Johani 16
1 “Ni ba wambi izi zintu kwenu chokuti kanji muzwi kwangu.
"I have told you all this so that you may not stumble.
2 Ka ba mi sohe mu ma sinagoge. kono inako i kezite i yo zumwi ni zumwi yo mi haya kahupule kuti u ha mutendo wa chitabelo kwe Ireeza.
"They will excommunicate you from their synagogues; indeed the time is coming when any one who kills you will suppose that he is doing God’s service.
3 Ka ba chite izo zintu chokuti kana ba bezibi Itayo kapa I me.
"And they will do these things because they have not known my Father, nor me.
4 Ni ba wambi izo zintu kwenu chokuti i nako ya bo ha i sika, ka muzeze kuti ni ba miwambili kuamana na bo. Kana ni ba miwambili kuamana nizo zintu kumatangilo chokuti ni bena nanwe.
"But I have told you these things, that when the time comes you may remember that I told you about them, myself. I did not, however, speak of these things at first, because I was with you.
5 Kono lyahanu ni kaya kwali ya ba ni tumi, nihaike kakwina kwenu ya ba ni buzi, “U kaya kuhi?'
"But now I go my way to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Kono chokuti ni bawambi izi zintu kwenu, kuswaba ku be zuli mwinkulo zenu.
"but sorrow has filled your hearts because I have told you these things.
7 Kono ni miwambila buniti: mo kube hande kwenu ha ni ya kungi. Mukuti heba ne ni sa yendi kungi, Muombaombi kete ne ze kwenu, kono ha ni yenda, Ka ni mutumine kwenu.
"Yet - I am telling you the truth - my going is for your good. For unless I go away the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart I will send him unto you.
8 Ha te neeze, Muombaombi ka tondeze inkanda ku ba ni mafosisa kuamana ni chibi, kuamana ni kuluka, ni kuamana ni nkatulo-
"And he, when he comes, will convict the world of sins and of righteousness and of judgment;
9 kuamana ni chibi, Chokuti ka ba zumini kwangu;
"of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 kuamana ni kuluka chokuti ni ka ya kwe Itayo, mi inwe ke te ne muzwile habusu ku ni bona;
11 mi kuamana ni nkatulo, chakuti mubusi we yunu inkanda cha ba atulwa kale.
"because the Prince of this world has been judged.
12 Ni na zintu zingi za kuwamba kwenwu, kono kete mu zi zuwisize hanu.
"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them just now.
13 Kono cwale iye, Luhuho lwe Niti, ha lwiza, ka lu mi etelele mu buniti bonse, chokuti kete ne lu liwambile kuzwililia kwali mwine. Kono kawambe chonse chete na zuwe, mi ka wambe kwenu chete ne chize.
"But when he is come, that Spirit of Truth, he will guide you into the whole truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but all that he hears he will speak, and will make known to you that which is to come.
14 Ka ni tembe, kakuli ka hinde ku zwilila ku zangu mi ka zi wambe kwenu.
"He will glorify me; for he will take of what is mine and will make known to you.
15 Chimwi ni chimwi chena na cho Tayo nji changu. Ni hakwina bulyo, Ni bawambi kuti Luhuho ka luhinde ku zwilila ku che chili changu mi ka mi wambile.
"Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he will take of what is mine and make it known to you.
16 Chakuya che nako i nfuhi kete ne mu ni bone, mi kwisule che nako i mwi i nfuhi ka mu ni bone.”
"In a little while you shall behold me no more; and again in a little while you shall see me, because I am going to the Father."
17 Kuzwaho bamwi ba balutwani ba kwe ni chi bati zumwi ku zumwi, “Chintunzi chi cha wamba kwetu, 'Che nako infuhi kete ne mu ni bone mi kwisule lye nako i mwi infuhi ka mu ni bone,' mi, 'Chokuti ni yenda kwe Itayo'?”
At this some of his disciples said among themselves. "What does he mean by telling us, ‘In a little while you shall behold me no more; and again in a little while you shall see me,’ and ‘because I am going to the Father’?"
18 Nihakwina bulyo ni chi bati, “Kanti chintunzi chi chawamba, 'I nako zana i nfuhi'? Katwizi cha kwete kuamana ni cha wamba.”
