Yohana 14
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nkapotekwa mmitima jenu. Mwakulupilile Akunnungu ni mungulupilile une ŵakwe.
[Jesus continued by saying to us], “Stop being anxious/worried. Keep on trusting in God (OR, You are trusting in God); also keep trusting in me.
2 Ku nyuumba ja Atati kwana yuumba yejinji, ngaikaŵe yeleyo, ngansalile. Sambano ngwaula kukunkolochesya liuto.
Where my Father is [in heaven] there is plenty of room! If that were not true, I would have told you. I am about to go [there] to prepare a place for you.
3 Najaulaga ni kunkolochesya liuto, chingauje ni kunjigala, kuti pandili une, ni ŵanyamwe mbe pelepo.
And because I will go [there] and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you there to be with me. I will do that so that you may also be where I am.
4 Kungwaula ko nkulimanyilila litala lyakwe.”
You know the road to the place where I am going.”
5 Che Tomasi ŵambusisye, “Ambuje, ngatukumanyilila kunkwaula ko, ana tutukombole chinauli kulimanyilila litala lyakwe?”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. [So] how can we know the road?”
6 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Uneji ndili litala ni usyene ni umi usyene. Ngapagwa mundu jwakwaula kwa Atati pangapitila kwa uneji.
Jesus said to him, “I am the road [MET] [to where my Father is]. I am the [one who reveals] [MET] the truth [about God] and the [one who gives eternal] life [to people]. I am the only one who can [enable people] to come to [my] Father. There is no other way.
7 Iŵaga nkuumanyilila uneji, Atati ŵangu nombe mwamanyi. Chitandile sambano, mwamanyi, ni sooni mwaweni.”
If you [really] knew who I was, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and [it is as though] you have seen him.”
8 Che Filipo ŵansalile, “Ambuje, ntulosye Atati, chelecho ni chitukuchisaka.”
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”
9 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Che Filipo, ndemi ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose ga, ngunnaŵe kuumanyilila? Mundu jwalijose jwamweni une, ŵaweni Atati. Ana kwachichi nkuti, ‘Ntulosye Atati?’
Jesus said to him, “Philip, I have been with you for a long time. So (surely you should know who I [really am]!/why have you not come to know who I [really am]?) [RHQ] Those who have seen me, [it is as though] they have seen [my] Father. So (why do you say ‘Show us [your] Father’?/you should not say ‘Show us [your] Father’!) [RHQ]
10 Ana ngankukulupilila kuti uneji ndili mwa Atati, nombe Atati ali mwa uneji? Gelega maloŵe gingunsalila ga nganguŵecheta kwa ulamusi wangu nansyene, nambo Atati ŵakutama mwangu une akupanganya masengo gao.
Do you not [RHQ] believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father, and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me? The messages that I tell you do not come from me. They come from my Father, who has a close relationship with me. He is enabling me to [teach these things, and] to perform the miracles that he [wants me to perform].
11 Nkusachilwa kukulupilila pinguti, uneji ndili mwa Atati nombe Atati ali mwa uneji. Naga ngaŵa yele, nkulupilile kwa ligongo lya masengo gingugapanganya go.
Believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me. If you do not believe that just because of what I say, believe it because of the miracles themselves [that I have done].
12 Ngunsalila isyene, jwakungulupilila uneji chagapanganye masengo gingugapanganya une. Elo, chagapanganye namose masengo gamakulungwa kupunda agaga, ligongo uneji ngwaula kwa Atati.
Listen to this carefully: [You] who trust in me will do the [kinds of] miracles [that I have done]. [Because of what I will do for you] (OR, [Because I will send God’s Spirit to you]) after I go to my Father, you will be able to do [miracles] that will be greater than [the ones I have done].
13 Ni ŵanyamwe mwaŵendaga chachilichose mu liina lyangu chinampanganyichisye, kuti Atati apate ukulu kwa litala lya Mwana.
And whatever you, using my authority, ask me to do, I will do it, in order that I can show [you] how great [my] Father is.
14 Mwamendaga chachilichose kwa ukombole wa liina lyangu, chinampanganyichisye.
Anything that you ask [my Father to do, anything that you ask] with my [authority] [MTY], I will do.”
15 “Mwanonyelaga uneji, chingajitichisye malajisyo gangu.
“If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
16 Uneji chinaachondelele Atati nombewo chachimpanga Nkamusi jwine, jwelejo chatame ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn g165)
17 Jwelejo ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwakutusalila ngani sya usyene nkati Akunnungu. Ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano ngaakombola kumpochela jwelejo pakuŵa ngakukombola kumbona atamuno kummanyilila. Nambo ŵanyamwe nkummanyilila ligongo akutama ni ŵanyamwe ni sooni ali nkati mwenu.
[I am talking about] the Spirit, who [will teach you God’s] truth. He will be with you forever. Those who are opposed to God [MTY] cannot receive him, because they cannot understand what he [does], and they cannot know who he is. But you know who he is, because he is with you and he will be inside you.
