Yohana 16
1 “Nansalile yelei kuti nkaleka kukulupilila kwenu.
“I've told you this so you won't give up your trust in me.
2 Ŵandu chamminje ŵanyamwe mmajumba gao gakupopelela. Sooni chikaiche katema kanti jwalijose juchambulaje pasikati ja ŵanyamwe chaganisye kuti akwatyosyesya Akunnungu mbopesi.
They will expel you from the synagogues—in fact the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing God a service.
3 Chantende yeleyo pakuŵa ngakwamanyilila Atati natamuno ngakuumanyilila uneji.
They'll do this because they have never known the Father or me. I've told you this so that when these things happen, you'll remember what I told you.
4 Nambo, nansalile yelei kuti pachikaiche katema ka kukopochela nkumbuchile kuti nansalile. “Nganinansalila yelei kutyochela kundanda pakuŵa naliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
I didn't need to tell you this right at the beginning because I was going to be with you.
5 Nambo sambano ngwaula kwa ŵandumile une ŵala, ni ngapagwa namuno jumo jwenu jwakumusya kuti, ‘Nkwaula kwapi?’
But now I'm going to the one who sent me, and yet not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Pakuŵa nansalile yelei nsupwiche mmitima jenu.
Of course, now that I've told you, you're full of grief.
7 Nambo ngunsalila isyene, kwa liwamba lyenu mmbaya uneji nyaule, pakuŵa iŵaga ngunyaula, nkamusi jo ngaika kukwenu. Nambo najaulaga, chingantume kukwenu.
But I'm telling you the truth: it's better for you that I go away, for if I don't the Comforter won't come to you. If I go away, I will send him to you.
8 Nombewo pachaiche, chachamanyisya ŵandu ŵa pachilambo chi kuti ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati sambi ni nkati kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni nkati ŵandu kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu.
When he comes, he will convince those in the world that they have wrong ideas regarding sin, about what is right, and about judgment:
9 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati sambi ligongo nganangulupilila une.
Sin, for they don't trust in me.
10 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ligongo ngwaula kwa Atati ŵangu ni ŵanyamwe ngamuuwona sooni.
What is right, for I'm going to the Father and you won't see me any longer.
11 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati ŵandu kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu, ligongo Shetani jwakutawala chilambo chi amasile kulamulikwa.
Judgment, for the ruler of this world has been condemned.
12 “Ngwete yejinji yakunsalila, nambo sambano chinnepele kwipililila.
There's much more I want to explain to you, but you couldn't stand it now.
13 Nambo pachaiche Mbumu jwa Akunnungu juchansalile usyene nkati Akunnungu, chachinlongosya mu usyene wose. Ngaasala kwa ulamusi wakwe nsyene nambo chachisala ichaipilikane kutyochela kwa Atati ni kummanyisya ichiiche.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes, he will teach you the whole truth. He doesn't speak for himself, but he only says what he hears, and he will tell you what's going to happen.
14 Ŵelewo changusye une ligongo chachinsalila yeila ichinansalile une.
He brings me glory for he teaches you whatever he receives from me.
15 Yose yalinayo Atati ŵangu ili yangu une, kwa ligongo lyo sasile kuti Mbumu jo chachinsalila ichinaasalile une.
All that belongs to the Father is mine. This is why I said that the Spirit teaches you whatever he receives from me.
16 “Gasigele moŵa kanandi ni ŵanyamwe ngamuuwona sooni, ni pakumala moŵa kanandi, chimuuwone sooni!”
In a little while you won't see me anymore, but then a little while after that you will see me.”
17 Pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵampepe ŵausyene, “Malumbo gakwe chichi pakutusalila, ‘Gasigele moŵa kanandi ni ŵanyamwe ngamuuwona sooni, ni pakumala moŵa kanandi, chimuuwone sooni?’ Ni sooni ŵatite, ‘Pakuŵa ngwaula kwa Atati ŵangu!’”
Some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me’? and ‘For I'm going to the Father’?”
18 Nipele, ŵajendelechele kuusyana, “Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pakuŵecheta, ‘Gasigele moŵa kanandi?’ Ngatukuchimanyilila chakuchigamba cho.”
They were asking, “What does he mean by ‘in a little while’? We don't know what he's talking about.”
