< Johana 14 >

1 “Mũtigatangĩke ngoro, mwĩhokei Ngai; o na niĩ mũnjĩhoke.
“Do not let your (pl) heart be distressed; you believe into God and you believe into 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 many dwellings (otherwise I would have told you). I am going away 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 come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.
4 Njĩra ya kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ inyuĩ nĩmũmĩũĩ.”
Now 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 says to Him, “Lord, we don't 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 says to him: “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes 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, you would have known my Father as well; from now on you both know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Filipu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tuonie Baba na ithuĩ nĩtũkũiganĩra.”
Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, 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 says to him: “Such a long time I have been with you, and you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us 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.
Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own; rather it is the Father who dwells in me who does the 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.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or else, believe me because of the works themselves.
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.
“Most assuredly I say to you, the one believing into me, he too will do the works that I do; in fact he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 Na ũrĩa wothe mũkahooya, nĩngawĩka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩgeetha Mũriũ arehere Baba riiri.
Further, whatever you (pl) may ask 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 ask anything in my name, I will do it!
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 g165)
Also, I will ask the Father and He will give you another Enabler, so that He may stay with you throughout the age (aiōn g165)
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 the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you do know Him, because He is staying with you and will be in you.
18 Ndikũmũtiga ta ciana cia ngoriai, nĩngũũka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you [shortly].
19 Thuutha wa ihinda inyinyi, thĩ ndĩgũcooka kũnyona, no inyuĩ nĩmũrĩnyonaga. Tondũ nĩndũũraga muoyo, o na inyuĩ nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo.
In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live you also will 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 will know that I am in my Father, and you 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.”
The one who has my commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves me. Now the one who loves me will be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and reveal 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) says to Him, “Lord, just how is it that You are going to reveal 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 answered and said to him: “If anyone loves me he will keep my word. So my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Ũrĩa ũtanyendete ndathĩkagĩra ũrutani wakwa. Ciugo icio mũiguaga ti ciakwa niĩ mwene; nĩ cia Baba ũrĩa wandũmire.
The one who does not love me does not keep my words; further, the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
25 “Maũndũ maya mothe ndamwarĩria tũrĩ o na inyuĩ.
“I have spoken these things to you while being 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 Enabler, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and remind you of everything I 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 with you, my peace I give to you; it is not like the world gives that I give to you. Do not let your heart be distressed or intimidated.
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 heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ because my Father is greater than I.
29 Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio o rĩu matanekĩka nĩgeetha rĩrĩa magekĩka mũgeetĩkia.
I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 Ndikũmwarĩria ũhoro ũyũ ihinda iraaya, nĩgũkorwo mũnene wa gũkũ thĩ nĩarooka. We ndarĩ na hinya wa kũnjatha,
“I will no longer talk much with you, because the ruler of the world is approaching; actually, he has nothing in me.
31 no andũ a gũkũ thĩ no nginya mamenye atĩ nĩnyendete Baba, na atĩ njĩkaga o ũrĩa Baba anjathĩte. “Ũkai rĩu; nĩtũthiĩi.
Rather, I habitually do just as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. “Get up, let us leave here.
