Yochanan 14
1 “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
“Usiruhusu moyo wako kuwa katika mahangaiko. Unamwamini Mungu niamini pia na mimi.
2 In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
Katika nyumba ya Baba yangu kuna makazi mengi ya kukaa; kama isingekuwa hivyo, ningekuwa nimekuambia, kwa vile ninakwenda kukuandalia mahali kwa ajili yako.
3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
Kama nikienda na kuwaandalia mahali, nitakuja tena kuwakaribisha kwangu, ili mahali nilipo pia nanyi muwepo.
4 You know where I go, and you know the way.”
Mnajua njia mahali ninakoenda.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
Tomaso alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, hatujui mahali unakoenda; Je! Tunawezaje kuijua njia?
6 Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Yesu alimwambia, “Mimi ndiye njia, kweli, na uzima; hakuna awezaye kuja kwa Baba isipokuwa kupitia kwangu.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.”
Kama mngeli nijua mimi, mngalikuwa mnamjua na Baba yangu pia; kuanzia sasa na kuendelea mnamjua na mmeshamuona yeye.”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Philipo alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba, na hivyo itakuwa imetutosha.”
9 Yeshua said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Yesu akamwambia, “Sijakuwa pamoja nanyi kwa muda mrefu, na bado hunijui mimi, Philipo? Yeyote aliyeniona mimi amemwona Baba; Jinsi gani unasema, 'Tuonyeshe Baba'?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
Hamuamini kuwa mimi ni ndani ya Baba, na Baba yu ndani yangu? Maneno ninayoyasema kwenu sisemi kwa kusudi langu mwenyewe; badala yake, ni Baba anayeishi ndani yangu anayetenda kazi yake.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Niamini mimi, kwamba niko ndani ya Baba, na Baba yuko ndani yangu; kadhalika niamini mimi kwa sababu ya kazi zangu hasa.
12 Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
Amini, amini, nawaambia, yeye aniaminiye, mimi kazi zile nizifanyazo, atazifanya kazi hizi pia; na atafanya hata kazi kubwa kwasababu ninakwenda kwa Baba.
13 Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Chochote mkiomba katika jina langu, nitafanya ili kwamba Baba aweze kutukuzwa katika Mwana.
14 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
Kama mkiomba kitu chochote katika jina langu, hilo nitafanya.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
Kama mkinipenda, mtazishika amri zangu.
16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor, that he may be with you forever: (aiōn g165)
Na nitamwomba Baba, Naye atawapa Msaidizi mwingine ili kwamba aweze kuwa pamoja nanyi milele, (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
Roho wa kweli. Ulimwengu hauwezi kumpokea yeye kwa sababu haumuoni, au kumjwa yeye. hata hivyo ninyi, mnamjua yeye, kwani anakaa pamoja nayi na atakuwa ndani yenu.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
Sitawaacha peke yenu; Nitarudi kwenu.
19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
Kwa muda kitambo, ulimwengu hautaniona tena, lakini ninyi mwaniona. Kwa sababu ninaishi, nanyi mtaishi pia.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
Katika siku hiyo mtajua kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba, na kwamba ninyi mko ndani yangu, na kwamba mimi niko ndani yenu.
21 One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
Yeyote azishikaye amri zangu na kuzitenda, ndiye mmoja ambaye anipenda mimi; na ambaye anipenda mimi atapendwa na Baba yangu, na Nitampenda na nitajionyesha mimi mwenyewe kwake.”
22 Judah (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Yuda (siyo Iskariote) akamwambia Yesu, “Bwana, Je! Ni nini kinatokea kwamba utajionyesha mwenyewe kwetu na siyo kwa ulimwengu?
23 Yeshua answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
Yesu alijibu akamwambia, “Kama yeyote danipendaye, atalishika neno langu. Baba yangu atampenda, na tutakuja kwake na tutafanya makao yetu pamoja naye.
24 He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
Yeyote ambaye hanipendi mimi, hashiki maneno yangu. Neno ambalo mnasikia siyo langu bali la Baba ambaye alinituma.
25 “I have said these things to you while still living with you.
Nimeyasema mambo haya kwenu, wakati bado ninaishi miongoni mwenu.
26 But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
Hata hivyo, Mfariji, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu, atawafundisha mambo yote na atawafanya mkumbuke yote ambayo niliyasema kwenu.
27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
Amani nawapa amani yangu ninyi. Siwapi hii kama ulimwengu utoavyo. Msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa na mahangaiko, na woga.
28 You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.
Mlisikia vile nilivyowaambia, 'Ninaenda zangu, na nitarudi kwenu.' Kama mngelinipenda mimi, mngekuwa na furaha kwa sababu ninakwenda kwa Baba, kwa kuwa Baba ni mkuu kuliko mimi.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
Sasa nimekwisha kuwaambia kabla haijatokea ili kwamba, wakati ikitokea, mweze kuamini.
30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
Sitaongea nanyi maneno mengi, kwa kuwa mkuu wa dunia hii anakuja. Yeye hana nguvu juu yangu,
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
lakini ili kwamba ulimwengu upate kujua kwamba nampenda Baba, nafanya ambacho Baba ananiagiza mimi, kama vile alivyonipa amri. Inukeni, na tutoke mahali hapa.
