Johane 14
1 “A dipelo tsa lona di se fuduege. Lo ikanya Modimo, jaanong inkanyeng le nna.
“Don’t let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
2 Go na le malapa a le mantsi kwa godimo kwa Rara o nnang teng, mme ke ya go a baakanyetsa go tla ga lona. Fa go setse go siame gotlhe, mme ke tlaa tla go lo tsaya, gore lo nne le nna ka metlha yotlhe kwa ke teng. Fa go ne go sa nna jalo nkabo ke lo boleletse sentle fela.
In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you,
and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may also be.
4 Mme lo itse kwa ke yang teng le tsela e e yang teng lo a e itse.”
You know where I go, and you know the way.”
5 Thomase a mo raya a re, “Nnyaa, ga re itse, ga re na kitso epe ya kwa o yang teng, jaanong re ka itse tsela jang?”
Thomas asked Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ke nna Tsela, ee, le Boammaaruri le Botshelo. Ga go na ope yo o ka tlang kwa go Rara fa e se ka nna.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 Fa lo ne lo itsile gore ke mang, hong lo ka bo lo itsile gore Rre ke mang. Go tloga fano lo a mo itse, ebile lo mmonye!”
If you had known me, you would have known my Father too. From now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Filipo a mo raya a re, “Morena, re supegetse Rara mme go tlaa bo go re lekanye.”
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that would be enough for us.”
9 Jesu a fetola a re, “A ga o ise o nkitse Filipo, le fa ke sa bolo go nna le wena ka lobaka lo lo kana? Le fa e le mang yo o mponyeng o bonye Rre! Jaanong ke eng fa o kopa go mmona?
Jesus answered, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you haven’t known me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 A ga o dumele gore ke mo go Rara yo o agileng mo go nna. Ebile o dira tiro ya gagwe ka nna.
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you aren’t my own, but from the Father who lives in me. He does the works.
11 Dumela fela gore ke mo go Rara ebile le Rara o mo go nna. E seng jalo dumela ka ntlha ya dikgakgamatso tse dikgolo tse o mponyeng ke di dira.
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.
12 “Ka boammaaruri jo bo feletseng ke lo bolelela gore, le fa e le mang yo o dumelang mo go nna o tlaa dira dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirileng, gonne ke ya go nna le Rara. Lo ka mo kopa sengwe le sengwe lo dirisa leina la me, mme ke tlaa se dira, gonne mo go tlaa lere kgalaletso kwa go Rara ka ntlha ya se nna, Morwa, ke tlaa se lo direlang.
“Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and even greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Ee, lopang le fa e le eng lo dirisa leina la me mme ke tlaa se dira!”
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “Fa e le gore lo a nthata, inkokobeletseng;
If you sincerely love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 mme ke tlaa kopa Rara mme o tlaa lo naya Mogomotsi yo mongwe, mme ga a kitla a lo tlogela. (aiōn g165)
I will then ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, that He may be with you forever — (aiōn g165)
17 Mogomotsi yoo ke Mowa O O Boitshepo, Mowa o o gogelang mo boammaaruring jotlhe. Lefatshe ka bophara ga le ka ke la o amogela, gonne ga le o batle ebile ga le o itse. Mme lona lo a mo itse gonne o nna le lona gompieno, mme mo malatsinyaneng a a latelang o tlaa bo o le mo go lona.
the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, though, because He lives with you and will be in you.
18 Nnyaa, ga ke na go lo latlha kgotsa go lo tlogela lo le masiela mo setsuatsueng, ke tlaa tla kwa go lona.
I won’t leave you orphans. I will come to you.
19 Mo lobakanyaneng ke tlaa bo ke tsamaile ke dule mo lefatsheng, mme ke tlaa bo ke sa ntse ke na le lona. Gonne ke tlaa tshela gape, mme le lona lo tlaa tshela.
After a little while the world won’t see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live.
20 E tlaa re fa ke boela mo botshelong gape, lo tlaa itse gore ke mo go Rre, mme lona lo mo go nna le nna ke mo go lona.
In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 Ene yo o inkobelang ke ene yo o nthatang; mme ka ntlha ya gore o a nthata, Rara o tlaa mo rata; mme le nna ke tlaa mo rata, ke tlaa mo itshenolela.”
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, sincerely loves me. Whoever sincerely loves me will be sincerely loved by my Father, and I’ll sincerely love them and reveal myself to them.”
22 Judase, (eseng Judase Isekariota, mme e leng morutwa yo mongwe wa gagwe yo o bidiwang ka leina leo le ene) a mo raya a re, “Morena, ke eng fa e le gore o tlaa itshenolela rona barutwa fela e seng lefatshe ka bophara?”
Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesu a fetola a re, “Gonne ke tlaa itshenolela ba ba nthatang le ba ba inkobelang. Rara le ene o tlaa ba rata, mme re tlaa tla kwa go bone go nna nabo.
Jesus answered him, “If anyone sincerely loves me, that person will keep my words; and my Father will sincerely love that person, and we will come and make our home with that person.
24 Le fa e le mang yo o sa inkobelang ga a nthate. Mme gakologelwang, ga se nna ke arabang potso ya lona ka go bua jaana! Ke karabo e e tswang mo go Rara yo o nthomileng.
Whoever doesn’t sincerely love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 Ke lo bolelela dilo tse gompieno ke sa ntse ke na le lona.
“I’ve told you these things while living with you,
26 Mme fa Rara a roma Mogomotsi mo boemong jwa me, mme ka Mogomotsi ke raya Mowa O O Boitshepo, o tlaa lo ruta go le go ntsi thata, le go lo gakolola sengwe le sengwe se nna ke se lo boleletseng.
but the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and bring to your remembrance all that I told you.
27 “Ke lo tlogela ka mpho, ebong, kagiso ya pelo le mogopolo. Mme kagiso e ke e lo nayang ga e senyege jaaka kagiso e lo e newang ke lefatshe. Mme ke gona se tshwenyegeng kgotsa lwa boifa.
I leave peace with you. I give you my peace. I don’t give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Gakologelwang se ke se lo boleletseng, ke a tsamaya, le gale ke tlaa boela kwa go lona gape. Fa e le gore lo a nthata, lo tlaa intumelela, gonne jaanong nka ya kwa go Rara, yo o leng mogolo mo go nna.
You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you sincerely loved me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for my Father is greater than I.
29 Ke lo boleletse dilo tse pele ga di diragala gore ere di diragala, lo tle lo ntumele.
Now I have told you before it happens, that when it does happen, you may believe.
30 “Ga ke nako e ntsi ya go bua le lona, gonne Kgosana e e bosula ya lefatshe leno e a atamela. Ga e na nonofo epe mo go nna,
I won’t talk much longer with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,
31 mme ke tlaa dira ka kgololesego se Rara o se batlang mo go nna gore lefatshe le tle le itse fa ke rata Rara. Tlang, a re tsamayeng.”
but the world must learn that I sincerely love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come on. Let’s go.
