John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
Nenga na mzabibu wa wolo kweli, na tate bango nga mkulima wa mzabibu.
2 Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Kila tawi nkati yango lyabile lipambika kwa matunda, ni kulisafisha kila tawi lyabile ulibeleka tunda uliondoa ili kuwa liweze kubeleka muno.
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Mwenga tayari mwabile safi kwa sababu ya ujumbe wabile niamakiye tayari. Mtame nkati yango, na nenga nkati yinu.
4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
Kati tawi lya liweza kwaa kupambika kichake ilamana ubile mu'mzabibu, kadhalika ni mwenga, mana mutami kwaa nkati yango.
5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
Nenga na mzabibu; mwenga mwa matawi. Ywadumiye nkati yango ni nenga nkati yake, mundu ywoo alowa pambika matunda ganyansima, kwa mana bila nenga muweza kwaa panga likowe lolote.
6 If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
Mana itei mundu atama kwaa nkati yango, alowa tombokelwa kati tawi ni kukauka; bandu ugakusanya matawi ni kugaboywa mu'mwoto, ni teketea.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
Mana itei mwadumu nkati yango, na kati maneno yango yatidumu nkati yinu, mulobe lolote mwamulipala, ni nenga mwalowa pangilwa.
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
Mu'lee tate bango atitukuzwa, kwamba mwapambika matunda yanyansima ni kuwa ni anapunzi bango.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Kati tate bango ywanipendile nenga pia niapendike mwenga; mudumu mu'lipendo lyango.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
Mana itei mwaikamwa amri yango, mwalowa dumu mu'lipendo lyango kati niikamwile amri ya tate bango na kudumu mu'lipendo lyake.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Niabayite makowe aga kwinu ili kuwa puraha yango ibe nkati yinu ili puraha yinu ipangike kuwa timilifu.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
Ayee nga amri yango, kuwa mpendane bene kwa bene kati yaniwapendile mwenga.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Ntopo mundu ywabile ni upendo nkolo kuliko woo, kuwa agaboywe maisha gake kwa ajili ya mbwiga bake.
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
Mwenga mwa mbwiga bango mwalowa panga goti yaniamakiaye nenga.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
Niakema kwaa amanda ajui chelo chaapangite Ngwana wake. Niakemile mwenga mambwiga, kwa sababu niamakie makowe yoti yabile niayowine kuoma kwa Tate.
16 You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Munichawa kwaa nenga, ila nenga niachawile mwenga ni kuabeka muyende pambika matunda, ni litunda linu lipate tama. Ibile nyoo ili chochote cha mukiloba kwa Tate kwa lina lyango, alowa kuwapeya.
17 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
Makowe aga niaagize mwenga, kuwa mpendane kila mundu ni ywenge.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
Kati ulimwengu utabachukia, mtange kuwa unichukiite nenga kabla kubachukia mwenga.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Kati mwabile ba ulimwengu, ulimwengu ulowa kubapenda kati wa kwao. Lakini kwa kuwa mwenga mwa ulimwengu kwaa ni kwa kuwa niachawile kuoma mu'ulimwengu ni kwa ajili yee ulimwengu ubachukyanga.
20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
Mulikombokyange neno lyaniamakiye, “Mmanda nga nkolo kwaa kuliko ngwana wake,'Mana itei balinitesa nenga, walowa kubatesa ni mwenga; kati batikulikamwa neno lyango, bangelikamwa ni lya kwinu.
21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
Mubapangiye makowe aga yoti kwaajili ya lina lyango kwa kuwa muntangite kwaa yolo ywanitumile.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Mana niisile kwaa ni kuamakiya, bapangite kwaa sambi; lakini nambeambe babile ni udhuru kwa ambi yabe.
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
Ywanichukyange nenga umchukiya ni Tate.
24 If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.
Mana itei nipangite kwaa kazi nkati ya bembe ambayo ntopo yumo ywaipanga, babile kwaa ni sambi, lakini nambeambe bapangite yoti yanaibele babweni na batinichukyanga nenga ni Tate bango.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
Alee lipangite ili neno litimye ambalo liandikilwe mu'saliya yabe:'Banichukyanga nenga bila sababu.'
26 “When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
Muda mfariji atiisa, ywabilenimtumile kwinu kuoma kwa Tate, ayee nga, Roho wa kweli, ywabile abokile kwa Tate, alowa kunishuhudia.
27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Mwenga mwanishuhudia kwa sababu nibile pamope ni nenga tangu mwanzo.
