John 15
1 I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the farmer.
“Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũthabibũ ũrĩa wa ma nake Baba nĩwe mũrĩmĩri.
2 Every branch in me not bearing fruit, he removes it. And every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, so that it may bear more fruit.
Rũhonge o ruothe rũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa rũtaciaraga nĩarũtemaga akarweheria. Naruo rũhonge o ruothe rũrĩa rũciaraga nĩarũceehaga nĩguo rũciare maciaro maingĩ makĩria.
3 Now ye are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
Inyuĩ o na rĩu mũrĩ atheru nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũrĩa ndĩmũheete.
4 Dwell in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it dwells in the grapevine, so neither ye, if ye do not dwell in me.
Ikaragai thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ nĩndĩrĩikaraga thĩinĩ wanyu. Gũtirĩ rũhonge rũngĩciara maciaro rũrĩ rwiki; no nginya rũikare thĩinĩ wa mũthabibũ. O na inyuĩ mũtingĩciara maciaro mũtangĩikara thĩinĩ wakwa.
5 I am the grapevine, ye are the branches. He who dwells in me, and I in him, this man bears much fruit, because without me ye can do nothing.
“Nĩ niĩ mũthabibũ, na inyuĩ mũrĩ honge. Mũndũ angĩikara thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ njikare thĩinĩ wake, nĩarĩciaraga maciaro maingĩ; tondũ mũtarĩ hamwe na niĩ mũtirĩ ũndũ mũngĩhota gwĩka.
6 If any man does not dwell in me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and are burned.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩaga gũikara thĩinĩ wakwa-rĩ, atariĩ o ta rũhonge rũrĩa rũteagwo rũkooma; honge icio nĩkũnganio ciũnganagio, igaikio mwaki-inĩ ikahĩa.
7 If ye dwell in me, and my sayings dwell in you, ye will ask whatever ye may want, and it will be done to you.
Mũngĩikara thĩinĩ wakwa, nacio ciugo ciakwa ciikare thĩinĩ wanyu, hooyai o kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩenda, na nĩmũkũheo kĩo.
8 By this my Father is glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye will become my disciples.
Ũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩgoocithia Baba nĩ atĩ, mũciarage maciaro maingĩ nĩguo mwĩonanie mũrĩ arutwo akwa.
9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Dwell ye in my love.
“O ta ũrĩa Baba anyendete, ũguo noguo na niĩ ndĩmwendete. Rĩu-rĩ, ikaragai o wendo-inĩ wakwa.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye will dwell in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and dwell in his love.
Mũngĩathĩkĩra maathani makwa-rĩ, nĩmũrĩikaraga wendo-inĩ wakwa o ta ũrĩa niĩ njathĩkĩire maathani ma Baba na ngaikara wendo-inĩ wake.
11 These things I have spoken to you that my joy may dwell in you, and your joy may be full.
Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio nĩguo gĩkeno gĩakwa kĩgĩe thĩinĩ wanyu, nakĩo gĩkeno kĩanyu gĩkinyanĩre.
12 This is my commandment, that ye love each other, just as I have loved you.
Rĩathani rĩakwa nĩ rĩĩrĩ: Endanagai inyuĩ ene, o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndĩmwendete.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that some man lay down his life for his friends.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ wendo mũnene kũrĩ ũyũ, atĩ mũndũ no arute muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wa arata ake.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do as many things as I command you.
Inyuĩ mũrĩ arata akwa, mũngĩĩka ũrĩa ndĩmwathĩte.
15 I no longer call you bondmen, because the bondman does not know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I made known to you.
Ndigũcooka kũmwĩta ndungata, tondũ ndungata ndĩmenyaga ũrĩa mũmĩathi areeka; no inyuĩ ndĩmwĩtĩte arata nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩĩrutĩte kuuma kũrĩ Baba nĩndĩmũmenyithĩtie.
16 Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and appointed you, so that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit may remain, so that anything whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, he may give you.
Ti inyuĩ mwathuurire, no nĩ niĩ ndamũthuurire, na ngĩmwamũra mũthiĩ mũgaciare maciaro, namo maciaro macio matũũre. Nake Baba nĩakamũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe mũkahooya thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
17 These things I command you, so that ye may love each other.
Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩathani rĩakwa: Endanagai.
18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.
“Andũ a thĩ mangĩmũthũũra, menyai atĩ nĩ niĩ maambire gũthũũra.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own, but because ye are not of the world (instead I chose you out of the world), because of this the world hates you.
Korwo mũrĩ a gũkũ thĩ, andũ a thĩ no mamwende ta mũrĩ ao. No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtirĩ a gũkũ thĩ, no nĩndĩmũthuurĩte kuuma kũrĩ andũ a thĩ. Nĩkĩo andũ a thĩ mamũthũire.
20 Remember the word that I said to you, A bondman is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
Ririkanai ũhoro ũrĩa ndamwĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Gũtirĩ ndungata nene gũkĩra mũmĩathi.’ Angĩkorwo niĩ nĩmanyariirire, o na inyuĩ nĩmakamũnyarira. Angĩkorwo nĩmathĩkĩire ũrutani wakwa o na wanyu nĩmakawathĩkĩra.
21 But all these things they will do to you because of my name, because they have not known him who sent me.
Nao makaamwĩka ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩgũkorwo matiũĩ ũrĩa wandũmire.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
“Korwo ndiokire ngĩmahe ũhoro, matingĩamenyire nĩ ehia. No rĩu matirĩ na kĩĩgwatio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao.
23 He who hates me hates my Father also.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũũthũũrĩte, nĩathũũire Baba o nake.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would not have had sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Korwo ndiĩkĩte gatagatĩ-inĩ kao maũndũ marĩa matarĩ mekwo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ matingĩamenyire nĩ ehia. No rĩu nĩmonete ciama ici, no no maathũire na magathũũra Baba.
25 But, that the word that is written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause.
No nĩgeetha kũhingio ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wao atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩmathũũrire hatarĩ gĩtũmi.’
26 But when the helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, that will testify about me.
“Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũteithia agooka, ũrĩa ngaamũtũmĩra kuuma kũrĩ Baba, na nĩwe Roho wa ma ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Baba, we nĩakaheana ũira wakwa.
27 And ye also testify, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Na o na inyuĩ no nginya mũkaaruta ũira, tondũ mũtũũrĩte na niĩ kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria.
