John 16
1 “These things I have spoken to you, so that you would not stumble.
N'khah uh pawt ham ni nangmih taengah he he ka thui.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues. But the hour is coming when everyone who puts you to death will consider that he is offering an excellent service to God.
Nangmih te a hael la n'haek uh ni. A tue ha pawk vaengah hlang boeih loh nangmih n'ngawn te Pathen taengkah thothuengnah a khueh la a ngai uh ni.
3 And they will do these things to you because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Te khaw a Pa neh kai m'ming uh pawt dongah ni a saii uh eh.
4 But these things I have spoken to you, so that, when the hour for these things will have arrived, you may remember that I told you.
Tedae he he nangmih kan thui coeng. Te daengah ni a tue ha pawk vaengah kai loh nangmih kan ti nah te na poek uh eh. Tedae nangmih taengah ka om dongah hekah he a tongcuek lamloh nangmih ham ka thui moenih.
5 But I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I am going to him who sent me. And no one among you has asked me, ‘Where are you going?’
Tedae kai aka tueih taengah ka cet pawn ni. Nangmih loh, “Melam na caeh eh?” tila kai nan dawt uh moenih.
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Te phoeiah hekah he nangmih taengah ka thui coeng dongah kothaenah loh nangmih thinko te a koei.
7 But I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I am going. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But when I will have gone away, I will send him to you.
Tedae kai loh nangmih taengah oltak ka thui, Kai ka caeh te nangmih ham rhoei bet. Ka cet pawt koinih nangmih taengah baerhoep te ha pawk mahpawh, Tedae ka caeh atah nangmih taengla anih kan tueih ni.
8 And when he has arrived, he will argue against the world, about sin and about justice and about judgment:
Anih te ha pawk vaengah diklai te tholh kawng khaw, duengnah kawng khaw, laitloeknah kawng khaw.
9 about sin, indeed, because they have not believed in me;
Kai n'tangnah uh pawt dongah tholhnah kawng.
10 about justice, truly, because I am going to the Father, and you will not see me any longer;
Pa taengla ka cet vetih kai nan hmuh uh voel pawt ham dongah duengnah kawng khaw.
11 about judgment, then, because the prince of this world has already been judged.
He diklai boei te lai a tloek coeng dongah laitloeknah kawng khaw a toeltham ni.
12 I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.
Nangmih taengah thui ham muep om pueng dae nangmih loh tahae ah na doe uh tloel.
13 But when the Spirit of truth has arrived, he will teach the whole truth to you. For he will not be speaking from himself. Instead, whatever he will hear, he will speak. And he will announce to you the things that are to come.
Tedae amah ha pawk vaengah tah, oltak Mueihla loh nangmih te oltak dongah a cungkuem la long n'tueng ni. Amah lamloh thui pawt vetih a yaak te boeih a thui ni. Te vaengah aka lo te khaw nangmih taengah ha puen ni.
14 He shall glorify me. For he will receive from what is mine, and he will announce it to you.
Te long ni kai n'thangpom eh. Kamah hut te a doe vetih nangmih taengla ha puen ni.
15 All things whatsoever that the Father has are mine. For this reason, I said that he will receive from what is mine and that he will announce it to you.
Pa loh a khueh boeih te kai kah ni, Te dongah, ‘Kamah kah te a doe tih nangmih taengah ka puen bitni,’ ka ti.
16 A little while, and then you will not see me. And again a little while, and you will see me. For I am going to the Father.”
“Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh pawt sui dae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
17 Then some of his disciples said to one another: “What is this, that he is saying to us: ‘A little while, and you will not see me,’ and ‘Again a little while, and you will see me,’ and, ‘For I am going to the Father?’”
Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek khuiah khat neh khat te, “Mamih taengah, ‘Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh voel pawt sui dae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni. Te phoeiah pa taengla ka cet ni,’ a ti te metlam a om,” a ti uh.
18 And they said: “What is this, that he is saying, ‘A little while?’ We do not understand what he is saying.”
Te dongah, “A thui te me tlam nim a om te? ‘Kolkalh ah’ a ti te m'ming uh moenih,” a ti uh.
