John 16
1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “I have told you these things in order that you will not stop trusting in me [when people] ([cause you to suffer/persecute you]).
[Ngah ih arah jengkhaap ah baat rumhala, sen laalom ah naktoom toihaat an ngeh ah.
2 They will not allow you to worship in (synagogues/[their] meeting places). In fact, there will be a time when anyone who kills you will think that he is serving God [by doing that].
Sen loong ah Jehudi rangsoomnok nawa dokphanhaat ehan, eno sen tek haat saapoot uh thok eha, neng ih mok samthun ah sen tek haat ah suh Rangte mootkaat kalang ngeh ah.
3 They will do such things because they have never known who I [really am], nor who [my] Father [is].
Sek Soowah ah lajat thoidoh miloong ah emah reeraang rum ah.
4 I have told you these things in order that when [they start] ([to cause you to suffer]/to [persecute you]) [MTY], you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you these things when you first started [to accompany me] [MTY] because I was with you, [and they were causing trouble for me, not for you].”
Amadi sen loong asuh baat rumhala langla, emah ih siiwi handoh sen loong ah ih toom samthun an. [Jaakhodi, ngah sen damdi ang thoidi arah tiit ah tabaat rum taha.
5 “Now I am [about to] return to the one who sent me. But [I am disappointed that] none of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’
Ngah o ih daapkaat tahang, amadi heh taang ni ngaakwang lang, erabah uh sen ih ngasuh mani wanglu ngeh ih o ih uh tacheng ri.
6 Instead, because I have told you these things, you are very sad.
Eno amadi sen suh emah baatrum kohaano, sen loong ah thungjoong elan.
7 But the truth is that it is good for you that I am going away, because if I do not go away, the [Holy Spirit], who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you will not come to you. But when I go, I will send him to you.
Enoothong sen loong asuh amiisak tiit ah baat rumhala: Ngah wanglaan ih ang bah sen raang ih ese ang ah, tiimnge liidi ngah lamok wang kangbah sen Chosokte ah sen jiinnah taraara ang ah. Enoothong ngah dok soonwang tangno, sen Chosokte ah ekaat ih thuk hang.
8 When he comes, he will prove that those who do not belong to God [MTY] [are wrong about what is] sinful and about who is really righteous and about whom [God will] judge [and condemn for their sin].
Esa Chiiala ah ra haano, mongrep mina suh neng rangdah tiit ah jatthuk ah, kateng tiit ah jatthuk ah, erah damdoh Rangte ih dande tiit ah jatthuk ih ah.
9 [He will tell people that their greatest] sin is that they do not believe in me.
Ngah lahanpi thoidoh, neng ih rangdah tiit ah tadanjat rumka ang ah;
10 [He will tell people that] because I am going [back] to my Father, and you will no longer see me, [you will know that I am the one who was truly] righteous.
neng ih kateng tiit ah tajat rumka, tiimnge liidi ngah seng Wah reeni wanglang eno ngah takah japtupri ang ah,
11 [He will tell people that the fact] that [God] has already determined that [he] will punish [Satan], the one who rules this world, shows that [some day God] will also punish [those who do not belong to him].
eno neng loong ah dande tiit ah tajat rumka, tiimnge liidi arah mongrep dowa neng pante ah jen dande eta.
12 I have many more things that [I would like] to tell you, but you are not able to accept them now.
[Ngah ih sen suh baattheng ene tah angka, erabah uh amadoh baat rumha bah tajen naanchaat kan ang ah.
13 But [God’s] Spirit is the one who will teach you [God’s] truth. When he comes, he will guide you so that you [understand] all [spiritual] truth. He will not speak from his own [authority]. Instead, it is the things that he hears [my Father say] that he will tell you. He will also tell you about things that will happen [later].
Enoothong, Rangte amiitiit jatthukte Chiiala raaha doh, heh ih amiisak lampo adoh siit han. Heh ih heh chaan nawa ih tajengka ang ah, enoothong heh ih tiimjih japchaat ah erah ba jeng ah nyia lakngah nawa tiit ah ba baat han.
14 He will honor me by revealing my [truth] to you.
Sen suh Chiiala ah ih nga jeng ah baatkaat hanno nga rangka thuk hang.
15 Everything that [my] Father has is mine. That is why I said that the Spirit is able to reveal my truth to you.”
Seng Wah suh tiimjeela jirep ah nga raangtaan; erah thoidoi baat rumhala Chiiala ih nga jiin nawa tiim chaat ah erah ah baat han.
16 “After a short time [I will leave you, and] you will not see me. Then a short time [after that] you will see me [again].”
[Chomroe doh sen ih ngah takah boot japtupri, eno chomroe lidoh ngah we japtup ehe.]
17 [So] some of us said to each other, “What does he mean by saying ‘After a short time you will not see me,’ and ‘A short time after that you will see me again’? And [what does he mean by] ‘Because I am going back to [my] Father’?”
Mararah heliphante loong ah nengneng chengmui rumta, [Heh ih tiim asuh liiha, chomroe doh sen ih takah boot japtupri eno chomroe lidoh ngah we japtup ehe ngeh ah; eno heh ih emah uh eli eha, ‘tiimnge liidi ngah seng Wah jiinni wanglang.’
18 We kept asking each other, “What [does he mean by] saying ‘After a little while’? We do not understand what he is saying.”
Chomroe ah tiim asuh liiha? Tiimjih suh li koja, erah seng ih tajatke!]
19 Jesus realized that we wanted to ask him [about that]. So he said to us, “You are asking [RHQ] each other [what I meant] when I said, ‘After a short time you will not see me, and then a short time [after that] you will see me [again].’