So they kept asking. "What does that ‘little while’ mean of which he speaks? We do not know what he is talking about."
19 Jesu ni cha bona kuti basaka ku mubuza, ni cha ti kubali, “I chi che mukwete kulibuza mukati kenu kuamana ni cha na wamba, 'I nako zana infuhi kete ne mu ni bone mi kwisule lye nako zana i mwi infuhi ka mu ni bone'?
Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and said. "Are you questioning one another about my saying, ‘A little while and you shall behold me no more, and again a little while you shall see me’?
20 Buniti, niti, ni wamba kwenu, ka mulile ni kusilisa, kono inkanda ka isange; kono nwe ka mu be ni ku wilwa kukando, kono ku swaba kwenu ka ku sanduke ku ba ni ntabo.
"I tell you solemnly that you will be weeping and wailing while the world is rejoicing; you will be grief-stricken, but your grief shall be turned into gladness.
21 Heba mwanakazi u puluha u ba ni kuwilwa chokuti inako ya kwe chi ya sika, kono ha mana kupuluha muchiche, ka chi hupuli kuchiswa kwakwe chebaka lye ntabo chakuti muntu wa pepwa munkanda.
"A woman in labor has grief because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the babe she no longer remembers her anguish, because of joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 Chobulyo mwina kuwilwa hanu, kono ka ni mibone hape, mi nkulo zenu ka zisange, mi ka kwina ya te na wole kuzwisa intabo yinu kwenu.
"So you also have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy shall no man snatch away from you.
23 Mwi zuba elyo ke te ne mu ni buze chimwi. Buniti, niti, ni wamba kwenu, haiba ne mukumbila chime kwa Tayo che zina lyangu, ka chi mihe.
"And in that day you will ask me no questions. Most solemnly I tell you that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
24 Kuhitila hanu ka mwini ku kumbila chimwi che zina lya ngu. Mukumbile, mi ka muamuhele chokuti kusanga kwenu ne ku izuzilizwe.
"Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 Ni bawambi e zi zintu kwenu cha makabisa puo, kono inako i kezite ye se te ni ni wambe kwenu indaba zi sa zuweki, kono kusi bulyo ka ni miwambile ha jololwe kuamana ni Itayo.
"I have told you these things in figures; but the time is coming when I shall no longer speak in figures, but will tell you about the Father in plain words.
26 Mwizuba lyo ka mukumbile che zina lyangu mi ka ni wambi chobulyo kwenu kuti ka ni lapele kwe Itayo chenu,
"In that day you shall pray in my name; and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;
27 chokuti Itayo i ye mwine a mi saka chokuti mu ba ni saki mi mu bazumini kuti ni ka zwilila kwe Itayo.
"for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and believed that I came forth from the God.
28 Ni zwilila kwe Itayo, mi ni bakezi mwi inkanda. Hape, chi ni siya inkanda mi chi ni kaya kwe Itayo.”
"I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world. again, I am leaving the world, and am going to the Father."
29 Balutwana ba kwe ni chi bati, “Bone, lyahanu cho wamba ha jolola mi ka u li tusisi indaba zi sa zuweki.
"Ah," said the disciples, "now you are speaking plain language, and not using figures.
30 Lyahanu chi tweziba kuti wizi zintu zonse, mi ko saki zumwi muntu ku kubuza i mpuzo. Chebaka lyo, tuzumina kuti u kazwa kwe Ireeza.”
Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for any one to question you; by this we believe that you came forth from God."
31 Jesu ni cha betaba, “Chi mwa zumina cwale?
"Do you now believe?" said Jesus;
32 Mubone, inako chi ya sika, eeni, che niti chi yasika, he te ni mu hasanywe, zumwi ni zumwi ku munzi wa kwe, mi ka munisiye ne nke. Kono ka ni bi nenke chokuti Itayo wi na name.
"behold the hour approaches and is already come when you will be scattered, each man to his home, and will leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 Ni ba wambi izi zintu kwenu kuti mu be ni nkozo kwangu. Mwinkanda mwina ni masukuluko, kono mu be ni bundume: Ni ba komi inkanda.”
"I have said all this to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be courageous; I have overcome the world."
