Κατα Ιωαννην 16
1 ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα μη σκανδαλισθητε
I have spoken to you in this way so that you may not falter.
2 αποσυναγωγους ποιησουσιν υμας αλλ ερχεται ωρα ινα πας ο αποκτεινας {VAR1: [υμας] } {VAR2: υμας } δοξη λατρειαν προσφερειν τω θεω
They will expel you from their Synagogues; indeed the time is coming when any one who kills you will think that he is making an offering to God.
3 και ταυτα ποιησουσιν οτι ουκ εγνωσαν τον πατερα ουδε εμε
They will do this, because they have not learned to know the Father, or even me.
4 αλλα ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα οταν ελθη η ωρα αυτων μνημονευητε αυτων οτι εγω ειπον υμιν ταυτα δε υμιν εξ αρχης ουκ ειπον οτι μεθ υμων ημην
But I have spoken to you of these things that, when the time for them comes, you may remember that I told you about them myself.
5 νυν δε υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με και ουδεις εξ υμων ερωτα με που υπαγεις
I did not tell you all this at first, because I was with you. But now I am to return to him who sent me; and yet not one of you asks me — ‘Where are you going?’
6 αλλ οτι ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν η λυπη πεπληρωκεν υμων την καρδιαν
Although your hearts are full of sorrow at all that I have been saying to you.
7 αλλ εγω την αληθειαν λεγω υμιν συμφερει υμιν ινα εγω απελθω εαν γαρ μη απελθω ο παρακλητος {VAR1: ου μη ελθη } {VAR2: ουκ ελευσεται } προς υμας εαν δε πορευθω πεμψω αυτον προς υμας
Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the Helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.
8 και ελθων εκεινος ελεγξει τον κοσμον περι αμαρτιας και περι δικαιοσυνης και περι κρισεως
And he, when he comes, will bring conviction to the world as to Sin, and as to Righteousness, and as to Judgment;
9 περι αμαρτιας μεν οτι ου πιστευουσιν εις εμε
as to Sin, for men do not believe in me;
10 περι δικαιοσυνης δε οτι προς τον πατερα υπαγω και ουκετι θεωρειτε με
as to Righteousness, for I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
11 περι δε κρισεως οτι ο αρχων του κοσμου τουτου κεκριται
as to Judgment, for the Spirit that is ruling this world has been condemned.
12 ετι πολλα εχω υμιν λεγειν αλλ ου δυνασθε βασταζειν αρτι
I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.
13 οταν δε ελθη εκεινος το πνευμα της αληθειας οδηγησει υμας {VAR1: εις την αληθειαν πασαν } {VAR2: εν τη αληθεια παση } ου γαρ λαλησει αφ εαυτου αλλ οσα {VAR1: ακουει } {VAR2: ακουσει } λαλησει και τα ερχομενα αναγγελει υμιν
Yet when he — The Spirit of Truth — comes, he will guide you into all Truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of all that he hears; and he will tell you of the things that are to come.
14 εκεινος εμε δοξασει οτι εκ του εμου λημψεται και αναγγελει υμιν
He will honour me; because he will take of what is mine, and will tell it to you.
15 παντα οσα εχει ο πατηρ εμα εστιν δια τουτο ειπον οτι εκ του εμου λαμβανει και αναγγελει υμιν
Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes of what is mine, and will tell it to you.
16 μικρον και ουκετι θεωρειτε με και παλιν μικρον και οψεσθε με
In a little while you will no longer see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed.”
17 ειπαν ουν εκ των μαθητων αυτου προς αλληλους τι εστιν τουτο ο λεγει ημιν μικρον και ου θεωρειτε με και παλιν μικρον και οψεσθε με και οτι υπαγω προς τον πατερα
At this some of his disciples said to one another: “What does he mean by saying to us ‘In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed’; and by saying ‘Because I am going to the Father’?
18 ελεγον ουν τι εστιν τουτο {VAR1: ο λεγει } {VAR2: [ο λεγει] το } μικρον ουκ οιδαμεν {VAR1: [τι λαλει] } {VAR2: τι λαλει }
What does he mean by ‘In a little while’?” they said; “we do not know what he is speaking about.”
