UJohane 14
1 Inhliziyo yenu kayingakhathazeki; liyakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kholwani lakimi.
“Omutima gwammwe tegweraliikiriranga. Mukkiriza Katonda, era nange munzikirize.
2 Ekhaya likaBaba kukhona izindlu ezinengi; kodwa uba kwakungenjalo, ngabe ngalitshela. Ngiyahamba ukuyalilungisela indawo.
Mu nnyumba ya Kitange mulimu ebisenge bingi, era ŋŋenda okubateekerateekera ekifo. Singa tekiri bwe kityo nandibagambye.
3 Njalo nxa ngihamba ngisiyalilungisela indawo, ngizabuya futhi ngilemukele kimi; ukuze kuthi lapho mina engikhona, libe khona lani.
Bwe ndimala okubateekerateekera ekifo ndikomawo, ne mbatwala gye ndi, Nze gye ndi nammwe gye muba mubeera.
4 Lalapho mina engiya khona liyakwazi, lendlela liyayazi.
Era gye ŋŋenda ekkubo mulimanyi.”
5 UTomasi wathi kuye: Nkosi, kasikwazi lapho oya khona; pho, singayazi njani indlela?
Tomasi n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tetumanyi gy’olaga, kale tuyinza tutya okumanya ekkubo?”
6 UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyindlela, leqiniso, lempilo; kakho oza kuBaba, kodwa ngami.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Nze kkubo, n’amazima n’obulamu. Tewali n’omu ajja eri Kitange wabula ng’ayita mu Nze.
7 Uba belingazile, belizamazi loBaba; njalo kusukela khathesi liyamazi, selimbonile.
Singa muntegedde ne Kitange mwandimutegedde. Era okuva kaakano mumulabye era mumutegedde.”
8 UFiliphu wathi kuye: Nkosi, sitshengise uYihlo, njalo kusanele.
Firipo n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tulage Kitaffe, kinaatumala.”
9 UJesu wathi kuye: Sengilani isikhathi eside kangaka, kawukangazi, Filiphu? Yena obone mina, ubone uBaba; njalo utsho njani ukuthi: Sitshengise uYihlo?
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Firipo, kasookedde mbeera nammwe ebbanga lino lyonna era tontegeeranga? Buli alaba Nze aba alabye Kitange! Kale lwaki ate oyogera nti, ‘Tulage Kitaffe?’
10 Kawukholwa yini ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, loBaba ukimi? Amazwi mina engiwakhuluma kini, kangizikhulumeli ngokwami; kodwa uBaba ohlezi kimi, yena wenza imisebenzi.
Tokkiriza nga Nze ndi mu Kitange era ne Kitange ali mu Nze? Ebigambo bye mbategeeza si byange ku bwange, wabula biva eri Kitange abeera mu Nze, era akola emirimu ng’ayita mu Nze.
11 Ngikholwani ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, loBaba ukimi; njalo uba kungenjalo, ngikholwani ngenxa yemisebenzi ngokwayo.
Kale munzikirize nti ndi mu Kitange era nga ne Kitange ali mu Nze. Oba si ekyo munzikirize olw’emirimu gyokka.
12 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Okholwa kimi, imisebenzi engiyenzayo uzayenza laye, lemikhulu kulale uzayenza; ngoba mina ngiya kuBaba.
“Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli anzikiriza alikola emirimu egyo gye nkola, era alikola egisinga egyo, kubanga Nze ŋŋenda eri Kitange.
13 Njalo loba yini eliyicelayo ngebizo lami, le ngizayenza, ukuze uYise adunyiswe eNdodaneni.
Era buli kye munaasabanga mu linnya Lyange nnaakibakoleranga, Kitange alyoke agulumizibwe mu Mwana.
14 Uba licela loba yini ebizweni lami, mina ngizayenza.
Bwe munaasabanga ekintu kyonna mu linnya lyange nnaakikolanga.”
15 Uba lingithanda, londolozani imilayo yami.
“Kale obanga munjagala mugonderenga ebiragiro byange,
nange ndisaba Kitange n’abawa Omubeezi omulala anaabeeranga nammwe emirembe n’emirembe, (aiōn g165)
17 uMoya weqiniso, ongememukele umhlaba, ngoba ungamboni, ungamazi. Kodwa lina liyamazi, ngoba uhlala lani, njalo uzakuba kini.
Mwoyo ow’Amazima ensi gwe teyinza kufuna, kubanga temulaba era temumanyi. Naye mmwe mumumanyi kubanga abeera nammwe, era anaabeeranga mu mmwe.
