John 14
1 "Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
Yesu akawaambia, “Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, mnamwamini Mungu, niaminini na mimi pia.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions. If it weren't so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
Nyumbani kwa Baba yangu kuna makao mengi. Kama sivyo, ningeliwaambia. Naenda kuwaandalia makao.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
Nami nikienda na kuwaandalia makao, nitarudi tena na kuwachukua mkae pamoja nami, ili mahali nilipo, nanyi mpate kuwepo.
4 And you know the way where I am going."
Ninyi mnajua njia ya kufika ninakokwenda.”
5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"
Tomaso akamwambia, “Bwana, sisi hatujui unakokwenda, tutaijuaje njia?”
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndimi njia na kweli na uzima. Mtu hawezi kuja kwa Baba isipokuwa kwa kupitia kwangu.
7 If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
Kama mngenijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba pia. Tangu sasa, mnamjua Baba yangu, tena mmemwona.”
8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."
Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba yako yatosha.”
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, and still you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father?'
Yesu akamjibu, “Filipo, nimekaa nanyi muda huu wote hata usinijue? Mtu yeyote aliyeniona mimi, amemwona Baba. Sasa wawezaje kusema, ‘Tuonyeshe Baba’?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
Je, huamini ya kuwa mimi niko ndani ya Baba, naye Baba yuko ndani yangu? Maneno ninayowaambia siyasemi kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe, bali Baba akaaye ndani yangu ndiye atendaye hizi kazi.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me; or else believe because of the works themselves.
Nisadiki mimi kwamba niko ndani ya Baba na Baba yuko ndani yangu, la sivyo, niaminini kwa sababu ya zile kazi nizitendazo.
12 Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.
Amin, amin nawaambia, yeyote aniaminiye mimi, kazi nizifanyazo yeye atazifanya, naam na kubwa kuliko hizi atazifanya, kwa sababu mimi ninakwenda kwa Baba.
13 And whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Nanyi mkiomba lolote kwa Jina langu, hilo nitalifanya, ili Baba apate kutukuzwa katika Mwana.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
Kama mkiniomba lolote kwa Jina langu nitalifanya.
15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
“Kama mnanipenda, mtazishika amri zangu.
16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Helper, that he may be with you forever, — (aiōn g165)
Nami nitamwomba Baba, naye atawapa Msaidizi mwingine akae nanyi milele. (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive; because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.
Huyo ndiye Roho wa kweli ambaye ulimwengu hauwezi kumpokea, kwa sababu haumwoni wala haumjui. Ninyi mnamjua kwa kuwa yuko pamoja nanyi naye anakaa ndani yenu.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
Sitawaacha ninyi yatima, naja kwenu.
19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
Bado kitambo kidogo ulimwengu hautaniona tena, ila ninyi mtaniona, kwa kuwa mimi ni hai, ninyi nanyi mtakuwa hai.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
Wakati huo mtajua ya kuwa mimi niko ndani ya Baba na ninyi mko ndani yangu na mimi niko ndani yenu.
21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
Yeyote mwenye amri zangu na kuzishika ndiye anipendaye, naye anipendaye atapendwa na Baba yangu, nami nitampenda na kujidhihirisha kwake.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
Ndipo Yuda, siyo Iskariote, akamwambia, “Bwana, itakuwaje kwamba utajidhihirisha kwetu na si kwa ulimwengu?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling place with him.
Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu yeyote akinipenda atalishika neno langu na Baba yangu atampenda, nasi tutakuja kwake na kufanya makao yetu kwake.
24 He who does not love me does not keep my words. The word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
Mtu yeyote asiyenipenda hayashiki maneno yangu na maneno niliyowapa si yangu bali ni ya Baba aliyenituma.
25 All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
“Nimewaambia mambo haya yote wakati bado niko pamoja nanyi.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
Lakini huyo Msaidizi, yaani, huyo Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwenu kwa Jina langu, atawafundisha mambo yote na kuwakumbusha yote niliyowaambia.
27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Amani nawaachia, amani yangu nawapa, amani hii niwapayo si kama ile ulimwengu utoayo. Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, wala msiogope.
28 You heard how I told you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.
“Mlinisikia nikisema, ‘Ninakwenda zangu, lakini nitarudi tena.’ Kama kweli mngelinipenda mngelifurahi kwa kuwa naenda kwa Baba, kwani Baba ni mkuu kuniliko mimi.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.
Nimewaambia mambo haya kabla hayajatukia, ili yatakapotukia mpate kuamini.
30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has no hold on me.
Sitasema nanyi zaidi, kwa sababu yule mkuu wa ulimwengu huu anakuja, naye hana kitu kwangu,
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
lakini ulimwengu upate kujua kuwa ninampenda Baba, nami hufanya vile Baba alivyoniamuru. “Haya inukeni; twendeni zetu.
