John 14
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi, “Myoyo yenu kaitashupika. Kamushomani Lesa, kayi mushome nenjame.
2 In my Father’s Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.
munga'nda muli Bata muli bipinda bingi yakwikalamo necabula kubeco, nendalamwambila. Ndenga akumubambila misena.
3 And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I shall return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
Lino ndakapwisha kumubambila misena, ninkabwele kwisakumumanta, kwambeti mukabenga nkweshinkabenga.
4 and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
Cakubinga nkondenga mukwinshi, nenshila muyinshi.”
5 “We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas; “so how can we know the way?”
Tomasi walambeti, “Mwami, nkatukwinshi nkomulenga, nomba nshila yakwilako ngatuyinshibaconi?”
6 Jesus answered: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “ame njame nshila, kayi njame cancine ncine nebuyumi. Paliya muntu welakuya kuli Bata, kwakubula kupitila muli njame.
7 If you had recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.”
Pakwinga nemunjishi, nemwabeshiba Bata. Kufumina lelo mulabenshibi kayi mulababono.”
8 “Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we shall be satisfied.”
Filipo walambeti, “Mwami tulesheni Bata kwambeti tushome.”
9 “Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘Show us the Father’?
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Filipo, ndekala nenu cindi citali, nomba nkotana unjinshiba? Labono ame elababono Bata. Nomba nicani ulambangeti, ‘Kotulesha Baiso?
10 Do not you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work.
Sena nkaulashomonga kwambeti ame nkute kwikala muli Bata, kayi Bata bakute kwikala muli njame? Maswi ngonkute kumwambila nkakute kufuma kuli njame ndenka sobwe, nsombi Bata abakute kwikala muli njame, endibo bakute kwinsa bintu byonsebi.
11 Believe me,” he said to them all, “when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me on account of the work itself.
Kamunshomani kwambeti ame nkute kwikala muli Bata kayi Bata bakute kwikala muli njame. Nanteco, shomani ncito shakame.
12 In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
Cakubinga ndambilishingeti uyo lanshomonga mulimo ngondenshinga nendi nakawinse, pakwinga ndenga kuli Bata neco nendi nakense byapita pali ibi.
13 Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
Neco ciliconse ncoshimukasenge muLina lyakame, ninkacinse kwambeti Bata bakapewe bulemu kupitila mu Mwanabo.
14 If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.
Ninkense ciliconse ncoshi mukasenge muLina lyakame.”
15 If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
“Na munsuni, konkelani milawo yakame.
16 and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always — the Spirit of Truth. (aiōn g165)
Lino ninkasenge Bata kwambeti, bakamupe weshikumunyamfwilisha naumbi uyo eshakekale nenu masuba onse. (aiōn g165)
17 The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
Mushimu Uswepa nukamuleshe cancine ncine. Cishi nkacela kumutambula sobwe, pakwinga nkacimubono kayi nkacimwinshi. Nsombi amwe mumwinshi, pakwinga ukute kwikala muli njamwe, kayi nakekale muli njamwe kwacindi conse.
18 I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
“Nteshi ndimushiyeti bana banshiwa. Ninkese kayi kuli njamwe.
19 In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
Kulashalowa kacindi kang'ana, cishi capanshi nteshi cikambonepo nsombi amwe nimukambone. Pakwinga ndemuyumi, nenjamwe nimukabe bayumi.
20 At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
Pabusuba ubo nimukenshibeti Bata, nenjame tuli muntu umo, kayi amwe nenjame tuli muntu umo.
21 It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
“Muntu latambulunga milawo yakame nekwikonka, endiye unsuni. Kayi uyo unsuni ame, Bata nibakamusune. Nenjame ninkamusune, kayi nakenshibe ncombele.”
22 “What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Yuda naumbi, kutamba usa Yuda Iskaliote sobwe, walamwipusheti, “Mwami nomba ngamuliyubululaconi kuli njafwe kwakubula kuliyubulula ku cishi capanshi?”
23 “Whoever loves me,” Jesus answered, “will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
Yesu walambeti, uyo unsuni, nakakonke ciyisho cakame. Nabo Bata nibakamusune, ame ne Bata nitukekale mulyendiye.
24 He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.
Muntu utansuni, nteshakakonkele ciyisho cakame. Maswi awa ngomulanyumfunga nteyo akame sobwe, nsombi na Bata balantuma.
25 I have told you all this while still with you,
Ndamwambilililimo nkandicili nenjamwe.
26 but the Helper — the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name — he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
Nsombi usa weshikunyamfwilisha, Mushimu Uswepa uyo Bata ngoshibakatume mulina lyakame, endiye weshakamwiyishe byonse, kayi nakamwanusheni byonse ibyo mbyondalamwambila kandicili nenjamwe.
27 Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
Ndamupanga lumuno. Lumuno ndondelela kumupa. Ndamupanga lumuno lwapusana nelumuno ndocela kupa cishi capanshi. Neco myoyo yenu itashupika nambi kutina.
28 You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
Mulanyumfu mpondamwambilangeti, ndenga, nsombi ndakesanga kayi kuli njamwe. Nemunsuni, nemulakondwa kwambeti ndenga kuli Bata, pakwinga Bata bampita.
29 And this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
Ndamwambilililimo bintu ibi nkabitana binshika, kwambeti byakenshika, mukashome.
30 I shall not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
Nteshi mpitilishe kwamba nenjamwe pakwinga Satana mwami wa cishi capanshi, lesanga. Nomba uliya ngofu palinjame,
31 but he is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
Nomba bantu bonse bela kwinshiba kwambeti ame nsuni Bata, weco ndenshinga ncobalang'ambila. “Lino kamunyamuka twenga.”
