John 14
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
“A dipelo tsa lona di se fuduege. Lo ikanya Modimo, jaanong inkanyeng le nna.
2 In my Father’s house are many homes. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
Go na le malapa a le mantsi kwa godimo kwa Rara o nnang teng, mme ke ya go a baakanyetsa go tla ga lona. Fa go setse go siame gotlhe, mme ke tlaa tla go lo tsaya, gore lo nne le nna ka metlha yotlhe kwa ke teng. Fa go ne go sa nna jalo nkabo ke lo boleletse sentle fela.
3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
4 You know where I go, and you know the way.”
Mme lo itse kwa ke yang teng le tsela e e yang teng lo a e itse.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
Thomase a mo raya a re, “Nnyaa, ga re itse, ga re na kitso epe ya kwa o yang teng, jaanong re ka itse tsela jang?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ke nna Tsela, ee, le Boammaaruri le Botshelo. Ga go na ope yo o ka tlang kwa go Rara fa e se ka nna.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.”
Fa lo ne lo itsile gore ke mang, hong lo ka bo lo itsile gore Rre ke mang. Go tloga fano lo a mo itse, ebile lo mmonye!”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Filipo a mo raya a re, “Morena, re supegetse Rara mme go tlaa bo go re lekanye.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Jesu a fetola a re, “A ga o ise o nkitse Filipo, le fa ke sa bolo go nna le wena ka lobaka lo lo kana? Le fa e le mang yo o mponyeng o bonye Rre! Jaanong ke eng fa o kopa go mmona?
10 Do not you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
A ga o dumele gore ke mo go Rara yo o agileng mo go nna. Ebile o dira tiro ya gagwe ka nna.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Dumela fela gore ke mo go Rara ebile le Rara o mo go nna. E seng jalo dumela ka ntlha ya dikgakgamatso tse dikgolo tse o mponyeng ke di dira.
12 Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
“Ka boammaaruri jo bo feletseng ke lo bolelela gore, le fa e le mang yo o dumelang mo go nna o tlaa dira dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirileng, gonne ke ya go nna le Rara. Lo ka mo kopa sengwe le sengwe lo dirisa leina la me, mme ke tlaa se dira, gonne mo go tlaa lere kgalaletso kwa go Rara ka ntlha ya se nna, Morwa, ke tlaa se lo direlang.
13 Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
Ee, lopang le fa e le eng lo dirisa leina la me mme ke tlaa se dira!”
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
“Fa e le gore lo a nthata, inkokobeletseng;
16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you in this age (aiōn g165):
mme ke tlaa kopa Rara mme o tlaa lo naya Mogomotsi yo mongwe, mme ga a kitla a lo tlogela. (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, for it does not see him and does not know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
Mogomotsi yoo ke Mowa O O Boitshepo, Mowa o o gogelang mo boammaaruring jotlhe. Lefatshe ka bophara ga le ka ke la o amogela, gonne ga le o batle ebile ga le o itse. Mme lona lo a mo itse gonne o nna le lona gompieno, mme mo malatsinyaneng a a latelang o tlaa bo o le mo go lona.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
Nnyaa, ga ke na go lo latlha kgotsa go lo tlogela lo le masiela mo setsuatsueng, ke tlaa tla kwa go lona.
19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
Mo lobakanyaneng ke tlaa bo ke tsamaile ke dule mo lefatsheng, mme ke tlaa bo ke sa ntse ke na le lona. Gonne ke tlaa tshela gape, mme le lona lo tlaa tshela.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
E tlaa re fa ke boela mo botshelong gape, lo tlaa itse gore ke mo go Rre, mme lona lo mo go nna le nna ke mo go lona.
21 One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
Ene yo o inkobelang ke ene yo o nthatang; mme ka ntlha ya gore o a nthata, Rara o tlaa mo rata; mme le nna ke tlaa mo rata, ke tlaa mo itshenolela.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Judase, (eseng Judase Isekariota, mme e leng morutwa yo mongwe wa gagwe yo o bidiwang ka leina leo le ene) a mo raya a re, “Morena, ke eng fa e le gore o tlaa itshenolela rona barutwa fela e seng lefatshe ka bophara?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Gonne ke tlaa itshenolela ba ba nthatang le ba ba inkobelang. Rara le ene o tlaa ba rata, mme re tlaa tla kwa go bone go nna nabo.
24 He who does not love me does not keep my words. The word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
Le fa e le mang yo o sa inkobelang ga a nthate. Mme gakologelwang, ga se nna ke arabang potso ya lona ka go bua jaana! Ke karabo e e tswang mo go Rara yo o nthomileng.
25 “I have said these things to you while still living with you.
Ke lo bolelela dilo tse gompieno ke sa ntse ke na le lona.
26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
Mme fa Rara a roma Mogomotsi mo boemong jwa me, mme ka Mogomotsi ke raya Mowa O O Boitshepo, o tlaa lo ruta go le go ntsi thata, le go lo gakolola sengwe le sengwe se nna ke se lo boleletseng.
27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
“Ke lo tlogela ka mpho, ebong, kagiso ya pelo le mogopolo. Mme kagiso e ke e lo nayang ga e senyege jaaka kagiso e lo e newang ke lefatshe. Mme ke gona se tshwenyegeng kgotsa lwa boifa.
28 You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.
Gakologelwang se ke se lo boleletseng, ke a tsamaya, le gale ke tlaa boela kwa go lona gape. Fa e le gore lo a nthata, lo tlaa intumelela, gonne jaanong nka ya kwa go Rara, yo o leng mogolo mo go nna.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
Ke lo boleletse dilo tse pele ga di diragala gore ere di diragala, lo tle lo ntumele.
30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
“Ga ke nako e ntsi ya go bua le lona, gonne Kgosana e e bosula ya lefatshe leno e a atamela. Ga e na nonofo epe mo go nna,
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
mme ke tlaa dira ka kgololesego se Rara o se batlang mo go nna gore lefatshe le tle le itse fa ke rata Rara. Tlang, a re tsamayeng.”
