Jaona 16
1 Nitaroñako irezay soa t’ie tsy hitsikapy.
"I have told you all this so that you may not stumble.
2 Haitoañe amo fitontonañeo nahareo; eka, ho tondroke ty ora, te inao, mitoroñe an’Andrianañahare ze mamono anahareo.
"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 Hanoe’ iereo amy te tsy nahafohiñe an-dRae naho ahy.
"And they will do these things because they have not known my Father, nor me.
4 Fe nitaroñako, soa te, ie tsatoke ty ora’e, le ho tiahi’ areo te nivolañeko. Tsy nitaroñako hey i entañe zay am-pifotora’e, itika mbe nitraoke.
"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 Fe hionjoñe mb’amy nañitrik’ ahiy mb’eo iraho henaneo, le tsy ama’ areo ty mañontane ahy ty hoe: Aia ty homba’o?
"But now I go my way to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 F’ie mioremeñe añ’arofo ty amy entako ama’ areoy.
"but sorrow has filled your hearts because I have told you these things.
7 Fe ivolañako ty hato, te mahasoa anahareo t’ie hienga, fa naho tsy mienga le tsy hitotsaha’ i Mpañolotsey; aa naho mb’eo iraho le hahitriko mb’ama’areo mb’ etoan-dre.
"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 Ie avy, ro hampiheve maso ty voatse toy ty ami’ty tahiñe naho ty havantañañe vaho ty fizakàñe.
"And he, when he comes, will convict the world of sins and of righteousness and of judgment;
9 O tahiñeo, amy te tsy miato amako iareo.
"of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 I havantañañey, fa homb’ aman-dRaeko mb’eo iraho vaho tsy hahaisak’ ahy ka nahareo.
11 I zakay, fa nafàtse ty mpifehe’ ty voatse toy.
"because the Prince of this world has been judged.
12 Mbe maro ty hitaroñako fa tsy leo’ areo heike.
"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them just now.
13 Ie pok’ atoy i Arofon-katòy le ie ty hiaolo anahareo amy ze hene hatò. Tsy hisaontsy ty aze, fa o janjiñe’eo avao ty ho taroñe’e vaho haboa’e ama’ areo o raha ho avio.
"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 Handrenge ahy re naho handrambe amako vaho hañento ama’areo,
"He will glorify me; for he will take of what is mine and will make known to you.
15 ahiko iaby ze aman-dRaeko, izay ty nitaroñako te hangalak’ amy ahikoy re le hentoe’e nahareo.
"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 Tsy ho isa’ areo iraho te aniany; fa betebeteke le ho oni’ areo indraike.
"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 Hoe ty vesoveso’ o mpiama’e ila’eo: Inoñe i tsarae’e amantikañey, ty hoe: Tsy ho oni’ areo iraho te aniany, le ho oni’ areo indraike te aniany, amy te homb’ aman-dRaeko mb’eo?
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 Nindrae’ iareo ty hoe: Inoñe ze o Anianike sinaontsi’e zao? Nofi’ay i saontsi’ey.
So they kept asking. "What does that ‘little while’ mean of which he speaks? We do not know what he is talking about."
19 Niarofoana’ Iesoà ty ho nañontanea’ iareo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ifañontaneañe hao i asakoy ty hoe: Tsy ho oni’ areo iraho te aniany; naho ty hoe, Hahaisak’ ahy ka nahareo te aniany?
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 Eka, to t’itaroñako t’ie hirovetse naho hangololoike ty tañy, fe hitohàke ty voatse toy. Ho azo ty velo-mihontoke nahareo, fe hifotetse ho firebehañe ty fihonto’ areo.
"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 Tsimboetse ty ampela mitsongo naho tsatoke i ora’ey; f’ie mahatoly ajajamena le haliño’e i ajale’ey, vaho isoloa’e haehake, amy te toly an-tane atoy t’indaty.
"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 Aa le hiotsòtse hey nahareo henaneo, f’ie ho treako indraike le hirebeke ty arofo’ areo vaho tsy hasinta’ ondaty ama’ areo ty haehake.
"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 Tsy hañontane ahy ndra inoñ’ inoñe nahareo amy andro zay. Eka! to t’itaroñako te, ze halalie’ areo aman-dRaeko ami’ty añarako ro hatolo’e.
"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 Pake henàne tsy eo ty nangataha’ areo ami’ty añarako. Mihalalia, le hahazo, hañeneke ty hafalea’ areo.
"Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 Nivolañako am-pandrazañañe irezay; fe antitotse ty andro t’ie tsy handrazañe, fa hitalily malange i Rae.
"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 Hihalaly ami’ty añarako nahareo amy andro zay; tsy anoeko ty hoe: Izaho ty hihalaly aman-dRaeko ho anahareo;
"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 Aiy! toe ikokoan-dRae ie nikoko ahy, naho natoky te nihirik’ aman’ Añahare iraho.
"for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and believed that I came forth from the God.
28 Niboak’ aman-dRae iraho, nizilik’ ami’ty voatse toy, vaho hiavotako ty voatse toy ho mb’ aman-dRae.
"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 En! hoe o mpiama’eo tama’e, Malange o saontsi’o henaneo, amy te tsy mandrazan-drehake.
"Ah," said the disciples, "now you are speaking plain language, and not using figures.
30 Rendre’ay henaneo te kila arofoana’o, naho tsy paia’o ty hañontanea’ ondaty; izay ty iantofa’ay t’ie hirik’ aman’ Añahare.
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 Tinoi’ Iesoà ami’ty hoe: Miantoke hao henaneo?
"Do you now believe?" said Jesus;
32 Toe ho avy ty ora, eka fa tondroke t’ie hiparatsiake, songa hamonje ty aze, le ho farie’ areo ho joriñe iraho; f’ie toe tsy ho bangiñe fa itraofan-dRae.
"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 Nitaroñako irezay soa t’ie hierañerañe amako. Halovilovy ami’ty voatse toy nahareo; fe manintsiña, fa rinebako ty voatse toy.
"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."
