Yohanes 14
1 Yesu yi edzi gblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Migana vɔvɔ̃ naɖo mi, eye miaƒe dzi naʋuʋu nyanyanya o. Mixɔ Mawu dzi se, eye mixɔ nye hã dzinye se.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.
2 Fofonye ƒe aƒe me la, xɔ geɖewo li, ne ɖe mele nenema o la, ne megblɔe na mi. Meyina afi ma, be madzra teƒe ɖo ɖi na mi.
In my Father’s house there are many rooms If it were not so, would I have told you that I went to prepare a place for you?
3 Ne meyi ɖadzra teƒe ɖo ɖi na mi la, matrɔ ava akplɔ mi be, mianɔ gbɔnye ale be afi si mele la, miawo hã mianɔ afi ma.
I will return and will take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be also.
4 Mienya afi si meyina la xoxo, eye mienya mɔ la hã.”
And the way is known to you all, where I am going."
5 Toma gblɔ nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, Aƒetɔ, mienya afi si nèyina o, aleke wɔ miate ŋu anya mɔ la?”
"We do not know where you are going Lord," said Thomas, "so how can we know the way?"
6 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyee nye Mɔ la, Nyateƒe la kple Agbe la. Ame aɖeke mate ŋu ayi Fofo la gbɔ o, negbe to dzinye ko.
Jesus answered him. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man ever comes to the Father but by me.
7 Ne ɖe mienya ame si ƒomevi menye la, anye ne mienya ame si ƒomevi Fofonye hã nye. Tso azɔ dzi la, mienya ame si Fofonye nye, eye miekpɔe hã!”
If you had known me, you would have known my Father too; from now on you know him and have seen him."
8 Filipo gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, fia Fofo la mí ekema míaƒe dzi adze eme.”
"Lord," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father, and we shall be satisfied."
9 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Filipo, ke va se ɖe fifi hã la, mènya ame si ƒomevi menye o. Ke esi meli kpli mi ŋkeke siawo katã hã mienyam kpɔ oa? Ame si kpɔm la, Fofo lae nye ema wòkpɔ. Ke nu ka ta miegale didim be, ‘Mafia Fofo la mi ɖo?’
"Have I been so long among you, and yet you, Philip, have you not recognized me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Cause us to see the Father’?
10 Ɖe miexɔe se be mele Fofo la me, eye Fofo la hã le menye oa? Nya siwo katã megblɔna la menye nye ŋutɔ nye nyawoe o, ke boŋ Fofonye si le menye la ƒe nyawoe. Fofo la wɔa eƒe dɔwo to dzinye.
"Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not of myself; but the Father, who ever dwells in me, is doing his own work.
11 Mixɔe se ko be mele Fofo la me, eye Fofo la hã le menye. Ne miate ŋu axɔ esia dzi se o la, ekema mixɔ dzinye se le nukunu geɖe siwo mewɔ miekpɔ la ta.
"Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very words’ sake.
12 Mele egblɔm na mi le nyateƒe me be ame si xɔ dzinye se la awɔ dɔ siwo katã mele wɔwɔm la, eye awɔ dɔ gãwo wu esiwo mewɔ, elabena meyina ɖe Fofo la gbɔ.
"I tell you solemnly that he who trusts in me shall himself do the works that I am doing; and still greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 Mawɔ nu sia nu si miabia le nye ŋkɔ dzi la na mi ale be Vi la nakɔ Fofo la ŋuti.
"And whatever’ you ask in my name I will do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Ne miebia nane to nye ŋkɔ dzi ko la, mawɔe na mi.
"If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “Ne mielɔ̃am la, miawɔ nye sewo dzi.
