Yohani 14
1 Yesu kawagambira, “Namuligaziya mumyoyu mwenu. Mumjimiri Mlungu na munjimiri neni viraa.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 Ukaya mwa Tati gwangu kwana mbakati zivuwa, nuwagambiriti kala na vinu nankugenda kuwanyawirani pahali penu.
In my Father’s home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 Na pang'enda na kuwanyawilireni pahala penu, hambuyi na kuwatola, su mwenga hamuweri pamuhera naneni.
And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
4 Muyimana njira ya kugenda aku kwang'enda.”
and you know the way to the place where I am going.’
5 Tomasi kamkosiya, “Mtuwa, tuvimana ndiri kwagugenda, su twankuyimana hashi njira ayi?”
‘We do not know where you are going, Master,’ said Thomas. ‘So how can we know the way?’
6 Yesu kamwankula, “Neni ndo njira na unakaka na ukomu. Kwahera yakaweza kugenda kwa Tati ira kwa kupitira kwaneni.
Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 Kawagambira, vinu mumana neni, mumana na Tati gwangu viraa. Na kwanjira vinu mumana na mumwona kala.”
If you had recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.’
8 Filipu kamgambira, “Mtuwa, tumlanguziyi Tati, natwenga hatwikuti.”
‘Master, show us the Father,’ said Philip, ‘and we will be satisfied.’
9 Yesu kamwankula, “Filipu, nulikala namwenga kwa shipindi shoseri, nagwenga gumana ndiri? Yakamoniti kala neni kamwona Tati. Guweza hashi kutakula, Tumlanguziyi Tati?
‘Have I been all this time among you,’ said Jesus, ‘and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? The person who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, “Show us the Father”?
10 Hashi, mjimira ndiri handa neni namngati mwa Tati, nayomberi Tati ka mngati mwaneni? Visoweru nyanuwagambirani ntakula ndiri kwa utuwa waneni, Tati yakawera mngati mwaneni kankutenda lihengu lyakuwi.
Don’t you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work.
11 Munjimiri neni pantakula handa neni namngati mwa Tati naTati ka mngati mwaneni. Handa hangu ndiri, mjimiri toziya ya vintu vyantenda.
Believe me,’ he said to them all, ‘when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me because of the work itself.
12 Nakaka nuwagambirani, yakanjimira neni hakatendi vitwatira vyantenda neni, yina, hakatendi vintu vikulu nentu, toziya nankugenda kwa Tati.
In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me will themselves do the work that I am doing; and they will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
13 Na shoseri shamluwa mulitawu lyaneni hantendi, su Tati kakwiswi mnumba ya mwana.
Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
14 Pamunduwa shoseri mulitawu lyangu, hanuwatendereni.
If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
15 “Pamunfira neni, hamulijimili lilagaliru lyaneni.
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 Naneni hanumluwi Tati nayomberi hakawapanani mtanga yumonga, hakalikali namwenga kwa mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you always – the Spirit of truth. (aiōn g165)
17 Yomberi ndo Rohu yakalanguziya unakaka kuusu Mlungu. Wantu wa pasipanu waweza ndiri kumuwanka toziya waweza ndiri kumwona wala kummana. Kumbiti mwenga mumana toziya kalikala namwenga na ka mngati mwenu.
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 “Pang'enda hanuwaleki ndiri mwawashiwa, hanizi kayi kwamwenga.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 Katepu hera wantu wa pasipanu hawamoni kayi ndiri, kumbiti mwenga hamumoni. Toziya nana ukomu, viraa mwenga hamuweri na ukomu.
In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
20 Lishaka lilii palisokiti hamuvimani handa neni na mngati mwa Tati, naneni mngati mwamwenga.
At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 “Yakagayanka malagaliru ganeni na kugajimira, ndoweni walii yawanfira neni. Tati gwangu hakawafiri woseri yawanfira neni, naneni vulaa hanuwafiri womberi na hanulilanguziyi kwawomberi.”
It is they who have my commands and lays them to heart who loves me; and the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them, and will reveal myself to them.’
22 Yuda, Yuda Isikariyoti ndiri, kamgambira, “Mtuwa, hashi iwezekana gwenga kulilanguziya kwatwenga na gulilanguziya ndiri kwa wantu wa pasipanu?”
‘What has happened, Master,’ said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), ‘that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?’
23 Yesu kamwankula, “Muntu pakanfira neni hakagajimili mafundu gangu na Tati gwangu hakamfiri, neni pamuhera na Tati gwangu hatwizi kulikala nayomberi.
‘Whoever loves me,’ Jesus answered, ‘will lay my message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Yakanfira ndiri hapeni kagajimili mafundu gangu. Na mafundu gampikaniriti gangu ndiri, galawa kwa Tati yakantumiti.
The person who does not love me will not lay my message to heart; and the message to which you are listening is not my own, but comes from the Father who sent me.
25 “Nuwagambiriti vitwatira avi pamweriti nakali na mwenga.
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 Kumbiti mtanga, Rohu Mnanagala, ndomweni Tati hakamtumi mulitawu lyaneni, hakawafundeni kila shintu na kuwakumbusiyani goseri ganuwagambirani.
but the helper – the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name – will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
27 “Nuwalekera ponga, nuwapanani ponga yangu. Nuwapanani ndiri mwenga gambira wantu wa pasipanu ntambu yawatenda. Namuwera na lyoga ama namuhinginyika.
Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
28 Mpikaniriti kala panuwagambira, Nankugenda zyangu, shakapanu hambuyi kayi kwamwenga. Handa munganfiriti, munganemeli toziya nankugenda kwa Tati, yomberi ndo mkulu nentu kuliku neni.
You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 Nuwagambireni aga vinu pamberi ganalawira, su pagalawila mpati kujimira.
And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 Ntakula ndiri namwenga kayi vitwatira avi vivuwa, mana mtuwa gwa pasipanu kankwiza. Hapeni kawezi shintu kwaneni,
I will not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
31 kumbiti wantu wa pasi panu mpaka wavimani handa numufira Tati, ndo mana ntenda kila shintu gambira Tati ntambu yakanamuwiti. “Mgoloki, tuwuki panu!”
but he is coming so that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
