John 16
1 I've told you this so you won't give up your trust in me.
Numutambuie imakani aya iti muleke kutakigwa.
2 They will expel you from the synagogues—in fact the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing God a service.
Akumupumya kunzi a Matekeelo; Kulu kuulu isaa ipembilye niiza kila nuikamubulaga ukusiganiilya kina ukituma mulimo uziza ku nsoko ang'wa Itunda.
3 They'll do this because they have never known the Father or me. I've told you this so that when these things happen, you'll remember what I told you.
Akumutendeela aya ku nsoko shanga amumanyile u Tata ang'wi shanga amanyile unene.
4 I didn't need to tell you this right at the beginning because I was going to be with you.
Numutambuie imakani aya iti kina itungo anga lipike nila aya kupumila, muhumile kukimbukilya ni kinya nai numutambuie muhume kitalao. Shanga numutambuie kutula i makani aya ung'wandyo ku nsoko ai natulaa palung'wi nu nyenye.
5 But now I'm going to the one who sent me, and yet not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’
Anga itule, itungili nongoe kung'wa uyo nai undagiiye; kuiti kutili mukati anyu nukunkolya, “Ulomgoe pii?”
6 Of course, now that I've told you, you're full of grief.
Ku nsoko nimaligitilye imakani aya kitalanyu, kinya uwai kizue mu nkolo yanyu.
7 But I'm telling you the truth: it's better for you that I go away, for if I don't the Comforter won't come to you. If I go away, I will send him to you.
Ga ni iti, kumutambuila itai; ku ndogoelyo anga nihite kuhega, u mupoelya shanga uzile kitalanyu; kuiti anga nongole nikamulagiilya kitalanyu.
8 When he comes, he will convince those in the world that they have wrong ideas regarding sin, about what is right, and about judgment:
Anga waze, u mupoelya nuanso uku ukaminkiilya u unkumbigulu kutulika nu ulamulwa.
9 Sin, for they don't trust in me.
Kutulika ni milandu, ku nsoko shanga ai anihuiie unene,
10 What is right, for I'm going to the Father and you won't see me any longer.
kutulika ni tai ane, kunsoko nongoe kung'wa Tata, shanga mukunihenga hangi;
11 Judgment, for the ruler of this world has been condemned.
ni kutulika nu ulamulwa kunsoko u mukulu nua unkumbgulu uwu walamuwe.
12 There's much more I want to explain to you, but you couldn't stand it now.
Nimakete idu nakumutambuila, kuiti shanga mukumalinga itungili.
13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, he will teach you the whole truth. He doesn't speak for himself, but he only says what he hears, and he will tell you what's going to happen.
Kuiti, nuanso, Ng'wau ng'welu nua tai, anga waze, ukumutongeela mu tai a ihi; ku nsoko shanga ukuligitya ku nsoko akwe mukola; kuiti ihi nuikija, ukumaligitya imakani nanso; hangi ukumakaminkiilya kitalanyu imakani ni ikapembya.
14 He brings me glory for he teaches you whatever he receives from me.
Nuanso wikankulya unene, kunsoko ukumahola imakani ane hangi ukumatanantya kitalanyu.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. This is why I said that the Spirit teaches you whatever he receives from me.
Intu yihi nuikete uTata ingi yane; ku lulo, naligityaa kina uNg'wau ng'welu ukuhola imakani ane nu kumakaminkiilya kitalanyu.
16 In a little while you won't see me anymore, but then a little while after that you will see me.”
Ikili itungo ikupi, shanga mukunihenga hangi; ni ize yakilaa itungo ikupi hangi, mukunihenga.”
17 Some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me’? and ‘For I'm going to the Father’?”
Ang'wi a amanyisigwa akwe akitambulya, “Ingi ntuni nu kuutambuila, “itungo ikupi, hangi shanga mukunihenga hangi,' ni, uugwa, itungo ikupi mukunihenga,' ni, 'ku nsoko nongoe kung'wa Tata?”
18 They were asking, “What does he mean by ‘in a little while’? We don't know what he's talking about.”
Ku lulo akaligitya, “Ingi kintu kii nukuligitya, 'Ikili itungo ikupi'? Shanga kulingile nukuligitya.”
