Yohana 16
1 Mi hla wayi ni yiwu ni ndu yi na kubu za na.
“These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be stumbled.
2 Ba ju yi rju ni majanmiyan u iton ni ye, niwa indji ni ta hola yi vu ni to'o (wuya), ani ya ndi wawu si tie ndu Rji.
They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour comes that everyone who has killed you may think to offer service to God;
3 Ba ti naki niwa ba na toh Ti'a ko Me na.
and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor Me.
4 Mi si hla biyi ni yiwu, inde iton nita ye, waba ti'a, bika ri mren Mi na hla ni yiwu,” Mi na hla kpe biyi ni yiwu ri na rji ni mumla, niwa Mi he niyi.
But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I said [them] to you, and I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you;
5 Zizan yi Mi si hi ni Indji wa a ton me'a, naki me ni mi mbi, ba wa a minye Me, u hi ntsen?
and now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, To where do you go?
6 Ni wa Mi hla ikpi biyi ni yiwu, damuwa shu ni yiwu ni sron.
But because I have said to you these things, the sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Ime mi si hla njanji mu ni yiwu, abi ni yiwu ni ndu Mi hi kpamu, u Mi ta na hi kpamu na, wawu indji u sisron ana ye ni yi na, u Mi ta hi, u Mi ton ye niyi.
But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come to you, and if I go on, I will send Him to you;
8 Ani ta ye, wawu Indji u nji si sron ye ani tsro gbungblu'a meme ti lahtre'a, nitu njanji ni tron me -
and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
9 nitu lahtre, nitu wa bana kpa nyeme ni Me na;
concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me;
10 nitu tsatsra, Mi hi ni Ti'a, u bina la tie bre to mena;
and concerning righteousness, because I go away to My Father, and you behold Me no more;
11 nitu hukunci me niwa ba han hukunci ni ndji u nji gbungblu'a hukunci.
and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 Ikpi gbugbuwu ba he wa Mi hla ni yiwu'a, u bina ya to zizan na.
I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear [them] now;
13 Nitu ki, u Ibrji tsatsra u njanji aye'a, ani nji ni mi njanji wawu, niwa ana tre u tuma kankrji ma na, se ikpe wa awo, ani hla ki, ani hla ni yiwu ikpe wa ani tie.
and when He may come—the Spirit of truth—He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;
14 Ani gbre Me san, nitu wa ani ban ikpi wa a u mu na hla ni yiwu.
He will glorify Me, because He will take of Mine, and will tell to you.
15 Ikpe iwa Iti'a ahe ni wu ahi u mu. Nitu ki, Mi hla da ani ban kpi wa a hu mu na hla ni yiwu.
All things, as many as the Father has, are Mine; because of this I said that He will take of Mine, and will tell to you;
16 Ni kogon vi ton, bina tie bre la to Me na, ni kogon vi nton fime ngari, bi la toh me.
a little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go away to the Father.”
17 U bari ni mi almajere Ma, ba tre ndi, “Ahi ngyeyi mba Igu yi ni son hla nitawu, 'Ni vi nkpurju nton bina la toh Me na, u ni vi nkpurju nton ngari bi la toh me,' u, 'Nitu wa Mi hi ni Ti'a?'”
Therefore [some] of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, A little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, and, Because I go away to the Father?”
18 Nitu ki ba tre ndi, “Ahi ngyeri wa asi tre'a, 'Ni vi nkpurju nton'a?' Kina to kpw wa asi tre nitu ma na.”
They said then, “What is this He says—the little while? We have not known what He says.”
19 Yesu to ba si son Mye wu, na hla ni bawu ndi, “U bi kma ni mye kpa mbi Mu ikpe wa Mi si son hla andi, “Ni kogon vi nton fime u bina to me na, u ngari ni kogon vi nton fime bi la to Me?'
Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask Him, and He said to them, “Concerning this do you seek with one another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me?
20 Njanji, njanji, Mi hla ni yiwu, bi yi ni mren, u gbungblu ni ngyiri, imre mbi ni shu ni yi nyu ni sron, u imre u yi mbi ani ka tie u ngyiri.
Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will become joy.
21 Iwa ni to lo ngrji, ni nton wa a si yi nne nitu wa inton u ngrji ye. Inde a ngri vren yo ye, ana la bre rimren ilon Ma ngana, nitu wa a si ngyiri wa ba ngrji indji ni gbungblu'a.
The woman, when she may bear, has sorrow, because her hour came, and when she may bear the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born into the world.
22 Zizan mba bi ri mre, Mi la to yi, u sron mbi ni ngyiri, u indrjori na ya ban ngyiri mbi'a rji ni yi na.
And you, therefore, now indeed have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy from you,
23 Chachu ki, bina mye Me kperi na. Njanji, njanji, Mi si hla ni yiwu, ko ngyeri bi bre ni mi Nde Ti'a ni mi Nde Mu ani no yi.
and in that day you will question nothing of Me; truly, truly, I say to you, as many things as you may ask of the Father in My Name, He will give you;
24 Ye zizan me bi na bre kperi nimi nde Mu na. Bika bre, u bi kpa, niwa ingyiri mbi a shu.
until now you asked nothing in My Name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
25 Mi hla kpi biyi ni yiwu ni mi karin magana, inton ni ye wa Mina la hla kperi ni yiwu na ni mi karin magana na, Mi sran hla ni yiwu ni rira, nitu Ti'a wa ani karin magana.
I have spoken these things in allegories to you, but there comes an hour when I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will tell you freely of the Father.
26 Ni chahu ki, bu tre ni mi nde Mu u Mina hla yiwu ndi Mi tre ni Ti; a nitu mbi na.
In that day you will make request in My Name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,
27 Niwa Iti ni son yi kima, niwa bu'a bi son Me, u bi kpa nyeme ndi Mi rji ni Ti'a.
for the Father Himself cherishes you, because you have cherished Me, and you have believed that I came forth from God;
28 Mi rji ni Ti'a, ni ri ni gbungblu'a, ye zizan, ngari, Mi bri ni gbungblu'a ni kma ni hi ni Ti.”
I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again I leave the world, and go on to the Father.”
29 Almajere Ma ba tre ndi, “To mba, zizan u si tre kpe wheme mba, una ka yiyi na.
His disciples say to Him, “Behold, now You speak freely, and You do not speak allegory;
30 Zizan ki to u to ko ngyeri, ana wa ndrjori ni la mye na. Ni nakima, ki kpanyeme ndi u rju rji ni Irji.
now we have known that You have known all things, and have no need that anyone questions You; in this we believe that You came forth from God.”
31 Yesu a ka sa ni bawu ndi, “Bi kpa nyeme zizan?
Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe? Behold, there comes an hour,
32 Bika to, inton ni ye, ee, inton ye wa ba vra yi ti nkankan, ko nha ni kma hi ni ko ma, bi ka me don ni grji Mu. Ko nakime Mi na he ni nkrji Mu na, Iti Mu ahe ni Me.
and now it has come, that you may be scattered, each to his own things, and you may leave Me alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with Me;
33 Mi hla wayi ni yiwu ndi bi he ni me Mu ni fe si sron. Ni gbungblu'a ba ki ti yi je, bika kri gbangban, Mi kpaka ni gbungblu'a.
these things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace, in the world you will have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.”
