< John 16 >
1 These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:
“Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo ti sọ fún yín, kí a má ba à mú yín yapa kúrò.
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!
Wọ́n ó yọ yín kúrò nínú Sinagọgu: àní, àkókò ń bọ̀, tí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá pa yín, yóò rò pé òun ń ṣe ìsìn fún Ọlọ́run.
3 And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni wọ́n ó sì ṣe, nítorí tí wọn kò mọ Baba, wọn kò sì mọ̀ mí.
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;
Ṣùgbọ́n nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo ti sọ fún yín, pé nígbà tí wákàtí wọn bá dé, kí ẹ lè rántí wọn pé mo ti wí fún yín. Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún yín láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wá, nítorí tí mo wà pẹ̀lú yín.
5 But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me—Whither goest thou?
“Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí èmi ń lọ sọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí ó rán mi; kò sì sí ẹnìkan nínú yín tí ó bi mí lérè pé, ‘Níbo ni ìwọ ń lọ?’
6 But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí mo sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún yín, ìbìnújẹ́ kún ọkàn yín.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n òtítọ́ ni èmi ń sọ fún yín; àǹfààní ni yóò jẹ́ fún yín bí èmi bá lọ, nítorí bí èmi kò bá lọ, Olùtùnú kì yóò tọ̀ yín wá; ṣùgbọ́n bí mo bá lọ, èmi ó rán an sí yín.
8 And, having come, He, will reprove the world—Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:
Nígbà tí òun bá sì dé, yóò fi òye yé aráyé ní ti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, àti ní ti òdodo, àti ní ti ìdájọ́,
9 Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;
ní ti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, nítorí tí wọn kò gbà mí gbọ́;
10 But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me;
ní ti òdodo, nítorí tí èmi ń lọ sọ́dọ̀ Baba, ẹ̀yin kò sì mọ̀ mí.
11 And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged.
Ní ti ìdájọ́, nítorí tí a ti ṣe ìdájọ́ ọmọ-aládé ayé yìí.
12 Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying, —but ye cannot bear them, just now;
“Mo ní ohun púpọ̀ láti sọ fún yín pẹ̀lú, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò lè gbà wọ́n nísinsin yìí.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí òun, àní Ẹ̀mí òtítọ́ náà bá dé, yóò tọ́ yín sí ọ̀nà òtítọ́ gbogbo, nítorí kì yóò sọ ti ara rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ohunkóhun tí ó bá gbọ́, òun ni yóò máa sọ, yóò sì sọ ohun tí ń bọ̀ fún yín.
14 He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
Òun ó máa yìn mí lógo, nítorí tí yóò gbà nínú ti èmi, yóò sì máa sọ ọ́ fún yín.
15 All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I—Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
Ohun gbogbo tí Baba ní tèmi ni, nítorí èyí ni mo ṣe wí pé, òun ó gba nínú tèmi, yóò sì sọ ọ́ fún yín.
16 A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.
“Nígbà díẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kì ó sì rí mi, àti nígbà díẹ̀ si, ẹ ó sì rí mi, nítorí tí èmi ń lọ sọ́dọ̀ 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?
Nítorí náà díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ń bá ara wọn sọ pé, “Kín ni èyí tí o wí fún wa yìí, ‘Nígbà díẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ó sì rí mi, àti nígbà díẹ̀ ẹ̀wẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kì yóò rí mi, àti, nítorí tí èmi ń lọ sọ́dọ̀ Baba’?”
18 They were saying, therefore—What is this which he saith: —A little while? We know not [what he is saying].
Nítorí náà wọ́n wí pé, kín ni, nígbà díẹ̀? Àwa kò mọ̀ ohun tí ó wí.
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?
Jesu sá à ti mọ̀ pé, wọ́n ń fẹ́ láti bi òun léèrè, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ń bi ara yín léèrè ní ti èyí tí mo wí pé, nígbà díẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí mi, àti nígbà díẹ̀ si, ẹ̀yin ó sì rí mi?
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.
Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín pé, ẹ̀yin yóò máa sọkún ẹ ó sì máa pohùnréré ẹkún, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn aráyé yóò máa yọ̀: ṣùgbọ́n, ìbànújẹ́ yín yóò di ayọ̀.
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.
Nígbà tí obìnrin bá ń rọbí, a ní ìbìnújẹ́, nítorí tí wákàtí rẹ̀ dé: ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó bá ti bí ọmọ náà tán, òun kì í sì í rántí ìrora náà mọ́, fún ayọ̀ nítorí a bí ènìyàn sí ayé.
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.
Nítorí náà ẹ̀yin ní ìbànújẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó tún rí yín, ọkàn yín yóò sì yọ̀, kò sì sí ẹni tí yóò gba ayọ̀ yín lọ́wọ́ yín.
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.
Àti ní ọjọ́ náà ẹ̀yin kì ó bi mí lérè ohunkóhun. Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin bá béèrè lọ́wọ́ Baba ní orúkọ mi, òhun ó fi fún yín.
24 Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive, —that, your joy, may be made full.
Títí di ìsinsin yìí ẹ kò tí ì béèrè ohunkóhun ní orúkọ mi, ẹ béèrè, ẹ ó sì rí gbà, kí ayọ̀ yín kí ó lè kún.
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.
“Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo fi òwe sọ fún yín: ṣùgbọ́n àkókò dé, nígbà tí èmi kì yóò fi òwe bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó sọ nípa ti Baba fún yín gbangba.
26 In that day, In my name, shall ye ask: —and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;
Ní ọjọ́ náà, ẹ̀yin ó béèrè ní orúkọ mi, èmi kò sì wí fún yín pé, èmi ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ Baba fún yín.
27 For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth: —
Nítorí tí Baba tìkára rẹ̀ fẹ́ràn yín, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti fẹ́ràn mi, ẹ sì ti gbàgbọ́ pé, lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni èmi ti jáde wá.
28 I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world, —Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.
Mo ti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba jáde wá, mo sì wá sí ayé, àti nísinsin yìí mo fi ayé sílẹ̀, mo sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Baba.”
29 His disciples say—See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:
Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, nígbà yìí ni ìwọ ń sọ̀rọ̀ gbangba, ìwọ kò sì sọ ohunkóhun ní òwe.
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.
Nígbà yìí ni àwa mọ̀ pé, ìwọ mọ̀ ohun gbogbo, ìwọ kò ní kí a bi ọ́ léèrè: nípa èyí ni àwa gbàgbọ́ pé, lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni ìwọ ti jáde wá.”
31 Jesus answered them—As yet, ye believe:
Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin gbàgbọ́ wàyí?
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!
Kíyèsi i, wákàtí ń bọ̀, àní ó dé tan nísinsin yìí, tí a ó fọ́n yín ká kiri, olúkúlùkù sí ilé rẹ̀; ẹ ó sì fi èmi nìkan sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò sì ṣe èmi nìkan, nítorí tí Baba ń bẹ pẹ̀lú mi.
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.
“Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo ti sọ fún yín tẹ́lẹ̀, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè ní àlàáfíà nínú mi. Nínú ayé, ẹ̀yin ó ní ìpọ́njú; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ tújúká; mo ti ṣẹ́gun ayé.”
