1Jude, 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:
1 Man Yudd, jaamu Yeesu Kirist, mi bokk ak Saag ndey ak baay, maa leen di bind, yéen ñi Yàlla Baay bi woo te bëgg leen, te Yeesu Kirist aar leen.
2Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
2 Na leen Yàlla may yërmande, jàmm ak mbëggeel.
3Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
3 Samay bokk, bëggoon naa leen a bind lool ci mbirum mucc gi nu bokk, waaye lii moo gën a jamp: ma xiir leen, ngeen taxaw ci aar mboolem dëgg, yi Yàlla xas a dénk gaayam yu sell yi ba fàww.
4For there are certain men 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.
4 Ndaxte am na ay nit ñu ñeme Yàlla, ñu yoxoosu ci seen biir; dañuy mbubboo yiwu Yàlla, ngir topp seen bakkan, di ci weddi Buur Yàlla miy kenn ak sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist. Fekk Mbind mi tëral na seen àtte bu yàgg.
5I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
5 Xam ngeen loolu lépp ba noppi sax, waaye dama leen koy fàttali rekk. Xam ngeen ne Boroom bi musal na xeetam, ba génne leen réewu Misra, waaye gannaaw ba raafal na ñi gëmul woon.
6And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
6 Te it malaaka ya jàppul woon ca daraja ja ñu amoon, xanaa toxoo fa ñu leen dëëloon, Yàlla yeew na leen buum yu sax, tëj leen ci biir lëndëm, di leen nége àtteb bés bu mag ba.
7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
7 Noonu itam dëkki Sodom ak Gomor ak dëkk ya leen wëroon, dañoo sóobu ci njaaloo ak di def ay góor-jigéen, waaye àtte bi dal na ci seen kaw, ba ñuy ay tegtal ci ñiy yelloo safara ba fàww.
8Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
8 Naka noonu itam gentkat yooyu may wax ñu ngi sobeel seen yaram, di weddi gépp kilifteef, di xas doole yi ci asamaan.
9Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
9 Waaye bi Mikayel, miy kilifa ci malaaka yi, di xëccook Seytaane néewu Musaa, bay xuloo ak moom, ñemewu koo àtte, boole ciy xas; mu yem ci wax ko ne: «Na la Boroom bi mbugal!»
10But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
10 Waaye nit ñii may wax, dañuy saaga li ñu xamul. Te li ñu xam ci tañaxu sax, ni bàyyima yu amul xel, dañu ci yàq seen bopp.
11Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
11 Ñoo kay torox! Dañoo jaar ci yoonu Kayin, sóobu ci réerug Balaam ngir xaalis, di bañ kilifteef ni Kore, te dinañu dee ni moom.
12These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
12 Su ñu bokkee ak yéen reeru mbooloo mi, dañu ciy indi ay, niy xeer yu nëbbu ci biir géej; amuñu genn gàcce, waaye dañuy giiroo te fonk seen biir rekk. Ñu ngi mel ni xiin yu amul ndox, yuy naaxsaay ci ngelaw; ni garab yu meññul ci jamonoy meññeef, te buddeeku, dee ba wow koŋŋ;
13Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
13 mel ni duusi géej gu mer, yuy gëq jëf yu ruslu; niy biddiiw yuy faq, te Yàlla dencal na leen lëndëm ya gën a tar ba fàww.
14And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
14 Enog, di juróom-ñaareelu maam gannaaw Aadama, waxoon na ci kàddug Yàlla, ba weer leen ne: «Boroom bi wàcce na ca asamaan, ànd ak ay junniy junniy malaakaam,
15To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
15 ngir àtte ñépp, te mbugal ñi weddi ñépp ndax ñaawteef, yi ñu jëf ci ñeme Yàlla; di leen fàttali it kàddu yu ñaaw, yi ñu ko tifaar ci seeni bàkkaar ak seen weddi.»
16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
16 Duñu noppee xultu, di jàmbat seen nekkin, tey topp seen nafsu; ay wax yu réy a ngi ball ci seen làmmiñ, waaye dañuy jey ñi ñuy yaakaare njariñ.
17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
17 Waaye yéen samay xarit, fàttalikuleen la leen ndawi sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist waxoon lu jiitu,
18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
18 ne leen: «Muju jamono ay tiiñalkat dinañu feeñ, ñuy weddi Yàlla, ngir topp seen bakkan.»
19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
19 Ñooy féewale, te Xelum Yàlla nekkul ci ñoom, waaye niti kese lañu.
20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
20 Waaye yéen samay xarit, doolewuleen ci seen yoonu ngëm wu sell, tey ñaan ci dooley Xel mu Sell mi,
21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
21 ba saxoo mbëggeelu Yàlla, tey séentu yërmandey sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist, mu tàbbal leen ci dund gu dul jeex.
22And of some have compassion, making a difference:
22 Jubbantileen ñi am werantey xel,
23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
23 ngeen musal ñale, jële leen ci safara, te yërëm ñeneen ñi, waaye boole ci moytu, ba sib sax seen yére yi taq sobe.
24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
24 Yàlla mi leen man a aar ci gépp jeng, te teewal leen fa kanam ndamam, ngeen ñàkk sikk te fees dell ak mbég;
25To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
25 Yàlla miy kenn, di sunu Musalkat, na yelloo ndam ak màgg, kàttan ak nguur, jaar ci Yeesu Kirist sunu Boroom, démb, tey, ëllëg ba fàww. Amiin.
