< John 14 >
1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “Stop being anxious/worried. Keep on trusting in God (OR, You are trusting in God); also keep trusting in me.
Yin da cedi ti yanyangidi n cuo yi, daani mani U Tienu, daani mani mini moko.
2 Where my Father is [in heaven] there is plenty of room! If that were not true, I would have told you. I am about to go [there] to prepare a place for you.
N Baa diegu nni pia yi ye kaani boncianla, li yaa bi tie yeni, naani n bi baa yedi, n caa ki baan hanbi yipo ukaanu?
3 And because I will go [there] and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you there to be with me. I will do that so that you may also be where I am.
N ya ban hanbi ki gbeni n baa guani ki cua ki taa yi tin yegi, yeni min baa ye naani yeni, yi moko baa ye lankane.
4 You know the road to the place where I am going.”
Yi bani min caa naani yi go bani lipo sanu mo.
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. [So] how can we know the road?”
Toma den yedi o: o Diedo tii bani han caa naanpo, ti ba tieni lede yo ki bandi lipo sanu?
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the road [MET] [to where my Father is]. I am the [one who reveals] [MET] the truth [about God] and the [one who gives eternal] life [to people]. I am the only one who can [enable people] to come to [my] Father. There is no other way.
Jesu den yedi o: Mini n tie usanu leni imoamoani leni limiali, o bakuli kan pundi Baa kani, kaa tie o tagini n yaa kani.
7 If you [really] knew who I was, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and [it is as though] you have seen him.”
Yi ya bani nni, yi bi baa bani nBaa, ama yi bani o, yi go laa o mo.
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”
Filipi den yedi o: o Diedo waani ti Baa bebe li baa dagidi tipo.
9 Jesus said to him, “Philip, I have been with you for a long time. So (surely you should know who I [really am]!/why have you not come to know who I [really am]?) [RHQ] Those who have seen me, [it is as though] they have seen [my] Father. So (why do you say ‘Show us [your] Father’?/you should not say ‘Show us [your] Father’!) [RHQ]
Jesu den yedi o: Filipi min ye leni yi ke li waagi maama ne haa bandi nni, yua n laa nni kuli laa Baa, be yaapo ke a go yedi waani nni Baa?
10 Do you not [RHQ] believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father, and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me? The messages that I tell you do not come from me. They come from my Father, who has a close relationship with me. He is enabling me to [teach these things, and] to perform the miracles that he [wants me to perform].
Haa daani ke n ye Baa niinni, ke Baa moko ye n niinni yo? Min wangi yaa maama yeni maa ñani n yaa kani ka, Baa yua n ye n niinni yeni wani n tuuni o tuona.
11 Believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me. If you do not believe that just because of what I say, believe it because of the miracles themselves [that I have done].
Daani mani ke n ye Baa niinni, ke Baa moko ye n niinni, lan yaa ka daani kelima yaa tuona n tiena po.
12 Listen to this carefully: [You] who trust in me will do the [kinds of] miracles [that I have done]. [Because of what I will do for you] (OR, [Because I will send God’s Spirit to you]) after I go to my Father, you will be able to do [miracles] that will be greater than [the ones I have done].
N yedi yi imoamoani moamoani kani, yua n daani nni, o baa tuuni min tuuni yaa tuonane, o baa soani baa yaa cie yeni, kelima n caa Baa po.
13 And whatever you, using my authority, ask me to do, I will do it, in order that I can show [you] how great [my] Father is.
Yin baa mia Baa yaala n yeli nni kuli, n baa tieni la ke n Baa, n baa tikpiagidi kelima Bijua yaapo.
14 Anything that you ask [my Father to do, anything that you ask] with my [authority] [MTY], I will do.”
Yi ya mia bonla ba, kelima n yeli po, n baa tieni la.
15 “If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
Yi ya bua nni, kubi mani n balimaama.
16 Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn )
N baa mia Baa wan payi toa yua n baa tie yi todikoa. wan yaa ye leni yi hali yaa yogunu kuli. (aiōn )
17 [I am talking about] the Spirit, who [will teach you God’s] truth. He will be with you forever. Those who are opposed to God [MTY] cannot receive him, because they cannot understand what he [does], and they cannot know who he is. But you know who he is, because he is with you and he will be inside you.
Yi moamoani fuoma yeni, handuna yaaba kan fidi ki ga o cangu, kelima baa nua o, baa bani o, ama yinba wani yi bani o, kelima o ye leni yi, ki ye yi niinni.
