John 16

1 These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye be not sclaundrid.

I have spoken these things to you, that you may not be offended.

2 Thei schulen make you with outen the synagogis, but the our cometh, that ech man that sleeth you, deme that he doith seruyce to God.

They will put you out of the synagogues: but the hour is coming, that every one killing you may think he is offering service to God.

3 And thei schulen do to you these thingis, for thei han not knowun the fadir, nether me.

And they will do these things, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

4 But these thingis Y spak to you, that whanne the our `of hem schal come, ye haue mynde, that Y seide to you.

But I have spoken these things to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I did say them to you. But I said not these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

5 Y seide not to you these thingis fro the bigynnyng, for Y was with you. And now Y go to hym that sente me, and no man of you axith me, Whidur `thou goist?

But now I go to Him that sent me; and no one of you asks me, Whither goest thou?

6 but for Y haue spokun to you these thingis, heuynesse hath fulfillid youre herte.

But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 But Y seie to you treuthe, it spedith to you, that Y go; for if Y go not forth, the coumfortour schal not come to you; but if Y go forth, Y schal sende hym to you.

But now I tell you the truth; it is profitable to you that I may go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I may go, I will send Him to you.

8 And whanne he cometh, he schal repreue the world of synne, and of riytwisnesse, and of doom.

And having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.

9 Of synne, for thei han not bileued in me;

Concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe on me; and concerning righteousness;

10 and of riytwisnesse, for Y go to the fadir, and now ye schulen not se me;

because I go to the Father, and you see me no more;

11 but of doom, for the prince of this world is now demed.

and concerning judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

12 Yit Y haue many thingis for to seie to you, but ye moun not bere hem now.

I have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.

13 But whanne thilke spirit of treuthe cometh, he schal teche you al trewthe; for he schal not speke of hym silf, but what euer thinges he schal here, he schal speke; and he schal telle to you tho thingis that ben to come.

But when He, the Spirit of truth, may come, He will guide you in all truth: for He will not speak from Himself; but so many things as He hears, He will speak: and will proclaim to you the things which are coming.

14 He schal clarifie me, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.

He will glorify me: because He will receive from mine, and proclaim them unto you.

15 Alle thingis `whiche euer the fadir hath, ben myne; therfor Y seide to you, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.

And all things whatsoever the Father has are mine: therefore I said, that He takes from mine, and will proclaim them to you.

16 A litil, and thanne ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir.

A little while, and ye see me no more; again a little while, and ye shall see me.

17 Therfor summe of hise disciplis seiden togidere, What is this thing that he seith to vs, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir?

Then some of His disciples were saying to one another, What is this which He speaks to us, A little while, and you see me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me? and that I go to the Father?

18 Therfor thei seiden, What is this that he seith to vs, A litil? we witen not what he spekith.

Then they were speaking, What is this, Little while, of which He speaks? and we know not what He is talking about.

19 And Jhesus knew, that thei wolden axe hym, and he seide to hem, Of this thing ye seken among you, for Y seide, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me.

Jesus knew that they wished to ask Him, and said to them, You are seeking with one another concerning this, because I said, A little while, and you see me no more, and again a little while, and you shall see me?

20 Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, that ye schulen mourne and wepe, but the world schal haue ioye; and ye schulen be soreuful, but youre sorewe schal turne in to ioye.

Truly, truly, I say unto you, that you will weep and mourn, and the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

21 A womman whanne sche berith child, hath heuynesse, for hir tyme is comun; but whanne sche hath borun a sone, now sche thenkith not on the peyne, for ioye, for a man is borun in to the world.

When a woman may bring forth she has sorrow, because her hour has come: but when the little child may be born, she remembers her suffering no more, for the joy that a man has been born into the world.

22 And therfor ye han now sorew, but eftsoone Y schal se you, and youre herte schal haue ioie, and no man schal take fro you youre ioie.

Therefore you indeed also now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one taketh your joy from you.

23 And in that day ye schulen not axe me ony thing; treuli, treuli, `Y seie to you, if ye axen the fadir ony thing in my name, he schal yyue to you.

And in that day you will ask of me nothing. Truly, truly, I say unto you, Whatsoever you may ask the Father, He will give it to you in my name.

24 `Til now ye axiden no thing in my name; `axe ye, `and ye schulen take, that youre ioie be ful.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, in order that your joy may be full.

25 Y haue spokun to you these thingis in prouerbis; the our cometh, whanne now Y schal not speke to you in prouerbis, but opynli of my fadir Y schal telle to you.

I have spoken these things unto you in parables; the hour comes, when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but openly will I proclaim to you concerning the Father.

26 In that dai ye schulen axe in my name; and Y seie not to you, that Y schal preye the fadir of you;

In that clay you shall ask in my name: and I do not say, that I will ask the Father for you;

27 for the fadir hym silf loueth you, for ye han loued me, and han bileued, that Y wente out fro God.

for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me as a friend, and you have believed that I came out from God.

28 Y wente out fro the fadir, and Y cam in to the world; eftsoone Y leeue the world, and Y go to the fadir.

I came out from the Father, and have come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 Hise disciplis seiden to hym, Lo! now thou spekist opynli, and thou seist no prouerbe.

His disciples say; Behold, now you are talking openly, and speaking no parable.

30 Now we witen, that thou wost alle thingis; and it is not nede to thee, that ony man axe thee. In this thing we bileuen, that thou wentist out fro God.

Now we know that you know all things, and have no need that any one may ask you: in this we believe that you came out from God.

31 Jhesus answeride to hem, Now ye bileuen.

Jesus responded to them, Do you now believe?

32 Lo! the our cometh, and now it cometh, that ye be disparplid, ech in to hise owne thingis, and that ye leeue me aloone; and Y am not aloone, for the fadir is with me.

Behold, the hour cometh, and is already come, that you must be scattered abroad, each one to his own place, and leave me alone: I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye haue pees in me; in the world ye schulen haue disese, but trust ye, Y haue ouercomun the world.

I have spoken these things to you, in order that you may have peace in me. In the world you have tribulation: but take courage; I have conquered the world.
