Yohana 15
1 Nenga na mzabibu wa wolo kweli, na tate bango nga mkulima wa mzabibu.
I am the true vine; and my Father is the cultivator.
2 Kila tawi nkati yango lyabile lipambika kwa matunda, ni kulisafisha kila tawi lyabile ulibeleka tunda uliondoa ili kuwa liweze kubeleka muno.
Every branch in me, which yieldeth not fruits, he taketh it away: and that which yieldeth fruits, he cleanseth it, that it may yield more fruits.
3 Mwenga tayari mwabile safi kwa sababu ya ujumbe wabile niamakiye tayari. Mtame nkati yango, na nenga nkati yinu.
Ye henceforth are clean, on account of the discourse I have held with you.
4 Kati tawi lya liweza kwaa kupambika kichake ilamana ubile mu'mzabibu, kadhalika ni mwenga, mana mutami kwaa nkati yango.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot yield fruits of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so also, neither can ye, unless ye abide in me.
5 Nenga na mzabibu; mwenga mwa matawi. Ywadumiye nkati yango ni nenga nkati yake, mundu ywoo alowa pambika matunda ganyansima, kwa mana bila nenga muweza kwaa panga likowe lolote.
I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can do nothing.
6 Mana itei mundu atama kwaa nkati yango, alowa tombokelwa kati tawi ni kukauka; bandu ugakusanya matawi ni kugaboywa mu'mwoto, ni teketea.
And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be burned.
7 Mana itei mwadumu nkati yango, na kati maneno yango yatidumu nkati yinu, mulobe lolote mwamulipala, ni nenga mwalowa pangilwa.
But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given to you.
8 Mu'lee tate bango atitukuzwa, kwamba mwapambika matunda yanyansima ni kuwa ni anapunzi bango.
In this is the Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will be my disciples.
9 Kati tate bango ywanipendile nenga pia niapendike mwenga; mudumu mu'lipendo lyango.
As my Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in the love of me.
10 Mana itei mwaikamwa amri yango, mwalowa dumu mu'lipendo lyango kati niikamwile amri ya tate bango na kudumu mu'lipendo lyake.
If ye shall keep my commands, ye will abide in the love of me, as I have kept the commands of my Father, and abide in his love.
11 Niabayite makowe aga kwinu ili kuwa puraha yango ibe nkati yinu ili puraha yinu ipangike kuwa timilifu.
These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12 Ayee nga amri yango, kuwa mpendane bene kwa bene kati yaniwapendile mwenga.
This is my command, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Ntopo mundu ywabile ni upendo nkolo kuliko woo, kuwa agaboywe maisha gake kwa ajili ya mbwiga bake.
There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Mwenga mwa mbwiga bango mwalowa panga goti yaniamakiaye nenga.
Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you.
15 Niakema kwaa amanda ajui chelo chaapangite Ngwana wake. Niakemile mwenga mambwiga, kwa sababu niamakie makowe yoti yabile niayowine kuoma kwa Tate.
I no longer call you servants; because a servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you my friends; because, whatever I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16 Munichawa kwaa nenga, ila nenga niachawile mwenga ni kuabeka muyende pambika matunda, ni litunda linu lipate tama. Ibile nyoo ili chochote cha mukiloba kwa Tate kwa lina lyango, alowa kuwapeya.
It is not ye that chose me, but I that have chosen you; and I have appointed you, that ye also should go and yield fruits, and that your fruits should continue; so that whatever ye may ask of my Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 Makowe aga niaagize mwenga, kuwa mpendane kila mundu ni ywenge.
These things I command you, that ye should love one another.
18 Kati ulimwengu utabachukia, mtange kuwa unichukiite nenga kabla kubachukia mwenga.
And if the world hate you, know ye, that it hated me before you.
19 Kati mwabile ba ulimwengu, ulimwengu ulowa kubapenda kati wa kwao. Lakini kwa kuwa mwenga mwa ulimwengu kwaa ni kwa kuwa niachawile kuoma mu'ulimwengu ni kwa ajili yee ulimwengu ubachukyanga.
And if ye were of the world, the world would love what is of it. But ye are not of the world, for I have chosen you out of the world; for this cause, the world hateth you.
20 Mulikombokyange neno lyaniamakiye, “Mmanda nga nkolo kwaa kuliko ngwana wake,'Mana itei balinitesa nenga, walowa kubatesa ni mwenga; kati batikulikamwa neno lyango, bangelikamwa ni lya kwinu.
Remember the word that I spoke to you, That there is no servant, who is greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; and if they have observed my teaching, they will also observe yours.
21 Mubapangiye makowe aga yoti kwaajili ya lina lyango kwa kuwa muntangite kwaa yolo ywanitumile.
But all these things will they do to you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
22 Mana niisile kwaa ni kuamakiya, bapangite kwaa sambi; lakini nambeambe babile ni udhuru kwa ambi yabe.
If I had not come and discoursed with them, sin would not have been to them; but now there is no excuse for their sins.
23 Ywanichukyange nenga umchukiya ni Tate.
He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
24 Mana itei nipangite kwaa kazi nkati ya bembe ambayo ntopo yumo ywaipanga, babile kwaa ni sambi, lakini nambeambe bapangite yoti yanaibele babweni na batinichukyanga nenga ni Tate bango.
If I had not wrought before them works which no other person ever did, sin would not have been to them: but now they have seen, and have hated, both me and my Father;
25 Alee lipangite ili neno litimye ambalo liandikilwe mu'saliya yabe:'Banichukyanga nenga bila sababu.'
so that in them will be fulfilled the word which is written in their law: They hated me, without a cause.
26 Muda mfariji atiisa, ywabilenimtumile kwinu kuoma kwa Tate, ayee nga, Roho wa kweli, ywabile abokile kwa Tate, alowa kunishuhudia.
But when the Comforter shall come, whom I will send to you from my Father, that Spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, He will testify of me.
27 Mwenga mwanishuhudia kwa sababu nibile pamope ni nenga tangu mwanzo.
And do ye also testify; for ye have been with me from the beginning.
