John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
“Neni ndo mzabibu gwa nakaka, Tati gwangu ndo mkulima.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Yomberi kawusiyaga kila lutambi lwalulera ndiri mabwajubwaju mnumba mwangu na kila lutambi lwalulera nulugulula lupati kulera nentu.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Mwenga muwera kala muherepa toziya ya mafundu ganuwafunditi.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Mwikali mngati mwangu, naneni nulikali mngati mwenu. Lutambi hapeni luleri mabwajubwaju gweka yakuwi, haluleri paluwera mumtera gwa zabibu. Ntambu iraayi hapeni mleri mabwajubwaju mpaka muweri mngati mwangu.”
5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
“Neni namzyabibu, mwenga ndo mitambi. Woseri yawawera mngati mwangu, naneni mngati mwawu, hawaleli mabwajubwaju gavuwa, pamuhera ndiri naneni hapeni mtendi shintu shoseri.
6 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.
Muntu yoseri pakalikala ndiri mngati mwangu kaswa kunja gambira lutambi lawalwasa kunja mpaka linyali, mitambi yeni ijojinirwa na kwasirwa pamotu, yeni ndo ilunguziwa.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Pamulikala mngati mwaneni na visoweru vyaneni paviwera mngati mwenu, hamluwi shoseri shamfira na hampati.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Ukwisa wa Tati gwangu hawuwoneki pamulera mabwajubwaju na kwa njira ayi hamuweri wafundwa waneni.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
Nukufireni mwenga gambira Tati ntambu yakanfira neni, mulikali muwundama wa neni.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
Handa pamjimila malagaliru gangu, hamulikali mu muwundama waneni, gambira neni ntambu yanjimiriti malagaliru ga Tati gwangu na nulikali muwufiru wakuwi.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
“Nukugambirani vitwatira avi su nemeleru yangu iweri mngati mwenu na nemeleru ya mwenga ikamiliki.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Lilagaliru lyangu ndo ali, mulifiri weni, ntambu yanuwafira mwenga.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Mafiliru makulu nentu kwa muntu kuulanguziya kwa waganja wakuwi ndo kuulaviya ukomu wakuwi kwa womberi.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Mwenga ndo waganja waneni handa pamtenda shilii shanuwalagaliriti.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Mwenga hapeni nuwashemi kayi wamanda, toziya wamanda hapeni wavimani vyawatenda watuwa wawu. Kumbiti nuwashema mwenga waganja, toziya nuwagambiriti vitwatira vyoseri vyanpikaniriti kwa Tati gwangu.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Mwenga munsyagula ndiri neni, kumbiti neni ndo yanuwasyaguliti mwenga na kuwatuma mgendi mwakaleri mabwajubwaju nentu, mabwajubwaju yagalikala. Su Tati hakakupanani shoseri shamluwa mu litawu lyangu.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Su, lilagaliru lyangu kwa mwenga ndo ali, mulifiri weni kwa weni.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.
“Handa wantu wa pasipanu pawakukalalirani, mliholi kuwera wankalalira neni kwanja pamberi pa kuwakalalira mwenga.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Handa memuweriti wamu wa wantu wa pasipanu, wantu wa pasipanu wangawafiriti gambira wantu wawu weni. Kumbiti nuwasyagula mwenga kulawa pasipanu, toziya wantu wa pasipanu wawakalalira mwenga.
20 Remember the word 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, they will keep yours also.
Muliholi shilii shanuwagambiriti, ‘Wamanda hapeni waweri wakulu kuliku watuwa wawu.’ Handa wantu pawamberiti neni, hawawaberi mwenga viraa, handa wagajimiriti mafundu ganeni, hawagajimili mafundu genu viraa.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
Kumbiti womberi hawatendi vyoseri avi kwa mwenga toziya mwenga waneni, kwani wamumana ndiri ulii yakantumiti.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
Handa nganiziti ndiri na kutakula na womberi wangaweriti ndiri na vidoda, kumbiti vinu hapeni wawezi kutakula wahera vidoda.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Yakankalalira neni, kamkalalira Tati gwangu viraa.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Handa nangantenda ndiri kwawomberi vitwatira vyeni kwahera muntu yumonga yakavitenditi kala mwangaweriti ndiri na vidoda, kumbiti vinu waviwoniti vyantenditi wankalalira neni pamuhera na Tati gwangu.
25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
Ndo toziya galii gagalembitwi mu Malagaliru gawu ganakaka, ‘Wankalalira hera!’
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
“Mtanga yakiza ndo Rohu, hakagubutuli unakaka kuusu Mlungu, ndo mweni kiza kulawa kwa Tati. Hanumtumi kwa mwenga kulawa kwa Tati na hakatakuli kuusu neni.
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Mwenga viraa, hamtakuli kuusu neni, toziya muweriti pamuhera na neni kwanjira kwanja.”
