< Yohana 14 >
1 Oganje aguleshe omwoyo gwaho abhe ahwalangane. Ohumweteshela Ongolobhe neteshele nane.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 Mu nyumba ya Daada wane muli mabhombo minji agakhale; nkashe semugali esho hande ebhozezye, afuatanaje embala abhalenganyizye apakhale awe.
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 Nkashe embale nabhalenganyizye nayenza nantele abhakaribizye hwa line, aje pendi ane namwe mubhanje.
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 Mumenye idala hwembala.”
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 O Tomaso abhozezye oYesu, “Gosi, setimenye hwobhala; Aje! Tibhalimanye bhole idala?
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas. “So how can we know the way?”
6 O Yesu abhozezye, “Ane endili dala, lyoli, no womi; nomo wagenza hwa Daada ila ashilile huline.
Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 Nkashe mugamenye ane, handamumenye no Daada wane nantele; ahwande esalezi na hwendelele muhamanya na mulolile omwane.”
If you had recognized me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognize him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 O Philipo abhozya oYesu, “Gosi, tilanje Odaada, esho shibhabhe shitiyiye.”
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we will be satisfied.”
9 O Yesu abhozya, “Sendi pandwemo namwe hu muda otali, no oliseele somenye ane, Philipo? Wawonti wandolile ane alolile Odaada; shili bhole oyanga, 'Tilanje Odaada'?
“Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? The person who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Semuhweteshela aje ane endi muhati ya Daada, oDaada ali muhati yane? Amazu geyanga hulimwe seyanga kulengana nane nene; baadala yakwe, Odaada wa hwizya mhati yane abhomba embombo yakwe.
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 Neteshele ane, aje ehwendi muhati ya Daada, no Daada ahweli mhati yane; shesho neteshe ane afutane nembombo zyane eshi.
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 Etesheli, etesheli, embabhozya, omwane waneteshela, ane embombo zila zyebhomba, aibhomba embombo ezyo wope nantele na aibhomba hata embombo engosi afuatanaje embala hwa Daada.
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 Hahonti hamulabha hwitawa lyane, embabhombe aje Odaada nkamwamihwe hwa Mwana.
Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honored in the Son.
14 Nkashe mulabhe ahantu hahonti hwi tawa lyane, eho embabhombe.
If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
15 Nkashe mubhangane, mubhazighate endajizyo zyane.
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 Nane embahulabhe Odaada, Wope anzabhapele omwavwi wamwabho aje abhe pandwemo namwe wilawila, (aiōn )
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you always – the Spirit of truth. (aiōn )
17 Ompempo we lyoli. Ensi sewezizye ahuposhele omwane afuatana naje seuhulola, au humemwe omwene, ata sheshi amwe mumenyo omene, afuatane na aibha muhati yenyu.
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognize him, but you recognize him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 Senaibhaleha mubhene; Naiwela hulimwe.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 Hu nsiku endodo, ensi seyayindola nantele, ila amwe mundola. Afuatane naje ahwizya namwe mwaizya nantele.
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 Hwi siku elyo mwaimanya aje ane ehwendi muhati ya Daada, naje amwe muli muhati yane, naje ane endi muhati yenyu.
At that time you will recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 Wawonti wakhata endajizyo na zibhombe, yayola omo wangene ene na wangene ane; na wangene ane aiganwa no Daada wane, naihugana na naihwibhonesya ane nene hwa mwene.”
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 O Yuda (siyo Iskariote) abhozya oYesu, “Gosi, Aje! Yenu yebha fumile aje obhahwibhonesye wewe?
“What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 O Yesu ayanjile ajile, “Nkashe wawonti wangene, abhakhate izu lyane. Odaada wane anza hugane, na tibhahwenze hwa mwene na tibhabheshe okhalo gwetu pandwemo no mwahale.
“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 Wawonti wasangene ane, sakhata amuzu gane. Izu lya mhonvwa se lya line ila Daada wantumile.
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 Enjanjile enongwa ezi hwalimwe, omuda gwe hwizya pandwemo namwe.
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 Ata sheshi, Mfariji, Ompepo Ofinjile, lyane Odaada aihutuma hwitawa lyane, aibhasambelezya enongwa zyonti na aibhabheha aje mkoboshe gonti gehayanjile hulimwe.
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 Olusongwo embapele olusongwo lwane amwe. Sembapele na ensi sepela. Muganje abheshe amoyo genyu abhe no walangano, no bhonga.
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 Mwahonvwezye shila shehabhabhozezye, esogola nantele naiwela hulimwe.' Nkashe mugangene ane, mwenzabhe no losongwo afuatanaje embala hwa Daada, afuatanaje Odaada gosi ashile ane.
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 Esalezi yanje namwe amazu gaminji, afuatanaje ogosi wensi ene ahwenza omwene saali ne nguvu pamwanya yane.
And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 Sembayanje namwe amazu gaminji, afuatanaje ogosi wensi ene ahwenza omwene saali ne nguvu pamwanya yane,
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 aje ensi epate amanye aje egene Odaada, ehomba hala Odaada handajizya ane, nanshi shila shampiye endajizyo. Bhoshi, tifume apantu epa.
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.
