John 16
1 ‘I have spoken to you in this way so that you may not falter.
N'khah uh pawt ham ni nangmih taengah he he ka thui.
2 They will expel you from their synagogues; indeed the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think that they are making an offering to God.
Nangmih te a hael la n'haek uh ni. A tue ha pawk vaengah hlang boeih loh nangmih n'ngawn te Pathen taengkah thothuengnah a khueh la a ngai uh ni.
3 They will do this, because they have not learned to know the Father, or even me.
Te khaw a Pa neh kai m'ming uh pawt dongah ni a saii uh eh.
4 But I have spoken to you of these things so that, when the time for them comes, you may remember that I told you about them myself.
Tedae he he nangmih kan thui coeng. Te daengah ni a tue ha pawk vaengah kai loh nangmih kan ti nah te na poek uh eh. Tedae nangmih taengah ka om dongah hekah he a tongcuek lamloh nangmih ham ka thui moenih,
5 I did not tell you all this at first, because I was with you. But now I am to return to him who sent me; and yet not one of you asks me – “Where are you going?”
Tedae kai aka tueih taengah ka cet pawn ni. Nangmih loh, “Melam na caeh eh?” tila kai nan dawt uh moenih,
6 Although your hearts are full of sorrow at all that I have been saying to you.
Te phoeiah hekah he nangmih taengah ka thui coeng dongah kothaenah loh nangmih thinko te a koei,
7 Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.
Tedae kai loh nangmih taengah oltak ka thui, Kai ka caeh te nangmih ham rhoei bet. Ka cet pawt koinih nangmih taengah baerhoep te ha pawk mahpawh, Tedae ka caeh atah nangmih taengla anih kan tueih ni.
8 And he, when he comes, will bring conviction to the world as to sin, and as to righteousness, and as to judgment;
Anih te ha pawk vaengah Diklai te tholh kawng khaw, duengnah kawng khaw, laitloeknah kawng kha,
9 as to sin, for people do not believe in me;
Kai n'tangnah uh pawt dongah tholhnah kawng,
10 as to righteousness, for I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
Pa taengla ka cet vetih kai nan hmuh uh voel pawt ham dongah duengnah kawng khaw,
11 as to judgment, for the Spirit that is ruling this world has been condemned.
He Diklai boei te lai a tloek coeng dongah laitloeknah kawng khaw a toeltham ni.
12 I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.
Nangmih taengah thui ham muep om pueng dae nangmih loh tahae ah na doe uh tloel,
13 Yet when he – The Spirit of truth – comes, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of all that he hears; and he will tell you of the things that are to come.
Tedae amah ha pawk vaengah tah, oltak Mueihla loh nangmih te oltak dongah a cungkuem la long n'tueng ni. Amah lamloh thui pawt vetih a yaak te boeih a thui ni. Te vaengah aka lo te khaw nangmih taengah ha puen ni.
14 He will honour me; because he will take of what is mine, and will tell it to you.
Te long ni kai n'thangpom eh. Kamah hut te a doe vetih nangmih taengla ha puen ni.
15 Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes of what is mine, and will tell it to you.
Pa loh a khueh boeih te kai kah ni, Te dongah, 'Kamah kah te a doe tih nangmih taengah ka puen bitni,’ ka ti
16 In a little while you will no longer see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed.’
Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh pawt sui dae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
17 At this some of his disciples said to one another, ‘What does he mean by saying to us “In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed”; and by saying “Because I am going to the Father”?
Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek khuiah khat neh khat te, “Mamih taengah, 'Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh voel pawt sui dae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni. Te phoeiah pa taengla ka cet ni, ' a ti te metlam a om,” a ti uh.
18 What does he mean by “In a little while”?’ they said. ‘We do not know what he is speaking about.’
Te dongah, “A thui te me tlam nim a om te? 'Kolkalh ah ' a ti te m'ming uh moenih,” a ti uh.
19 Jesus saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said, ‘Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying “In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed”?
Anih dawt ham a ngaih uh te Jesuh loh a ming dongah amih te, “Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh mahpawh, Tedae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni, 'tila ka thui dongah he khat neh khat na dawt uh thae.
20 In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain will turn to joy.
Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, na rhap uh vetih na nguek uh ni. Tedae Diklai loh a uem vetih na kothae uh ni. Tedae nangmih kah kothaenah te omngaihnah la poeh ni.
21 A woman in labour is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a child has been born into the world.
Huta loh a tue a pha tih ca a cun vaengah kothaenah a khueh. Tedae camoe te a cun vaengah tah Diklai ah hlang a cun te a omngaihnah neh phacipphabaem te poek pawh
22 You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.
Te dongah nangmih khaw tahae ah kothaenah na khueh uh dae nangmih te koep kan hip vetih nangmih thinko loh omngaih bitni. Nangmih kah omngaihnah te nangmih lamkah rhawt uh mahpawh
23 And at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my name.
Tekah khohnin ah kai nan dawt uh loengloeng mahpawh, Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, kai ming neh Pa taengah na bih te tah nangmih m'paek bitni.
24 So far you have not asked for anything, in my name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
Tahae duela kai ming neh na bih uh te a hong moenih, Bih uh lamtah na dang uh bitni. Te daengah ni nangmih kah omngaihnah loh a soep la a om eh.
25 I have spoken to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I will not speak any longer to you in figures, but will tell you about the Father plainly.
Thuidoeknah neh nangmih taengah hekah he ka thui coeng. A tue ha pawk vaengah tah thuidoeknah neh nangmih kam voek voel mahpawh. Tedae pa kawng nangmih taengah sayalh la ka puen bitni.
26 You will ask, at that time, in my name; and I do not say that I will intercede with the Father for you;
Tekah khohnin ah kai ming neh na bih uh ni. Tedae nangmih ham kai loh a pa taengah ka dawt ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui moenih
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.
Pa amah loh nangmih n'lungnah te nangmih loh kai nan lungnah tih Pathen lamkah ka suntlak he na tangnah uh dongah ni.
28 I came out from the Father, and have come into the world; and now I am to leave the world, and go to the Father.’
Pa taeng lamkah ka lo tih Diklai la kam pha coeng. Diklai te ka hlah vetih pa taengah koep ka cet ni,” a ti nah.
29 ‘At last,’ exclaimed the disciples, ‘you are using plain words and not speaking in figures at all.
A hnukbang rhoek loh, “Sayalh la na thui coeng tih thuidoeknah na thui pawt la he.
30 Now we are sure that you know everything, and need not wait for anyone to question you. This makes us believe that you did come from God.’
Boeih na ming dongah u long khaw nang dawt ham pakhat khaw ngoe pawh tila ka ming uh coeng, te nen ni Pathen taeng lamkah na lo te kan tangnah uh,” a ti nah.
31 ‘Do you believe that already?’ Jesus answered.
Jesuh loh amih te, “Na tangnah uh pawn a?
32 ‘Listen! A time is coming – indeed it has already come – when you are to be scattered, each going his own way, and to leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
A tue ha pawk coeng ke, pakhat rhip loh amah amah ah na taekyak uh tih kamah bueng nan hlah uh ham ni ha pawk coeng, Tedae a pa he kai taengah om tih kamah bueng ka om moenih.
33 I have spoken to you in this way, so that in me you may find peace. In the world you will find trouble; yet, take courage! I have conquered the world.’
He he nangmih taengah ka thui daengah ni kai rhangneh ngaimongnah na dang uh eh. Diklai ah phacip phabaem na dang uh ni. Tedae na ngaimong sakuh. Kai loh Diklai ka noeng coeng,” a ti nah.
