John 16
1 “I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.
“Ebyo mbibategeezezza muleme kwesittala.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
Banaabagobanga mu makuŋŋaaniro, era ekiseera kijja buli anaabattanga n’alowooza nti aweereza Katonda.
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.
Ebyo balibibakola kubanga Kitange tebaamumanya, era nange tebammanyi.
4 But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
Kale bino mbibabuulidde nga tebinnabaawo, ekiseera bwe kirituuka ne bibaawo mulyoke mujjukire nti nabagamba. Ebyo saabibategeerezaawo ku lubereberye kubanga nnali nkyali nammwe.
5 Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
Kaakano ŋŋenda eri eyantuma. Naye tewali n’omu ku mmwe ambuuza nti, ‘Ogenda wa?’
6 Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.
Naye kubanga mbategeezezza ebyo emitima gyammwe gijjudde ennaku.
7 But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
Naye mbategeereza ddala nti ekisinga obulungi gye muli Nze kwe kugenda. Kubanga bwe sigenda Omubeezi tagenda kujja, kyokka bwe ŋŋenda, ndimutuma gye muli.
8 And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
Ye bw’alijja, alirumiriza ensi olw’ekibi, n’olw’obutuukirivu n’olw’omusango,
9 in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;
kubanga tebanzikkiriza,
10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;
olw’obutuukirivu kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange era temukyandaba,
11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.
n’olw’omusango, kubanga omufuzi w’ensi eno asaliddwa omusango.
12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.
“Nkyalina bingi eby’okubategeeza naye kaakano temusobola kubitegeera.
13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.
Naye Omwoyo ow’amazima, bw’alijja alibaluŋŋamya mu mazima gonna, kubanga, taliyogera ku bubwe, wabula anaabategeezanga ebyo by’awulira. Anaababuuliranga ebigenda okubaawo.
14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.
Oyo agenda kungulumiza, kubanga agenda kubategeeza bye nnaamubuuliranga.
15 Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.
Byonna Kitange by’alina byange, kyenvudde ŋŋamba nti Mwoyo Mutukuvu anaabategeezanga bye nnaamubuuliranga.
16 In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”
Mu bbanga ttono munaaba temukyandaba, ate wanaayitawo ebbanga ttono ne mundaba!”
17 Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
Abamu ku bayigirizwa be ne beebuzaganya nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’agamba nti, ‘Mu bbanga ttono temuliddayo kundaba, ate mu bbanga ttono munandaba,’ era nti, ‘Kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange?’”
18 They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”
Ne beeyongera okwebuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’agamba nti, ‘Ebbanga ttono?’ Tetutegeera ky’agamba.”
19 Aware that they wanted to question Him, Jesus said to them, “Are you asking one another why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’?
Yesu bwe yamanya nga baagala okumubuuza n’abagamba nti, “Mwebuuzaganya ku kye ŋŋambye nti mu bbanga ttono munaaba temukyandaba ate wanaayitawo ebbanga ttono ne mundaba?
20 Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti mmwe mulikaaba, mulikuba ebiwoobe, naye ensi yo erisanyuka. Mmwe mulinakuwala naye okunakuwala kwammwe kulifuuka essanyu eritagambika bwe mulindabako nate.
21 A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.
Omukazi ng’azaala aba mu bulumi buyitirivu, kubanga ekiseera kye kituuse. Naye omwana bw’amala okuzaalibwa olwo omukazi aba takyajjukira bulumi buli olw’essanyu ery’okuzaala omuntu mu nsi.
22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
Kale nammwe kaakano munakuwadde, naye ndiddamu okubalaba ne musanyuka, era essanyu lyammwe tewali n’omu aliribaggyako.
23 In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
Mu kiseera ekyo nga temukyansaba kintu na kimu, mmwe bennyini munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange.
24 Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
Kino mubadde temukikola, naye kaakano mukitandike. Musabe mu linnya lyange, mujja kuweebwa ekyo kye musaba, essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire.
25 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
Ebyo mbibabuulidde mu ngero. Naye ekiseera kijja kutuuka nneme kwogera nammwe mu ngero, wabula mbabuulire lwatu ebifa ku Kitange.
26 In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
Mu kiseera ekyo mulisaba mu linnya lyange, so si Nze okubasabira eri Kitange.
27 For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
Kitange abaagala nnyo kubanga nammwe munjagala nnyo era mukkiriza nti nava eri Katonda.
28 I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”
Nava eri Kitange ne nzija mu nsi era nzija kuva mu nsi nzireyo eri Kitange.”
29 His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.
Awo abayigirizwa be ne bamugamba nti, “Kaakano oyogera lwatu, so si mu ngero.
30 Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”
Kaakano tutegedde ng’omanyi byonna, era nga tewali kyetaagisa kukubuuza. Kyetuva tukkiriza nga wava eri Katonda.”
31 “Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Kaakano mukkirizza?
32 “Look, an hour is coming and has already come when 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.
Laba, ekiseera kijja, era kituuse mwenna lwe munaasaasaana buli omu n’addayo ku bibye, ne mundeka nzekka. Kyokka sijja kuba nzekka, kubanga Kitange ali wamu nange.
33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
“Mbategeezezza ebyo byonna mulyoke mube n’emirembe mu nze. Mu nsi muno mujja kubonaabona, naye mugume, kubanga Nze mpangudde ensi.”
