John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
A Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa, “Nne nshabhibhu gwa kweli, bhaalima ni Atati.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit he cleanseth, that it may bear more fruit.
Lujambi lolowe luli nkati jangu lukaogoye iyepo, lunashelwa nishoywa, na lolowe luogola, lunaunilwa ntonga lukonje lupunde ogola.
3 Ye are clean already, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.
Mmanganyanji nkonjilenje kwa ligongo lya ntenga gunimmalanjilenje gula.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye abide in me.
Ntamangane nkati jangu, na nne nkati jenunji. Na malinga lujambi pulukaogoya iyepo jikape, lukabhe munshabhibhu, nneyo peyo na mmanganyanji nngakombola kuogoya iyepo nkatamangane nkati jangu.”
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart from me ye can do nothing.
“Nne nshabhibhu, mmanganyanji nyambi. Atama nkati jangu, na nne ndamaga nkati jakwe, jwenejo shaogoye iyepo yaigwinji, pabha gwangali nne nkakombolanga tenda shoshowe.
6 If any one abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burned.
Mundu jojowe akatame nkati jangu, analeshelwa palanga malinga lujambi pululeshelwa palanga ni jumula. Nilokotwa na bhandunji nileshelwa pamoto lutinishe.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever ye will, and it shall be done for you.
Ntamanganaga nkati jangu, na malobhe gangu gatamaga nkati jenunji, bhai, nnjuganje shoshowe shinkupinganga na mmanganya shimpegwanje.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will become my disciples.
Shimmanganje bhaajiganywa bhangu, niogoya iepo yaigwinji na kwa nneyo Atati shibhakuywe.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
Nne ngunakumpinganga mmanganyanji malinga Atati shibhambinga nne. Ntamangane nkupingana na nne.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye will abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Nkamulangaga amuli yangu, shintamangane nkupingana na nne, malinga nne shingamwile amuli ya Atati na tama nkupingana kwabho.
11 These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Njikummalanjilanga genego nkupinga angalala kwangu kutame nilonjeya nkati jenunji, na angalala kwenunji kutimilile.
12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Amuli jangu ni ajino, mpingane, malinga shinimpinjilenje nne.
13 Greater love hath no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Kwakwa kupinga kupundile, kwa mundu kwiishoya gumi gwake kwa ligongo lya ashaambwiga ajakwe.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do what I command you.
Mmanganyanji ashaambwiga ajangu ntendangaga gungung'amulishanga.
15 No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things which I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
Nganshemanga kabhili bhatumishi, pabha ntumishi akakushimanya shibhaatenda bhakulungwa bhakwe. Ikabheje mmanganyanji njikunshemanga ashaambwiga, pabha ninng'ibhulilenje gowe gumbilikene kwa Atati.
16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Nngabha mmanganyanji nng'agwilenje nne, ikabhe nne ning'agwilenje mmanganyanji nikuntumanga nnjendangane nkaogoyanje iepo na iepo yenunji ilonjeye, na bhalabho Atati bhampanganje shoshowe shinkwaajuganga kwa lina lyangu.
17 This I command you, that ye love one another.
Bhai, amuli jangu jingumpanganga ni ajino, mpingane.”
18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you.
A Yeshu gubhashite, “Ibhaga shilambolyo shinshimangaga mmanganyanji, nkumbushilanje kuti, shinjimile nne shikanabhe kunshimanga mmanganyanji.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Ibhaga nkalinginji bhandu bha shilambolyo, shilambolyo shikampinjilenje pabha bhandunji bhakwe. Ikabheje pabha mmanganyanji nngabha bha pa shilambolyo, ikabhe nne njikunng'agulanga kopoka kushilambolyo, kwa lyene ligongolyo shilambolyo shinakunshimanga.
20 Remember what I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my words, they will keep yours also.
Nkumbushilanje gunimmalanjilenje, ntumwa nngabha jwankulungwa kupunda bhakulungwa bhakwe. Ibhaga bhashimbotekanga nne, shibhampotekanje na mmanganyanji, monaga bhakamulenje lilobhe lyangu, nneila peila shibhakamulanje na lilobhe lyenunji.
21 But all these things will they do to you on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
Ikabheje genego gowe shibhantendelanje kwa ligongo lya lina lyangu, pabha bhakakwamanyanga bhandumile bhala.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Monaga ngungaisheje nibheleketa nabhonji, bhakanakolanje yambi, ikabheje nnaino bhakakombolanga kwiembuya kuti bhangalinginji yambi.
23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
Anjima nne, anakwaashima na Atati.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Monaga ngalepele tenda indu ikanabhe tendwa naka mundu juna ngubhakakwetenjeje yambi, ikabheje nnaino bhagabhweninji gundendile, na gubhanjimilenje nne na Atati.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their Law: “They hated me without a cause.”
Ikabheje gatimilile malobhe ga shalia yabhonji, ‘Bhashinjimanga nne gwayoyo!’
26 When the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he will bear witness of me.
“Ikabheje pashaishe nkujangutajo, jushinintume kungwenunji kopoka kwa Atati, Mbumu jwa kweli, jwenejo shangong'ondele nne.
27 And ye also are witnesses, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Na mmanganyanji shinngong'ondelanje, pabha nshibhanganga na nne kuumila kundandubho.”
