John 15
1 I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.
“Nene ndi mzabibu wa chakaka na Dadi wangu mwene ndi mulimaji.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear.
Lipanda loloha mugati yangu langapambika matunda mwene akuliwusa, na lipanda loloha lelipambika akulikita livyayi bwina muni lipambikayi neju.
3 Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:
Nyenye mmali kunyamba ndava lilovi lenavajovili lila.
4 Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide.
Mtama mugati yangu, na nene nitama mugati yinu. Ngati lipanda nakuhotola kupapimbika lene ngati livili lepi palihina, mewawa nyenye nakuhotola kupambika ngati mutama lepi mugati ya nene.”
5 I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing.
Nene ndi mzabibu, na nyenye ndi mambanda. Mweitama mugati yangu, na nene nivyayi mugati yaki, mwenuyo ipambika gamahele, muni changali nene nakuhotola kuhenga chochoha.
6 If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them, —and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned.
Mundu ngati itama lepi mugati yangu yati itagiwa kuvala ngati lipanda chelitagiwa kuvala na kuyuma. Lipanda ngati lenilo vandu vakulinonga na kulitaga pamotu litinyikayi.
7 If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you.
Ngati nyenye mwitama mugati yangu na malovi gangu yati gitama mugati yinu, muyupa chindu chochoha chemwigana yati mwipewa.
8 Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
Ukulu wa Dadi wangu ulangasika ngati nyenye mwipambika matunda gamahele na kuvya vawuliwa vangu.
9 Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.
Nene nikuvagana nyenye ngati Dadi cheaniganili nene. Mtama muuganu wangu.
10 If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love, —just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love.
Mwakayidakila mihilu yangu yati itama mugati yangu, ngati nene cheniyidakili malagizu ga Dadi wangu na kutama muuganu waki.
11 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.
Nivajovili mambu genaga muni luheku lwangu lutama mugati yinu, na luheku lwinu lutimila.
12 This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.
Mihilu yangu ndi iyi: Mgananayi, ngati chenikuvagana nyenye.
13 Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.
Kawaka mundu mweavi na uganu mkulu neju kuliku uwu, wa mundu kuwusa wumi waki ndava ya vankozi vaki.
14 Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.
Nyenye vankozi vangu mwakahenga chenivalagiza.
15 No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you.
Nakuvakemela kavili vehengaji, muni mtangatila imanya lepi cheikita mtopeswa waki. Nambu nyenye nivakemili vankozi, ndava muni goha genayuwini kwa Dadi wangu nivajovili.
16 Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit, —and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you.
Nyenye nakunihagula nene, nambu nene ndi mwenivahagwili na kuvatuma mhamba mkapambika matunda ndi mahengu gabwina gegisigalia, mwene Dadi ahotola kuvapela chindu chochoa chemwiyupa kwa liina langu.
17 These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
Hinu, muhilu wangu ukulu ndi wenuwu mgananayi.
18 If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated.
Ngati vandu va mulima vakuvayomela nyenye, mkoto kukosiwa kuvya vakuniyomela nene kwakona kuvayomela nyenye.
19 If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.
Ngati nyenye kuvya vandu va pamulima, mulima ngauvaganili nyenye ngati vandu vaki. Nambu ndava nyenye vandu lepi va pamulima, ndi nene nivahagwili kuhuma pamulima, ndava ya genago vandu va mulima vakuvayomela.
20 Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute, —If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep.
Mkumbuka lilovi lila lenivajovili, mtangatila lepi mkulu kuliku mtopeswa waki. Yakavya vanig'aisi nene, mewawa vakuvang'aisa na nyenye, ngati malovi gangu vagakamwili mewa vakugakamula na malovi ginu.
21 But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
Nambu genaga goha vakuvakitila ndava nyenye mukunisadika nene muni mwavandu vangu, ndava vakummanya lepi yula mweanitumili.
22 Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin.
Ngati nabweli lepi na kulongela navu, ngavavalangiwi lepi vakumbudila Chapanga, nambu hinu nakuhotola kujova kuvya vambudili lepi Chapanga.
23 He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.
Mundu yoyoha mweakuniyomela nene, mewawa akumyomela Dadi wangu.
24 Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Ngati nihengili lepi kwavi mambu gangahengeka na mundu yungi kwavi, ngavavalangiwi lepi vambudili Chapanga, nambu hinu vagaweni gachinamtiti genihengili ndi vaniyomili nene mewawa vamuyomili Dadi wangu.
25 But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled—They hated me without cause.
Nambu vahengili lijambu lenili muni malovi gegayandikwi mu Malagizu gatimilayi! “Vaniyomili waka!”
26 Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me;
Peibwela mtangatila mwenuyo mwenikumtuma kwinu kuhuma kwa Dadi, mwenuyo ndi Mpungu Msopi mweakuvajovela uchakaka kumvala Chapanga. Yati nikumtuma kwinu kuhuma kwa Dadi, mwene yati akuvajovela kunivala nene.
27 And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
Nyenye mewa yati mukuvajovela vandu kunivala nene ndava muvi na nene kuhumila pakutumbula.