19 But Jesus realized that they wanted to question him, and so he said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about this, that I said: ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’
Anih dawt ham a ngaih uh te Jesuh loh a ming dongah amih te, “‘Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh mahpawh, Tedae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni,’ tila ka thui dongah he khat neh khat na dawt uh thae.
20 Amen, amen, I say to you, that you shall mourn and weep, but the world will rejoice. And you shall be greatly saddened, yet your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, na rhap uh vetih na nguek uh ni. Tedae diklai loh a uem vetih na kothae uh ni. Tedae nangmih kah kothaenah te omngaihnah la poeh ni.
21 A woman, when she is giving birth, has sorrow, because her hour has arrived. But when she has given birth to the child, then she no longer remembers the difficulties, because of the joy: for a man has been born into the world.
Huta loh a tue a pha tih ca a cun vaengah kothaenah a khueh. Tedae camoe te a cun vaengah tah diklai ah hlang a cun te a omngaihnah neh phacip phabaem te poek pawh.
22 Therefore, you also, indeed, have sorrow now. But I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice. And no one will take away your joy from you.
Te dongah nangmih khaw tahae ah kothaenah na khueh uh dae nangmih te koep kan hip vetih nangmih thinko loh omngaih bitni. Nangmih kah omngaihnah te nangmih lamkah rhawt uh mahpawh.
23 And, in that day, you will not petition me for anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in my name, he will give it to you.
Tekah khohnin ah kai nan dawt uh loengloeng mahpawh. Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, kai ming neh Pa taengah na bih te tah nangmih m'paek bitni.
24 Until now, you have not requested anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, so that your joy may be full.
Tahae duela kai ming neh na bih uh te a hong moenih. Bih uh lamtah na dang uh bitni. Te daengah ni nangmih kah omngaihnah loh a soep la a om eh.
25 I have spoken these things to you in proverbs. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in proverbs; instead, I will announce to you plainly from the Father.
Thuidoeknah neh nangmih taengah hekah he ka thui coeng. A tue ha pawk vaengah tah thuidoeknah neh nangmih kam voek voel mahpawh. Tedae pa kawng nangmih taengah sayalh la ka puen bitni.
26 In that day, you shall ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you.
Tekah khohnin ah kai ming neh na bih uh ni. Tedae nangmih ham kai loh a pa taengah ka dawt ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui moenih.
27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and because you have believed that I went forth from God.
Pa amah loh nangmih n'lungnah te nangmih loh kai nan lungnah tih Pathen lamkah ka suntlak he na tangnah uh dongah ni.
28 I went forth from the Father, and I have come into the world. Next I am leaving the world, and I am going to the Father.”
“Pa taeng lamkah ka lo tih diklai la kam pha coeng. Diklai te ka hlah vetih pa taengah koep ka cet ni,” a ti nah.
29 His disciples said to him: “Behold, now you are speaking plainly and not reciting a proverb.
A hnukbang rhoek loh, “Sayalh la na thui coeng tih thuidoeknah na thui pawt la he.
30 Now we know that you know all things, and that you have no need for anyone to question you. By this, we believe that you went forth from God.”
Boeih na ming dongah u long khaw nang dawt ham pakhat khaw ngoe pawh tila ka ming uh coeng, te nen ni Pathen taeng lamkah na lo te kan tangnah uh,” a ti nah.
31 Jesus answered them: “Do you believe now?
Jesuh loh amih te, “Na tangnah uh pawn a?
32 Behold, the hour is coming, and it has now arrived, when you will be scattered, each one on his own, and you will leave me behind, alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
A tue ha pawk coeng ke, pakhat rhip loh amah amah ah na taekyak uh tih kamah bueng nan hlah uh ham ni ha pawk coeng, Tedae a pa he kai taengah om tih kamah bueng ka om moenih.
33 These things I have spoken to you, so that you may have peace in me. In the world, you will have difficulties. But have confidence: I have overcome the world.”
He he nangmih taengah ka thui daengah ni kai rhangneh ngaimongnah na dang uh eh. Diklai ah phacip phabaem na dang uh ni. Tedae na ngaimong sak uh. Kai loh diklai ka noeng coeng,” a ti nah.
