Incwadzi YaJuda
1 Mine Juda, ngisigcili saJesu Khristu nemnakabo Jakobe,+ futsi ngibhalela labo lababitiwe+ labatsandvwa nguNkulunkulu longuBabe, nalabagcinelwe kutsi babe nebuhlobo naJesu Khristu:+
2 Shengatsi Nkulunkulu angasandzisa sihawu, kuthula nelutsandvo lanikhombisa kona.
3 Bazalwane labatsandzekako, ngisho nobe bengenta konkhe lokusemandleni ami kuze nginibhalele ngensindziso lesizuzisa sonkhe,+ ngikubone kukuhle kunibhalela kute nginikhutsate kutsi nikulwele kamatima kukholwa+ lokwanikwa labangcwele kwaba kanye kuphela. 4 Sizatfu kutsi labanye bantfu sebangene ngekunyenya emkhatsini wenu, nemiBhalo yasho kadzeni kutsi batawehlulelwa; babantfu labangamhloniphi Nkulunkulu, labagucula umusa wakhe lomkhulu bawente saba sekwenta tono letihambisana nekwedzelela*+ futsi abetsembeki kuJesu Khristu, lokunguye kuphela umnikati wetfu neNkhosi yetfu.+
5 Ngisho nobe nikwati kahle loku, ngifuna kunikhumbuta kutsi Jehova* wabasindzisa bantfu ngekubakhipha eGibhithe,+ kodvwa ngemuva kwaloko wababhubhisa labo labangazange bakhombise kukholwa.+ 6 Netingilosi letingayigcinanga indzawo yato yasekucaleni kepha letashiya indzawo yato yekuhlala lefanele,+ utibophe ngetinketane taphakadze ebumnyameni lobukhulu kuze kube lilanga lelikhulu lekwehlulelwa.+ 7 Ngendlela lefanako, iSodoma neGomora kanye nemadolobha lasedvute nayo, yatinikela ekugwadleni* ngelizinga lelisetulu yaphindze yalandzela tifiso tenyama+ letingasito temvelo. Isibonelo lesisecwayiso kitsi ngobe yatfola sijeziso semlilo waphakadze.+
8 Nanobe kunjalo, labantfu labangene ngekunyenya emkhatsini wenu baphupha emaphupho, bangcolisa imitimba yalabanye,* bedzelela labo labanemagunya futsi bakhuluma kabi ngalabakhatinyulisiwe.+ 9 Kodvwa ngesikhatsi kunekuphikisana emkhatsini waMikhayeli+ ingilosi lenkhulu+ kanye naDeveli mayelana nesidvumbu saMosi,+ Mikhayeli akazange amehlulele ngemavi lahlabako,+ kepha watsi: “Shengatsi Jehova* angakwekhuta.”+ 10 Kodvwa labantfu bakhuluma kabi ngato tonkhe tintfo labangaticondzi.+ Tonkhe tintfo labaticondza ngekwemvelo yabo njengetilwane letite ingcondvo,+ ngito labatentako futsi tiyabangcolisa.
11 Maye kubo ngobe balandzele indlela yaKhayini,+ bagijimela ekoneni kwaBhalami+ ngenca yekufuna inzuzo, futsi babhubhile ngobe njengaKhora+ nabo bakhulume kabi+ ngemadvodza laneligunya!* 12 Laba bangemadvwala lafihlwe ngephansi kwemanti emicimbini+ yenu yekukhombisana lutsandvo babe basemadzilini kanye nani, babelusi labatondla bona babe bangesabi;+ bangemafu lete imvula lapheshulwa ngumoya;+ batihlahla letingatseli ngisho nangesikhatsi sato, letifile* futsi tasishulwa; 13 bangemagagasi elwandle lolutfukutsele lakhipha emagwebu lalihlazo labo;+ batinkhanyeti letidukako, letibekelwe bumnyama lobukhulu phakadze.+
14 Enoki,+ umuntfu wesi-7 esitukulwaneni sa-Adamu, naye waphrofetha ngabo nakatsi: “Jehova* weta nemashumi etinkhulungwane etingilosi takhe letingcwele,+ 15 kuze abehlulele bonkhe,+ alahle bonkhe lababi ngenca yetento tabo letimbi labatentile, nangenca yetintfo letetfusako letikhulunywe toni ngalokumelene naye.”+
16 Labantfu bayakhonona+ futsi abenetiseki ngalabanako, balandzela tifiso tabo,+ imilomo yabo igcwele kutigabatisa lokukhulu, kantsi batsenga emehlo alabanye* kuze batizuzise bona.+
17 Nine-ke bazalwane labatsandzekako, khumbulani emavi lashiwo baphostoli beNkhosi yetfu Jesu Khristu, 18 ngobe bebavame kutsi: “Esikhatsini sekugcina kutawuba nebaphukuti, balandzele tifiso tabo tetintfo letimbi.”+ 19 Laba ngibo lababanga kwehlukana,+ banjengetilwane,* futsi bete umoya waNkulunkulu. 20 Kodvwa nine bazalwane labatsandzekako, takheni ekukholweni kwenu lokungcwele, nithantaze ngemoya longcwele,+ 21 kuze nichubeke nibantfu labatsandvwa nguNkulunkulu,+ njengobe nilindzele sihawu seNkhosi yetfu Jesu Khristu, lokutaniholela ekuphileni lokuphakadze.+ 22 Chubekani nibentela umusa+ labo labangabatako;+ 23 nibasindzise+ ngekubahlwitsa emlilweni. Chubekani nibentela umusa nalabanye futsi loko nikwente ngekwesaba, ningayitsintsi ngisho nemphahla lengcoliswe yimisebenti yabo lemibi.+
24 Kuloyo lokwati kunivikela kutsi ningagileki futsi longanenta nime ningasoleki+ embikwenkhatimulo yakhe ngenjabulo lenkhulu, 25 kuNkulunkulu lokuphela kwakhe, longuMsindzisi wetfu ngaJesu Khristu iNkhosi yetfu, akube yinkhatimulo, ludvumo, emandla neligunya kusukela endvulo, nanyalo, kuze kube phakadze. Amen.
