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.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Mintima mieno mibika ba mu kiadi. Luwilukila Nzambi ayi lunguilukila mamvama.
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.
Mu nzo Dise diama bibuangu biwombo bidi muna. Enati buawu ko nganu ndilukembi buawu. Bila ndiedi mu diambu di kulukubikila buangu.
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.
Enati ndiedi ayi ndilukubikidi buangu, buna ndiela vutuka ayi ndiela kuiza kululanda muingi mamveno luba ba va ndiela ba.
4 You know the road to the place where I am going.”
Beno luzebi koko ndinkuenda ayi luzebi nzila!
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. [So] how can we know the road?”
Toma wunyuvula: —A Pfumu, tukadi kueto zaba koko wunkuenda. Buna buevi tufueti zabila nzila e?
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.
Yesu wumvutudila: —Minu ndidi nzila, kiedika ayi luzingu. Kadi mutu kalendikuenda kuidi Tata ko enati kasi viokila ko vadi minu.
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.”
Enati beno lunzebi, nganu luzebi Dise diama; vayi tona buabu lunzebi ayi lummueni.
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”
Buna Filipi wunkamba: —Pfumu, wutumonisa Tata, buna difueni kuandi kuidi beto!
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]
Yesu wumvutudila: —Filipi, tona thama ndidi yeno va kimosi vayi wusi kunzaba ko e? Woso mutu wumbueni, mueni Tata. Buna buevi wulenda tubila ti: “wutumonisa tata e?”
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].
Wukadi kuaku wilukila ti minu ndidi mu Tata ayi Tata widi mu minu e? Mambu ndikulukamba, ndikadi ku matubila mu luzolo luama veka. Tata widi mu minu niandi weti vanga mavanga mandi.
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].
Lunguilukila minu ndidi mu Tata ayi Tata widi mu minu. Muaki mbote kuandi luwilukila mu diambu di mavanga.
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].
Bukiedika ndikulukamba woso mutu wukunguilukila, mamvandi wela vanga mavanga mama ndilembo vangi. Ayi mavanga kela vanga mela viatuka mama bila minu ndieka kuenda kuidi Tata.
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.
Mamo luela lomba mu dizina diama, ndiela mavanga muingi Tatakakemboso mu muana.
14 Anything that you ask [my Father to do, anything that you ask] with my [authority] [MTY], I will do.”
Enati lulombidi diambu mu dizina diama minu ndiela divanga.
15 “If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
—Enati beno lueta kunzola buna lukinzikanga zithumunu ziama.
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)
Ndiela leba Tata ayi wela kuluvana mbombi wunkaka muingi kakalanga yeno mu zithangu zioso; (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.
niandi Pheve yi kiedika. Nza yilendi tambula Pheve beni ko, bila nza yilendi kuyimona ko ayi kasi yizaba ko vayi beno luyizebi bila yidi yeno ayi yela ba mu beno.
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.)
Ndilendi kulubika banga bana basana ko vayi ndiela kuiza kuidi beno.
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.
Fioti fisiedi buna nza yilendi buela kumbona diaka ko, vayi beno luela kumbona bila minu ndilembo zingi ayi beno mamveno luela zinga.
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.
Mu lumbu kina luela zaba ti kiedika minu ndidi mu Dise diama, beno luidi mu minu ayi minu ndidi mu beno.
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].”
Woso mutu wunlundanga zithumunu ziama ayi wukuzisadilanga bunaniandi wukunzolanga; ayi woso mutu wukunzolanga, Dise diama diela kunzola ayi minu ndiela kunzola ayi ndiela kukimonikisa kuidi niandi.
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]?”
Yuda, vayi bika Yuda diodi batedfila Isikalioti, wunyuvula: —Pfumu, bila mbi kuidi beto kaka wela kukimonikisa vayi bika kuidi nza e?
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).
Yesu wumvutudila: —Enati mutu wunzodidi, wela sadilanga mambu mama ayi Dise diama diela kunzola. Tuela kuiza kuidi niandi ayi tuela tunga nzoꞌeto mu niandi.
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.
Woso mutu wukambu kunzolanga, buna kasadilanga ko mambu mama. Mambu lulembo wi masi mambu mama ko vayi mambu ma Dise diodi dithuma.
25 I have told you all these things while I am still with you.
Ndilukembi mambu mama bu ndikidi yeno.
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.
Vayi mbombi, Pheve Yinlongo, yoyi Tata kela fidisa mu dizina diama, wela kululonga mambu moso ayi wela kulutebula moyo mu mambu moso momo ndilukembi.
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.
Minu ndilubikidi ndembama ayi ndiluveni ndembama yama. Minu ndikadi kuluvana banga bueta vanina nza. Mintima mieno mibika ba kiadi ayi mibika mona tsisi.
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].
Beno luwa ti minu ndilukamba: Minu ndiedi vayi ndiela kuiza kuidi beno. Enati bukiedika beno lunzola nganu khini lummona mu diambu ndiela kuenda kuidi Tata, bila Tata niandi wundutidi munnene.
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].
Ndilukembi mambu mama bu kamavangimini ko muingi luba wilukila thangu mela vangama.
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.
Ndisiedi ko thangu yiwombo mu buela solula yeno bila pfumu yi nza wulembo yizi. Muaki kasi ko kadi lulendo mu minu.
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.”
Vayi mu diambu nza yizaba ti ndieta zola Tata, ndieta vanga boso buididi thumunu yi tata, bika lutelama; tubotukanu vava.
