John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye 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 were not 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 come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
Nami nikienda na kuwaandalia makao, nitarudi tena na kuwachukua mkae pamoja nami, ili mahali nilipo, nanyi mpate kuwepo.
4 And whither I go, ye know the way.
Ninyi mnajua njia ya kufika ninakokwenda.”
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
Tomaso akamwambia, “Bwana, sisi hatujui unakokwenda, tutaijuaje njia?”
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndimi njia na kweli na uzima. Mtu hawezi kuja kwa Baba isipokuwa kwa kupitia kwangu.
7 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Kama mngenijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba pia. Tangu sasa, mnamjua Baba yangu, tena mmemwona.”
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba yako yatosha.”
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Shew 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 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth 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 in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Nisadiki mimi kwamba niko ndani ya Baba na Baba yuko ndani yangu, la sivyo, niaminini kwa sababu ya zile kazi nizitendazo.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto 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 whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I 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 ye shall ask me anything in my name, that will I do.
Kama mkiniomba lolote kwa Jina langu nitalifanya.
15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.
“Kama mnanipenda, mtazishika amri zangu.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn g165)
Nami nitamwomba Baba, naye atawapa Msaidizi mwingine akae nanyi milele. (aiōn g165)
17 [even] the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall 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 desolate: I come unto you.
Sitawaacha ninyi yatima, naja kwenu.
19 Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Bado kitambo kidogo ulimwengu hautaniona tena, ila ninyi mtaniona, kwa kuwa mimi ni hai, ninyi nanyi mtakuwa hai.
20 In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye 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 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.
Yeyote mwenye amri zangu na kuzishika ndiye anipendaye, naye anipendaye atapendwa na Baba yangu, nami nitampenda na kujidhihirisha kwake.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
Ndipo Yuda, siyo Iskariote, akamwambia, “Bwana, itakuwaje kwamba utajidhihirisha kwetu na si kwa ulimwengu?”
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu yeyote akinipenda atalishika neno langu na Baba yangu atampenda, nasi tutakuja kwake na kufanya makao yetu kwake.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye 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 These things have I spoken unto you, while [yet] abiding with you.
“Nimewaambia mambo haya yote wakati bado niko pamoja nanyi.
26 But the Comforter, [even] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto 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 unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
Amani nawaachia, amani yangu nawapa, amani hii niwapayo si kama ile ulimwengu utoayo. Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, wala msiogope.
28 Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto 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 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.
Nimewaambia mambo haya kabla hayajatukia, ili yatakapotukia mpate kuamini.
30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in 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 gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
lakini ulimwengu upate kujua kuwa ninampenda Baba, nami hufanya vile Baba alivyoniamuru. “Haya inukeni; twendeni zetu.
