Johana 16
1 “Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio mothe nĩgeetha mũtikanae gũtiganĩria wĩtĩkio.
I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.
2 Nĩmakamũingata thunagogi-inĩ; na ũhoro wa ma nĩ atĩ, kũrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgũũka rĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe ũkaamũũraga ageciiragia atĩ nĩ Ngai aratungatĩra.
They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.
3 Mageekaga maũndũ macio nĩ ũndũ matimenyete Baba o na kana makaamenya.
They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.
4 Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio nĩgeetha hĩndĩ ĩyo yakinya mũkaaririkana atĩ nĩndamwĩrĩte. Ndiamwĩrire maũndũ macio kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ tondũ ndaarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.
I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.
5 “Rĩu nĩngũthiĩ kũrĩ ũrĩa wandũmire. No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũranjũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrathiĩ kũ?’
But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?
6 Mwaiyũrwo nĩ kĩeha nĩ tondũ nĩndamwĩra maũndũ macio.
But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.
7 No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩ kwagĩrĩire niĩ thiĩ nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Tondũ ndaaga gũthiĩ, Mũteithia ndagooka kũrĩ inyuĩ. No ndaathiĩ, nĩngamũtũma oke kũrĩ inyuĩ.
But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 Nake oka, nĩakaiguithia andũ a gũkũ thĩ ũrĩa mahĩtĩtie ũhoro-inĩ wa mehia, na ũhoro-inĩ wa ũthingu, o na ũhoro-inĩ wa ciira:
And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:
9 Nĩmahĩtĩtie ũhoro-inĩ wa mehia, nĩgũkorwo andũ matinjĩtĩkĩtie;
Of sin, because they have not faith in me;
10 nĩmahĩtĩtie ũhoro-inĩ wa ũthingu, nĩgũkorwo ndĩrathiĩ kũrĩ Baba kũrĩa mũtangĩcooka kũnyona;
Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;
11 na nĩmahĩtĩtie ũhoro-inĩ wa ciira tondũ mũnene wa gũkũ thĩ nĩarĩkĩtie gũtuĩrwo ciira.
Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 “Ndĩ na maũndũ mangĩ maingĩ ma kũmwĩra, makĩria ya marĩa mũngĩhota kũũmĩrĩria rĩu.
I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.
13 No rĩrĩ, Roho Mũtheru ũcio wa ma oka, nĩakamũtongoria ũhoro-inĩ ũrĩa wa ma wothe. Ndakaaragia ũhoro wake mwene; akaaragia ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa aiguĩte, ningĩ nĩakamwĩra ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa magooka thuutha.
However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.
14 Nĩakangoocithia nĩgũkorwo nĩakamũmenyithia ũhoro wakwa ũrĩa arutĩte kuuma kũrĩ niĩ.
He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.
15 Maũndũ mothe ma Baba nĩ makwa. Nĩkĩo ndamwĩra atĩ Roho nĩakamũmenyithia ũhoro wakwa ũrĩa arutĩte kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, mũũmenye.
Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.
16 “Thuutha wa kahinda kanini mũtikũnyona rĩngĩ na ningĩ thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩmũkũnyona.”
After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.
17 Amwe a arutwo ake makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Arenda kuuga atĩa rĩrĩa aroiga atĩ, ‘Thuutha wa kahinda kanini mũtikũnyona rĩngĩ na ningĩ atĩ thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩmũkũnyona’, ningĩ atĩ ‘Tondũ ndĩrathiĩ kũrĩ Baba?’”
So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?
18 Magĩthiĩ na mbere kũũrania atĩrĩ, “Arenda kuuga atĩa rĩrĩa aroiga atĩ, ‘Kahinda kanini’? Ithuĩ tũtiramenya ũrĩa aroiga.”
So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.
19 Nake Jesũ akĩona atĩ nĩmendaga kũmũũria ũhoro ũcio, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũũrania mũrorania ũrĩa ngwendaga kuuga rĩrĩa njugire atĩ ‘Thuutha wa kahinda kanini mũtikũnyona rĩngĩ, na ningĩ thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩmũkũnyona’?
Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?
20 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũkaarĩra na mũcakae rĩrĩa andũ a thĩ marakena. Inyuĩ mũkanyiitwo nĩ kĩeha, no kĩeha, kĩanyu nĩgĩkagarũrũka gĩtuĩke gĩkeno.
Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
21 Mũndũ-wa-nja agĩciara nĩakoragwo na ruo tondũ hĩndĩ yake nĩ nginyu; no aarĩkia gũciara kaana, akariganĩrwo nĩ ruo nĩ ũndũ wa gũkena nĩgũkorwo kaana nĩ gaaciarwo gũkũ thĩ.
When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.
22 O na inyuĩ noguo: Rĩu nĩ ihinda rĩanyu rĩa kĩeha, no nĩngamuona rĩngĩ na nĩmũgakena, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũkaamũtunya gĩkeno kĩu.
So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.
23 Mũthenya ũcio wakinya mũtigacooka kũnjũũria ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Baba nĩakamũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe mũkaahooya thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
24 Nginyagia rĩu mũtirĩ mwahooya ũndũ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Hooyai na nĩmũkũheo, nĩguo gĩkeno kĩanyu gĩkinyanĩre.
Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.
25 “O na gũtuĩka ngoretwo ngĩaria na ngerekano-rĩ, hĩndĩ nĩĩroka rĩrĩa itagacooka kũmwarĩria na njĩra ĩyo, no ngaamwĩraga ũhoro wa Baba itekũhithĩrĩra.
All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.
26 Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũkahooyaga thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Ndiroiga atĩ nĩngahooyaga Baba ithenya rĩanyu.
In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,
27 No rĩrĩ, Baba we mwene nĩamwendete, nĩgũkorwo inyuĩ nĩmũnyendete, na nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ ndoimire kũrĩ Ngai.
For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.
28 Niĩ ndoimire kũrĩ Baba, ngĩũka gũkũ thĩ; na rĩu nĩnguuma gũkũ thĩ, njooke kũrĩ Baba.”
I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.
29 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo a Jesũ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩũratũhe ũhoro wega, ũtekwaria na ngerekano.
His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.
30 Rĩu nĩtwamenya atĩ wee nĩũũĩ maũndũ mothe, na atĩ o na ndũbataire mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ akũũrie ciũria. Ũhoro ũcio nĩwatũma twĩtĩkie atĩ woimĩte kũrĩ Ngai.”
Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.
31 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩmwetĩkia!
Jesus made answer, Have you faith now?
32 No hĩndĩ nĩĩroka, na nĩnginyu, rĩrĩa mũkahurunjũka, o mũndũ athiĩ gwake mũciĩ. Mũkaandiga ndĩ nyiki, no ndirĩ nyiki, nĩgũkorwo Baba arĩ hamwe na niĩ.
See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.
33 “Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio nĩgeetha mũgĩe na thayũ thĩinĩ wakwa. Gũkũ thĩ nĩmũrĩonaga thĩĩna. No ũmĩrĩriai! Niĩ nĩndooretie thĩ.”
I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
