Yohana 15
1 Ane endi mzabibu ogu gwe lyoli, odaada wane omwene mkulima we mzabibu.
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 Isamba lya salipapa endondo, elyefwa ila isamba lya lipapa endondo alyefwa ili aje nkali papaje tee.
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Amwe muli bhinza alengane ne nongwa yembabhozezye.
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 Mukhale muhati yane na muhati yenyu. Nanshi isamba seligapapa lyene nkaselili mumuzabibu, shesho namwe, nkase mukhala muhati yane.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
5 Ane endi mzabibu; amwe muli nsamba. Wakhala muhati yane nane muhati yakwe, omuntu ono apapa endondo zinyinji, afuatanaje bila ane amwe simuwezizye abhombe embombo yayonti.
I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Nkashe omuntu wawonti wasaga abhakhale muhati yane, abhatagwe nanshi osamba na hwome; abhantu bhabhonganya amasamba na agataje humwoto, na galongolela.
If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 Nkashe mubhakhale muhati yane, na nkashe amazu gane ganzakhale muhati yenyu, labhaji lyalyonti lya mubhahwanze, namwe mubhabhombelwe.
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
8 Hweli odaada amwamihwe, naje mupapa endondo zinyinji naje bhanafunzi bhane.
"In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
9 Nkashe odaada wane shangene ane, ane nane embagene amwe, khalaji mulugano lwane.
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
10 Nkashe mubhakhate endajizyo zyane, mubhakhale mulugano lwane nashi shehete endajizyo yza daada wane na khale mulugano lwakwe.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.
11 Enjanjile enongwa ezi hulimwe aje olusongwo lwane lubhe muhati yenyu na aje olusongwo lwenyu lubhombeshe abhe golusu.
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 Olu lulajizyo lwane aje mganane amwe hu mwemwe nanshi sembagene amwe.
"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 Nomo omuntu waali nolugano ogosi ashile ou aje afumwe olwizo lwakwe eshauli ya bhanje.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
14 Amwe muli bha mwetu nkamubhabhombe gala gembalajizya.
You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
15 Sembakwizyabhaboyi, afuatanaje oboyi samanya kila habhomba ogosi wakwe. Embakwizya amwe bhamwetu, alenganaje embabhozezye enongwa zyonti zyenonvwezye afume hwa Daada.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
16 Semwansaluye ane ila ane nabhasaluye amwe na bhabheshe aje mubhalaje apape endondo, na endondo zyenyu zipate akhale. Eli lili eshi aje hahonti hamulabha hwa Daada hwi tawa lyane, anzabhapele.
You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17 Enongwa ezi embalajizya aje mganane shila muntu nowamwabho.
"I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
18 Nkashe ensi enzabhavitwe, mumanye aje ebhanvitwe nene sheli seele abhavitwe amwe.
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19 Nkashe mugali bha munsi, ensi handa ebhagene nanshi bha mwabho; Afuatanaje amwe semuli bha munsi na afwatanaje senabhachaguye afume munsi, afuatane neshi insi ebhavitwa.
If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Komboshi izu lyana bhabhozezye, 'Oboyi se gosi ashile ogosi wakwe.' Nkashe bhanjenvezye ane, bhaibhaye nvya lyane, handabhakhete iklyalimwe lyape.
Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 Bhaibhabhombela amambo ega gonti alengane ni tawa lyane alengane sebhamenye ola wantumile.
But all these things will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
22 Nkashe engalisenenzele na bhabhozye handasabhabhombile embibhi, ila esalezi sebhali noudhuru hu mbibhi zyabho.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Wanvwitwa ane ahuvitwa yo Daada nantele.
He who hates me hates my Father also.
24 Nkashe sembombile embombo muhati yabho enganomo omo wabho waibhombile, handasebhali ne mbibhi; ila esalezi wabhombile gonti gabhele bhalolile na bhvitilwe ane no Daada wane.
If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 Ene efumila aje izu likamilishe lyalyandihwe mundajizyo: 'Zyabhowanvitwa ane bila li kosa.'
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
26 Wazinda ayenzele, wembahufume hulimwe afume hwa Daada, ono yayono, Ompepo we lyoli, wafuma hwa Daada, aihakikisizya.
"When the Helper has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27 Amwe mhakikisizya afuatanaje muuli pandwemo nane afume ahwande.
And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
