< John 14 >

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye beleeue in God, beleeue also in me.
Yesu yi edzi gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Migana vɔvɔ̃ naɖo mi, eye miaƒe dzi naʋuʋu nyanyanya o. Mixɔ Mawu dzi se, eye mixɔ nye hã dzinye se.
2 In my Fathers house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, I would haue tolde you: I go to prepare a place for you.
Fofonye ƒe aƒe me la, xɔ geɖewo li, ne ɖe mele nenema o la, ne megblɔe na mi. Meyina afi ma, be madzra teƒe ɖo ɖi na mi.
3 And if I go to prepare a place for you, I wil come againe, and receiue you vnto my selfe, that where I am, there may ye be also.
Ne meyi ɖadzra teƒe ɖo ɖi na mi la, matrɔ ava akplɔ mi be, mianɔ gbɔnye ale be afi si mele la, miawo hã mianɔ afi ma.
4 And whither I go, ye know, and the way ye knowe.
Mienya afi si meyina la xoxo, eye mienya mɔ la hã.”
5 Thomas sayd vnto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: how can we then know ye way?
Toma gblɔ nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, Aƒetɔ, mienya afi si nèyina o, aleke wɔ miate ŋu anya mɔ la?”
6 Iesus sayd vnto him, I am that Way, and that Trueth, and that Life. No man commeth vnto the Father, but by me.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyee nye Mɔ la, Nyateƒe la kple Agbe la. Ame aɖeke mate ŋu ayi Fofo la gbɔ o, negbe to dzinye ko.
7 If ye had knowen mee, ye should haue knowen my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and haue seene him.
Ne ɖe mienya ame si ƒomevi menye la, anye ne mienya ame si ƒomevi Fofonye hã nye. Tso azɔ dzi la, mienya ame si Fofonye nye, eye miekpɔe hã!”
8 Philippe sayd vnto him, Lord, shewe vs thy Father, and it sufficeth vs.
Filipo gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, fia Fofo la mí ekema míaƒe dzi adze eme.”
9 Iesus sayd vnto him, I haue bene so long time with you, and hast thou not knowen mee, Philippe? he that hath seene me, hath seene my Father: how then sayest thou, Shewe vs thy Father?
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Filipo, ke va se ɖe fifi hã la, mènya ame si ƒomevi menye o. Ke esi meli kpli mi ŋkeke siawo katã hã mienyam kpɔ oa? Ame si kpɔm la, Fofo lae nye ema wòkpɔ. Ke nu ka ta miegale didim be, ‘Mafia Fofo la mi ɖo?’
10 Beleeuest thou not, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my selfe: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the workes.
Ɖe miexɔe se be mele Fofo la me, eye Fofo la hã le menye oa? Nya siwo katã megblɔna la menye nye ŋutɔ nye nyawoe o, ke boŋ Fofonye si le menye la ƒe nyawoe. Fofo la wɔa eƒe dɔwo to dzinye.
11 Beleeue me, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me: at the least, beleeue me for the very workes sake.
Mixɔe se ko be mele Fofo la me, eye Fofo la hã le menye. Ne miate ŋu axɔ esia dzi se o la, ekema mixɔ dzinye se le nukunu geɖe siwo mewɔ miekpɔ la ta.
12 Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that beleeueth in me, the workes that I doe, hee shall doe also, and greater then these shall he doe: for I goe vnto my Father.
Mele egblɔm na mi le nyateƒe me be ame si xɔ dzinye se la awɔ dɔ siwo katã mele wɔwɔm la, eye awɔ dɔ gãwo wu esiwo mewɔ, elabena meyina ɖe Fofo la gbɔ.
13 And whatsoeuer ye aske in my Name, that will I doe, that the Father may be glorified in the Sonne.
Mawɔ nu sia nu si miabia le nye ŋkɔ dzi la na mi ale be Vi la nakɔ Fofo la ŋuti.
14 If ye shall aske any thing in my Name, I will doe it.
Ne miebia nane to nye ŋkɔ dzi ko la, mawɔe na mi.
15 If ye loue me, keepe my comandements,
“Ne mielɔ̃am la, miawɔ nye sewo dzi.
16 And I wil pray the Father, and he shall giue you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for euer, (aiōn g165)
Mabia Fofo la, wòaɖo nyaxɔɖeakɔla bubu ɖe mi, ame si nye nyateƒe ƒe Gbɔgbɔ, be wòanɔ anyi kpli mi yi ɖe mavɔ me. (aiōn g165)
17 Euen the Spirit of trueth, whome the world can not receiue, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye knowe him: for he dwelleth with you, and shalbe in you.
