John 15
1 I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.
“Nze muzabbibu ogw’amazima, ate Kitange ye mulimi.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear.
Buli ttabi eriri ku Nze eritabala bibala aliggyako. Naye buli ttabi eribala ebibala, alirongoosa lyeyongerenga okubala.
3 Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:
Mmwe kaakano muli balongoofu olw’ekigambo kye mbagambye;
4 Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide.
mubeere mu Nze era nange mbeere mu mmwe. Ng’ettabi bwe litayinza kubala bibala ku bwalyo nga teriri ku muzabbibu, bwe mutyo nammwe temuyinza kubala bibala bwe mutabeera mu Nze.
5 I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing.
“Nze muzabbibu, mmwe matabi. Buli abeera mu Nze nange ne mbeera mu ye oyo abala ebibala bingi. Kubanga awatali Nze temuliiko kye muyinza kukola.
6 If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them, —and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned.
Omuntu bw’atabeera mu nze asuulibwa ebweru ng’ettabi erikaze. Amatabi ng’ago bagakuŋŋaanya ne bagasuula ku muliro ne gaggya.
7 If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you.
Naye bwe munywerera mu Nze ne munyweza ebigambo byange, buli kye munaasabanga kinaabakolerwanga.
8 Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
Bwe mubala ebibala ebingi, muba bayigirizwa bange, ne Kitange, agulumizibwa.
9 Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.
“Mbaagadde nga Kitange bw’anjagala. Noolwekyo munywererenga mu kwagala kwange.
10 If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love, —just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love.
Bwe munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange olwo munaabanga munyweredde mu kwagala kwange, nga nange bwe ŋŋondera ebiragiro bya Kitange ne mbeera mu kwagala kwe.
11 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.
Mbategeezezza ebyo mulyoke mujjule essanyu lyange. Era essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire.
12 This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.
Kye mbalagira kye kino nti mwagalanenga nga Nze bwe mbaagala.
13 Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.
Tewali kwagala kusinga okw’omuntu awaayo obulamu bwe olwa mikwano gye.
14 Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.
Muba mikwano gyange bwe mukola bye mbalagira.
15 No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you.
Olwo nga sikyabayita baddu, kubanga omuddu tamanya bifa ku mukama we. Kaakano mmwe muli mikwano gyange, kubanga mbategeezezza byonna Kitange bye yaŋŋamba.
16 Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit, —and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you.
Si mmwe mwannonda! Wabula Nze nabalonda, mulyoke mubale ebibala ate ebibala eby’olubeerera. Olwo buli kye munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange anaakibawanga.
17 These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
Kye mbalagira kye kino nti mwagalanenga.
18 If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated.
“Ensi bw’ebakyawanga mumanye nti yasooka kukyawa nze.
19 If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.
Singa mubadde ba nsi, yandibaagadde, naye temuli ba nsi, kubanga nabalonda muve mu nsi, kyeva ebakyawa.
20 Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute, —If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep.
Mujjukire kye nabagamba nti, ‘Omuddu tasinga mukama we.’ Kale obanga Nze banjigganya era nammwe bagenda kubayigganyanga. Era obanga baagondera ebigambo byange n’ebyammwe balibigondera.
21 But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
Ebyo byonna balibibakola ku lw’erinnya lyange, kubanga eyantuma tebamumanyi.
22 Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin.
Singa sajja ne njogera nabo tebandibadde na musango. Naye kaakano tebalina kya kwewolereza olw’ekibi kyabwe.
23 He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.
Buli ankyawa aba akyawa ne Kitange.
24 Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Singa saakola mirimu egitaakolebwa muntu yenna mu bo tebandibaddeko musango. Naye kaakano balabye emirimu egyo, n’okutukyawa ne batukyawa, Nze ne Kitange.
25 But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled—They hated me without cause.
Ekyawandiikibwa ne kiryoka kituukirira ekigamba nti, ‘Bankyayira bwereere.’
26 Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me;
“Kyokka mmwe ndibatumira Omubeezi okuva eri Kitange, Omwoyo ow’amazima ava eri Kitange era alibategeeza buli ekinfaako.
27 And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
Era nammwe mulinjulira, kubanga mubadde nange okuva ku lubereberye.”
