Yohani 15
1 UYesu akati, “Une neene nsabibu ghwa kyang'haani, uNhaata ghwe nya mughunda.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
2 Ilitaafi mulyune lino nalikoma isabubu, uNhaata ikulivusia. Looli lino likoma, ikulinosia vunofu kuuti likome fiijo.
Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Umue munosivue, ulwakuva mwitiike sino nivavulile.
Now all of you are clean through the word (logos) which I have spoken unto you.
4 Mukalaghe nkate mulyune, najuune nikukalagha nkate mulyumue. Ilitaafi nalingakome isabibu nave nalili mu nsabibu, fye lulivuo, na jumue namungavombe sino ilonda uNguluve, nave namuli nkate mulyune.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can all of you, except all of you abide in me.
5 Une nili nsabibu, umue muli matafi. Juno ikukala nkate mulyune, najume mwa mwene; ujuo ivombagha sino ilonda u Nguluve, ulwakuva kisila kuuva nkate mulyune, namungavombe kimonga.
I am the vine, all of you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me all of you can do nothing.
6 Umuunhu juno naikukala nkate mulyune itaghua, ndavule ilitaafi lino nalikoma vule litaghua na kukwuma, avaanhu vihola na kunyanya.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 Nave mujigha mukukala nkate mulyume na masio ghango ghikale mulyumue, musumaghe kwa Nhaata kino mulonda, ghwope ikuvapeela.
If all of you abide in me, and my words (rhema) abide in you, all of you shall ask what all of you will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Pano mukoma fiijo ifipeke, muuva vavulanisivua vango kyang'haani. Mu uluo uNhaata ghwango ighinisivua fiijo.
Herein is my Father glorified, that all of you bear much fruit; so shall all of you be my disciples.
9 Ndavule uNhata vule anganile une, enendiiki najuune nivaghanile umue. Lino mukalaghe mu lughano lwango.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue all of you in my love. (agape)
10 Nave muvingilila sino nikuvalaghila, apuo mukukala mu lughano lwango, ndavule une vule nikusivingilila sino uNhaata andaghiile na kukukala mu lughano lwake.
If all of you keep my commandments, all of you shall abide in my love; (agape) even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (agape)
11 Nivavulile isi kuuti muuve nu lukeelo ndavule une, kange muuve nu lukeelo uluvaha fiijo.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 Lino nikuvalaghila kuuti mughananghe ndavule une vule nivaghanile umue.
This is my commandment, That all of you love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Nakwale umuunhu unya lughano kukila ulu, ulwa kuuti, itavule uvwumi vwake vwimila umanyaani ghwake.
Greater love (agape) has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Nave muvomba sino nivalaghiile, muuva vamanyani vango.
All of you are my friends, if all of you do whatsoever I command you.
15 Lino nanikutambula vakami vango, ulwakuva unkami naivomba sino ivomba untwa ghwake. Looli nikuvatambula umue kuuti muli vamanyaani vango, ulwakuva nivavulile sooni sino nipuliike kuhuma kwa Nhaata.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Umue namulyasalwile une, looli une nilyavasalwile umue na kukuvasuung'ha kuvomba sino ilonda uNguluve, kuuti, kino mukunsuuma umwene mu litavua lyango avapelaghe.
All of you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that all of you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever all of you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 Lino nikuvalaghila umue kuuti mughananaghe.
These things I command you, that all of you love one another.
18 Nave avaanhu ava mu iisi muno, vikuvakalalila umue mukagulaghe kuuti valyatalile kukung'halalila une.
If the world hate you, all of you know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 Mwale muuve vaanhu va mu iisi muno, avaanhu avuo vaale vikuvaghana, ulwakuva muli vaanhu vaave. Neke umue nivasalwile kuhuma mu iisi muno, lino umue namuli va mu iisi. Mu uluo avaanhu ava mu iisi vikuvakalalila.
If all of you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because all of you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Mukumbukaghe ilisio lino nilyavavulile kuuti, Unkami nam'baha kukila untwa ghwake.' Lino, nave vakamhumwisie une, najumue vikuvapumusyagha, nave vakitiike imbulanisio sango, nasi siinu vikwitikagha.
Remember the word (logos) that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, (logos) they will keep your also.
21 Vikuvavombelagha isio sooni vwimila vwa kukumbingilila une ulwakuva navammanyile juno asung'hile une.
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 Naale nileke kukwisa kukuvavuula, navaale viiva vahosi, neke lino navangakaane vwimila uvuhosi vwave.
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 Umuunhu juno ikung'halalila une, ikunkalalila na ju Nhaata.
He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 Nivombile ifidegho ifivaha, fino nambe muunhu na aghelile kuvomba, vaale valeke kukufyagha, ngale vasila makole. Nambe vafyaghile fyoni nivombile, vajiighe vikung'halalila une naju Nhaata.
If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 Isio sivombeka mulwa kukwilanisia aMalembe aMimike ghano ghiiti, 'Vakang'halaliile vuvule.'
But this comes to pass, that the word (logos) might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 Nikunsuung'ha kulyumue uNtangili kuhuma kwa Nhaata. Untangili ujuo ghwe Mhepo juno ihufia uvwakyang'aani, umwene ikwolekagha imhola sango.
But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit (pneuma) of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 Najumue mukwolekagha imhola sango, ulwakuva muli palikimo nuune kuhuma ye nitengula imbombo.
And all of you also shall bear witness, because all of you have been with me from the beginning.
