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. Believe in God; believe also in me.
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, 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.
So when I go, it is to prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.
4 Mienya afi si meyina la xoxo, eye mienya mɔ la hã.”
You know where I am going, and you know the way.”
5 Toma gblɔ nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, Aƒetɔ, mienya afi si nèyina o, aleke wɔ miate ŋu anya mɔ la?”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where yoʋ are going, 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 said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except 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 you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Filipo gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, fia Fofo la mí ekema míaƒe dzi adze eme.”
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for 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 said to him, “Have I been with you for so long and still yoʋ do not know me, Philip? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can yoʋ say, ‘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.
Do yoʋ not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who abides in me does 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 is in me; but if not, believe me because of the works themselves.
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.
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do. He will even do 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.
Whatever you ask in my name, I will do so 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 me anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “Ne mielɔ̃am la, miawɔ nye sewo dzi.
“If you love me, keep 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 ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to abide 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, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he abides with you and will be in you.
18 Nye la, nyemagblẽ mi ɖi abe tsyɔ̃eviwo ene o, matrɔ ava mia gbɔ.
“I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming back 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 will see me no longer, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 Gbe ma gbe la, mianya be mele Fofo la me, eye miawo miele menye, eye nye hã mele mia me.
On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am 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.”
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and 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?”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that yoʋ are about to manifest yoʋrself 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 answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. 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.
Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 “Mele nya siawo gblɔm na mi fifia esi megale mia gbɔ.
“I have said these things to you while abiding 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 Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of everything 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 peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them 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 say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ because my Father is greater than I am.
29 Megblɔ nya siawo na mi hafi woava dzɔ, ale be ne wova dzɔ la, ne miaxɔ wo dzi ase.
I have told you now 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 will not talk with you much longer, for the ruler of the world is coming, but he has no power over me.
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.
Rather, I do just as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
