< John 16 >

1 "These things I have spoken to you in order to clear stumbling-blocks out of your path.
Nibhajobhili mambo agha ili msibhwesi kukwazibhwa.
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.
Bhibeta kubhapisya kwibhala mu masinagogi; hakika saa jhihida ambajho khila jha ibetakubhakhoma ibetakufikiri ibhomba mbombo jhinofu kwa ndabah jha K'yara.
3 And they will do these things because they have failed to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.
Bhibetakubhabhombela mambo agha kwa ndabha bhammanyilepi Dadi wala bhanimanyilepi nene.
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.
Nibhajobhili mambo agha ili kwamba wakati ukafikayi ghwa agha kutokela, mwibhwesya kughakhomboka na jinsi kyanibhajobhili mubhwesiajhi bhene. Nabhajobhilepi kuhusu mambo agha kuh'omela kubhwandelu kwa ndabha najhele pamonga namu.
5 But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you asks me where I am going.
Japokujha, henu nilota kwa jhola jhaanilaghisi; lakini ajhelepi kati jha muenga jha akanikota, “Wilotandakhu?”
6 But grief has filled your hearts because I have said all this to you.
Kwa ndabha nijobhili malobhi agha kwa muenga, huzuni imemili mu mioyo jha jhomu.
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.
Hata naha, nikabhajobhela ukweli: ni vyema kwa muenga nikabhokayi; kwa ndabha nikabelakubhoka, mfariji ibetalepi kuhida kwa muenga; lakini nikalotayi nibetakundaghisya kwa muenga.
8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; --
Akahidayi, mfariji ojhu ibetakuubitisha ulimwengu kuhusiana ni dhambi, kuhusiana ni haki na kuhusiana ni hukumu.
9 of sin, because they do not believe in me;
Kuhusiana ni dhambi, kwa ndabha bhabelikunikiera nene,
10 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;
kuhusiana ni haki, kwa ndabha nilota kwa dadi, na mwibetalepi kunibhona kabhele'
11 of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence.
ni kuhusiana ni hukumu kwa ndabha mbaha ghwa ulimwengu obho ahukumibhu.
12 "I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present to bear the burden of it.
Nijhenaku mingi gha kubhajobhela, lakini mwibetalepi kughatekelesya henu.
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.
Lakini, muene, Roho ghwa kweli, akahidayi, ibetakubhalongosya mu bhukweli ghoha; kwa kujha ibetalepi kulongela kwa ndabha jha muene; lakini ghoha ghaibetakughap'eleka, ibetakughajobha mambo aghu; na ibetakughadhihirisha kwa jhomu mambo agha ghaghibetakuhida.
14 He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine and will make it known to you.
Muene jha ibetakunitukusya nene, kwa ndabha ibetakughatola mambo ghangu ni kughatangasya kwa muenga.
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.
Fenu fyoha fya ajhenafu Dadi ndo fya nene; henu, nijobhili kujha Roho ibetakutola mambo ghangu ni kughadhihirisha kwa muenga.
16 "A little while and you see me no more, and again a little while and you shall see me."
Bado muda bhufupi, mwibetalepi kunibhona kabhele; ni baada jha muda bhufupi kabhele, mwibetakunibhona.”
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'?"
Baadhi jha bhanafunzi bha muene bhakajobhesana, “Kiki yaakatujobhela, “muda bhufupi, na mwibetalepi kunibhona kabhele,' na, kisha, mda bhufupi mkanibhona,' na, 'kwandabha nilota kwa Dadi?”
18 So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that 'little while' mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words."
Henu, bhakajobha, 'Khenu kheleku kyaijobha, 'Bado mda mfupi'? Tumanyilepi kyaijobha.
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'?
Yesu abhuene bhinoghela kun'kota, ni muene akabhajobhela, “Mwikikota, mwe bhene kuhusu e'le, kyanijobhili, 'Bado mda mfupi, mwibetalepi kunibhona kabhele; na baada jha muda mfupi mwibetakunibhona'?
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.
Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, mwibetakulela ni kuombolesya, lakini ulimwengu wibetakushangilila, mwibetakujha ni huzuni lakini huzuni jha muenga ibetakugeuka kujha furaha.
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.
N'dala ijha ni huzuni wakati paijha ni uchungu kwandabha wakati ghwa kwifungula ufikili; lakini paikifungula muana, ikhomboka lepi kabhele maumivu kwandabha jha furaha jha muene kwamba muana ahogoliki pa duniani.
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.
Muenga mujheni huzuni henu, lakini nibetakubhabhona kabhele; ni mioyo jha jhomu ibetakuhobhoka na ajhelepi jhaibeta kubhwesya kujhibhosya furaha jha muenga.
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.
Ligono e'le mwibetata lepi kunikota maswali. Aminiayi, Aminiayi, nikabhajobhela,
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.
Mkas'okayi kyokyoha kwa Dadi, ibetakubhap'ela kwa lihina lya nene; musokayi, namu mwibetakupokela ili kwamba furaha jha muenga ikamilikayi.
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.
Nilongilili ni muenga kwa lugha jha jhibelikujhelebhweka, lakini saa jhihida ambapo nibetalepi kulongela kwa lugha jhajhiyeleweka lepi, lakini badala jhiake nibetakubhajobhela waziwazi kuhusu Dadi.
26 At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,
Ligono e'lu mwibetakus'oka kwa lihina lya nene, na nikabhajobhela lepi kujha nibetakus'oka kwa Dadi kwa ndabha jha muenga;
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.
Kwa kujha Dadi muene abhaganili kwandabha mniganili nene na kwandabha muniamini kujha nihomili kwa Dadi.
28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."
Nah'omili kwa Dadi na nahidili ku ulimwengu; kabhele, nibhoka ulimwenguni na nilota kwa Dadi”.
29 "Ah, now you are using plain language," said His disciples, "and are uttering no figure of speech!
Bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'jobhela, “Ghwilola, henu ghwilongela wazi wazi na witumila lepi mafumbo.
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."
Henu, tumanyili kujha umanyili mambo ghoha, na wilonda lepi munu jhejhioha akukotayi maswali. Kwandabha ejhe twikiera kujha ghwihomela kwa K'yara.
31 "Do you at last believe?" replied Jesus.
Yesu akabhajibu, “Henu muamini?”
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.
Langayi, saa jhihida, ena na hakika jhifikili, ambapo mwibetakutabhwanyika khila mmonga ni kwa bhene mwibetakunileka najhoni. Lakini nijhelepi ne muene kwandabha Dadi ajhele nani.
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."
Nikabhajobhela mambo agha ili kwamba mugati mwa nene mujhelayi ni amani. Duniani mujhe ni matatizo, lakini mukipelayi muoyo, nibhushindili ulimwengu.
