John 16
1 "I have said all these things to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.
“Ebyo mbibategeezezza muleme kwesittala.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering a service to God.
Banaabagobanga mu makuŋŋaaniro, era ekiseera kijja buli anaabattanga n’alowooza nti aweereza Katonda.
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.
Ebyo balibibakola kubanga Kitange tebaamumanya, era nange tebammanyi.
4 But I have told you these things, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
Kale bino mbibabuulidde nga tebinnabaawo, ekiseera bwe kirituuka ne bibaawo mulyoke mujjukire nti nabagamba. Ebyo saabibategeerezaawo ku lubereberye kubanga nnali nkyali nammwe.
5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
Kaakano ŋŋenda eri eyantuma. Naye tewali n’omu ku mmwe ambuuza nti, ‘Ogenda wa?’
6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
Naye kubanga mbategeezezza ebyo emitima gyammwe gijjudde ennaku.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
Naye mbategeereza ddala nti ekisinga obulungi gye muli Nze kwe kugenda. Kubanga bwe sigenda Omubeezi tagenda kujja, kyokka bwe ŋŋenda, ndimutuma gye muli.
8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, and about righteousness, and about judgment;
Ye bw’alijja, alirumiriza ensi olw’ekibi, n’olw’obutuukirivu n’olw’omusango,
9 about sin, because they do not believe in me;
kubanga tebanzikkiriza,
10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you won't see me any more;
olw’obutuukirivu kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange era temukyandaba,
11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
n’olw’omusango, kubanga omufuzi w’ensi eno asaliddwa omusango.
12 "I have yet many things to tell you, but you cannot bear them now.
“Nkyalina bingi eby’okubategeeza naye kaakano temusobola kubitegeera.
13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own; but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you things that are coming.
Naye Omwoyo ow’amazima, bw’alijja alibaluŋŋamya mu mazima gonna, kubanga, taliyogera ku bubwe, wabula anaabategeezanga ebyo by’awulira. Anaababuuliranga ebigenda okubaawo.
14 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
Oyo agenda kungulumiza, kubanga agenda kubategeeza bye nnaamubuuliranga.
15 All things that the Father has are mine; that is why I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.
Byonna Kitange by’alina byange, kyenvudde ŋŋamba nti Mwoyo Mutukuvu anaabategeezanga bye nnaamubuuliranga.
16 A little while, and you will no longer see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."
Mu bbanga ttono munaaba temukyandaba, ate wanaayitawo ebbanga ttono ne mundaba!”
17 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"
Abamu ku bayigirizwa be ne beebuzaganya nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’agamba nti, ‘Mu bbanga ttono temuliddayo kundaba, ate mu bbanga ttono munandaba,’ era nti, ‘Kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange?’”
18 So they kept asking, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We do not know what he is saying."
Ne beeyongera okwebuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’agamba nti, ‘Ebbanga ttono?’ Tetutegeera ky’agamba.”
19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?'
Yesu bwe yamanya nga baagala okumubuuza n’abagamba nti, “Mwebuuzaganya ku kye ŋŋambye nti mu bbanga ttono munaaba temukyandaba ate wanaayitawo ebbanga ttono ne mundaba?
20 Truly, truly, I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti mmwe mulikaaba, mulikuba ebiwoobe, naye ensi yo erisanyuka. Mmwe mulinakuwala naye okunakuwala kwammwe kulifuuka essanyu eritagambika bwe mulindabako nate.
21 A woman, when she gives birth, has pain, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she does not remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
Omukazi ng’azaala aba mu bulumi buyitirivu, kubanga ekiseera kye kituuse. Naye omwana bw’amala okuzaalibwa olwo omukazi aba takyajjukira bulumi buli olw’essanyu ery’okuzaala omuntu mu nsi.
22 Therefore you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
Kale nammwe kaakano munakuwadde, naye ndiddamu okubalaba ne musanyuka, era essanyu lyammwe tewali n’omu aliribaggyako.
23 "And in that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
Mu kiseera ekyo nga temukyansaba kintu na kimu, mmwe bennyini munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange.
24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
Kino mubadde temukikola, naye kaakano mukitandike. Musabe mu linnya lyange, mujja kuweebwa ekyo kye musaba, essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire.
25 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
Ebyo mbibabuulidde mu ngero. Naye ekiseera kijja kutuuka nneme kwogera nammwe mu ngero, wabula mbabuulire lwatu ebifa ku Kitange.
26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I am not saying to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf,
Mu kiseera ekyo mulisaba mu linnya lyange, so si Nze okubasabira eri Kitange.
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
Kitange abaagala nnyo kubanga nammwe munjagala nnyo era mukkiriza nti nava eri Katonda.
28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
Nava eri Kitange ne nzija mu nsi era nzija kuva mu nsi nzireyo eri Kitange.”
29 His disciples said to him, "Look, now you are speaking plainly and not in any figure of speech.
Awo abayigirizwa be ne bamugamba nti, “Kaakano oyogera lwatu, so si mu ngero.
30 Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."
Kaakano tutegedde ng’omanyi byonna, era nga tewali kyetaagisa kukubuuza. Kyetuva tukkiriza nga wava eri Katonda.”
31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Kaakano mukkirizza?
32 Look, the time is coming, and has come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
Laba, ekiseera kijja, era kituuse mwenna lwe munaasaasaana buli omu n’addayo ku bibye, ne mundeka nzekka. Kyokka sijja kuba nzekka, kubanga Kitange ali wamu nange.
33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up. I have overcome the world."
“Mbategeezezza ebyo byonna mulyoke mube n’emirembe mu nze. Mu nsi muno mujja kubonaabona, naye mugume, kubanga Nze mpangudde ensi.”
