John 14
1 'Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;
“Usiruhusu moyo wako kuwa katika mahangaiko. Unamwamini Mungu niamini pia na mimi.
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;
Katika nyumba ya Baba yangu kuna makazi mengi ya kukaa; kama isingekuwa hivyo, ningekuwa nimekuambia, kwa vile ninakwenda kukuandalia mahali kwa ajili yako.
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;
Kama nikienda na kuwaandalia mahali, nitakuja tena kuwakaribisha kwangu, ili mahali nilipo pia nanyi muwepo.
4 and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.'
Mnajua njia mahali ninakoenda.”
5 Thomas saith to him, 'Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?'
Tomaso alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, hatujui mahali unakoenda; Je! Tunawezaje kuijua 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 alimwambia, “Mimi ndiye njia, kweli, na uzima; hakuna awezaye kuja kwa Baba isipokuwa 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 mngeli nijua mimi, mngalikuwa mnamjua na Baba yangu pia; kuanzia sasa na kuendelea mnamjua na mmeshamuona yeye.”
8 Philip saith to him, 'Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'
Philipo alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba, na hivyo itakuwa imetutosha.”
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 akamwambia, “Sijakuwa pamoja nanyi kwa muda mrefu, na bado hunijui mimi, Philipo? Yeyote aliyeniona mimi amemwona Baba; Jinsi gani unasema, '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;
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; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.
Niamini mimi, kwamba niko ndani ya Baba, na Baba yuko ndani yangu; kadhalika niamini mimi kwa sababu ya kazi zangu hasa.
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;
Amini, amini, nawaambia, yeye aniaminiye, mimi kazi zile nizifanyazo, atazifanya kazi hizi pia; na atafanya hata kazi kubwa kwasababu ninakwenda kwa Baba.
13 and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;
Chochote mkiomba katika jina langu, nitafanya ili kwamba Baba aweze kutukuzwa katika Mwana.
14 if ye ask anything in my name I will do [it].
Kama mkiomba kitu chochote katika jina langu, hilo nitafanya.
15 'If ye love me, my commands keep,
Kama mkinipenda, 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)
Na nitamwomba Baba, Naye atawapa Msaidizi mwingine ili kwamba aweze kuwa pamoja 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.
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 bereaved, I come unto you;
Sitawaacha peke yenu; Nitarudi kwenu.
19 yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;
Kwa muda kitambo, ulimwengu hautaniona tena, lakini ninyi mwaniona. Kwa sababu ninaishi, nanyi mtaishi pia.
20 in that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye 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 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 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 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?'
Yuda (siyo Iskariote) akamwambia Yesu, “Bwana, Je! Ni nini kinatokea kwamba utajionyesha mwenyewe kwetu na siyo 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 alijibu akamwambia, “Kama yeyote danipendaye, atalishika neno langu. Baba yangu atampenda, na tutakuja kwake na tutafanya makao yetu pamoja naye.
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.
Yeyote ambaye hanipendi mimi, hashiki maneno yangu. Neno ambalo mnasikia siyo langu bali la Baba ambaye alinituma.
25 'These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
Nimeyasema mambo haya kwenu, wakati bado ninaishi miongoni mwenu.
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.
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 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 nawapa amani yangu ninyi. Siwapi hii kama ulimwengu utoavyo. Msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa na mahangaiko, na woga.
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.
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 'And now I have said [it] to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;
Sasa nimekwisha kuwaambia kabla haijatokea ili kwamba, wakati ikitokea, mweze kuamini.
30 I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;
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 according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.
lakini ili kwamba ulimwengu upate kujua kwamba nampenda Baba, nafanya ambacho Baba ananiagiza mimi, kama vile alivyonipa amri. Inukeni, na tutoke mahali hapa.
