Yokaana 15
1 “Nze muzabbibu ogw’amazima, ate Kitange ye mulimi.
I myself am the vine true, and the Father of Mine the vinedresser is.
2 Buli ttabi eriri ku Nze eritabala bibala aliggyako. Naye buli ttabi eribala ebibala, alirongoosa lyeyongerenga okubala.
Every branch in Me myself not bearing fruit He takes away it, and every one fruit bearing He prunes it that fruit more it may bear.
3 Mmwe kaakano muli balongoofu olw’ekigambo kye mbagambye;
Already you yourselves clean are because of the word that I have spoken to you.
4 mubeere mu Nze era nange mbeere mu mmwe. Ng’ettabi bwe litayinza kubala bibala ku bwalyo nga teriri ku muzabbibu, bwe mutyo nammwe temuyinza kubala bibala bwe mutabeera mu Nze.
do abide in Me myself and I myself and I myself in you. Even as the branch not is able fruit to bear of itself only unless (it shall abide *N(k)O*) in the vine, so neither [are able] you only unless in Me myself (you shall abide. *N(k)O*)
5 “Nze muzabbibu, mmwe matabi. Buli abeera mu Nze nange ne mbeera mu ye oyo abala ebibala bingi. Kubanga awatali Nze temuliiko kye muyinza kukola.
I myself am the vine, you [are] the branches. The [one] abiding in Me myself and I myself and I myself in him, he bears fruit much; For apart from Me not you are able to do no [thing].
6 Omuntu bw’atabeera mu nze asuulibwa ebweru ng’ettabi erikaze. Amatabi ng’ago bagakuŋŋaanya ne bagasuula ku muliro ne gaggya.
Only unless someone (shall abide *N(k)O*) in Me myself, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up, and they gather them and into the fire cast, and it is burned.
7 Naye bwe munywerera mu Nze ne munyweza ebigambo byange, buli kye munaasabanga kinaabakolerwanga.
If you shall abide in Me myself and the declarations of Mine in you shall abide, whatever if you shall wish (do yourself ask *N(k)O*) and it will happen to you.
8 Bwe mubala ebibala ebingi, muba bayigirizwa bange, ne Kitange, agulumizibwa.
In this is glorified the Father of Mine, that fruit much you may bear and (you may become *N(k)O*) to Me disciples.
9 “Mbaagadde nga Kitange bw’anjagala. Noolwekyo munywererenga mu kwagala kwange.
even as has loved Me the Father, I myself also I myself also you loved; do abide in the love of Mine.
10 Bwe munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange olwo munaabanga munyweredde mu kwagala kwange, nga nange bwe ŋŋondera ebiragiro bya Kitange ne mbeera mu kwagala kwe.
If the commandments of Mine you shall keep, you will abide in the love of Mine; even as I myself the commandments of the Father of Mine have kept, and I abide of Him in the love.
11 Mbategeezezza ebyo mulyoke mujjule essanyu lyange. Era essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire.
These things I have spoken to you that joy of Mine in you (may be *N(K)O*) and the joy of you may be full.
12 Kye mbalagira kye kino nti mwagalanenga nga Nze bwe mbaagala.
This is commandment of Mine that you may love one another even as I loved you.
13 Tewali kwagala kusinga okw’omuntu awaayo obulamu bwe olwa mikwano gye.
Greater than this love no [one] has that one the life of him may lay down for the friends of him.
14 Muba mikwano gyange bwe mukola bye mbalagira.
You yourselves friends of Mine are if you shall do (what things *n(o)*) (as much as *K*) I myself command you.
15 Olwo nga sikyabayita baddu, kubanga omuddu tamanya bifa ku mukama we. Kaakano mmwe muli mikwano gyange, kubanga mbategeezezza byonna Kitange bye yaŋŋamba.
no longer no longer I name you servants, for the servant not knows what is doing his master; You however I have called friends, because all things that I heard from the Father of Mine I have made known to you.
16 Si mmwe mwannonda! Wabula Nze nabalonda, mulyoke mubale ebibala ate ebibala eby’olubeerera. Olwo buli kye munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange anaakibawanga.
Not you yourselves Me chose, but I myself chose you and appointed you that you yourselves may go and fruit you may bear, and the fruit of you may remain; so that (which one *NK(o)*) maybe you may ask the Father in the name of Me, He may give you.
17 Kye mbalagira kye kino nti mwagalanenga.
These things I command you that you may love one another.
18 “Ensi bw’ebakyawanga mumanye nti yasooka kukyawa nze.
If the world you hates, you know that Me myself before you it has hated.
19 Singa mubadde ba nsi, yandibaagadde, naye temuli ba nsi, kubanga nabalonda muve mu nsi, kyeva ebakyawa.
If of the world you were, the world then would [as its] own was loving [you]; because however of the world not you are, but I myself chose you out of the world, on account of this hates you the world.
20 Mujjukire kye nabagamba nti, ‘Omuddu tasinga mukama we.’ Kale obanga Nze banjigganya era nammwe bagenda kubayigganyanga. Era obanga baagondera ebigambo byange n’ebyammwe balibigondera.
do remember the word that I myself said to you: Not is a servant greater than the master of him. If Me myself they persecuted also you they will persecute; if the word of Mine they kept also yours they will keep.
21 Ebyo byonna balibibakola ku lw’erinnya lyange, kubanga eyantuma tebamumanyi.
But these things all they will do (against *no*) (you *N(k)O*) on account of the name of Me, because not they know the [One] having sent Me.
22 Singa sajja ne njogera nabo tebandibadde na musango. Naye kaakano tebalina kya kwewolereza olw’ekibi kyabwe.
only unless I come and I said to them, sin not they had; now however excuse not they have for the sin of them.
23 Buli ankyawa aba akyawa ne Kitange.
The [one] Me myself hating also the Father of Mine hates.
24 Singa saakola mirimu egitaakolebwa muntu yenna mu bo tebandibaddeko musango. Naye kaakano balabye emirimu egyo, n’okutukyawa ne batukyawa, Nze ne Kitange.
If the works not I had done among them that no other (did, *N(k)O*) sin not they had; now however both they have seen and have hated both Me myself and the Father of Mine;
25 Ekyawandiikibwa ne kiryoka kituukirira ekigamba nti, ‘Bankyayira bwereere.’
But [this is] that may be fulfilled the word in the law of them written that They hated Me without cause.’
26 “Kyokka mmwe ndibatumira Omubeezi okuva eri Kitange, Omwoyo ow’amazima ava eri Kitange era alibategeeza buli ekinfaako.
When (now *ko*) may come the Helper whom I myself will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who from the Father goes forth, He will bear witness concerning Me;
27 Era nammwe mulinjulira, kubanga mubadde nange okuva ku lubereberye.”
Also you yourselves now bear witness, because from [the] beginning with Me you are.
