Yohana 15
1 Nene na mzabibu ghwa bhukweli, ni dadi jhangu ndo n'kulima ghwa mizabibu.
I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Kila litafi mugati mwa nene ambalyo lihogola lepi litunda libhosibhwa ili libhwesiyi kuhogola zaidi.
Every branch in me that beareth no fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he pruneth it clean, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Muenga tayari mujhele mwebhanofu kwandabha jha bhujumbe ambabho ni bhajobhili.
Ye are already clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Mtamayi mgati mwa nene ni nene mwa muenga. Kama litafi kyalibhwesyalepi kuhogola lyene palibelikujha mu mzabibu, kadhalika namu, mkabelayi kutama mwanene.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine: so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 Nene na mzabibu; muenga matafi. Jhaibetakudumu mugati mwa nene nani nibetakujha mwa muene, munu ojho ihogola matunda mini, kwa kujha pasipo nene wibhwesyalepi kubhomba khenu kyokyoha khela.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, this person beareth much fruit: because without me ye can do nothing.
6 Ikajhiajhi munu jhejhioha ibetalepi kusalila mugati mwa nene ibetakutaghibhwa kama litafi ni kujhoma; bhanu bhibhonganya matafi ni kutagha mu muoto, ni kuteketela.
If any man abide not in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 Ikajhiayi mwibetakudumu mugati mwa nene, ni kama malobhi ghangu ghatamisyi mwa muenga, mus'okayi lyolyoha lya mwilonda namu mwibetakubhombibhwa.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done for you.
8 Katika e'le Dadi jhangu atukusibhu, kwamba mwihogola matunda mingi ni kwamba bhanafunzi bhanene.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye should bring forth much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 Kama dadijhangu kya aniganili nene, nani pia nibhaganili muenga; mudumumuayi mu lipendo lyangu.
Just as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.
10 Ikajhiajhi mwibeta kusikamula amri sya nene, mwibeta kutamisya mu lipendo lya muene.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and as I abide in his love.
11 Nijobhili mambo agha kwa muenga ili furaha jha nene jhijhelayi mugati mwa muenga ili kwamba furaha jha muenga jhibhombekayi kujha timilifu.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full.
12 Ejhe ndo amri jha nene, kwamba mgananayi jhomu kwa jhomu kama kyanibhaganili nene.
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, just as I have loved you.
13 Ajhelepi munu jha ajhe ni bhupendo mbaha kuliko obho, kujha aghapisiayi maisha gha muene kwandabha jha bhalongomunu.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Muenga bhalongobhangu kama mwibetakubhomba ghala ghanibhalaghisi.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever things I command you.
15 Nikabhakuta lepi bhatumwa, kwa kujha n'tumwa amanyilepi khela kyaibhomba bwana ghwa muene. Nibhakutili muenga marafiki, kwa ndabha nibhajobhili muenga mambo ghoha ambagho ni ghap'eliki kuhomela kwa Dadi.
I no more call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his master is doing: but I have called you friends because I have made known to you all things which I have heard of my Father.
16 Mwanichuguili lepi nene, bali nene nabhachaguili muenga ni kubhabheka mlotayi kuhogola matunda ni litunda lya muega libhwesyayi kutama. E'le lijhele naha ili kyamwis'oka kwa Dadi kwa lihina lya nene, ibetakubhapela.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that ye should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be permanent: that so whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 Mambo agha nikabhalaghisya, kujha mgananayi khila munu ni njhinu.
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 Kamam ulimwengu ghwibetakubhadadila, mmanyayi kujha bhwanidadila nene kabla jha kubhadadila muenga.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you.
19 Kama ngamujhele bha ulimwengu, ulimwengu gha ubhaganili kama ghwa bhene; Lakini kwa ndabha bhaulimwengu lepi na kwa ndabha nabhachaguili kuh'omela ku ulimwengu, kwandabha ejhe ulimwengu ukabhachukila.
If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have elected you out of the world, for this very cause the world hateth you.
20 Mkhombokayi lilobhi lya nabhajobhili, 'N'tumwa mbaha lepi kuliko bwana ghwa muene.' Ikajhelayi bhanitesisi nene, bhibetakubhatesya ni muenga pia; kama bhakamuili lilobhi lya nene, ngabhalikamuili lya jhomu pia.
Remember the word which I spake unto you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have observed my words, they will observe your’s also.
21 Bhibetakubhabhombela mbombo agha ghoha kwandabha jha lihina lya nene, kwa ndabha bhammanyilepi jhola jhaanilaghisi.
But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 Kama nganihidilepi ni kubhajobhela, ngabhajhelepi bhabhomba dhambi; lakini henu bhajhelepi ni udhuru kwa dhambi sya bhene.
Had I not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Jhaakanida dila nene akan'dadila ni Dadi pia.
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 Ikajhiajhi nibhombilepi mbombo miongoni mwa bhene ambayo ajhelepi hata mmonga jha ajhibhombili, ngabhajhele bhaduli dhambi; lakini henu bhabhombili ghoha mabhele bhabhuene na bhanidadili nene ni Dadi jhangu.
If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 E'le lihomlea ili lilobhi litimilayi ambalyo lilembibhu mu sheria sya bhene: 'Bhakanidadila nene bila sababu.'
But it is in order that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, “They hated me without a cause.”
26 Wakati mfariji ahidili, ambajhe nikandaghisya kwa muenga kuhomela kwa Dadi, ojho ndo, Roho ghwa kweli, ambajhe ihomela kwa Dadi, ibetakunishuhudila.
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 Namu pia mwibetakunishuhudila kwa ndabha nijhele pamonga nani kuhomela kubhwandelu.
and ye too shall bear your testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
