John 16
1 "These things I have spoken to you in order to clear stumbling-blocks out of your path.
“Nami jumeinak käh nami hawih vaia ka ning jah mthehki.
2 You will be excluded from the synagogues; nay more, the time is coming when any one who has murdered one of you will suppose he is offering service to God.
“Sinakokea k’um üngkhyüh ning jah ksät khaie. Ning jah hnimki naw Pamhnama khut ka pawki ti lü ami ngaihnaka kcün pha law khai.
3 And they will do these things because they have failed to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.
“Amimi naw Pa am ksing u, kei pi am na ksingkiea kya se, nami khana acukba pawh law khaie.
4 But I have spoken these things to you in order that when the time for their accomplishment comes you may remember them, and may recollect that I told you. I did not, however, tell you all this at first, because I was still with you.
“Akcün a pha law üng, ahlana ka ning jah mtheh päng ti cun nami süm vaia tuh ka ning jah mthehki. Nami hlawnga ka ve hama phäh ahin he ahlana am ning jah mtheh khawi nawng.
5 But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you asks me where I am going.
“Atuh na tüi lawkia veia ka cit khai. Nangmi üng u naw pi, ‘Hawia na cit khai?’ ti lü am na kthäh uki.
6 But grief has filled your hearts because I have said all this to you.
“Ahin ka pyen nami ngjaka phäh aktäa nami pukseki.
7 "Yet it is the truth that I am telling you--it is to your advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
“Acunsepi, akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: ka ceh hin nami phäha daw bawki ni; am ka ceh üng ning jah Kpüikpak khai am law khaia kyaki. Ka ceh üng va nami veia ani ka tüi law khai.
8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; --
“Ani a law üng, khawmdek khyangea mkhyenaka mawng ami ksing mkhye ja, akdaw ami pawh ja Pamhnama ngthumkhyahnaka mawng cun jah mdan law khai.
9 of sin, because they do not believe in me;
“Kei am ami na juma phäh, mkhyenaka mawng ami ksing cun khyekia kyaki.
10 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;
“Kei ka Paa veia cit be ngü se am ami na hmuh tia phäh, akdaw pawh vai am ksing u.
11 of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence.
“Khawmdek upki cun naw ngthumkhyahnak khamei pängkia kyase, ngthumkhyahnak naw ami mkhyenak ngdangsaki.
12 "I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present to bear the burden of it.
“Ka ning jah mtheh vai khawhah ve sepi, atuha nangmi naw am ksing päih khawh uki.
13 But when He has come--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, and He will make known the future to you.
“Acunsepi, Pamhnama mawng ngthungtak pyenki Ngmüimkhya a pha law üng, ani naw lam ning jah msüm khai. Amäta ana sumei lü pyen khai am ni. Ahmäi a ngjak pyen lü malama pha law khaie pi ning jah mtheh khai.
14 He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine and will make it known to you.
“Keia pyen naküt cun nangmi üng ning jah mtheh be khaia kyase, kei cun ani naw na mhlünmtai khai.
15 Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make it known to you.
“Paa ka naküt cun keia kaa kyaki. Acunakyase, kei naw ka mtheh naküt cun Ngmüimkhya naw nangmi üng ning jah mtheh be khai.”
16 "A little while and you see me no more, and again a little while and you shall see me."
“Asängca üng nangmi naw kei am na hmu ti u lü, asängca bä üng nami na hmu be khai” a ti.
17 Some of His disciples therefore said to one another, "What does this mean which He is telling us, 'A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me,' and 'Because I am going to the Father'?"
Axüisawe avang naw, “I a pyen hlünak ni? ‘Asängca üng am mi hmu u lü, asängca bä üng mi hmu be khai,’ a ti ja, ‘Paa veia ka cit khaia kyase’ a ti hin i ni, ti lü mat ja mat ngthähkie.
18 So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that 'little while' mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words."
“‘Asängca’ a ti hin i a ti ni? A ngthu pyena suilam am ksing ve u ngü” ami ti.
19 Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, "Is this what you are questioning one another about--my saying, 'A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me'?
