Johani 14
1 Moyo wenyu ngaurege kutambudzika; munotenda kuna Mwari, tendaiwo kwandiri.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.
2 Mumusha maBaba vangu mune dzimba zhinji dzekugara; dai zvisina kudaro, ndingadai ndakakuudzai. Ndinoenda kunokugadzirirai nzvimbo.
In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3 Zvino ndikanokugadzirirai nzvimbo, ndichauyazve ndikugamuchirei kwandiri; kuti apo ini pandiri, imwi muvepowo.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.
4 Uye ini pandinoenda munoziva, nenzira munoziva.
You know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Tomasi akati kwaari: Ishe, hatizivi kwamunoenda; ko tinogona kuziva sei nzira?
“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesu akati kwaari: Ini ndiri nzira, nechokwadi, neupenyu; hapana anouya kuna Baba, asi nekwandiri.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 Dai maindiziva, maiziva Baba vanguwo; uye kubva ikozvino munovaziva, uye makavaona.
If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Firipi akati kwaari: Ishe, tiratidzei Baba, uye zvakatikwanira.
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesu akati kwaari: Ndava nemwi nguva refu yakadai, hausati wandiziva here, Firipi? Waona ini, waona Baba; zvino unoreva sei uchiti: Tiratidzei Baba?
Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Hautendi here kuti ini ndiri muna Baba, naBaba vari mandiri? Mashoko andinotaura kwamuri ini, handiatauri pachangu; asi Baba, vanogara mandiri, ndivo vanoita mabasa.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.
11 Nditendei kuti ndiri muna Baba, naBaba vari mandiri; kana zvisakadaro nditendei nekuda kwemabasa amene.
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.
12 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Anotenda kwandiri, mabasa ini andinoita iye achaaitawo, uye makuru kune awa achaaita; nokuti ini ndinoenda kuna Baba vangu.
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 Uye chero chipi chamunokumbira muzita rangu, icho ndichachiita, kuti Baba varumbidzwe muMwanakomana.
And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Kana muchikumbira chero chipi muzita rangu, ini ndichachiita.
If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.
15 Kana muchindida, chengetai mirairo yangu.
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
16 Neni ndichakumbira Baba, naivo vachakupai umwe Munyaradzi, kuti agare nemwi nekusingaperi, (aiōn g165)
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— (aiōn g165)
17 Mweya wechokwadi, iyo nyika yausingagoni kugamuchira, nokuti haimuoni, kana kumuziva. Asi imwi munomuziva, nokuti ugere nemwi, uchava mukati menyu.
the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.
18 Handingakusii muri nherera; ndichauya kwamuri.
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19 Kuchine chinguvana, nenyika haichazondioni; asi imwi muchandiona; nokuti ini ndinorarama, imwiwo muchararama.
In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 Nezuva iro imwi muchaziva kuti ndiri muna Baba vangu, nemwi mandiri, neni mamuri.
On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.
21 Ane mirairo yangu achiichengeta, ndiye anondida; uye anondida achadikanwa naBaba vangu; neni ndichamuda, uye ndichazviratidza kwaari.
Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”
22 Judhasi, kwete Isikariyoti, akati kwaari: Ishe, chii kuti munozozviratidza kwatiri, asi kwete kunyika?
Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Kana munhu achindida, achachengeta shoko rangu, naBaba vangu vachamuda, uye tichauya kwaari, tikaita ugaro naye.
Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
24 Asingandidi, haachengeti mashoko angu; neshoko ramunonzwa harisi rangu, asi raBaba vakandituma.
Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.
25 Zvinhu izvozvi ndazvitaura kwamuri ndigere nemwi.
All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
26 Asi Munyaradzi, Mweya Mutsvene, iwo Baba wavachatuma muzita rangu, iye achakudzidzisai zvinhu zvese, uye akuyeudzirei zvese zvandakataura kwamuri.
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
27 Rugare ndinosiya kwamuri; rugare rwangu ndinopa kwamuri; kwete nyika sezvainopa, ini ndinopa kwamuri. Moyo wenyu ngaurege kutambudzika, kana kutya.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.
28 Manzwa kuti ini ndati kwamuri: Ndinoenda, uye ndichauya kwamuri. Kana maindida, maifara, nokuti ndati: Ndinoenda kuna Baba; nokuti Baba vangu vakuru kwandiri.
You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 Uye ikozvino ndakuudzai zvisati zvaitika; kuti kana zvoitika mungatenda.
And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
30 Handichazotaurizve zvizhinji nemwi; nokuti mutongi wenyika ino anouya, asi haana chinhu kwandiri;
I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.
31 asi kuti nyika izive kuti ndinoda Baba, uye Baba sezvavakandiraira, ndinoita saizvozvo. Simukai, ngatibve pano.
But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.
