John 16
1 "These things I have spoken to you in order to clear stumbling-blocks out of your path.
N'khah uh pawt ham ni nangmih taengah he he ka thui.
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.
Nangmih te a hael la n'haek uh ni. A tue ha pawk vaengah hlang boeih loh nangmih n'ngawn te Pathen taengkah thothuengnah a khueh la a ngai uh ni.
3 And they will do these things because they have failed to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.
Te khaw a Pa neh kai m'ming uh pawt dongah ni a saii uh eh.
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.
Tedae he he nangmih kan thui coeng. Te daengah ni a tue ha pawk vaengah kai loh nangmih kan ti nah te na poek uh eh. Tedae nangmih taengah ka om dongah hekah he a tongcuek lamloh nangmih ham ka thui moenih.
5 But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you asks me where I am going.
Tedae kai aka tueih taengah ka cet pawn ni. Nangmih loh, “Melam na caeh eh?” tila kai nan dawt uh moenih.
6 But grief has filled your hearts because I have said all this to you.
Te phoeiah hekah he nangmih taengah ka thui coeng dongah kothaenah loh nangmih thinko te a koei.
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.
Tedae kai loh nangmih taengah oltak ka thui, Kai ka caeh te nangmih ham rhoei bet. Ka cet pawt koinih nangmih taengah baerhoep te ha pawk mahpawh, Tedae ka caeh atah nangmih taengla anih kan tueih ni.
8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; --
Anih te ha pawk vaengah diklai te tholh kawng khaw, duengnah kawng khaw, laitloeknah kawng khaw.
9 of sin, because they do not believe in me;
Kai n'tangnah uh pawt dongah tholhnah kawng.
10 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;
Pa taengla ka cet vetih kai nan hmuh uh voel pawt ham dongah duengnah kawng khaw.
11 of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence.
He diklai boei te lai a tloek coeng dongah laitloeknah kawng khaw a toeltham ni.
12 "I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present to bear the burden of it.
Nangmih taengah thui ham muep om pueng dae nangmih loh tahae ah na doe uh tloel.
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.
Tedae amah ha pawk vaengah tah, oltak Mueihla loh nangmih te oltak dongah a cungkuem la long n'tueng ni. Amah lamloh thui pawt vetih a yaak te boeih a thui ni. Te vaengah aka lo te khaw nangmih taengah ha puen ni.
14 He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine and will make it known to you.
Te long ni kai n'thangpom eh. Kamah hut te a doe vetih nangmih taengla ha puen ni.
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.
Pa loh a khueh boeih te kai kah ni, Te dongah, ‘Kamah kah te a doe tih nangmih taengah ka puen bitni,’ ka ti.
16 "A little while and you see me no more, and again a little while and you shall see me."
“Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh pawt sui dae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
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'?"
Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek khuiah khat neh khat te, “Mamih taengah, ‘Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh voel pawt sui dae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni. Te phoeiah pa taengla ka cet ni,’ a ti te metlam a om,” a ti uh.
18 So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that 'little while' mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words."
Te dongah, “A thui te me tlam nim a om te? ‘Kolkalh ah’ a ti te m'ming uh moenih,” a ti uh.
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'?
Anih dawt ham a ngaih uh te Jesuh loh a ming dongah amih te, “‘Kolkalh om vetih kai nan hmu uh mahpawh, Tedae rhaih koep om vetih kai nan hmuh uh ni,’ tila ka thui dongah he khat neh khat na dawt uh thae.
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.
Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, na rhap uh vetih na nguek uh ni. Tedae diklai loh a uem vetih na kothae uh ni. Tedae nangmih kah kothaenah te omngaihnah la poeh ni.
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.
Huta loh a tue a pha tih ca a cun vaengah kothaenah a khueh. Tedae camoe te a cun vaengah tah diklai ah hlang a cun te a omngaihnah neh phacip phabaem te poek pawh.
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.
Te dongah nangmih khaw tahae ah kothaenah na khueh uh dae nangmih te koep kan hip vetih nangmih thinko loh omngaih bitni. Nangmih kah omngaihnah te nangmih lamkah rhawt uh mahpawh.
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.
Tekah khohnin ah kai nan dawt uh loengloeng mahpawh. Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, kai ming neh Pa taengah na bih te tah nangmih m'paek bitni.
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.
Tahae duela kai ming neh na bih uh te a hong moenih. Bih uh lamtah na dang uh bitni. Te daengah ni nangmih kah omngaihnah loh a soep la a om eh.
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.
Thuidoeknah neh nangmih taengah hekah he ka thui coeng. A tue ha pawk vaengah tah thuidoeknah neh nangmih kam voek voel mahpawh. Tedae pa kawng nangmih taengah sayalh la ka puen bitni.
26 At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,
Tekah khohnin ah kai ming neh na bih uh ni. Tedae nangmih ham kai loh a pa taengah ka dawt ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui moenih.
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.
Pa amah loh nangmih n'lungnah te nangmih loh kai nan lungnah tih Pathen lamkah ka suntlak he na tangnah uh dongah ni.
28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."
“Pa taeng lamkah ka lo tih diklai la kam pha coeng. Diklai te ka hlah vetih pa taengah koep ka cet ni,” a ti nah.
29 "Ah, now you are using plain language," said His disciples, "and are uttering no figure of speech!
A hnukbang rhoek loh, “Sayalh la na thui coeng tih thuidoeknah na thui pawt la he.
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."
Boeih na ming dongah u long khaw nang dawt ham pakhat khaw ngoe pawh tila ka ming uh coeng, te nen ni Pathen taeng lamkah na lo te kan tangnah uh,” a ti nah.
31 "Do you at last believe?" replied Jesus.
Jesuh loh amih te, “Na tangnah uh pawn a?
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.
A tue ha pawk coeng ke, pakhat rhip loh amah amah ah na taekyak uh tih kamah bueng nan hlah uh ham ni ha pawk coeng, Tedae a pa he kai taengah om tih kamah bueng ka om moenih.
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."
He he nangmih taengah ka thui daengah ni kai rhangneh ngaimongnah na dang uh eh. Diklai ah phacip phabaem na dang uh ni. Tedae na ngaimong sak uh. Kai loh diklai ka noeng coeng,” a ti nah.
