1Jude, bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called ones beloved in God [the] Father and preserved in Jesus Christ:
2ṛṛeḥma, talwit d leḥmala a wen-d-tețțunefkent s tugeț !
2Mercy to you, and peace, and love be multiplied.
3A wid eɛzizen, acḥal aya segmi i bɣiɣ a wen-n-aruɣ ɣef wayen yeɛnan leslak i ɣ-icerken, walaɣ belli ilaq-iyi a kkun-nhuɣ iwakken aț-țesɛum tazmert aț-țḥadrem ɣef liman, liman i d-yețțunefken yiwet n tikkelt i wid i gextaṛ Sidi Ṛebbi.
3Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
4Axaṭer kra n yemdanen skecmen-d iman-nsen gar-awen, sseɛwajen lmeɛna n ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken ad ffren yir tikli-nsen, nekṛen ula d Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, win yellan d Ssid-nneɣ ; lɛiqab i ten-yețṛaǧun d ameqqran akken i d-ițwaxebbeṛ si zik di tira iqedsen.
4For certain men have got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly [persons], turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
5?as akken teẓram ayagi meṛṛa, bɣiɣ a kkun-id-smektiɣ belli asmi i d-isellek Sidi Ṛebbi agdud-is si tmurt n Maṣer yessenger gar-asen wid akk yugin ad amnen yis ;
5But I would put you in remembrance, you who once knew all things, that the Lord, having saved a people out of [the] land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed those who had not believed.
6daɣen, lmalayekkat-nni ur neṭṭif ara di ccan i sent-id-ițțunefken, meɛna ǧǧant imukan-nsent eɛlayen, Sidi Ṛebbi yeqqen-itent di ṭṭlam i dayem alamma d ass ameqqran n lḥisab.
6And angels who had not kept their own original state, but had abandoned their own dwelling, he keeps in eternal chains under gloomy darkness, to [the] judgment of [the] great day;
7Akken daɣen i tedṛa d imezdaɣ n temdinin n Sudum d Gumuṛ akk-d tudrin i sent-id-yezzin, ixeddmen anagar ticmatin d zzna, qqiment-ed d lemtel mi tent-yessenger Sidi Ṛebbi s tmes yecban times n ǧahennama ;
7as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them, committing greedily fornication, in like manner with them, and going after other flesh, lie there as an example, undergoing the judgment of eternal fire.
8imdanen-agi daɣen i d-ikecmen gar-aneɣ xeddmen am nutni, tirga-nsen ssawaḍent-țen ad xedmen ticmatin, ur setɛeṛfen ara s lḥekma n Sidi Ṛebbi, reggmen ula d lmalayekkat yellan deg igenwan.
8Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile [the] flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities.
9Ula d lmelk Mixayel ur yexdim ara annect-agi asm'akken i gennuɣ akk-d Cciṭan ɣef lǧețța n Sidna Musa ; yegguma a t-yergem ula d rregmat meɛna yenna-yas kan : a k-iɛaqeb Sidi Ṛebbi.
9But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil he reasoned about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a railing judgment against [him], but said, [The] Lord rebuke thee.
10Meɛna imdanen-agi reggmen ayen ur ssinen ara, ula d ayen akken ssnen i gessen ula d lmal ur nefhim ara, yețțawi-ten anagar ɣer nnger-nsen.
10But these, whatever things they know not, they speak railingly against; but what even, as the irrational animals, they understand by mere nature, in these things they corrupt themselves.
11A tawaɣit-nsen ! Axaṭer tebɛen lǧeṛṛa n Kahin, sṛuḥen iman-nsen di leɣlaḍ, yewwi-ten ṭṭmeɛ n yedrimen am Belɛam, negren am akken yenger Kuri asm'akken i d-yekker ɣer ccwal.
