< John 14 >

1 “Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọkàn yín kí ó dàrú, ẹ gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́, kí ẹ sì gbà mí gbọ́ pẹ̀lú.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 Nínú ilé Baba mi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ibùgbé ni ó wà, ìbá má ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, èmi ìbá tí sọ fún yín. Èmi ń lọ láti pèsè ààyè sílẹ̀ fún yín.
In my Father’s home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 Bí mo bá sì lọ láti pèsè ààyè sílẹ̀ fún un yín, èmi ó tún padà wá, èmi ó sì mú yín lọ sọ́dọ̀ èmi tìkára mi; pé níbi tí èmi gbé wà, kí ẹ̀yin lè wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
4 Ẹ̀yin mọ ibi tí èmi gbé ń lọ, ẹ sì mọ ọ̀nà náà.”
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Tomasi wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, a kò mọ ibi tí ìwọ ń lọ, a ó ha ti ṣe mọ ọ̀nà náà?”
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas. “So how can we know the way?”
6 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Èmi ni ọ̀nà, òtítọ́ àti ìyè, kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó lè wá sọ́dọ̀ Baba, bí kò ṣe nípasẹ̀ mi.
Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 Ìbá ṣe pé ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ mí, ẹ̀yin ìbá ti mọ Baba mi pẹ̀lú, láti ìsinsin yìí lọ ẹ̀yin mọ̀ ọ́n, ẹ sì ti rí i.”
If you had recognized me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognize him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 Filipi wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, fi Baba náà hàn wá, yóò sì tó fún wa.”
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we will be satisfied.”
9 Jesu wí fún un pé, “Bí àkókò tí mo bá yín gbé ti tó yìí, ìwọ, kò sì tí ì mọ̀ mí síbẹ̀ Filipi? Ẹni tí ó bá ti rí mi, ó ti rí Baba. Ìwọ ha ti ṣe wí pé, ‘Fi Baba hàn wá!’
“Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? The person who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Ìwọ kò ha gbàgbọ́ pé, èmi wà nínú Baba, àti pé Baba wà nínú mi? Ọ̀rọ̀ tí èmi ń sọ fún yín, èmi kò dá a sọ; ṣùgbọ́n Baba ti ó wà nínú mi, òun ní ń ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
Don’t you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work.
11 Ẹ gbà mí gbọ́ pé, èmi wà nínú Baba, Baba sì wà nínú mi, bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ gbà mí gbọ́ nítorí àwọn ẹ̀rí iṣẹ́ náà pàápàá!
Believe me,” he said to them all, “when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me because of the work itself.
12 Lóòótọ́ lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ẹni tí ó bá gbà mí gbọ́, iṣẹ́ tí èmi ń ṣe ni òun yóò ṣe pẹ̀lú; iṣẹ́ tí ó tóbi ju wọ̀nyí lọ ni yóò sì ṣe; nítorí tí èmi ń lọ sọ́dọ̀ Baba.
In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me will themselves do the work that I am doing; and they will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
13 Ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin bá sì béèrè ní orúkọ mi, òun náà ni èmi ó ṣe, kí a lè yin Baba lógo nínú Ọmọ.
Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honored in the Son.
14 Bí ẹ̀yin bá béèrè ohunkóhun ní orúkọ mi, èmi ó ṣe é.
If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
15 “Bí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ràn mi, ẹ ó pa òfin mi mọ́.
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 Nígbà náà èmi yóò wá béèrè lọ́wọ́ Baba. Òun yóò sì fún yín ní olùtùnú mìíràn. Olùtùnú náà yóò máa bá yín gbé títí láé. (aiōn g165)
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you always – the Spirit of truth. (aiōn g165)
17 Òun ni Ẹ̀mí òtítọ́. Ayé kò le gbà á. Nítorí ayé kò mọ̀ ọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò rí i rí. Ẹ̀yin mọ̀ ọn nítorí láti ìgbà tí ẹ ti wà pẹ̀lú mí. Òun náà ti wà pẹ̀lú yín. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ kan yóò wọ inú yín láti máa gbé ibẹ̀.
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognize him, but you recognize him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 Èmi kò ní fi yín sílẹ̀ láìní Olùtùnú, kí ẹ ma dàbí ọmọ tí kò ní òbí. Rárá o! Mo tún ń tọ̀ yín bọ̀.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 Nígbà díẹ̀ sí i, ayé kì yóò rí mi mọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò rí mi, nítorí tí èmi wà láààyè, ẹ̀yin yóò wà láààyè pẹ̀lú.
In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
20 Ní ọjọ́ náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé, èmi wà nínú Baba mi, àti ẹ̀yin nínú mi, àti èmi nínú yín.
At that time you will recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 Ẹni tí ó bá ní òfin mi, tí ó bá sì ń pa wọ́n mọ́, òun ni ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn mi, ẹni tí ó bá sì fẹ́ràn mi, a ó fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba mi, èmi ó sì fẹ́ràn rẹ̀, èmi ó sì fi ara mi hàn fún un.”
It is they who have my commands and lays them to heart who loves me; and the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them, and will reveal myself to them.”
22 Judasi (kì í ṣe Judasi Iskariotu) wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, èéha ti ṣe tí ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ hàn fún àwa, tí kì yóò sì ṣe fún aráyé?”
“What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesu dáhùn ó sì wí fún un pé, “Bí ẹnìkan bá fẹ́ràn mi, yóò pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́. Baba mi yóò sì fẹ́ràn rẹ̀, àwa ó sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, a ó sì ṣe ibùgbé wa pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
“Whoever loves me,” Jesus answered, “will lay my message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Ẹni tí kò fẹ́ràn mi ni kò pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́. Ọ̀rọ̀ tí ẹ̀yin ń gbọ́ kì í ṣe ti èmi, ṣùgbọ́n ti Baba tí ó rán mi.
The person who does not love me will not lay my message to heart; and the message to which you are listening is not my own, but comes from the Father who sent me.
25 “Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni èmi ti sọ fún yín, nígbà tí mo ń bá yín gbé.
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 Ṣùgbọ́n Olùtùnú náà, Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, ẹni tí Baba yóò rán ní orúkọ mi, òun ni yóò kọ́ yín ní ohun gbogbo, yóò sì rán yín létí ohun gbogbo tí mo ti sọ fún yín.
but the helper – the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name – will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
27 Àlàáfíà ni mo fi sílẹ̀ fún yín pé, àlàáfíà mi ni mo fi fún yin, kì í ṣe bí ayé ti fi fún ni. Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọkàn yín dàrú, ẹ má sì jẹ́ kí ó wárìrì.
Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
28 “Ẹ̀yin sá ti gbọ́ bí mo ti wí fún yín pé, ‘Èmi ń lọ, èmi ó sì tọ̀ yín wá.’ Ìbá ṣe pé ẹ̀yin fẹ́ràn mi, ẹ̀yin ìbá yọ̀ nítorí èmi ń lọ sọ́dọ̀ Baba; nítorí Baba mi tóbi jù mí lọ.
You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 Èmi sì ti sọ fún yín nísinsin yìí kí ó tó ṣẹ, pé nígbà tí ó bá ṣẹ, kí ẹ lè gbàgbọ́.
And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 Èmi kì yóò bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀, nítorí ọmọ-aládé ayé yí wá, kò sì ní nǹkan kan lòdì sí mi.
I will not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
31 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí kí ayé lè mọ̀ pé èmi fẹ́ràn Baba; gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba sì ti fi àṣẹ fún mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi ń ṣe. “Ẹ dìde, ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ kúrò níhìn-ín yìí.
but he is coming so that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
