< Johana 14 >
1 “Mũtigatangĩke ngoro, mwĩhokei Ngai; o na niĩ mũnjĩhoke.
“Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.
2 Thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Baba kũrĩ na ciikaro nyingĩ; gũtangĩrĩ ũguo ingĩrĩ kũmwĩra. Nĩngũthiĩ kuo kũmũthondekera handũ.
In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare 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 prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.
4 Njĩra ya kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ inyuĩ nĩmũmĩũĩ.”
And you know where I am going. And you know the way.”
5 Nake Toma akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ithuĩ tũtiũĩ kũrĩa ũgũthiĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, njĩra tũngĩkĩmĩmenya atĩa?”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know 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 Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
7 Korwo nĩmũũmenyete kũna, no mũmenye Baba o nake. Kuuma rĩu, nĩmũmũĩ na nĩ mũmuonete!”
If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
8 Filipu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tuonie Baba na ithuĩ nĩtũkũiganĩra.”
Philip said to him, “Lord, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
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: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
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.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these 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.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
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.
Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
13 Na ũrĩa wothe mũkahooya, nĩngawĩka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩgeetha Mũriũ arehere Baba riiri.
And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Mwahooya ũndũ o wothe thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩndĩrĩwĩkaga.
If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.
15 “Angĩkorwo nĩmũnyendete, nĩmũrĩathĩkagĩra ũrĩa ndĩmwathĩte.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 Na niĩ nĩngahooya Baba, nake nĩakamũhe Mũteithia ũngĩ aikarage na inyuĩ nginya tene, (aiōn )
And I will ask the Father, and he will give another Advocate to you, so that he may abide with you for eternity: (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.
the Spirit of Truth, whom the world is not able to accept, because it neither perceives him nor knows him. But you shall know him. For he will remain with you, and he will be in you.
18 Ndikũmũtiga ta ciana cia ngoriai, nĩngũũka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
I will not leave you orphans. I will return to you.
19 Thuutha wa ihinda inyinyi, thĩ ndĩgũcooka kũnyona, no inyuĩ nĩmũrĩnyonaga. Tondũ nĩndũũraga muoyo, o na inyuĩ nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo.
Yet a little while and the world will not see me any longer. But you will see me. For I live, and you shall live.
20 Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba, na inyuĩ mũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa, na niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.
In that day, you shall know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am 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.”
Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them: it is he who loves me. And whoever loves me shall be loved by my Father. And I will love him, and I will manifest myself to 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 the Iscariot, said to him: “Lord, how does it happen that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũnyendete nĩarĩathĩkagĩra ũrutani wakwa. Baba nake nĩarĩmwendaga, na nĩtũrĩũkaga kũrĩ we tũtũũranagie nake.
Jesus responded and said to him: “If anyone loves me, he shall keep my word. And my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our dwelling place with him.
24 Ũrĩa ũtanyendete ndathĩkagĩra ũrutani wakwa. Ciugo icio mũiguaga ti ciakwa niĩ mwene; nĩ cia Baba ũrĩa wandũmire.
Whoever does not love me, does not keep not my words. And the word that you have heard is not of me, but it is of the Father who sent me.
25 “Maũndũ maya mothe ndamwarĩria tũrĩ o na inyuĩ.
These things I have spoken to you, while abiding 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 Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that 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.
Peace I leave for you; my Peace I give to you. Not in the way that the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and let it not 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.
You have heard that I said to you: I am going away, and I am returning to you. If you loved me, certainly you would be gladdened, 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 told you this, before it happens, so that, when it will happen, you may believe.
30 Ndikũmwarĩria ũhoro ũyũ ihinda iraaya, nĩgũkorwo mũnene wa gũkũ thĩ nĩarooka. We ndarĩ na hinya wa kũnjatha,
I will not now speak at length with you. For the prince of this world is coming, but he does not have anything in me.
31 no andũ a gũkũ thĩ no nginya mamenye atĩ nĩnyendete Baba, na atĩ njĩkaga o ũrĩa Baba anjathĩte. “Ũkai rĩu; nĩtũthiĩi.
Yet this is so that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I am acting according to the commandment that the Father has given to me. Rise up, let us go from here.”
