John 16
1 These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:
Zvinhu izvi ndataura kwamuri, kuti murege kugumburwa.
2 Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God!
Vachakubudisai mumasinagoge; hongu nguva inouya, apo umwe neumwe anokuurayai achafunga kuti anoitira Mwari basa.
3 And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.
Uye zvinhu izvi vachazviita kwamuri, nokuti havana kuziva Baba kana ini.
4 But, these things, have I told you, —That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, from the beginning, because I was, with you;
Asi zvinhu izvi ndataura kwamuri, kuti kana nguva yasvika, muzvirangarire kuti ini ndakakuudzai. Asi zvinhu izvi handina kuzvireva kwamuri kubva pakutanga, nokuti ndaiva nemwi.
5 But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me—Whither goest thou?
Asi ikozvino ndinoenda kune wakandituma, uye hakuna umwe wenyu anondibvunza, achiti: Munoenda kupi?
6 But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.
Asi nokuti ndareva zvinhu izvi kwamuri, kusuruvara kwazadza moyo wenyu.
7 But, I, the truth, am telling you—It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you.
Asi ini ndinokuudzai chokwadi: Zvakanaka kwamuri kuti ini ndiende; nokuti kana ndisingaendi, Munyaradzi haazouyi kwamuri; asi kana ndikaenda, ndichamutumira kwamuri.
8 And, having come, He, will reprove the world—Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:
Zvino kana asvika, iye achapwisa nyika nezvechivi, uye nezvekururama, uye nezvemutongo;
9 Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;
zvechivi, nokuti havatendi kwandiri;
10 But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me;
uye zvekururama, nokuti ndinoenda kuna Baba vangu, uye hamuchazondionizve;
11 And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged.
uye zvemutongo, nokuti mutungamiriri wenyika ino watongwa.
12 Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying, —but ye cannot bear them, just now;
Ndichine zvinhu zvizhinji zvekutaura kwamuri, asi hamugoni kuzvitakura ikozvino;
13 Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come—The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth, he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you.
asi kana iye asvika, Mweya wechokwadi, achakutungamirirai kuchokwadi chese; nokuti haazozvitauriri pachake, asi chega chega chaanonzwa achataura, uye achakuzivisai zvinhu zvinouya.
14 He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
Iye achandirumbidza, nokuti achatora pane zvangu, uye achazvizivisa kwamuri.
15 All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I—Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
Zvese Baba zvavanazvo, ndezvangu; ndokusaka ndichiti achatora pane zvangu, agozivisa kwamuri.
16 A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.
Kwechinguvana uye hamuchandioni, uye kwechinguvanazve muchandiona, nokuti ini ndinoenda kuna Baba.
17 Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another—What is this which he is saying to us: —A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and—Because I go my way unto the Father?
Zvino vamwe vevadzidzi vake vakataurirana vachiti: Chii ichi chaanoreva kwatiri: Kwechinguvana, hamuchandioni; uyezve kwechinguvana muchandiona; uye: Nokuti ini ndinoenda kuna Baba?
18 They were saying, therefore—What is this which he saith: —A little while? We know not [what he is saying].
Naizvozvo vakati: Chii ichi chaanoreva: Chinguvana? Hatizivi chaanoreva.
19 Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them—Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another, —because I said: —A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
Zvino Jesu waiziva kuti vakange vachishuva kumubvunza, akati kwavari: Munobvunzana pamusoro pezvizvi here kuti ndati: Kwechinguvana hamuchandioni, uyezve kwechinguvana muchandiona?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you—Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned.
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Imwi muchachema nekurira, asi nyika ichafara; uye imwi muchava nekusuruvara, asi kusuruvara kwenyu kuchava mufaro.
21 A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born.
Mukadzi kana achisununguka ane marwadzo, nokuti awa rake rasvika; asi kana angopona mucheche, haacharangaririzve marwadzo, nekufara kuti munhu waponwa panyika.
22 And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice, —and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.
Naizvozvo nemwi ikozvino mune kusuruvara; asi ndichazokuonaizve, nemoyo wenyu uchafara; uye hakuna munhu anokutorerai mufaro wenyu.
23 And, in that day, shall ye request me, nothing: —Verily, verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name.
Zvino nezuva iro hamuchazondibvunzi chinhu. Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Chipi nechipi chamuchakumbira kuna Baba muzita rangu vachakupai.
24 Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive, —that, your joy, may be made full.
Kusvikira ikozvino hamuna kukumbira chinhu muzita rangu; kumbirai, uye muchagamuchira, kuti mufaro wenyu uzadzwe.
25 These things, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning the Father, will I tell you.
Zvinhu izvi ndataura kwamuri mumadimikira; nguva inouya apo ndisingazotaurizve kwamuri nemadimikira, asi ndichakuudzai pachena nezvaBaba.
26 In that day, In my name, shall ye ask: —and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;
Pazuva iro muchakumbira muzita rangu; uye handirevi kwamuri kuti ini ndichakukumbirirai kuna Baba;
27 For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth: —
nokuti Baba pachavo vanokudai, nokuti imwi makandida, mukatenda kuti ini ndakabuda kuna Mwari.
28 I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world, —Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.
Ndakabuda kuna Baba, uye ndakauya panyika; ndinobvazve panyika, uye ndinoenda kuna Baba.
29 His disciples say—See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:
Vadzidzi vake vakati kwaari: Tarirai ikozvino motaura pachena, uye munotaura pasina dimikira.
30 Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth.
Zvino tinoziva kuti munoziva zvinhu zvese, uye hamutsvaki kuti munhu akubvunzei; neizvozvi tinotenda kuti makabuda kuna Mwari.
31 Jesus answered them—As yet, ye believe:
Jesu akavapindura akati: Ikozvino munotenda here?
32 Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; —And yet I am not, alone, but, the Father, is, with me!
Tarirai, awa rinouya, hongu ikozvino rasvika, rekuti muchaparadzirwa, umwe neumwe kune zvake, uye mundisiye ndega; izvo handisi ndega, nokuti Baba vaneni.
33 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage, —I, have overcome the world.
Ndareva zvinhu izvi kwamuri, kuti muve nerugare mandiri. Munyika muchava nedambudziko; asi tsungai moyo, ini ndakakunda nyika.
