Yohana 14
1 Na ndu sron mbi tie meme na, bi kpa nyeme ni Rji, kpa nyeme ngame ni Me.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 Ni ko ti mu ahe niko gbugbuwu ani na nakina, mi hla ni yiwu mi hi mla bubu'a tie ni yiwu.
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.
3 Mi ta hi ni mla bubu'a tie ni yiowu, mi kma ye ni ye ngari ni ye vu yi hi ni kpa mu, ni ndu iwurji wa mi he'a bi ka he niki me.
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;
4 Bi to gon uhi bubu wa me he'a.”
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Toma hla ni Yesu, Bachi, kina to bubu wa u si hi'a na, kiti niheri ni to nkon'a?
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas; “so how can we know the way?”
6 Yesu hla niwu, Ime yi mi nkon ni njanji ni re (ivri), Indrjori na ya hi ni Timu'a na se ka hu ni me.
Jesus answered: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 U na to me u na to Timu me, rjizizan hi u to ni shishi me ni to.”
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.”
8 Filibu tre ni Yesu ndi, “Bachi tsro ta Iti'a, ni ndu tsra tawu naki.”
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we shall be satisfied.”
9 Yesu hla niwu, “Mi he ni yi rji lalon mu u bi na to me na Filibu? Indji wa a to me'a a to Iti'a. U tie ni he ri, ni hla ndi, mi tsro yi Iti'a?
“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’?
10 U na kpa nyeme na ndi mi he ni Ti'a u Iti'a he ni me na? Ilan tre bi wa mi si tre ni yi'a mi na si tre ni gbengblen mu na, ahi Iti mu wa ahe ni mi mu'a si tie ndu yi.
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.
11 Kpa nyenme ndi mi he ni Ti'a, u Iti'a ahe ni me, ko u ka kpanyeme ni indu bimba me.
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.
12 Njanji, njanji, Mi hla ni yiwu, indji wa a kpanyeme ni me ani tie ndu wa Mi tie'a na tie ndu bi rigrama zan bi yi niwa Mi si hi ni Ti Mu.
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.
13 Ko ngyeri wa minye ni mi nde mu, mi ti niwu ni ndu Ti'a ndu kpa ninkon ni Vren'a.
Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
14 U wu ta minye me ko san ngyeri ni mi nde Mu, Mi tie wu.
If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.
15 U wu ta ni son me, wu hu indu mu,
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always — the Spirit of Truth. (aiōn g165)
17 u Ibrji Tsatsra (Ruhu) u njanji gbungblu'a ana ya kpa na nitu wa a to na, iwu u to, ani son niwu ani he niwu.
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.
18 Mi na ka yi don ni kankrji mbi na, Mi kma ye ni yi.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 A don tsa me yi, ni ndu gbungblu yi na la tie bre to mena, bi yi bi la to me don me mi he, biyi me bi son.
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.
20 Chachu ki bi to andi Mi he ni Timu, andi bi he ni me, u me mi he ni yi.
At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 Indji wa a wo du mu, na hu ba ahi indji wa ani son me, u indji wa ani son me, Iti mu ni son'u ngame, u Me Mi son'u ni tsro tu mu niwu.”
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.”
22 Yahuda (ana Iskariyoti na) a tre Yesu, “Bachi, ahi ngyeri sa u tsro ta tu me, ana ni gbungblu'a na?”
“What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Yesu sa na hla niwu, indji wa ani son me'a ani hu lantre mu. Iti mu ni son u ki ye niwu ni son baba me.
“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.
24 Indji wa ana son me na, ana hu tre mu na, itre wa bi wo bana rji-ni me na, ba rji ni Ti wa a ton me'a.
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.
25 Mi hla ikpi biyi ni yiwu ni wa Mi he ni gbungblu'a, niwa Mi he niyi.
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 Se, u si sron ibrji tsatsra (Ruhu) wa Itimu ni ton ye ni mi nde Mu ani tsro yi ko ngyeri na tie ka ko ngyeri ni yiwu.
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.
27 Mi bri yi ni si sron, ni no yi si sron, Mi na no nawa gbungblu'a ni no'a na, na kpa sron u bi tie meme na, nda na tie sissri na.
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.
28 Bi wo Mi hla ni yiwu, Mi hi kpa Mu, ndi Mi la kma ye niyiwu. Inde bi son Me, bi ka ngyiri don Mi hi ni Ti'a, Iti'a a zan na wa Mi he'a.
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.
29 Zizan Mi hla ni yiwu ri ni ndu ka ye he (ti) nda ana ye he (ti) u bi ka kpa nyeme.
And this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 Mi na la tre babran ni yi na, Ichu wa ani nji gbungblu'a ani ye ana he ni gbengblen ni tu mu na.
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;
31 Ni ndu gbungblu'a ndu ba to andi Mi son Ti'a, Mi ti na wa Iti'a a yo Me, ki lunde bri bubu yi.
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.
