Yokaana 16
1 “Ebyo mbibategeezezza muleme kwesittala.
I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.
2 Banaabagobanga mu makuŋŋaaniro, era ekiseera kijja buli anaabattanga n’alowooza nti aweereza Katonda.
They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.
3 Ebyo balibibakola kubanga Kitange tebaamumanya, era nange tebammanyi.
They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.
4 Kale bino mbibabuulidde nga tebinnabaawo, ekiseera bwe kirituuka ne bibaawo mulyoke mujjukire nti nabagamba. Ebyo saabibategeerezaawo ku lubereberye kubanga nnali nkyali nammwe.
I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.
5 Kaakano ŋŋenda eri eyantuma. Naye tewali n’omu ku mmwe ambuuza nti, ‘Ogenda wa?’
But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?
6 Naye kubanga mbategeezezza ebyo emitima gyammwe gijjudde ennaku.
But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.
7 Naye mbategeereza ddala nti ekisinga obulungi gye muli Nze kwe kugenda. Kubanga bwe sigenda Omubeezi tagenda kujja, kyokka bwe ŋŋenda, ndimutuma gye muli.
But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 Ye bw’alijja, alirumiriza ensi olw’ekibi, n’olw’obutuukirivu n’olw’omusango,
And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:
9 kubanga tebanzikkiriza,
Of sin, because they have not faith in me;
10 olw’obutuukirivu kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange era temukyandaba,
Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;
11 n’olw’omusango, kubanga omufuzi w’ensi eno asaliddwa omusango.
Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 “Nkyalina bingi eby’okubategeeza naye kaakano temusobola kubitegeera.
I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.
13 Naye Omwoyo ow’amazima, bw’alijja alibaluŋŋamya mu mazima gonna, kubanga, taliyogera ku bubwe, wabula anaabategeezanga ebyo by’awulira. Anaababuuliranga ebigenda okubaawo.
However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.
14 Oyo agenda kungulumiza, kubanga agenda kubategeeza bye nnaamubuuliranga.
He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.
15 Byonna Kitange by’alina byange, kyenvudde ŋŋamba nti Mwoyo Mutukuvu anaabategeezanga bye nnaamubuuliranga.
Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.
16 Mu bbanga ttono munaaba temukyandaba, ate wanaayitawo ebbanga ttono ne mundaba!”
After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.
17 Abamu ku bayigirizwa be ne beebuzaganya nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’agamba nti, ‘Mu bbanga ttono temuliddayo kundaba, ate mu bbanga ttono munandaba,’ era nti, ‘Kubanga ŋŋenda eri Kitange?’”
So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?
18 Ne beeyongera okwebuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’agamba nti, ‘Ebbanga ttono?’ Tetutegeera ky’agamba.”
So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.
19 Yesu bwe yamanya nga baagala okumubuuza n’abagamba nti, “Mwebuuzaganya ku kye ŋŋambye nti mu bbanga ttono munaaba temukyandaba ate wanaayitawo ebbanga ttono ne mundaba?
Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?
20 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti mmwe mulikaaba, mulikuba ebiwoobe, naye ensi yo erisanyuka. Mmwe mulinakuwala naye okunakuwala kwammwe kulifuuka essanyu eritagambika bwe mulindabako nate.
Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
21 Omukazi ng’azaala aba mu bulumi buyitirivu, kubanga ekiseera kye kituuse. Naye omwana bw’amala okuzaalibwa olwo omukazi aba takyajjukira bulumi buli olw’essanyu ery’okuzaala omuntu mu nsi.
When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.
22 Kale nammwe kaakano munakuwadde, naye ndiddamu okubalaba ne musanyuka, era essanyu lyammwe tewali n’omu aliribaggyako.
So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.
23 Mu kiseera ekyo nga temukyansaba kintu na kimu, mmwe bennyini munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange.
And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
24 Kino mubadde temukikola, naye kaakano mukitandike. Musabe mu linnya lyange, mujja kuweebwa ekyo kye musaba, essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire.
Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.
25 Ebyo mbibabuulidde mu ngero. Naye ekiseera kijja kutuuka nneme kwogera nammwe mu ngero, wabula mbabuulire lwatu ebifa ku Kitange.
All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.
26 Mu kiseera ekyo mulisaba mu linnya lyange, so si Nze okubasabira eri Kitange.
In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,
27 Kitange abaagala nnyo kubanga nammwe munjagala nnyo era mukkiriza nti nava eri Katonda.
For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.
28 Nava eri Kitange ne nzija mu nsi era nzija kuva mu nsi nzireyo eri Kitange.”
I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.
29 Awo abayigirizwa be ne bamugamba nti, “Kaakano oyogera lwatu, so si mu ngero.
His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.
30 Kaakano tutegedde ng’omanyi byonna, era nga tewali kyetaagisa kukubuuza. Kyetuva tukkiriza nga wava eri Katonda.”
Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.
31 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Kaakano mukkirizza?
Jesus made answer, Have you faith now?
32 Laba, ekiseera kijja, era kituuse mwenna lwe munaasaasaana buli omu n’addayo ku bibye, ne mundeka nzekka. Kyokka sijja kuba nzekka, kubanga Kitange ali wamu nange.
See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.
33 “Mbategeezezza ebyo byonna mulyoke mube n’emirembe mu nze. Mu nsi muno mujja kubonaabona, naye mugume, kubanga Nze mpangudde ensi.”
I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
