¹`These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be stumbled,

¹እንዳትሰናከሉ ይህን ተናግሬአችኋለሁ።

²out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

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

³and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

³ይህንም የሚያደርጉባችሁ አብንና እኔን ስላላወቁ ነው።

⁴`But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said [them] to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

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

⁵and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you doth ask me, Whither dost thou go?

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

⁶but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁶ነገር ግን ይህን ስለ ተናገርኋችሁ ኀዘን በልባችሁ ሞልቶአል።

⁷`But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, 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 having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;

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

⁹concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;

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

¹⁰and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;

¹¹ስለ ፍርድም፥ የዚህ ዓለም ገዥ ስለ ተፈረደበት ነው።

¹¹and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.

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

¹²`I have yet many things to say to you, but ye are not able to bear [them] now;

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

¹³and when He may come — the Spirit of truth — He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

¹⁴እርሱ ያከብረኛል፥ ለእኔ ካለኝ ወስዶ ይነግራችኋልና።

¹⁴He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.

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

¹⁵`All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;

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

¹⁶a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto 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።

¹⁷Therefore said [some] of his disciples one to another, `What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?`

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

¹⁸they said then, `What is this he saith — the little while? we have not known what he saith.`

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

¹⁹Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, `Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold 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 to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

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

²¹`The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

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

²²`And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

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

²³and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

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

²⁴till now ye did ask 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።

²⁵`These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

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

²⁶`In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

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

²⁷for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

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

²⁸I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.`

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

²⁹His disciples say to him, `Lo, now freely thou dost speak, and no similitude speakest thou;

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

³⁰now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.`

³¹ኢየሱስም እንዲህ ብሎ መለሰላቸው። አሁን ታምናላችሁን?

³¹Jesus answered them, `Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour,

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

³²and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and 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 to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage — I have overcome the world.`
