Johani 15
1 “Ndini muzambiringa wechokwadi, uye Baba vangu murimi.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
2 Davi rimwe nerimwe riri mandiri risingabereki vanoritema, asi davi rimwe nerimwe rinobereka michero vanorichekerera kuitira kuti rigozobereka michero yakawanda.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he trimmeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Imi matonatswa nokuda kweshoko randataura kwamuri.
Now ye are clean through the word which 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.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide 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, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 Kana munhu asingagari mandiri, akaita sedavi rakarasirwa kure rikaoma; matavi akadaro anotorwa, okandwa mumoto agopiswa.
If a man abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 Kana muchigara mandiri uye mashoko angu achigara mamuri, kumbirai zvose zvamunoda, uye muchazvipiwa.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.
8 Baba vangu vanokudzwa naizvozvo kuti mubereke zvibereko zvakawanda, muchizviratidza kuti muri vadzidzi vangu.
In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 “Sezvo Baba vakandida, neniwo ndakakudai, zvino, chigarai murudo rwangu.
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 Kana muchiteerera mirayiro yangu, muchagara murudo rwangu, sezvandakateerera mirayiro yaBaba vangu uye ndikagara murudo rwavo.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 Ndakuudzai izvi kuitira kuti mufaro wangu uve mamuri uye kuti mufaro wenyu uve wakakwana.
These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 Murayiro wangu ndouyu: Dananai, sezvo ini ndakakudai.
This is my commandment, That ye 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 hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Muri shamwari dzangu kana muchiita zvandinokurayirai.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you.
15 Handichakuidzii varanda, nokuti muranda haazivi zvinoitwa natenzi wake. Asi ndinokuidzai shamwari, nokuti zvose zvandakadzidza kubva kuna Baba vangu ndakakuzivisai.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard 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.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17 Uyu ndiwo murayiro wangu: Dananai.
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 “Kana nyika ichikuvengai, muyeuke kuti yakatanga kuvenga ini.
If the world hateth you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 Dai manga muri venyika, ingadai ichikudai sezvainoda vayo. Zvino, hamusi venyika, asi ini ndakakusarudzai kuti mubude munyika. Ndokusaka nyika ichikuvengai.
If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
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 said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 Vachakubatai nenzira iyi nokuda kwezita rangu, nokuti havazivi Iye akandituma.
But all these things will they do to you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that 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 had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
23 Uyo anondivenga anovengawo Baba vangu.
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
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 which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 Asi uku ndiko kuzadziswa kwezvakanyorwa muMurayiro wavo zvinoti: ‘Vakandivenga pasina chikonzero.’
But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 “Kana Munyaradzi asvika, iye wandichatuma kwamuri achibva kuna Baba, iye Mweya wechokwadi anobuda achibva kuna Baba, achapupura nezvangu.
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify concerning me:
27 Nemiwo munofanira kupupura, nokuti makanga muneni kubva pakutanga.
And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