19 Jesus realized that they wanted to ask him about this. So he asked them, “Are you wondering about my comment, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me’?
uYesu ai uine kina ai ahung'waa nsula kumukolya, nu ng'wenso aka atambuila, Mukikolya akola kutula ili, ni ndigitilye, 'Ikili itungo ikupi, shanga mukanihenga hangi; ni ze yakilaa itungo ikupi mukunihenga'?
20 I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will turn into joy.
Huiili, huiili, kumutambuila, mukulila nu kuhongeelya, kuiti u unkumbigulu ukulumbiilya, mukutula ni kinya uwai kuiti kinya uwai kanyu kikupiluka kutula iloeelya.
21 A woman in labor suffers pain because her time has come, but once the baby is born, she forgets the agony because of the joy that a child has been brought into the world.
uMusungu witulaa ni kinya uwai itungo nuitulaa nu uwai kunsoko itungo nila kitunguila lapikaa; kuiti nuikitunguila ung'wana, shanga wikimbukiilya hangi u uwai kunsoko a iloeelya ni lakwe kina ng'wana watug'waa mi ihi.
22 Yes, you're grieving now, but I will see you again; and you will rejoice, and no one can take away your joy.
Nu nyenye ga mukete kinya uwai itungili, kuiti nikamihenga hangi; ni nkolo nianyu yukiloa hangi kutili nuikahuma kuliheja iloelya ni lanyu.
23 When that time comes you won't need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Luhiku nu lanso shanga mikankolya i makolyo. Huiili, huiili, kumutambuila, Anga mulope lihi kung'wa Tata, ukuminkiilya ku lina nilane.
24 Until now you haven't asked for anything in my name, so ask and you shall receive, and your happiness will be complete.
Kupikiila itungili mukili kulompa lihi ku lina nilane; lompi, nu nyenye mukusingiilya iti kina iloeelya nilaanyu likondaniile.
25 I've been talking to you using picture language. But soon I won't use such picture language any more when I speak to you. Instead I'll explain the Father to you very plainly.
Nitambuuye nu nyenye ku ntambu ni shanga ilingikile, kuiti isaa ipembilye niiza shanga kitambulya ku ntambu ni shanga ilingikile kuiti badala akwe nikamutambuila kihenga kutula uTata.
26 At that time you will ask in my name. I'm not saying to you that I will plead with the Father on your behalf,
Luhiku nulanso mukulompa ku lina nilane, hangi shanga kumuila kina nikalompa kung'wa Tata ku nsoko anyu;
27 for the Father himself loves you—because you love me and believe that I came from God.
Kunsoko uTata mukola umuloilwe ku nsoko manihuiie kina mpumiie kung'wa Tata.
28 I left the Father and came into the world; now I leave the world and return to my Father.”
Ai mpumiie kung'wa Tata nu kupembya mu unkumbigulu; hangi, kuhega mu unkumbigulu nu kulongola kung'wa Tata.”
29 Then the disciples said, “Now you're talking very plainly and not using picture language.
Amanyisigwa akwe akamutambuila, “Ukihenga, itungili ukuligitya i kihenga hangi shanga ukutumila ihalityo.
30 Now we're certain that you know everything, and that in order to know what questions people are thinking you don't need to ask them. This convinces us that you came from God.”
Itungili, kalingaa kina ulingile imakani ihi, ni shanga uloilwe muntu wihi wakukolye imakolyo. Kunsoko ili kahuiila kina upembeeye kung'wa Tata.
31 “Are you really convinced now?” Jesus asked.
uYesu aka asukiilya, “Itungili mahuiila?”
32 “The time is coming—in fact it's just about to happen—when you will be scattered, each of you to your own homes, leaving me all alone. But I'm not really alone, for the Father is with me.
Goza, isaa ipembilye, ee ni kulu kuulu apikaa, niiza mikasapatila kila ung'wi nu ku kitalao mukundeka umukola. Kuiti shanga nkoli ni ng'wene duu kunsoko uTata ukoli nu nene.
33 I've told you all this so that you may have peace because you are one with me. You will suffer in this world, but be brave—I have defeated the world!”
Kumutambuila imakani aya iti kina mukati anyu mutule nu ulyuuku. Mihi mukete lwago, kuiti ipii i nkolo, nauhumaa u unkumbigulu.
