< Joni 14 >
1 “Myoyo yenu kitapengi. Musyome muli Leza, musyome amulindime.
Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, and, believe in me.
2 Mun'anda yaTaata mwaali makkalilo miingi. Nikutalibbobo tendalikunoomwaambila pe, lino ndiya kukumubambila busena.
There are many mansions in the house of my Father: and if not, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3 Na ndiinka kuyomubambila busena ndiyoboola kuzomutola, kuti ooko nkwebede mukabeko anywebo.
And if I go to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 Muliizi inzila yakoko nkwenjobuya.”
And whither I go, ye know; and the way ye know.
5 Tomasi wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwaami, tatukwizi pe nkoyobuya, tuliiziba biyei nzila?”
Thomas said to him: Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndime nzila, bwini, abuumi; tawo pe uuza kuli Taata natiinda mulindime.
Jesus said to him: I am the way, and truth, and life: no one cometh unto my Father, but by me.
7 Nansyo mulindizi, nimumwizi Taata alakwe. Kuzwa sunu mwamuziba alimwi mwamubona.”
If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father: and henceforth, ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Filipi wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwaami, tutondeezya Taata, aawo kunoli kwazuzikizigwa kulindiswe.”
Philip said to him: Our Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice for us.
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: Have I been all this time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He that seeth me, seeth the Father: and how sayest thou, Show us 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.
Believest thou not, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? And the words which I speak, I speak not from myself: but my Father, who dwelleth in me, he doeth these works.
11 Mundisyome kuti ndili muli Taata, akuti Taata uli mulindime, nikuba kuti usyome akaambo kamilimu lwayo.
Believe, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me. And if not, believe, at least, on account of the works.
12 Nchobeni, nchobeni, ndamwaambila, ooyo uusyoma mulindime uyoochita milimu njechita, alimwi uyoochita milimu mipati kwiinda eeyi nkaambo ndiya kuli Taata.
Verily, verily, I say to you: He that believeth in me, the works which I do, will he also do. And greater than these will he do, because I go unto my Father.
13 Kufumbwa nchimuyookumbila muzina lyangu, ndiyomuchitila kuchitila kuti Taata akabe aabulemu mu Mwana.
And what ye shall ask in my name, I will do for you; that the Father may be glorified in his Son.
14 Na mwakumbila kufumbwa muzina lyangu, ndiyomuchitila.
And if ye shall ask of me, in my name, I will do it.
15 Na mwandiyanda muyoobamba milawu yangu,
If ye love me, keep my commands.
16 alimwi ndiyookomba kuli Taata alimwi uyomupa uumbi mugwasyi kuchitila kuti akabe aandinywe kusikila kukabe kutamani - (aiōn )
And I will ask of my Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn )
17 Muuya wakasimpe. Ooyo nyika ngwitakabule kumutambula pe nkaambo timubwene pe na kumuziba. Pesi mulimwizi, alimwi ukkala andinywe alimwi uli mulindinywe.
the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, and knoweth him not: but ye know him, because he abideth with you, and is in you.
18 Nsikoyoomusiya amulike, ndiyooboola kulindinywe.
I shall not leave you orphans: for I shall come to you in a little while.
19 Biyo kwachiindi chifwifwialimwi nyika tikozondibona lubo me, pesi muzondibona. Akaambo kakuti ndilapona, andinywe munoyopona.
And the world will not see me; but ye will see me. Because I live, ye will live also.
20 Mubuzuba oobo muyoziba kuti ndili muli Taata, akuti muli mulindime, akuti ndili mulindinywe.
In that day ye will know, that I am in my Father; and that ye 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, with whom are my commands, and who keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, will be loved by my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas (pe pe Sikkaliyoti) wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwaami, nkaambonzi noyolitondezya kulindiswe notayolitondeezyi kunyika?”
Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: My Lord, how is it that thou art to manifest thyself to us, and not to 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 answered, and said to him: He that loveth me, observeth my instruction; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.
24 Ooyo utandiyandi mebo takwe nabamba majwi aangu. Ijwi ndimumvwa talizwi kulindime pesi kuli Taata wakandituma.
But he that loveth me not, observeth not my instruction. And the instruction which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 Ndaamba zintu eezi kulindinywe kuchiindi nkechipona andinywe.
These things have I said to you, while I was with you.
26 Nekubaboobo, Mugwasyi - Muuya Uusalala ooyo Taata ngwayootuma kwiindila muzina lyangu - uyoomuyiisya zyoonse akumuyezya zyoonse nzindakamwaambila nywe.
But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you every thing, and will remind you of all that I say to you.
27 Ndamusiila luumuno; ndamupa luumuno lwangu. Tendamupa pe mbuli nyika mbwiipa. Myoyo yanu itapengi, alimwi mutapengi.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. It is not as the world giveth, that I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid.
28 Mwakamvwa eezyo nzindakaamba kulindinywe; Ndiyobweenda alimwi nzooboola lubo kulindinywe. 'Na mwalikundiyanda, mwalikubotelwa nkaambo ndiya kuli Taata, nkaambo Taata mupati kwiinda ndime.
Ye have heard what I said to you that I go away, and come again to you. If ye had loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I
29 Lino ndamwaambila kazitanaachitikana kuchitila kut, nizyazochitika, muzosyoma.
And now, lo, I have told you, before it occurreth; so that when it shall have occurred, ye may believe.
30 Nsikoyoowambula twiingi andinywe, nkaambommweendelezi wanyika eeyi uyobuza. Takwe manguzu pe aatala andime,
Hereafter I shall not converse much with you; for the ruler of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 pesi mukuti inyika izibe kuti ndilamuyanda Taata, ndilachita mbubo mbuli Taata mbaakandilayilila mebo. Ngatukanyampuke alimwi tukeende kuzwa aano.”
But that the world may know, that I love my Father, and as my Father commanded me, so I do. Arise; let us go hence.
