John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
“Uneji ndili chitela chisyenesyene cha msabibu, ni Atati ŵangu ali jwakulima.
2 Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Lujambi lwaluli lose lwaluli mwangu une lwangalukusogola akulutyosya ni lujambi lwaluli lose lwalukusogola akulupogolela kuti lupunde kusogola.
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Ŵanyamwe mmasile kuŵa ŵasalele kwa ligongo lya majiganyo gangu ginansalile.
4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain 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. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you 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 doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burnt.
Mundu jwalijose iŵaga ngakutama mwa uneji akulandana ni lujambi lwalujasikwe kwakutalichila ni kuumula. Syele nyambi sikukumbikwa ni kutinisya pa mooto ni kutinika.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
Mwatamaga mwa uneji ni maloŵe gangu gatamaga nkati mwenu, mmende chachili chose chinkuchisaka ni ŵanyamwe chimpegwe.
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
Mwasogolaga isogosi yejinji, Atati ŵangu chakuswe ni ŵanyamwe chimme ŵakulijiganya ŵangu.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Uneji nannonyele ŵanyamwe mpela ila Atati ŵangu iŵanonyele une. Ntameje mu unonyelo wangu.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
Mwagakamulichisyaga malajisyo gangu chintame mu unonyelo wangu, mpela ila indite pakugakamulichisya malajisyo ga Atati ŵangu ni kutama mu unonyelo wao.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
“Nansalile yelei yose kuti usangalale wangu utame nkati mwenu, ni usangalale wenu upunde.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
Alili lili lilajisyo lyangu: Nnonyelane jwine ni jwine mpela indite pakunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Ngapangwa unonyelo wauli wekulungwa kuupunda unonyelo wa mundu jwakuutyosya umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya achambusanga ŵao.
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
Ŵanyamwe ndi achambusanga ŵangu mwatendaga chele chingunnajisya.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I 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 You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will 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 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
Nipele, lilajisyo lyangu kukwenu lili ali, nnonyelane jwine ni jwine.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
“Iŵaga ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano akunchima ŵanyamwe, mmanyilile kuti akanaŵe kunchima ŵanyamwe, ŵanjimile uneji kaje.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates 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: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
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 they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who 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 would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Ngungaiche ni kuŵecheta nawo, ngakaŵe ni sambi, nambo sambano ngakukombola kulichenjela kuti nganakola sambi.
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
Jwakunjima une, akwachima Atati ŵangu nombe.
24 If I hadn’t done amongst them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also 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 happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
Nambo itendekwe yele kuti gamalile maloŵe gagalembekwe Mmalajisyo gao gagakuti, ‘Ŵanjimile pangali ligongo.’
26 “When the Counsellor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about 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 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Ni ŵanyamwe nombe chimwasalile ŵandu nkati une pakuŵa ntemi pamo ni une chitandile kundanda.
