael did not [do as these teachers of false doctrine do. Even though Michael has much more authority than they do], he did not disrespectfully (revile/say evil things to) Satan and accuse/condemn him. Instead, he [only] said, “[I desire that] the Lord [God] will rebuke you!”
Nkali a Mikaeli bhakulungwa bha ashimalaika bha kunnungu, pubhataukanganaga naka Lishetani ga shiilu sha a Musha, bhangalinga kummeleketa kwa kunng'ukumula kwa malobhe ga matukano, ikabheje gwaalugwilepe, “Bhakulungwa bhayene bhakukalipile.”
10 But the [ones in your midst] who teach false doctrine (revile/speak evil against) the [spiritual] beings that they do not understand. They also [do the evil things that they desire], things that they know about (naturally/without needing to think), things that they just do without considering [the consequences/results], like animals. So they destroy themselves. [But they will also be punished by God] {[God will also] punish them}.
Ikabheje bhene bhandunjibha bhanakwiloshanga indu ibhakakwimanyanga, na indu ibhakwiganishiyanga nng'aniyo yabhonji ni ikwaobhiyanga malinga bhanyama bhangalinji lunda.
11 [God will do] terrible things to those who teach false doctrine! They conduct their lives [wickedly] like Cain, [who murdered his brother because he was] ([jealous/angry because God accepted his brother’s sacrifice and did not accept his]). These false teachers (devote themselves to [MET] [doing] wrong things [like] Balaam, who [tried to induce God’s people to sin in order to get the money that was offered to him]. They will perish like Korah, who rebelled [against the authority that God gave to Moses].
Ole gwabhonji! Pabha bhashikagulanga mpanda gwa a Kaini. Bhashibhutushilanga kupata mbwaiko muilebho malinga ya a Bhalaamu na gubhatitimilenje malinga shibhatitimile a Kola.
12 Those teachers of false doctrine are [as dangerous to you as] [MET] (hidden rocks on a reef/rocks underneath the surface of the ocean) [are to a boat]. When you gather together [to eat the meals that] help you believers to love each other more and have a closer relationship with each other, they [join you and] carouse shamelessly, caring [only] for themselves [and not for others. Because they do not do anything to help others] [MET], they are [as useless as] clouds that are blown along by the wind {that the wind blows along} but that do not [produce/give] any rain. [They are as disappointing as] [MET] trees that do not produce fruit in the autumn [as we expect them to]. They are not only [spiritually] [MET] dead themselves, [but they are] not [able to cause others to be] alive [spiritually, just like] [MET] trees that have been {that [someone] has} uprooted and [as a result] are unable to produce any fruit.
Bhene bhandunjibha, mapyotopyoto ga jogoya, bhunkulyanabhonji shalya malanga gunkuimananga kwaakumbushila a Nnungu. Bhalyanganga pamo na mmanganya, gwangali lipamba. Paalinginji mbuti maunde ganokolwa na mbungo gwangali kunya ula. Numbe malinga mikongo jipakatishe maamba na wala jikaogoya iepo na jiwile na jitutumbwilwe.
13 They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn g165, questioned)
Bhene bhandunjibho pubhalinginji malinga mabhimbili gamakulungwa ga bhaali, gakaibhilika na itendi yabhonji ya tokomaya ilitutuma liulo mbuti ndondwa ijimajima, a Nnungu bhaabhishilenje shibhiko nnubhindu lwa totolo lwa pitipiti. (aiōn g165)
14 Enoch, the sixth [person in the line of people who descended] from Adam, prophesied this about those [teachers of false doctrine]: “Listen carefully to this: The Lord will certainly come with a countless number of his holy [angels] in order
Na a Eneko bhandu bha lubheleko lwa shabha kuumila a Adamu, bhashinkulondola ga bhene bhandunjibho bhalinkuti, “Mpilikananje! Bhakulungwa bhanakwiya na bha ukonjelo bhabho maelupu kwa maelupu,
15 to judge everyone, and to punish all wicked and (ungodly people/people whose lives are displeasing to God) for all the (ungodly things/things that displease God) that they did in (an ungodly way/a way that displeases God), and for all the harsh things that ungodly sinful people have spoken against him.”
kupinga bhaaukumulanje bhandunji bhowe na kwaapotekanga bhandu bhowe bhakakwaakundanga a Nnungu, ligongo lya itendi yabhonji ya ilebho ibhatendilenje, na ligongo lya malobhe gabhonji gowe ga nyata gubhabheleketenje bhandunji bha ilebhobha, kwa a Nnungu.”
