Yohane 16
1 “Ndamwambili makani awa kwambeti mutakatyompwa.
“I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.
2 Lino nibakamutandanye mu mandakupaililamo. Kayi cindi nicikashike cakwambeti bantu beshibakamushinenga nibakayeyengeti balasebenselenga Lesa.
They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
3 Nibakense bintu bilico pacebo cakwambeti nkababenshi Bata kayi nenjame nkabanjinshi.
They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.
4 Nsombi ndamwambililinga limo bintu ibi kwambeti cindi cakashika mukanuketi ndalamwambilapo kendi. Ndiya kumwambila bintu ibi pakuyamba pakwinga ndalikuba nenu.”
But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 Nomba lino ndenga kuli Bata balantuma, nsombi paliya nambi umo lanjipushunga kwambeti, “Ulenga kupeyo.”
Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
6 “Nomba mumyoyo yenu mulesulu miyeyo yakungumana pacebo ca bintu mbyondamwambili.
Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.
7 Nsombi ndamwambilinga cakubinga, caina kuli njamwe kwambeti ame njenga. Pakwinga nankandenga, munyamfwilishi usa nteshi akese kuli njamwe. Nsombi ndaya ninkamutume kulinjamwe.
But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
8 Lino akesa shikumunyamfwa nakababoneshe bantu ba panshi pano pabwipishi bwabo nepabululami, kayi nekombolosha kwa Mwami Lesa.
And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
9 Bacimwa pacebo cakwipa kwabo pakwinga nkabashomo mulinjame.
in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 Bacimwa pamakani abululami pakwinga ndenga kuli Bata kayi nteshi mukambonepo sobwe.
in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;
11 Bacimwa pashakombolosha, pakwinga Lesa lamombolosho kendi mwami lendeleshenga cishi cino.
and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.
12 “Nkute Maswi angi akumwambila nsombi nkamwela kwanyumfwishisha sobwe.
I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.
13 Nsombi wakashika Mushimu nukamwiyishe byancine ncine. Pakwinga Nteshi ukambenga bintu byakuliyandila sobwe, nsombi bintu ibyo Bata mbyoshibakamwambilenga, endibyo mbyoshi ukambenga. Kayi nukamwiyishe bintu byakuntangu.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.
14 Nukampe bulemu pakwinga nukamante bintu kufuma kulinjame nekwisa kumwambila.
He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.
15 Bintu byonse byaBata nibyakame. Weco ndamwambilingeti nukamante bilafumunga kuli njame nekwisa kumwambila.
Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.
16 “Kwacindi cing'ana nteshi mukambone, nsombi pakapita kacindi cing'anowa nimukambone.”
In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”
17 Beshikwiya bakendi nabambi balatatika kwipushaneti, “Nomba nicani ncalatwambilinga? Lambangeti, ‘Kwacindi cing'anowa nteshi mukambone.’ Kayi lambangeti, ‘pakwinga ndenga kuli Bata.’
Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
18 Nomba inga cilapandululunga cani, ‘Kwacindi cing'ana’ Nkatulanyumfwishishinga mbyalayandanga kutwambila.”
They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”
19 Yesu walenshibeti balayandanga kumwipusha, neco walabambileti, sena mulepushanyanga pamakani ngondamwambileti, kwakacindi kang'ana nteshi mukambonepo, nsombi pakapita kacindi kang'ana kayi nimukambone?
Aware that they wanted to question Him, Jesus said to them, “Are you asking one another why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’?
20 Ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti nimukalile kayi nimukongumane, nsombi cishi nicikasekelele. Amwe nimukongumane, nsombi kungumana kwenu panyuma pakendi nikukabe kusekelela.
Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
21 Lino pacindi cakupulukamo mutukashi ukute kushupika pacebo cakwambeti cindi cilashiki. Nomba mwana asemwa nkakute nekuyeyako shakushupika, pakwinga kukute kuba kusekelela kwambeti mwana lasemwa.
A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 Nenjamwe mulashupikinga lino, nsombi ninkamubone kayi. Popelapo myoyo yenu nikasekelele, kayi paliya muntu weshakamulamune kukondwa kwenu.
So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
23 “Pabusuba ubo nteti mukayande kunjipusha. necikabeco ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti Bata nibakamupe ciliconse nceshi mukasenge mulina lyakame.
In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
24 Kushikila lelo nkamuna musengapo cintu mulina lyakame. Nomba lino mwela kusenga mulina lyakame, neco, nimukapewe, kwambeti kukondwa kwenu kube kwakwana.”
Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
25 Ndamwambili bintu ibi mumapinda. Cindi nicikashike mposhinkambe pantangalala shaBata, ntetinkambepo mumapinda sobwe.
I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 Busuba ubo nimukasenge kupitila mulina lyakame, ntetikukayandiketi ndimusengele kuli Bata sobwe.
In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27 Bata bamusuni pakwinga munsuni, kayi mwanshometi ndalafuma kuliBata.
For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
28 Ndalafuma kuli Bata kwisa panshi pano. Lino kayi ndafumunga panshi pano kuya kuliBata.
I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”
29 Beshikwiya bakendi balambeti, “Lino mulambanga mwakunyumfwika, kutamba mumapinda sobwe.
His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.
30 Lino tulenshibi kwambeti mubinshi byonse, neco nkatwela kumwipusha. Weco lino tulashomo kwambeti mwalafuma kuli Lesa.”
Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”
31 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Sena lino empomulashomo?
“Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.
32 Cindi nicishike, kayi cilashiki kendi, nceshimumwaike uliyense kuya kwabo, nimunshiye ndenka. Nsombi nkandipo ndenka sobwe pakwinga Bata bali nenjame.
“Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
33 Ndamwambili bintu ibi kwambeti mube neLumuno pakushoma njame. Cishi nicikamupenshe nsombi kamuyumani pakwinga ame ndacikomo cishi capanshi.”
I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
