Johani 16
1 “Ndakuudzai zvose izvi kuitira kuti murege kutsauka.
These things have I said to you, that ye may not be stumbled.
2 Vachakubudisai musinagoge; chokwadi ndechokuti, nguva iri kuuya yokuti munhu anokuurayai achafunga kuti ari kushandira Mwari.
For they will eject you from their synagogues; and the hour will come, that whoever shall kill you, will suppose that he presenteth an offering to God.
3 Vachaita zvinhu zvakadai nokuti havana kuziva Baba kana ini.
And these things will they do, because they have not known either my Father, or me.
4 Ndakuudzai izvi, kuitira kuti kana nguva yacho yasvika, imi mucharangarira kuti ndakakuyambirai. Handina kukutaurirai izvi pakutanga nokuti ndakanga ndinemi.
These things have I spoken to you, that when the time of them cometh, ye may recollect, that I told you of them. And 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 that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 Nokuti ndataura zvinhu izvi, mwoyo yenyu yazara neshungu.
And because I have told you these things, sorrow hath come and hath filled your hearts.
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, that it is profitable for you that I go away; for, if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 Kana asvika achapa nyika mhosva pamusoro pechivi napamusoro pokururama nokutongwa:
And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
9 pamusoro pechivi, nokuti vanhu havatendi kwandiri;
Of sin because they believe not in me:
10 pamusoro pokururama, nokuti ndiri kuenda kuna Baba, kwamusingazondionizve;
and of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more:
11 uye pamusoro pokutongwa, nokuti muchinda wenyika ino atotongwa.
and of Judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “Ndine zvizhinji zvokutaura kwamuri, zvakawanda zvokuti hamungagoni kuzvitakura iye zvino.
Moreover, I have much to say to you: but ye cannot comprehend it now.
13 Asi kana iye, Mweya wechokwadi, auya, achakutungamirirai muzvokwadi yose. Haangazotauri zvake; achataura zvaanenge anzwa chete, uye achakuudzai zvichauya.
But when the Spirit of truth shall come, he will lead you into all the truth. For he will not speak from his own mind; but whatever he heareth, that will he speak: and he will make known to you things to come.
14 Achauyisa kukudzwa kwandiri nokutora pane zvangu achizvizivisa kwamuri.
He will glorify me; because he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you.
15 Zvose zvaBaba ndezvangu. Ndokusaka ndakati Mweya achatora zvangu agozvizivisa kwamuri.
Whatever the Father hath, is mine: therefore said I to you that he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you.
16 “Muchinguva chiduku, hamuchazondionizve, uyezve shure kwechinguva chiduku muchandiona.”
A little while, and ye will not see me; and again a little while, and ye will see me; because I go 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’?”
And his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye will not see me and again a little while, and ye will see me, because I go to my Father?
18 Vakaramba vachingobvunzana vachiti, “Anoreveiko kana achiti, ‘Chinguva chiduku’? Hatinzwisisi zvaanoreva isu.”
And they said: What is this little while, of which he speaketh? We know not what he saith.
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’?
And Jesus knew, that they desired to ask him; and he said to them: Are ye debating with each other, of what I said to you, A little while, and ye will not see me, and again a little while, and ye will see me?
20 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, muchachema uye mugoungudza asi nyika ichifara. Muchasuwa, uye kusuwa kwenyu kuchashanduka kukava mufaro.
Verily, verily, I say to you, That ye will weep and lament: And the world will rejoice, while to you will be sorrow. But your sorrow will be turned to 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, in bringing forth, hath sorrow, for the day of her travail hath come: but when she hath brought forth a son, she remembereth not her anguish, because of 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.
Ye also now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will deprive you of your joy.
23 Pazuva iro hamuzondibvunzizve kana chinhu. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Baba vangu vachakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira muzita rangu.
And in that day ye will ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall ask of my Father in my name, he will give to you.
24 Kusvikira zvino hamusati matombokumbira kana chinhu muzita rangu. Kumbirai uye muchapiwa, uye mufaro wenyu uchava wakazara.
Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye will receive; that your joy may be complete.
25 “Kunyange ndanga ndichitaura nomufananidzo, nguva inouya yandisingazotauri nemifananidzo, asi ndichakuudzai pachena pamusoro paBaba vangu.
These things have I spoken to you in allegories: but the hour will come, when I shall not speak to you in allegories, but I will speak to you plainly of the Father.
26 Pazuva iro, muchakumbira muzita rangu. Handisi kuti ndichakumbira Baba panzvimbo yenyu.
In that day ye will ask in my name; and I do not say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you;
27 Kwete, Baba pachavo vanokudai nokuti makandida, uye makatenda kuti ndakabva kuna Mwari.
for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I proceeded from the presence of the Father.
28 Ndakabva kuna Baba ndikapinda munyika; zvino ndava kusiya nyika ndichidzokera kuna Baba.”
I proceeded forth from before the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29 Ipapo vadzidzi vaJesu vakati, “Zvino mava kutaura pachena musingaiti nemifananidzo.
His disciples say to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and thou utterest no 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 know we, that thou knowest every thing; and thou hast no need, that any one should ask thee: by this we believe, that thou didst proceed from God.
31 Jesu akapindura akati, “Mava kutenda here zvino?
Jesus said to them: Do ye believe?
32 Asi nguva iri kuuya, uye yatosvika, yamuchaparadzirwa, mumwe nomumwe achienda kumusha kwake. Muchandisiya ndiri ndoga. Asi handisi ndoga, nokuti Baba vangu vaneni.
Behold, the hour cometh, and hath now come, when ye will be dispersed, each to his place; and ye will leave me alone. But I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
33 “Ndakuudzai zvinhu izvi, kuitira kuti muve norugare mandiri. Panyika muchatambudzika. Asi tsungai mwoyo! Ini ndakakunda nyika.”
These things have I said to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye will have trouble: but, take courage, I have vanquished the world.
