Yohana 15
1 “Uneji ndili chitela chisyenesyene cha msabibu, ni Atati ŵangu ali jwakulima.
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 Lujambi lwaluli lose lwaluli mwangu une lwangalukusogola akulutyosya ni lujambi lwaluli lose lwalukusogola akulupogolela kuti lupunde kusogola.
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Ŵanyamwe mmasile kuŵa ŵasalele kwa ligongo lya majiganyo gangu ginansalile.
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 Ntame nkati mwangu, ni uneji chindame nkati mwenu. Mpela ila lujambi ngalukombola kusogola isogosi iŵaga nganilusigala pa msabibu usyene, iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe iŵaga ngankutama munkati mwangu chinnepele kusogola isogosi.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
5 “Uneji ndili mpela chitela cha msabibu ni ŵanyamwe ndi nyambi. Jwakutama mwa uneji, ni uneji mwa jwelejo, jwelejo chasogole isogosi yejinji, pakuŵa ŵanyamwe jikape ngankukombola kupanganya chachili chose.
I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Mundu jwalijose iŵaga ngakutama mwa uneji akulandana ni lujambi lwalujasikwe kwakutalichila ni kuumula. Syele nyambi sikukumbikwa ni kutinisya pa mooto ni kutinika.
If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 Mwatamaga mwa uneji ni maloŵe gangu gatamaga nkati mwenu, mmende chachili chose chinkuchisaka ni ŵanyamwe chimpegwe.
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
8 Mwasogolaga isogosi yejinji, Atati ŵangu chakuswe ni ŵanyamwe chimme ŵakulijiganya ŵangu.
"In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
9 Uneji nannonyele ŵanyamwe mpela ila Atati ŵangu iŵanonyele une. Ntameje mu unonyelo wangu.
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
10 Mwagakamulichisyaga malajisyo gangu chintame mu unonyelo wangu, mpela ila indite pakugakamulichisya malajisyo ga Atati ŵangu ni kutama mu unonyelo wao.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.
11 “Nansalile yelei yose kuti usangalale wangu utame nkati mwenu, ni usangalale wenu upunde.
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 Alili lili lilajisyo lyangu: Nnonyelane jwine ni jwine mpela indite pakunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 Ngapangwa unonyelo wauli wekulungwa kuupunda unonyelo wa mundu jwakuutyosya umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya achambusanga ŵao.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
14 Ŵanyamwe ndi achambusanga ŵangu mwatendaga chele chingunnajisya.
You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
15 Uneji ngangummilanga sooni ŵakutumichila, pakuŵa jwakutumichila ngakuchimanyilila chakupanganya mmbujegwe. Nambo uneji nammilasile ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, pakuŵa nammanyisye yose inaipilikene kutyochela kwa Atati ŵangu.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
16 Ŵanyamwe nganimuusagula uneji, nambo uneji nansagwile ŵanyamwe ni kuntuma njaule nkasogole isogosi yejinji yaani ipanganyo yambone, ichitame moŵa gose, nipele chachili chose chachimwaŵende Atati ŵangu kwa liina lyangu chimpegwe.
You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17 Nipele, lilajisyo lyangu kukwenu lili ali, nnonyelane jwine ni jwine.
"I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
18 “Iŵaga ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano akunchima ŵanyamwe, mmanyilile kuti akanaŵe kunchima ŵanyamwe, ŵanjimile uneji kaje.
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19 Nkaliji ŵandu ŵa pachilambo, ŵandu akunnonyela ŵanyamwe mpela achinjao. Ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵa pachilambo, nambo une nansagwile ŵanyamwe pasikati ja ŵandu ŵa pachilambo. Kwa ligongo lyo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo akunchima ŵanyamwe.
If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Nkumbuchile inansalile yo kuti, ‘Jwakutumichila nganaŵa jwankulungwa kumpunda mmbujegwe.’ Iŵaga ŵalagesye uneji, ni ŵanyamwe nombe chanlagasye, agakamulichisyaga majiganyo gangu, ni majiganyo genu chagakamulisye.
Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 Nambo champanganyichisye ŵanyamwe yeleyo yose pakuŵa ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵangu, ligongo ngakwamanyilila ŵelewo ŵandumile une.
But all these things will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
22 Ngungaiche ni kuŵecheta nawo, ngakaŵe ni sambi, nambo sambano ngakukombola kulichenjela kuti nganakola sambi.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Jwakunjima une, akwachima Atati ŵangu nombe.
He who hates me hates my Father also.
24 Ngangapanganye kukwao masengo ganganagapanganye jwine, ngaakakole sambi, nambo sambano aiweni yakusimonjeka indesile, ali chiŵela kutuchima une ni Atati ŵangu.
If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 Nambo itendekwe yele kuti gamalile maloŵe gagalembekwe Mmalajisyo gao gagakuti, ‘Ŵanjimile pangali ligongo.’
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
26 “Chinantume nkamusi kutyochela kwa Atati ŵangu, jwele ali Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, juchasale usyene nkati Akunnungu. Chinantume kukwenu kutyochela kwa Atati kuti ansalile usyene nkati uneji.
"When the Helper has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27 Ni ŵanyamwe nombe chimwasalile ŵandu nkati une pakuŵa ntemi pamo ni une chitandile kundanda.
And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
