Yohana 14
1 “Usiruhusu moyo wako kuwa katika mahangaiko. Unamwamini Mungu niamini pia na mimi.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 Katika nyumba ya Baba yangu kuna makazi mengi ya kukaa; kama isingekuwa hivyo, ningekuwa nimekuambia, kwa vile ninakwenda kukuandalia mahali kwa ajili yako.
In my Father's house there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
3 Kama nikienda na kuwaandalia mahali, nitakuja tena kuwakaribisha kwangu, ili mahali nilipo pia nanyi muwepo.
So when I go, it is to prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.
4 Mnajua njia mahali ninakoenda.”
You know where I am going, and you know the way.”
5 Tomaso alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, hatujui mahali unakoenda; Je! Tunawezaje kuijua njia?
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where yoʋ are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Yesu alimwambia, “Mimi ndiye njia, kweli, na uzima; hakuna awezaye kuja kwa Baba isipokuwa kupitia kwangu.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 Kama mngeli nijua mimi, mngalikuwa mnamjua na Baba yangu pia; kuanzia sasa na kuendelea mnamjua na mmeshamuona yeye.”
If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philipo alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba, na hivyo itakuwa imetutosha.”
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
9 Yesu akamwambia, “Sijakuwa pamoja nanyi kwa muda mrefu, na bado hunijui mimi, Philipo? Yeyote aliyeniona mimi amemwona Baba; Jinsi gani unasema, 'Tuonyeshe Baba'?
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long and still yoʋ do not know me, Philip? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can yoʋ say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Hamuamini kuwa mimi ni ndani ya Baba, na Baba yu ndani yangu? Maneno ninayoyasema kwenu sisemi kwa kusudi langu mwenyewe; badala yake, ni Baba anayeishi ndani yangu anayetenda kazi yake.
Do yoʋ not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who abides in me does his works.
11 Niamini mimi, kwamba niko ndani ya Baba, na Baba yuko ndani yangu; kadhalika niamini mimi kwa sababu ya kazi zangu hasa.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if not, believe me because of the works themselves.
12 Amini, amini, nawaambia, yeye aniaminiye, mimi kazi zile nizifanyazo, atazifanya kazi hizi pia; na atafanya hata kazi kubwa kwasababu ninakwenda kwa Baba.
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do. He will even do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 Chochote mkiomba katika jina langu, nitafanya ili kwamba Baba aweze kutukuzwa katika Mwana.
Whatever you ask in my name I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Kama mkiomba kitu chochote katika jina langu, hilo nitafanya.
If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
15 Kama mkinipenda, mtazishika amri zangu.
“If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 Na nitamwomba Baba, Naye atawapa Msaidizi mwingine ili kwamba aweze kuwa pamoja nanyi milele, (aiōn g165)
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to abide with you forever— (aiōn g165)
17 Roho wa kweli. Ulimwengu hauwezi kumpokea yeye kwa sababu haumuoni, au kumjwa yeye. hata hivyo ninyi, mnamjua yeye, kwani anakaa pamoja nayi na atakuwa ndani yenu.
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he abides with you and will be in you.
18 Sitawaacha peke yenu; Nitarudi kwenu.
“I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming back to you.
19 Kwa muda kitambo, ulimwengu hautaniona tena, lakini ninyi mwaniona. Kwa sababu ninaishi, nanyi mtaishi pia.
Yet a little while and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 Katika siku hiyo mtajua kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba, na kwamba ninyi mko ndani yangu, na kwamba mimi niko ndani yenu.
On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
21 Yeyote azishikaye amri zangu na kuzitenda, ndiye mmoja ambaye anipenda mimi; na ambaye anipenda mimi atapendwa na Baba yangu, na Nitampenda na nitajionyesha mimi mwenyewe kwake.”
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
22 Yuda (siyo Iskariote) akamwambia Yesu, “Bwana, Je! Ni nini kinatokea kwamba utajionyesha mwenyewe kwetu na siyo kwa ulimwengu?
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that yoʋ are about to manifest yoʋrself to us and not to the world?”
23 Yesu alijibu akamwambia, “Kama yeyote danipendaye, atalishika neno langu. Baba yangu atampenda, na tutakuja kwake na tutafanya makao yetu pamoja naye.
Jesus answered him, “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 Yeyote ambaye hanipendi mimi, hashiki maneno yangu. Neno ambalo mnasikia siyo langu bali la Baba ambaye alinituma.
Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 Nimeyasema mambo haya kwenu, wakati bado ninaishi miongoni mwenu.
“I have said these things to you while abiding with you.
26 Hata hivyo, Mfariji, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu, atawafundisha mambo yote na atawafanya mkumbuke yote ambayo niliyasema kwenu.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of everything I have told you.
27 Amani nawapa amani yangu ninyi. Siwapi hii kama ulimwengu utoavyo. Msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa na mahangaiko, na woga.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
28 Mlisikia vile nilivyowaambia, 'Ninaenda zangu, na nitarudi kwenu.' Kama mngelinipenda mimi, mngekuwa na furaha kwa sababu ninakwenda kwa Baba, kwa kuwa Baba ni mkuu kuliko mimi.
You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ because my Father is greater than I am.
29 Sasa nimekwisha kuwaambia kabla haijatokea ili kwamba, wakati ikitokea, mweze kuamini.
I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe.
30 Sitaongea nanyi maneno mengi, kwa kuwa mkuu wa dunia hii anakuja. Yeye hana nguvu juu yangu,
I will not talk with you much longer, for the ruler of the world is coming, but he has no power over me.
31 lakini ili kwamba ulimwengu upate kujua kwamba nampenda Baba, nafanya ambacho Baba ananiagiza mimi, kama vile alivyonipa amri. Inukeni, na tutoke mahali hapa.
Rather, I do just as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
