< 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 heart be troubled: Believe on God, and, on me, believe.
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 the house of my Father, are, many dwellings; or else I would have told you, I go 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.
And, if I go, and prepare a place for you, again, am I coming, and will take you home unto—myself, that, where, I, am, ye also, may be.
4 Mienya afi si meyina la xoxo, eye mienya mɔ la hã.”
And, whither, I, go, ye know, the way.
5 Toma gblɔ nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, Aƒetɔ, mienya afi si nèyina o, aleke wɔ miate ŋu anya mɔ la?”
Thomas saith unto him—Lord! we know not whither thou goest: How know we, 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 saith unto him—I, am the way, and the truth, and the life: No one, cometh unto the Father, but through 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 ye had been getting to know me, my Father also, had ye known: from henceforth, are ye getting to know him, and have seen him.
8 Filipo gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, fia Fofo la mí ekema míaƒe dzi adze eme.”
Philip saith unto him—Lord! show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
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?’
Jesus saith unto him—So long a time as this, have I been, with you, —and thou hast not come to know me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. How art, thou, saying, Show us 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.
Believest thou not, that, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, is, in me? The things which I am saying unto you, from myself, I speak not; but, the Father, within me abiding, doeth his works.
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, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; —or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.
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.
Verily, verily, I say unto you—He that believeth on me, the works which, I, am doing, he also, shall do; and, greater than these, shall he do, because, I, unto the Father, am going, —
13 Mawɔ nu sia nu si miabia le nye ŋkɔ dzi la na mi ale be Vi la nakɔ Fofo la ŋuti.
And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, will I do, that, the Father, may be glorified, in the Son:
14 Ne miebia nane to nye ŋkɔ dzi ko la, mawɔe na mi.
If anything ye shall ask [me] in my name, the same, will I do.
15 “Ne mielɔ̃am la, miawɔ nye sewo dzi.
If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep;
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 )
And, I, will request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will he give unto you, that he may be with you age-abidingly, (aiōn )
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, —which, the world, cannot receive, because it beholdeth it not, nor getteth to know it. But, ye, are getting to know it; because, with you, it abideth, and, in you, it is.
18 Nye la, nyemagblẽ mi ɖi abe tsyɔ̃eviwo ene o, matrɔ ava mia gbɔ.
I will not leave you bereft, —I am coming unto 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, and, the world, no longer beholdeth me; but, ye, behold me, —Because, I, live, ye also, shall live.
20 Gbe ma gbe la, mianya be mele Fofo la me, eye miawo miele menye, eye nye hã mele mia me.
In that day, shall ye get to know, That, I, am in my Father, and, ye, 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.”
He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he, it is that loveth me; and, he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto 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?”
Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him—Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto 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 answered, and said unto him—If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him, —and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make.
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 loveth me not, doth not keep, my word; —and, the word which ye hear, is not mine, but, the Father’s who sent me.
25 “Mele nya siawo gblɔm na mi fifia esi megale mia gbɔ.
These things, have I spoken unto you, With you abiding;
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 Advocate, The Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He, will teach you all things, and will put you in mind, of all things which, I, 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, give, I, unto you, —Not as, the world, giveth, give, I, unto 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.
Ye heard that, I, said unto you—I go my way, and I come unto you, —Had ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I am going unto the Father, for, the 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.
But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye may believe.
30 Nyemagaƒo nu na mi fũu o, elabena xexe sia me dziɖula le mɔ dzi gbɔna. Mekpɔ ŋusẽ ɖe dzinye o,
No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world’s ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing, —
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.
But, that the world may get to know that I love the Father, and just as the Father hath given me commandment, so, I do. Be rousing yourselves! let us be leading on from hence.