16 Those [teachers] of [false doctrine] grumble [about] the [things that God does]. They complain [about what happens to them]. They do the sinful things that their [bodies] desire. They talk boastfully. They (flatter/say nice things to) people, only in order to get [those people to give them the] things that they want.
Bhene bhandunjibha bhanainginikanga na kwigutanjila, bhalikagulilanga ilokoli yabhonji ya nyata, bhalikwiiniyanga na kwaalumbililanga bhananji kwa unami nkupinga pwaika.
17 But you people whom I love need to remember the things that were predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ {that the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen}.
Ikabheje mmanganyanji bhakilishitu ajangu, nkumbushilanje malobhe gummalanjilwenje bhukala na ashimitume bha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
18 They told you, “In the final period of time [in which we are now living] there will be people who will laugh at [the truths that God has revealed]. They will do the (ungodly things/things that are displeasing to God) that their [bodies] desire.”
Bhammalanjilenje kuti, “Mobha ga kumpelo shibhakoposhelanje bhandunji bha mbenji bhaakagulilanga ilokoli yabhonji ya nyata.”
19 [That describes] the teachers of false doctrine [well, because] they are the ones who cause divisions among believers. They do what their own minds tell them to do. The Spirit [of God] does not live within them.
Bhene bhandunjibho bhaakumbuyanga malekano na mipwilingano, bhandunji bha ilokoli ya nshiilu na lunda lwa shibhelekwe, bhangalinginji Mbumu jwa a Nnungu.
20 But you people whom I love, (hold/continue to trust) firmly to the very sacred truths that you believe. Pray by [letting] the Holy Spirit enable/empower you.
Ikabheje mmanganyanji bhakilishitu ajangunji ntamangane ukoto nngulupai yenunji ya mmbone nnilongoywanga naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo nkujuga.
21 Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios g166)
Ntamangane malinga shibhapinga a Nnungu, akuno nnilindililanga shiya sha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu mpaka mpatanje gumi gwa pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
22 Mercifully [help] those who are not certain [what teaching they should believe].
Mwaabhonelanje shiya bhandunji bhakwetenje lipamba,
23 [Rescue] others from [the influence of those who teach what is false] [MET], [as you would rescue things by] snatching [them from] a fire. Pity those [whom the teachers of false doctrine have completely convinced], but beware that [you yourselves are not influenced by them] {that they do not influence you}. Detest [doing or even thinking about the sins that those people commit, just like you would detest] [MET] touching not only filthy things but the clothes that were stained by those things {that those things stained}.
Bhananji mwaatapulanje pa moto gwa ukumu. Mwaabhonelanje shiya nnikwiiteiganga na nnishimwanga na yambi inyatiya iilu yabhonji.
24 God is able to keep you from ceasing to trust in him (OR, from sinning), and he is able to bring you into his glorious presence. [As you stand before him], there will be nothing [for which] you [will] be condemned {[he can] condemn you}, and you will be rejoicing greatly.
Kwa Bhene bhaakombola kumpanganga ulinda nnaikubhalanje nigwa na bhakummikanga muukonjelo gwabho gwangali ilebho na kwa nng'angalo gwa punda,
25 He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
Bhenebho ni a Nnungu bha jikape, Bhaatapula bhetu kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu, ukonjelo ku bhenebho na ukulungwa na mashili kuumila bhukala, na nnaino na pitipiti. Amina. (aiōn g165)
