John 15
1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
“Neni ndo mzabibu gwa nakaka, Tati gwangu ndo mkulima.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Yomberi kawusiyaga kila lutambi lwalulera ndiri mabwajubwaju mnumba mwangu na kila lutambi lwalulera nulugulula lupati kulera nentu.
3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Mwenga muwera kala muherepa toziya ya mafundu ganuwafunditi.
4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
Mwikali mngati mwangu, naneni nulikali mngati mwenu. Lutambi hapeni luleri mabwajubwaju gweka yakuwi, haluleri paluwera mumtera gwa zabibu. Ntambu iraayi hapeni mleri mabwajubwaju mpaka muweri mngati mwangu.”
5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
“Neni namzyabibu, mwenga ndo mitambi. Woseri yawawera mngati mwangu, naneni mngati mwawu, hawaleli mabwajubwaju gavuwa, pamuhera ndiri naneni hapeni mtendi shintu shoseri.
6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
Muntu yoseri pakalikala ndiri mngati mwangu kaswa kunja gambira lutambi lawalwasa kunja mpaka linyali, mitambi yeni ijojinirwa na kwasirwa pamotu, yeni ndo ilunguziwa.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
Pamulikala mngati mwaneni na visoweru vyaneni paviwera mngati mwenu, hamluwi shoseri shamfira na hampati.
8 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
Ukwisa wa Tati gwangu hawuwoneki pamulera mabwajubwaju na kwa njira ayi hamuweri wafundwa waneni.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Nukufireni mwenga gambira Tati ntambu yakanfira neni, mulikali muwundama wa neni.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.
Handa pamjimila malagaliru gangu, hamulikali mu muwundama waneni, gambira neni ntambu yanjimiriti malagaliru ga Tati gwangu na nulikali muwufiru wakuwi.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
“Nukugambirani vitwatira avi su nemeleru yangu iweri mngati mwenu na nemeleru ya mwenga ikamiliki.
12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
Lilagaliru lyangu ndo ali, mulifiri weni, ntambu yanuwafira mwenga.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
Mafiliru makulu nentu kwa muntu kuulanguziya kwa waganja wakuwi ndo kuulaviya ukomu wakuwi kwa womberi.
14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
Mwenga ndo waganja waneni handa pamtenda shilii shanuwalagaliriti.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
Mwenga hapeni nuwashemi kayi wamanda, toziya wamanda hapeni wavimani vyawatenda watuwa wawu. Kumbiti nuwashema mwenga waganja, toziya nuwagambiriti vitwatira vyoseri vyanpikaniriti kwa Tati gwangu.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Mwenga munsyagula ndiri neni, kumbiti neni ndo yanuwasyaguliti mwenga na kuwatuma mgendi mwakaleri mabwajubwaju nentu, mabwajubwaju yagalikala. Su Tati hakakupanani shoseri shamluwa mu litawu lyangu.
17 "I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
Su, lilagaliru lyangu kwa mwenga ndo ali, mulifiri weni kwa weni.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
“Handa wantu wa pasipanu pawakukalalirani, mliholi kuwera wankalalira neni kwanja pamberi pa kuwakalalira mwenga.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Handa memuweriti wamu wa wantu wa pasipanu, wantu wa pasipanu wangawafiriti gambira wantu wawu weni. Kumbiti nuwasyagula mwenga kulawa pasipanu, toziya wantu wa pasipanu wawakalalira mwenga.
20 Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
Muliholi shilii shanuwagambiriti, ‘Wamanda hapeni waweri wakulu kuliku watuwa wawu.’ Handa wantu pawamberiti neni, hawawaberi mwenga viraa, handa wagajimiriti mafundu ganeni, hawagajimili mafundu genu viraa.
21 But all these things will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
Kumbiti womberi hawatendi vyoseri avi kwa mwenga toziya mwenga waneni, kwani wamumana ndiri ulii yakantumiti.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Handa nganiziti ndiri na kutakula na womberi wangaweriti ndiri na vidoda, kumbiti vinu hapeni wawezi kutakula wahera vidoda.
23 He who hates me hates my Father also.
Yakankalalira neni, kamkalalira Tati gwangu viraa.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.
Handa nangantenda ndiri kwawomberi vitwatira vyeni kwahera muntu yumonga yakavitenditi kala mwangaweriti ndiri na vidoda, kumbiti vinu waviwoniti vyantenditi wankalalira neni pamuhera na Tati gwangu.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
Ndo toziya galii gagalembitwi mu Malagaliru gawu ganakaka, ‘Wankalalira hera!’
26 "When the Helper has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
“Mtanga yakiza ndo Rohu, hakagubutuli unakaka kuusu Mlungu, ndo mweni kiza kulawa kwa Tati. Hanumtumi kwa mwenga kulawa kwa Tati na hakatakuli kuusu neni.
27 And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Mwenga viraa, hamtakuli kuusu neni, toziya muweriti pamuhera na neni kwanjira kwanja.”
