1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
Maneno hayo nimewaambia, msije mkachukizwa.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Watawatenga na masinagogi; naam, saa yaja atakapodhania kila mtu awauaye ya kuwa anamtolea Mungu ibada.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Na hayo watawatenda kwa sababu hawakumjua Baba wala mimi.
4 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.
Lakini nimewaambia hayo, ili makusudi saa ile itakapokuja myakumbuke ya kuwa mimi naliwaambia. Sikuwaambia hayo tangu mwanzo, kwa sababu nalikuwapo pamoja nanyi.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
Lakini sasa mimi naenda zangu kwake yeye aliyenipeleka, wala hakuna mmoja wenu aniulizaye, Unakwendapi?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
Ila kwa sababu nimewaambia hayo huzuni imejaa mioyoni mwenu.
7 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.
Lakini mimi nawaambia iliyo kweli; yawafaa ninyi mimi niondoke, kwa maana mimi nisipoondoka, huyo Msaidizi hatakuja kwenu; bali mimi nikienda zangu, nitampeleka kwenu.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Naye akiisha kuja, huyo atauhakikisha ulimwengu kwa habari ya dhambi, na haki, na hukumu.
9 of sin, because they believe not on me;
Kwa habari ya dhambi, kwa sababu hawaniamini mimi;
10 of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
kwa habari ya haki, kwa sababu mimi naenda zangu kwa Baba, wala hamnioni tena;
11 of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
kwa habari ya hukumu, kwa sababu yule mkuu wa ulimwengu huu amekwisha kuhukumiwa.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Hata bado nikali ninayo mengi ya kuwaambia, lakini hamwezi kuyastahimili hivi sasa.
13 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.
Lakini yeye atakapokuja, huyo Roho wa kweli, atawaongoza awatie kwenye kweli yote; kwa maana hatanena kwa shauri lake mwenyewe, lakini yote atakayoyasikia atayanena, na mambo yajayo atawapasha habari yake.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Yeye atanitukuza mimi, kwa kuwa atatwaa katika yaliyo yangu na kuwapasha habari.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Na yote aliyo nayo Baba ni yangu; kwa hiyo nalisema ya kwamba atatwaa katika yaliyo yangu, na kuwapasheni habari.
16 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.
Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamnioni; na tena bado kitambo kidogo nanyi mtaniona.
17 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?
Basi baadhi ya wanafunzi wake wakasemezana, Neno gani hilo asemalo, Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamnioni, na tena bado kitambo kidogo nanyi mtaniona? Na hilo, Kwa sababu naenda zangu kwa Baba?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
Basi walisema, Neno gani hilo asemalo; hilo, Bado kitambo kidogo? Hatujui asemalo.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire 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?
Yesu alifahamu ya kwamba wanataka kumwuliza, akawaambia, Ndilo hilo mnaloulizana, ya kuwa nalisema, Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamnioni, na tena bado kitambo kidogo nanyi mtaniona?
20 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.
Amin, amin, nawaambia, Ninyi mtalia na kuomboleza, bali ulimwengu utafurahi; ninyi mtahuzunishwa, lakini huzuni yenu itageuka kuwa furaha.
21 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.
Mwanamke azaapo, yuna huzuni kwa kuwa saa yake imefika; lakini akiisha kuzaa mwana, haikumbuki tena ile dhiki, kwa sababu ya furaha ya kuzaliwa mtu ulimwenguni.
22 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.
Basi ninyi hivi sasa mna huzuni; lakini mimi nitawaona tena; na mioyo yenu itafurahi, na furaha yenu hakuna awaondoleaye.
23 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.
Tena siku ile hamtaniuliza neno lo lote. Amin, amin, nawaambia, Mkimwomba Baba neno lo lote atawapa kwa jina langu.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Hata sasa hamkuomba neno kwa jina langu; ombeni, nanyi mtapata; furaha yenu iwe timilifu.
25 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.
Hayo nimesema nanyi kwa mithali; saa yaja ambapo sitasema nanyi tena kwa mithali, lakini nitawapa waziwazi habari ya Baba.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
Na siku ile mtaomba kwa jina langu, wala siwaambii ya kwamba mimi nitawaombea kwa Baba;
27 for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
kwa maana Baba mwenyewe awapenda kwa kuwa ninyi mmenipenda mimi, na kusadiki ya kwamba mimi nalitoka kwa Baba.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
Nalitoka kwa Baba, nami nimekuja hapa ulimwenguni; tena nauacha ulimwengu; na kwenda kwa Baba.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Basi wanafunzi wake wakasema, Tazama, sasa wasema waziwazi, wala huneni mithali yo yote.
30 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 God.
Sasa tumejua ya kuwa wewe wafahamu mambo yote, wala huna haja ya mtu akuulize; kwa hiyo twasadiki ya kwamba ulitoka kwa Mungu.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
Yesu akawajibu, Je! Mnasadiki sasa?
32 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.
Tazama, saa yaja, naam, imekwisha kuja, ambapo mtatawanyika kila mmoja kwao kwao, na kuniacha mimi peke yangu; walakini mimi si peke yangu, kwa kuwa Baba yupo pamoja nami.
33 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.
Hayo nimewaambieni mpate kuwa na amani ndani yangu. Ulimwenguni mnayo dhiki; lakini jipeni moyo; mimi nimeushinda ulimwengu.
