< UJohane 15 >
1 Mina ngilivini eliqotho, njalo uBaba ungumlimi.
“Uneji ndili chitela chisyenesyene cha msabibu, ni Atati ŵangu ali jwakulima.
2 Lonke ugatsha olukimi olungatheliyo isithelo, uyalususa; lalo lonke oluthela isithelo, uyaluthena, ukuze lwengeze ukuthela.
Lujambi lwaluli lose lwaluli mwangu une lwangalukusogola akulutyosya ni lujambi lwaluli lose lwalukusogola akulupogolela kuti lupunde kusogola.
3 Selihlambululekile lina ngelizwi engilikhulume kini.
Ŵanyamwe mmasile kuŵa ŵasalele kwa ligongo lya majiganyo gangu ginansalile.
4 Hlalani kimi, lami kini. Njengalokhu ugatsha lungethele isithelo ngokwalo, uba lungahlali evinini, ngokunjalo lani lingeke, uba lingahlali kimi.
Ntame nkati mwangu, ni uneji chindame nkati mwenu. Mpela ila lujambi ngalukombola kusogola isogosi iŵaga nganilusigala pa msabibu usyene, iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe iŵaga ngankutama munkati mwangu chinnepele kusogola isogosi.
5 Mina ngilivini, lina lizingatsha. Lowo ohlala kimi, lami kuye, yena uyathela isithelo sande; ngoba ngaphandle kwami lingenze lutho.
“Uneji ndili mpela chitela cha msabibu ni ŵanyamwe ndi nyambi. Jwakutama mwa uneji, ni uneji mwa jwelejo, jwelejo chasogole isogosi yejinji, pakuŵa ŵanyamwe jikape ngankukombola kupanganya chachili chose.
6 Uba umuntu engahlali kimi, ulahlelwa phandle njengogatsha, abe esebuna, bazibuthe baziphose emlilweni, zitshiswe.
Mundu jwalijose iŵaga ngakutama mwa uneji akulandana ni lujambi lwalujasikwe kwakutalichila ni kuumula. Syele nyambi sikukumbikwa ni kutinisya pa mooto ni kutinika.
7 Uba lihlala kimi, lamazwi ami ehlala kini, lizacela elikuthandayo, lizakwenzelwa.
Mwatamaga mwa uneji ni maloŵe gangu gatamaga nkati mwenu, mmende chachili chose chinkuchisaka ni ŵanyamwe chimpegwe.
8 UBaba uyadunyiswa ngalokhu, ukuthi lithele isithelo sande; njalo lizakuba ngabafundi bami.
Mwasogolaga isogosi yejinji, Atati ŵangu chakuswe ni ŵanyamwe chimme ŵakulijiganya ŵangu.
9 Njengalokhu uBaba engithandile, lami ngilithandile; hlalani ethandweni lwami.
Uneji nannonyele ŵanyamwe mpela ila Atati ŵangu iŵanonyele une. Ntameje mu unonyelo wangu.
10 Uba lilondoloza imilayo yami, lizahlala ethandweni lwami; njengalokhu mina ngilondoloze imilayo kaBaba, njalo ngihlala ethandweni lwakhe.
Mwagakamulichisyaga malajisyo gangu chintame mu unonyelo wangu, mpela ila indite pakugakamulichisya malajisyo ga Atati ŵangu ni kutama mu unonyelo wao.
11 Lezizinto ngizikhulume kini, ukuze intokozo yami ihlale kini, njalo intokozo yenu igcwale.
“Nansalile yelei yose kuti usangalale wangu utame nkati mwenu, ni usangalale wenu upunde.
12 Lo ngumlayo wami, ukuthi lithandane, njengalokhu ngilithandile.
Alili lili lilajisyo lyangu: Nnonyelane jwine ni jwine mpela indite pakunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
13 Kakho olothando olukhulu kulalolu, lokuthi umuntu ababekele phansi abangane bakhe impilo yakhe.
Ngapangwa unonyelo wauli wekulungwa kuupunda unonyelo wa mundu jwakuutyosya umi wakwe kwa ligongo lya achambusanga ŵao.
14 Lina lingabangane bami, uba lisenza loba yini mina engililaya yona.
Ŵanyamwe ndi achambusanga ŵangu mwatendaga chele chingunnajisya.
15 Kangisalibizi ngokuthi lizinceku, ngoba inceku kayikwazi ukuthi inkosi yayo yenzani; kodwa sengilibize ngokuthi lingabangane, ngoba konke engikuzwileyo kuBaba ngilazise khona.