"If you love me, you will obey my commandments,
16 Mabia Fofo la, wòaɖo nyaxɔɖeakɔla bubu ɖe mi, ame si nye nyateƒe ƒe Gbɔgbɔ, be wòanɔ anyi kpli mi yi ɖe mavɔ me. (aiōn g165)
"and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you forever, (aiōn g165)
17 Xexea me mate ŋu axɔ nyateƒe ƒe Gbɔgbɔ la o, elabena mekpɔnɛ alo dzea sii o. Ke miawo la, mienyae, elabena ele mia me, eye wòanɔ anyi kpli mi.
"the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot receive him because it does not see him nor know him, but you know him, for he is ever with you and within you.
18 Nye la, nyemagblẽ mi ɖi abe tsyɔ̃eviwo ene o, matrɔ ava mia gbɔ.
"I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
19 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, xexea me tɔwo magakpɔm o, ke miawo ya, miakpɔm. Esi mele agbe ta la, miawo hã mianɔ agbe.
"Yet a little while and the world shall see me no more, but you shall see me; because I live, you, too, shall live.
20 Gbe ma gbe la, mianya be mele Fofo la me, eye miawo miele menye, eye nye hã mele mia me.
"At that day you shall understand that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 Ame si wɔna ɖe nye nyawo dzi la, eyae lɔ̃am. Ame si lɔ̃am la, Fofonye hã alɔ̃e, nye hã malɔ̃e, eye maɖe ɖokuinye afiae.”
"It is he who has my commands and obeys them that loves me; and he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him."
22 Yuda (menye Yuda Iskariɔt o, ke boŋ nusrɔ̃la bubu), biae be, “Aƒetɔ, nu ka ta wònye mí nusrɔ̃lawo ko nèle ɖokuiwo ɖe ge afia, ke menye xexea me katã o?”
"How is it, Lord," said Judas (not Iscariot) "that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?"
23 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame si lɔ̃m la awɔ ɖe nye nufiafia dzi. Fofonye hã alɔ̃e, eye nye kple Fofonye míava egbɔ, eye míawɔ nɔƒe ɖe egbɔ.
Jesus replied."If any loves me he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Ame si melɔ̃m o la mawɔ ɖe nye nufiafia dzi o. Nya siwo miese la, menye nye ŋutɔ tɔ o; Fofonye, ame si dɔm la ƒe nyawoe.
"He that loves me not does not obey words, and yet the words to which you are listening are not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 “Mele nya siawo gblɔm na mi fifia esi megale mia gbɔ.
"All this I told you while still with you.
26 Ke Nyaxɔɖeakɔla, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe si Fofo la adɔ ɖo ɖa le nye ŋkɔ me la afia nu geɖewo mi, eye wòaɖo ŋku nu siwo katã mefia mi la dzi na mi.
"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance everything that I have told you.
27 Mele ŋutifafa gblẽm ɖi na mi. Nye ŋutifafa metsɔ na mi. Menye xexea me tɔ ƒomevi o. Migana miaƒe dzi naʋuʋu nyanyanya o, eye migavɔ̃ o.
"Peace I leave with you. My own peace I give to you. It is not the world’s ‘Peace’ I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 “Miese megblɔ be, ‘Madzo eye magatrɔ agbɔ va mia gbɔ.’ Ne mielɔ̃m la, dzi adzɔ mi be mele dzodzom yina ɖe Fofo la gbɔ, elabena Fofo la lolo wum.
"You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, and yet I am coming to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad because I said ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my Father is greater than I.
29 Megblɔ nya siawo na mi hafi woava dzɔ, ale be ne wova dzɔ la, ne miaxɔ wo dzi ase.
"And now I tell you this before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 Nyemagaƒo nu na mi fũu o, elabena xexe sia me dziɖula le mɔ dzi gbɔna. Mekpɔ ŋusẽ ɖe dzinye o,
"I shall not talk with you much more, for the Prince of this world is coming.
31 gake ele be xexea me nanyae be melɔ̃ Fofo la eye be mewɔa nu si tututu Fofo la ɖo nam be mawɔ. “Azɔ, miva mídzo.
"He has nothing in me, but in his coming the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do just as the Father commanded. Rise, let us be going!"
