< Yohane 14 >
1 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mommma mo akoma nntu. Monnye Onyankopɔn nni na monnye me nso nni.
Let not your heart be troubled: all of you believe in God, believe also in me.
2 Tenaberɛ bebree wɔ mʼAgya efie, ɛno enti, merekɔ akɔsiesie baabi ama mo. Sɛ asɛm a mereka yi nyɛ nokorɛ a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 Na sɛ mekɔ na mekɔsiesie baabi ma mo a, mɛsane aba abɛfa mo akɔ na me ne mo akɔtena.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there all of you may be also.
4 Monim faako a merekɔ no ne ɛkwan ko a mobɛfa so aba hɔ bi.”
And where I go all of you know, and the way all of you know.
5 Toma bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade yɛnnim faako a worekɔ na yɛbɛyɛ dɛn ahunu ɛkwan aba hɔ bi?”
Thomas says unto him, Lord, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?
6 Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mene ɛkwan no, ne nokorɛ no, ne nkwa no; obi ntumi nkɔ Agya no hɔ, gye sɛ ɔfa me so.”
Jesus says unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
7 Yesu kaa bio sɛ, “Afei a moahunu onipa ko a meyɛ yi, saa ara nso na mobɛhunu mʼAgya no, na ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ yi monim no, ɛfiri sɛ, moahunu no!”
If all of you had known me, all of you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth all of you know him, and have seen him.
8 Filipo bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, kyerɛ yɛn Agya no, ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ara ne no.”
Philip says unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it satisfies us.
9 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Filipo, enti me ne mo nanteeɛ dadaada yi, wonnim onipa ko a meyɛ? Obiara a ɔnim onipa ko a meyɛ no nim mʼAgya no. Adɛn enti na woka sɛ, ‘Kyerɛ yɛn Agya’ no?
Jesus says unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father?
10 Filipo wonnye nni sɛ mewɔ Agya no mu na Agya no nso wɔ me mu? Yesu sane ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no mfiri mʼankasa. Agya a ɔte me mu no na ɔnam me so yɛ nʼadwuma.
Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the (rhema) words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.
11 Monnye me nni sɛ mewɔ Agya no mu na Agya no nso wɔ me mu. Sɛ monnnye nsɛm a maka no nni a, nnwuma a mayɛ no enti, monnye nni.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo, obiara a ɔgye me di no, bɛyɛ nnwuma a meyɛ no bi na mpo ɔbɛyɛ nnwuma akɛseakɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, merekɔ mʼAgya no nkyɛn.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 Na biribiara a mobɛbisa wɔ me din mu no, mɛyɛ ama mo, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Agya no animuonyam nam ne Ba no so bɛda adi.
And whatsoever all of you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Biribiara a mode me din bɛbisa no, mɛyɛ ama mo.”
If all of you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 “Sɛ modɔ me a, mobɛdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so.
If all of you love me, keep my commandments.
16 Mɛbisa Agya no na wama mo ɔboafoɔ foforɔ a ɔne Honhom Kronkron no a ɔda Onyankopɔn nokorɛ nyinaa adi no na ɔne mo atena daa. (aiōn )
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (aiōn )
17 Ewiase rentumi nnye no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnhunu no, na wɔnnim no. Nanso, mo deɛ, monim no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔne mo na ɛte.
Even the Spirit (pneuma) of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but all of you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
18 Merennya mo sɛ nwisiaa; mɛsane aba mo nkyɛn bio.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Ɛrenkyɛre biara nnipa renhunu me bio, nanso mo deɛ, mobɛhunu me; na ɛsiane sɛ mete ase no enti, mo nso mobɛtena ase.
Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but all of you see me: because I live, all of you shall live also.
20 Na da a mɛsɔre afiri awufoɔ mu no duru a, mobɛhunu sɛ mewɔ mʼAgya no mu, na mo nso mowɔ me mu, sɛdeɛ me nso mewɔ mo mu no.
At that day all of you shall know that I am in my Father, and all of you in me, and I in you.
21 Obiara a ɔdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so no ne obi a ɔdɔ me. Obiara a ɔdɔ me no mʼAgya bɛdɔ no, na me nso mɛdɔ no na mada me ho adi akyerɛ no.”
He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Yuda, a ɛnyɛ Iskariot, kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wobɛda wo ho adi akyerɛ yɛn nko ara na ɛnyɛ nnipa nyinaa?”
Judas says unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Obiara a ɔdɔ me no bɛdi me nsɛm so. MʼAgya bɛdɔ no na me ne mʼAgya bɛba ne nkyɛn ne no abɛtena.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: (logos) and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 Obiara a ɔnnɔ me no renni me nsɛm so. Nsɛm a moate no nyɛ me ara me nsɛm, na mmom, ɛfiri mʼAgya a ɔsomaa me no nkyɛn.
He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: (logos) and the word (logos) which all of you hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 “Mewɔ mo nkyɛn yi na mereka yeinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo.
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 Honhom Kronkron no a ɔne ɔboafoɔ a Agya no bɛsoma no me din mu no, bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mo biribiara, na wakaakae mo biribiara a maka akyerɛ mo no.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Asomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo; mʼasomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo. Ɛnyɛ ewiase asomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo. Mommma mo akoma nntu; na monnsuro nso.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 “Monkae asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ‘Merekɔ, nanso mɛsane aba mo nkyɛn bio’ no. Sɛ modɔ me ampa ara a, anka mo ani bɛgye, ɛfiri sɛ, afei deɛ, mɛtumi akɔ Agya a ɔwɔ tumi sene me no nkyɛn.
All of you have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If all of you loved me, all of you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 Maka yeinom akyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛba mu a mobɛgye me adi.
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it has come to pass, all of you might believe.
30 Merentumi nkɔ so nkasa pii nkyerɛ mo bio, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbonsam no reba, nanso ɔnni me so tumi.
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
31 Na ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa hunu sɛ medɔ Agya no, ɛno enti na asɛm biara a ɔbɛka no, meyɛ no. “Monsɔre ma yɛnkɔ.”
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go behind.