Uneji ngangummilanga sooni ŵakutumichila, pakuŵa jwakutumichila ngakuchimanyilila chakupanganya mmbujegwe. Nambo uneji nammilasile ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, pakuŵa nammanyisye yose inaipilikene kutyochela kwa Atati ŵangu.
16 Kalingikhethanga lina, kodwa mina ngilikhethile, njalo ngilimisile, ukuze lina lihambe lithele isithelo, lesithelo senu sihlale; ukuze loba yini eliyicela kuBaba ngebizo lami, alinike.
Ŵanyamwe nganimuusagula uneji, nambo uneji nansagwile ŵanyamwe ni kuntuma njaule nkasogole isogosi yejinji yaani ipanganyo yambone, ichitame moŵa gose, nipele chachili chose chachimwaŵende Atati ŵangu kwa liina lyangu chimpegwe.
17 Ngililaya lezizinto, ukuze lithandane.
Nipele, lilajisyo lyangu kukwenu lili ali, nnonyelane jwine ni jwine.
18 Uba umhlaba ulizonda, yazini ukuthi wangizonda mina ngaphambi kwenu.
“Iŵaga ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano akunchima ŵanyamwe, mmanyilile kuti akanaŵe kunchima ŵanyamwe, ŵanjimile uneji kaje.
19 Uba belingabomhlaba, umhlaba ubuzathanda abawo; kodwa ngoba lingeyisibo abomhlaba, kodwa ngalikhetha mina emhlabeni, ngakho umhlaba uyalizonda.
Nkaliji ŵandu ŵa pachilambo, ŵandu akunnonyela ŵanyamwe mpela achinjao. Ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵa pachilambo, nambo une nansagwile ŵanyamwe pasikati ja ŵandu ŵa pachilambo. Kwa ligongo lyo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo akunchima ŵanyamwe.
20 Khumbulani ilizwi mina engalitsho kini: Inceku kayinkulu kulenkosi yayo. Uba bengizingele mina, bazalizingela lani; uba belondoloza ilizwi lami, bazalondoloza lelenu.
Nkumbuchile inansalile yo kuti, ‘Jwakutumichila nganaŵa jwankulungwa kumpunda mmbujegwe.’ Iŵaga ŵalagesye uneji, ni ŵanyamwe nombe chanlagasye, agakamulichisyaga majiganyo gangu, ni majiganyo genu chagakamulisye.
21 Kodwa bazakwenza konke lokhu ngenxa yebizo lami, ngoba bengamazi ongithumileyo.
Nambo champanganyichisye ŵanyamwe yeleyo yose pakuŵa ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵangu, ligongo ngakwamanyilila ŵelewo ŵandumile une.
22 Uba bengingafikanga ngakhuluma labo, ngabe kabalasono; kodwa khathesi kabalazaba ngesono sabo.
Ngungaiche ni kuŵecheta nawo, ngakaŵe ni sambi, nambo sambano ngakukombola kulichenjela kuti nganakola sambi.
23 Ongizondayo, uzonda loBaba.
Jwakunjima une, akwachima Atati ŵangu nombe.
24 Uba bengingenzanga phakathi kwabo imisebenzi kungekho omunye owayenzayo, ngabe kabalasono; kodwa khathesi sebeyibonile sebezonde sonke mina loBaba.
Ngangapanganye kukwao masengo ganganagapanganye jwine, ngaakakole sambi, nambo sambano aiweni yakusimonjeka indesile, ali chiŵela kutuchima une ni Atati ŵangu.
25 Kodwa ukuze ligcwaliseke ilizwi elilotshiweyo emlayweni wabo elokuthi: Bangizonda kungelasizatho.
Nambo itendekwe yele kuti gamalile maloŵe gagalembekwe Mmalajisyo gao gagakuti, ‘Ŵanjimile pangali ligongo.’
26 Kodwa nxa esefikile uMduduzi, engizamthuma mina kini evela kuBaba, uMoya weqiniso, ophuma kuBaba, lo uzangifakazela;
“Chinantume nkamusi kutyochela kwa Atati ŵangu, jwele ali Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, juchasale usyene nkati Akunnungu. Chinantume kukwenu kutyochela kwa Atati kuti ansalile usyene nkati uneji.
27 lani futhi lizafakaza, ngoba belilami kusukela ekuqaleni.
Ni ŵanyamwe nombe chimwasalile ŵandu nkati une pakuŵa ntemi pamo ni une chitandile kundanda.
