John 16
1 “These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be stumbled.
“Ine ndakuwuzani zonsezi kuti musadzakhumudwe.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour comes that everyone who has killed you may think to offer service to God;
Iwo adzakuchotsani mʼsunagoge mwawo. Kunena zoona, nthawi ikubwera imene aliyense amene adzakuphani adzaganiza kuti akutumikira Mulungu.
3 and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor Me.
Iwo adzachita zoterozo chifukwa sanadziwe Atate kapena Inenso.
4 But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I said [them] to you, and I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you;
Ine ndakuwuzani izi kuti nthawi ikadzafika mudzakumbukire kuti Ine ndinakuchenjezani kale. Ine sindinakuwuzeni izi poyamba paja chifukwa ndinali nanu.”
5 and now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, To where do you go?
“Tsopano Ine ndikupita kwa Iye amene anandituma koma palibe wina mwa inu akundifunsa kuti, ‘Kodi mukupita kuti?’
6 But because I have said to you these things, the sorrow has filled your heart.
Muli ndi chisoni kwambiri chifukwa ndakuwuzani zimene.
7 But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come to you, and if I go on, I will send Him to you;
Komatu ndakuwuzani zoona. Ine ndikuti kuli bwino kwa inu kuti ndichoke. Ngati sindichoka, Nkhosweyo sidzabwera kwa inu, koma ngati Ine ndipita, ndidzamutumiza kwa inu.
8 and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
Iye akabwera, adzatsutsa dziko lapansi za uchimo, zachilungamo ndi zachiweruzo.
9 concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me;
Za uchimo, chifukwa anthu sakhulupirira Ine.
10 and concerning righteousness, because I go away to My Father, and you behold Me no more;
Za chilungamo, chifukwa Ine ndi kupita kwa Atate, kumene simudzandionanso.
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
Za chiweruzo, chifukwa wolamulira dziko lino lapansi waweruzidwa tsopano.
12 I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear [them] now;
“Ine ndili ndi zambiri zoti ndiyankhule nanu, koma simungathe kuzilandira tsopano.
13 and when He may come—the Spirit of truth—He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;
Koma pamene Iye, Mzimu wachoonadi, abwera, adzakutsogolerani mʼchoonadi chonse. Iye sadzayankhula mwa Iye yekha, adzayankhula zokhazo zimene wamva ndipo Iye adzakuwuzani zimene zikubwera.
14 He will glorify Me, because He will take of Mine, and will tell to you.
Iye adzalemekeza Ine chifukwa adzatenga za Ine nadzakudziwitsani.
15 All things, as many as the Father has, are Mine; because of this I said that He will take of Mine, and will tell to you;
Zonse za Atate ndi zanga. Ichi nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndanena kuti Mzimu Woyera adzatenga kwa Ine zanga kuti muzidziwe.”
16 a little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go away to the Father.”
Yesu anapitiriza kuyankhula kuti, “Mwa kanthawi kochepa, simudzandionanso, ndipo patatha nthawi pangʼono mudzandionanso.”
17 Therefore [some] of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, A little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, and, Because I go away to the Father?”
Ena a ophunzira ake anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, “Kodi Iye akutanthauza chiyani ponena kuti, ‘Mwa kanthawi kochepa, simudzandionanso,’ ndi ‘ndipo patatha nthawi pangʼono mudzandionanso,’ ndiponso ‘chifukwa ndikupita kwa Atate?’”
18 They said then, “What is this He says—the little while? We have not known what He says.”
Iwo anapitiriza kufunsana kuti, “Kodi akutanthauza chiyani, ‘kanthawi kochepa?’ Ife sitikumvetsetsa chimene Iye akuyankhula.”
19 Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask Him, and He said to them, “Concerning this do you seek with one another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me?
Yesu anadziwa kuti ankafuna kuti amufunse za zimenezi, choncho anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukufunsana wina ndi mnzake chimene Ine ndimatanthauza pamene ndinati, ‘Mwa kanthawi kochepa simudzandionanso,’ ndi ‘patatha nthawi pangʼono mudzandionanso?’
20 Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will become joy.
Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti inu mudzalira ndi kubuma pomwe dziko lapansi lidzakhale likukondwera. Inu mudzamva chisoni, koma chisoni chanu chidzasandulika chimwemwe.
21 The woman, when she may bear, has sorrow, because her hour came, and when she may bear the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born into the world.
Mayi akamabereka mwana amamva ululu chifukwa nthawi yake yafika; koma mwana wake akabadwa amayiwala ululu wake chifukwa cha chimwemwe chake chakuti mwana wabadwa mʼdziko lapansi.
22 And you, therefore, now indeed have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy from you,
Chimodzimodzinso ndi inu. Tsopano ino ndi nthawi yanu yomva chisoni, koma Ine ndidzakuonaninso ndipo inu mudzasangalala, ndipo palibe amene adzachotsa chimwemwe chanu.
23 and in that day you will question nothing of Me; truly, truly, I say to you, as many things as you may ask of the Father in My Name, He will give you;
Tsiku limenelo inu simudzandipemphanso kalikonse. Ine ndikukuwuzani zoona kuti Atate anga adzakupatsani chilichonse chimene mudzapempha mʼdzina langa.
24 until now you asked nothing in My Name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
Mpaka tsopano simunapemphe kalikonse mʼdzina langa. Pemphani ndipo mudzalandira, ndipo chimwemwe chanu chidzakhala chathunthu.
25 I have spoken these things in allegories to you, but there comes an hour when I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will tell you freely of the Father.
“Ngakhale ndakhala ndikuyankhula mʼmafanizo, nthawi ikubwera imene Ine sindidzagwiritsanso ntchito mafanizo otere koma ndidzakuwuzani momveka za Atate anga.
26 In that day you will make request in My Name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,
Tsiku limenelo inu mudzapempha mʼdzina langa. Ine sindikunena kuti ndidzapempha Atate mʼmalo mwanu ayi.
27 for the Father Himself cherishes you, because you have cherished Me, and you have believed that I came forth from God;
Atate mwini anakukondani chifukwa inu mwandikonda Ine ndipo mwakhulupirira kuti Ine ndinabwera kuchokera kwa Atate.
28 I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again I leave the world, and go on to the Father.”
Ine ndinabwera kuchokera kwa Atate ndi kulowa mʼdziko lapansi. Tsopano ndikulisiya dziko lapansi kubwerera kwa Atate.”
29 His disciples say to Him, “Behold, now You speak freely, and You do not speak allegory;
Kenaka ophunzira ake anati, “Tsopano mukuyankhula momveka bwino ndi mopanda mafanizo.
30 now we have known that You have known all things, and have no need that anyone questions You; in this we believe that You came forth from God.”
Tsopano ife tikuona kuti Inu mumadziwa zinthu zonse ndi kuti sipafunika wina aliyense kukufunsani. Mwa ichi ife takhulupirira kuti Inu munachokera kwa Mulungu.”
31 Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe? Behold, there comes an hour,
Yesu anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi tsopano mwakhulupirira?”
32 and now it has come, that you may be scattered, each to his own things, and you may leave Me alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with Me;
Koma nthawi ikubwera ndipo yafika, pamene inu mudzabalalitsidwa, aliyense ku nyumba yake. Inu mudzandisiya ndekhandekha. Koma Ine sindili ndekha, pakuti Atate anga ali nane.
33 these things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace, in the world you will have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.”
“Ine ndakuwuzani izi kuti mwa Ine mukhale nawo mtendere. Mʼdziko lapansi mudzakhala nawo mavuto. Koma limbikani mtima! Ine ndaligonjetsa dziko lapansi.”
