Jan 16
1 “Mwen pale nou bagay sa yo pou nou kapab evite chite.
“I have told you these things so that you may be kept from stumbling.
2 “Yo va mete nou deyò nan sinagòg la, epi lè a ap vini ke y ap konprann ke se yon sèvis yo rann Bondye lè yo touye nou.
They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that they are serving God.
3 Bagay sa yo, yo va fè paske yo pa t janm konnen Papa a, ni Mwen.
They will do these things to you because they haven’t known the Father nor me.
4 Men bagay sa yo Mwen te pale nou an pou lè lè a rive, nou va sonje ke M te di nou sa. Epi bagay sa yo Mwen pa t di nou nan kòmansman, paske Mwen te avèk nou.
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 at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 “Men koulye a, M ap prale a Sila a ki te voye Mwen an. E pa gen nan nou k ap mande M: ‘Kibò W ap prale’?
“Now I am going to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Men akoz ke M te di nou bagay sa yo, gwo doulè antre nan kè nou.
Instead, because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 “Men Mwen di nou laverite se nan lavantaj pa nou ke M ap prale. Paske si M pa ale, Konseye a p ap vin kote nou, men si M ale, M ap voye Li bay nou.
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it’s to your advantage that I go away; because if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
8 E Li, lè L vini, L ap konvenk lemonn konsènan peche, ladwati, ak jijman.
When He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Konsènan peche, paske yo pa kwè nan Mwen,
of sin, because they don’t believe in me;
10 Selon ladwati, paske Mwen ale nan Papa a, e nou p ap ka wè M ankò.
of righteousness, because I go to my Father and you see me no more;
11 Epi selon jijman, paske Mèt mond sa a gen tan jije.
and of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “Mwen gen anpil bagay anplis pou M ta di nou, men nou p ap kab sipòte yo koulye a.
“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.
13 Men lè Li, Lespri verite a vini, Li va dirije nou nan tout verite. Paske Li p ap pale pou kont Li, men sa Li tande, L ap pale. Li va montre nou tout sa ki va vini.
However, when the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth. He won’t speak on His own, but whatever He hears He will speak. He will announce things to come.
14 Li va fè M resevwa glwa Mwen, paske l ap pran sa ki pou Mwen, e fè nou konprann li.
He will glorify me, because He will take from what is mine and reveal it to you.
15 “Tout bagay ke Papa a genyen se pou Mwen. Pou sa, Mwen di nou Li pran sa ki pou Mwen, e devwale li a nou.
Everything that the Father has is mine. That is why I said that He will take from what is mine and reveal it to you.
16 “Yon ti tan, e nou p ap wè M ankò, epi yon ti tan anplis, e nou va wè M.”
“In a little while, you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me again, because I go to the Father.”
17 Kèk nan disip Li yo te di youn a lòt: “Kisa L ap di nou la a? ‘Yon ti tan, e nou p ap wè M ankò, epi yon ti tan anplis e nou va wè M’ epi: ‘akoz ke M ap prale nan Papa a’?”
Then some of Jesus’ disciples said among themselves, “What does He mean by, ‘In a little while, and you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me, again;’ and, ‘because I go to the Father’?”
18 Konsa yo t ap di: “Kisa L ap pale: ‘Yon ti tan’? Nou pa konprann kisa L ap di.”
They kept asking, “What does He mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what He is saying.”
19 Jésus te konnen yo te vle kesyone L, epi Li te di yo: “Èske nou ap diskite pami nou sou sa ke M te di a: ‘Yon ti tan, e nou p ap wè M ankò, epi yon ti tan anplis, e nou va wè M?’
Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you asking yourselves about what I said, ‘In a little while, and you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me, again’?
20 “Anverite, anverite, Mwen di nou, ke nou va kriye avèk lamantasyon, men lemonn va rejwi. Nou va ranpli avèk tristès, men tristès la va vin chanje an jwa.
Most assuredly, I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will be sad, but your sadness will be turned into joy.
21 Lè yon fanm gen doulè nesans, li gen tristès, paske lè li rive, men lè l fin bay nesans a pitit la, li pa sonje soufrans lan ankò, akoz jwa ke yon pitit gen tan fèt nan lemonn.
A woman in labor is in pain because her time has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the baby, she forgets the agony, for joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 “Konsa, nou menm tou gen tristès koulye a. Men Mwen va wè nou ankò, e kè nou ap rejwi, e pèsòn p ap retire jwa nou ankò.
Therefore you have sorrow now, too, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and nobody will take your joy away from you.
23 “E nan jou sa a nou p ap menm poze M kesyon sou okenn choz. Anverite, anverite, Mwen di nou, si nou mande Papa a pou nenpòt bagay, L ap bay nou Li nan non Mwen.
“In that day you will ask me nothing. Most assuredly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
24 “Jis rive koulye a nou pa mande pou anyen nan non Mwen. Mande e nou va resevwa, pou jwa nou kapab vin ranpli.
Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
25 “Bagay sa yo Mwen pale nou an parabòl. Lè a ap vini lè M p ap pale avèk nou ankò an parabòl, men M ap pale nou byen klè konsènan Papa a.
“I’ve told you these things in figures of speech, but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 “Nan jou sa a nou va mande nan non Mwen, e Mwen p ap di nou ke M ap mande Papa a anfavè nou.
In that day you will ask in my name. I don’t tell you that I’ll ask the Father for you,
27 Paske Papa a Li menm, renmen nou paske nou renmen Mwen, e te kwè ke Mwen te sòti nan Papa a.
because the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
28 Mwen te sòti nan Papa a, e te vini nan lemonn. M ap kite lemonn ankò e ap prale kote Papa a.”
I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29 Disip Li yo te di: “Alò koulye a W ap pale klè. Ou p ap sèvi ak parabòl.
His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and not in figures of speech!
30 Koulye a nou konnen ke Ou konnen tout bagay, e pa bezwen moun mande Ou anyen. Akoz sa, nou kwè ke Ou soti nan Bondye.”
Now we are sure that You know everything, and don’t need anyone to question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”
31 Jésus te reponn yo: “Èske nou kwè koulye a?
Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
32 Veye byen, lè a ap vini, e gen tan vini deja, pou nou vin gaye, chak a pwòp kay li, e pou kite M sèl. Men M p ap sèl, paske Papa a toujou avè M.
The time is coming, and indeed, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 “Bagay sa yo Mwen pale nou, pou nan Mwen, nou kapab gen lapè. Nan lemonn nou gen tribilasyon, men pran kouraj. Mwen venk lemonn.”
I have told you these things so that you may have peace in me. You will have trouble in the world, but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
