Yohane 16

1 “Mereka yeinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo na moatumi agyina hɔ pintinn.

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

2 Wɔbɛpam mo afiri wɔn asɔredan mu. Na ɛberɛ bi bɛba a obiara a ɔbɛkum mo no bɛsusu sɛ, sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, na ɔresom Onyankopɔn.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth YHWH service.

3 Wɔde saa nneɛma yi bɛyɛ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnnim Agya no na me nso wɔnnim me.

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

4 Nanso, mereka yei akyerɛ mo, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ ɛberɛ no duru a, mobɛkae deɛ meka kyerɛɛ mo no. Ahyɛaseɛ no, manka yei ankyerɛ mo, ɛfiri sɛ na meka mo ho.”

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye 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 deɛ merekɔ deɛ ɔsomaa me no nkyɛn. Nanso, mo mu biara mmisaa me sɛ, ‘Ɛhe na worekɔ?’

But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

6 Deɛ maka akyerɛ mo yi ama mo werɛ aho.

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

7 Nanso, meka nokorɛ kyerɛ mo; ɛyɛ ma mo sɛ mɛkɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ mankɔ a, ɔboafoɔ no remma 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 Nanso, sɛ mekɔ a, mɛsoma no aba mo nkyɛn. Na sɛ ɔba a, ɔbɛma ewiasefoɔ ahunu wɔn bɔne ne deɛ ɛyɛ tenenee ne Onyankopɔn atemmuo.

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

9 Deɛ wɔka fa bɔne ho no nyɛ nokorɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnnye me nni.

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Deɛ wɔka fa tenenee ho no nyɛ nokorɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, merekɔ Agya no nkyɛn na morenhunu me bio.

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Saa ara na deɛ wɔka fa atemmuo ho no nso nyɛ nokorɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔabu ewiase yi ɔtemmufoɔ no atɛn dada.

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

12 “Mewɔ nsɛm pii ka kyerɛ mo, nanso seesei deɛ, morentumi nte aseɛ.

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

13 Sɛ nokorɛ Honhom no ba a, ɔbɛma moahunu nokorɛ no nyinaa. Ɔrenkasa mma ne ho, na mmom, deɛ ɔte no na ɔbɛka, na ɔbɛka nneɛma a ɛbɛba no ho nsɛm akyerɛ mo.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is 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 shew you things to come.

14 Ɔbɛhyɛ me animuonyam, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbɛtie asɛm biara a meka no na wabɛka akyerɛ mo.

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

15 Biribiara a mʼAgya wɔ no yɛ me dea. Ɛno enti na mekaa sɛ, Honhom no bɛtie biribiara a meka kyerɛ no, na wabɛka akyerɛ mo no.”

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

16 “Aka kakra bi morenhunu me, nanso ɛno akyi no, ɛrenkyɛre koraa, mobɛhunu me bio.”

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

17 Asuafoɔ no bi bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Yei ase ne sɛn? Ɔreka akyerɛ yɛn sɛ, ‘Aka kakra bi morenhunu me nanso ɛno akyi no, ɛrenkyɛre koraa na moasane ahunu me.’ Ɔsane kaa bio sɛ, ‘Ɛfiri sɛ, merekɔ Agya no nkyɛn.’”

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

18 Wɔsane bisaa bio sɛ, “Saa asɛm, ‘aka kakra’ yi aseɛ ne sɛn? Yɛnte deɛ ɔreka yi ase.”

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

19 Yesu hunuu sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wɔbisa no asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no ase no enti, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mekaa sɛ, ‘aka kakra bi morenhunu me, nanso ɛno akyi no, ɛrenkyɛre koraa mobɛhunu me bio’. Yei ne asɛm a monte aseɛ a enti morebisabisa mo ho mo ho yi?

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

20 Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo; mo werɛ bɛho na moasu, nanso ewiasefoɔ ani bɛgye. Mobɛdi awerɛhoɔ nanso mo awerɛhoɔ no bɛdane anigyeɛ.

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

21 Sɛ ɔbaa rebɛwo a, ne werɛ ho, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼamanehunuberɛ aduru so. Nanso, sɛ ɔnya wo a, ne werɛ firi ne yea, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼani gye sɛ wawo onipa aba ewiase.

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

22 Saa ara na ɛte wɔ mo ho. Seesei deɛ, mo werɛ aho. Nanso, mɛhunu mo bio ama mo ani agye na obi rentumi nnye saa anigyeɛ no mfiri mo nsam.

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

23 Sɛ saa da no duru a, moremmisa me biribiara. Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo, Agya no de biribiara a mode me din bɛbisa no bɛma mo.

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

24 Ɛbɛsi saa ɛberɛ yi, momfaa me din mmisaa biribiara da. Mommisa na wɔde bɛma mo na mo anigyeɛ awie pɛyɛ.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 “Menam abɛbuo mu na maka yeinom akyerɛ mo. Nanso, ɛberɛ bi bɛba a merenkasa abɛbuo 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 cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

26 Sɛ saa da no duru a, mode me din bɛbisa no biribiara a ɛho hia mo. Menka sɛ me na mɛbisa Agya no ama mo,

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

27 ɛfiri sɛ, Agya no ankasa dɔ mo. Ɔdɔ mo, ɛfiri sɛ, modɔ me na moagye adi sɛ mefiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na mebaeɛ.

For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from Elohim.

28 Mefiri Agya no nkyɛn na mebaa ewiase; na afei merefiri ewiase 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 Nʼasuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Afei deɛ, wokasa pefee ma yɛte wo aseɛ.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

30 Yɛahunu sɛ wonim biribiara; ɛho nhia sɛ obi bisa wo nsɛm. Yei ama yɛagye adi sɛ wofiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.”

Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from YHWH.

31 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ. “Afei deɛ, mogye di?

Yahushua answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 Ɛberɛ bi rebɛduru, na mpo aduru dada a mo nyinaa bɛbɔ ahwete na obiara akɔ ne fie na aka me nko. Nanso, ɛrenka me nko ɛfiri sɛ, Agya no ka me ho.

Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye 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 yeinom akyerɛ mo na moanya asomdwoeɛ wɔ me mu. Mobɛhunu amane wɔ ewiase. Nanso, monnyina pintinn! Madi ewiase so nkonim!”

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