John 15
1 I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
A Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa, “Nne nshabhibhu gwa kweli, bhaalima ni Atati.
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.
Lujambi lolowe luli nkati jangu lukaogoye iyepo, lunashelwa nishoywa, na lolowe luogola, lunaunilwa ntonga lukonje lupunde ogola.
3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
Mmanganyanji nkonjilenje kwa ligongo lya ntenga gunimmalanjilenje gula.
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.
Ntamangane nkati jangu, na nne nkati jenunji. Na malinga lujambi pulukaogoya iyepo jikape, lukabhe munshabhibhu, nneyo peyo na mmanganyanji nngakombola kuogoya iyepo nkatamangane nkati jangu.”
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.
“Nne nshabhibhu, mmanganyanji nyambi. Atama nkati jangu, na nne ndamaga nkati jakwe, jwenejo shaogoye iyepo yaigwinji, pabha gwangali nne nkakombolanga tenda shoshowe.
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.
Mundu jojowe akatame nkati jangu, analeshelwa palanga malinga lujambi pululeshelwa palanga ni jumula. Nilokotwa na bhandunji nileshelwa pamoto lutinishe.
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.
Ntamanganaga nkati jangu, na malobhe gangu gatamaga nkati jenunji, bhai, nnjuganje shoshowe shinkupinganga na mmanganya shimpegwanje.
8 In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
Shimmanganje bhaajiganywa bhangu, niogoya iepo yaigwinji na kwa nneyo Atati shibhakuywe.
9 As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
Nne ngunakumpinganga mmanganyanji malinga Atati shibhambinga nne. Ntamangane nkupingana na nne.
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.
Nkamulangaga amuli yangu, shintamangane nkupingana na nne, malinga nne shingamwile amuli ya Atati na tama nkupingana kwabho.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
Njikummalanjilanga genego nkupinga angalala kwangu kutame nilonjeya nkati jenunji, na angalala kwenunji kutimilile.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
Amuli jangu ni ajino, mpingane, malinga shinimpinjilenje nne.
13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Kwakwa kupinga kupundile, kwa mundu kwiishoya gumi gwake kwa ligongo lya ashaambwiga ajakwe.
14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
Mmanganyanji ashaambwiga ajangu ntendangaga gungung'amulishanga.
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.
Nganshemanga kabhili bhatumishi, pabha ntumishi akakushimanya shibhaatenda bhakulungwa bhakwe. Ikabheje mmanganyanji njikunshemanga ashaambwiga, pabha ninng'ibhulilenje gowe gumbilikene kwa Atati.
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.
Nngabha mmanganyanji nng'agwilenje nne, ikabhe nne ning'agwilenje mmanganyanji nikuntumanga nnjendangane nkaogoyanje iepo na iepo yenunji ilonjeye, na bhalabho Atati bhampanganje shoshowe shinkwaajuganga kwa lina lyangu.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
Bhai, amuli jangu jingumpanganga ni ajino, mpingane.”
18 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
A Yeshu gubhashite, “Ibhaga shilambolyo shinshimangaga mmanganyanji, nkumbushilanje kuti, shinjimile nne shikanabhe kunshimanga mmanganyanji.
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.
Ibhaga nkalinginji bhandu bha shilambolyo, shilambolyo shikampinjilenje pabha bhandunji bhakwe. Ikabheje pabha mmanganyanji nngabha bha pa shilambolyo, ikabhe nne njikunng'agulanga kopoka kushilambolyo, kwa lyene ligongolyo shilambolyo shinakunshimanga.
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.
Nkumbushilanje gunimmalanjilenje, ntumwa nngabha jwankulungwa kupunda bhakulungwa bhakwe. Ibhaga bhashimbotekanga nne, shibhampotekanje na mmanganyanji, monaga bhakamulenje lilobhe lyangu, nneila peila shibhakamulanje na lilobhe lyenunji.
21 But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him who sent me.
Ikabheje genego gowe shibhantendelanje kwa ligongo lya lina lyangu, pabha bhakakwamanyanga bhandumile bhala.
22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Monaga ngungaisheje nibheleketa nabhonji, bhakanakolanje yambi, ikabheje nnaino bhakakombolanga kwiembuya kuti bhangalinginji yambi.
23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
Anjima nne, anakwaashima na Atati.
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.
Monaga ngalepele tenda indu ikanabhe tendwa naka mundu juna ngubhakakwetenjeje yambi, ikabheje nnaino bhagabhweninji gundendile, na gubhanjimilenje nne na Atati.
25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.
Ikabheje gatimilile malobhe ga shalia yabhonji, ‘Bhashinjimanga nne gwayoyo!’
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.
“Ikabheje pashaishe nkujangutajo, jushinintume kungwenunji kopoka kwa Atati, Mbumu jwa kweli, jwenejo shangong'ondele nne.
27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
Na mmanganyanji shinngong'ondelanje, pabha nshibhanganga na nne kuumila kundandubho.”
