< John 15 >

1 I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
Unene ni muzabibu nua tai, nu tata nuane ingi mulimi nua mizabibu.
2 Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Kila itambi mukati ane niiza shanga lipaa i nkali wi lihenguila, ni kila itambi ni llipaa inkali wilelyaa iti kina lihume kupa ikilo.
3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
Unyenye yakondaa kutula mielu kunsoko a lukani naza nakondyaa kumutambuila.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.
Mikie mukati ane, nu nene mukati anyu. Anga itambi ni shanga lihumile kupaa ling'wene, anga lihite kutula mu muzabibu, ga ni iti unyenye, anga muhite kikie mukati ane.
5 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
Unene ingi ni muzabibu; unyenye mi ntambi. Nuikiie mukati ane nu nene mu kati akwe, muntu uyu wipezaa nkali idu, kunsoko anga ize shanga nene shanga muhuile kituma ikani lihi.
6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and case him into the fire, and be burneth.
Anga itule muntu wihi shanga ukusaga mukati ane, ukugung'wa anga itambi nukuma; antu ilingiila i ntambi nu kugumila mu moto, nu kulimila.
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.
Anga itule mukikie mukati ane, hangi anga imakani ane ikie mukati anyu, lompi lihi ni muloilwe, nu nyenye mukutendelwa.
8 In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
Mu ili uTata nuane ukuigwe, kina mipezaa nkali idu ni kina ingi mi amanyisigwa ane.
9 As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
Anga uTata nuane nai undoilwe unene, Ga nu nene namulowaa unyenye; ikii mu ulowa nuane.
10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father’s commandments, and do abide in his love.
Anga itule mikaamba i malagiilyo ane, mukikie mu ulowa nuane anga ni mambiie i malagiilyo ang'wa Tata nu ane nu kikie mu ulowa nuakwe.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
Ni maligitilye i makani aya kitalanyu iti kina iloeelya nilane litule mukati anyu ni iti kina iloeelya ni lanyu litulike kutula likondaniie.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
Ili lilo ilagiilyo nilane, kina milowe unyenye ku nyenye anga nai numuloilwe unyenye.
13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Kutili u muntu nukete u ulowa ukulu kukila uwu, kina walupumye u likalo nu lakwe ku nsoko a ahumba uya.
14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
Unyenye mi ahumba iane anga itule mukituma ayo ni neenda mulagiilya.
15 I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.
Shanga kumitanga atugwa, ku nsoko u mutugwa shanga ulingile iko nuitumaa u mukulu nuakwe. Numitangile unyenye ahumba iane. ku nsoko namukumuila i makani ihi naiza nigulye kupuma kung'wa Tata.
16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Shanga ai muniholanilye unene, ila unene ai numuholanilye unyenye nu kumuika mulongole mupe inkali, ni nkali yanyu ilije kikie. Ili likoli iti kina kihi ni mukulompa kung'wa Tata ku lina ni lane, ukuminkiilya.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
Makani aya kumulagiilya, kina milowe kila muntu nu muya.
18 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
Anga ize u unkumbigulu ukumubipilwa, mulinge kina ai umbipiwe unene ze ikili kumubipilwa unyenye.
19 If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Anga aza mutule mia unkumbigulu, u unkumbigulu aza uzee mulowa anga mia kitalao; Kuiti ku nsoko shanga mia unkumbigulu hangi kunsoko ai numuholanilye kupuma mu unkumbigulu, ingi kunsoko ili u unkumbigulu wimubipilwa.
20 Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
Kimbukiilyi ikani naiza numutambuie, 'uMutugwa shanga mukulu kukila umukulu nuakwe, 'Anga itule ai anagilye unene, akumaja nu nyenye ga; Anga izee ai a ambile u lukani nulane, ai azee amba nulu nulanyu ga.
21 But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him who sent me.
Akumutendeela makani aya ihi kunsoko a lina ni lane kunsoko shanga amulingile uyo numulagiiye.
22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Anga aza itule shanga aza nzile nu kuatambuila, shanga ai azeetula itumile u mulandu; kuiti itungili agila u winegi ku milandu ao.
23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
Nuimbipilwaa unene wimubipilwaa nu Tata ga.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Anga itule shanga nitumile u mulimo mukati ao naiza kutili nung'wi nai witumile, ai azeetula agila u mulandu; kuiti itungili itumile ihi abiili ihengile hangi ambipiwe unene nu Tata nuane.
25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.
Ili likupumila iti kunsoko lukani lukondaniile naiza lukilisigwe mi ilagiilyo ni lao; 'Ambipiwe unene bila nsoko.'
26 But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.
Itungo u mupooelya nuazaa, naiza numulagiiye kitalanyu kupuma kung'wa Tata, uyu yuyo, Ng'wau ng'welu nua tai, naiza ukupembelya kung'wa Tata, ukunkuiila. Ga nu nyenye muku nkuiila kunsoko matulaa palung'wi nu nene puma ung'wandyo.
27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
