Yohane 14
1 “Mtima wanu usavutike. Khulupirirani Mulungu; khulupirirani Inenso.
Inhliziyo yenu kayingakhathazeki; liyakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kholwani lakimi.
2 Mʼnyumba mwa Atate anga muli zipinda zambiri. Kukanakhala kuti mulibemo ndikanakuwuzani. Ine ndikupita kumeneko kukakukonzerani malo.
Ekhaya likaBaba kukhona izindlu ezinengi; kodwa uba kwakungenjalo, ngabe ngalitshela. Ngiyahamba ukuyalilungisela indawo.
3 Ndipo ndikapita kukakukonzerani malo, ndidzabweranso kudzakutengani, kuti kumene kuli Ineko, inunso mukakhale komweko.
Njalo nxa ngihamba ngisiyalilungisela indawo, ngizabuya futhi ngilemukele kimi; ukuze kuthi lapho mina engikhona, libe khona lani.
4 Inu mukudziwa njira ya kumene Ine ndikupita.”
Lalapho mina engiya khona liyakwazi, lendlela liyayazi.
5 Tomasi anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye ife sitikudziwa kumene Inu mukupita, nanga tingadziwe bwanji njirayo?”
UTomasi wathi kuye: Nkosi, kasikwazi lapho oya khona; pho, singayazi njani indlela?
6 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ine ndine njira, choonadi ndi moyo. Palibe munthu angafike kwa Atate popanda kudzera mwa Ine.
UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyindlela, leqiniso, lempilo; kakho oza kuBaba, kodwa ngami.
7 Mukanandidziwadi Ine, mukanadziwanso Atate anga. Kuyambira tsopano, mukuwadziwa ndipo mwawaona.”
Uba belingazile, belizamazi loBaba; njalo kusukela khathesi liyamazi, selimbonile.
8 Filipo anati, “Ambuye, tionetseni Atatewo ndipo ife tikhutitsidwa.”
UFiliphu wathi kuye: Nkosi, sitshengise uYihlo, njalo kusanele.
9 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi iwe Filipo, ndakhala pakati panu nthawi yonseyi ndipo iwe sukundidziwabe? Aliyense amene waona Ine, waonanso Atate. Tsono ukunena bwanji kuti, ‘Tionetseni Atate?’
UJesu wathi kuye: Sengilani isikhathi eside kangaka, kawukangazi, Filiphu? Yena obone mina, ubone uBaba; njalo utsho njani ukuthi: Sitshengise uYihlo?
10 Kodi sukukhulupirira kuti Ine ndili mwa Atate, ndipo Atate ali mwa Ine? Mawu amene Ine ndiyankhula kwa inu si mawu anga okha koma ndi mawu Atate wokhala mwa Ine, amene akugwira ntchito yake.
Kawukholwa yini ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, loBaba ukimi? Amazwi mina engiwakhuluma kini, kangizikhulumeli ngokwami; kodwa uBaba ohlezi kimi, yena wenza imisebenzi.
11 Khulupirirani Ine pamene ndi kuti Ine ndili mwa Atate ndipo Atate ali mwa Ine. Koma ngati si chomwecho, khulupiriranitu Ine chifukwa cha ntchito zanga zodabwitsa.
Ngikholwani ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, loBaba ukimi; njalo uba kungenjalo, ngikholwani ngenxa yemisebenzi ngokwayo.
12 Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense amene akhulupirira Ine adzachita zimene Ine ndakhala ndikuchita. Iye adzachita ngakhale zinthu zazikulu kuposa zimenezi, chifukwa ndikupita kwa Atate.
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Okholwa kimi, imisebenzi engiyenzayo uzayenza laye, lemikhulu kulale uzayenza; ngoba mina ngiya kuBaba.
13 Ndipo Ine ndidzachita chilichonse chimene inu mudzapempha mʼdzina langa kuti Atate alemekezedwe mwa Mwana.
Njalo loba yini eliyicelayo ngebizo lami, le ngizayenza, ukuze uYise adunyiswe eNdodaneni.
14 Ngati mudzapempha kanthu kalikonse mʼdzina langa, Ine ndidzachita.
Uba licela loba yini ebizweni lami, mina ngizayenza.
15 “Ngati mundikonda Ine, sungani malamulo anga.
Uba lingithanda, londolozani imilayo yami.
16 Ine ndidzapempha Atate, ndipo adzakupatsani Nkhoswe ina kuti izikhala nanu nthawi zonse. (aiōn g165)
Lami ngizacela kuBaba, laye uzalinika omunye uMduduzi, ukuze ahlale lani laphakade, (aiōn g165)
17 Nkhosweyo ndiye Mzimu wachoonadi. Dziko lapansi silingalandire Nkhosweyi chifukwa samuona kapena kumudziwa. Koma inu mumamudziwa pakuti amakhala nanu ndipo adzakhala mwa inu.
uMoya weqiniso, ongememukele umhlaba, ngoba ungamboni, ungamazi. Kodwa lina liyamazi, ngoba uhlala lani, njalo uzakuba kini.
