Yohana 16
1 Mi hla wayi ni yiwu ni ndu yi na kubu za na.
"These things I have spoken to you in order to clear stumbling-blocks out of your path.
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.
You will be excluded from the synagogues; nay more, the time is coming when any one who has murdered one of you will suppose he is offering service to God.
3 Ba ti naki niwa ba na toh Ti'a ko Me na.
And they will do these things because they have failed to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.
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 these things to you in order that when the time for their accomplishment comes you may remember them, and may recollect that I told you. I did not, however, tell you all this at first, because I was still 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?
But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you asks me where I am going.
6 Ni wa Mi hla ikpi biyi ni yiwu, damuwa shu ni yiwu ni sron.
But grief has filled your hearts because I have said all this 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 it is the truth that I am telling you--it is to your advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, 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 convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; --
9 nitu lahtre, nitu wa bana kpa nyeme ni Me na;
of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 nitu tsatsra, Mi hi ni Ti'a, u bina la tie bre to mena;
of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;
11 nitu hukunci me niwa ba han hukunci ni ndji u nji gbungblu'a hukunci.
of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence.
12 Ikpi gbugbuwu ba he wa Mi hla ni yiwu'a, u bina ya to zizan na.
"I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present to bear the burden of it.
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.
But when He has come--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, and He will make known the future to 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 what is mine and will make it known 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 the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make it known 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 see me no more, and again a little while and you shall see me."
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?'”
Some of His disciples therefore said to one another, "What does this mean which He is telling us, 'A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me,' and '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.”
So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that 'little while' mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words."
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 perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, "Is this what you are questioning one another about--my saying, 'A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall 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.
In most solemn truth I tell you that you will weep aloud and lament, but the world will be glad. You will mourn, but your grief will be turned into gladness.
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, when she is in labour, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has given birth to the babe, she no longer remembers the pain, because of her joy at a child being 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.
So you also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and your gladness no one will take away 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.
You will put no questions to me then. "In most solemn truth I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for 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.
As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness.
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.
"All this I have spoken to you in veiled language. The time is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language, but will tell you about the Father in plain words.
26 Ni chahu ki, bu tre ni mi nde Mu u Mina hla yiwu ndi Mi tre ni Ti; a nitu mbi na.
At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,
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 holds you dear, because you have held me dear and have believed that I came from the Father's presence.
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 from the Father and have come into the world. Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."
29 Almajere Ma ba tre ndi, “To mba, zizan u si tre kpe wheme mba, una ka yiyi na.
"Ah, now you are using plain language," said His disciples, "and are uttering no figure of speech!
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 know that you have all knowledge, and do not need to be pressed with questions. Through this we believe that you came from God."
31 Yesu a ka sa ni bawu ndi, “Bi kpa nyeme zizan?
"Do you at last believe?" replied Jesus.
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.
"Remember that the time is coming, nay, has already come, for you all to be dispersed each to his own home and to leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for 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 all this to you in order that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction. But keep up your courage: I have won the victory over the world."