19 εγνω {VAR2: [ο] } ιησους οτι ηθελον αυτον ερωταν και ειπεν αυτοις περι τουτου ζητειτε μετ αλληλων οτι ειπον μικρον και ου θεωρειτε με και παλιν μικρον και οψεσθε με
Jesus saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said: “Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying ‘In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed’?
20 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι κλαυσετε και θρηνησετε υμεις ο δε κοσμος χαρησεται υμεις λυπηθησεσθε αλλ η λυπη υμων εις χαραν γενησεται
In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain shall turn to joy.
21 η γυνη οταν τικτη λυπην εχει οτι ηλθεν η ωρα αυτης οταν δε γεννηση το παιδιον ουκετι μνημονευει της θλιψεως δια την χαραν οτι εγεννηθη ανθρωπος εις τον κοσμον
A woman in labour is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a man has been born into the world.
22 και υμεις ουν νυν μεν λυπην εχετε παλιν δε οψομαι υμας και χαρησεται υμων η καρδια και την χαραν υμων ουδεις {VAR1: αρει } {VAR2: αιρει } αφ υμων
You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I shall see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.
23 και εν εκεινη τη ημερα εμε ουκ ερωτησετε ουδεν αμην αμην λεγω υμιν αν τι αιτησητε τον πατερα {VAR1: δωσει υμιν εν τω ονοματι μου } {VAR2: εν τω ονοματι μου δωσει υμιν }
And at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my Name.
24 εως αρτι ουκ ητησατε ουδεν εν τω ονοματι μου αιτειτε και λημψεσθε ινα η χαρα υμων η πεπληρωμενη
So far you have not asked for anything, in my Name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
25 ταυτα εν παροιμιαις λελαληκα υμιν ερχεται ωρα οτε ουκετι εν παροιμιαις λαλησω υμιν αλλα παρρησια περι του πατρος απαγγελω υμιν
I have spoken to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I shall not speak any longer to you in figures, but shall tell you about the Father plainly.
26 εν εκεινη τη ημερα εν τω ονοματι μου αιτησεσθε και ου λεγω υμιν οτι εγω ερωτησω τον πατερα περι υμων
You will ask, at that time, in my Name; and I do not say that I will intercede with the Father for you;
27 αυτος γαρ ο πατηρ φιλει υμας οτι υμεις εμε πεφιληκατε και πεπιστευκατε οτι εγω παρα {VAR1: του πατρος } {VAR2: [του] θεου } εξηλθον
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.
28 εξηλθον {VAR1: εκ } {VAR2: παρα } του πατρος και εληλυθα εις τον κοσμον παλιν αφιημι τον κοσμον και πορευομαι προς τον πατερα
I came out from the Father, and have come into the world; and now I am to leave the world, and go to the Father.”
29 λεγουσιν οι μαθηται αυτου ιδε νυν εν παρρησια λαλεις και παροιμιαν ουδεμιαν λεγεις
“At last,” exclaimed the disciples, “you are using plain words and not speaking in figures at all.
30 νυν οιδαμεν οτι οιδας παντα και ου χρειαν εχεις ινα τις σε ερωτα εν τουτω πιστευομεν οτι απο θεου εξηλθες
Now we are sure that you know everything, and need not wait for any one to question you. This makes us believe that you did come from God.”
31 απεκριθη αυτοις ιησους αρτι πιστευετε
“Do you believe that already?” Jesus answered.
32 ιδου ερχεται ωρα και εληλυθεν ινα σκορπισθητε εκαστος εις τα ιδια καμε μονον αφητε και ουκ ειμι μονος οτι ο πατηρ μετ εμου εστιν
“Listen! a time is coming — indeed it has already come — when you are to be scattered, each going his own way, and to leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα εν εμοι ειρηνην εχητε εν τω κοσμω θλιψιν εχετε αλλα θαρσειτε εγω νενικηκα τον κοσμον
I have spoken to you in this way, so that in me you may find peace. In the world you will find trouble; yet, take courage! I have conquered the world.”
