Johani 15
1 “Ndini muzambiringa wechokwadi, uye Baba vangu murimi.
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.
2 Davi rimwe nerimwe riri mandiri risingabereki vanoritema, asi davi rimwe nerimwe rinobereka michero vanorichekerera kuitira kuti rigozobereka michero yakawanda.
He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful.
3 Imi matonatswa nokuda kweshoko randataura kwamuri.
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4 Garai mandiri, uye ini ndichagara mamuri. Hakuna davi rinobereka michero riri roga; rinofanira kugara mumuzambiringa. Nemi hamungabereki zvibereko kunze kwokunge magara mandiri.
Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.
5 “Ini ndiri muzambiringa; imi muri matavi. Kana munhu akagara mandiri uye neni maari, achabereka zvibereko zvakawanda; kunze kwangu hamugoni kuita chinhu.
I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.
6 Kana munhu asingagari mandiri, akaita sedavi rakarasirwa kure rikaoma; matavi akadaro anotorwa, okandwa mumoto agopiswa.
If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.
7 Kana muchigara mandiri uye mashoko angu achigara mamuri, kumbirai zvose zvamunoda, uye muchazvipiwa.
If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8 Baba vangu vanokudzwa naizvozvo kuti mubereke zvibereko zvakawanda, muchizviratidza kuti muri vadzidzi vangu.
This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.
9 “Sezvo Baba vakandida, neniwo ndakakudai, zvino, chigarai murudo rwangu.
As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.
10 Kana muchiteerera mirayiro yangu, muchagara murudo rwangu, sezvandakateerera mirayiro yaBaba vangu uye ndikagara murudo rwavo.
If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.
11 Ndakuudzai izvi kuitira kuti mufaro wangu uve mamuri uye kuti mufaro wenyu uve wakakwana.
I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
12 Murayiro wangu ndouyu: Dananai, sezvo ini ndakakudai.
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 Hakuna munhu ano rudo rukuru kuno urwu, kuti munhu ape upenyu hwake nokuda kweshamwari dzake.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
14 Muri shamwari dzangu kana muchiita zvandinokurayirai.
You are My friends if you do what I command you.
15 Handichakuidzii varanda, nokuti muranda haazivi zvinoitwa natenzi wake. Asi ndinokuidzai shamwari, nokuti zvose zvandakadzidza kubva kuna Baba vangu ndakakuzivisai.
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.
16 Imi hamuna kundisarudza, asi ndakakusarudzai uye ndikakugadzai kuti muende mugondobereka zvibereko, izvo zvibereko zvinogara. Ipapo Baba vachakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira muzita rangu.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
17 Uyu ndiwo murayiro wangu: Dananai.
This is My command to you: Love one another.
18 “Kana nyika ichikuvengai, muyeuke kuti yakatanga kuvenga ini.
If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
19 Dai manga muri venyika, ingadai ichikudai sezvainoda vayo. Zvino, hamusi venyika, asi ini ndakakusarudzai kuti mubude munyika. Ndokusaka nyika ichikuvengai.
If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
20 Rangarirai mashoko andakataura kwamuri anoti, ‘Hakuna muranda angava mukuru kuna tenzi wake.’ Kana vakatambudza ini, vachakutambudzaiwo imi. Kana vakateerera kudzidzisa kwangu, vachateererawo kudzidzisa kwenyu.
Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.
21 Vachakubatai nenzira iyi nokuda kwezita rangu, nokuti havazivi Iye akandituma.
But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
22 Dai ndakanga ndisina kuuya ndikataura kwavari, vangadai vasina mhosva yechivi ichi. Zvino, kunyange zvakadaro, havana chikonzero chokuita chivi chavo.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Uyo anondivenga anovengawo Baba vangu.
Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
24 Dai ndanga ndisina kuita pakati pavo zvisina kutongoitwa nomunhu, vangadai vasina mhosva yechivi. Asi zvino vakaona zviratidzo izvi, asi vakandivenga ini naBaba vangu.
If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.
25 Asi uku ndiko kuzadziswa kwezvakanyorwa muMurayiro wavo zvinoti: ‘Vakandivenga pasina chikonzero.’
But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’
26 “Kana Munyaradzi asvika, iye wandichatuma kwamuri achibva kuna Baba, iye Mweya wechokwadi anobuda achibva kuna Baba, achapupura nezvangu.
When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.
27 Nemiwo munofanira kupupura, nokuti makanga muneni kubva pakutanga.
And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
