John 14
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe also in Me;
Inhliziyo yenu kayingakhathazeki; liyakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kholwani lakimi.
2 in the house of My Father are many rooms; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;
Ekhaya likaBaba kukhona izindlu ezinengi; kodwa uba kwakungenjalo, ngabe ngalitshela. Ngiyahamba ukuyalilungisela indawo.
3 and if I go on and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you to Myself, that where I am you also may be;
Njalo nxa ngihamba ngisiyalilungisela indawo, ngizabuya futhi ngilemukele kimi; ukuze kuthi lapho mina engikhona, libe khona lani.
4 and to where I go away you have known, and the way you have known.”
Lalapho mina engiya khona liyakwazi, lendlela liyayazi.
5 Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we have not known to where You go away, and how are we able to know the way?”
UTomasi wathi kuye: Nkosi, kasikwazi lapho oya khona; pho, singayazi njani indlela?
6 Jesus says to him, “I AM the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, if not through Me;
UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyindlela, leqiniso, lempilo; kakho oza kuBaba, kodwa ngami.
7 if you had known Me, you would also have known My Father, and from this time you have known Him, and have seen Him.”
Uba belingazile, belizamazi loBaba; njalo kusukela khathesi liyamazi, selimbonile.
8 Philip says to Him, “Lord, show to us the Father, and it is enough for us”;
UFiliphu wathi kuye: Nkosi, sitshengise uYihlo, njalo kusanele.
9 Jesus says to him, “Such [a] long time am I with you, and you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; and how do you say, Show to us the Father?
UJesu wathi kuye: Sengilani isikhathi eside kangaka, kawukangazi, Filiphu? Yena obone mina, ubone uBaba; njalo utsho njani ukuthi: Sitshengise uYihlo?
10 Do you not believe that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The sayings that I speak to you, I do not speak from Myself, and the Father who is abiding in Me does the works Himself;
Kawukholwa yini ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, loBaba ukimi? Amazwi mina engiwakhuluma kini, kangizikhulumeli ngokwami; kodwa uBaba ohlezi kimi, yena wenza imisebenzi.
11 believe Me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in Me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe Me.
Ngikholwani ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, loBaba ukimi; njalo uba kungenjalo, ngikholwani ngenxa yemisebenzi ngokwayo.
12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is believing in Me, the works that I do—that one will also do, and greater than these he will do, because I go on to My Father;
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Okholwa kimi, imisebenzi engiyenzayo uzayenza laye, lemikhulu kulale uzayenza; ngoba mina ngiya kuBaba.
13 and whatever you may ask in My Name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;
Njalo loba yini eliyicelayo ngebizo lami, le ngizayenza, ukuze uYise adunyiswe eNdodaneni.
14 if you ask anything in My Name I will do [it].
Uba licela loba yini ebizweni lami, mina ngizayenza.
15 If you love Me, keep My commands,
Uba lingithanda, londolozani imilayo yami.
16 and I will ask the Father, and He will give to you another Comforter, that He may remain with you throughout the age: (aiōn g165)
Lami ngizacela kuBaba, laye uzalinika omunye uMduduzi, ukuze ahlale lani laphakade, (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see nor know [this] One, and you know [this] One, because [this] One remains with you, and will be in you.
uMoya weqiniso, ongememukele umhlaba, ngoba ungamboni, ungamazi. Kodwa lina liyamazi, ngoba uhlala lani, njalo uzakuba kini.
18 I will not leave you bereaved, I come to you;
Kangiyikulitshiya lizintandane; ngizakuza kini.
19 yet a little [while] and the world beholds Me no more, and you behold Me, because I live, and you will live;
Kube kanti okwesikhatshana, lomhlaba kawusayikungibona, kodwa lina lizangibona; ngoba mina ngiyaphila, lani lizaphila.
20 in that day you will know that I [am] in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you;
Ngalolosuku lina lizakwazi ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, lani likimi, lami ngikini.
21 he who is having My commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving Me, and he who is loving Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.”
Olemilayo yami ayilondoloze, nguye ongithandayo; njalo yena ongithandayo, uzathandwa nguBaba; lami ngizamthanda, ngizazibonakalisa kuye.
22 Judas says to Him (not the Iscariot), “Lord, what has come to pass, that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
UJudasi, ongesuye uIskariyothi, wathi kuye: Nkosi, kungani uzazibonakalisa kithi, kodwa kungeyisikho kumhlaba?
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone may love Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and We will make [an] abode with him;
UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Uba umuntu engithanda, uzalondoloza ilizwi lami, loBaba uzamthanda, njalo sizakuza kuye, sihlale laye.
24 he who is not loving Me does not keep My words; and the word that you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
Yena ongangithandiyo, kawalondolozi amazwi ami; lelizwi elilizwayo kayisilo elami, kodwa ngelikaBaba ongithumileyo.
25 These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
Lezizinto ngizikhulumile kini ngihlezi lani.
26 and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.
Kodwa uMduduzi, uMoya oyiNgcwele, uBaba azamthuma ebizweni lami, yena uzalifundisa zonke izinto, njalo alikhumbuze konke engakutshoyo kini.
27 Peace I leave to you; My peace I give to you. Not according as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
Ukuthula ngikutshiya kini, ukuthula kwami ngilinika khona; kungeyisikho njengoba umhlaba unika, mina ngiyalinika. Inhliziyo yenu kayingakhathazwa, ingesabi.
28 You heard that I said to you, I go away, and I come to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I said, I go on to the Father, because My Father is greater than I.
Lizwile ukuthi mina ngithe kini: Ngiyahamba njalo ngizabuya kini. Uba belingithanda, belizathokoza, ngoba ngithe: Ngiya kuBaba; ngoba uBaba mkhulu kulami.
29 And now I have said [it] to you before it comes to pass, that when it may come to pass, you may believe.
Njalo khathesi ngilitshelile kungakenzeki; ukuze, lapho sekusenzeka, likholwe.
30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world comes, and he has nothing in Me;
Kangisayikukhuluma okunengi lani; ngoba umbusi walumhlaba uyeza, kodwa kalalutho kimi;
31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave Me command, so I do; arise, we may go from here.”
kodwa ukuze umhlaba wazi ukuthi ngiyamthanda uBaba, lokuthi njengoba uBaba engilayile, ngenze njalo. Sukumani, sisuke lapha.
