Johana 15
1 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ mũthabibũ ũrĩa wa ma nake Baba nĩwe mũrĩmĩri.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
2 Rũhonge o ruothe rũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa rũtaciaraga nĩarũtemaga akarweheria. Naruo rũhonge o ruothe rũrĩa rũciaraga nĩarũceehaga nĩguo rũciare maciaro maingĩ makĩria.
Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Inyuĩ o na rĩu mũrĩ atheru nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũrĩa ndĩmũheete.
Now all of you are clean through the word (logos) which I have spoken unto you.
4 Ikaragai thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ nĩndĩrĩikaraga thĩinĩ wanyu. Gũtirĩ rũhonge rũngĩciara maciaro rũrĩ rwiki; no nginya rũikare thĩinĩ wa mũthabibũ. O na inyuĩ mũtingĩciara maciaro mũtangĩikara thĩinĩ wakwa.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can all of you, except all of you abide in me.
5 “Nĩ niĩ mũthabibũ, na inyuĩ mũrĩ honge. Mũndũ angĩikara thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ njikare thĩinĩ wake, nĩarĩciaraga maciaro maingĩ; tondũ mũtarĩ hamwe na niĩ mũtirĩ ũndũ mũngĩhota gwĩka.
I am the vine, all of you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me all of you can do nothing.
6 Mũndũ o wothe angĩaga gũikara thĩinĩ wakwa-rĩ, atariĩ o ta rũhonge rũrĩa rũteagwo rũkooma; honge icio nĩkũnganio ciũnganagio, igaikio mwaki-inĩ ikahĩa.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 Mũngĩikara thĩinĩ wakwa, nacio ciugo ciakwa ciikare thĩinĩ wanyu, hooyai o kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩenda, na nĩmũkũheo kĩo.
If all of you abide in me, and my words (rhema) abide in you, all of you shall ask what all of you will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Ũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩgoocithia Baba nĩ atĩ, mũciarage maciaro maingĩ nĩguo mwĩonanie mũrĩ arutwo akwa.
Herein is my Father glorified, that all of you bear much fruit; so shall all of you be my disciples.
9 “O ta ũrĩa Baba anyendete, ũguo noguo na niĩ ndĩmwendete. Rĩu-rĩ, ikaragai o wendo-inĩ wakwa.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue all of you in my love. (agape)
10 Mũngĩathĩkĩra maathani makwa-rĩ, nĩmũrĩikaraga wendo-inĩ wakwa o ta ũrĩa niĩ njathĩkĩire maathani ma Baba na ngaikara wendo-inĩ wake.
If all of you keep my commandments, all of you shall abide in my love; (agape) even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (agape)
11 Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio nĩguo gĩkeno gĩakwa kĩgĩe thĩinĩ wanyu, nakĩo gĩkeno kĩanyu gĩkinyanĩre.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 Rĩathani rĩakwa nĩ rĩĩrĩ: Endanagai inyuĩ ene, o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndĩmwendete.
This is my commandment, That all of you love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ wendo mũnene kũrĩ ũyũ, atĩ mũndũ no arute muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wa arata ake.
Greater love (agape) has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Inyuĩ mũrĩ arata akwa, mũngĩĩka ũrĩa ndĩmwathĩte.
All of you are my friends, if all of you do whatsoever I command you.
15 Ndigũcooka kũmwĩta ndungata, tondũ ndungata ndĩmenyaga ũrĩa mũmĩathi areeka; no inyuĩ ndĩmwĩtĩte arata nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩĩrutĩte kuuma kũrĩ Baba nĩndĩmũmenyithĩtie.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ti inyuĩ mwathuurire, no nĩ niĩ ndamũthuurire, na ngĩmwamũra mũthiĩ mũgaciare maciaro, namo maciaro macio matũũre. Nake Baba nĩakamũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe mũkahooya thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
All of you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that all of you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever all of you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩathani rĩakwa: Endanagai.
These things I command you, that all of you love one another.
18 “Andũ a thĩ mangĩmũthũũra, menyai atĩ nĩ niĩ maambire gũthũũra.
If the world hate you, all of you know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 Korwo mũrĩ a gũkũ thĩ, andũ a thĩ no mamwende ta mũrĩ ao. No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtirĩ a gũkũ thĩ, no nĩndĩmũthuurĩte kuuma kũrĩ andũ a thĩ. Nĩkĩo andũ a thĩ mamũthũire.
If all of you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because all of you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Ririkanai ũhoro ũrĩa ndamwĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Gũtirĩ ndungata nene gũkĩra mũmĩathi.’ Angĩkorwo niĩ nĩmanyariirire, o na inyuĩ nĩmakamũnyarira. Angĩkorwo nĩmathĩkĩire ũrutani wakwa o na wanyu nĩmakawathĩkĩra.
Remember the word (logos) that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, (logos) they will keep your also.
21 Nao makaamwĩka ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩgũkorwo matiũĩ ũrĩa wandũmire.
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 “Korwo ndiokire ngĩmahe ũhoro, matingĩamenyire nĩ ehia. No rĩu matirĩ na kĩĩgwatio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao.
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũũthũũrĩte, nĩathũũire Baba o nake.
He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 Korwo ndiĩkĩte gatagatĩ-inĩ kao maũndũ marĩa matarĩ mekwo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ matingĩamenyire nĩ ehia. No rĩu nĩmonete ciama ici, no no maathũire na magathũũra Baba.
If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 No nĩgeetha kũhingio ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wao atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩmathũũrire hatarĩ gĩtũmi.’
But this comes to pass, that the word (logos) might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũteithia agooka, ũrĩa ngaamũtũmĩra kuuma kũrĩ Baba, na nĩwe Roho wa ma ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Baba, we nĩakaheana ũira wakwa.
But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit (pneuma) of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 Na o na inyuĩ no nginya mũkaaruta ũira, tondũ mũtũũrĩte na niĩ kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria.
And all of you also shall bear witness, because all of you have been with me from the beginning.
