Johani 14

¹Moyo yenyu irege kumanikidzwa; tendai kunaMwari, mutende vo kwandiri.Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

²Mumba maBaba vangu munenzvimbo zhinji dzokugara; dai kusaiva kudaro, ndingadai ndaikuvudzai; nokuti ndinoenda kundokugadzirirai pokugara.In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

³Kana ndaenda kundokugadzirirai pokugara, ndinozovuya zve, ndikugamuchirei kwandiri; kuti apo pandiri, nemi mugovapo vo.And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

⁴Pandinoenda, munopaziva nenzira munoiziva.And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

⁵Tomasi akati kwaari: Ishe, hatizivi pamunoenda; nzira tingaiziva seiko?Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

⁶Jesu akati kwaari: Ndini nzira, nezvokwadi, novupenyu; hapana munhu unovuya kuna Baba, asi nokwandiri.Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

⁷Dai makanga muchindiziva, mungadai maiziva vo Baba vangu; kubva zvino munovaziva, makavaona.If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

⁸Firipo akati kwaari: Ishe, tiratidzei Baba, zvigotiringana.Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

⁹Jesu akati kwaari: Ndakava nemi nguva refu yakadai, ko hauzati wandiziva here, Firipo? Wandivona ini, wavona Baba; zvino unoreva seiko, uchiti: Tiratidzei Baba?Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

¹⁰Hautendi here kuti ndiri munaBaba, naBaba vari mandiri? Mashoko andinoreva kwamuri, handiarevi pachangu; asi Baba, vanogara mandiri, ndivo vanoita mabasa avo.Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

¹¹Nditendei kuti ndiri munaBaba, naBaba vari mandiri; kana kusikudaro, nditendei nokuda kwamabasa amene.Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

¹²Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Unotenda kwandiri mabasa andinoita, iye uchaaita vo, uchaita makuru kunawawa; nokuti ndinoenda kunaBaba vangu.Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

¹³Chinhu chipi nechipi chamunokumbira muzita rangu, ndichachiita, kuti Baba vakudzwe muMwanakomana.And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴Kana muchikumbira chinhu kwandiri muzita rangu, ndichachiita.If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵Kana muchindida, chengetai mirairo yangu.If ye love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁶Neni ndichakumbira Baba, vachakupai mumwe Munyaradzi, kuti agare nemi nokusingaperi;And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

¹⁷ndiye Mweya wazvokwadi; nyika haigoni kumugamuchira, nokuti haimuvoni, kana kumuziva; imi munomuziva, nokuti ugere nemi, uchava mukati menyu.Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

¹⁸Handingakusiyiyi muri nherera; ndinovuya kwamuri.I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

¹⁹Kuchinenguva duku, nyika haichazondivoni; asi imi munondivona, nokuti ini ndiri mupenyu, nemivo muchava vapenyu.Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

²⁰Nezuva iro muchandiziva, kuti ndiri muna baba, nemi mandiri, neni mamuri.At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

²¹Unemirairo yangu, akaichengeta,, ndiye unondida; unondida uchadikanwa naBaba vangu; neni ndichamuda vo, ndichazviratidza kwaari.He 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.

²²Judhasi (usati ari iye Iskarioti) akati kwaari: Ishe, ndokudiniko kuti muchazviratidza kwatiri, musingazviratidzi kunyika?Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

²³Jesu akapindura, akati kwaari: Kana munhu achindida, uchachengeta shoko rangu; naBaba vangu vachamuda, tichavuya kwaari, tikaita vugaro bwedu maari.Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

²⁴Usingandidi, haachengeti mashoko angu; shoko ramunonzwa, arizi rangu, asi nderababa vakandituma.He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

²⁵Zvinhu izvozvi ndakakuvudzai ndichigere nemi.These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

²⁶Asi Munyaradzi, Mweya Mutsvene, uchatumwa naBaba muzita rangu, iye uchakudzidzisai zvose, nokukuyevudzirai zvose, zvandakareva kwamuri.But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

²⁷Ndinokusiyirai rugare; ndinokupai rugare rwangu handikupiyi sokupa kwenyika. Moyo yenyu irege kumanikidzwa, irege kutya.Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

²⁸Makanzwa kuti ndakati kwamuri: Ndinoenda, ndigodzokera zve kwamuri. Dai maindida, mungadai maifara, nokuti ndinoenda kunaBaba; nokuti Baba vakuru kwandiri.Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

²⁹Zvino ndakuvudzai zvisati zvaitika, kuti musi wazvinoitika mugotenda.And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

³⁰Handichazotauri zvizhinji nemi, nokuti muchinda wenyika unovuya; asi haanechinhu kwandiri;Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

³¹asi kuti nyika izive kuti ndinoda Baba, vuye kuti sezvandakarairwa naBaba, ndizvo zvandinoita. Simukai, ngatibve pano.But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