Kthähkhyah hlükie ti Jesuh naw ksing lü, “Asängca üng nangmi naw kei am na hmu ti u lü, asängca bä üng nami na hmu be khai’ ti lü, ka pyen namimät nami ngthähkie aw?
20 In most solemn truth I tell you that you will weep aloud and lament, but the world will be glad. You will mourn, but your grief will be turned into gladness.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: nangmi kyap lü nami mbawi khaie, khawmdek ta jekyai khai. Nami pukse khai, cunüngpi nami puksetnak cun jenaka ngläüh khai.
21 A woman, when she is in labour, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has given birth to the babe, she no longer remembers the pain, because of her joy at a child being born into the world.
“Nghnumi a ca law hlü üng pukse khawiki. Isetiakyaküng, a huiheinak vaia kcün cäh lawkia kyase ni. Cunüngpi naca hmi lawki a hmuh ja a huihei naküt mhnihinki. Isetiakyaküng, naca cun khawmdek khana a hmi law pänga phäh jekyainak am beki.
22 So you also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and your gladness no one will take away from you.
“Tukbäih nangmi pi nami pukseki; acunsepi ning jah hmu be ngü se jenak am nami kümcei khai. Nami mlung jenak am be se, u naw käh ning jah hutei khai.
23 You will put no questions to me then. "In most solemn truth I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for in my name He will give you.
“Acuna mhnüp üng nangmi naw i pi am na kthäh ti uki. Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: Paa veia ahmäi ka ngming am nami täsam naküt Pa naw ning jah pe khai.
24 As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness.
“Tuh vei cäpa ka ngming üng i am tä ham uki; nami jenaka kümceinak vaia täsam ua, nami yah khai.
25 "All this I have spoken to you in veiled language. The time is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language, but will tell you about the Father in plain words.
“Ahina ngthu msuimcäpnak am ka ning jah mtheh pängki. Msuimcäpnak üng am ning jah mtheh lü Paa mawng angsinga ka ning jah mtheh vaia kcün cun pha law khai.
26 At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,
“Acuna mhnüp apha law üng, ka ngming üng ania veia nami ktaiyü khai; Pa veia nami kcaha ka ning jah ktaiyü pet khai am ti nawng;
27 for the Father Himself holds you dear, because you have held me dear and have believed that I came from the Father's presence.
“Isetiakyaküng, nangmi naw kei na mhläkphya na u lü, kei Pa üngka naw ka lawki ti nami jumkia kyase Pa naw pi ning jah mhläkphyanaki.
28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."
“Kei, Pa üngka naw law lü, khawmdek khana ka lawki. Khawmdek ceh ta lü Paa veia ka cit be khaia kyaki” a ti.
29 "Ah, now you are using plain language," said His disciples, "and are uttering no figure of speech!
Acunüng, axüisaw he naw, “Tenga, tuh ta msuimcäpnak kaa angsinga ngthu pyen veki.
30 Now we know that you have all knowledge, and do not need to be pressed with questions. Through this we believe that you came from God."
“Nang naw ahmäi na ksingki, u naw ani kthäh vai am hlü ve ti atuh kami ksingki he. Ahina phäha Pamhnam üngka naw na lawki ti jum ve ung” ami ti.
31 "Do you at last believe?" replied Jesus.
Jesuh naw, “Tuh mä nami jum?
32 "Remember that the time is coming, nay, has already come, for you all to be dispersed each to his own home and to leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
“Teng u, akcün pha law hlüki, pha law päng ve. Acuna kcün üng kei kamät däk na hawih u lü, nami im phähphäha nami dawng be khaie. Acunsepi, Pa ka hlawnga vekia kyase kamät däk am ve nawng.
33 "I have spoken all this to you in order that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction. But keep up your courage: I have won the victory over the world."
“Kei üngkhyüh dimdeihnak nami yah vaia ahin ka ning jah mtheh päng ni. Khawmdek naw ning jah mkhuimkha khai. Cunsepi, linglai lü ve ua. Kei naw khawmdek ka näng päng ni” a ti.
