John 16
1 “I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.
yuṣmākaṁ yathā vādhā na jāyate tadarthaṁ yuṣmān etāni sarvvavākyāni vyāharaṁ|
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.
lokā yuṣmān bhajanagṛhebhyo dūrīkariṣyanti tathā yasmin samaye yuṣmān hatvā īśvarasya tuṣṭi janakaṁ karmmākurmma iti maṁsyante sa samaya āgacchanti|
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.
te pitaraṁ māñca na jānanti, tasmād yuṣmān pratīdṛśam ācariṣyanti|
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.
ato hetāḥ samaye samupasthite yathā mama kathā yuṣmākaṁ manaḥsuḥ samupatiṣṭhati tadarthaṁ yuṣmābhyam etāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmi yuṣmābhiḥ sārddham ahaṁ tiṣṭhan prathamaṁ tāṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ nākathayaṁ|
5 Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
sāmprataṁ svasya prerayituḥ samīpaṁ gacchāmi tathāpi tvaṁ kka gacchasi kathāmetāṁ yuṣmākaṁ kopi māṁ na pṛcchati|
6 Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.
kintu mayoktābhirābhiḥ kathābhi ryūṣmākam antaḥkaraṇāni duḥkhena pūrṇānyabhavan|
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.
tathāpyahaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi mama gamanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ hitārthameva, yato heto rgamane na kṛte sahāyo yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ nāgamiṣyati kintu yadi gacchāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ samīpe taṁ preṣayiṣyāmi|
8 And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
tataḥ sa āgatya pāpapuṇyadaṇḍeṣu jagato lokānāṁ prabodhaṁ janayiṣyati|
9 in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;
te mayi na viśvasanti tasmāddhetoḥ pāpaprabodhaṁ janayiṣyati|
10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;
yuṣmākam adṛśyaḥ sannahaṁ pituḥ samīpaṁ gacchāmi tasmād puṇye prabodhaṁ janayiṣyati|
11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.
etajjagato'dhipati rdaṇḍājñāṁ prāpnoti tasmād daṇḍe prabodhaṁ janayiṣyati|
12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.
yuṣmabhyaṁ kathayituṁ mamānekāḥ kathā āsate, tāḥ kathā idānīṁ yūyaṁ soḍhuṁ na śaknutha;
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.
kintu satyamaya ātmā yadā samāgamiṣyati tadā sarvvaṁ satyaṁ yuṣmān neṣyati, sa svataḥ kimapi na vadiṣyati kintu yacchroṣyati tadeva kathayitvā bhāvikāryyaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayiṣyati|
14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.
mama mahimānaṁ prakāśayiṣyati yato madīyāṁ kathāṁ gṛhītvā yuṣmān bodhayiṣyati|
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.
pitu ryadyad āste tat sarvvaṁ mama tasmād kāraṇād avādiṣaṁ sa madīyāṁ kathāṁ gṛhītvā yuṣmān bodhayiṣyati|
16 In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”
kiyatkālāt paraṁ yūyaṁ māṁ draṣṭuṁ na lapsyadhve kintu kiyatkālāt paraṁ puna rdraṣṭuṁ lapsyadhve yatohaṁ pituḥ samīpaṁ gacchāmi|
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’?”
tataḥ śiṣyāṇāṁ kiyanto janāḥ parasparaṁ vaditum ārabhanta, kiyatkālāt paraṁ māṁ draṣṭuṁ na lapsyadhve kintu kiyatkālāt paraṁ puna rdraṣṭuṁ lapsyadhve yatohaṁ pituḥ samīpaṁ gacchāmi, iti yad vākyam ayaṁ vadati tat kiṁ?
18 They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”
tataḥ kiyatkālāt param iti tasya vākyaṁ kiṁ? tasya vākyasyābhiprāyaṁ vayaṁ boddhuṁ na śaknumastairiti
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’?
nigadite yīśusteṣāṁ praśnecchāṁ jñātvā tebhyo'kathayat kiyatkālāt paraṁ māṁ draṣṭuṁ na lapsyadhve, kintu kiyatkālāt paraṁ pūna rdraṣṭuṁ lapsyadhve, yāmimāṁ kathāmakathayaṁ tasyā abhiprāyaṁ kiṁ yūyaṁ parasparaṁ mṛgayadhve?
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.
yuṣmānaham atiyathārthaṁ vadāmi yūyaṁ krandiṣyatha vilapiṣyatha ca, kintu jagato lokā ānandiṣyanti; yūyaṁ śokākulā bhaviṣyatha kintu śokāt paraṁ ānandayuktā bhaviṣyatha|
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.
prasavakāla upasthite nārī yathā prasavavedanayā vyākulā bhavati kintu putre bhūmiṣṭhe sati manuṣyaiko janmanā naraloke praviṣṭa ityānandāt tasyāstatsarvvaṁ duḥkhaṁ manasi na tiṣṭhati,
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.
tathā yūyamapi sāmprataṁ śokākulā bhavatha kintu punarapi yuṣmabhyaṁ darśanaṁ dāsyāmi tena yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇāni sānandāni bhaviṣyanti, yuṣmākaṁ tam ānandañca kopi harttuṁ na śakṣyati|
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.
tasmin divase kāmapi kathāṁ māṁ na prakṣyatha| yuṣmānaham atiyathārthaṁ vadāmi, mama nāmnā yat kiñcid pitaraṁ yāciṣyadhve tadeva sa dāsyati|
24 Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
pūrvve mama nāmnā kimapi nāyācadhvaṁ, yācadhvaṁ tataḥ prāpsyatha tasmād yuṣmākaṁ sampūrṇānando janiṣyate|
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.
upamākathābhiḥ sarvvāṇyetāni yuṣmān jñāpitavān kintu yasmin samaye upamayā noktvā pituḥ kathāṁ spaṣṭaṁ jñāpayiṣyāmi samaya etādṛśa āgacchati|
26 In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
tadā mama nāmnā prārthayiṣyadhve 'haṁ yuṣmannimittaṁ pitaraṁ vineṣye kathāmimāṁ na vadāmi;
27 For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
yato yūyaṁ mayi prema kurutha, tathāham īśvarasya samīpād āgatavān ityapi pratītha, tasmād kāraṇāt kāraṇāt pitā svayaṁ yuṣmāsu prīyate|
28 I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”
pituḥ samīpājjajad āgatosmi jagat parityajya ca punarapi pituḥ samīpaṁ gacchāmi|
29 His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.
tadā śiṣyā avadan, he prabho bhavān upamayā noktvādhunā spaṣṭaṁ vadati|
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.”
bhavān sarvvajñaḥ kenacit pṛṣṭo bhavitumapi bhavataḥ prayojanaṁ nāstītyadhunāsmākaṁ sthirajñānaṁ jātaṁ tasmād bhavān īśvarasya samīpād āgatavān ityatra vayaṁ viśvasimaḥ|
31 “Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.
tato yīśuḥ pratyavādīd idānīṁ kiṁ yūyaṁ viśvasitha?
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.
paśyata sarvve yūyaṁ vikīrṇāḥ santo mām ekākinaṁ pīratyajya svaṁ svaṁ sthānaṁ gamiṣyatha, etādṛśaḥ samaya āgacchati varaṁ prāyeṇopasthitavān; tathāpyahaṁ naikākī bhavāmi yataḥ pitā mayā sārddham āste|
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!”
yathā mayā yuṣmākaṁ śānti rjāyate tadartham etāḥ kathā yuṣmabhyam acakathaṁ; asmin jagati yuṣmākaṁ kleśo ghaṭiṣyate kintvakṣobhā bhavata yato mayā jagajjitaṁ|
