Yohani 15
1 UYesu akati, “Une neene nsabibu ghwa kyang'haani, uNhaata ghwe nya mughunda.
"I am the vine, and my Father the vine-grower.
2 Ilitaafi mulyune lino nalikoma isabubu, uNhaata ikulivusia. Looli lino likoma, ikulinosia vunofu kuuti likome fiijo.
"He cuts back any of my branches that bear no fruit, and prunes every fruit-bearing branch, that it may bear more.
3 Umue munosivue, ulwakuva mwitiike sino nivavulile.
"Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to 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. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine, no more can you, unless 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 you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him, bears abundant fruit; because apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Umuunhu juno naikukala nkate mulyune itaghua, ndavule ilitaafi lino nalikoma vule litaghua na kukwuma, avaanhu vihola na kunyanya.
"If any one does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers. Such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire and burned.
7 Nave mujigha mukukala nkate mulyume na masio ghango ghikale mulyumue, musumaghe kwa Nhaata kino mulonda, ghwope ikuvapeela.
"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever your will is, and it shall be yours.
8 Pano mukoma fiijo ifipeke, muuva vavulanisivua vango kyang'haani. Mu uluo uNhaata ghwango ighinisivua fiijo.
"By this is my Father glorified, by your bearing abundant fruit, and so being 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; abide in my love.
10 Nave muvingilila sino nikuvalaghila, apuo mukukala mu lughano lwango, ndavule une vule nikusivingilila sino uNhaata andaghiile na kukukala mu lughano lwake.
"If you obey my commands you will abide in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and abide in his love.
11 Nivavulile isi kuuti muuve nu lukeelo ndavule une, kange muuve nu lukeelo uluvaha fiijo.
"I have told you these things 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 command, 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 has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Nave muvomba sino nivalaghiile, muuva vamanyani vango.
"You are my friends if you do what 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.
"I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have learned from my Father.
16 Umue namulyasalwile une, looli une nilyavasalwile umue na kukuvasuung'ha kuvomba sino ilonda uNguluve, kuuti, kino mukunsuuma umwene mu litavua lyango avapelaghe.
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17 Lino nikuvalaghila umue kuuti mughananaghe.
"This is my command. to love one another. If the worlds hates you,
18 Nave avaanhu ava mu iisi muno, vikuvakalalila umue mukagulaghe kuuti valyatalile kukung'halalila une.
"do not forget that it hated me first.
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 you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for that reason 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 what I told you, ‘A slave is not better than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they have obeyed my word, they will obey yours also.
21 Vikuvavombelagha isio sooni vwimila vwa kukumbingilila une ulwakuva navammanyile juno asung'hile une.
"But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they know not Him who sent me.
22 Naale nileke kukwisa kukuvavuula, navaale viiva vahosi, neke lino navangakaane vwimila uvuhosi vwave.
"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Umuunhu juno ikung'halalila une, ikunkalalila na ju Nhaata.
"He who 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 such works as none ever did, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 Isio sivombeka mulwa kukwilanisia aMalembe aMimike ghano ghiiti, 'Vakang'halaliile vuvule.'
"And so is fulfilled the word written in their Law, ‘They hate me without cause.’
26 Nikunsuung'ha kulyumue uNtangili kuhuma kwa Nhaata. Untangili ujuo ghwe Mhepo juno ihufia uvwakyang'aani, umwene ikwolekagha imhola sango.
"When the Comforter is come whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father, he will bear witness of me;
27 Najumue mukwolekagha imhola sango, ulwakuva muli palikimo nuune kuhuma ye nitengula imbombo.
"and you to shall bear witness because you have been with me from the first.
