John 16
1 These things have I spoken to you, that you should not be offended.
“Ihe ndị a niile ka m gwara unu ka unu ghara ịda.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, that whoever kills you will think that he does God service.
Ha ga-esite nʼụlọ ekpere ha chụpụ unu. Nʼezie, oge na-abịa mgbe onye ọbụla ga-egbu unu ga-echekwa na ọ na-efe Chineke mgbe ha na-eme nke a.
3 And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Ha ga-eme ihe ndị a nʼihi na ha amaghị Nna maọbụ m.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
Ana m agwa unu ihe ndị a ka ọ ga-abụ na mgbe oge ga-eru, unu echeta na m gwara unu. Agwaghị m unu ihe ndị a na mbụ nʼihi na mụ na unu nọ mgbe ahụ.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where go you?
Ma ugbu a, ana m alaghachikwuru onye ahụ zitere m. Ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti unu jụrụ m, ‘Olee ebe ị na-aga?’
6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Ma nʼihi na m gwara unu ihe ndị a, obi unu ejupụtala na mwute.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.
Nʼagbanyeghị nke a, aga m agwa unu eziokwu, ọ bụ maka ọdịmma unu ka m ji ala. Ọ bụrụ na m alaghị, Onye Ndụmọdụ ahụ agaghị abịa. Ọ bụrụ na m laa, aga m ezitere unu ya.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Mgbe ọ bịara, ọ ga-eme ka ụwa mata ezughị oke nke nghọta ya banyere mmehie, na ezi omume na ikpe,
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
maka mmehie nʼihi na ha ekwenyeghị na m;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more;
ma gbasara ezi omume, nʼihi na ana m alakwuru Nna, ebe unu na-apụghị ịhụ m ọzọ,
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
maka ikpe, nʼihi na e kpeela onyeisi ụwa a ikpe.
12 I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
“Enwere m ọtụtụ ihe ọzọ m ga-agwa unu. Ma ugbu a, unu agaghị anabatalị ha.
13 However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
Ma mgbe Mmụọ eziokwu ahụ bịara, ọ ga-eduba unu nʼeziokwu niile. Ọ gaghị ekwu ihe banyere onwe ya, kama ọ bụ ihe niile ọ nụrụ ka ọ ga-ekwu. Ọ ga-ezikwa unu ihe niile gaje ịbịa.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it to you.
Ọ ga-enye m otuto, nʼihi na ọ ga-esite nʼaka m nata ihe ọ ga-akọrọ unu.
15 All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it to you.
Ihe niile Nna nwere bụ nke m. Ọ bụ ya mere m ji sị, na ọ ga-ewere site nʼihe bụ nkem, kọwara ya unu.
16 A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.
“Ọ fọdụrụ nwantakịrị oge unu agaghị ahụkwa m. Ma mgbe nwantịntị oge gasịkwara, unu ga-ahụkwa m anya ọzọ.”
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he says 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?
Ụfọdụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sịrịtara onwe ha, “Gịnị ka o bu nʼuche mgbe ọ na-asị, ‘Nwa oge nta unu agaghị ahụkwa m ọzọ, ma mgbe nwa oge gasịkwara unu ga-ahụkwa m,’ na ‘Nʼihi na ana m alakwuru Nna’?”
18 They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot tell what he said.
Ha na-asị, “Gịnị ka okwu a pụtara bụ ‘nwa oge nta’? Anyị aghọtaghị ihe ọ na-ekwu.”
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Do you inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me?
Jisọs matara na ha chọrọ ịjụ ya ihe banyere nke a, nʼihi ya ọ sịrị ha, “Unu na-ajụrịta onwe unu ihe okwu m pụtara mgbe m sịrị, ‘Na nwa oge nta unu agaghị ahụkwa m ọzọ, ma nwa mgbe nta unu ga-ahụkwa m’?
20 Truly, truly, I say to you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, unu ga-akwa akwa ma nwekwa obi mwute, ma ụwa ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ. Ma iru ụjụ unu ga-aghọrọ unu ọṅụ.
21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
Mgbe ime na-eme nwanyị, ọ na-anọ nʼọnọdụ ihe mgbu. Mgbe ọ mụsịrị nwa ya, ọ dịghị echetakwa ihe mgbu ya ọzọ. Nʼihi ọṅụ na a mụpụtala nwa nʼelu ụwa.
22 And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.
Unu nọ nʼọnọdụ iru ụjụ ugbu a, ma aga m ahụ unu anya ọzọ, obi unu ga-ejupụta nʼọṅụ. Mmadụ ọbụla apụghịkwa ịnapụ unu ọṅụ unu.
23 And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Ma nʼụbọchị ahụ, unu agakwaghị arịọ m ihe ọbụla. Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, ihe ọbụla unu ga-arịọ Nna m nʼaha m, ọ ga-enye unu.
24 Till now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Ruo ugbu a, ọ dịbeghị ihe unu rịọrọ nʼaha m. Rịọọnụ, unu ga-arịọta, ka ọṅụ unu zukwaa oke.
25 These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.
“Eji m ilu na-agwa unu okwu ugbu a, ma oge na-abịa mgbe m na-agaghị ejikwa ilu gwa unu okwu. Mgbe ahụ ka m ga-akọwara unu niile ihe banyere Nna m nʼụzọ unu ga-aghọta ya.
26 At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, unu ga-arịọ ihe nʼaha m. Asịghị m unu na m ga-arịọ Nna ihe nʼihi unu.
27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
Nʼihi na Nna m nʼonwe ya hụrụ unu nʼanya, nʼihi na unu hụrụ m nʼanya kwerekwa na m si nʼebe Chineke nọ bịa.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
Esi m nʼebe Nna nọ pụta, bịa nʼime ụwa. Ana m ahapụkwa ụwa ịlaghachikwuru Nna.”
29 His disciples said to him, See, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sịrị, “Lee, ugbu a ka okwu gị doro anya. Ọ bụkwaghị ilu ka i na-atụ.
30 Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.
Ugbu a ka o doro anyị anya na ị maara ihe niile. Ọ bakwaghị uru ka onye ọbụla jụọ gị ihe ọbụla. Nʼihi nke a, anyị kwere na i si nʼebe Chineke nọ bịa.”
31 Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?
Jisọs zara ha, “Unu ekwerela ugbu a?
32 Behold, the hour comes, yes, 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.
Lee! Oge na-abịa, oge ahụ eruola, mgbe unu ga-agbasacha. Onye ọbụla nʼụlọ nke ya. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-ahapụ naanị m, ma ọ bụghị naanị m nọ nʼihi na mụ na Nna m nọ.
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
“Agwala m unu ihe ndị a niile ka unu nwee udo nʼime m. Nʼime ụwa, unu ga-enwe nsogbu. Ma ka obi sie unu ike, nʼihi na emeriela m ụwa.”
