John 15
1 I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
Ame njame citondo ca vaini, nomba Bata ebalimi.
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.
Nabo bakute kutimbula misampi iliyonse mulinjame itaseme bisepo. Nomba misampi ikutekusema bisepo Bata bakute kwibambilila cena kwambeti ikate bisepo bingi.
3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
Amwe mulapenselwa kayi mulaswepe kendi pacebo ca maswi ngondalamwambila.
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.
Kamwikalililani mulinjame kayi nenjame ninkekalilile muli njamwe. Kuliyawa musampi wabulakwikata kucinyina welakwikata bisepo. Copeleco nenjamwe nkamwela kwikata bisepo nankamulekalilinga muli njame.
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.
Ame njame citondo cancine ncine ca vaini nomba amwe njamwe misampi. Muntu uliyense eshakekalilile mulinjame, nenjame mulyendiye nakekate bisepo bingi. Weco kwakubula njame kuliyawa ncomwela kwinsa.
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.
Namuntu nkalekalanga mulinjame, nakawalwe kunseti misampi yatemwa, ikute kuyuma. Misampi yamushoboyo ikute kubunganishiwa nekuwalwa mumulilo nekutentwa.
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.
Namulekala mulinjame, kayi maswi akame ekala mulinjamwe, ngamunsenga ciliconse ncomwela kuyanda, nimukapewe.
8 In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
Bata bakute kulemekeshewa namulekata bisepo bingi, kayi cikute kulesheti njamwe beshikwiya bakame bancine ncine.
9 As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
Mbuli Bata ncobansuni, nenjame ndimusuni amwe. Mwikalenga mu lusuno lwakame.
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.
Namukonkelenga milawo yakame, nimwikalenga mulusuno lwakame, mbuli ame nconkute kukonkela milawo ya Bata nekwikalilila mulusuno lwabo.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
“Ndamwambili ibi kwambeti kukondwa kwakame kube muli njamwe kayi kwambeti kukondwa kwenu kube kwakwana.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
Mulawo wakame niwakwambeti musunanenga mbuli ncondimusuni.
13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Kuliya muntu ukute lusuno lwapita ulu lwakutaya buyumi bwakendi pacebo cabanendi.
14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
Namulakonkelenga kwiyisha kwakame ekwambeti njamwe mobaname.
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.
Nteshi ndimukuwengeti basebenshi sobwe pakwinga musebenshi nkakute kwinshiba bilenshinga mwami wakendi. Nsombi ndamukungeti baname, pacebo cakwambeti byonse mbyondalanyumfwa kuli Bata ndalamwambila.
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.
Ntamwe mwalansala sobwe, nsombi njame ndalamusala. Kayi ndalamupatula kwambeti mukekate bisepo bitalobo. Neco ciliconse ncoshimukasenge kuli Bata mulina lyakame nibakamupe.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
Neco mulawo wakame niwakwambeti musunanenga.
18 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
“Na cishi capanshi cikamupate, mukanuke kwambeti calatatikila kupata njame.
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.
Nemwekalangeti bantu bamucishi nebalamusuna, nomba pacebo cakwambeti ntamwe bamucishi capanshi sobwe. Nomba bamupela pakwinga ame ndalamusala pakati pabo, weco ntamwe banabo sobwe.
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.
Kamwanukanga maswi asa ngondalamwambileti, ‘Musebenshi nkapiti mwami wakendi.’ Na balampensha, nenjamwe nibakamupenshe. Na balanyumfwa maswi akame, nibakanyumfwe maswi enu.
21 But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him who sent me.
Nsombi nibakamwinshile bintu mbyobalenshila kulinjame, pakwinga nkabamwinshi walantuma.
22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Nendalabula kwisa kubeyisha, nebalabula kuba nemulandu. Nomba lino paliyawa mpobela kukanina mulandu wabo.
23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
Muntu lapatananga nenjame, lapatananga neBata.
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.
Nendalabula kwinsa bintu pakati pabo bitana binshiwapo nemuntu uliyense, cakubinga nebalakabulu kuba nemulandu. Nomba pakwinga balabibona, nsombi bapata ame neBata.
25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.
Nomba byalenshika mushoboyo mbuli ncecalembwa mulibuku lyabo lya milawo kwambeti, ‘Balapatana nenjame kwakubula mulandu.’
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.
“Shikumunyamfwa lakesanga, uyo ni Mushimu weshukayubulule cancine ncine cilambanga shaBata, Ninkamutumine, nendi uyo akesa nakambele bukamboni.
27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
Nenjamwe nimukambele bukamboni, pakwinga mulekala nenjame kufuma kumatatikilo.”
