Yohana 15
1 “Uneji ndili chitela chisyenesyene cha msabibu, ni Atati ŵangu ali jwakulima.
"I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.
2 Lujambi lwaluli lose lwaluli mwangu une lwangalukusogola akulutyosya ni lujambi lwaluli lose lwalukusogola akulupogolela kuti lupunde kusogola.
Every branch in me--if it bears no fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Ŵanyamwe mmasile kuŵa ŵasalele kwa ligongo lya majiganyo gangu ginansalile.
Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I have given 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.
Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue 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 continues in me and in whom I continue bears abundant 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 any one does not continue in me, he is like the unfruitful branch which is at once thrown away and then withers up. Such branches they gather up and throw 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 continue in me and my sayings continue in you, ask what you will and it shall be done for you.
8 Mwasogolaga isogosi yejinji, Atati ŵangu chakuswe ni ŵanyamwe chimme ŵakulijiganya ŵangu.
By this is God glorified--by your bearing abundant fruit and thus being true disciples of mine.
9 Uneji nannonyele ŵanyamwe mpela ila Atati ŵangu iŵanonyele une. Ntameje mu unonyelo wangu.
As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you: continue 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 obey my commands, you will continue in my love, as I have obeyed my Father's commands and continue in His love.
11 “Nansalile yelei yose kuti usangalale wangu utame nkati mwenu, ni usangalale wenu upunde.
"These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy in you, and that your joy may become perfect.
12 Alili lili lilajisyo lyangu: Nnonyelane jwine ni jwine mpela indite pakunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
This is my commandment to you, to love one another as I have loved you.
13 Ngapangwa unonyelo wauli wekulungwa kuupunda unonyelo wa mundu jwakuutyosya umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya achambusanga ŵao.
No one has greater love than this--a man laying down his life for his friends.
14 Ŵanyamwe ndi achambusanga ŵangu mwatendaga chele chingunnajisya.
You are my friends, if you do what 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, because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all that I have heard from the 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.
It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present to the Father in my name He may give you.
17 Nipele, lilajisyo lyangu kukwenu lili ali, nnonyelane jwine ni jwine.
"Thus I command you to love one another.
18 “Iŵaga ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano akunchima ŵanyamwe, mmanyilile kuti akanaŵe kunchima ŵanyamwe, ŵanjimile uneji kaje.
If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me as the fixed object of its hatred.
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 belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world--for that reason 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.
Bear in mind what I said to you, 'A servant is not superior to his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
21 Nambo champanganyichisye ŵanyamwe yeleyo yose pakuŵa ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵangu, ligongo ngakwamanyilila ŵelewo ŵandumile une.
But they will inflict all this suffering upon you on account of your bearing 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 have had no sin; but as the case stands they are without 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, as I have, such miracles as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they have in fact 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 has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled which stands written in their Law, 'They have hated me without any reason.'
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 Advocate is come whom I will send to you from the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father's presence--He will be a witness concerning me.
27 Ni ŵanyamwe nombe chimwasalile ŵandu nkati une pakuŵa ntemi pamo ni une chitandile kundanda.
And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the first.