19 Che Yesu ŵaimanyi kuti ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵasachile kwausya yankati yeleyo, nipele ŵaasalile, “Ana nkuusyana nkati yeila imechete kuti, ‘Gasigele moŵa kanandi ni ŵanyamwe ngamuuwona sooni, ni pakumala moŵa kanandi, chimuuwone sooni?’
Jesus realized that they wanted to ask him about this. So he asked them, “Are you wondering about my comment, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me’?
20 Ngunsalila isyene, ŵanyamwe chinlile ni kulila kwa malumbo, nambo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano chasangalale. Ŵanyamwe chinsupuche nambo kusupuka kwenu chikugalauche kusangalala.
I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will turn into joy.
21 Katema ka kuligopola jwankongwe chikwasimana chilungusi ligongo katema kakwe ka kupeteka kaiche, nambo aligopolaga mwanache ngakukumbuchilila kupeteka kula, nambo akusangalala pakuŵa apagwile mwanache mchilambo.
A woman in labor suffers pain because her time has come, but once the baby is born, she forgets the agony because of the joy that a child has been brought into the world.
22 Nombe ŵanyamwe sambano nkusupuka, nambo pachinambone sooni chinsangalale mmitima jenu ni sangalala jo ngapagwa jwalijose juchakombole kujityosya kukwenu.
Yes, you're grieving now, but I will see you again; and you will rejoice, and no one can take away your joy.
23 “Lyele lyuŵa lyo ngamuusya chachili chose. Ngunsalila isyene, chachili chose chachimwaŵende Atati champe kwa liina lyangu.
When that time comes you won't need to ask me about anything. I tell you the truth, the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
24 Natamuno sambano nganimmende chachili chose kwa liina lyangu. Mmende ni ŵanyamwe chinchipata kuti sangalale jenu jimalile.
Until now you haven't asked for anything in my name, so ask and you shall receive, and your happiness will be complete.
25 “Nansalile gelega kwa itagu. Nambo chijiiche ndaŵi jati ngamecheta ni ŵanyamwe sooni kwa itagu, nambo chinansalile pangasisa yankati Atati.
I've been talking to you using picture language. But shortly I won't use such picture language any more when I speak to you. Instead I'll explain the Father to you very plainly.
26 Lyuŵa lyo chinchiŵenda kwa liina lyangu, ni ngangunsalila kuti chisachilwe kummendela kwa Atati,
At that time you will ask in my name. I'm not saying to you that I will plead with the Father on your behalf,
27 pakuŵa Atati asyene akunnonyela ŵanyamwe. Akunnonyela ŵanyamwe ligongo ŵanyamwe muunonyele uneji, ni kukulupilila kuti uneji natyochele kwa Akunnungu.
for the Father himself loves you—because you love me and believe that I came from God.
28 Uneji natyochele kwa Atati, ni kwika pachilambo, ni sambano nguchileka chilambo ni kuuja kwa Atati.”
I left the Father and came into the world; now I leave the world and return to my Father.”
29 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaasalile, “Nnole sambano nkuŵecheta pangasisa, ngankuŵecheta kwa itagu.
Then the disciples said, “Now you're talking very plainly and not using picture language.
30 Sambano tuimanyi kuti mmwe nkuimanyilila yose ni ngapagwa ligongo lya mundu jwalijose kummusya, chelecho ni chachikututenda tukulupilile kuti nkopochele kwa Akunnungu.”
Now we're certain that you know everything, and that in order to know what questions people are thinking you don't need to ask them. This convinces us that you came from God.”
31 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana sambano nkukulupilila?
“Are you really convinced now?” Jesus asked.
32 Nnole lyuŵa likwika, sooni liiche lyati chimpwilingane jwalijose kumangwakwe, ni kuuneka jika. Nambo uneji nguuŵa jika, pakuŵa Atati ali pamo ni une.
“The time is coming—in fact it's just about to happen—when you will be scattered, each of you to your own homes, leaving me all alone. But I'm not really alone, for the Father is with me.
33 Nansalile gelega kuti nlumbikane ni uneji ni kukola chitendewele. Mchilambo chinsauche, nambo muusimane ntima! Uneji nachipundile chilambo!”
I've told you all this so that you may have peace because you are one with me. You will suffer in this world, but be brave—I have defeated the world!”
