John 16
1 Note na thinkiam ngawl natu in hi thu te kong son hi.
"I have told you all this so that you may not stumble.
2 Amate in synagogue sung pan hong nawt tu uh hi: a kuamapo in note thalup sia Pathian nasep in a ngaisut uh hun hong theng tu hi.
"They will excommunicate you from their synagogues; indeed the time is coming when any one who kills you will suppose that he is doing God’s service.
3 Hi thu te sia amate in note tung ah vawt tu uh hi, banghangziam cile amate in Pa a he bua uh a, keima zong hong he bua uh hi.
"And they will do these things because they have not known my Father, nor me.
4 Ahihang hi thu te kong son zo hi, tabang in a hun a cin ciang in, note in kong sonsa te na phawkkik tu uh hi. Taciang hi thu te sia a kipatcil in hong son ngawl khi hi, banghangziam cile keima sia note taw ka omkhop hang a hihi.
"But I have told you these things, that when the time comes you may remember that I told you about them, myself. I did not, however, speak of these things at first, because I was with you.
5 Ahihang tu in hong sawlpa kung ah pai tu khi hi; taciang, koisung ah paitu ni ziam? ci in kuama in nong dong bua uh hi.
"But now I go my way to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Ahihang hi thu te hong son zo ka hikom in, na thinsung uh he na taw kidim hi.
"but sorrow has filled your hearts because I have told you these things.
7 Ahihang thutak hong son khi hi; kei pai leng note atu in phazaw hi: banghangziam cile ka pai bua ahile, Hupa sia note kung ah hongpai ngawl tu hi; ahihang ka pai ahile, Ama sia note kung ah kong paisak tu hi.
"Yet - I am telling you the truth - my going is for your good. For unless I go away the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart I will send him unto you.
8 Ama hongpai ciang in leitung mite mawna, thuman ngawl na le thukhenna te hong tek tu hi:
"And he, when he comes, will convict the world of sins and of righteousness and of judgment;
9 Mawna thu sia, amate in keima hong up ngawl uh hang a hihi.
"of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 Thuman sia, Pa kung ka pai tu a, nong mu nawn ngawl tu uh hang a hihi;
11 Thukhenna thu sia, leitung ukpa sia thukhenna a thuak hang a hihi.
"because the Prince of this world has been judged.
12 Note tung ah sonnop tampi nei lai khi hi, ahihang tu in na ngai zo nawn bua uh hi.
"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them just now.
13 Ahizong thuman Thaa hongpai ciang in, Ama in thutak sung ah note hong paipui tu hi: banghangziam cile Ama thu hong son ngawl tu a; a zak theampo hong son tu hi: taciang hongpai lai tu thu te hong son tu hi.
"But when he is come, that Spirit of Truth, he will guide you into the whole truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but all that he hears he will speak, and will make known to you that which is to come.
14 Ama in hong minthangsak tu hi: banghangziam cile Ama in ka kung pan a sansa thu te hong lak tu hi.
"He will glorify me; for he will take of what is mine and will make known to you.
15 Pa i neisa theampo sia keima neisa a hihi: tua ahikom, keima neisa hong laksak tu te, note hong lak tu hi, kong ci hi.
"Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he will take of what is mine and make it known to you.
16 Tawmvei sung hong mu ngawl tu nu ni: taciang tawmvei sung in nong mukik tu uh hi, banghangziam cile Pa kung ah ka pai tu hi, ci hi.
"In a little while you shall behold me no more; and again in a little while you shall see me, because I am going to the Father."
17 Tua zawkciang in a nungzui pawlkhat te, amate sung ah, tawmvei sung nong mu bua tu uh hi: taciang tawmvei sung in nong mukik tu uh hi, banghangziam cile Pa kung ah ka pai tu hi, hong ci sia bang hi thong tu ziam? ci tek uh hi.
At this some of his disciples said among themselves. "What does he mean by telling us, ‘In a little while you shall behold me no more; and again in a little while you shall see me,’ and ‘because I am going to the Father’?"
18 Tua ahikom amate in, tawmvei sung, a ci sia bang hi tu ziam? bang hong son ziam ci i son thei bua hi, ci uh hi.
So they kept asking. "What does that ‘little while’ mean of which he speaks? We do not know what he is talking about."
