John 14
1 'Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;
Yesu akawaambia, “Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, mnamwamini Mungu, niaminini na mimi pia.
2 in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;
Nyumbani kwa Baba yangu kuna makao mengi. Kama sivyo, ningeliwaambia. Naenda kuwaandalia makao.
3 and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;
Nami nikienda na kuwaandalia makao, nitarudi tena na kuwachukua mkae pamoja nami, ili mahali nilipo, nanyi mpate kuwepo.
4 and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.'
Ninyi mnajua njia ya kufika ninakokwenda.”
5 Thomas saith to him, 'Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to 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 one doth come unto the Father, if not through 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, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.'
Kama mngenijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba pia. Tangu sasa, mnamjua Baba yangu, tena mmemwona.”
8 Philip saith to him, 'Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'
Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba yako yatosha.”
9 Jesus saith to him, 'So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to 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 is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth 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; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.
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 who is believing in me, the works that I do — that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on 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 may ask in my name, I will 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 ask anything in my name I will do [it].
Kama mkiniomba lolote kwa Jina langu nitalifanya.
15 'If ye love me, my commands keep,
“Kama mnanipenda, mtazishika amri zangu.
16 and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you — to the age; (aiōn g165)
Nami nitamwomba Baba, naye atawapa Msaidizi mwingine akae nanyi milele. (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain 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 bereaved, I come unto you;
Sitawaacha ninyi yatima, naja kwenu.
19 yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;
Bado kitambo kidogo ulimwengu hautaniona tena, ila ninyi mtaniona, kwa kuwa mimi ni hai, ninyi nanyi mtakuwa hai.
20 in 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 who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'
Yeyote mwenye amri zangu na kuzishika ndiye anipendaye, naye anipendaye atapendwa na Baba yangu, nami nitampenda na kujidhihirisha kwake.”
22 Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), 'Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, 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 any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;
Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu yeyote akinipenda atalishika neno langu na Baba yangu atampenda, nasi tutakuja kwake na kufanya makao yetu kwake.
24 he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
Mtu yeyote asiyenipenda hayashiki maneno yangu na maneno niliyowapa si yangu bali ni ya Baba aliyenituma.
25 'These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
“Nimewaambia mambo haya yote wakati bado niko pamoja nanyi.
26 and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I 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 to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;
Amani nawaachia, amani yangu nawapa, amani hii niwapayo si kama ile ulimwengu utoayo. Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, wala msiogope.
28 ye heard that I said to you — I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said — I go on to the Father, because 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 said [it] to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;
Nimewaambia mambo haya kabla hayajatukia, ili yatakapotukia mpate kuamini.
30 I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;
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 according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.
lakini ulimwengu upate kujua kuwa ninampenda Baba, nami hufanya vile Baba alivyoniamuru. “Haya inukeni; twendeni zetu.
