Joni 14
1 “Myoyo yenu kitapengi. Musyome muli Leza, musyome amulindime.
Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.
2 Mun'anda yaTaata mwaali makkalilo miingi. Nikutalibbobo tendalikunoomwaambila pe, lino ndiya kukumubambila busena.
In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?
3 Na ndiinka kuyomubambila busena ndiyoboola kuzomutola, kuti ooko nkwebede mukabeko anywebo.
And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.
4 Muliizi inzila yakoko nkwenjobuya.”
And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.
5 Tomasi wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwaami, tatukwizi pe nkoyobuya, tuliiziba biyei nzila?”
Thomas said, Lord, we have no knowledge of where you are going; how may we have knowledge of the way?
6 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndime nzila, bwini, abuumi; tawo pe uuza kuli Taata natiinda mulindime.
Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.
7 Nansyo mulindizi, nimumwizi Taata alakwe. Kuzwa sunu mwamuziba alimwi mwamubona.”
If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.
8 Filipi wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwaami, tutondeezya Taata, aawo kunoli kwazuzikizigwa kulindiswe.”
Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.
9 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndakali aandinywe kwachiindi chilamfu alimwi tamunaa kundiziba, Filipi? Ooyo wandibona wabona Taata. Kujana ulaamba biyeni kuti, “Tutondeezye Taata?'
Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?
10 Tondisyomi na kuti ndili muli Taata alimwi Taata uli muli ndime? Majwi ngindamwaambila nywe nsyaawambi kuzwa munguzu zyangu, pesi Taata upona mulindime ulikuchita mulimu wakwe.
Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.
11 Mundisyome kuti ndili muli Taata, akuti Taata uli mulindime, nikuba kuti usyome akaambo kamilimu lwayo.
Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.
12 Nchobeni, nchobeni, ndamwaambila, ooyo uusyoma mulindime uyoochita milimu njechita, alimwi uyoochita milimu mipati kwiinda eeyi nkaambo ndiya kuli Taata.
Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 Kufumbwa nchimuyookumbila muzina lyangu, ndiyomuchitila kuchitila kuti Taata akabe aabulemu mu Mwana.
And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.
14 Na mwakumbila kufumbwa muzina lyangu, ndiyomuchitila.
If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.
15 Na mwandiyanda muyoobamba milawu yangu,
If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.
16 alimwi ndiyookomba kuli Taata alimwi uyomupa uumbi mugwasyi kuchitila kuti akabe aandinywe kusikila kukabe kutamani - (aiōn g165)
And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever, (aiōn g165)
17 Muuya wakasimpe. Ooyo nyika ngwitakabule kumutambula pe nkaambo timubwene pe na kumuziba. Pesi mulimwizi, alimwi ukkala andinywe alimwi uli mulindinywe.
Even the Spirit of true knowledge. That Spirit the world is not able to take to its heart because it sees him not and has no knowledge of him: but you have knowledge of him, because he is ever with you and will be in you.
18 Nsikoyoomusiya amulike, ndiyooboola kulindinywe.
I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.
19 Biyo kwachiindi chifwifwialimwi nyika tikozondibona lubo me, pesi muzondibona. Akaambo kakuti ndilapona, andinywe munoyopona.
A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.
20 Mubuzuba oobo muyoziba kuti ndili muli Taata, akuti muli mulindime, akuti ndili mulindinywe.
At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.
21 Ooyo uli amilawu yangu akwiibamba nguwe undiyanda, alimwi ooyo undiyanda uyooyandwa aTaata wangu, alimwi ndiyomuyanda akulitondeezya kulinguwe.”
He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.
22 Judas (pe pe Sikkaliyoti) wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwaami, nkaambonzi noyolitondezya kulindiswe notayolitondeezyi kunyika?”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?
23 Jesu wakasandaula alimwi wati kulinguwe, “Na kuli uumwi undiyanda, uyoobamba majwi aangu. Taata ulamuyanda alimwi tuyosika kulinguwe alimwi tuyoyaka muunzi anguwe.
Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.
24 Ooyo utandiyandi mebo takwe nabamba majwi aangu. Ijwi ndimumvwa talizwi kulindime pesi kuli Taata wakandituma.
He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.
25 Ndaamba zintu eezi kulindinywe kuchiindi nkechipona andinywe.
I have said all this to you while I am still with you.
26 Nekubaboobo, Mugwasyi - Muuya Uusalala ooyo Taata ngwayootuma kwiindila muzina lyangu - uyoomuyiisya zyoonse akumuyezya zyoonse nzindakamwaambila nywe.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.
27 Ndamusiila luumuno; ndamupa luumuno lwangu. Tendamupa pe mbuli nyika mbwiipa. Myoyo yanu itapengi, alimwi mutapengi.
May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.
28 Mwakamvwa eezyo nzindakaamba kulindinywe; Ndiyobweenda alimwi nzooboola lubo kulindinywe. 'Na mwalikundiyanda, mwalikubotelwa nkaambo ndiya kuli Taata, nkaambo Taata mupati kwiinda ndime.
Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
29 Lino ndamwaambila kazitanaachitikana kuchitila kut, nizyazochitika, muzosyoma.
And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.
30 Nsikoyoowambula twiingi andinywe, nkaambommweendelezi wanyika eeyi uyobuza. Takwe manguzu pe aatala andime,
After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;
31 pesi mukuti inyika izibe kuti ndilamuyanda Taata, ndilachita mbubo mbuli Taata mbaakandilayilila mebo. Ngatukanyampuke alimwi tukeende kuzwa aano.”
But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.
