< John 16 >

1 THESE things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
“Ndamwambili makani awa kwambeti mutakatyompwa.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Lino nibakamutandanye mu mandakupaililamo. Kayi cindi nicikashike cakwambeti bantu beshibakamushinenga nibakayeyengeti balasebenselenga Lesa.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Nibakense bintu bilico pacebo cakwambeti nkababenshi Bata kayi nenjame nkabanjinshi.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
Nsombi ndamwambililinga limo bintu ibi kwambeti cindi cakashika mukanuketi ndalamwambilapo kendi. Ndiya kumwambila bintu ibi pakuyamba pakwinga ndalikuba nenu.”
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
Nomba lino ndenga kuli Bata balantuma, nsombi paliya nambi umo lanjipushunga kwambeti, “Ulenga kupeyo.”
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
“Nomba mumyoyo yenu mulesulu miyeyo yakungumana pacebo ca bintu mbyondamwambili.
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 unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Nsombi ndamwambilinga cakubinga, caina kuli njamwe kwambeti ame njenga. Pakwinga nankandenga, munyamfwilishi usa nteshi akese kuli njamwe. Nsombi ndaya ninkamutume kulinjamwe.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Lino akesa shikumunyamfwa nakababoneshe bantu ba panshi pano pabwipishi bwabo nepabululami, kayi nekombolosha kwa Mwami Lesa.
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Bacimwa pacebo cakwipa kwabo pakwinga nkabashomo mulinjame.
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Bacimwa pamakani abululami pakwinga ndenga kuli Bata kayi nteshi mukambonepo sobwe.
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Bacimwa pashakombolosha, pakwinga Lesa lamombolosho kendi mwami lendeleshenga cishi cino.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
“Nkute Maswi angi akumwambila nsombi nkamwela kwanyumfwishisha sobwe.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Nsombi wakashika Mushimu nukamwiyishe byancine ncine. Pakwinga Nteshi ukambenga bintu byakuliyandila sobwe, nsombi bintu ibyo Bata mbyoshibakamwambilenga, endibyo mbyoshi ukambenga. Kayi nukamwiyishe bintu byakuntangu.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Nukampe bulemu pakwinga nukamante bintu kufuma kulinjame nekwisa kumwambila.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Bintu byonse byaBata nibyakame. Weco ndamwambilingeti nukamante bilafumunga kuli njame nekwisa kumwambila.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
“Kwacindi cing'ana nteshi mukambone, nsombi pakapita kacindi cing'anowa nimukambone.”
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
Beshikwiya bakendi nabambi balatatika kwipushaneti, “Nomba nicani ncalatwambilinga? Lambangeti, ‘Kwacindi cing'anowa nteshi mukambone.’ Kayi lambangeti, ‘pakwinga ndenga kuli Bata.’
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
Nomba inga cilapandululunga cani, ‘Kwacindi cing'ana’ Nkatulanyumfwishishinga mbyalayandanga kutwambila.”
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
Yesu walenshibeti balayandanga kumwipusha, neco walabambileti, sena mulepushanyanga pamakani ngondamwambileti, kwakacindi kang'ana nteshi mukambonepo, nsombi pakapita kacindi kang'ana kayi nimukambone?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
Ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti nimukalile kayi nimukongumane, nsombi cishi nicikasekelele. Amwe nimukongumane, nsombi kungumana kwenu panyuma pakendi nikukabe kusekelela.
21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
Lino pacindi cakupulukamo mutukashi ukute kushupika pacebo cakwambeti cindi cilashiki. Nomba mwana asemwa nkakute nekuyeyako shakushupika, pakwinga kukute kuba kusekelela kwambeti mwana lasemwa.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
Nenjamwe mulashupikinga lino, nsombi ninkamubone kayi. Popelapo myoyo yenu nikasekelele, kayi paliya muntu weshakamulamune kukondwa kwenu.
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
“Pabusuba ubo nteti mukayande kunjipusha. necikabeco ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti Bata nibakamupe ciliconse nceshi mukasenge mulina lyakame.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Kushikila lelo nkamuna musengapo cintu mulina lyakame. Nomba lino mwela kusenga mulina lyakame, neco, nimukapewe, kwambeti kukondwa kwenu kube kwakwana.”
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
Ndamwambili bintu ibi mumapinda. Cindi nicikashike mposhinkambe pantangalala shaBata, ntetinkambepo mumapinda sobwe.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
Busuba ubo nimukasenge kupitila mulina lyakame, ntetikukayandiketi ndimusengele kuli Bata sobwe.
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
Bata bamusuni pakwinga munsuni, kayi mwanshometi ndalafuma kuliBata.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
Ndalafuma kuli Bata kwisa panshi pano. Lino kayi ndafumunga panshi pano kuya kuliBata.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Beshikwiya bakendi balambeti, “Lino mulambanga mwakunyumfwika, kutamba mumapinda sobwe.
30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
Lino tulenshibi kwambeti mubinshi byonse, neco nkatwela kumwipusha. Weco lino tulashomo kwambeti mwalafuma kuli Lesa.”
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Sena lino empomulashomo?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye 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.
Cindi nicishike, kayi cilashiki kendi, nceshimumwaike uliyense kuya kwabo, nimunshiye ndenka. Nsombi nkandipo ndenka sobwe pakwinga Bata bali nenjame.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Ndamwambili bintu ibi kwambeti mube neLumuno pakushoma njame. Cishi nicikamupenshe nsombi kamuyumani pakwinga ame ndacikomo cishi capanshi.”
