John 16
1 “I have spoken these things to you to avoid your being caused to stumble
“Mwen pale nou bagay sa yo pou nou kapab evite chite.
2 —they will excommunicate you; indeed, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering God service!
“Yo va mete nou deyò nan sinagòg la, epi lè a ap vini ke y ap konprann ke se yon sèvis yo rann Bondye lè yo touye nou.
3 And they will do these things because they have not known either the Father or me.
Bagay sa yo, yo va fè paske yo pa t janm konnen Papa a, ni Mwen.
4 Now I have told you these things so that when the time comes you may remember that I told you about them; I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.
Men bagay sa yo Mwen te pale nou an pou lè lè a rive, nou va sonje ke M te di nou sa. Epi bagay sa yo Mwen pa t di nou nan kòmansman, paske Mwen te avèk nou.
5 “Now then, I am going away to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
“Men koulye a, M ap prale a Sila a ki te voye Mwen an. E pa gen nan nou k ap mande M: ‘Kibò W ap prale’?
6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Men akoz ke M te di nou bagay sa yo, gwo doulè antre nan kè nou.
7 Nevertheless I am telling you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, because if I do not go away the Enabler will not come to you, but if I do go I will send Him to you.
“Men Mwen di nou laverite se nan lavantaj pa nou ke M ap prale. Paske si M pa ale, Konseye a p ap vin kote nou, men si M ale, M ap voye Li bay nou.
8 “Now when He comes he will convict the world about sin and about righteousness and about judgment:
E Li, lè L vini, L ap konvenk lemonn konsènan peche, ladwati, ak jijman.
9 first about sin, because they do not believe into me;
Konsènan peche, paske yo pa kwè nan Mwen,
10 then about righteousness, because I am going away to my Father and you will no longer see me;
Selon ladwati, paske Mwen ale nan Papa a, e nou p ap ka wè M ankò.
11 then about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
Epi selon jijman, paske Mèt mond sa a gen tan jije.
12 “I still have many things to say to you but you cannot bear it now.
“Mwen gen anpil bagay anplis pou M ta di nou, men nou p ap kab sipòte yo koulye a.
13 However, when He, the Spirit of the Truth, has come, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also communicate to you the things that are coming.
Men lè Li, Lespri verite a vini, Li va dirije nou nan tout verite. Paske Li p ap pale pou kont Li, men sa Li tande, L ap pale. Li va montre nou tout sa ki va vini.
14 He will glorify me because He will take of what is mine and communicate it to you.
Li va fè M resevwa glwa Mwen, paske l ap pran sa ki pou Mwen, e fè nou konprann li.
15 All that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that He takes from what is mine and will communicate it to you.
“Tout bagay ke Papa a genyen se pou Mwen. Pou sa, Mwen di nou Li pran sa ki pou Mwen, e devwale li a nou.
16 “In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me, because I am going to the Father.”
“Yon ti tan, e nou p ap wè M ankò, epi yon ti tan anplis, e nou va wè M.”
17 Then some of His disciples said among themselves: “What is this that He is telling us, ‘In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me,’ and because ‘I am going to the Father’?”
Kèk nan disip Li yo te di youn a lòt: “Kisa L ap di nou la a? ‘Yon ti tan, e nou p ap wè M ankò, epi yon ti tan anplis e nou va wè M’ epi: ‘akoz ke M ap prale nan Papa a’?”
18 So they said: “What is this ‘little’ that He mentions? We do not know what He is talking about.”
Konsa yo t ap di: “Kisa L ap pale: ‘Yon ti tan’? Nou pa konprann kisa L ap di.”
19 Well Jesus knew that they were wanting to question Him and said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me’?
Jésus te konnen yo te vle kesyone L, epi Li te di yo: “Èske nou ap diskite pami nou sou sa ke M te di a: ‘Yon ti tan, e nou p ap wè M ankò, epi yon ti tan anplis, e nou va wè M?’
20 Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy.
“Anverite, anverite, Mwen di nou, ke nou va kriye avèk lamantasyon, men lemonn va rejwi. Nou va ranpli avèk tristès, men tristès la va vin chanje an jwa.
21 When a woman gives birth she has pain, because her time has come; but when the child is born she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
Lè yon fanm gen doulè nesans, li gen tristès, paske lè li rive, men lè l fin bay nesans a pitit la, li pa sonje soufrans lan ankò, akoz jwa ke yon pitit gen tan fèt nan lemonn.
22 So in your turn you are now experiencing grief, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
“Konsa, nou menm tou gen tristès koulye a. Men Mwen va wè nou ankò, e kè nou ap rejwi, e pèsòn p ap retire jwa nou ankò.
23 In that day you will not question me about anything. “Most assuredly I say to you that whatever you ask the Father in my name He will give you.
“E nan jou sa a nou p ap menm poze M kesyon sou okenn choz. Anverite, anverite, Mwen di nou, si nou mande Papa a pou nenpòt bagay, L ap bay nou Li nan non Mwen.
24 Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
“Jis rive koulye a nou pa mande pou anyen nan non Mwen. Mande e nou va resevwa, pou jwa nou kapab vin ranpli.
25 “I have told you these things using figures of speech, but a time is coming when I will no longer talk to you with figures of speech; rather I will tell you plainly about the Father.
“Bagay sa yo Mwen pale nou an parabòl. Lè a ap vini lè M p ap pale avèk nou ankò an parabòl, men M ap pale nou byen klè konsènan Papa a.
26 In that day you will ask in my name; I do not say to you that I will request the Father on your behalf,
“Nan jou sa a nou va mande nan non Mwen, e Mwen p ap di nou ke M ap mande Papa a anfavè nou.
27 because the Father Himself is fond of you, in that you have become fond of me and have believed that I came forth from God.
Paske Papa a Li menm, renmen nou paske nou renmen Mwen, e te kwè ke Mwen te sòti nan Papa a.
28 I did come forth from the Father and have come into the world. I am leaving the world again and am going to the Father.”
Mwen te sòti nan Papa a, e te vini nan lemonn. M ap kite lemonn ankò e ap prale kote Papa a.”
29 His disciples say to Him: “Hey, now you are speaking plainly and using no figure of speech!
Disip Li yo te di: “Alò koulye a W ap pale klè. Ou p ap sèvi ak parabòl.
30 Now we know that you know everything and don't need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God.”
Koulye a nou konnen ke Ou konnen tout bagay, e pa bezwen moun mande Ou anyen. Akoz sa, nou kwè ke Ou soti nan Bondye.”
31 Jesus answered them: “Do you believe now, really?
Jésus te reponn yo: “Èske nou kwè koulye a?
32 Listen, an hour is coming, actually it has already arrived, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
Veye byen, lè a ap vini, e gen tan vini deja, pou nou vin gaye, chak a pwòp kay li, e pou kite M sèl. Men M p ap sèl, paske Papa a toujou avè M.
33 I have spoken these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but take heart, I have conquered the world!”
“Bagay sa yo Mwen pale nou, pou nan Mwen, nou kapab gen lapè. Nan lemonn nou gen tribilasyon, men pran kouraj. Mwen venk lemonn.”
