< Yohana 16 >

1 “Nansalile yelei kuti nkaleka kukulupilila kwenu.
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be offended:
2 Ŵandu chamminje ŵanyamwe mmajumba gao gakupopelela. Sooni chikaiche katema kanti jwalijose juchambulaje pasikati ja ŵanyamwe chaganisye kuti akwatyosyesya Akunnungu mbopesi.
for they will excommunicate you: yea, the time is coming, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he offers an acceptable service to God.
3 Chantende yeleyo pakuŵa ngakwamanyilila Atati natamuno ngakuumanyilila uneji.
And these things will they do unto you; because they have not 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.
But I have told you these things, that when the time cometh, ye may remember that I told you of them. Though I did not tell you of them 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?’
But now I am going away to Him that sent me, and yet none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going? but because I have said these things to you,
6 Pakuŵa nansalile yelei nsupwiche mmitima jenu.
sorrow hath 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 is expedient for you that I should go away; for if I go not away, the comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto 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.
And when He comes, He will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement:
9 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati sambi ligongo nganangulupilila une.
of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ligongo ngwaula kwa Atati ŵangu ni ŵanyamwe ngamuuwona sooni.
of righteousness, because I am going to my Father and ye shall see me no more;
11 Ngakuumanyilila usyene nkati ŵandu kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu, ligongo Shetani jwakutawala chilambo chi amasile kulamulikwa.
and of judgement, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 “Ngwete yejinji yakunsalila, nambo sambano chinnepele kwipililila.
I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot 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.
But when the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He will not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that will He speak, and will shew you things to come.
14 Ŵelewo changusye une ligongo chachinsalila yeila ichinansalile une.
He shall glorify me, for He shall take of mine and shew it unto you.
15 Yose yalinayo Atati ŵangu ili yangu une, kwa ligongo lyo sasile kuti Mbumu jo chachinsalila ichinaasalile une.
All that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that He shall take of mine and shew it unto you.
16 “Gasigele moŵa kanandi ni ŵanyamwe ngamuuwona sooni, ni pakumala moŵa kanandi, chimuuwone sooni!”
A little while and ye shall not see me: and again a little while and ye shall see me, because I am going 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!’”
Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is the meaning of this that He saith to us, A little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye shall see me, and---because I am going to the Father?
18 Nipele, ŵajendelechele kuusyana, “Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pakuŵecheta, ‘Gasigele moŵa kanandi?’ Ngatukuchimanyilila chakuchigamba cho.”
they said therefore, What is this little while that He speaks of? we do not understand what He means.
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 therefore said unto them, Are ye enquiring among each other about this, that I said, A little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye shall see me?
20 Ngunsalila isyene, ŵanyamwe chinlile ni kulila kwa malumbo, nambo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pano chasangalale. Ŵanyamwe chinsupuche nambo kusupuka kwenu chikugalauche kusangalala.
Verily I tell you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall 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 when she is in labor, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she is delivered of the child, she thinks no more of the anguish, for joy, that a man is born into the world.
22 Nombe ŵanyamwe sambano nkusupuka, nambo pachinambone sooni chinsangalale mmitima jenu ni sangalala jo ngapagwa jwalijose juchakombole kujityosya kukwenu.
And ye therefore now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy shall no one take from you.
23 “Lyele lyuŵa lyo ngamuusya chachili chose. Ngunsalila isyene, chachili chose chachimwaŵende Atati champe kwa liina lyangu.
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing: but I assure you, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He will give it you.
24 Natamuno sambano nganimmende chachili chose kwa liina lyangu. Mmende ni ŵanyamwe chinchipata kuti sangalale jenu jimalile.
Hitherto ye have asked for nothing in my name: ask and ye shall 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.
These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the time is coming when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but tell you with plainness concerning the Father.
26 Lyuŵa lyo chinchiŵenda kwa liina lyangu, ni ngangunsalila kuti chisachilwe kummendela kwa Atati,
In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I do not say that I will ask 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 loveth you; because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God: and I indeed came from the Father,
28 Uneji natyochele kwa Atati, ni kwika pachilambo, ni sambano nguchileka chilambo ni kuuja kwa Atati.”
and am come into the world: but now I am leaving the world again, and am going to the Father.
29 Nipele ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaasalile, “Nnole sambano nkuŵecheta pangasisa, ngankuŵecheta kwa itagu.
His disciples said unto Him, Now indeed Thou speakest plainly, and usest no parable.
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 convinced that Thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any one should ask Thee: by this we believe that Thou camest forth from God.
31 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana sambano nkukulupilila?
Jesus answered them, Do ye 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.
Behold, the time is coming, and is even now come, that ye shall be dispersed every one his own way, and shall leave me alone: but I am not 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!”
These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have trouble: but be of good courage, I have overcome the world.