18 Kangiyikulitshiya lizintandane; ngizakuza kini.
Siribaleka nga bamulekwa, ndikomawo gye muli.
19 Kube kanti okwesikhatshana, lomhlaba kawusayikungibona, kodwa lina lizangibona; ngoba mina ngiyaphila, lani lizaphila.
Mu bbanga ttono, ensi eneeba tekyandaba, naye mmwe nga mundaba. Kubanga Nze ndi mulamu, era nammwe muliba balamu.
20 Ngalolosuku lina lizakwazi ukuthi mina ngikuBaba, lani likimi, lami ngikini.
Ku lunaku olwo mulitegeera nga Nze ndi mu Kitange, era nga muli mu Nze, nga nange ndi mu mmwe.
21 Olemilayo yami ayilondoloze, nguye ongithandayo; njalo yena ongithandayo, uzathandwa nguBaba; lami ngizamthanda, ngizazibonakalisa kuye.
Buli anjagala anaagonderanga ebiragiro byange; era kubanga anjagala, ne Kitange anaamwagalanga. Era nange nnaamwagalanga, era nnaamulabikiranga.”
22 UJudasi, ongesuye uIskariyothi, wathi kuye: Nkosi, kungani uzazibonakalisa kithi, kodwa kungeyisikho kumhlaba?
Yuda, atali Isukalyoti n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, lwaki oyagala okweraga eri ffe so si eri ensi?”
23 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Uba umuntu engithanda, uzalondoloza ilizwi lami, loBaba uzamthanda, njalo sizakuza kuye, sihlale laye.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Omuntu yenna anjagala anaagonderanga ekigambo kyange, ne Kitange anaamwagalanga, era Nze ne Kitange tunajjanga ne tubeera mu ye era tunaatuulanga mu ye.
24 Yena ongangithandiyo, kawalondolozi amazwi ami; lelizwi elilizwayo kayisilo elami, kodwa ngelikaBaba ongithumileyo.
Oyo atanjagala tagondera bigambo byange. Ate ebigambo bye njogera si byange ku bwange wabula bya Kitange eyantuma.
25 Lezizinto ngizikhulumile kini ngihlezi lani.
Ebyo mbibabuulidde nga nkyali nammwe.
26 Kodwa uMduduzi, uMoya oyiNgcwele, uBaba azamthuma ebizweni lami, yena uzalifundisa zonke izinto, njalo alikhumbuze konke engakutshoyo kini.
Naye Omubeezi, Mwoyo Mutukuvu, Kitange gw’alituma mu linnya lyange, bw’alijja alibayigiriza ebintu byonna era alibajjukiza byonna bye nabagamba.
27 Ukuthula ngikutshiya kini, ukuthula kwami ngilinika khona; kungeyisikho njengoba umhlaba unika, mina ngiyalinika. Inhliziyo yenu kayingakhathazwa, ingesabi.
Mbalekera emirembe, era mbawa emirembe gyange. Emirembe gye mbawa tegiringa egy’ensi. Noolwekyo temutyanga era temweraliikiriranga.
28 Lizwile ukuthi mina ngithe kini: Ngiyahamba njalo ngizabuya kini. Uba belingithanda, belizathokoza, ngoba ngithe: Ngiya kuBaba; ngoba uBaba mkhulu kulami.
“Mujjukire kye n’abagamba nti ŋŋenda era ndikomawo gye muli. Singa ddala mubadde munjagala mwandisanyuse kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange, kubanga Kitange y’ansinga ekitiibwa.
29 Njalo khathesi ngilitshelile kungakenzeki; ukuze, lapho sekusenzeka, likholwe.
Kaakano mbabuulidde ebintu bino nga tebinnabaawo, bwe birituukirira mulyoke munzikirize.
30 Kangisayikukhuluma okunengi lani; ngoba umbusi walumhlaba uyeza, kodwa kalalutho kimi;
Sikyayogera bintu bingi nammwe, kubanga omufuzi omubi ow’ensi eno ajja. Naye Nze tanninaako buyinza.
31 kodwa ukuze umhlaba wazi ukuthi ngiyamthanda uBaba, lokuthi njengoba uBaba engilayile, ngenze njalo. Sukumani, sisuke lapha.
Kyokka ensi eryoke emanye nti njagala Kitange, nzija kukola Kitange ky’andagidde. “Musituke tuve wano.”
