< Johan 16 >

1 N'khah uh pawt ham ni nangmih taengah he he ka thui.
“I have spoken these things to you so that you will not fall away.
2 Nangmih te a hael la n'haek uh ni. A tue ha pawk vaengah hlang boeih loh nangmih n'ngawn te Pathen taengkah thothuengnah a khueh la a ngai uh ni.
They will throw you out of the synagogues. But the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think that he is offering a service to God.
3 Te khaw a Pa neh kai m'ming uh pawt dongah ni a saii uh eh.
They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
4 Tedae he he nangmih kan thui coeng. Te daengah ni a tue ha pawk vaengah kai loh nangmih kan ti nah te na poek uh eh. Tedae nangmih taengah ka om dongah hekah he a tongcuek lamloh nangmih ham ka thui moenih.
I have spoken these things to you so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you about these things in the beginning, because I was with you.
5 Tedae kai aka tueih taengah ka cet pawn ni. Nangmih loh, “Melam na caeh eh?” tila kai nan dawt uh moenih.
But now I go to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
6 Te phoeiah hekah he nangmih taengah ka thui coeng dongah kothaenah loh nangmih thinko te a koei.
But because I have said these things to you, sadness has filled your heart.
7 Tedae kai loh nangmih taengah oltak ka thui, Kai ka caeh te nangmih ham rhoei bet. Ka cet pawt koinih nangmih taengah baerhoep te ha pawk mahpawh, Tedae ka caeh atah nangmih taengla anih kan tueih ni.
But truly I tell you, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 Anih te ha pawk vaengah diklai te tholh kawng khaw, duengnah kawng khaw, laitloeknah kawng khaw.
When he comes, the Comforter will prove the world to be wrong about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment—
9 Kai n'tangnah uh pawt dongah tholhnah kawng.
about sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 Pa taengla ka cet vetih kai nan hmuh uh voel pawt ham dongah duengnah kawng khaw.
about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;
11 He diklai boei te lai a tloek coeng dongah laitloeknah kawng khaw a toeltham ni.
and about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 Nangmih taengah thui ham muep om pueng dae nangmih loh tahae ah na doe uh tloel.
I have many things to say to you, but you would not understand them now.
13 Tedae amah ha pawk vaengah tah, oltak Mueihla loh nangmih te oltak dongah a cungkuem la long n'tueng ni. Amah lamloh thui pawt vetih a yaak te boeih a thui ni. Te vaengah aka lo te khaw nangmih taengah ha puen ni.
But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself. But he will say whatever he hears, and he will tell you things that are to come.
14 Te long ni kai n'thangpom eh. Kamah hut te a doe vetih nangmih taengla ha puen ni.
He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and he will tell it to you.
15 Pa loh a khueh boeih te kai kah ni, Te dongah, ‘Kamah kah te a doe tih nangmih taengah ka puen bitni,’ ka ti.
Everything that the Father has is mine. Therefore, I said that the Spirit will take from what is mine and he will tell it to you.
16 “Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh pawt sui dae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
In a short amount of time you will no longer see me, and after another short amount of time you will see me.”
17 Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek khuiah khat neh khat te, “Mamih taengah, ‘Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh voel pawt sui dae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni. Te phoeiah pa taengla ka cet ni,’ a ti te metlam a om,” a ti uh.
Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, 'A short amount of time you will no longer see me and after another short amount of time you will see me,' and, 'Because I go to the Father'?”
18 Te dongah, “A thui te me tlam nim a om te? ‘Kolkalh ah’ a ti te m'ming uh moenih,” a ti uh.
Therefore they said, “What is this that he says, 'A short amount of time'? We do not know what he is talking about.”
19 Anih dawt ham a ngaih uh te Jesuh loh a ming dongah amih te, “‘Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh mahpawh, Tedae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni,’ tila ka thui dongah he khat neh khat na dawt uh thae.
Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, 'A little while and you will no longer see me, and again a little while and you will see me'?
20 Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, na rhap uh vetih na nguek uh ni. Tedae diklai loh a uem vetih na kothae uh ni. Tedae nangmih kah kothaenah te omngaihnah la poeh ni.
Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will be glad. You will become full of sadness, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
21 Huta loh a tue a pha tih ca a cun vaengah kothaenah a khueh. Tedae camoe te a cun vaengah tah diklai ah hlang a cun te a omngaihnah neh phacip phabaem te poek pawh.
When a woman gives birth she has sadness because her hour has come, but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers her pain because of her joy that a man has been born into the world.
22 Te dongah nangmih khaw tahae ah kothaenah na khueh uh dae nangmih te koep kan hip vetih nangmih thinko loh omngaih bitni. Nangmih kah omngaihnah te nangmih lamkah rhawt uh mahpawh.
So you have sadness now, but I will see you again, and your heart will be glad, and no one will be able to take away your joy from you.
23 Tekah khohnin ah kai nan dawt uh loengloeng mahpawh. Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, kai ming neh Pa taengah na bih te tah nangmih m'paek bitni.
On that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24 Tahae duela kai ming neh na bih uh te a hong moenih. Bih uh lamtah na dang uh bitni. Te daengah ni nangmih kah omngaihnah loh a soep la a om eh.
Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive so that your joy will be fulfilled.
25 Thuidoeknah neh nangmih taengah hekah he ka thui coeng. A tue ha pawk vaengah tah thuidoeknah neh nangmih kam voek voel mahpawh. Tedae pa kawng nangmih taengah sayalh la ka puen bitni.
I have said these things to you in figures of speech, but the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but instead I will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 Tekah khohnin ah kai ming neh na bih uh ni. Tedae nangmih ham kai loh a pa taengah ka dawt ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui moenih.
On that day you will ask in my name and I do not say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,
27 Pa amah loh nangmih n'lungnah te nangmih loh kai nan lungnah tih Pathen lamkah ka suntlak he na tangnah uh dongah ni.
for the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and because you have believed that I came from the Father.
28 “Pa taeng lamkah ka lo tih diklai la kam pha coeng. Diklai te ka hlah vetih pa taengah koep ka cet ni,” a ti nah.
I came from the Father, and I have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father.”
29 A hnukbang rhoek loh, “Sayalh la na thui coeng tih thuidoeknah na thui pawt la he.
His disciples said, “See, now you are speaking plainly and you are not using figures of speech.
30 Boeih na ming dongah u long khaw nang dawt ham pakhat khaw ngoe pawh tila ka ming uh coeng, te nen ni Pathen taeng lamkah na lo te kan tangnah uh,” a ti nah.
Now we know that you know all things, and you do not need anyone to ask you questions. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God.”
31 Jesuh loh amih te, “Na tangnah uh pawn a?
Jesus answered them, “Do you believe now?
32 A tue ha pawk coeng ke, pakhat rhip loh amah amah ah na taekyak uh tih kamah bueng nan hlah uh ham ni ha pawk coeng, Tedae a pa he kai taengah om tih kamah bueng ka om moenih.
See, the hour is coming, yes, and has indeed come, when you will be scattered, everyone to his own home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.
33 He he nangmih taengah ka thui daengah ni kai rhangneh ngaimongnah na dang uh eh. Diklai ah phacip phabaem na dang uh ni. Tedae na ngaimong sak uh. Kai loh diklai ka noeng coeng,” a ti nah.
I have spoken these things to you so that you will have peace in me. In the world you have troubles, but have courage, I have conquered the world.”