Jisu ih jat eta, heliphante loong ih heh suh cheng ah ngeh ah, erah raangtaan ih Jisu ih baat rumta, [Ngah ih liihang, ‘Chomroe sen ih takah boot japtupri, eno chomroe lidoh pootsiit we tup ehe.’ Erah li kangno tanih kah chengmui lan?
20 Listen to this carefully: [After I] ([leave you/die]), those who oppose God [MTY] will be happy, but you will be sad. But [later] you will stop being sad and you will become joyful.
Ngah ih ami tiit ah baat rumhala: Seng loong ah nga raangtaan ih ehu ih an, enoothong mongrep dowa miloong ah eroon ih ah; sen loong abah thungthet ih an erabah uh erah lih adoh eroon ih an.
21 A woman who is about to bear a child feels pain, because that is [what happens] [MTY] [at] that time. But after her baby is born, she forgets that pain, because she is very joyful that her child has been born.
Minuh ah heh sah tup tok thok kohaano sootsaam ela, tiimnge liidi heh chamnaang tok ah thok ehala; enoothong heh sah dongtup ano heh chamchoh ah beehaat eha, tiimnge liidi heh arah mongrep adi heh sah tup kano eroon ela.
22 It will be the same with you. [I will soon die and] you will be sad. But after that, I will see you again. Then you will be joyful, and no one will be able to stop you from being joyful.
Erah likhiik sen loong asuh emamah ang ah: Amadi sen loong ah thungthet elan, enoothong ngah ih we japtup ih rumha, eno sen loong ah erah than ih roon an sen tenroon ah o ih uh tajen nge ran.
23 When that happens, you will not ask me any questions [about anything]. Listen to this carefully: [After that happens, my] Father will do for you anything you ask, because of his relationship with me [MTY].
[Sen loong asuh ami tiit ah baat rumhala, saapoot thok haadoh sen ih tiim uh tasuh ri ang ah. Sen suh amiisak tiit baat rumhala; nga mendoh seng Wah jiin nawa tiimsuh an, erah heh ih kot ih han.
24 Up to the present time, using my authority you have not asked [God to do] anything for you [MTY]. Now keep asking [him for things that you need. If you do that], you will receive them, and then you will be completely joyful.
Amadoh nga mendoh maang suh ang an bah; sen ih suk ih an, eno erah choh anno sen ten laanchem roh ih roon an.
25 Although I have been speaking these things using figurative language, there will soon be a time when I will no longer use that kind of language. Instead, I will tell you plainly (about my Father/what my Father [wants]).
[Ngah ih arah jengkhaap loong ah tiitthaak toobaat damdi baat rumhala. Enoothong saapoot ah thok eha ngah ih tiitthaak lam ih takah baat rumra, enoothong seng Wah tiit ah saasa ih baat rumha.
26 At that time, you will ask [him for things] (because you belong to me/with my authority) [MTY]. I will not [need to] ask [my] Father to do what you ask.
Erah rangwu thok haadoh sen loong ah ih seng Wah jiin nawa nga mendoh suh an, sen mendoh nga ih suh ang ngeh ih taliikang,
27 [My] Father himself loves you because you have loved me and because you have believed that I came from God [my Father], [so he wants you to ask] him (OR, [so he does not need anyone to persuade] him [to help you])
Sengwah heteteewah ih sen loong ah minchan ih halan. Sen loong ah ih ngah nook kohe nyia Rangte reenawa ra hala ngeh ih hanpi thoidi seng Wah ih sen uh minchan ih halan.
28 I came from [my] Father into this world. Very soon I will be leaving this world and going [back] to my Father.”
Ngah arah mongrep adi seng Wah reenawa ra tahang, eno arah mongrep ah thiinhaat angno seng Wah jiinni ngaakwang lang.]
29 Then [we], his disciples, said, “Now you are speaking plainly, without using figurative language.
Eno heliphante loong ah ih Jisu suh baatta, [Amadi bah an ih saasa ih jenglu, tiitthaak lam ih labaat ah.
30 Now we understand that you know everything. You do not need anyone to ask you questions [about anything, because you know what we want to ask before we ask you]. That [also] leads us to believe that you came from God.”
Amadi kokjat ehi an ih jirep ah jat ehu ngeh ah; an suh mih ih miicheng jih tajeeka. Erah thoidi Rangte reenawa raahalu ngeh ih seng ih jat ehi.]
31 Jesus replied, “Now you [RHQ] say that you believe [that I came from God].
Jisu ih ngaakcheng rumta, [Amadi hanpi tam ih han?
32 But listen! There will soon be a time, and that time is already here, when you will all run away! Each of you will run away to your own home. You will leave me, and I will be alone. But I will not [really] be alone [at that time], because [my] Father is always with me.
Saapoot ah amadi jen thok ehala, sen loong ah noongrep nah saapsoon an, nga luulu thiinhaat heeno sen nok nah saapsoon an. Enoothong emah ebah nga luulu tah angkang, tiimnge liidi seng Wah nga damdi eje.
33 I have told you these things in order that you may have [inner] peace because of your relationship with me. In this world you will have trouble. But be courageous! I have defeated those who are opposed to me [MTY], and [you can defeat them, too]!”
Ngah ih arah tiit ah nga damdi anghanno semroongroong ih toomtong rum ah ngeh ih baat rumhala. Sen loong ah mongrep mih ih chamnaang ih thuk han. Enoothong sen lacho theng! Ngah ih mongrep ah jen etang!]
