John 16
1 “These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be stumbled.
“Ke lo boleletse dilo tse gore lo seka lwa etsaetsega (ka ga dilo tse di kwa pele).
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;
Gonne lo tlaa kgaolwa mo matlung a thuto, mme tota lobaka lo, e tla nna lo ka lone babolai ba lona ba tlaa gopolang gore ba dira tiro ya Modimo.
3 and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor Me.
Se ke ka ntlha ya gore ga go nako epe e ba kileng ba itse Rara le fa e le nna.
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;
Ee, ke lo bolelela dilo tse gompieno gore e tle e re di diragala lo tlo lo gakologelwe gore ke lo tlhagisitse. Ga ke ise ke ko ke lo bolelele le fa e le sepe gonne ke ne ke tsile go nna le lona ka lobaka lo lo leejana.
5 and now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, To where do you go?
“Mme jaanong ke a tsamaya ke boela kwa go yo o nthomileng; mme go bonala fa e le gore ga go na ope wa lona yo o nang le kgatlhego mo lebakeng la go tsamaya ga me; le fa e le ope ga a hakgamale.
6 But because I have said to you these things, the sorrow has filled your heart.
Mo boemong jwa go dira jalo lo tletse bohutsana fela.
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;
Mme boammaaruri ke gore, go lo solegela molemo fa ke tsamaya, gonne fa ke sa tsamaye, Mogomotsi ga a na go tla. Fa ke tsamaya, o tlaa tla, gonne ke tlaa mo romela kwa go lona.
8 and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
“Mme fa a sena go tla, o tlaa senolela lefatshe boleo jwa lone, le gore tshiamo ya Modimo e teng, le kgololo mo katlholong.
9 concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me;
Boleo jwa lefatshe ke go sa dumeleng mo go Nna;
10 and concerning righteousness, because I go away to My Father, and you behold Me no more;
mme tshiamo e teng gonne ke ya kwa go Rara mme ga lo na go tlhola lo mpona gape;
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
go na le go gololwa mo katlholong gonne kgosana ya lefatshe leno e setse e bile e atlhotswe.
12 I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear [them] now;
“Oo, go sa ntse go na le dilo di le dintsi tse ke batlang go di lo bolelela, mme ga lo ka ke lwa di tlhaloganya jaanong jaana.
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;
Fa Mowa O O Boitshepo, o e leng boammaaruri, o tla, o tlaa lo gogela mo boammaaruring jotlhe, mme o tlaa bo o sa bue mafoko a one; mme o tlaa bo o lo bolelela se o se utlwileng. O tlaa lo bolelela kaga dilo tse di tlaa tlang.
14 He will glorify Me, because He will take of Mine, and will tell to you.
O tlaa nkgalaletsa a bo a nteretse tlotlo e kgolo ka go lo bontsha kgalalelo ya me.
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;
Kgalalelo yotlhe ya ga Rara ke ya me; ke sone se ke se rayang fa ke re o tlaa lo supegetsa kgalalelo ya me.
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.”
E tlaa re fela mo lobakanyaneng morago ga moo, lo tlaa mpona gape!”
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?”
Mme bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe ba re, “A reng? Ke eng se a se rayang fa a re ke ya kwa go Rara? Rona ga re tlhaloganye se a se rayang.”
18 They said then, “What is this He says—the little while? We have not known what He says.”
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?
Jesu a lemoga gore ba batla go mmotsa, mme a ba botsa a re, “A lo ipotsa se ke se rayang?
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.
Lefatshe le tlaa itumela thata kaga se se tsileng go ntiragalela, mme lona lo tlaa lela. Mme e tlaa re ka bonako selelo sa lona se fetoge boitumelo jo bogolo (fa lo mpona gape).
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.
E tlaa bo e le boitumelo jo bo tshwanang le jwa mosadi a le mo ditlhabing fa a tshola ngwana wa gagwe, hong ditlhabi tse di lebalwe gotlhelele.
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,
Gompieno jaana lo futsafetse, mme ke tlaa lo bona gape, mme lo tlaa itumela, mme ga gona ope yo o ka lo tseelang boitumelo joo.
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;
Ka nako eo ga lo na go tlhokana le go nkopa sepe, gonne lo tlaa bo lo ka tlhamalalela kwa go Rara go mo kopa, mme o tlaa lo naya se lo tlaa bong lo se kopa gonne lo tlaa bo lo dirisa leina la me.
24 until now you asked nothing in My Name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
Ga lo ise lo ke lo leke go dira jaana pele, (mme simololang gompieno). Kopang, lo dirisa leina la me. Mme lo tlaa amogela, mme senwelo sa lona sa boitumelo se tlaa penologa.
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.
Ke buile kaga dilo tse ke itisitse mo puong, mme nako e tlaa tla fa go itisa mo puong go tlaa bo go sa tlhokege mme ke tlaa lo bolelela sentle thata gotlhe ka ga Rara.
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,
Mme lo tlaa lere dikopo tsa lona ka leina la me! Mme ga nkitla ke tlhoka go kopa Rara go lo naya dikarabo tsa dikopo tse,
27 for the Father Himself cherishes you, because you have cherished Me, and you have believed that I came forth from God;
gonne Rara ene o lo rata fela thata ka gore lo a nthata ebile lo dumela gore ke tsile ke tswa kwa go Ene.
28 I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again I leave the world, and go on to the Father.”
Ee, ke tsile ke tswa kwa go Rara fa ke tla mo lefatsheng, mme ke tlaa tswa mo lefatsheng ke boela kwa go Rara.”
29 His disciples say to Him, “Behold, now You speak freely, and You do not speak allegory;
Mme barutwa ba gagwe ba re, “Jaanong o bua sentle thata, eseng ka diane.
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.”
Jaanong re tlhaloganya gore o itse sengwe le sengwe ebile ga o tlhoke ope go go bolelela sepe. Jaanong ka ntlha ya one mabaka a, re dumela gore o tsile o tswa kwa Modimong.”
31 Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe? Behold, there comes an hour,
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “A jaanong lo dumela se ke se buang?
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;
Mme lobaka lo e tla, le gone tota lo setse lo fitlhile, fa lo tlaa phatlalala, mongwe le mongwe a boela kwa legaeng la gagwe, a ntlogela ke le nosi. Le fa go ntse jalo ke tlaa bo ke se nosi, gonne Rara o na le nna.
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.”
Ke lo boleletse mo gotlhe gore lo tle lo nne le kagiso mo mogopolong le mo pelong. Lo tlaa nna le meleko e mentsi le dikutlobotlhoko fano mo lefatsheng; mme lo itumele thata, gonne ke fentse lefatshe.”
