¹These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

¹እንዳትሰናከሉ ይህን ተናግሬአችኋለሁ።

²They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

²ከምኵራባቸው ያወጡአችኋል፤ ከዚህ በላይ ደግሞ የሚገድላችሁ ሁሉ እግዚአብሔርን እንደሚያገለግል የሚመስልበት ጊዜ ይመጣል።

³And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

³ይህንም የሚያደርጉባችሁ አብንና እኔን ስላላወቁ ነው።

⁴But 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.

⁴ነገር ግን ጊዜው ሲደርስ እኔ እንደ ነገርኋችሁ ታስቡ ዘንድ ይህን ተናግሬአችኋለሁ። ከእንናንተም ጋር ስለ ነበርሁ በመጀመሪያ ይህን አልነገርኋችሁም።

⁵But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

⁵አሁን ግን ወደ ላከኝ እሄዳለሁ ከእናንተም። ወዴት ትሄዳለህ? ብሎ የሚጠይቀኝ የለም።

⁶But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁶ነገር ግን ይህን ስለ ተናገርኋችሁ ኀዘን በልባችሁ ሞልቶአል።

⁷Nevertheless 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.

⁷እኔ ግን እውነት እነግራችኋለሁ፤ እኔ እንድሄድ ይሻላችኋል። እኔ ባልሄድ አጽናኙ ወደ እናንተ አይመጣምና፤ እኔ ብሄድ ግን እርሱን እልክላችኋለሁ።

⁸And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁸እርሱም መጥቶ ስለ ኃጢአት ስለ ጽድቅም ስለ ፍርድም ዓለምን ይወቅሳል፤

⁹Of sin, because they believe not on me;

⁹ስለ ኃጢአት፥ በእኔ ስለማያምኑ ነው፤ ስለ ጽድቅም፥ ወደ አብ ስለምሄድ ከዚህም በኋላ ስለማታዩኝ ነው፤

¹⁰Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

¹¹ስለ ፍርድም፥ የዚህ ዓለም ገዥ ስለ ተፈረደበት ነው።

¹¹Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹²የምነግራችሁ ገና ብዙ አለኝ፥ ነገር ግን አሁን ልትሸከሙት አትችሉም።

¹²I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ግን እርሱ የእውነት መንፈስ በመጣ ጊዜ ወደ እውነት ሁሉ ይመራችኋል፤ የሚሰማውን ሁሉ ይናገራል እንጂ ከራሱ አይነግርምና፤ የሚመጣውንም ይነግራችኋል።

¹³Howbeit 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.

¹⁴እርሱ ያከብረኛል፥ ለእኔ ካለኝ ወስዶ ይነግራችኋልና።

¹⁴He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁵ለአብ ያለው ሁሉ የእኔ ነው፤ ስለዚህ። ለእኔ ካለኝ ወስዶ ይነግራችኋል አልሁ።

¹⁵All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁶ጥቂት ጊዜ አለ፥ አታዩኝምም፤ ደግሞም ጥቂት ጊዜ አለ፥ ታዩኛላችሁም፥ እኔ ወደ አብ እሄዳለሁና።

¹⁶A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

¹⁷ከደቀ መዛሙርቱም አንዳንዶቹ እርስ በርሳቸው። ጥቂት ጊዜ አለ፥ አታዩኝምም፤ ደግሞም ጥቂት ጊዜ አለ፥ ታዩኛላችሁም፤ ደግሞ። ወደ አብ እሄዳለሁና የሚለን ይህ ምንድር ነው? ተባባሉ።

¹⁷Then 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?

¹⁸እንግዲህ። ጥቂት የሚለው ይህ ምንድር ነው? የሚናገረውን አናውቅም አሉ።

¹⁸They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

¹⁹ኢየሱስም ሊጠይቁት እንደ ወደዱ አውቆ እንዲህ አላቸው። ጥቂት ጊዜ አለ፥ አታዩኝምም፤ ደግሞም ጥቂት ጊዜ አለ፥ ታዩኛላችሁ ስላልሁ፥ ስለዚህ እርስ በርሳችሁ ትመራመራላችሁን?

¹⁹Now 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?

²⁰እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ እናንተ ታለቅሳለችሁ ሙሾም ታወጣላችሁ፥ ዓለም ግን ደስ ይለዋል፤ እናንተም ታዝናላችሁ፥ ነገር ግን ኀዘናችሁ ወደ ደስታ ይለወጣል።

²⁰Verily, 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.

²¹ሴት በምትወልድበት ጊዜ ወራትዋ ስለ ደረሰ ታዝናለች፤ ነገር ግን ሕፃን ከወለደች በኋላ፥ ሰው በዓለም ተወልዶአልና ስለ ደስታዋ መከራዋን ኋላ አታስበውም።

²¹A 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.

²²እንግዲህ እናንተ ደግሞ አሁን ታዝናላችሁ፤ ነገር ግን እንደ ገና አያችኋለሁ ልባችሁም ደስ ይለዋል፥ ደስታችሁንም የሚወስድባችሁ የለም።

²²And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

²³በዚያን ቀንም ከእኔ አንዳች አትለምኑም። እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ አብ በስሜ የምትለምኑትን ሁሉ ይሰጣችኋል።

²³And 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.

²⁴እስከ አሁን በስሜ ምንም አልለመናችሁም፤ ደስታችሁ ፍጹም እንዲሆን ለምኑ ትቀበሉማላችሁ።

²⁴Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ይህን በምሳሌ ነግሬአችኋለሁ፤ ነገር ግን ስለ አብ ለእናንተ በግልጥ የምናገርበት እንጂ ከዚያ ወዲያ በምሳሌ የማልናገርበት ሰዓት ይመጣል።

²⁵These 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.

²⁶በዚያን ቀን በስሜ ትለምናላችሁ፤ እኔም ስለ እናንተ አብን እንድለምን የምላችሁ አይደለሁም፤

²⁶At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

²⁷እናንተ ስለ ወደዳችሁኝ ከእግዚአብሔርም ዘንድ እኔ እንደ ወጣሁ ስላመናችሁ አብ እርሱ ራሱ ይወዳችኋልና።

²⁷For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸ከአብ ወጥቼ ወደ ዓለም መጥቻለሁ፤ ደግሞ ዓለምን እተወዋለሁ ወደ አብም እሄዳለሁ።

²⁸I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

²⁹ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። እነሆ፥ አሁን በግልጥ ትናገራለህ በምሳሌም ምንም አትነግርም።

²⁹His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

³⁰ሁሉን እንድታውቅ ማንምም ሊጠይቅህ እንዳትፈልግ አሁን እናውቃለን፤ ስለዚህ ከእግዚአብሔር እንደ ወጣህ እናምናለን አሉት።

³⁰Now 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.

³¹ኢየሱስም እንዲህ ብሎ መለሰላቸው። አሁን ታምናላችሁን?

³¹Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

³²እነሆ፥ እያንዳንዳችሁ ወደ ቤት የምትበታተኑበት እኔንም ለብቻዬ የምትተዉበት ሰዓት ይመጣል፥ አሁንም ደርሶአል፤ ነገር ግን አብ ከእኔ ጋር ስለ ሆነ ብቻዬን አይደለሁም።

³²Behold, 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.

³³በእኔ ሳላችሁ ሰላም እንዲሆንላችሁ ይህን ተናግሬአችኋለሁ። በዓለም ሳላችሁ መከራ አለባችሁ፤ ነገር ግን አይዞአችሁ፤ እኔ ዓለምን አሸንፌዋለሁ።

³³These 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.
