Johani 16
1 “Ndakuudzai zvose izvi kuitira kuti murege kutsauka.
"I have said all these things to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.
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 is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering a service to God.
3 Vachaita zvinhu zvakadai nokuti havana kuziva Baba kana ini.
They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.
4 Ndakuudzai izvi, kuitira kuti kana nguva yacho yasvika, imi mucharangarira kuti ndakakuyambirai. Handina kukutaurirai izvi pakutanga nokuti ndakanga ndinemi.
But I have told you these things, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 “Zvino ndava kuenda kune akandituma, asi hakuna mumwe wenyu anondibvunza kuti, ‘Muri kuendepiko?’
But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
6 Nokuti ndataura zvinhu izvi, mwoyo yenyu yazara neshungu.
But because I have told you these things, 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.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8 Kana asvika achapa nyika mhosva pamusoro pechivi napamusoro pokururama nokutongwa:
When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, and about righteousness, and about judgment;
9 pamusoro pechivi, nokuti vanhu havatendi kwandiri;
about sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 pamusoro pokururama, nokuti ndiri kuenda kuna Baba, kwamusingazondionizve;
about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you won't see me any more;
11 uye pamusoro pokutongwa, nokuti muchinda wenyika ino atotongwa.
about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12 “Ndine zvizhinji zvokutaura kwamuri, zvakawanda zvokuti hamungagoni kuzvitakura iye zvino.
"I have yet many things to tell you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 Asi kana iye, Mweya wechokwadi, auya, achakutungamirirai muzvokwadi yose. Haangazotauri zvake; achataura zvaanenge anzwa chete, uye achakuudzai zvichauya.
However when he, the Rukha of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own; but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you things that are coming.
14 Achauyisa kukudzwa kwandiri nokutora pane zvangu achizvizivisa kwamuri.
He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
15 Zvose zvaBaba ndezvangu. Ndokusaka ndakati Mweya achatora zvangu agozvizivisa kwamuri.
All things that the Father has are mine; that is why I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.
16 “Muchinguva chiduku, hamuchazondionizve, uyezve shure kwechinguva chiduku muchandiona.”
A little while, and you will no longer see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."
17 Vamwe vadzidzi vake vakataurirana vachiti, “Anoreveiko kana achiti, ‘Muchinguva chiduku hamuchazondioni, uyezve shure kwechinguva chiduku muchandiona,’ uye ‘Nokuti ndiri kuenda kuna Baba’?”
Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"
18 Vakaramba vachingobvunzana vachiti, “Anoreveiko kana achiti, ‘Chinguva chiduku’? Hatinzwisisi zvaanoreva isu.”
So they kept asking, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We do not know what he is saying."
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’?
Yeshua knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see 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 tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
21 Mukadzi anopona mwana anorwadziwa nokuti nguva yake yasvika; asi kana mwana wake azvarwa, anokanganwa kurwadziwa kuya nokuda kwomufaro wokuti mwana azvarwa munyika.
A woman, when she gives birth, has pain, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she does not remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
22 Naizvozvo nemiwo zvino inguva yenyu yokusuwa, asi ndichakuonai zvakare uye muchafara, uye hakuna achakutorerai mufaro wenyu.
Therefore you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
23 Pazuva iro hamuzondibvunzizve kana chinhu. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Baba vangu vachakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira muzita rangu.
"And in that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24 Kusvikira zvino hamusati matombokumbira kana chinhu muzita rangu. Kumbirai uye muchapiwa, uye mufaro wenyu uchava wakazara.
Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
25 “Kunyange ndanga ndichitaura nomufananidzo, nguva inouya yandisingazotauri nemifananidzo, asi ndichakuudzai pachena pamusoro paBaba vangu.
I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 Pazuva iro, muchakumbira muzita rangu. Handisi kuti ndichakumbira Baba panzvimbo yenyu.
In that day you will ask in my name, and I am not saying to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf,
27 Kwete, Baba pachavo vanokudai nokuti makandida, uye makatenda kuti ndakabva kuna Mwari.
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and 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 to the Father."
29 Ipapo vadzidzi vaJesu vakati, “Zvino mava kutaura pachena musingaiti nemifananidzo.
His disciples said to him, "Look, now you are speaking plainly and not in any figure of speech.
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 know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."
31 Jesu akapindura akati, “Mava kutenda here zvino?
Yeshua answered them, "Do you now believe?
32 Asi nguva iri kuuya, uye yatosvika, yamuchaparadzirwa, mumwe nomumwe achienda kumusha kwake. Muchandisiya ndiri ndoga. Asi handisi ndoga, nokuti Baba vangu vaneni.
Look, the time is coming, and has come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. But 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.”
I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up. I have overcome the world."
