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. 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 will come again, and receive you to 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 where I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Ninyi mnajua njia ya kufika ninakokwenda.”
5 Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Tomaso akamwambia, “Bwana, sisi hatujui unakokwenda, tutaijuaje njia?”
6 Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to 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 should have known my Father also: and 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 to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba yako yatosha.”
9 Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show 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 speak to you I speak not from myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the 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 to 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 to my 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 whatever 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 any thing in my name, I will do it.
Kama mkiniomba lolote kwa Jina langu nitalifanya.
15 If ye love me, 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 abide 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, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth 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 comfortless: I will come to you.
Sitawaacha ninyi yatima, naja kwenu.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see 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 At 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 by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to 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 to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt reveal thyself to us, and not to the world?
Ndipo Yuda, siyo Iskariote, akamwambia, “Bwana, itakuwaje kwamba utajidhihirisha kwetu na si kwa ulimwengu?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loveth me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to 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 sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but that of the Father 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 to you, being yet present with you.
“Nimewaambia mambo haya yote wakati bado niko pamoja nanyi.
26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to 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 to you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Amani nawaachia, amani yangu nawapa, amani hii niwapayo si kama ile ulimwengu utoayo. Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, wala msiogope.
28 Ye have heard that I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my 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 cometh to pass, that, when it hath come to pass, ye may believe.
Nimewaambia mambo haya kabla hayajatukia, ili yatakapotukia mpate kuamini.
30 After this I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and 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 from here.
lakini ulimwengu upate kujua kuwa ninampenda Baba, nami hufanya vile Baba alivyoniamuru. “Haya inukeni; twendeni zetu.
