Iohannem 16
1 Haec locutus sum vobis, ut non scandalizemini.
“I have said these things to you so that you will not fall away.
2 Absque synagogis facient vos: sed venit hora, ut omnis, qui interficit vos, arbitretur obsequium se praestare Deo.
They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, an hour is coming when anyone who kills you will think that he is offering service to God.
3 et haec facient vobis, quia non noverunt Patrem, neque me.
They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.
4 Sed haec locutus sum vobis: ut cum venerit hora reminiscamini, quia ego dixi vobis.
But I have said these things to you so that when the hour comes you will remember that I said them to you. I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 Haec autem vobis ab initio non dixi, quia vobiscum eram: Et nunc vado ad eum, qui misit me; et nemo ex vobis interrogat me, Quo vadis?
“But now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are yoʋ going?’
6 Sed quia haec locutus sum vobis, tristitia implevit cor vestrum.
Rather, sorrow has filled your hearts because I have said these things to you.
7 Sed ego veritatem dico vobis: expedit vobis ut ego vadam: si enim non abiero, Paraclitus non veniet ad vos: si autem abiero, mittam eum ad vos.
But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go, I will send him to you.
8 Et cum venerit ille, arguet mundum de peccato, et de iustitia, et de iudicio.
And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment:
9 de peccato quidem: quia non crediderunt in me.
concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 de iustitia vero: quia ad Patrem vado: et iam non videbitis me:
concerning righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you will no longer see me;
11 De iudicio autem: quia princeps huius mundi iam iudicatus est.
and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
12 Adhuc multa habeo vobis dicere: sed non potestis portare modo.
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 Cum autem venerit ille Spiritus veritatis, docebit vos omnem veritatem. non enim loquetur a semetipso: sed quaecumque audiet loquetur, et quae ventura sunt annunciabit vobis.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you what is to come.
14 Ille me clarificabit: quia de meo accipiet, et annunciabit vobis.
He will glorify me, for he will receive from me what is mine and declare it to you.
15 Omnia quaecumque habet Pater, mea sunt. Propterea dixi: quia de meo accipiet, et annunciabit vobis.
All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said that he will receive from me what is mine and declare it to you.
16 Modicum, et iam non videbitis me: et iterum modicum, et videbitis me: quia vado ad Patrem.
“In a little while you will not see me; and again after a little while, you will see me, for I am going to the Father.”
17 Dixerunt ergo ex discipulis eius ad invicem: Quid est hoc, quod dicit nobis: Modicum, et non videbitis me: et iterum modicum, et videbitis me, et quia vado ad Patrem?
Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us, ‘In a little while you are not going to see me; and again after a little while, you will see me,’ and, ‘For I am going to the Father’?”
18 Dicebant ergo: Quid est hoc, quod dicit, Modicum? nescimus quid loquitur.
So they kept saying, “What does he mean by saying, ‘A little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.”
19 Cognovit autem Iesus, quia volebant eum interrogare, et dixit eis: De hoc quaeritis inter vos quia dixi, Modicum, et non videbitis me: et iterum modicum, et videbitis me.
Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while, you will not see me; and again after a little while, you will see me’?
20 Amen, amen dico vobis: quia plorabitis, et flebitis vos, mundus autem gaudebit: vos autem contristabimini, sed tristitia vestra vertetur in gaudium.
Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.
21 Mulier cum parit, tristitiam habet, quia venit hora eius: cum autem pepererit puerum, iam non meminit pressurae propter gaudium: quia natus est homo in mundum.
When a woman is giving birth, she has pain because her hour has come, but when her baby is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 Et vos igitur nunc quidem tristitiam habetis, iterum autem videbo vos, et gaudebit cor vestrum: et gaudium vestrum nemo tollet a vobis.
So you also have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
23 Et in illo die me non rogabitis quidquam. Amen, amen dico vobis: siquid petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, dabit vobis.
In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name he will give you.
24 Usque modo non petistis quidquam in nomine meo: Petite, et accipietis, ut gaudium vestrum sit plenum.
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be full.
25 Haec in proverbiis locutus sum vobis. Venit hora cum iam non in proverbiis loquar vobis, sed palam de Patre annunciabo vobis.
“I have told you these things in figures of speech, but an hour is coming when I will no longer use figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 in illo die in nomine meo petetis: et non dico vobis quia ego rogabo Patrem de vobis:
In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf,
27 Ipse enim Pater amat vos, quia vos me amastis, et credidistis, quia ego a Deo exivi.
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have come to believe that I came from God.
28 Exivi a Patre, et veni in mundum: iterum relinquo mundum, et vado ad Patrem.
I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29 Dicunt ei discipuli eius: Ecce nunc palam loqueris, et proverbium nullum dicis.
His disciples said to him, “Behold, now yoʋ are speaking plainly and not using any figure of speech.
30 nunc scimus quia scis omnia, et non opus est tibi ut quis te interroget: in hoc credimus quia a Deo existi.
Now we know that yoʋ know all things and have no need for anyone to question yoʋ; because of this we believe that yoʋ came from God.”
31 Respondit eis Iesus: Modo creditis?
Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe?
32 Ecce venit hora, et iam venit, ut dispergamini unusquisque in propria, et me solum relinquatis: et non sum solus, quia Pater mecum est.
Behold, an hour is coming, and has now come, when you will be scattered, each to yoʋr own home, and will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
33 Haec locutus sum vobis, ut in me pacem habeatis. In mundo pressuram habebitis: sed confidite, ego vici mundum.
I have said these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world.”