Xexea me mate ŋu axɔ nyateƒe ƒe Gbɔgbɔ la o, elabena mekpɔnɛ alo dzea sii o. Ke miawo la, mienyae, elabena ele mia me, eye wòanɔ anyi kpli mi.
18 I will not leaue you fatherles: but I will come to you.
Nye la, nyemagblẽ mi ɖi abe tsyɔ̃eviwo ene o, matrɔ ava mia gbɔ.
19 Yet a litle while, and the world shall see me no more, but ye shall see me: because I liue, ye shall liue also.
Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, xexea me tɔwo magakpɔm o, ke miawo ya, miakpɔm. Esi mele agbe ta la, miawo hã mianɔ agbe.
20 At that day shall ye knowe that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
Gbe ma gbe la, mianya be mele Fofo la me, eye miawo miele menye, eye nye hã mele mia me.
21 He that hath my commandements, and keepeth them, is he that loueth me: and he that loueth me, shall be loued of my Father: and I will loue him, and wil shewe mine owne selfe to him.
Ame si wɔna ɖe nye nyawo dzi la, eyae lɔ̃am. Ame si lɔ̃am la, Fofonye hã alɔ̃e, nye hã malɔ̃e, eye maɖe ɖokuinye afiae.”
22 Iudas sayd vnto him (not Iscariot) Lord, what is the cause that thou wilt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world?
Yuda (menye Yuda Iskariɔt o, ke boŋ nusrɔ̃la bubu), biae be, “Aƒetɔ, nu ka ta wònye mí nusrɔ̃lawo ko nèle ɖokuiwo ɖe ge afia, ke menye xexea me katã o?”
23 Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, If any man loue me, he will keepe my worde, and my Father will loue him, and we wil come vnto him, and wil dwell with him.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame si lɔ̃m la awɔ ɖe nye nufiafia dzi. Fofonye hã alɔ̃e, eye nye kple Fofonye míava egbɔ, eye míawɔ nɔƒe ɖe egbɔ.
24 He that loueth me not, keepeth not my wordes, and the worde which ye heare, is not mine, but the Fathers which sent me.
Ame si melɔ̃m o la mawɔ ɖe nye nufiafia dzi o. Nya siwo miese la, menye nye ŋutɔ tɔ o; Fofonye, ame si dɔm la ƒe nyawoe.
25 These things haue I spoken vnto you, being present with you.
“Mele nya siawo gblɔm na mi fifia esi megale mia gbɔ.
26 But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father wil send in my Name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I haue tolde you.
Ke Nyaxɔɖeakɔla, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe si Fofo la adɔ ɖo ɖa le nye ŋkɔ me la afia nu geɖewo mi, eye wòaɖo ŋku nu siwo katã mefia mi la dzi na mi.
27 Peace I leaue with you: my peace I giue vnto you: not as the worlde giueth, giue I vnto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor feare.
Mele ŋutifafa gblẽm ɖi na mi. Nye ŋutifafa metsɔ na mi. Menye xexea me tɔ ƒomevi o. Migana miaƒe dzi naʋuʋu nyanyanya o, eye migavɔ̃ o.
28 Ye haue heard howe I saide vnto you, I goe away, and will come vnto you. If ye loued me, ye would verely reioyce, because I said, I goe vnto the Father: for the Father is greater then I.
“Miese megblɔ be, ‘Madzo eye magatrɔ agbɔ va mia gbɔ.’ Ne mielɔ̃m la, dzi adzɔ mi be mele dzodzom yina ɖe Fofo la gbɔ, elabena Fofo la lolo wum.
29 And nowe haue I spoken vnto you, before it come, that when it is come to passe, ye might beleeue.
Megblɔ nya siawo na mi hafi woava dzɔ, ale be ne wova dzɔ la, ne miaxɔ wo dzi ase.
30 Hereafter will I not speake many things vnto you: for the prince of this world commeth, and hath nought in me.
Nyemagaƒo nu na mi fũu o, elabena xexe sia me dziɖula le mɔ dzi gbɔna. Mekpɔ ŋusẽ ɖe dzinye o,
31 But it is that the world may knowe that I loue my Father: and as the Father hath commanded me, so I doe. Arise, let vs goe hence.
gake ele be xexea me nanyae be melɔ̃ Fofo la eye be mewɔa nu si tututu Fofo la ɖo nam be mawɔ. “Azɔ, miva mídzo.
