< 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.
“Mvngdwk mvngkula doomabvka,” Jisu bunua minto. “Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngjwng laka okv ngaaka mvngjwng laka.
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.
Ngo Abu gv naam tv karchung ngv awgo doodu, okv ngo nonugv lvgabv dooku riku mvpvripv jitebv vngjinv. Minggvdvnam si doorung mabolo ngo nonua svbv mima dvnvpv.
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.
Okv ngo vngla nonugv lvgabv dooku riku nga mvpv ripvro kochingbv, ngo aakur reku okv ngo atuv nonua naareku, vbvrikubolo ngo ogolo doopvdw nonuka dooming gvreku.
4 You know the road to the place where I am going.”
Nonu chindu ngoogv vngjiku mooku lo vnglwknv lamtv nga.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. [So] how can we know the road?”
Tomas ninyia minto, “Ahtu, ngonu chima noogv vngku lamtv nga; vkvlvgabv tolo chaalwk dubv oguaingbv ngonu lamtv nga chinyu dubv?”
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.
Jisu ninyia mirwkto, “Ngo lamtv ngv, jvjv ngv, okv turnammv; ngo gvlokv vngmabv yvvka Abu gvlo vngnyu mare.
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.”
Vjak nonu ngam chimpvku,” nw bunua minto, “Nonu ngoogv Abu nyika chinreku, okv vjak gvlokv nonuka ninyia chireku okv nonu ninyia kaakw pvku.”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”
Pilip ninyia minto, “Ahtu, Abunyi ngonua kaatam labv; si ngonu mvnwng gv mvngnamv.”
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]
Jisu mirwkto, “Pilip, ngo nonua mvngchi kumanamgo lvkobv reming gvkwng kunam vka nonu ngam chimai?” Yvvdw ngam kaadudw hv Abu nyika kaadunv, vbvrikunamv ogulvgabv no Abunyi ngonua kaatam labv vla mindunv?
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].
Ngo Abu gvlo doodu okv Abu ngoogvlo doodu um Pilip no mvngjwng madunvre? Jisu ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa mintoku, “Ngoogv nonua gaam minam dvdv ngv, ngo gvlokv aama. Abu, ngoogvlo doonv ninyigv ridung nga atuv ridunv.
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].
Ngam mvngjwng laka ngo vdwlo abu ngoogvlo doodunv okv ngo Abu gvlo doodunv vla minam a. Ho malo, ngoogv rinam a kaagvrila mvngjwng tvka.
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].
Ngo nonua jvjv nga minjidunv: yvvdw ngam mvngjwng dunv hv ngoogv rinam aingbv rire—am, hv kaiyanv goka rire, ogulvgavbolo ngo abu gvlo vngjinv.
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.
Okv nonu ngoogv amin bv ogugo kooridw ngo rijire, Abu gv kairungnv jwkrw nga Kuunyilo gvlokv kaatam kunam lvgabv.
14 Anything that you ask [my Father to do, anything that you ask] with my [authority] [MTY], I will do.”
Nonu ngoogv amin bv ngam ogugo kooridw, ngo um rijire.”
15 “If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
“Nonu nga mvngjwng bolo, nonu ngoogv gamki nama tvjirijire.
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 g165)
Ngo Abunyi koore, okv hv nonua ridur rianv kvvbigo jire, hv nonua dvbvsvngtambv dooming gvvre. (aiōn g165)
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.
Hv Dow hv Pwknvyarnv gv jvjv nga kaatam rianv. Nyiamooku v ninyia naarwk nyumare, ogulvgavbolo hv ninyia chima vmalo kaakwma. Vbvritola nonu ninyia chindu, ogulvgavbolo hv nonu gvlo lvkobv doobwngdu okv nonu lo doodu.”
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.)
“Vdwlo ngo vngro jeka, nonua ngo opin jvbv doomu mare; ngo nonu gvlo aakur reku.
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.
Nyia mooku hv ngam ayungjvma nga kaapa kumare, vbvritola nonu ngam kaare; ogulvgavbolo ngo turre, okv nonu ka turre.
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.
Vdwlo ho aluv lori kudw, nonu chinre ngo Abu gvlo doodu, okv nonu ngoogvlo doodu, ngo oguaingbv nonu gvlo doodudw ho apiabv.”
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].”
“Yvvdw ngoogv gamki nama torwk sudunv okv um tvduridunv hv ngam paknvrinvbv ridunv. Yvvdw ngam pakdunv um ngoogv Abu pakre; ngooka ninyia paktare okv ngo atuv ninyia kaatam sure.”
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]?”
(Judas Iskariotnyi miyamabv) Judas gunv minto, “Ahtu, no atuv ngonua kaatamre okv nyiamookua kaatam sumare, hv oguaingbv ritv dunv?”
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).
Jisu ninyia minrwkto, “Yvvdw ngam pakdunv hv ngoogv tamsar nama tvduridunv. Ngoogv Abu ninyia pakre, okv ngo la Abu ninyi gvlo aala lvkobv dooming gvvre.
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.
Yvvdw ngam pakma dunv ngoogv tamsar nama tvvmarima dunv. Okv nonugv tvvnam ngoogv tamsar namv ngo gvngvma, vbvritola ngam vngmunv Abu gvlo naapvnv.”
25 I have told you all these things while I am still with you.
“Ngo nonua minpvkunv nonuam lvkobv doodula.
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.
Ridur rianv, Darwknv Dow, Abu gv ngo amin bv imu kujinam v, nonua tamsarre okv ngoogv nonua minam dvdv nga mvngpa more.”
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.
“Nonua ngo sarsopoyo nama lvkobv kayu jido; so si ngo atugv sarsopvyo nama nonua jipvnv. Um ngo nyiamooku gv rinam aingbv jima. Mvngdwk mvngkula doomabvka; Busu mabvka.
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].
Nonu ngam nonua ‘Ngo vngjinv, vdubv tvvdu, vbvritola ngo nonu gvlo aakur reku,’ nonu ngam pakdu bolo, ngoogv Abu gvlo vngnam ha nonu mvngpure; ogulvgavbolo hv ngam kaiyanv.
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].
Ngo nonua mintam chodunv so gv ogumvnwng si ritv madvbv, vkvlvga vdwlo si rirekudw nonu mvngjwng reku.
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.
Ngo nonua awgo raami sidubv rinyuma, ogulvgavbolo nyiamookua rigvdakgv nvngv aariku. Hvkvgv jwkrw ngv ngam rigum lamare,
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.”
vbvritola nyiamookuv chirung laka ngo Abunyi pakdunv; vkvlvgalo ngo ogumvnwng ngam ridunv ninyigv ngam minam dvdv nga.” “Aatoka, klvi so mooku lokv vngla kuju.”
