Yohana 14
1 Yesu akawaambia, “Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, mnamwamini Mungu, niaminini na mimi pia.
Let not your heart be troubled. Have faith in God, and have faith in me.
2 Nyumbani kwa Baba yangu kuna makao mengi. Kama sivyo, ningeliwaambia. Naenda kuwaandalia makao.
In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. For I go away to prepare a place for you;
3 Nami nikienda na kuwaandalia makao, nitarudi tena na kuwachukua mkae pamoja nami, ili mahali nilipo, nanyi mpate kuwepo.
and when I have gone away and prepared a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, ye also may be.
4 Ninyi mnajua njia ya kufika ninakokwenda.”
And ye know the way whither I go.
5 Tomaso akamwambia, “Bwana, sisi hatujui unakokwenda, tutaijuaje njia?”
Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how then do we know the way?
6 Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndimi njia na kweli na uzima. Mtu hawezi kuja kwa Baba isipokuwa kwa kupitia kwangu.
Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one cometh to the Father but through me.
7 Kama mngenijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba pia. Tangu sasa, mnamjua Baba yangu, tena mmemwona.”
If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also; and from this time ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba yako yatosha.”
Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied.
9 Yesu akamjibu, “Filipo, nimekaa nanyi muda huu wote hata usinijue? Mtu yeyote aliyeniona mimi, amemwona Baba. Sasa wawezaje kusema, ‘Tuonyeshe Baba’?
Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how is it that thou sayest, 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.
Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not from myself; but the Father, who dwelleth in me, doeth his works.
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; but if not, believe for the very works' sake.
12 Amin, amin nawaambia, yeyote aniaminiye mimi, kazi nizifanyazo yeye atazifanya, naam na kubwa kuliko hizi atazifanya, kwa sababu mimi ninakwenda kwa Baba.
Truly, truly do I say to you, He that believeth in me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater than these shall he do; because I am going to the Father,
13 Nanyi mkiomba lolote kwa Jina langu, hilo nitalifanya, ili Baba apate kutukuzwa katika Mwana.
and whatever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Kama mkiniomba lolote kwa Jina langu nitalifanya.
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 “Kama mnanipenda, mtazishika amri zangu.
If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments;
and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever; (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.
the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it doth not behold it, nor know it; ye know it, because it abideth with you, and will be in you.
18 Sitawaacha ninyi yatima, naja kwenu.
I will not leave you bereaved; I am coming 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 beholdeth me no more; but ye will behold me, because I live, and ye will live.
20 Wakati huo mtajua ya kuwa mimi niko ndani ya Baba na ninyi mko ndani yangu na mimi niko ndani yenu.
In that day ye will know that I am in my Father, and ye 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 hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me will be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Ndipo Yuda, siyo Iskariote, akamwambia, “Bwana, itakuwaje kwamba utajidhihirisha kwetu na si kwa ulimwengu?”
Judas, not Iscariot, saith to him, And how is it, Lord, that thou art going to manifest thyself 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 answered and said to him, If any one loveth me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.
24 Mtu yeyote asiyenipenda hayashiki maneno yangu na maneno niliyowapa si yangu bali ni ya Baba aliyenituma.
He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 “Nimewaambia mambo haya yote wakati bado niko pamoja nanyi.
These things have I spoken to you, while abiding 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 Comforter, the Holy Spirit which the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things which I have said to you.
27 Amani nawaachia, amani yangu nawapa, amani hii niwapayo si kama ile ulimwengu utoayo. Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, wala msiogope.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world giveth, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
28 “Mlinisikia nikisema, ‘Ninakwenda zangu, lakini nitarudi tena.’ Kama kweli mngelinipenda mngelifurahi kwa kuwa naenda kwa Baba, kwani Baba ni mkuu kuniliko mimi.
Ye heard me say to you, I am going away, and am coming again to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced that I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.
29 Nimewaambia mambo haya kabla hayajatukia, ili yatakapotukia mpate kuamini.
And now I have told you before it hath come to pass, that when it hath come to pass ye may believe.
30 Sitasema nanyi zaidi, kwa sababu yule mkuu wa ulimwengu huu anakuja, naye hana kitu kwangu,
I shall not talk much more with you. For the prince of the world cometh, and hath 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 that as the Father gave me commandment so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
