John 16
1 These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.
“Ebyo mbibategeezezza muleme kwesittala.
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.
Banaabagobanga mu makuŋŋaaniro, era ekiseera kijja buli anaabattanga n’alowooza nti aweereza Katonda.
3 And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Ebyo balibibakola kubanga Kitange tebaamumanya, era nange tebammanyi.
4 But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
Kale bino mbibabuulidde nga tebinnabaawo, ekiseera bwe kirituuka ne bibaawo mulyoke mujjukire nti nabagamba. Ebyo saabibategeerezaawo ku lubereberye kubanga nnali nkyali nammwe.
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?
Kaakano ŋŋenda eri eyantuma. Naye tewali n’omu ku mmwe ambuuza nti, ‘Ogenda wa?’
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
Naye kubanga mbategeezezza ebyo emitima gyammwe gijjudde ennaku.
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.
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 is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.
Ye bw’alijja, alirumiriza ensi olw’ekibi, n’olw’obutuukirivu n’olw’omusango,
9 Of sin: because they believed not in me.
kubanga tebanzikkiriza,
10 And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.
olw’obutuukirivu kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange era temukyandaba,
11 And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
n’olw’omusango, kubanga omufuzi w’ensi eno asaliddwa omusango.
12 I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
“Nkyalina bingi eby’okubategeeza naye kaakano temusobola kubitegeera.
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.
Naye Omwoyo ow’amazima, bw’alijja alibaluŋŋamya mu mazima gonna, kubanga, taliyogera ku bubwe, wabula anaabategeezanga ebyo by’awulira. Anaababuuliranga ebigenda okubaawo.
14 He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.
Oyo agenda kungulumiza, kubanga agenda kubategeeza bye nnaamubuuliranga.
15 All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.
Byonna Kitange by’alina byange, kyenvudde ŋŋamba nti Mwoyo Mutukuvu anaabategeezanga bye nnaamubuuliranga.
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.
Mu bbanga ttono munaaba temukyandaba, ate wanaayitawo ebbanga ttono ne mundaba!”
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?
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 said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.
Ne beeyongera okwebuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’agamba nti, ‘Ebbanga ttono?’ Tetutegeera ky’agamba.”
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 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 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.
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, 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.
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 now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.
Kale nammwe kaakano munakuwadde, naye ndiddamu okubalaba ne musanyuka, era essanyu lyammwe tewali n’omu aliribaggyako.
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.
Mu kiseera ekyo nga temukyansaba kintu na kimu, mmwe bennyini munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange.
24 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.
Kino mubadde temukikola, naye kaakano mukitandike. Musabe mu linnya lyange, mujja kuweebwa ekyo kye musaba, essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire.
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.
Ebyo mbibabuulidde mu ngero. Naye ekiseera kijja kutuuka nneme kwogera nammwe mu ngero, wabula mbabuulire lwatu ebifa ku Kitange.
26 In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:
Mu kiseera ekyo mulisaba mu linnya lyange, so si Nze okubasabira eri Kitange.
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
Kitange abaagala nnyo kubanga nammwe munjagala nnyo era mukkiriza nti nava eri Katonda.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
Nava eri Kitange ne nzija mu nsi era nzija kuva mu nsi nzireyo eri Kitange.”
29 His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Awo abayigirizwa be ne bamugamba nti, “Kaakano oyogera lwatu, so si mu ngero.
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.
Kaakano tutegedde ng’omanyi byonna, era nga tewali kyetaagisa kukubuuza. Kyetuva tukkiriza nga wava eri Katonda.”
31 Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Kaakano mukkirizza?
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.
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 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.
“Mbategeezezza ebyo byonna mulyoke mube n’emirembe mu nze. Mu nsi muno mujja kubonaabona, naye mugume, kubanga Nze mpangudde ensi.”
