Yohana 16
1 Mi hla wayi ni yiwu ni ndu yi na kubu za na.
I have spoken to you in this way so that you may not falter.
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 expel you from their Synagogues; indeed the time is coming when any one who kills you will think that he is making an offering to God.
3 Ba ti naki niwa ba na toh Ti'a ko Me na.
They will do this, because they have not learned to know the Father, or even 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 I have spoken to you of these things that, when the time for them comes, you may remember that I told you about them myself.
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?
I did not tell you all this at first, because I was with you. But now I am to return to him who sent me; and yet not one of you asks me — ‘Where are you going?’
6 Ni wa Mi hla ikpi biyi ni yiwu, damuwa shu ni yiwu ni sron.
Although your hearts are full of sorrow at all that I have been saying to you.
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.
Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the Helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, 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 he, when he comes, will bring conviction to the world as to Sin, and as to Righteousness, and as to Judgment;
9 nitu lahtre, nitu wa bana kpa nyeme ni Me na;
as to Sin, for men do not believe in me;
10 nitu tsatsra, Mi hi ni Ti'a, u bina la tie bre to mena;
as to Righteousness, for I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
11 nitu hukunci me niwa ba han hukunci ni ndji u nji gbungblu'a hukunci.
as to Judgment, for the Spirit that is ruling this world has been condemned.
12 Ikpi gbugbuwu ba he wa Mi hla ni yiwu'a, u bina ya to zizan na.
I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it 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.
Yet when he — The Spirit of Truth — comes, he will guide you into all Truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of all that he hears; and he will tell you of the things that are to come.
14 Ani gbre Me san, nitu wa ani ban ikpi wa a u mu na hla ni yiwu.
He will honour me; because he will take of what is mine, and will tell it 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.
Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes of what is mine, and will tell it to you.
16 Ni kogon vi ton, bina tie bre la to Me na, ni kogon vi nton fime ngari, bi la toh me.
In a little while you will no longer see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed.”
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?'”
At this some of his disciples said to one another: “What does he mean by saying to us ‘In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed’; and by saying ‘Because I am going 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.”
What does he mean by ‘In a little while’?” they said; “we do not know what he is speaking about.”
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 saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said: “Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying ‘In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed’?
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.
In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain shall turn to 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.
A woman in labour is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a man has been 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.
You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I shall see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.
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 at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my Name.
24 Ye zizan me bi na bre kperi nimi nde Mu na. Bika bre, u bi kpa, niwa ingyiri mbi a shu.
So far you have not asked for anything, in my Name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
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 to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I shall not speak any longer to you in figures, but shall tell you about the Father plainly.
26 Ni chahu ki, bu tre ni mi nde Mu u Mina hla yiwu ndi Mi tre ni Ti; a nitu mbi na.
You will ask, at that time, in my Name; and I do not say that I will intercede with 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 loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.
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 out from the Father, and have come into the world; and now I am to leave the world, and go to the Father.”
29 Almajere Ma ba tre ndi, “To mba, zizan u si tre kpe wheme mba, una ka yiyi na.
“At last,” exclaimed the disciples, “you are using plain words and not speaking in figures at all.
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 are sure that you know everything, and need not wait for any one to question you. This makes us believe that you did come from God.”
31 Yesu a ka sa ni bawu ndi, “Bi kpa nyeme zizan?
“Do you believe that already?” Jesus answered.
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.
“Listen! a time is coming — indeed it has already come — when you are to be scattered, each going his own way, and to leave me alone; and yet 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.
I have spoken to you in this way, so that in me you may find peace. In the world you will find trouble; yet, take courage! I have conquered the world.”
