Yochanan 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
Ane endi mzabibu ogu gwe lyoli, odaada wane omwene mkulima we mzabibu.
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.
Isamba lya salipapa endondo, elyefwa ila isamba lya lipapa endondo alyefwa ili aje nkali papaje tee.
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Amwe muli bhinza alengane ne nongwa yembabhozezye.
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.
Mukhale muhati yane na muhati yenyu. Nanshi isamba seligapapa lyene nkaselili mumuzabibu, shesho namwe, nkase mukhala muhati yane.
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.
Ane endi mzabibu; amwe muli nsamba. Wakhala muhati yane nane muhati yakwe, omuntu ono apapa endondo zinyinji, afuatanaje bila ane amwe simuwezizye abhombe embombo yayonti.
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.
Nkashe omuntu wawonti wasaga abhakhale muhati yane, abhatagwe nanshi osamba na hwome; abhantu bhabhonganya amasamba na agataje humwoto, na galongolela.
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.
Nkashe mubhakhale muhati yane, na nkashe amazu gane ganzakhale muhati yenyu, labhaji lyalyonti lya mubhahwanze, namwe mubhabhombelwe.
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
Hweli odaada amwamihwe, naje mupapa endondo zinyinji naje bhanafunzi bhane.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Nkashe odaada wane shangene ane, ane nane embagene amwe, khalaji mulugano lwane.
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.
Nkashe mubhakhate endajizyo zyane, mubhakhale mulugano lwane nashi shehete endajizyo yza daada wane na khale mulugano lwakwe.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Enjanjile enongwa ezi hulimwe aje olusongwo lwane lubhe muhati yenyu na aje olusongwo lwenyu lubhombeshe abhe golusu.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
Olu lulajizyo lwane aje mganane amwe hu mwemwe nanshi sembagene amwe.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Nomo omuntu waali nolugano ogosi ashile ou aje afumwe olwizo lwakwe eshauli ya bhanje.
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
Amwe muli bha mwetu nkamubhabhombe gala gembalajizya.
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.
Sembakwizyabhaboyi, afuatanaje oboyi samanya kila habhomba ogosi wakwe. Embakwizya amwe bhamwetu, alenganaje embabhozezye enongwa zyonti zyenonvwezye afume hwa Daada.
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.
Semwansaluye ane ila ane nabhasaluye amwe na bhabheshe aje mubhalaje apape endondo, na endondo zyenyu zipate akhale. Eli lili eshi aje hahonti hamulabha hwa Daada hwi tawa lyane, anzabhapele.
17 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
Enongwa ezi embalajizya aje mganane shila muntu nowamwabho.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
Nkashe ensi enzabhavitwe, mumanye aje ebhanvitwe nene sheli seele abhavitwe amwe.
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.
Nkashe mugali bha munsi, ensi handa ebhagene nanshi bha mwabho; Afuatanaje amwe semuli bha munsi na afwatanaje senabhachaguye afume munsi, afuatane neshi insi ebhavitwa.
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.
Komboshi izu lyana bhabhozezye, 'Oboyi se gosi ashile ogosi wakwe.' Nkashe bhanjenvezye ane, bhaibhaye nvya lyane, handabhakhete iklyalimwe lyape.
21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
Bhaibhabhombela amambo ega gonti alengane ni tawa lyane alengane sebhamenye ola wantumile.
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.
Nkashe engalisenenzele na bhabhozye handasabhabhombile embibhi, ila esalezi sebhali noudhuru hu mbibhi zyabho.
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
Wanvwitwa ane ahuvitwa yo Daada nantele.
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.
Nkashe sembombile embombo muhati yabho enganomo omo wabho waibhombile, handasebhali ne mbibhi; ila esalezi wabhombile gonti gabhele bhalolile na bhvitilwe ane no Daada wane.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
Ene efumila aje izu likamilishe lyalyandihwe mundajizyo: 'Zyabhowanvitwa ane bila li kosa.'
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.
Wazinda ayenzele, wembahufume hulimwe afume hwa Daada, ono yayono, Ompepo we lyoli, wafuma hwa Daada, aihakikisizya.
27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Amwe mhakikisizya afuatanaje muuli pandwemo nane afume ahwande.
