¹Moyo wenyu ngaurege kutambudzika; imwi munotenda kuna Mwari, tendaiwo kwandiri.

¹`Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;

²Mumusha maBaba vangu mune dzimba zhinji; dai zvisina kudaro, ndingadai ndakakuudzai. Ndinoenda kunokugadzirirai nzvimbo.

²in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;

³Zvino kana ndikaenda ndikanokugadzirirai nzvimbo, ndichauyazve ndikugamuchirei kwandiri; kuti apo ini pandiri, imwi muvepowo.

³and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

⁴Uye ini pandinoenda munoziva, nenzira munoziva.

⁴and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.`

⁵Tomasi akati kwaari: Ishe, hatizivi kwamunoenda; ko tinogona kuziva sei nzira?

⁵Thomas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?`

⁶Jesu akati kwaari: Ini ndiri nzira, nechokwadi, neupenyu; hapana unouya kuna Baba, asi nekwandiri.

⁶Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

⁷Dai maindiziva, maiziva Baba vanguwo; uye kubva ikozvino munovaziva, uye makavaona.

⁷if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.`

⁸Firipi akati kwaari: Ishe, tiratidzei Baba, uye zvakatikwanira.

⁸Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;`

⁹Jesu akati kwaari: Ndava nemwi nguva refu yakadai, hausati wandiziva here, Firipi? Waona ini, waona Baba; zvino unoreva sei uchiti: Tiratidzei Baba?

⁹Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?

¹⁰Hautendi here kuti ini ndiri muna Baba, naBaba vari mandiri? Mashoko andinotaura kwamuri ini, handiatauri pachangu; asi Baba, vanogara mandiri, ndivo vanoita mabasa.

¹⁰Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

¹¹Nditendei kuti ndiri muna Baba, naBaba vari mandiri; kana zvisakadaro nditendei nekuda kwemabasa omene.

¹¹believe me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

¹²Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Unotenda kwandiri, mabasa ini andinoita iye uchaaitawo, uye makuru kune awa uchaaita; nekuti ini ndinoenda kuna Baba vangu.

¹²`Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do — that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

¹³Uye chero chipi chamunokumbira muzita rangu, icho ndichachiita, kuti Baba varumbidzwe muMwanakomana.

¹³and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

¹⁴Kana muchikumbira chero chipi muzita rangu, ini ndichachiita.

¹⁴if ye ask anything in my name I will do [it].

¹⁵Kana muchindida, chengetai mirairo yangu.

¹⁵`If ye love me, my commands keep,

¹⁶Neni ndichakumbira Baba, naivo vachakupai umwe Munyaradzi, kuti agare nemwi nekusingaperi,

¹⁶and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you — to the age;

¹⁷Mweya wechokwadi, iyo nyika yausingagoni kugamuchira, nekuti haimuoni, kana kumuziva. Asi imwi munomuziva, nekuti ugere nemwi, uchava mukati menyu.

¹⁷the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

¹⁸Handingakusii muri nherera; ndichauya kwamuri.

¹⁸`I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;

¹⁹Kuchine chinguvana, nenyika haichazondioni; asi imwi muchandiona; nekuti ndinorarama, imwiwo muchararama.

¹⁹yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;

²⁰Nezuva iro imwi muchaziva kuti ndiri muna Baba vangu, nemwi mandiri, neni mamuri.

²⁰in that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you;

²¹Une mirairo yangu achiichengeta, ndiye unondida; uye unondida uchadikamwa naBaba vangu; neni ndichamuda, uye ndichazviratidza kwaari.

²¹he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.`

²²Judhasi, kwete Isikariyoti, akati kwaari: Ishe, chii kuti munozozviratidza kwatiri, asi kwete kunyika?

²²Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?`

²³Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Kana munhu achindida, uchachengeta shoko rangu, naBaba vangu vachamuda, uye tichauya kwaari, tikaita ugaro naye.

²³Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

²⁴Usingandidi, haachengeti mashoko angu; neshoko ramunonzwa harizi rangu, asi raBaba vakandituma.

²⁴he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father`s who sent me.

²⁵Zvinhu izvozvi ndazvitaura kwamuri ndigere nemwi.

²⁵`These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,

²⁶Asi Munyaradzi, Mweya Mutsvene, iwo Baba wavachatuma muzita rangu, iye uchakudzidzisai zvinhu zvose, uye akuyeudzirei zvose zvandakataura kwamuri.

²⁶and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

²⁷Rugare ndinosiya kwamuri; rugare rwangu ndinopa kwamuri; kwete nyika sezvainopa, ini ndinopa kwamuri. Moyo yenyu ngairege kutambudzika, kana kutya.

²⁷`Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

²⁸Manzwa kuti ini ndati kwamuri: Ndinoenda, uye ndichauya kwamuri. Kana maindida, maifara, nekuti ndati: Ndinoenda kuna Baba; nekuti Baba vangu vakuru kwandiri.

²⁸ye heard that I said to you — I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said — I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

²⁹Uye ikozvino ndakuudzai zvisati zvaitika; kuti kana zvoitika mutende.

²⁹`And now I have said [it] to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;

³⁰Handichazotaurizve zvizhinji nemwi; nekuti mutongi wenyika ino unouya, asi haana chinhu kwandiri;

³⁰I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

³¹asi kuti nyika izive kuti ndinoda Baba, uye Baba sezvavakandiraira, ndinoita saizvozvo. Simukai, ngatibve pano.

³¹but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.
