1Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
1Yesu aliwaambia, “Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu. Mwaminini Mungu, niaminini na mimi pia.
2In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you.
2Nyumbani mwa Baba yangu mna makao mengi; la sivyo ningalikwisha waambieni. Sasa nakwenda kuwatayarishieni nafasi.
3And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.
3Na nikienda na kuwatayarishieni nafasi, nitarudi na kuwachukueni kwangu, ili nanyi muwe pale nilipo mimi.
4And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
4Mnajua njia ya kwenda huko ninakokwenda.”
5Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
5Thoma akamwuliza, “Bwana, hatujui unakokwenda, tutawezaje basi, kuijua hiyo njia?”
6Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
6Yesu akamjibu, “Mimi ni njia, na ukweli na uzima. Hakuna awezaye kwenda kwa Baba ila kwa kupitia kwangu.
7If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him.
7Ikiwa mnanijua mimi mnamjua na Baba yangu pia. Na tangu sasa, mnamjua, tena mmekwisha mwona.”
8Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father, and it is enough for us.
8Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba, nasi tutatosheka.”
9Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou, Shew us the Father?
9Yesu akamwambia, “Filipo, nimekaa nanyi muda wote huu, nawe hujanijua? Aliyekwisha niona mimi amemwona Baba. Unawezaje basi, kusema: Tuonyeshe Baba?
10Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works.
10Je, huamini kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba, naye Baba yuko ndani yangu? Maneno ninayowaambieni nyote siyasemi kwa mamlaka yangu; Baba aliye ndani yangu anafanya kazi yake.
11Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
11Mnapaswa kuniamini ninaposema kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba naye Baba yuko ndani yangu. Ama sivyo, aminini kwa sababu ya mambo ninayofanya.
12Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do.
12Kweli nawaambieni, anayeniamini atafanya mambo ninayofanya mimi; naam, atafanya hata makuu zaidi, maana nakwenda kwa Baba.
13Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
13Na chochote mtakachoomba kwa jina langu nitafanya, ili Baba atukuzwe ndani ya Mwana.
14If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
14Mkiniomba chochote kwa jina langu, nitawafanyieni.
15If you love me, keep my commandments.
15“Mkinipenda mtazishika amri zangu.
16And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever.
16Nami nitamwomba Baba naye atawapeni Msaidizi mwingine, atakayekaa nanyi milele.
17The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him: but you shall know him; because he shall abide with you, and shall be in you.
17Yeye ni Roho wa kweli. Ulimwengu hauwezi kumpokea kwa sababu hauwezi kumwona wala kumjua. Lakini ninyi mnamjua kwa sababu anabaki nanyi na yu ndani yenu.
18I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you.
18“Sitawaacha ninyi yatima; nitakuja tena kwenu.
19Yet a little while: and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live.
19Bado kidogo nao ulimwengu hautaniona tena, lakini ninyi mtaniona; na kwa kuwa mimi ni hai, nanyi pia mtakuwa hai.
20In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
20Siku ile itakapofika mtajua kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba, nanyi mko ndani yangu, nami ndani yenu.
21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
21Azipokeaye amri zangu na kuzishika, yeye ndiye anipendaye. Naye anipendaye mimi atapendwa na Baba yangu, nami nitampenda na kujidhihirisha kwake.”
22Judas saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
22Yuda (si yule Iskarioti) akamwambia, “Bwana, itawezekanaje wewe kujidhihirisha kwetu na si kwa ulimwengu?”
23Jesus answered, and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our abode with him.
23Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu akinipenda atashika neno langu, na Baba yangu atampenda, nasi tutakuja kwake na kukaa naye.
24He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard, is not mine; but the Father’s who sent me.
24Asiyenipenda hashiki maneno yangu. Na neno mlilosikia si langu, bali ni lake Baba aliyenituma.
25These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you.
25“Nimewaambieni mambo haya nikiwa bado pamoja nanyi
26But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.
26lakini Msaidizi, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu, atawafundisheni kila kitu na kuwakumbusheni yote niliyowaambieni.
27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
27“Nawaachieni amani; nawapeni amani yangu. Siwapi ninyi kama vile ulimwengu ufanyavyo. Msiwe na wasiwasi, wala msifadhaike.
28You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me, you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
28Mlikwisha sikia nikiwaambieni: Ninakwenda zangu, kisha nitarudi tena kwenu. Kama mngalinipenda mngalifurahi kwa sababu ninakwenda kwa Baba, maana yeye ni mkuu kuliko mimi.
29And now I have told you before it comes to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe.
29Nimewaambieni haya sasa kabla hayajatokea, ili yatakapotokea mpate kuamini.
30I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not any thing.
30Sitasema nanyi tena mambo mengi, maana mtawala wa ulimwengu huu anakuja. Kwangu mimi hawezi kitu;
31But that the world may know, that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandment, so do I: Arise, let us go hence.
31lakini ulimwengu unapaswa kujua kwamba nampenda Baba, na ndiyo maana nafanya kila kitu kama Baba alivyoniamuru. Simameni, tutoke hapa!”
