Yohana 14
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Yesu aliwaambia, “Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu. Mwaminini Mungu, niaminini na mimi pia.
1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.
2Nyumbani mwa Baba yangu mna makao mengi; la sivyo ningalikwisha waambieni. Sasa nakwenda kuwatayarishieni nafasi.
2In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3Na nikienda na kuwatayarishieni nafasi, nitarudi na kuwachukueni kwangu, ili nanyi muwe pale nilipo mimi.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.
4Mnajua njia ya kwenda huko ninakokwenda.”
4You know the way to the place where I am going.”
5Thoma akamwuliza, “Bwana, hatujui unakokwenda, tutawezaje basi, kuijua hiyo njia?”
5“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
6Yesu akamjibu, “Mimi ni njia, na ukweli na uzima. Hakuna awezaye kwenda kwa Baba ila kwa kupitia kwangu.
6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7Ikiwa mnanijua mimi mnamjua na Baba yangu pia. Na tangu sasa, mnamjua, tena mmekwisha mwona.”
7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
8Filipo akamwambia, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba, nasi tutatosheka.”
8Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
9Yesu akamwambia, “Filipo, nimekaa nanyi muda wote huu, nawe hujanijua? Aliyekwisha niona mimi amemwona Baba. Unawezaje basi, kusema: Tuonyeshe Baba?
9Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
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.
10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.
11Mnapaswa kuniamini ninaposema kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba naye Baba yuko ndani yangu. Ama sivyo, aminini kwa sababu ya mambo ninayofanya.
11Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.
12Kweli nawaambieni, anayeniamini atafanya mambo ninayofanya mimi; naam, atafanya hata makuu zaidi, maana nakwenda kwa Baba.
12Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
13Na chochote mtakachoomba kwa jina langu nitafanya, ili Baba atukuzwe ndani ya Mwana.
13And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14Mkiniomba chochote kwa jina langu, nitawafanyieni.
14If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.
15“Mkinipenda mtazishika amri zangu.
15If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
16Nami nitamwomba Baba naye atawapeni Msaidizi mwingine, atakayekaa nanyi milele.
16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—
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.
17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.
18“Sitawaacha ninyi yatima; nitakuja tena kwenu.
18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19Bado kidogo nao ulimwengu hautaniona tena, lakini ninyi mtaniona; na kwa kuwa mimi ni hai, nanyi pia mtakuwa hai.
19In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.
20Siku ile itakapofika mtajua kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba, nanyi mko ndani yangu, nami ndani yenu.
20On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.
21Azipokeaye amri zangu na kuzishika, yeye ndiye anipendaye. Naye anipendaye mimi atapendwa na Baba yangu, nami nitampenda na kujidhihirisha kwake.”
21Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”
22Yuda (si yule Iskarioti) akamwambia, “Bwana, itawezekanaje wewe kujidhihirisha kwetu na si kwa ulimwengu?”
22Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23Yesu akamjibu, “Mtu akinipenda atashika neno langu, na Baba yangu atampenda, nasi tutakuja kwake na kukaa naye.
23Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
24Asiyenipenda hashiki maneno yangu. Na neno mlilosikia si langu, bali ni lake Baba aliyenituma.
24Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.
25“Nimewaambieni mambo haya nikiwa bado pamoja nanyi
25All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
26lakini Msaidizi, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu, atawafundisheni kila kitu na kuwakumbusheni yote niliyowaambieni.
26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
27“Nawaachieni amani; nawapeni amani yangu. Siwapi ninyi kama vile ulimwengu ufanyavyo. Msiwe na wasiwasi, wala msifadhaike.
27Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.
28Mlikwisha sikia nikiwaambieni: Ninakwenda zangu, kisha nitarudi tena kwenu. Kama mngalinipenda mngalifurahi kwa sababu ninakwenda kwa Baba, maana yeye ni mkuu kuliko mimi.
28You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29Nimewaambieni haya sasa kabla hayajatokea, ili yatakapotokea mpate kuamini.
29And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
30Sitasema nanyi tena mambo mengi, maana mtawala wa ulimwengu huu anakuja. Kwangu mimi hawezi kitu;
30I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.
31lakini ulimwengu unapaswa kujua kwamba nampenda Baba, na ndiyo maana nafanya kila kitu kama Baba alivyoniamuru. Simameni, tutoke hapa!”
31But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.