11Woe to them! because they have gone in the way of Cain, and given themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12D ugur ameqqran m'ara ṭṭfen imukan gar-awen ɣer imensi n tegmaț, zehhun mbla lḥecma, țxemmimen kan ɣef yiman-nsen. Cban asigna yețțawi waḍu, ur d-yețțak lehwa ; cban ttjuṛ ur d-nețțak ara lfakya di lawan-nsent, mmutent, qquṛent dɣa țwaqelɛent.
12These are spots in your love-feasts, feasting together [with you] without fear, pasturing themselves; clouds without water, carried along by [the] winds; autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;
13Akken i d-ṭṭeggiṛent lemwaji timeqqranin tikufta-nsent n lewsex, i d-ssufuɣen nutni tikufta n leɛṛuṛ-nsen. Cban itran ixețțin, iɣellin ɣer dderb n ṭṭlam i sen ițwaheggan.
13raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity.
14Fell-asen i d-icar Hinux iɛacen di lǧil wis sebɛa deffir Adem, mi d-yenna : atan a d-yas Sidi Ṛebbi nețța d luluf n lmalayekkat-is
14And Enoch, [the] seventh from Adam, prophesied also as to these, saying, Behold, [the] Lord has come amidst his holy myriads,
15iwakken ad iḥaseb imdanen meṛṛa, ad iɛaqeb imcumen ur ten-tḍuɛ ara, ɣef yir lecɣal-nsen, ɣef rregmat i d-ssufuɣen yemcumen-agi seg yimawen-nsen .
15to execute judgment against all; and to convict all the ungodly of them of all their works of ungodliness, which they have wrought ungodlily, and of all the hard [things] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16Imdanen-agi ur steqniɛen ara deg wayen xeddmen, teddun s lebɣi n tnefsit-nsen ; imeslayen-nsen ččuṛen d zzux, sqizziben i yemdanen ɣef ddemma n nnfeɛ-nsen.
16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of profit.
17Ma d kunwi a wid eɛzizen, mmektit-ed ayen i wen-d-nnan yakan ṛṛusul n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ
17But *ye*, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18asm'akken i wen-d-qqaṛen : di zzman aneggaru ad ilin wid ara yețmesxiṛen fell-awen, ara ilḥun s lebɣi n tnefsit-nsen.
18that they said to you, that at [the] end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses.
19Ihi, d wigi i d-yețțawin lxilaf ger yemdanen, țxemmimen anagar ɣef wayen yeɛnan ddunit, ur sɛin ara Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen n Sidi Ṛebbi deg wulawen-nsen.
19These are they who set [themselves] apart, natural [men], not having [the] Spirit.
20Ma d kunwi ay iḥbiben-iw, snernit liman-nwen yeṣfan, deɛɛut s tezmert n Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.
20But *ye*, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21?ṭfet di leḥmala n Sidi Ṛebbi, țeklet ɣef ṛṛeḥma n Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, ara wen-d-yefken tudert yețdumun.
21keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22?unnet ɣef wid yețcukkun sfehmetțen
22And of some have compassion, making a difference,
23iwakken ad țțuselken, jebdet-țen-id si tmes. Llan daɣen wiyaḍ ilaq aț-țḥunnem fell-asen meɛna ɣuṛ-wat aț-țennalem ulamma d llebsa-nsen i tessenǧes lǧețța-nsen.
23but others save with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24Tanemmirt tameqqrant i win yesɛan tazmert ad iḥader fell-awen iwakken ur tețțecḍem ara, a kkun-id isbedd zdat-es mbla lɛib di tmanegt- ines s lfeṛḥ ameqqran.
24But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,
25Tamanegt tameqqrant i Sidi Ṛebbi awḥid i gellan d amsellek-nneɣ s Ɛisa Lmasiḥ Ssid-nneɣ ; i Yillu nneɣ lhiba, tazmert, lḥekma akk-d lɛaḍima, uqbel a d-texleq ddunit, di lweqt-agi akk-d lweqat i d-iteddun ! Amin !
25to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen.
