John 16
1 These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.
“Ine ndakuwuzani zonsezi kuti musadzakhumudwe.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God.
Iwo adzakuchotsani mʼsunagoge mwawo. Kunena zoona, nthawi ikubwera imene aliyense amene adzakuphani adzaganiza kuti akutumikira Mulungu.
3 And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Iwo adzachita zoterozo chifukwa sanadziwe Atate kapena Inenso.
4 But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
Ine ndakuwuzani izi kuti nthawi ikadzafika mudzakumbukire kuti Ine ndinakuchenjezani kale. Ine sindinakuwuzeni izi poyamba paja chifukwa ndinali nanu.”
5 But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
“Tsopano Ine ndikupita kwa Iye amene anandituma koma palibe wina mwa inu akundifunsa kuti, ‘Kodi mukupita kuti?’
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
Muli ndi chisoni kwambiri chifukwa ndakuwuzani zimene.
7 But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
Komatu ndakuwuzani zoona. Ine ndikuti kuli bwino kwa inu kuti ndichoke. Ngati sindichoka, Nkhosweyo sidzabwera kwa inu, koma ngati Ine ndipita, ndidzamutumiza kwa inu.
8 And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.
Iye akabwera, adzatsutsa dziko lapansi za uchimo, zachilungamo ndi zachiweruzo.
9 Of sin: because they believed not in me.
Za uchimo, chifukwa anthu sakhulupirira Ine.
10 And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.
Za chilungamo, chifukwa Ine ndi kupita kwa Atate, kumene simudzandionanso.
11 And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
Za chiweruzo, chifukwa wolamulira dziko lino lapansi waweruzidwa tsopano.
12 I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
“Ine ndili ndi zambiri zoti ndiyankhule nanu, koma simungathe kuzilandira tsopano.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
Koma pamene Iye, Mzimu wachoonadi, abwera, adzakutsogolerani mʼchoonadi chonse. Iye sadzayankhula mwa Iye yekha, adzayankhula zokhazo zimene wamva ndipo Iye adzakuwuzani zimene zikubwera.
14 He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.
Iye adzalemekeza Ine chifukwa adzatenga za Ine nadzakudziwitsani.
15 All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.
Zonse za Atate ndi zanga. Ichi nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndanena kuti Mzimu Woyera adzatenga kwa Ine zanga kuti muzidziwe.”
16 A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.
Yesu anapitiriza kuyankhula kuti, “Mwa kanthawi kochepa, simudzandionanso, ndipo patatha nthawi pangʼono mudzandionanso.”
17 Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?
Ena a ophunzira ake anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, “Kodi Iye akutanthauza chiyani ponena kuti, ‘Mwa kanthawi kochepa, simudzandionanso,’ ndi ‘ndipo patatha nthawi pangʼono mudzandionanso,’ ndiponso ‘chifukwa ndikupita kwa Atate?’”
18 They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.
Iwo anapitiriza kufunsana kuti, “Kodi akutanthauza chiyani, ‘kanthawi kochepa?’ Ife sitikumvetsetsa chimene Iye akuyankhula.”
19 And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?
Yesu anadziwa kuti ankafuna kuti amufunse za zimenezi, choncho anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukufunsana wina ndi mnzake chimene Ine ndimatanthauza pamene ndinati, ‘Mwa kanthawi kochepa simudzandionanso,’ ndi ‘patatha nthawi pangʼono mudzandionanso?’
20 Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti inu mudzalira ndi kubuma pomwe dziko lapansi lidzakhale likukondwera. Inu mudzamva chisoni, koma chisoni chanu chidzasandulika chimwemwe.
21 A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
Mayi akamabereka mwana amamva ululu chifukwa nthawi yake yafika; koma mwana wake akabadwa amayiwala ululu wake chifukwa cha chimwemwe chake chakuti mwana wabadwa mʼdziko lapansi.
22 So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.
Chimodzimodzinso ndi inu. Tsopano ino ndi nthawi yanu yomva chisoni, koma Ine ndidzakuonaninso ndipo inu mudzasangalala, ndipo palibe amene adzachotsa chimwemwe chanu.
23 And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
Tsiku limenelo inu simudzandipemphanso kalikonse. Ine ndikukuwuzani zoona kuti Atate anga adzakupatsani chilichonse chimene mudzapempha mʼdzina langa.
24 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.
Mpaka tsopano simunapemphe kalikonse mʼdzina langa. Pemphani ndipo mudzalandira, ndipo chimwemwe chanu chidzakhala chathunthu.
25 These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.
“Ngakhale ndakhala ndikuyankhula mʼmafanizo, nthawi ikubwera imene Ine sindidzagwiritsanso ntchito mafanizo otere koma ndidzakuwuzani momveka za Atate anga.
26 In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:
Tsiku limenelo inu mudzapempha mʼdzina langa. Ine sindikunena kuti ndidzapempha Atate mʼmalo mwanu ayi.
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
Atate mwini anakukondani chifukwa inu mwandikonda Ine ndipo mwakhulupirira kuti Ine ndinabwera kuchokera kwa Atate.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
Ine ndinabwera kuchokera kwa Atate ndi kulowa mʼdziko lapansi. Tsopano ndikulisiya dziko lapansi kubwerera kwa Atate.”
29 His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Kenaka ophunzira ake anati, “Tsopano mukuyankhula momveka bwino ndi mopanda mafanizo.
30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
Tsopano ife tikuona kuti Inu mumadziwa zinthu zonse ndi kuti sipafunika wina aliyense kukufunsani. Mwa ichi ife takhulupirira kuti Inu munachokera kwa Mulungu.”
31 Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
Yesu anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi tsopano mwakhulupirira?”
32 Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
Koma nthawi ikubwera ndipo yafika, pamene inu mudzabalalitsidwa, aliyense ku nyumba yake. Inu mudzandisiya ndekhandekha. Koma Ine sindili ndekha, pakuti Atate anga ali nane.
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.
“Ine ndakuwuzani izi kuti mwa Ine mukhale nawo mtendere. Mʼdziko lapansi mudzakhala nawo mavuto. Koma limbikani mtima! Ine ndaligonjetsa dziko lapansi.”