19 Tu in Jesus in amate in thu hong dong nuam hi, ci he a, Tawmvei sung nong mu bua tu uh hi: taciang tawmvei sung in nong mukik tu uh hi, ci ka son sia note sung ah ki kan na hi uh ziam?
Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and said. "Are you questioning one another about my saying, ‘A little while and you shall behold me no more, and again a little while you shall see me’?
20 A tatak in kong ci hi, note kap in na tau tu uh hi, ahihang leitung mite lungdam tu uh hi: note na khuangai tu uh hi, ahihang na khuangaina uh sia lungdamna hong suak tu hi.
"I tell you solemnly that you will be weeping and wailing while the world is rejoicing; you will be grief-stricken, but your grief shall be turned into gladness.
21 Nupi khat nau a tut ciang in khuangai hi, banghangziam cile a hun hong cing zo hi: ahihang nau a nei zawkpo ciang, leitung ah mihing khat pian na i lungdamna hang in a haksatna a phawk nawn bua hi.
"A woman in labor has grief because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the babe she no longer remembers her anguish, because of joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 Tua ahikom note tu in na khuangai uh hi: ahihang hong mu kik tu khi hi, taciang note na lung uh dam tu hi, taciang na lungdamna uh sia mihing in hong laksak ngawl tu hi.
"So you also have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy shall no man snatch away from you.
23 Tua ni ciang in note bangma nong ngen bua tu uh hi. A tatak in kong ci hi, ka min taw Pa kung ah na nget uh theampo Ama in hong pia tu hi.
"And in that day you will ask me no questions. Most solemnly I tell you that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
24 Tuciang dong ka min taw bangma na ngen bua lai uh hi: ngen vun a, na nga tu uh hi, tabang in na lungdamna uh hong dim tu hi.
"Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 Hi thu te sontena taw note tung ah kong son hi: ahihang sontena te taw kong son ngawl hun hong theng zo hi, ahihang Pa sia a thiangtak in kong lak tu hi.
"I have told you these things in figures; but the time is coming when I shall no longer speak in figures, but will tell you about the Father in plain words.
26 Tua ni ciang in note in ka min taw nong ngen tu uh hi: taciang, Pa kung ah kong ngetsak tu hi, kong ci bua hi:
"In that day you shall pray in my name; and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;
27 Banghangziam cile Pa ama vateak ma in hong it hi, Pathian kung pan hongpai khi hi, ci na um zo uh hi, banghangziam cile nong it uh hang a hihi.
"for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and believed that I came forth from the God.
28 Pa kung pan kongpai a, leitung ah hong theng khi hi: leitung ka nusia tu a, Pa kung ah ka paikik tu hi, ci hi.
"I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world. again, I am leaving the world, and am going to the Father."
29 A nungzui te in ama kung ah, en in, tu in sontena zang ngawl in a thiangtak in nong son hi.
"Ah," said the disciples, "now you are speaking plain language, and not using figures.
30 Tu in nangma in na theampo na he hi, taciang kuama in thu hong dok kul ngawl hi, ci ka he uh hi: hi thu hang in nangma sia Pathian kung pan hongpai na hihi, ci ka um uh hi, ci uh hi.
Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for any one to question you; by this we believe that you came forth from God."
31 Jesus in amate tung ah, Tu in na um uh ziam?
"Do you now believe?" said Jesus;
32 En vun, a hun hong theng tu hi, tu in hong theng zo hi, tabang in na vekpi in noma om na mun tek ah na ki thethang siat tu uh hi, taciang keima bek nong nusia tu uh hi: ahihang keima bek hi ngawl khi hi, banghangziam cile Pa sia keima taw hong om hi.
"behold the hour approaches and is already come when you will be scattered, each man to his home, and will leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 Keima sung ah thinnopna na nei thei natu uh in, hi thu te kong son hi. Hi leitung ah haksatna nei tu nu hi: ahihang thinnuam in om vun, keima in leitung ka zo zo hi, ci hi.
"I have said all this to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be courageous; I have overcome the world."
