Johani 16
1 “Ndakuudzai zvose izvi kuitira kuti murege kutsauka.
“These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be stumbled.
2 Vachakubudisai musinagoge; chokwadi ndechokuti, nguva iri kuuya yokuti munhu anokuurayai achafunga kuti ari kushandira Mwari.
They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour comes that everyone who has killed you may think to offer service to God;
3 Vachaita zvinhu zvakadai nokuti havana kuziva Baba kana ini.
and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor Me.
4 Ndakuudzai izvi, kuitira kuti kana nguva yacho yasvika, imi mucharangarira kuti ndakakuyambirai. Handina kukutaurirai izvi pakutanga nokuti ndakanga ndinemi.
But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I said [them] to you, and I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you;
5 “Zvino ndava kuenda kune akandituma, asi hakuna mumwe wenyu anondibvunza kuti, ‘Muri kuendepiko?’
and now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, To where do you go?
6 Nokuti ndataura zvinhu izvi, mwoyo yenyu yazara neshungu.
But because I have said to you these things, the sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Asi ndiri kukutaurirai chokwadi kuti: Zvakakunakirai kuti ini ndiende. Kana ndikasaenda, Munyaradzi haangauyi kwamuri; asi kana ndikaenda, ndichamutumira kwamuri.
But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come to you, and if I go on, I will send Him to you;
8 Kana asvika achapa nyika mhosva pamusoro pechivi napamusoro pokururama nokutongwa:
and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
9 pamusoro pechivi, nokuti vanhu havatendi kwandiri;
concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me;
10 pamusoro pokururama, nokuti ndiri kuenda kuna Baba, kwamusingazondionizve;
and concerning righteousness, because I go away to My Father, and you behold Me no more;
11 uye pamusoro pokutongwa, nokuti muchinda wenyika ino atotongwa.
and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 “Ndine zvizhinji zvokutaura kwamuri, zvakawanda zvokuti hamungagoni kuzvitakura iye zvino.
I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear [them] now;
13 Asi kana iye, Mweya wechokwadi, auya, achakutungamirirai muzvokwadi yose. Haangazotauri zvake; achataura zvaanenge anzwa chete, uye achakuudzai zvichauya.
and when He may come—the Spirit of truth—He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;
14 Achauyisa kukudzwa kwandiri nokutora pane zvangu achizvizivisa kwamuri.
He will glorify Me, because He will take of Mine, and will tell to you.
15 Zvose zvaBaba ndezvangu. Ndokusaka ndakati Mweya achatora zvangu agozvizivisa kwamuri.
All things, as many as the Father has, are Mine; because of this I said that He will take of Mine, and will tell to you;
16 “Muchinguva chiduku, hamuchazondionizve, uyezve shure kwechinguva chiduku muchandiona.”
a little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go away to the Father.”
17 Vamwe vadzidzi vake vakataurirana vachiti, “Anoreveiko kana achiti, ‘Muchinguva chiduku hamuchazondioni, uyezve shure kwechinguva chiduku muchandiona,’ uye ‘Nokuti ndiri kuenda kuna Baba’?”
Therefore [some] of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, A little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, and, Because I go away to the Father?”
18 Vakaramba vachingobvunzana vachiti, “Anoreveiko kana achiti, ‘Chinguva chiduku’? Hatinzwisisi zvaanoreva isu.”
They said then, “What is this He says—the little while? We have not known what He says.”
19 Jesu akaona kuti vaida kumubvunza pamusoro pazvo, saka akati kwavari, “Ko, muri kubvunzana pamusoro pezvandanga ndichireva here pandati, ‘Muchinguva chiduku hamuchazondionizve, uye shure kwechinguva chiduku muchandiona’?
Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask Him, and He said to them, “Concerning this do you seek with one another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me?
20 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, muchachema uye mugoungudza asi nyika ichifara. Muchasuwa, uye kusuwa kwenyu kuchashanduka kukava mufaro.
Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will become joy.
21 Mukadzi anopona mwana anorwadziwa nokuti nguva yake yasvika; asi kana mwana wake azvarwa, anokanganwa kurwadziwa kuya nokuda kwomufaro wokuti mwana azvarwa munyika.
The woman, when she may bear, has sorrow, because her hour came, and when she may bear the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born into the world.
22 Naizvozvo nemiwo zvino inguva yenyu yokusuwa, asi ndichakuonai zvakare uye muchafara, uye hakuna achakutorerai mufaro wenyu.
And you, therefore, now indeed have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy from you,
23 Pazuva iro hamuzondibvunzizve kana chinhu. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Baba vangu vachakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira muzita rangu.
and in that day you will question nothing of Me; truly, truly, I say to you, as many things as you may ask of the Father in My Name, He will give you;
24 Kusvikira zvino hamusati matombokumbira kana chinhu muzita rangu. Kumbirai uye muchapiwa, uye mufaro wenyu uchava wakazara.
until now you asked nothing in My Name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
25 “Kunyange ndanga ndichitaura nomufananidzo, nguva inouya yandisingazotauri nemifananidzo, asi ndichakuudzai pachena pamusoro paBaba vangu.
I have spoken these things in allegories to you, but there comes an hour when I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will tell you freely of the Father.
26 Pazuva iro, muchakumbira muzita rangu. Handisi kuti ndichakumbira Baba panzvimbo yenyu.
In that day you will make request in My Name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,
27 Kwete, Baba pachavo vanokudai nokuti makandida, uye makatenda kuti ndakabva kuna Mwari.
for the Father Himself cherishes you, because you have cherished Me, and you have believed that I came forth from God;
28 Ndakabva kuna Baba ndikapinda munyika; zvino ndava kusiya nyika ndichidzokera kuna Baba.”
I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again I leave the world, and go on to the Father.”
29 Ipapo vadzidzi vaJesu vakati, “Zvino mava kutaura pachena musingaiti nemifananidzo.
His disciples say to Him, “Behold, now You speak freely, and You do not speak allegory;
30 Zvino tava kuona kuti munoziva zvinhu zvose uye kuti hapana achafanira kuti akubvunzei mibvunzo. Izvi zvinoita kuti titende kuti makabva kuna Mwari.”
now we have known that You have known all things, and have no need that anyone questions You; in this we believe that You came forth from God.”
31 Jesu akapindura akati, “Mava kutenda here zvino?
Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe? Behold, there comes an hour,
32 Asi nguva iri kuuya, uye yatosvika, yamuchaparadzirwa, mumwe nomumwe achienda kumusha kwake. Muchandisiya ndiri ndoga. Asi handisi ndoga, nokuti Baba vangu vaneni.
and now it has come, that you may be scattered, each to his own things, and you may leave Me alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with Me;
33 “Ndakuudzai zvinhu izvi, kuitira kuti muve norugare mandiri. Panyika muchatambudzika. Asi tsungai mwoyo! Ini ndakakunda nyika.”
these things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace, in the world you will have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.”
