John 14
1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “Stop being anxious/worried. Keep on trusting in God (OR, You are trusting in God); also keep trusting in me.
“Mũtigatangĩke ngoro, mwĩhokei Ngai; o na niĩ mũnjĩhoke.
2 Where my Father is [in heaven] there is plenty of room! If that were not true, I would have told you. I am about to go [there] to prepare a place for you.
Thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Baba kũrĩ na ciikaro nyingĩ; gũtangĩrĩ ũguo ingĩrĩ kũmwĩra. Nĩngũthiĩ kuo kũmũthondekera handũ.
3 And because I will go [there] and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you there to be with me. I will do that so that you may also be where I am.
Na ndathiĩ na ndamũthondekera handũ-rĩ, nĩngacooka ndĩmũgĩĩre nĩgeetha o na inyuĩ mũkoragwo harĩa ndĩ.
4 You know the road to the place where I am going.”
Njĩra ya kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ inyuĩ nĩmũmĩũĩ.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. [So] how can we know the road?”
Nake Toma akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ithuĩ tũtiũĩ kũrĩa ũgũthiĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, njĩra tũngĩkĩmĩmenya atĩa?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the road [MET] [to where my Father is]. I am the [one who reveals] [MET] the truth [about God] and the [one who gives eternal] life [to people]. I am the only one who can [enable people] to come to [my] Father. There is no other way.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ njĩra, na nĩ niĩ ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, na nĩ niĩ muoyo. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkinyaga kũrĩ Baba atagereire harĩ niĩ.
7 If you [really] knew who I was, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and [it is as though] you have seen him.”
Korwo nĩmũũmenyete kũna, no mũmenye Baba o nake. Kuuma rĩu, nĩmũmũĩ na nĩ mũmuonete!”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”
Filipu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tuonie Baba na ithuĩ nĩtũkũiganĩra.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Philip, I have been with you for a long time. So (surely you should know who I [really am]!/why have you not come to know who I [really am]?) [RHQ] Those who have seen me, [it is as though] they have seen [my] Father. So (why do you say ‘Show us [your] Father’?/you should not say ‘Show us [your] Father’!) [RHQ]
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Filipu, ndũrĩ wamenya o na thuutha wa gũkorwo na inyuĩ ihinda iraihu ũguo? Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũnyonete nĩonete Baba. Ũngĩkiuga atĩa atĩ, ‘Tuonie Baba’?
10 Do you not [RHQ] believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father, and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me? The messages that I tell you do not come from me. They come from my Father, who has a close relationship with me. He is enabling me to [teach these things, and] to perform the miracles that he [wants me to perform].
Kaĩ ũtetĩkĩtie atĩ niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba, na atĩ Baba arĩ thĩinĩ wakwa? Ciugo iria ndĩmwĩraga ti ciakwa niĩ mwene; no Baba ũrĩa ũtũũraga thĩinĩ wakwa, nĩwe ũraruta wĩra wake.
11 Believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me. If you do not believe that just because of what I say, believe it because of the miracles themselves [that I have done].
Njĩtĩkiai rĩrĩa nguuga atĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba, nake Baba arĩ thĩinĩ wakwa; kana mũgĩĩtĩkie nĩ ũndũ wa ũira wa ciama iria ningaga.
12 Listen to this carefully: [You] who trust in me will do the [kinds of] miracles [that I have done]. [Because of what I will do for you] (OR, [Because I will send God’s Spirit to you]) after I go to my Father, you will be able to do [miracles] that will be greater than [the ones I have done].
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũnjĩtĩkĩtie, nĩarĩĩkaga maũndũ marĩa njĩkaga. Na nĩageeka o na maũndũ manene kũrĩ macio, tondũ ndĩrathiĩ kũrĩ Baba.
13 And whatever you, using my authority, ask me to do, I will do it, in order that I can show [you] how great [my] Father is.
Na ũrĩa wothe mũkahooya, nĩngawĩka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩgeetha Mũriũ arehere Baba riiri.
14 Anything that you ask [my Father to do, anything that you ask] with my [authority] [MTY], I will do.”
Mwahooya ũndũ o wothe thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩndĩrĩwĩkaga.
15 “If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
“Angĩkorwo nĩmũnyendete, nĩmũrĩathĩkagĩra ũrĩa ndĩmwathĩte.
16 Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn g165)
Na niĩ nĩngahooya Baba, nake nĩakamũhe Mũteithia ũngĩ aikarage na inyuĩ nginya tene, (aiōn g165)
17 [I am talking about] the Spirit, who [will teach you God’s] truth. He will be with you forever. Those who are opposed to God [MTY] cannot receive him, because they cannot understand what he [does], and they cannot know who he is. But you know who he is, because he is with you and he will be inside you.
nake nĩwe Roho ũrĩa wa ma. Nao andũ a gũkũ thĩ matingĩmwĩtĩkĩra tondũ matimuonaga na matimũũĩ. No inyuĩ nĩmũmũĩ nĩgũkorwo atũũranagia na inyuĩ, na aikaraga thĩinĩ wanyu.
