< John 15 >

1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
Mbe anye ni mujabibu gunu guli chimali, lata wani niwe omulimi wo mujabibu.
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.
Bhuli tabhi elyo litakwibhula litwasho kalisoshako, bhuli tabhi elyolibhuye litwasho kalichoma koleleko litule okwibhula munu.
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Emwe mwamalile okubha bhelu okubha emusango gunu namalile okubhabwila.
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.
Mwiyanje amwi nanye, nanye amwi nanye. alabha litabhi elyolitakutulakwibhula lyanyele likabha kumujabibu, emwemukalema okubha amwi nanye.
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.
Anye ni mujabibu, emwe ni matabhi. Unu kekomesha okubha nanye, anye ona kumwene omunu unu kebhula amatwasho mafu, okubha atali anye mutakutula okukola musango gwona.
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.
Ikabha omunu wona akalema okubha nanye, keswa lwalitabhi noma; Abhanu abhagakofya amatabhi no kugesa mumulilo ni galungula.
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.
Ikabha omwikomesha kubha nanye, ne misango jani jikakomela kwemwe, musabhega lyona elyo omwenda nemwe omukolelwa.
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
Ku gunu lata wani kakusibha ati, omwibhula amatwasho mafu no mubha bheingisibwa bhani.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Labha Lata wani anyendele anye, anye ona nimbenda amwe; nimwekomeshe mulyenda lyani.
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.
Mbe mukagwata ebhilagilo bhani, omukomela kulyenda lyani lwa kuyto nigwatile ebhilagilo bya lata wani ni mwikomeshe mulenda lyaye.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Nabhabwila emisango jinu kwemwe koleleki likondelwa lyani libhe kwemwe no kukondelya kwemwe kufule.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
Chinu nicho echilagilo chani ati mwendane emwe kwa bhene lwa kutyo nibhendele amwe.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Atalio munu oyo alinelyenda ekulu kukila linu, ati asoshe obhuanga bhaye kulwa bhasani bhaye.
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
Emwe muli bhasani bhani alabha mukola ganu enibhalagilila.
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.
Nitabhatoga bhagaya, kwokubha omugaya atakumenya chiliya echokakola esebhugenyi waye. Nabhatoga emwe bhasani, okubha nabhamenyesha emisango jona ejo nunguwe okusoka ku Lata.
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.
Emwe muntasolele anye, nawe anye nabhasolele emwe no kubhatula mugende mwibhule amatwasho, na litwasho lyemwe libhone okwiyanja.
17 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
Linu lilikutya chonachona chinu mulasabha ku Lata kwa lisina lyani, kabhayanaga. Emisango jinu enibhalagilila ati, mwendane bhuli munu no wejabho
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
Labha isi ilabhasokaga, mumenye ati yasokele anye ichali okubhasoka emwe.
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.
Alabha mwakabheye bha isi, isi yakabhendele abhewabho; Nawe okubha emwe mutali bha isi no kubha nibhasolele okusoka musi, kulwejo isi ibhasokele.
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.
Mwichukega omusango gunu nabhabwiliye ati, 'omugaya atali mukulu kukila esebhugenyi waye; Alabha bhanyasishe anye, bhalibhanyasha emwe; alabha bhagwatile omusango gwani, bhakagwatile gwemwe.
21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
Bhalibhakolelaga emisango jinu jona kwalisina lyani okubha bhatakumenya unu antumele.
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.
Alabha nitejile ninaika bhakabheye bhakolele echibhibhi; Nawe woli bhatana chakuloma kwe bhibhibhi byebwe.
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
Unu kasoka anye kamusoka Lata ona.
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.
Akabha Ntakolele milimu mubhumwi bwebhe atalio umwi atakolele, bhakabheye ne chibhibhi; Nawe woli bhakolele gona gabhili bhamalola ni bhasoka anye na Lata wani.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
linu lisokele omusongo gukumile linu lyandikilwe mu bhilagilo byebwe; 'Bhasokele anye kutyo ela
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.
Omwanya gunu omusilisha ejile unu natuma kwemwe okusoka Ku Lata, unu niwe, Mwoyo gwechimali, unu kasoka Ku Lata, kabhambambalila.
27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Emwe ona omubhambambalila okubha muli amwi nanye kubwambilo
