< John 14 >
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mommma mo akoma nntu. Monnye Onyankopɔn nni na monnye me nso nni.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Tenaberɛ bebree wɔ mʼAgya efie, ɛno enti, merekɔ akɔsiesie baabi ama mo. Sɛ asɛm a mereka yi nyɛ nokorɛ a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
Na sɛ mekɔ na mekɔsiesie baabi ma mo a, mɛsane aba abɛfa mo akɔ na me ne mo akɔtena.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Monim faako a merekɔ no ne ɛkwan ko a mobɛfa so aba hɔ bi.”
5 Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Toma bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade yɛnnim faako a worekɔ na yɛbɛyɛ dɛn ahunu ɛkwan aba hɔ bi?”
6 Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.
Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mene ɛkwan no, ne nokorɛ no, ne nkwa no; obi ntumi nkɔ Agya no hɔ, gye sɛ ɔfa me so.”
7 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Yesu kaa bio sɛ, “Afei a moahunu onipa ko a meyɛ yi, saa ara nso na mobɛhunu mʼAgya no, na ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ yi monim no, ɛfiri sɛ, moahunu no!”
8 Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Filipo bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, kyerɛ yɛn Agya no, ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ara ne no.”
9 Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip? he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Show us the Father?
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Filipo, enti me ne mo nanteeɛ dadaada yi, wonnim onipa ko a meyɛ? Obiara a ɔnim onipa ko a meyɛ no nim mʼAgya no. Adɛn enti na woka sɛ, ‘Kyerɛ yɛn Agya’ no?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you, I speak not from myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Filipo wonnye nni sɛ mewɔ Agya no mu na Agya no nso wɔ me mu? Yesu sane ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no mfiri mʼankasa. Agya a ɔte me mu no na ɔnam me so yɛ nʼadwuma.
11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Monnye me nni sɛ mewɔ Agya no mu na Agya no nso wɔ me mu. Sɛ monnnye nsɛm a maka no nni a, nnwuma a mayɛ no enti, monnye nni.
12 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go to my Father.
Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo, obiara a ɔgye me di no, bɛyɛ nnwuma a meyɛ no bi na mpo ɔbɛyɛ nnwuma akɛseakɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, merekɔ mʼAgya no nkyɛn.
13 And whatever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Na biribiara a mobɛbisa wɔ me din mu no, mɛyɛ ama mo, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Agya no animuonyam nam ne Ba no so bɛda adi.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
Biribiara a mode me din bɛbisa no, mɛyɛ ama mo.”
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
“Sɛ modɔ me a, mobɛdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (aiōn )
Mɛbisa Agya no na wama mo ɔboafoɔ foforɔ a ɔne Honhom Kronkron no a ɔda Onyankopɔn nokorɛ nyinaa adi no na ɔne mo atena daa. (aiōn )
17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and will be in you.
Ewiase rentumi nnye no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnhunu no, na wɔnnim no. Nanso, mo deɛ, monim no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔne mo na ɛte.
18 I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
Merennya mo sɛ nwisiaa; mɛsane aba mo nkyɛn bio.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Ɛrenkyɛre biara nnipa renhunu me bio, nanso mo deɛ, mobɛhunu me; na ɛsiane sɛ mete ase no enti, mo nso mobɛtena ase.
20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Na da a mɛsɔre afiri awufoɔ mu no duru a, mobɛhunu sɛ mewɔ mʼAgya no mu, na mo nso mowɔ me mu, sɛdeɛ me nso mewɔ mo mu no.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Obiara a ɔdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so no ne obi a ɔdɔ me. Obiara a ɔdɔ me no mʼAgya bɛdɔ no, na me nso mɛdɔ no na mada me ho adi akyerɛ no.”
22 Judas, not Iscariot, saith to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
Yuda, a ɛnyɛ Iskariot, kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wobɛda wo ho adi akyerɛ yɛn nko ara na ɛnyɛ nnipa nyinaa?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loveth me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Obiara a ɔdɔ me no bɛdi me nsɛm so. MʼAgya bɛdɔ no na me ne mʼAgya bɛba ne nkyɛn ne no abɛtena.
24 He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me.
Obiara a ɔnnɔ me no renni me nsɛm so. Nsɛm a moate no nyɛ me ara me nsɛm, na mmom, ɛfiri mʼAgya a ɔsomaa me no nkyɛn.
25 These things have I spoken to you, being [yet] present with you.
“Mewɔ mo nkyɛn yi na mereka yeinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo.
26 But the Comforter, [who is] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
Honhom Kronkron no a ɔne ɔboafoɔ a Agya no bɛsoma no me din mu no, bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mo biribiara, na wakaakae mo biribiara a maka akyerɛ mo no.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Asomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo; mʼasomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo. Ɛnyɛ ewiase asomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo. Mommma mo akoma nntu; na monnsuro nso.
28 Ye have heard that I said to you, I go away, and come [again] to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
“Monkae asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ‘Merekɔ, nanso mɛsane aba mo nkyɛn bio’ no. Sɛ modɔ me ampa ara a, anka mo ani bɛgye, ɛfiri sɛ, afei deɛ, mɛtumi akɔ Agya a ɔwɔ tumi sene me no nkyɛn.
29 And now I have told you before it cometh to pass, that when it hath come to pass, ye may believe.
Maka yeinom akyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛba mu a mobɛgye me adi.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
Merentumi nkɔ so nkasa pii nkyerɛ mo bio, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbonsam no reba, nanso ɔnni me so tumi.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
Na ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa hunu sɛ medɔ Agya no, ɛno enti na asɛm biara a ɔbɛka no, meyɛ no. “Monsɔre ma yɛnkɔ.”
