Johana 16
1 “Asewachonu wechegi duto mondo kik ulal.
"I have told you all this so that you may not stumble.
2 Giniriembu e sinagogi; chutho ndalo biro ma ngʼama nonegu notim kamano kaparo ni otiyo ni Nyasaye.
"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 Ginitim kamano nikech ok gingʼeyo Wuora kata An.
"And they will do these things because they have not known my Father, nor me.
4 Asewachonu wechegi mondo ka ndalo ochopo to upar ni nasesiemou motelo. Ne ok awachonu wechegi chon nikech ne pod an kodu.
"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 “Koro adhi ir Ngʼat mane oora, to onge ngʼato kuomu mapenja ni, ‘Idhi kanye?’
"But now I go my way to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Nikech gik ma asewachonu, omiyo un gi kuyo.
"but sorrow has filled your hearts because I have told you these things.
7 To awachonu adier ni dhi ma adhigo biro kelonu ber. Ka ok adhi, to Jakony ok bi bironu; to ka adhi eka abiro oronugo.
"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 Ka obiro, nopuonj piny mondo ongʼe tiend richo, tim makare kod kum mabiro.
"And he, when he comes, will convict the world of sins and of righteousness and of judgment;
9 Obiro nyisogi ni tamruok yie Kuoma en richo.
"of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 Bende ka adok ir Wuora, kuma ok ginyal nenae, to giningʼe ni an ngʼat makare;
11 kendo abiro nyisogi kuom kum mabiro, nikech ruodh pinyni koro bura oseloyo.
"because the Prince of this world has been judged.
12 “An gi weche mangʼeny monego awachnu, to ok unyal winjo tiendgi sani.
"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them just now.
13 To ka Roho mar adiera, osebiro, to enopuonju adiera duto. Ok enobed janeno kuome owuon, to nowachnu mana gik mosebedo kowinjo kendo obiro nyisou gik mabiro timore bangʼe.
"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 Enomiya duongʼ, nikech gik ma enowachnu nokaw kuoma.
"He will glorify me; for he will take of what is mine and will make known to you.
15 Gik moko duto ma Wuora nigo gin maga. Mano emomiyo ne awachonu ni gik moko duto ma Roho nowachnu nogol kuoma.”
"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 Yesu nowacho bende niya, “Odongʼ ndalo matin to ok ubi nena, to bangʼe matin achien ubiro nena kendo.”
"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 Moko kuom jopuonjrene nopenjore e kindgi giwegi niya, “Ere tiend gima owachonwa ni, ‘Bangʼ kinde matin ok ubi nena, to achien unuchak unena,’ kendo owacho bende ni ‘adhi ka Wuoro’?”
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 Negimedo penjore kendgi niya, “Ere gima oparo kowacho ni, ‘Kinde matin?’ Ok wangʼeyo gima owacho.”
So they kept asking. "What does that ‘little while’ mean of which he speaks? We do not know what he is talking about."
19 Yesu noneno ka gidwaro penje tiend wachno, omiyo nowachonegi niya, “Dibed ni upenjoru e kindu tiend gima ne awachonu ni, ‘Odongʼ ndalo matin to ok ubi nena, to bangʼe matin achien ubiro nena?’
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 Adier, adier awachonu, ni ubiro goyo nduru kendo ubiro ywak ka piny to winjo maber. Kuyo to ubiro kuyo, to kata kamano kuyo maru biro lokore mor achien.
"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 Dhako madwaro nywolo nyathi nyaka muoch kaa nikech sane ochopo; to bangʼ nywolo nyathine, wiye wil gi muoch, nikech omor ni osenywolo dhano mangima e piny.
"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 Kamano un bende sani en sau mar kuyo, to ubiro bedo mamor ka ananeu bangʼe, kendo onge ngʼama nomau mor maru.
"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 Chiengʼno ok unukwaya gimoro amora. Awachonu adier ni Wuora biro miyou gimoro amora mukwayo e nyinga.
"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 Nyaka sani pok ukwayo gimoro amora e nyinga. Kwauru to nomiu, eka nubed mamor chuth.
"Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 “Kata obedo ni asebedo ka awuoyonu gi ngeche, to ndalo biro ma ok nawuo kodu kamano, to ananyisu maler kuom Wuora.
"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 Chiengʼno unukwa Wuoro e nyinga. Ok awach ni an ema nakwa Wuoro karu.
"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 Ooyo, Wuoro owuon oherou nikech usehera kendo useyie ni ne aa ka Nyasaye.
"for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and believed that I came forth from the God.
28 Ne aa ka Wuoro mi adonjo e piny, to sani koro aweyo piny kendo adok ir Wuoro.”
"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 Eka jopuonjre Yesu nowachone niya, “Ero koro iwuoyo kodwa maler ma ok itiyo gi ngeche.
"Ah," said the disciples, "now you are speaking plain language, and not using figures.
30 Koro wayie ni ingʼeyo gik moko duto kendo ni onge tiende mondo ngʼato ochandi gi penjo mathoth. Mano omiyo wayie ni ne ia ka Nyasaye.”
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 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Kare ber ka koro uyie!
"Do you now believe?" said Jesus;
32 To ndalo biro, kendo osechopo ma unukerue, ka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ringo dok dalane. Unuweya mi adongʼ kenda, kata kamano ok an kenda, nimar Wuora ni koda.
"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 “Asenyisou gigi mondo uyud kwe moa kuoma. E pinyni ubiro neno chandruok, to beduru gi chir nikech aseloyo piny.”
"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."
