Yohana 14
1 Yesu aliwaambia, “Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu. Mwaminini Mungu, niaminini na mimi pia.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 Nyumbani mwa Baba yangu mna makao mengi; la sivyo ningalikwisha waambieni. Sasa nakwenda kuwatayarishieni nafasi.
Many mansions are in the house of my Father; but if it were not so, I would have told you; because I go to prepare a place for you.
3 Na nikienda na kuwatayarishieni nafasi, nitarudi na kuwachukueni kwangu, ili nanyi muwe pale nilipo mimi.
And if I may go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; in order that you may also be where I am.
4 Mnajua njia ya kwenda huko ninakokwenda.”
And whither I go, you know the way.
5 Thoma akamwuliza, “Bwana, hatujui unakokwenda, tutawezaje basi, kuijua hiyo njia?”
And Thomas says to Him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: and how do we know the way?
6 Yesu akamjibu, “Mimi ni njia, na ukweli na uzima. Hakuna awezaye kwenda kwa Baba ila kwa kupitia kwangu.
Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh to the Father, but through me.
7 Ikiwa mnanijua mimi mnamjua na Baba yangu pia. Na tangu sasa, mnamjua, tena mmekwisha mwona.”
If you have known me, you shall also know my Father: and henceforth you know Him and have seen Him.
8 Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba, nasi tutatosheka.”
Philip says to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Yesu akamwambia, “Filipo, nimekaa nanyi muda wote huu, nawe hujanijua? Aliyekwisha niona mimi amemwona Baba. Unawezaje basi, kusema: Tuonyeshe Baba?
Jesus says to Him, Am I so long time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? The one having seen me hath seen the Father: how do you say, Show us the Father?
10 Je, huamini kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba, naye Baba yuko ndani yangu? Maneno ninayowaambieni nyote siyasemi kwa mamlaka yangu; Baba aliye ndani yangu anafanya kazi yake.
Dost thou not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father who abideth in me doeth His own works.
11 Mnapaswa kuniamini ninaposema kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba naye Baba yuko ndani yangu. Ama sivyo, aminini kwa sababu ya mambo ninayofanya.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or if not, believe for the sake of the works themselves.
12 Kweli nawaambieni, anayeniamini atafanya mambo ninayofanya mimi; naam, atafanya hata makuu zaidi, maana nakwenda kwa Baba.
Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, shall also do the works which I am doing; and shall do greater works than these: because I go to the Father:
13 Na chochote mtakachoomba kwa jina langu nitafanya, ili Baba atukuzwe ndani ya Mwana.
and whatsoever you may ask in my name, I will do it, in order that the rather may be glorified in the Son.
14 Mkiniomba chochote kwa jina langu, nitawafanyieni.
If you may ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.
15 “Mkinipenda mtazishika amri zangu.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you always, (aiōn g165)
17 Yeye ni Roho wa kweli. Ulimwengu hauwezi kumpokea kwa sababu hauwezi kumwona wala kumjua. Lakini ninyi mnamjua kwa sababu anabaki nanyi na yu ndani yenu.
the Spirit of truth: which the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him, nor know Him: you know Him: because He abideth with you, and shall be in you.
18 “Sitawaacha ninyi yatima; nitakuja tena kwenu.
I will not leave you orphans: I am coming to you.
19 Bado kidogo nao ulimwengu hautaniona tena, lakini ninyi mtaniona; na kwa kuwa mimi ni hai, nanyi pia mtakuwa hai.
Vet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.
20 Siku ile itakapofika mtajua kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba, nanyi mko ndani yangu, nami ndani yenu.
In that day you shall know that I am in the Father, you in me, and I in you.
21 Azipokeaye amri zangu na kuzishika, yeye ndiye anipendaye. Naye anipendaye mimi atapendwa na Baba yangu, nami nitampenda na kujidhihirisha kwake.”
The one having my commandments, and keeping them, he is the one loving me with divine love: the one loving me with divine love, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself unto him.
22 Yuda (si yule Iskarioti) akamwambia, “Bwana, itawezekanaje wewe kujidhihirisha kwetu na si kwa ulimwengu?”
Judas. (not Iscariot), says to Him, Lord, and how is it that you are about to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?
23 Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu akinipenda atashika neno langu, na Baba yangu atampenda, nasi tutakuja kwake na kukaa naye.
Jesus responded and said to him; If any one may love me with divine love, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our mansion with him.
24 Asiyenipenda hashiki maneno yangu. Na neno mlilosikia si langu, bali ni lake Baba aliyenituma.
The one not loving me with divine love does not keep my words: and the word which you hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me.
25 “Nimewaambieni mambo haya nikiwa bado pamoja nanyi
I have spoken these things to you, abiding with you:
26 lakini Msaidizi, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu, atawafundisheni kila kitu na kuwakumbusheni yote niliyowaambieni.
but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things, which I spoke to you.
27 “Nawaachieni amani; nawapeni amani yangu. Siwapi ninyi kama vile ulimwengu ufanyavyo. Msiwe na wasiwasi, wala msifadhaike.
My peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor afraid.
28 Mlikwisha sikia nikiwaambieni: Ninakwenda zangu, kisha nitarudi tena kwenu. Kama mngalinipenda mngalifurahi kwa sababu ninakwenda kwa Baba, maana yeye ni mkuu kuliko mimi.
You heard that I said to you, I go away, and I come to you. If you love me with divine love, you would rejoice, because I go to my Father: because the Father is greater than I.
29 Nimewaambieni haya sasa kabla hayajatokea, ili yatakapotokea mpate kuamini.
And I have now told you before it takes place, in order that, when it may come to pass, you may believe.
30 Sitasema nanyi tena mambo mengi, maana mtawala wa ulimwengu huu anakuja. Kwangu mimi hawezi kitu;
I shall no longer speak many things with you, because the prince of the world comes: and he has nothing in me;
31 lakini ulimwengu unapaswa kujua kwamba nampenda Baba, na ndiyo maana nafanya kila kitu kama Baba alivyoniamuru. Simameni, tutoke hapa!”
but in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and as He commanded, so I am doing. Arise, let us go hence.
