1 “Ka obi ghara ịlọ unu mmiri. Kwerenụ na Chineke; kwerekwanụ na m.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.
2 Nʼụlọ Nna m, e nwere ọtụtụ ebe obibi. Ọ bụrụ na o sighị otu a dịrị, agaara m agwa unu na m na-aga kwadoro unu ebe obibi?
In my Father’s house there are many rooms If it were not so, would I have told you that I went to prepare a place for you?
3 Ọ bụrụ na m agaa dozichara unu ebe obibi, aga m alọghachi bịa kpọrọ unu, ka ebe m nọ bụrụkwa ebe unu ga-anọ.
I will return and will take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be also.
4 Unu maara ụzọ ebe m na-aga.”
And the way is known to you all, where I am going."
5 Tọmọs sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, anyị amaghị ebe ị na-aga, olee otu anyị ga-esi mata ụzọ ya?”
"We do not know where you are going Lord," said Thomas, "so how can we know the way?"
6 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Mụ onwe m bụ ụzọ, na eziokwu, na ndụ. O nweghị onye na-abịakwute Nna m ma ọ bụghị site na m.
Jesus answered him. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man ever comes to the Father but by me.
7 Ọ bụrụ na unu maara onye m bụ, unu gaara amatakwa Nna m. Site ugbu a, unu amatala ya. Ma hụkwa ya.”
If you had known me, you would have known my Father too; from now on you know him and have seen him."
8 Filip sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, zi anyị Nna ahụ, afọ ga-ejukwa anyị.”
"Lord," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father, and we shall be satisfied."
9 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ọtụtụ oge ndị a mụ na unu nọrọ ọ bụ na ị matabeghị onye m bụ, Filip? Onye ọbụla hụrụ m ahụla Nna. Olee otu i si asị, ‘zi anyị Nna ahụ?’
"Have I been so long among you, and yet you, Philip, have you not recognized me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Cause us to see the Father’?
10 Ọ bụ na i kweghị na m nọ nʼime Nna, na Nna nọkwa nʼime m? Okwu niile m na-agwa unu esitekwaghị nʼebe m nọ pụta, kama ọ bụ Nna bi nʼime m na-arụ ọrụ ya.
"Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not of myself; but the Father, who ever dwells in me, is doing his own work.
11 Kwere ihe m kwuru na anọ m nʼime Nna, na Nna nọkwa nʼime m. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, kwerenụ nʼihi ọrụ ebube ndị a.
"Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very words’ sake.
12 Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, onye ọbụla kwere na m ga-arụ ọrụ ndị m rụrụ, rụọkwa ọrụ karịrị ndị a, nʼihi na m na-alakwuru Nna m.
"I tell you solemnly that he who trusts in me shall himself do the works that I am doing; and still greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 Ihe ọbụla unu ga-arịọ site nʼaha m, aga m enye unu ya, ka e nwe ike nye Nna ahụ otuto site nʼỌkpara ya.
"And whatever’ you ask in my name I will do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Ihe ọbụla unu rịọrọ nʼaha m, aga m eme ya.
"If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “Ọ bụrụ na unu hụrụ m nʼanya unu ga-edebe iwu m niile.
"If you love me, you will obey my commandments,
16 Aga m arịọ Nna m, ọ ga-enye unu Onye Nkasiobi ọzọ, onye ga-enyere unu aka ma nọnyekwara unu ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
"and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you forever, (aiōn g165)
17 Onye bụ Mmụọ nke eziokwu. Ndị bi nʼụwa agaghị anabata ya, nʼihi na ha adịghị ahụ ya anya, ha amakwaghị ya. Ma unu maara ya nʼihi na unu na ya nọ, o bikwa nʼime unu.
"the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot receive him because it does not see him nor know him, but you know him, for he is ever with you and within you.
18 Agaghị m ahapụ unu dị ka ndị na-enweghị nne na nna. Aga m abịakwute unu.
"I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
19 Mgbe na-adịghị anya, ụwa agaghị ahụkwa m anya. Ma unu ga-ahụ m anya. Nʼihi na m dị ndụ, unu ga-adịkwa ndụ.
"Yet a little while and the world shall see me no more, but you shall see me; because I live, you, too, shall live.
20 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, unu ga-amata na m nọ nʼime Nna m na unu nọ nʼime m, na mụ onwe m nọkwa nʼime unu.
"At that day you shall understand that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 Onye ọbụla nabatara iwu m ma na-edebekwa ha bụ onye hụrụ m nʼanya. Onye hụrụ m nʼanya ka Nna m ga-ahụ nʼanya. Aga m ahụkwa ya nʼanya gosikwa ya onwe m.”
"It is he who has my commands and obeys them that loves me; and he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him."
22 Judas (ọ bụghị Iskarịọt) sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, olee otu ị ga-esi gosi anyị onwe gị ma hapụ igosi ụwa onwe gị?”
"How is it, Lord," said Judas (not Iscariot) "that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?"
23 Jisọs zara sị ya, “Onye ọbụla hụrụ m nʼanya, ga-edebe okwu m. Nna m ga-ahụkwa ya nʼanya. Mụ na Nna m ga-abịakwa nʼebe onye ahụ nọ soro ya biri.
Jesus replied."If any loves me he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Onye na-ahụghị m nʼanya agaghị edebe okwu m. Okwu ndị a niile unu nụrụ abụghị nke m. Ha bụ nke Nna ahụ, onye zitere m.
"He that loves me not does not obey words, and yet the words to which you are listening are not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 “Agwala m unu ihe ndị a niile ugbu a mụ na unu nọ.
"All this I told you while still with you.
26 Ma Onye Nkasiobi ahụ bụ Mmụọ Nsọ, onye Nna m ga-ezite nʼaha m, ga-akụziri unu ihe niile, ọ ga-echetakwara unu ihe niile m gwara unu.
"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance everything that I have told you.
27 Udo ka m na-ahapụrụ unu. Udo m ka m na-enyekwa unu. Ọ bụghị dị ka ụwa si enye ka m na-enye unu. Unu ekwela ka obi lọọ unu mmiri, ka ụjọ hapụkwa ịtụ unu.
"Peace I leave with you. My own peace I give to you. It is not the world’s ‘Peace’ I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 “Unu anụla na m gwara unu, ‘Ana m ala, ma lọghachikwutekwa unu.’ Ọ bụrụ na unu hụrụ m nʼanya, unu gaara aṅụrị ọṅụ na m na-alakwuru Nna, nʼihi na Nna dị ukwuu karịa m.
"You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, and yet I am coming to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad because I said ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my Father is greater than I.
29 Ugbu a, agwala m unu ihe a tupu o mezuo, ka ọ ga-abụ mgbe o mezuru, unu enwee ike kwere.
"And now I tell you this before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 Agaghị m agwa unu ọtụtụ okwu ọzọ nʼihi na eze na-achị ụwa a na-abịa. O nwekwaghị ike ọbụla nʼebe m nọ.
"I shall not talk with you much more, for the Prince of this world is coming.
31 Ana m eme dịka Nna m nyere m nʼiwu, ka ụwa mara na m hụrụ Nna m nʼanya. “Bilienụ ugbu a ka anyị si ebe a pụọ.
"He has nothing in me, but in his coming the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do just as the Father commanded. Rise, let us be going!"
