Yoane 14
1 Yesu alobaki: — Tika ete mitema na bino etungisama te! Bondima Nzambe mpe bondima Ngai.
Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.
2 Kati na ndako ya Tata na Ngai, bisika ezali mingi. Soki ezalaki bongo te, boni, nalingaki koyebisa bino ete nakeyi kuna mpo na kobongisela bino esika?
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 Mpe, sima na Ngai kobongisa yango, nakozonga mpe nakozwa bino mpo ete bozala elongo na Ngai; mpe mpo ete bino mpe bozala na esika oyo Ngai nazali.
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 Boyebi nzela ya esika oyo nazali kokende.
And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.
5 Toma alobaki na Yesu: — Te, Nkolo! Toyebi te esika oyo ozali kokende; bongo tokoyeba nzela na yango ndenge nini?
Thomas said, Lord, we have no knowledge of where you are going; how may we have knowledge of the way?
6 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Ngai, nazali nzela, solo mpe bomoi. Moto moko te akoki koya epai ya Tata, soki na nzela na Ngai te.
Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.
7 Soki boyebaki Ngai, bolingaki mpe koyeba Tata na Ngai; mpe kobanda sik’oyo, boyebi Ye mpe bomoni Ye.
If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.
8 Filipo alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, lakisa biso Tata; tozali na posa ya eloko mosusu te.
Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.
9 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Ah Filipo! Kala nyonso oyo nazalaka elongo na bino, oyebaka na yo kaka Ngai te? Moto oyo amoni Ngai amoni Tata. Bongo ndenge nini olobi: « Lakisa biso Tata? »
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 Ondimi te ete nazali kati na Tata, mpe ete Tata azali kati na Ngai? Maloba oyo nayebisaka bino, nalobaka yango te na bokonzi na Ngai moko; ezali Tata oyo azali kati na Ngai nde azali kokokisa bongo misala na Ye.
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 Bondima Ngai: nazali kati na Tata, mpe Tata azali kati na Ngai. Soki te, bondima ata mpo na misala oyo bomoni Ngai kosala.
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 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo andimi Ngai akosala misala oyo nazali kosala; akosala kutu misala oyo eleki minene, pamba te nazali kokende epai ya Tata.
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 Mpe nakosala nyonso oyo bokosenga na Kombo na Ngai, mpo ete Tata azwa lokumu kati na Mwana.
And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.
14 Soki bosengi Ngai eloko na Kombo na Ngai, nakosala yango.
If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.
15 Soki bolingaka Ngai, bokobatela mibeko na Ngai.
If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.
16 Mpe Ngai, nakosenga epai ya Tata ete apesa bino Molobeli mosusu mpo ete azala elongo na bino tango nyonso, (aiōn g165)
And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever, (aiōn g165)
17 Molimo ya solo, Molimo oyo mokili ekoki koyamba te mpo ete ezali komona Ye te to eyebi Ye te. Kasi bino, boyebi Ye, pamba te azali elongo na bino mpe azali kati na bino.
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 Nakotika bino te lokola bana bitike; nakozongela bino.
I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.
19 Etikali kaka tango moke, mokili ekomona Ngai lisusu te; kasi bino, bokomona Ngai. Mpo ete nazali na bomoi, bino mpe bokozala na bomoi.
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 Tango mokolo yango ekokoma, bokososola ete nazali kati na Tata na ngai; bokososola lisusu ete bozali kati na Ngai, mpe Ngai nazali kati na bino.
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 Moto oyo alingaka Ngai, ezali ye oyo abatelaka mibeko na Ngai mpe atiaka yango na misala. Tata na Ngai akolinga moto oyo alingaka Ngai; Ngai mpe nakolinga ye mpe nakomimonisa epai na ye.
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 Yuda (Yuda Isikarioti te) atunaki Yesu: — Nkolo, mpo na nini komimonisa epai na biso, kasi epai ya mokili te?
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 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Moto oyo alingaka Ngai akobatela maloba na Ngai, mpe Tata na Ngai akolinga ye; bongo tokoya epai na ye mpe tokovanda elongo na ye.
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 Kasi moto oyo alingaka Ngai te, akobatela mpe maloba na Ngai te. Nzokande, Liloba oyo bozali koyoka ezali ya Ngai te, kasi ezali Liloba ya Tata oyo atindaki Ngai.
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 Nayebisi bino makambo oyo nyonso, wana nazali nanu elongo na bino.
I have said all this to you while I am still with you.
26 Kasi Molobeli, Molimo Mosantu oyo Tata akotinda na Kombo na Ngai, akoteya bino makambo nyonso mpe akosunga bino mpo ete bobosana te nyonso oyo nayebisaki bino.
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 Nakeyi, kasi natikeli bino kimia; napesi bino kimia na Ngai. Nazali kopesa bino te ndenge mokili epesaka. Tika ete mitema na bino etungisama te mpe bobanga te!
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 Boyoki Ngai koloba na bino ete nakeyi, mpe lisusu ete nakozongela bino. Soki bozalaki kolinga Ngai, bolingaki kosepela na kokende na Ngai epai ya Tata, pamba te Tata aleki Ngai na monene.
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 Nayebisi bino makambo yango sik’oyo, liboso ete esalema, mpo ete bokoka kondima, na mokolo oyo ekosalema.
And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.
30 Kobanda sik’oyo, nakoloba na bino lisusu mingi te, pamba te mokonzi ya mokili oyo azali koya. Ezali te mpo ete azali na nguya moko te likolo na Ngai,
After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;
31 kasi ezali mpo ete mokili eyeba ete nalingaka Tata, mpe ete nazali kosala kolanda ndenge atindaki Ngai. Botelema; tolongwa awa.
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.
