John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Ini ndiri muzambiringa wechokwadi, uye Baba vangu murimi.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Davi rimwe nerimwe riri mandiri risingabereki chibereko, vanoribvisa; uye rimwe nerimwe rinobereka chibereko, vanorichekerera, kuti riwedzere kubereka chibereko.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Imwi matochena neshoko randataura kwamuri.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Garai mandiri, neni mamuri. Sedavi risingagoni kubereka chibereko pacharo, kana risingagari mumuzambiringa, saizvozvo nemwi kwete, kana musingagari mandiri.
5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Ini ndiri muzambiringa, imwi matavi. Anogara mandiri, neni maari, ndiye anobereka chibereko chakawanda; nokuti kunze kwangu hamugoni kuita chinhu.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.
Kana munhu asingagari mandiri, anoraswa kunze sedavi, ndokusvava, vanoaunganidza, ndokukandira mumoto, apiswe.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Kana muchigara mandiri, nemashoko angu achigara mamuri, muchakumbira chero zvamunoda, uye muchazviitirwa.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Baba vangu vanokudzwa neizvi, kuti mubereke chibereko chakawanda; uye muchava vadzidzi vangu.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
Baba sezvavakandida, iniwo ndakakudai; garai murudo rwangu.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
Kana muchichengeta mirairo yangu, muchagara murudo rwangu, seni ndakachengeta mirairo yaBaba vangu, ndinogara murudo rwavo.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
Zvinhu izvi ndazvitaura kwamuri, kuti mufaro wangu ugare mamuri, uye mufaro wenyu uzare.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Uyu ndiwo murairo wangu, kuti mudanane, sezvandakakudai.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Hakuna ane rudo rukuru kune urwu, kuti munhu anoradzikira pasi shamwari dzake upenyu hwake.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Imwi muri shamwari dzangu, kana muchiita chipi nechipi ini chandinokurairai.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Handichakuidziizve varanda, nokuti muranda haazivi ishe wake chaanoita; asi ndakuidzai shamwari; nokuti zvese zvandakanzwa naBaba vangu, ndakakuzivisai.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Imwi hamuna kundisarudza, asi ini ndakakusarudzai, ndikakugadzai, kuti imwi muende mubereke chibereko, uye chibereko chenyu chigare; kuti chipi nechipi chamunokumbira kuna Baba muzita rangu, vakupei.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Izvi zvinhu ndinokurairai, kuti mudanane.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.
Kana nyika ichikuvengai, muzive kuti yavenga ini isati yakuvengai imwi.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Dai maiva venyika, nyika yaida zvayo pachayo; asi nokuti hamusi venyika, asi ini ndakakusarudzai kubva panyika, naizvozvo nyika inokuvengai.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
Rangarirai shoko ini randakareva kwamuri: Muranda haasi mukuru kuna ishe wake. Kana vakashusha ini, vachashusha imwiwo; kana vakachengeta shoko rangu vachachengeta renyuwo.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
Asi izvi zvese vachakuitirai nekuda kwezita rangu, nokuti havamuzivi wakandituma.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
Dai ndisina kuuya ndikataura kwavari, vangadai vasina chivi; asi ikozvino havana manzvengero pachivi chavo.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Anondivenga, anovenga Baba vanguwo.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Dai ndisina kuita pakati pavo mabasa asina umwe wakaaita, vangadai vasina chivi; asi ikozvino vakaona ndokuvenga zvese ini naBaba vangu.
25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
Asi kuti shoko rizadziswe rakanyorwa pamurairo wavo, rinoti: Vakandivenga pasina chikonzero.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Asi kana Munyaradzi auya, ini wandichatumira kwamuri kubva kuna Baba, Mweya wechokwadi, unobuda kuna Baba, uyu achapupura nezvangu.
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Nemwiwo muchapupura, nokuti maiva neni kubva pakutanga.
