< John 14 >

1 "Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
“Omutima gwammwe tegweraliikiriranga. Mukkiriza Katonda, era nange munzikirize.
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.
Mu nnyumba ya Kitange mulimu ebisenge bingi, era ŋŋenda okubateekerateekera ekifo. Singa tekiri bwe kityo nandibagambye.
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.
Bwe ndimala okubateekerateekera ekifo ndikomawo, ne mbatwala gye ndi, Nze gye ndi nammwe gye muba mubeera.
4 And you know the way where I am going."
Era gye ŋŋenda ekkubo mulimanyi.”
5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"
Tomasi n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tetumanyi gy’olaga, kale tuyinza tutya okumanya ekkubo?”
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Nze kkubo, n’amazima n’obulamu. Tewali n’omu ajja eri Kitange wabula ng’ayita mu Nze.
7 If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
Singa muntegedde ne Kitange mwandimutegedde. Era okuva kaakano mumulabye era mumutegedde.”
8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."
Firipo n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tulage Kitaffe, kinaatumala.”
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 n’amugamba nti, “Firipo, kasookedde mbeera nammwe ebbanga lino lyonna era tontegeeranga? Buli alaba Nze aba alabye Kitange! Kale lwaki ate oyogera nti, ‘Tulage Kitaffe?’
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.
Tokkiriza nga Nze ndi mu Kitange era ne Kitange ali mu Nze? Ebigambo bye mbategeeza si byange ku bwange, wabula biva eri Kitange abeera mu Nze, era akola emirimu ng’ayita mu Nze.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me; or else believe because of the works themselves.
Kale munzikirize nti ndi mu Kitange era nga ne Kitange ali mu Nze. Oba si ekyo munzikirize olw’emirimu gyokka.
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.
“Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli anzikiriza alikola emirimu egyo gye nkola, era alikola egisinga egyo, kubanga Nze ŋŋenda eri Kitange.
13 And whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Era buli kye munaasabanga mu linnya Lyange nnaakibakoleranga, Kitange alyoke agulumizibwe mu Mwana.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
Bwe munaasabanga ekintu kyonna mu linnya lyange nnaakikolanga.”
15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
“Kale obanga munjagala mugonderenga ebiragiro byange,
16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Helper, that he may be with you forever, — (aiōn g165)
nange ndisaba Kitange n’abawa Omubeezi omulala anaabeeranga nammwe emirembe n’emirembe, (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.
Mwoyo ow’Amazima ensi gwe teyinza kufuna, kubanga temulaba era temumanyi. Naye mmwe mumumanyi kubanga abeera nammwe, era anaabeeranga mu mmwe.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
Siribaleka nga bamulekwa, ndikomawo gye muli.
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.
Mu bbanga ttono, ensi eneeba tekyandaba, naye mmwe nga mundaba. Kubanga Nze ndi mulamu, era nammwe muliba balamu.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
Ku lunaku olwo mulitegeera nga Nze ndi mu Kitange, era nga muli mu Nze, nga nange ndi mu mmwe.
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."
Buli anjagala anaagonderanga ebiragiro byange; era kubanga anjagala, ne Kitange anaamwagalanga. Era nange nnaamwagalanga, era nnaamulabikiranga.”
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?"
Yuda, atali Isukalyoti n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, lwaki oyagala okweraga eri ffe so si eri ensi?”
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 n’amuddamu nti, “Omuntu yenna anjagala anaagonderanga ekigambo kyange, ne Kitange anaamwagalanga, era Nze ne Kitange tunajjanga ne tubeera mu ye era tunaatuulanga mu ye.
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.
Oyo atanjagala tagondera bigambo byange. Ate ebigambo bye njogera si byange ku bwange wabula bya Kitange eyantuma.
25 All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
Ebyo mbibabuulidde nga nkyali nammwe.
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.
Naye Omubeezi, Mwoyo Mutukuvu, Kitange gw’alituma mu linnya lyange, bw’alijja alibayigiriza ebintu byonna era alibajjukiza byonna bye nabagamba.
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.
Mbalekera emirembe, era mbawa emirembe gyange. Emirembe gye mbawa tegiringa egy’ensi. Noolwekyo temutyanga era temweraliikiriranga.
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.
“Mujjukire kye n’abagamba nti ŋŋenda era ndikomawo gye muli. Singa ddala mubadde munjagala mwandisanyuse kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange, kubanga Kitange y’ansinga ekitiibwa.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.
Kaakano mbabuulidde ebintu bino nga tebinnabaawo, bwe birituukirira mulyoke munzikirize.
30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has no hold on me.
Sikyayogera bintu bingi nammwe, kubanga omufuzi omubi ow’ensi eno ajja. Naye Nze tanninaako buyinza.
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.
Kyokka ensi eryoke emanye nti njagala Kitange, nzija kukola Kitange ky’andagidde. “Musituke tuve wano.”