18 “Pachindyoche nginanneka jika mpela ŵandu ŵakulekwa, nambo chinjiika sooni kukwenu.
[When I leave you], I will not let you be alone/helpless [MET]. [When I send the Spirit, it will be like] I am coming back to you (OR, [When I rise from the dead], I will come back to you.)
19 Gasigele moŵa kanandi ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano ngaawona uneji sooni, nambo ŵanyamwe chimuuwone. Pakuŵa uneji ngwete umi, nombe ŵanyamwe chinkole umi.
Soon those who do not belong to God [MTY] will not see me any more. But [when the Spirit comes to you, it will be as though] you will be seeing me again (OR, But [after I become alive again], you will see me again.) Because I will be alive again, you also will have [eternal] life.
20 Lyuŵa lyo pachiliiche chinchimanyilila kuti uneji ndili mwa Atati ŵangu, nombe ŵanyamwe ndi mwangu une, ni uneji ndili mwa ŵanyamwe.
At that time you will know that I have a close relationship with my Father, and you will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with you.
21 Jwapochele malajisyo gangu ni kugatendekanya, jwelejo ni jwakuunonyela une. Nombe jwakuunonyela une chanonyelwe ni Atati ŵangu ni uneji chinjinnonyela ni kulimanyukusya kwa jwelejo.”
Those who have accepted my commands and obey them are the people who love me. My Father will love those who love me. I also will love them, and I will fully reveal to them [what I am like].”
22 Che Yuda, jwanganaŵa Isikaliote, ŵausisye, “Ambuje, ana chiikomboleche chinauli nlimanyisye kukwetu pe ni ngaŵa kwa ŵandu ŵa chilambo chose?”
Then Judas spoke to him. He was not Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), [but instead a disciple whose other name was Thaddeus]. He said, “Lord, what has happened so that you can fully reveal to us what you are like, and not reveal that to those who do not belong to God [MTY]?”
23 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Mundu jwalijose anonyelaga une chagakamulisye majiganyo gangu, ni Atati ŵangu chanonyelwe ni mundu jo, une ni Atati ŵangu chituiche kukuŵika ndamo kukwakwe.
Jesus replied to him, “Those who love me will obey what I have told them. My Father will [also] love them. It is those people whom my Father and I will [be able to] come to and (live with/have a personal relationship with).
24 Mundu jwangakuunonyela une ngakugajitichisya majiganyo gangu. Majiganyo ginkugapilikana go ngaŵa gangu, nambo gakutyochela kwa Atati ŵandumile.
But those who do not love me will not obey what I have told them. [So I cannot reveal to them what I am really like]. These words that I am telling you have not come just from me. They came from [my] Father, the one who sent me.
25 “Ayiyi nansalile ndili chiŵela pamo ni ŵanyamwe,
I have told you all these things while I am still with you.
26 nambo nkamusi jo, jwelejo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu juchalajiswe ni Atati ŵangu kwa liina lyangu, chachinjiganya indu yose ni kunkumbusya yose inansalile.”
But [my] Father will send the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. He will come with my authority [MTY]. He will teach you all of [God’s truth that you need to know]. He will also cause you to remember all the things that I have told you.
27 “Ngunlechelanga chitendewele, chitendewele changu ngumpanga. Ngangumpanga ŵanyamwe mpela ila ŵandu ŵa pachilambo iyakuti pakupanganya. Nkapotekwa mmitima jenu, natamuno nkajogopa.
As I leave you, I am causing you to have [inner] peace. This [inner] peace comes from me. I am not causing you to have something that those who do not belong to God [MTY] can give you. [So] stop being anxious/worried, and do not be afraid.
28 Ana ngati mwapilikene njinsalilaga kuti, ‘Ngwaula, nipele chinjimmujilila.’ Nkaanonyele nkasangalele ligongo ngwaula kwa Atati ŵangu, pakuŵa ŵelewo ali ŵakulungwa kumbunda une.
You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, but [later] I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going back to [my] Father, because [my] Father is greater than I am, [and there he will honor me and will send the Spirit to you].
29 Nansalile gelega sambano gakanaŵe kopochela, kuti pachigakopochele po nkulupilile.
I have told you [these things now] before they happen, so that when they happen you will believe [that what I said is true].
30 Nguuŵecheta sooni maloŵe gamajinji ni ŵanyamwe, pakuŵa Shetani, chilongola jwa chilambo chi akwika. Nambo nganakola machili kukwangu,
I will not [be able to] talk to you much longer, because what happens to me will be as though [Satan], the ruler of this world, is coming [to attack me]. But he has no [control over what happens to] me.
31 nambo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo amanyilile kuti ngwanonyela Atati. Kwa ligongo lyo ngupanganya yailiyose mpela Atati iŵatite pakuulajisya. Njimanje tutyoche pelepa!
Instead, the people who do not belong to God [MTY] must learn [from what happens to me] that I love [my] Father, and I am doing the things that he has commanded me to do. Now, let’s get up and leave here.”
