< Johana 14 >
1 “Mũtigatangĩke ngoro, mwĩhokei Ngai; o na niĩ mũnjĩhoke.
Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.
2 Thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Baba kũrĩ na ciikaro nyingĩ; gũtangĩrĩ ũguo ingĩrĩ kũmwĩra. Nĩngũthiĩ kuo kũmũthondekera handũ.
In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?
3 Na ndathiĩ na ndamũthondekera handũ-rĩ, nĩngacooka ndĩmũgĩĩre nĩgeetha o na inyuĩ mũkoragwo harĩa ndĩ.
And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.
4 Njĩra ya kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ inyuĩ nĩmũmĩũĩ.”
And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.
5 Nake Toma akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ithuĩ tũtiũĩ kũrĩa ũgũthiĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, njĩra tũngĩkĩmĩmenya atĩa?”
Thomas said, Lord, we have no knowledge of where you are going; how may we have knowledge of the way?
6 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ njĩra, na nĩ niĩ ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, na nĩ niĩ muoyo. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkinyaga kũrĩ Baba atagereire harĩ niĩ.
Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.
7 Korwo nĩmũũmenyete kũna, no mũmenye Baba o nake. Kuuma rĩu, nĩmũmũĩ na nĩ mũmuonete!”
If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.
8 Filipu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tuonie Baba na ithuĩ nĩtũkũiganĩra.”
Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.
9 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Filipu, ndũrĩ wamenya o na thuutha wa gũkorwo na inyuĩ ihinda iraihu ũguo? Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũnyonete nĩonete Baba. Ũngĩkiuga atĩa atĩ, ‘Tuonie Baba’?
Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?
10 Kaĩ ũtetĩkĩtie atĩ niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba, na atĩ Baba arĩ thĩinĩ wakwa? Ciugo iria ndĩmwĩraga ti ciakwa niĩ mwene; no Baba ũrĩa ũtũũraga thĩinĩ wakwa, nĩwe ũraruta wĩra wake.
Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.
11 Njĩtĩkiai rĩrĩa nguuga atĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba, nake Baba arĩ thĩinĩ wakwa; kana mũgĩĩtĩkie nĩ ũndũ wa ũira wa ciama iria ningaga.
Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.
12 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũnjĩtĩkĩtie, nĩarĩĩkaga maũndũ marĩa njĩkaga. Na nĩageeka o na maũndũ manene kũrĩ macio, tondũ ndĩrathiĩ kũrĩ Baba.
Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 Na ũrĩa wothe mũkahooya, nĩngawĩka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩgeetha Mũriũ arehere Baba riiri.
And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.
14 Mwahooya ũndũ o wothe thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩndĩrĩwĩkaga.
If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.
15 “Angĩkorwo nĩmũnyendete, nĩmũrĩathĩkagĩra ũrĩa ndĩmwathĩte.
If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.
16 Na niĩ nĩngahooya Baba, nake nĩakamũhe Mũteithia ũngĩ aikarage na inyuĩ nginya tene, (aiōn )
And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever, (aiōn )
17 nake nĩwe Roho ũrĩa wa ma. Nao andũ a gũkũ thĩ matingĩmwĩtĩkĩra tondũ matimuonaga na matimũũĩ. No inyuĩ nĩmũmũĩ nĩgũkorwo atũũranagia na inyuĩ, na aikaraga thĩinĩ wanyu.
Even the Spirit of true knowledge. That Spirit the world is not able to take to its heart because it sees him not and has no knowledge of him: but you have knowledge of him, because he is ever with you and will be in you.
18 Ndikũmũtiga ta ciana cia ngoriai, nĩngũũka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.
19 Thuutha wa ihinda inyinyi, thĩ ndĩgũcooka kũnyona, no inyuĩ nĩmũrĩnyonaga. Tondũ nĩndũũraga muoyo, o na inyuĩ nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo.
A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.
20 Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba, na inyuĩ mũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa, na niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.
At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.
21 Ũrĩa wothe ũiguaga maathani makwa na akamaathĩkĩra, ũcio nĩwe ũnyendete. Nake ũcio ũnyendete nĩarĩendagwo nĩ Baba, o na niĩ nĩndĩmwendaga na ndĩĩonithanagie kũrĩ we.”
He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.
22 Nake Judasi (no ti Isikariota) akiuga atĩrĩ, “No rĩrĩ Mwathani, nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wĩonithanie kũrĩ ithuĩ na ti kũrĩ andũ a gũkũ thĩ?”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?
23 Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũnyendete nĩarĩathĩkagĩra ũrutani wakwa. Baba nake nĩarĩmwendaga, na nĩtũrĩũkaga kũrĩ we tũtũũranagie nake.
Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.
24 Ũrĩa ũtanyendete ndathĩkagĩra ũrutani wakwa. Ciugo icio mũiguaga ti ciakwa niĩ mwene; nĩ cia Baba ũrĩa wandũmire.
He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.
25 “Maũndũ maya mothe ndamwarĩria tũrĩ o na inyuĩ.
I have said all this to you while I am still with you.
26 No rĩrĩ, we Mũteithia, na nĩwe Roho Mũtheru, ũrĩa Baba agaatũma thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩakamũruta maũndũ mothe na amũririkanie ũrĩa wothe ndĩmwĩrĩte.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.
27 Thayũ nĩguo ngũmũtigĩra; thayũ wakwa nĩguo ndaamũhe. Ndikũmũhe thayũ ta ũrĩa ũheanagwo nĩ andũ a gũkũ thĩ. Mũtigatangĩke ngoro kana mwĩtigĩre.
May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.
28 “Inyuĩ nĩmwaiguire ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũthiĩ na nĩngacooka njũke kũrĩ inyuĩ rĩngĩ.’ Angĩkorwo nĩmũnyendete-rĩ, no mũkene tondũ ndĩrathiĩ kũrĩ Baba, nĩgũkorwo Baba nĩ mũnene kũrĩ niĩ.
Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
29 Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio o rĩu matanekĩka nĩgeetha rĩrĩa magekĩka mũgeetĩkia.
And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.
30 Ndikũmwarĩria ũhoro ũyũ ihinda iraaya, nĩgũkorwo mũnene wa gũkũ thĩ nĩarooka. We ndarĩ na hinya wa kũnjatha,
After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;
31 no andũ a gũkũ thĩ no nginya mamenye atĩ nĩnyendete Baba, na atĩ njĩkaga o ũrĩa Baba anjathĩte. “Ũkai rĩu; nĩtũthiĩi.
But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.
