< Johana 14 >

1 “Mũtigatangĩke ngoro, mwĩhokei Ngai; o na niĩ mũnjĩhoke.
“Don't let your minds be anxious. Trust in God, trust in me as well.
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 rooms. If this wasn't so I would have told you. I'm going to prepare a place for you.
3 Na ndathiĩ na ndamũthondekera handũ-rĩ, nĩngacooka ndĩmũgĩĩre nĩgeetha o na inyuĩ mũkoragwo harĩa ndĩ.
Once I've gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you back with me, so that you can be there with me too.
4 Njĩra ya kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ inyuĩ nĩmũmĩũĩ.”
You know the way to where I'm going.”
5 Nake Toma akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ithuĩ tũtiũĩ kũrĩa ũgũthiĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, njĩra tũngĩkĩmĩmenya atĩa?”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you're going. 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 replied, “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, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and you have seen him.”
8 Filipu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tuonie Baba na ithuĩ nĩtũkũiganĩra.”
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we'll be convinced.”
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 replied, “Have I been with you such a long time, Philip, and yet you still don't know me? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. 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 live in the Father and the Father lives in me? The words I speak are not mine; it's the Father living in me who is doing his work.
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 when I tell you that I live in the Father, and the Father lives in me, or at least believe because of the evidence provided by all that I've done.
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.
I tell you the truth, anyone who trusts in me will do the same things I am doing. In fact they will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.
13 Na ũrĩa wothe mũkahooya, nĩngawĩka thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩgeetha Mũriũ arehere Baba riiri.
I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son.
14 Mwahooya ũndũ o wothe thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩndĩrĩwĩkaga.
Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it.
15 “Angĩkorwo nĩmũnyendete, nĩmũrĩathĩkagĩra ũrĩa ndĩmwathĩte.
If you love me, you will keep my commands.
16 Na niĩ nĩngahooya Baba, nake nĩakamũhe Mũteithia ũngĩ aikarage na inyuĩ nginya tene, (aiōn g165)
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, (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 truth, who will always be with you. The world cannot accept him because it isn't looking for him and does not know him. But you know him because he lives with you and will be in you.
18 Ndikũmũtiga ta ciana cia ngoriai, nĩngũũka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
19 Thuutha wa ihinda inyinyi, thĩ ndĩgũcooka kũnyona, no inyuĩ nĩmũrĩnyonaga. Tondũ nĩndũũraga muoyo, o na inyuĩ nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo.
Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
20 Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Baba, na inyuĩ mũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa, na niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wanyu.
On that day you will know that I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live 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.”
Those who keep my commands are the ones who love me, those who love me will be loved by my Father. I will love them too, and will reveal myself to them.”
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) responded, “Lord, why would you 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 replied, “Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them.
24 Ũrĩa ũtanyendete ndathĩkagĩra ũrutani wakwa. Ciugo icio mũiguaga ti ciakwa niĩ mwene; nĩ cia Baba ũrĩa wandũmire.
Those who don't love me don't do what I say. These words don't come from me, they come from the Father who sent me.
25 “Maũndũ maya mothe ndamwarĩria tũrĩ o na inyuĩ.
I'm explaining this to you while I'm still here 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 when the Father sends the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, in my place, he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told 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 you; my peace I'm giving you. The peace I give you is nothing like what the world gives. Don't let your minds be anxious, and don't be afraid.
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've heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, but I will come back to you.’ If you really loved me, you would be happy because I'm going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio o rĩu matanekĩka nĩgeetha rĩrĩa magekĩka mũgeetĩkia.
I've explained this to you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will be convinced.
30 Ndikũmwarĩria ũhoro ũyũ ihinda iraaya, nĩgũkorwo mũnene wa gũkũ thĩ nĩarooka. We ndarĩ na hinya wa kũnjatha,
I can't talk to you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no power to control me,
31 no andũ a gũkũ thĩ no nginya mamenye atĩ nĩnyendete Baba, na atĩ njĩkaga o ũrĩa Baba anjathĩte. “Ũkai rĩu; nĩtũthiĩi.
but I'm doing what my Father told me to do so that the world will know that I love the Father. Now get up. Let's go.”
