John 15
1 I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
“Neni ndo mzabibu gwa nakaka, Tati gwangu ndo mkulima.
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.
Yomberi kawusiyaga kila lutambi lwalulera ndiri mabwajubwaju mnumba mwangu na kila lutambi lwalulera nulugulula lupati kulera nentu.
3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
Mwenga muwera kala muherepa toziya ya mafundu ganuwafunditi.
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.
Mwikali mngati mwangu, naneni nulikali mngati mwenu. Lutambi hapeni luleri mabwajubwaju gweka yakuwi, haluleri paluwera mumtera gwa zabibu. Ntambu iraayi hapeni mleri mabwajubwaju mpaka muweri mngati mwangu.”
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.
“Neni namzyabibu, mwenga ndo mitambi. Woseri yawawera mngati mwangu, naneni mngati mwawu, hawaleli mabwajubwaju gavuwa, pamuhera ndiri naneni hapeni mtendi shintu shoseri.
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.
Muntu yoseri pakalikala ndiri mngati mwangu kaswa kunja gambira lutambi lawalwasa kunja mpaka linyali, mitambi yeni ijojinirwa na kwasirwa pamotu, yeni ndo ilunguziwa.
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.
Pamulikala mngati mwaneni na visoweru vyaneni paviwera mngati mwenu, hamluwi shoseri shamfira na hampati.
8 In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
Ukwisa wa Tati gwangu hawuwoneki pamulera mabwajubwaju na kwa njira ayi hamuweri wafundwa waneni.
9 As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
Nukufireni mwenga gambira Tati ntambu yakanfira neni, mulikali muwundama wa neni.
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.
Handa pamjimila malagaliru gangu, hamulikali mu muwundama waneni, gambira neni ntambu yanjimiriti malagaliru ga Tati gwangu na nulikali muwufiru wakuwi.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
“Nukugambirani vitwatira avi su nemeleru yangu iweri mngati mwenu na nemeleru ya mwenga ikamiliki.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
Lilagaliru lyangu ndo ali, mulifiri weni, ntambu yanuwafira mwenga.
13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Mafiliru makulu nentu kwa muntu kuulanguziya kwa waganja wakuwi ndo kuulaviya ukomu wakuwi kwa womberi.
14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
Mwenga ndo waganja waneni handa pamtenda shilii shanuwalagaliriti.
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.
Mwenga hapeni nuwashemi kayi wamanda, toziya wamanda hapeni wavimani vyawatenda watuwa wawu. Kumbiti nuwashema mwenga waganja, toziya nuwagambiriti vitwatira vyoseri vyanpikaniriti kwa Tati gwangu.
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.
Mwenga munsyagula ndiri neni, kumbiti neni ndo yanuwasyaguliti mwenga na kuwatuma mgendi mwakaleri mabwajubwaju nentu, mabwajubwaju yagalikala. Su Tati hakakupanani shoseri shamluwa mu litawu lyangu.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
Su, lilagaliru lyangu kwa mwenga ndo ali, mulifiri weni kwa weni.
18 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
“Handa wantu wa pasipanu pawakukalalirani, mliholi kuwera wankalalira neni kwanja pamberi pa kuwakalalira mwenga.
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.
Handa memuweriti wamu wa wantu wa pasipanu, wantu wa pasipanu wangawafiriti gambira wantu wawu weni. Kumbiti nuwasyagula mwenga kulawa pasipanu, toziya wantu wa pasipanu wawakalalira mwenga.
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.
Muliholi shilii shanuwagambiriti, ‘Wamanda hapeni waweri wakulu kuliku watuwa wawu.’ Handa wantu pawamberiti neni, hawawaberi mwenga viraa, handa wagajimiriti mafundu ganeni, hawagajimili mafundu genu viraa.
21 But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him who sent me.
Kumbiti womberi hawatendi vyoseri avi kwa mwenga toziya mwenga waneni, kwani wamumana ndiri ulii yakantumiti.
22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Handa nganiziti ndiri na kutakula na womberi wangaweriti ndiri na vidoda, kumbiti vinu hapeni wawezi kutakula wahera vidoda.
23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
Yakankalalira neni, kamkalalira Tati gwangu viraa.
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.
Handa nangantenda ndiri kwawomberi vitwatira vyeni kwahera muntu yumonga yakavitenditi kala mwangaweriti ndiri na vidoda, kumbiti vinu waviwoniti vyantenditi wankalalira neni pamuhera na Tati gwangu.
25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.
Ndo toziya galii gagalembitwi mu Malagaliru gawu ganakaka, ‘Wankalalira hera!’
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.
“Mtanga yakiza ndo Rohu, hakagubutuli unakaka kuusu Mlungu, ndo mweni kiza kulawa kwa Tati. Hanumtumi kwa mwenga kulawa kwa Tati na hakatakuli kuusu neni.
27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
Mwenga viraa, hamtakuli kuusu neni, toziya muweriti pamuhera na neni kwanjira kwanja.”