18 Ine sindikusiyani nokha kuti mukhale ana amasiye. Ine ndidzabweranso kwa inu.
Kangiyikulitshiya lizintandane; ngizakuza kini.
19 Patsala nthawi yochepa dziko lapansi silidzandionanso koma inu mudzandiona. Popeza kuti Ine ndili ndi moyo, inunso mudzakhala ndi moyo.
Kube kanti okwesikhatshana, lomhlaba kawusayikungibona, kodwa lina lizangibona; ngoba mina ngiyaphila, lani lizaphila.
20 Tsiku limenelo inu mudzazindikira kuti Ine ndili mwa Atate, ndipo inu muli mwa Ine, ndipo Ine ndili mwa inu.
Ngalolosuku lina lizakwazi ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, lani likimi, lami ngikini.
21 Iye amene amadziwa malamulo anga ndi kuwasunga ndiye amene amandikonda. Wokonda Ine adzakondedwa ndi Atate wanga ndipo Inenso ndidzamukonda ndikudzionetsa ndekha kwa iye.”
Olemilayo yami ayilondoloze, nguye ongithandayo; njalo yena ongithandayo, uzathandwa nguBaba; lami ngizamthanda, ngizazibonakalisa kuye.
22 Kenaka Yudasi (osati Yudasi Isikarioti) anati, “Koma Ambuye, nʼchifukwa chiyani mukufuna kudzionetsa nokha kwa ife, osati ku dziko lapansi?”
UJudasi, ongesuye uIskariyothi, wathi kuye: Nkosi, kungani uzazibonakalisa kithi, kodwa kungeyisikho kumhlaba?
23 Yesu anamuyankha kuti, “Ngati wina aliyense andikonda Ine, adzasunga mawu anga. Atate wanga adzamukonda, ndipo Ife tidzabwera ndi kukhala naye.
UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Uba umuntu engithanda, uzalondoloza ilizwi lami, loBaba uzamthanda, njalo sizakuza kuye, sihlale laye.
24 Iye amene sandikonda Ine sasunga mawu anga. Mawu awa amene mukumva si anga ndi a Atate amene anandituma Ine.
Yena ongangithandiyo, kawalondolozi amazwi ami; lelizwi elilizwayo kayisilo elami, kodwa ngelikaBaba ongithumileyo.
25 “Ndayankhula zonsezi ndikanali nanu.
Lezizinto ngizikhulumile kini ngihlezi lani.
26 Koma Nkhosweyo, Mzimu Woyera, amene Atate adzamutumiza mʼdzina langa adzakuphunzitsani zinthu zonse, ndipo adzakukumbutsani zonse zimene ndinakuwuzani.
Kodwa uMduduzi, uMoya oyiNgcwele, uBaba azamthuma ebizweni lami, yena uzalifundisa zonke izinto, njalo alikhumbuze konke engakutshoyo kini.
27 Ine ndikukusiyirani mtendere. Ndikukupatsani mtendere wanga. Ine sindikukupatsani monga dziko lapansi limaperekera. Mtima wanu usavutike ndipo musachite mantha.
Ukuthula ngikutshiya kini, ukuthula kwami ngilinika khona; kungeyisikho njengoba umhlaba unika, mina ngiyalinika. Inhliziyo yenu kayingakhathazwa, ingesabi.
28 “Inu munamva Ine ndikunena kuti, ‘Ine ndikupita ndipo ndidzabweranso kwa inu.’ Mukanandikonda, mukanasangalala kuti Ine ndikupita kwa Atate, pakuti Atate ndi wamkulu kuposa Ine.
Lizwile ukuthi mina ngithe kini: Ngiyahamba njalo ngizabuya kini. Uba belingithanda, belizathokoza, ngoba ngithe: Ngiya kuBaba; ngoba uBaba mkhulu kulami.
29 Ine ndakuwuzani tsopano zisanachitike, kuti zikadzachitika mudzakhulupirire.
Njalo khathesi ngilitshelile kungakenzeki; ukuze, lapho sekusenzeka, likholwe.
30 Ine sindiyankhulanso nanu zambiri nthawi yayitali popeza wolamulira dziko lapansi akubwera. Iye alibe mphamvu pa Ine,
Kangisayikukhuluma okunengi lani; ngoba umbusi walumhlaba uyeza, kodwa kalalutho kimi;
31 koma kuti dziko lapansi lizindikire kuti Ine ndimakonda Atate ndi kuti ndimachita zokhazokha zimene Atate wandilamulira Ine. “Nyamukani; tizipita.”
kodwa ukuze umhlaba wazi ukuthi ngiyamthanda uBaba, lokuthi njengoba uBaba engilayile, ngenze njalo. Sukumani, sisuke lapha.
