Yohana 14
1 Yesu akawaambia, “Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, mnamwamini Mungu, niaminini na mimi pia.
Let not your heart be troubled; believe on God, and believe on me.
2 Nyumbani kwa Baba yangu kuna makao mengi. Kama sivyo, ningeliwaambia. Naenda kuwaandalia makao.
In my Father's house are many mansions. Were it otherwise, I would have told you.
3 Nami nikienda na kuwaandalia makao, nitarudi tena na kuwachukua mkae pamoja nami, ili mahali nilipo, nanyi mpate kuwepo.
I go to prepare a place for you: and after I shall have gone, and prepared a place for you; I will return and take you with me, that where I am, there you may be also.
4 Ninyi mnajua njia ya kufika ninakokwenda.”
And whither I am going, you know, and the way you know.
5 Tomaso akamwambia, “Bwana, sisi hatujui unakokwenda, tutaijuaje njia?”
Thomas said to him, Master, we know not whither you are going. How, then, can we know the way?
6 Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndimi njia na kweli na uzima. Mtu hawezi kuja kwa Baba isipokuwa kwa kupitia kwangu.
Jesus answered, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, but by me.
7 Kama mngenijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba pia. Tangu sasa, mnamjua Baba yangu, tena mmemwona.”
Had you known me, you would have known my Father also; and henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
8 Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba yako yatosha.”
Philip said to him, Master, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us.
9 Yesu akamjibu, “Filipo, nimekaa nanyi muda huu wote hata usinijue? Mtu yeyote aliyeniona mimi, amemwona Baba. Sasa wawezaje kusema, ‘Tuonyeshe Baba’?
Jesus replied, Have I been with you so long, and do you not yet know me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father. How do you say, then, Show us the Father?
10 Je, huamini ya kuwa mimi niko ndani ya Baba, naye Baba yuko ndani yangu? Maneno ninayowaambia siyasemi kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe, bali Baba akaaye ndani yangu ndiye atendaye hizi kazi.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you proceed not form myself: as to the works, it is the Father dwelling in me who does them.
11 Nisadiki mimi kwamba niko ndani ya Baba na Baba yuko ndani yangu, la sivyo, niaminini kwa sababu ya zile kazi nizitendazo.
Believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; if not on my testimony, be convinced by the works themselves.
12 Amin, amin nawaambia, yeyote aniaminiye mimi, kazi nizifanyazo yeye atazifanya, naam na kubwa kuliko hizi atazifanya, kwa sababu mimi ninakwenda kwa Baba.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes on me, shall himself do such works as I do; nay, even greater than these shall he do; because I go to my Father,
13 Nanyi mkiomba lolote kwa Jina langu, hilo nitalifanya, ili Baba apate kutukuzwa katika Mwana.
and will do whatsoever you shall ask in my name. That the Father may be glorified in the Son,
14 Kama mkiniomba lolote kwa Jina langu nitalifanya.
whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do.
15 “Kama mnanipenda, mtazishika amri zangu.
If you love me, keep my commandments;
and I will entreat the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to continue with you forever; (aiōn g165)
17 Huyo ndiye Roho wa kweli ambaye ulimwengu hauwezi kumpokea, kwa sababu haumwoni wala haumjui. Ninyi mnamjua kwa kuwa yuko pamoja nanyi naye anakaa ndani yenu.
even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can not receive, because it neither sees him, nor knows him; but you shall know him, because he will abide with you, and be in you.
18 Sitawaacha ninyi yatima, naja kwenu.
I will not leave you forlorn; I will return to you.
19 Bado kitambo kidogo ulimwengu hautaniona tena, ila ninyi mtaniona, kwa kuwa mimi ni hai, ninyi nanyi mtakuwa hai.
Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more; but you shall see me; because I live, you also shall live.
20 Wakati huo mtajua ya kuwa mimi niko ndani ya Baba na ninyi mko ndani yangu na mimi niko ndani yenu.
On that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me; and I in you.
21 Yeyote mwenye amri zangu na kuzishika ndiye anipendaye, naye anipendaye atapendwa na Baba yangu, nami nitampenda na kujidhihirisha kwake.”
He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me, will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself to him.
22 Ndipo Yuda, siyo Iskariote, akamwambia, “Bwana, itakuwaje kwamba utajidhihirisha kwetu na si kwa ulimwengu?”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Master, wherefore will you manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?
23 Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu yeyote akinipenda atalishika neno langu na Baba yangu atampenda, nasi tutakuja kwake na kufanya makao yetu kwake.
Jesus answering, said to him, If a man love me, he will observe my word; and my Father will love him; and we will come to him, and dwell with him.
24 Mtu yeyote asiyenipenda hayashiki maneno yangu na maneno niliyowapa si yangu bali ni ya Baba aliyenituma.
He who loves me not, disregards my words; yet the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's, who sent me.
25 “Nimewaambia mambo haya yote wakati bado niko pamoja nanyi.
I tell you these things, while I remain with you.
26 Lakini huyo Msaidizi, yaani, huyo Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwenu kwa Jina langu, atawafundisha mambo yote na kuwakumbusha yote niliyowaambia.
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I have told you.
27 Amani nawaachia, amani yangu nawapa, amani hii niwapayo si kama ile ulimwengu utoayo. Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, wala msiogope.
Peace I leave you; my peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Be not disheartened; be not intimidated.
28 “Mlinisikia nikisema, ‘Ninakwenda zangu, lakini nitarudi tena.’ Kama kweli mngelinipenda mngelifurahi kwa kuwa naenda kwa Baba, kwani Baba ni mkuu kuniliko mimi.
You have heard me say, I go away, and will return to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I go to the Father; because my Father is greater than I.
29 Nimewaambia mambo haya kabla hayajatukia, ili yatakapotukia mpate kuamini.
This I tell you now, before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe.
30 Sitasema nanyi zaidi, kwa sababu yule mkuu wa ulimwengu huu anakuja, naye hana kitu kwangu,
I shall not, henceforth, have much conversation with you; for the prince of the world is coming, though he will find nothing in me;
31 lakini ulimwengu upate kujua kuwa ninampenda Baba, nami hufanya vile Baba alivyoniamuru. “Haya inukeni; twendeni zetu.
but this must be that the world may know that I love the Father, and do whatsoever he commands me. Arise, let us go hence.