18 [When I leave you], I will not let you be alone/helpless [MET]. [When I send the Spirit, it will be like] I am coming back to you (OR, [When I rise from the dead], I will come back to you.)
N kan ha yi nani akpienbila yeni, n go baa cua yi kani.
19 Soon those who do not belong to God [MTY] will not see me any more. But [when the Spirit comes to you, it will be as though] you will be seeing me again (OR, But [after I become alive again], you will see me again.) Because I will be alive again, you also will have [eternal] life.
Li yaa pugini waamu handuna yaaba kan go le nni. Ama yinba wani baa le nni, kelima n ye ki fo, yi mo baa ye ki fo.
20 At that time you will know that I have a close relationship with my Father, and you will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with you.
Laa daali yi baa bandi cain ke n ye n Baa niinni ke yi mo ye n niinni, ke n mo ye yi niinni.
21 Those who have accepted my commands and obey them are the people who love me. My Father will love those who love me. I also will love them, and I will fully reveal to them [what I am like].”
Yua n tuo ki ga n balimaama ki kubima, wani n tie yua n bua nni, yua n bua nni, n Baa moko baa bua wane, mini n ba moko n bua o, n go baa doagidi opo min tie yua cain.
22 Then Judas spoke to him. He was not Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), [but instead a disciple whose other name was Thaddeus]. He said, “Lord, what has happened so that you can fully reveal to us what you are like, and not reveal that to those who do not belong to God [MTY]?”
Jude den buali o, laa tie Judasa isikalioto ka, ama Jude n den buali o, ki yedi o: o Diedo be cedi ke a baa doagidi a yuli ti yaapo, ki nan kan doagidi handuna yaapo wani?
23 Jesus replied to him, “Those who love me will obey what I have told them. My Father will [also] love them. It is those people whom my Father and I will [be able to] come to and (live with/have a personal relationship with).
Jesu den guani ki yedi o: Yua n bua nni o baa kubi n balimaama, n Baa baa bua o, Ti baa cua ki ya ye leni o, ki tieni ti yekaanu o deni.
24 But those who do not love me will not obey what I have told them. [So I cannot reveal to them what I am really like]. These words that I am telling you have not come just from me. They came from [my] Father, the one who sent me.
Yua n ki bua nni, kan kubi n maama. Yin gba ya maama yeni maa ñani n yaa kani ka, mi ñani Baa yua n soani nni yaa kane.
25 I have told you all these things while I am still with you.
N wangi yi lankuli hali ke n daa ye leni yi.
26 But [my] Father will send the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. He will come with my authority [MTY]. He will teach you all of [God’s truth that you need to know]. He will also cause you to remember all the things that I have told you.
Ama o todikoa, U Tienu fuoma yua, Baa n baa soani yua, kelima n yeli ni yeni, o baa bangi yi li bonla kuli. O go ba tiadi yi min den bangi yi yaala kuli.
27 As I leave you, I am causing you to have [inner] peace. This [inner] peace comes from me. I am not causing you to have something that those who do not belong to God [MTY] can give you. [So] stop being anxious/worried, and do not be afraid.
N ha yi po n yanduanma, n puni n yanduanma, mii puuni yi nani handuna n puuni maama ka, yin da go yagi yi yama, yin da go jie.
28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, but [later] I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going back to [my] Father, because [my] Father is greater than I am, [and there he will honor me and will send the Spirit to you].
Yi gbadi ke n yedi yi, n caa, ki go baa guani ki cua yi kani. Yi ya buani moamoani yi baa mangi yi pala, kelima n caa Baa po, kelima n Baa cie nni.
29 I have told you [these things now] before they happen, so that when they happen you will believe [that what I said is true].
Moala n tuodi ki waani yi la hali ke li daa cua, ke li ya ti cua yin daani.
30 I will not [be able to] talk to you much longer, because what happens to me will be as though [Satan], the ruler of this world, is coming [to attack me]. But he has no [control over what happens to] me.
Mii go pia u yogunu ki baa maadi leni yi, kelima handuna bado cua, ama waa pia n po paalu ba kuli.
31 Instead, the people who do not belong to God [MTY] must learn [from what happens to me] that I love [my] Father, and I am doing the things that he has commanded me to do. Now, let’s get up and leave here.”
Ama ke handuna n bandi ke n bua Baa, ki go tuuni nani wani Baa n teni nni li ñoabonli maama. Fii mani tin fuadi nekanba.
