John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
UYesu akati, “Une neene nsabibu ghwa kyang'haani, uNhaata ghwe nya mughunda.
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.
Ilitaafi mulyune lino nalikoma isabubu, uNhaata ikulivusia. Looli lino likoma, ikulinosia vunofu kuuti likome fiijo.
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Umue munosivue, ulwakuva mwitiike sino nivavulile.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Umuunhu juno naikukala nkate mulyune itaghua, ndavule ilitaafi lino nalikoma vule litaghua na kukwuma, avaanhu vihola na kunyanya.
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.
Nave mujigha mukukala nkate mulyume na masio ghango ghikale mulyumue, musumaghe kwa Nhaata kino mulonda, ghwope ikuvapeela.
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
Pano mukoma fiijo ifipeke, muuva vavulanisivua vango kyang'haani. Mu uluo uNhaata ghwango ighinisivua fiijo.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Ndavule uNhata vule anganile une, enendiiki najuune nivaghanile umue. Lino mukalaghe mu lughano lwango.
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.
Nave muvingilila sino nikuvalaghila, apuo mukukala mu lughano lwango, ndavule une vule nikusivingilila sino uNhaata andaghiile na kukukala mu lughano lwake.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Nivavulile isi kuuti muuve nu lukeelo ndavule une, kange muuve nu lukeelo uluvaha fiijo.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
Lino nikuvalaghila kuuti mughananghe ndavule une vule nivaghanile umue.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Nakwale umuunhu unya lughano kukila ulu, ulwa kuuti, itavule uvwumi vwake vwimila umanyaani ghwake.
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
Nave muvomba sino nivalaghiile, muuva vamanyani vango.
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.
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.
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.
Umue namulyasalwile une, looli une nilyavasalwile umue na kukuvasuung'ha kuvomba sino ilonda uNguluve, kuuti, kino mukunsuuma umwene mu litavua lyango avapelaghe.
17 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
Lino nikuvalaghila umue kuuti mughananaghe.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
Nave avaanhu ava mu iisi muno, vikuvakalalila umue mukagulaghe kuuti valyatalile kukung'halalila une.
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.
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.
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.
Mukumbukaghe ilisio lino nilyavavulile kuuti, Unkami nam'baha kukila untwa ghwake.' Lino, nave vakamhumwisie une, najumue vikuvapumusyagha, nave vakitiike imbulanisio sango, nasi siinu vikwitikagha.
21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
Vikuvavombelagha isio sooni vwimila vwa kukumbingilila une ulwakuva navammanyile juno asung'hile une.
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.
Naale nileke kukwisa kukuvavuula, navaale viiva vahosi, neke lino navangakaane vwimila uvuhosi vwave.
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
Umuunhu juno ikung'halalila une, ikunkalalila na ju Nhaata.
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.
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.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
Isio sivombeka mulwa kukwilanisia aMalembe aMimike ghano ghiiti, 'Vakang'halaliile vuvule.'
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.
Nikunsuung'ha kulyumue uNtangili kuhuma kwa Nhaata. Untangili ujuo ghwe Mhepo juno ihufia uvwakyang'aani, umwene ikwolekagha imhola sango.
27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Najumue mukwolekagha imhola sango, ulwakuva muli palikimo nuune kuhuma ye nitengula imbombo.
