John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
“Uneji ndili chitela chisyenesyene cha msabibu, ni Atati ŵangu ali jwakulima.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he trimmeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Lujambi lwaluli lose lwaluli mwangu une lwangalukusogola akulutyosya ni lujambi lwaluli lose lwalukusogola akulupogolela kuti lupunde kusogola.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.
Ŵanyamwe mmasile kuŵa ŵasalele kwa ligongo lya majiganyo gangu ginansalile.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Ntame nkati mwangu, ni uneji chindame nkati mwenu. Mpela ila lujambi ngalukombola kusogola isogosi iŵaga nganilusigala pa msabibu usyene, iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe iŵaga ngankutama munkati mwangu chinnepele kusogola isogosi.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
“Uneji ndili mpela chitela cha msabibu ni ŵanyamwe ndi nyambi. Jwakutama mwa uneji, ni uneji mwa jwelejo, jwelejo chasogole isogosi yejinji, pakuŵa ŵanyamwe jikape ngankukombola kupanganya chachili chose.
6 If a man abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Mundu jwalijose iŵaga ngakutama mwa uneji akulandana ni lujambi lwalujasikwe kwakutalichila ni kuumula. Syele nyambi sikukumbikwa ni kutinisya pa mooto ni kutinika.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.
Mwatamaga mwa uneji ni maloŵe gangu gatamaga nkati mwenu, mmende chachili chose chinkuchisaka ni ŵanyamwe chimpegwe.
8 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Mwasogolaga isogosi yejinji, Atati ŵangu chakuswe ni ŵanyamwe chimme ŵakulijiganya ŵangu.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
Uneji nannonyele ŵanyamwe mpela ila Atati ŵangu iŵanonyele une. Ntameje mu unonyelo wangu.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
Mwagakamulichisyaga malajisyo gangu chintame mu unonyelo wangu, mpela ila indite pakugakamulichisya malajisyo ga Atati ŵangu ni kutama mu unonyelo wao.
11 These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
“Nansalile yelei yose kuti usangalale wangu utame nkati mwenu, ni usangalale wenu upunde.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Alili lili lilajisyo lyangu: Nnonyelane jwine ni jwine mpela indite pakunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ngapangwa unonyelo wauli wekulungwa kuupunda unonyelo wa mundu jwakuutyosya umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya achambusanga ŵao.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you.
Ŵanyamwe ndi achambusanga ŵangu mwatendaga chele chingunnajisya.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
Uneji ngangummilanga sooni ŵakutumichila, pakuŵa jwakutumichila ngakuchimanyilila chakupanganya mmbujegwe. Nambo uneji nammilasile ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, pakuŵa nammanyisye yose inaipilikene kutyochela kwa Atati ŵangu.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Ŵanyamwe nganimuusagula uneji, nambo uneji nansagwile ŵanyamwe ni kuntuma njaule nkasogole isogosi yejinji yaani ipanganyo yambone, ichitame moŵa gose, nipele chachili chose chachimwaŵende Atati ŵangu kwa liina lyangu chimpegwe.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Nipele, lilajisyo lyangu kukwenu lili ali, nnonyelane jwine ni jwine.
18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
“Iŵaga ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano akunchima ŵanyamwe, mmanyilile kuti akanaŵe kunchima ŵanyamwe, ŵanjimile uneji kaje.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Nkaliji ŵandu ŵa pachilambo, ŵandu akunnonyela ŵanyamwe mpela achinjao. Ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵa pachilambo, nambo une nansagwile ŵanyamwe pasikati ja ŵandu ŵa pachilambo. Kwa ligongo lyo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo akunchima ŵanyamwe.
20 Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
Nkumbuchile inansalile yo kuti, ‘Jwakutumichila nganaŵa jwankulungwa kumpunda mmbujegwe.’ Iŵaga ŵalagesye uneji, ni ŵanyamwe nombe chanlagasye, agakamulichisyaga majiganyo gangu, ni majiganyo genu chagakamulisye.
21 But all these things will they do to you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
Nambo champanganyichisye ŵanyamwe yeleyo yose pakuŵa ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵangu, ligongo ngakwamanyilila ŵelewo ŵandumile une.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
Ngungaiche ni kuŵecheta nawo, ngakaŵe ni sambi, nambo sambano ngakukombola kulichenjela kuti nganakola sambi.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Jwakunjima une, akwachima Atati ŵangu nombe.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Ngangapanganye kukwao masengo ganganagapanganye jwine, ngaakakole sambi, nambo sambano aiweni yakusimonjeka indesile, ali chiŵela kutuchima une ni Atati ŵangu.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
Nambo itendekwe yele kuti gamalile maloŵe gagalembekwe Mmalajisyo gao gagakuti, ‘Ŵanjimile pangali ligongo.’
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify concerning me:
“Chinantume nkamusi kutyochela kwa Atati ŵangu, jwele ali Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, juchasale usyene nkati Akunnungu. Chinantume kukwenu kutyochela kwa Atati kuti ansalile usyene nkati uneji.
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Ni ŵanyamwe nombe chimwasalile ŵandu nkati une pakuŵa ntemi pamo ni une chitandile kundanda.