18 [When I leave you], I will not let you be alone/helpless [MET]. [When I send the Spirit, it will be like] I am coming back to you (OR, [When I rise from the dead], I will come back to you.)
Ndikũmũtiga ta ciana cia ngoriai, nĩngũũka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
19 Soon those who do not belong to God [MTY] will not see me any more. But [when the Spirit comes to you, it will be as though] you will be seeing me again (OR, But [after I become alive again], you will see me again.) Because I will be alive again, you also will have [eternal] life.
Thuutha wa ihinda inyinyi, thĩ ndĩgũcooka kũnyona, no inyuĩ nĩmũrĩnyonaga. Tondũ nĩndũũraga muoyo, o na inyuĩ nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo.
20 At that time you will know that I have a close relationship with my Father, and you will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with you.
Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba, na inyuĩ mũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa, na niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.
21 Those who have accepted my commands and obey them are the people who love me. My Father will love those who love me. I also will love them, and I will fully reveal to them [what I am like].”
Ũrĩa wothe ũiguaga maathani makwa na akamaathĩkĩra, ũcio nĩwe ũnyendete. Nake ũcio ũnyendete nĩarĩendagwo nĩ Baba, o na niĩ nĩndĩmwendaga na ndĩĩonithanagie kũrĩ we.”
22 Then Judas spoke to him. He was not Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), [but instead a disciple whose other name was Thaddeus]. He said, “Lord, what has happened so that you can fully reveal to us what you are like, and not reveal that to those who do not belong to God [MTY]?”
Nake Judasi (no ti Isikariota) akiuga atĩrĩ, “No rĩrĩ Mwathani, nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wĩonithanie kũrĩ ithuĩ na ti kũrĩ andũ a gũkũ thĩ?”
23 Jesus replied to him, “Those who love me will obey what I have told them. My Father will [also] love them. It is those people whom my Father and I will [be able to] come to and (live with/have a personal relationship with).
Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũnyendete nĩarĩathĩkagĩra ũrutani wakwa. Baba nake nĩarĩmwendaga, na nĩtũrĩũkaga kũrĩ we tũtũũranagie nake.
24 But those who do not love me will not obey what I have told them. [So I cannot reveal to them what I am really like]. These words that I am telling you have not come just from me. They came from [my] Father, the one who sent me.
Ũrĩa ũtanyendete ndathĩkagĩra ũrutani wakwa. Ciugo icio mũiguaga ti ciakwa niĩ mwene; nĩ cia Baba ũrĩa wandũmire.
25 I have told you all these things while I am still with you.
“Maũndũ maya mothe ndamwarĩria tũrĩ o na inyuĩ.
26 But [my] Father will send the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. He will come with my authority [MTY]. He will teach you all of [God’s truth that you need to know]. He will also cause you to remember all the things that I have told you.
No rĩrĩ, we Mũteithia, na nĩwe Roho Mũtheru, ũrĩa Baba agaatũma thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩakamũruta maũndũ mothe na amũririkanie ũrĩa wothe ndĩmwĩrĩte.
27 As I leave you, I am causing you to have [inner] peace. This [inner] peace comes from me. I am not causing you to have something that those who do not belong to God [MTY] can give you. [So] stop being anxious/worried, and do not be afraid.
Thayũ nĩguo ngũmũtigĩra; thayũ wakwa nĩguo ndaamũhe. Ndikũmũhe thayũ ta ũrĩa ũheanagwo nĩ andũ a gũkũ thĩ. Mũtigatangĩke ngoro kana mwĩtigĩre.
28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, but [later] I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going back to [my] Father, because [my] Father is greater than I am, [and there he will honor me and will send the Spirit to you].
“Inyuĩ nĩmwaiguire ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũthiĩ na nĩngacooka njũke kũrĩ inyuĩ rĩngĩ.’ Angĩkorwo nĩmũnyendete-rĩ, no mũkene tondũ ndĩrathiĩ kũrĩ Baba, nĩgũkorwo Baba nĩ mũnene kũrĩ niĩ.
29 I have told you [these things now] before they happen, so that when they happen you will believe [that what I said is true].
Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio o rĩu matanekĩka nĩgeetha rĩrĩa magekĩka mũgeetĩkia.
30 I will not [be able to] talk to you much longer, because what happens to me will be as though [Satan], the ruler of this world, is coming [to attack me]. But he has no [control over what happens to] me.
Ndikũmwarĩria ũhoro ũyũ ihinda iraaya, nĩgũkorwo mũnene wa gũkũ thĩ nĩarooka. We ndarĩ na hinya wa kũnjatha,
31 Instead, the people who do not belong to God [MTY] must learn [from what happens to me] that I love [my] Father, and I am doing the things that he has commanded me to do. Now, let’s get up and leave here.”
no andũ a gũkũ thĩ no nginya mamenye atĩ nĩnyendete Baba, na atĩ njĩkaga o ũrĩa Baba anjathĩte. “Ũkai rĩu; nĩtũthiĩi.
