Yoane 16
1 Nalobi na bino makambo oyo nyonso mpo ete bokweya te na komekama to mpo ete kondima na bino ekweya te.
These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.
2 Pamba te bakobengana bino na bandako ya mayangani; mpe tango elingi kutu kokoka, tango oyo moto nyonso oyo akoboma bino akokanisa ete, wana azali kosala bongo, azali kobonzela Nzambe mbeka.
They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;
3 Bakosala bongo mpo ete batikalaki koyeba te ezala Tata to ngai.
and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.
4 Namiyebiseli bino makambo wana nyonso mpo ete, soki tango yango ekoki, bokanisa ete Ngai nasilaki koyebisa bino yango. Nayebisaki bino yango te wuta na ebandeli, mpo ete nazalaki nanu elongo na bino.
But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said [them] unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from [the] beginning, because I was with you.
5 Sik’oyo, nazali kokende epai na Ye oyo atindaki Ngai, mpe moko te kati na bino azali kotuna Ngai: « Ozali kokende wapi? »
But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?
6 Kasi mpo ete nalobi na bino bongo, mawa etondi kati na mitema na bino.
But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Nzokande, nalobi na Ngai kaka bosolo. Ezali penza mpo na bolamu na bino ete Ngai nakende; pamba te soki nakeyi te, Molobeli akoya te epai na bino; kasi soki nakeyi, nakotindela bino Ye.
But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.
8 Bongo tango akoya, akotalisa bato ya mokili na tina na lisumu, na tina na bosembo mpe na tina na kosambisama:
And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 na tina na lisumu, pamba te bandimaka Ngai te;
of sin, because they do not believe on me;
10 na tina na bosembo, pamba te nakeyi epai ya Tata, mpe bokomona Ngai lisusu te;
of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer;
11 na tina na kosambisama, pamba te mokonzi ya mokili oyo asili kosambisama.
of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 Nazali lisusu na makambo mingi ya koyebisa bino, kasi bokokoka kososola yango te sik’oyo.
I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Tango akoya, Molimo ya bosolo, akotambolisa bino kati na bosolo nyonso; pamba te akoloba te makambo kowuta na Ye moko, kasi akoloba kaka makambo nyonso oyo akoyoka, mpe akoyebisa bino makambo oyo ekoya;
But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.
14 akomonisa nkembo na Ngai, pamba te akozwa makambo kowuta epai na Ngai mpe akoyebisa bino yango.
He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
15 Nyonso oyo ezali ya Tata ezali mpe ya Ngai; yango wana nalobi ete akozwa makambo kowuta epai na Ngai mpe akoyebisa bino yango.
All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
16 Etikali mwa tango moke mpo ete bomona Ngai lisusu te; mpe sima na mwa tango, bokomona Ngai lisusu.
A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, [because I go away to the Father].
17 Ndambo ya bayekoli ya Yesu bakomaki komituna: — Yesu alingi penza koyebisa biso nini na maloba oyo: « Etikali mwa tango moke mpo ete bomona Ngai lisusu te; mpe sima na mwa tango, bokomona Ngai lisusu » mpe « nazali kokende epai ya Tata? »
[Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?
18 Bamitunaki lisusu: — Alingi kotalisa nini tango alobi: « Etikali mwa tango moke? » Tozali kososola te ndimbola to tina na yango.
They said therefore, What is this which he says [of] the little while? We do not know [of] what he speaks.
19 Wana Yesu asosolaki ete balingi kotuna Ye motuna, alobaki na bango: — Boni, bozali solo na posa ya koyeba tina ya maloba na Ngai oyo: « Etikali mwa tango moke mpo ete bomona Ngai lisusu te; mpe sima na mwa tango, bokomona Ngai lisusu? »
Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?
20 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: wana bino bokozala kolela mpe komitungisa, mokili ekosepela; bokozala solo na mawa, kasi mawa na bino ekobongwana esengo.
Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.
21 Na tango ya kobota, mwasi ayokaka pasi makasi, pamba te eleko ya kobimisa mwana wuta kati na libumu na ye ekoki; kasi soki kaka aboti, abosanaka pasi nyonso oyo amonaki, mpo na esengo oyo atondaka na yango mpo ete aboti moto.
A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.
22 Bino mpe ndenge moko, bozali sik’oyo na mawa; kasi tango nakomona bino lisusu, mitema na bino ekotonda na esengo, mpe moto ata moko te akokoka kolongola bino esengo yango.
And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
23 Na mokolo yango, bokopesa Ngai lisusu ata motuna moko te. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: Tata akopesa bino nyonso oyo bokosenga Ye na Kombo na Ngai.
And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
24 Kino sik’oyo, bosengi nanu eloko moko te na Kombo na Ngai. Bosenga, mpe bokozwa, mpo ete esengo na bino ezala ya kokoka.
Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 Nalobaki na bino makambo wana nyonso na masese; kasi tango ezali koya, tango oyo nakoloba na bino lisusu na masese te, kasi tango oyo nakoyebisa bino na polele penza makambo oyo etali Tata.
These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.
26 Na mokolo wana, bokosenga na Kombo na Ngai. Nazali koloba na bino te ete nakosengela bino epai ya Tata.
In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,
27 Ye moko Tata alingaka bino, pamba te bolingaka Ngai mpe bondimaki ete nawutaki epai na Nzambe.
for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.
28 Solo, nawutaki epai ya Tata mpe nayaki kati na mokili; mpe sik’oyo, nazali kotika mokili mpe nazali kozonga epai ya Tata.
I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.
29 Bayekoli ya Yesu balobaki: — Okomi sik’oyo koloba na biso na polele mpe otiki koloba na masese!
His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.
30 Tososoli sik’oyo ete oyebi nyonso, mpe ete ozali na posa te ete bapesa Yo mituna. Mpo na yango, tondimi solo ete owutaki epai ya Nzambe.
Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.
31 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bondimi sik’oyo?
Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
32 Kasi boyeba malamu ete tango ezali koya, mpe esili kokoka, tango oyo bokopanzana na bangambo nyonso, moto na moto na ngambo na ye, mpe oyo bokotika Ngai, Ngai moko. Kasi nazali Ngai moko te, pamba te Tata azali elongo na Ngai.
Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
33 Nasengelaki koloba na bino bongo mpo ete bozala na kimia kati na Ngai. Kati na mokili, bozali solo komona pasi; kasi boyika mpiko, nalongi mokili.
These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.
