Yohane 16

1 “Mereka eyinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo na moatumi agyina pintinn.

These things have I spoken unto you, that all of you should not be offended.

2 Wɔbɛpam mo afi wɔn asɔredan mu. Na bere bi bɛba a obiara a obekum mo no besusuw sɛ, sɛ ɔyɛ saa a na ɔresom Onyankopɔn.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.

3 Wɔde saa nneɛma yi bɛyɛ mo, efisɛ wonnim Agya no na me nso wonnim me.

And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4 Nanso mereka eyi akyerɛ mo, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a sɛ bere no du a, mobɛkae nea meka kyerɛɛ mo no. Mfiase no manka eyi ankyerɛ mo, efisɛ na meka mo ho.”

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, all of you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 “Afei de, merekɔ nea ɔsomaa me no nkyɛn. Nanso mo mu biara mmisaa me se, ‘Ɛhe na worekɔ?’

But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where go you?

6 Nea maka akyerɛ mo yi ama mo werɛ ahow.

But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 Nanso meka nokware kyerɛ mo; eye ma mo sɛ mɛkɔ, efisɛ sɛ mankɔ a ɔboafo no remma mo nkyɛn, nanso sɛ mekɔ a mɛsoma no aba mo nkyɛn.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 Na sɛ ɔba a, ɔbɛma wiasefo ahu wɔn bɔne ne nea ɛyɛ trenee ne Onyankopɔn atemmu.

And when he has come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Nea wɔka fa bɔne ho no nyɛ nokware, efisɛ wonnye me nni.

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Nea wɔka fa trenee ho no nyɛ nokware, efisɛ merekɔ Agya no nkyɛn na morenhu me bio.

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and all of you see me no more;

11 Saa ara na nea wɔka fa atemmu ho no nso nyɛ nokware, efisɛ wɔabu wiase yi temmufo no atɛn dedaw.

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 “Mewɔ nsɛm pii ka kyerɛ mo, nanso mprempren de, morentumi nte ase.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but all of you cannot bear them now.

13 Sɛ nokware Honhom no ba a, ɔbɛma moahu nokware no nyinaa. Ɔrenkasa mma ne ho, na mmom nea ɔte no na ɔbɛka, na ɔbɛka nneɛma a ɛbɛba no ho nsɛm akyerɛ mo.

Nevertheless when he, the Spirit (pneuma) of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

14 Ɔbɛhyɛ me anuonyam, efisɛ obetie asɛm biara a meka no na wabɛka akyerɛ mo.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.

15 Biribiara a mʼAgya wɔ no yɛ me dea. Ɛno nti na mekae se Honhom no betie biribiara a meka kyerɛ no na wabɛka akyerɛ mo no.”

All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.

16 “Aka kakraa bi morenhu me, nanso ɛno akyi no ɛrenkyɛ koraa, mubehu me bio.”

A little while, and all of you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and all of you shall see me, because I go to the Father.

17 Asuafo no bi bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Eyi ase ne dɛn? Ɔreka akyerɛ yɛn se, ‘Aka kakraa bi morenhu me nanso ɛno akyi no, ɛrenkyɛ koraa na moasan ahu me.’ Ɔsan kaa bio se, ‘Efisɛ merekɔ Agya no nkyɛn.’”

Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he says unto us, A little while, and all of you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and all of you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

18 Wɔsan bisaa bio se, “Saa asɛm, ‘aka kakra’ yi ase ne dɛn? Yɛnte nea ɔreka yi ase.”

They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot tell what he says.

19 Yesu huu sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wobisa no asɛm a ɔkae no ase no nti ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mekae se, ‘aka kakraa bi morenhu me, nanso ɛno akyi no, ɛrenkyɛ koraa mubehu me bio.’ Eyi ne asɛm a monte ase a enti morebisabisa mo ho mo ho yi?

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do all of you enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and all of you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and all of you shall see me?

20 Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo; mo werɛ bɛhow na moasu, nanso wiasefo ani begye. Mubedi awerɛhow nanso mo awerɛhow no bɛdan anigye.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That all of you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and all of you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 Sɛ ɔbea rebɛwo a, ne werɛ how, efisɛ nʼamanehunu bere adu so, nanso sɛ onya wo a ne werɛ fi ne yaw, efisɛ nʼani gye sɛ wawo onipa aba wiase.

A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22 Saa ara na ɛte wɔ mo ho. Mprempren yɛ mo awerɛhow bere, nanso mehu mo bio ama mo ani agye na obi rentumi nnye saa anigye no mfi mo nsam.

And all of you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.

23 Sɛ saa da no du a moremmisa me biribiara. Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo, Agya no de biribiara a mode me din bebisa no bɛma mo.

And in that day all of you shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever all of you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24 Ebesi saa bere yi momfaa me din mmisaa biribiara da. Mummisa na wɔde bɛma mo na mo anigye awie pɛyɛ.

Until now have all of you asked nothing in my name: ask, and all of you shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 “Menam mmebu mu na maka eyinom akyerɛ mo. Nanso bere bi bɛba a merenkasa wɔ mmebu mu bio, na mmom mɛka biribiara a ɛfa Agya no ho no pefee akyerɛ mo.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

26 Sɛ saa da no du a mode me din bebisa no biribiara a ɛho hia mo. Menka se me na mebisa Agya no ama mo,

At that day all of you shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

27 efisɛ Agya no ankasa dɔ mo. Ɔdɔ mo, efisɛ modɔ me na moagye adi sɛ mifi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na mebae.

For the Father himself loves you, because all of you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

28 Mifi Agya no nkyɛn na mebaa wiase; na afei merefi wiase akɔ Agya no nkyɛn.”

I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 Nʼasuafo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Afei de, wokasa pefee ma yɛte wo ase.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.

30 Yɛahu sɛ wunim biribiara; ɛho nhia sɛ obi bisa wo nsɛm. Eyi ama yɛagye adi sɛ wufi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.”

Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.

31 Yesu buaa wɔn se. “Afei de, mugye di ana?

Jesus answered them, Do all of you now believe?

32 Bere bi rebedu; na mpo adu dedaw a mo nyinaa bɛbɔ ahwete na obiara akɔ nʼankasa fi na aka me nko. Nanso ɛrenka me nko efisɛ Agya no ka me ho.

Behold, the hour comes, yea, is now come, that all of you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 “Maka eyinom akyerɛ mo na moanya asomdwoe wɔ me mu. Mubehu amane wɔ wiase. Nanso munnyina pintinn! Madi wiase so nkonim!”

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me all of you might have peace. In the world all of you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
