Yohana 16
1 “Nansalile yelei kuti nkaleka kukulupilila kwenu.
“I have told you these things so that you may be kept from stumbling.
2 Ŵandu chamminje ŵanyamwe mmajumba gao gakupopelela. Sooni chikaiche katema kanti jwalijose juchambulaje pasikati ja ŵanyamwe chaganisye kuti akwatyosyesya Akunnungu mbopesi.
They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that they are serving God.
3 Chantende yeleyo pakuŵa ngakwamanyilila Atati natamuno ngakuumanyilila uneji.
They will do these things to you because they haven’t known the Father nor me.
4 Nambo, nansalile yelei kuti pachikaiche katema ka kukopochela nkumbuchile kuti nansalile. “Nganinansalila yelei kutyochela kundanda pakuŵa naliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 Nambo sambano ngwaula kwa ŵandumile une ŵala, ni ngapagwa namuno jumo jwenu jwakumusya kuti, ‘Nkwaula kwapi?’
“Now I am going to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Pakuŵa nansalile yelei nsupwiche mmitima jenu.
Instead, because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Nambo ngunsalila isyene, kwa liwamba lyenu mmbaya uneji nyaule, pakuŵa iŵaga ngunyaula, nkamusi jo ngaika kukwenu. Nambo najaulaga, chingantume kukwenu.
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it’s to your advantage that I go away; because if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you; but if I go, 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 has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati sambi ligongo nganangulupilila une.
of sin, because they don’t believe in me;
10 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ligongo ngwaula kwa Atati ŵangu ni ŵanyamwe ngamuuwona sooni.
of righteousness, because I go to my Father and you see me no more;
11 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati ŵandu kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu, ligongo Shetani jwakutawala chilambo chi amasile kulamulikwa.
and of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “Ngwete yejinji yakunsalila, nambo sambano chinnepele kwipililila.
“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them 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 has come, He will guide you into all truth. He won’t speak on His own, but whatever He hears He will speak. He will announce things to come.
14 Ŵelewo changusye une ligongo chachinsalila yeila ichinansalile une.
He will glorify me, because He will take from what is mine and reveal it to you.
15 Yose yalinayo Atati ŵangu ili yangu une, kwa ligongo lyo sasile kuti Mbumu jo chachinsalila ichinaasalile une.
Everything that the Father has is mine. That is why I said that He will take from what is mine and reveal it to you.
16 “Gasigele moŵa kanandi ni ŵanyamwe ngamuuwona sooni, ni pakumala moŵa kanandi, chimuuwone sooni!”
“In a little while, you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me again, because I go to the Father.”
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!’”
Then some of Jesus’ disciples said among themselves, “What does He mean by, ‘In a little while, and you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me, again;’ and, ‘because I go to the Father’?”
18 Nipele, ŵajendelechele kuusyana, “Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pakuŵecheta, ‘Gasigele moŵa kanandi?’ Ngatukuchimanyilila chakuchigamba cho.”
They kept asking, “What does He mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what He is saying.”
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?’
Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you asking yourselves about what I said, ‘In a little while, and you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me, again’?
20 Ngunsalila isyene, ŵanyamwe chinlile ni kulila kwa malumbo, nambo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano chasangalale. Ŵanyamwe chinsupuche nambo kusupuka kwenu chikugalauche kusangalala.
Most assuredly, I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will be sad, but your sadness will be turned 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 is in pain because her time has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the baby, she forgets the agony, for joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 Nombe ŵanyamwe sambano nkusupuka, nambo pachinambone sooni chinsangalale mmitima jenu ni sangalala jo ngapagwa jwalijose juchakombole kujityosya kukwenu.
Therefore you have sorrow now, too, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and nobody will take your joy away from you.
23 “Lyele lyuŵa lyo ngamuusya chachili chose. Ngunsalila isyene, chachili chose chachimwaŵende Atati champe kwa liina lyangu.
“In that day you will ask me nothing. Most assuredly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
24 Natamuno sambano nganimmende chachili chose kwa liina lyangu. Mmende ni ŵanyamwe chinchipata kuti sangalale jenu jimalile.
Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
25 “Nansalile gelega kwa itagu. Nambo chijiiche ndaŵi jati ngamecheta ni ŵanyamwe sooni kwa itagu, nambo chinansalile pangasisa yankati Atati.
“I’ve told you these things in figures of speech, but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 Lyuŵa lyo chinchiŵenda kwa liina lyangu, ni ngangunsalila kuti chisachilwe kummendela kwa Atati,
In that day you will ask in my name. I don’t tell you that I’ll ask the Father for you,
27 pakuŵa Atati asyene akunnonyela ŵanyamwe. Akunnonyela ŵanyamwe ligongo ŵanyamwe muunonyele uneji, ni kukulupilila kuti uneji natyochele kwa Akunnungu.
because the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
28 Uneji natyochele kwa Atati, ni kwika pachilambo, ni sambano nguchileka chilambo ni kuuja kwa Atati.”
I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaasalile, “Nnole sambano nkuŵecheta pangasisa, ngankuŵecheta kwa itagu.
His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and not in figures of speech!
30 Sambano tuimanyi kuti mmwe nkuimanyilila yose ni ngapagwa ligongo lya mundu jwalijose kummusya, chelecho ni chachikututenda tukulupilile kuti nkopochele kwa Akunnungu.”
Now we are sure that You know everything, and don’t need anyone to question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”
31 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana sambano nkukulupilila?
Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
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, and indeed, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 Nansalile gelega kuti nlumbikane ni uneji ni kukola chitendewele. Mchilambo chinsauche, nambo muusimane ntima! Uneji nachipundile chilambo!”
I have told you these things so that you may have peace in me. You will have trouble in the world, but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
