Jan 16
1 Mwen di nou sa pou nou pa dekouraje lè sa rive.
“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.
2 Y'a mete nou deyò nan sinagòg yo. Yon lè, moun k'ap touye nou yo va met nan tèt yo se sèvis y'ap rann Bondye lè yo fè sa.
They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
3 Y'ap fè tou sa paske yo pa konnen ni Papa a ni mwen menm.
They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
4 Men, mwen di nou sa, se pou lè lè a va rive pou yo fè nou sa nou ka chonje mwen te di nou sa. Mwen pa t' di nou tou sa anvan, paske mwen te la avèk nou.
But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 Men koulye a, mwen pral jwenn moun ki te voye m' lan, epi nou yonn pa mande m' kote m' prale?
But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Men, paske mwen pale konsa ak nou, kè nou kase.
But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Men, m'ap di nou laverite: li pi bon pou nou si m' ale. Paske, si m' pa ale, moun ki gen pou vin ankouraje nou an p'ap vin jwenn nou. Men, lè m' ale, m'a voye l' ban nou.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8 Li menm, lè la vini, la moutre moun lemonn yo jan yo nan lerè sou keksyon peche, sou keksyon sa ki dwat devan Bondye, sou keksyon jijman Bondye.
When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
9 Yo nan lerè sou keksyon peche a, paske yo pa mete konfyans yo nan mwen.
about sin, because they don’t believe in me;
10 Yo nan lerè sou keksyon sa ki dwat devan Bondye, paske mwen pral jwenn Papa a, nou p'ap wè m' ankò.
about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
11 Yo nan lerè sou keksyon jijman Bondye a, paske chèf k'ap dominen lemonn lan fin jije deja.
about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12 Mwen gen anpil lòt bagay ankò pou m' di nou, men nou pa ka konprann yo koulye a.
“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.
13 Men, li menm Lespri k'ap moutre verite a, lè la vini, la mennen nou nan tout verite a. Paske li p'ap pale pawòl pa li. Men, tou sa la tande, se sa la di nou: la fè nou konnen bagay ki gen pou rive.
However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
14 Li pral fè yo wè pouvwa mwen, paske la pran sa ki pou mwen pou l' fè nou konnen yo.
He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.
15 Tou sa ki pou Papa a se pou mwen yo ye tou. Se poutèt sa mwen di nou la pran sa ki pou mwen pou l' fè nou konnen yo.
All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.
16 Talè konsa nou p'ap wè m'; talè konsa n'a wè m' ankò.
“A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”
17 Kèk disip li yo pran pale, yonn t'ap di lòt: Sa sa vle di sa l'ap di nou la a: Talè konsa nou p'ap wè m', talè konsa n'a wè m' ankò? Sa l' vle di la a: Paske mwen pral jwenn Papa a?
Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”
18 Kisa sa vle di menm: Talè konsa? Nou pa konprann sa l' vle di.
They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”
19 Jezi menm te konnen yo te vle poze l' keksyon. Li di yo: Mwen di nou: Talè konsa nou p'ap wè m', talè konsa tou n'a wè m' ankò. Eske se sou sa nou yonn ap poze lòt keksyon an?
Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’?
20 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: nou pral kriye, nou pral plenn, men moun k'ap viv dapre prensip ki nan lemonn yo pral kontan. Nou pral gen lapenn, men lapenn nou pral tounen kè kontan.
Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
21 Lè yon fanm gen tranche, kè l' sere, paske lè a rive pou l' soufri. Men, lè pitit la fin fèt, li bliye tout soufrans li yo tèlman li kontan dapre yon lòt timoun vin sou latè.
A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
22 Konsa tou, koulye a nou nan lapenn. Men, mwen gen pou m' wè nou ankò. Lè sa a, kè nou pral kontan, pesonn p'ap ka wete kontantman sa a nan kè nou.
Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
23 Jou sa a, nou p'ap poze m' keksyon sou anyen. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: nenpòt bagay nou mande Papa a nan non mwen, la ban nou li.
“In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24 Jouk koulye a, nou poko mande anyen nan non mwen. Mande, n'a jwenn pou nou ka kontan nèt ale.
Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
25 Mwen di nou tou sa an parabòl. Yon lè, mwen p'ap bezwen pale an parabòl ak nou ankò, men m'ap pale nou kareman sou Papa a.
“I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 Jou sa a, n'a mande Papa a sa nou vle nan non mwen, mwen pa di m'ap lapriyè Papa a pou nou,
In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,
27 paske Papa a li menm, li renmen nou. Li renmen nou paske nou renmen m', paske nou kwè mwen soti nan Papa a.
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.
28 Mwen soti nan Papa a, mwen vin sou latè. Koulye a, m'ap wete kò m' sou latè a, mwen pral jwenn Papa a.
I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”
29 Disip yo di li: Se koulye a w'ap pale kare. Ou pa pale an parabòl.
His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.
30 Koulye a nou konnen ou konn tout bagay. Ou pa bezwen pesonn mande ou anyen. Se poutèt sa nou kwè ou soti nan Bondye.
Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”
31 Jezi reponn yo: Nou sèten nou kwè koulye a?
Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
32 Gade, lè a ap rive, li rive deja, kote nou pral gaye, chak moun pral kouri bò pa yo: nou pral kite m' pou kont mwen. Men, mwen pa pou kont mwen, paske Papa a la avèk mwen.
Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 Mwen pale konsa pou nou kapab gen kè poze nan mwen. Nou gen pou n' soufri anpil sou latè. Men, pran kouraj, lemonn deja pèdi devan mwen.
I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
