¹Zvinhu izvi ndataura kwamuri, kuti murege kugumburwa.

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

²Vachakubudisai mumasinagoge; hongu nguva inouya, apo umwe neumwe unokuurayai uchafunga kuti unoitira Mwari basa.

²They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;

³Uye zvinhu izvi vachazviita kwamuri, nekuti havana kuziva Baba kana ini.

³and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.

⁴Asi zvinhu izvi ndataura kwamuri, kuti kana nguva yasvika, muzvirangarire kuti ini ndakakuudzai. Asi zvinhu izvi handina kuzvireva kwamuri kubva pakutanga, nekuti ndaiva nemwi.

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

⁵Asi ikozvino ndinoenda kune wakandituma, uye hakuna umwe wenyu unondibvunza, achiti: Munoenda kupi?

⁵But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?

⁶Asi nekuti ndareva zvinhu izvi kwamuri, kusuruvara kwazadza moyo wenyu.

⁶But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷Asi ini ndinokuudzai chokwadi: Zvakanaka kwamuri kuti ini ndiende; nekuti kana ndisingaendi, Munyaradzi haazouyi kwamuri; asi kana ndikaenda, ndichamutumira kwamuri.

⁷But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.

⁸Zvino kana asvika, iye uchapwisa nyika nezvechivi, uye nezvekururama, uye nezvemutongo;

⁸And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹zvechivi, nekuti havatendi kwandiri;

⁹of sin, because they do not believe on me;

¹⁰uye zvekururama, nekuti ndinoenda kuna Baba vangu, uye hamundionizve;

¹⁰of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer;

¹¹uye zvemutongo, nekuti mutungamiriri wenyika ino watongwa.

¹¹of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

¹²Ndichine zvinhu zvizhinji zvekutaura kwamuri, asi hamugoni kuzvitakura ikozvino;

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

¹³asi kana iye asvika, Mweya wechokwadi, uchakutungamirirai kuchokwadi chose; nekuti haazozvitauriri pachake, asi choga choga chaanonzwa uchataura, uye uchakupirai zvinhu zvinouya.

¹³But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.

¹⁴Iye uchandirumbidza, nekuti uchatora pane zvangu, uye uchazvipira kwamuri.

¹⁴He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce [it] to you.

¹⁵Zvose Baba zvavanazvo, ndezvangu; ndokusaka ndichiti uchatora pane zvangu, agopira kwamuri.

¹⁵All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce [it] to you.

¹⁶Kwechinguvana uye hamuchandioni, uye kwechinguvana muchandiona, nekuti ini ndinoenda kuna Baba.

¹⁶A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, [because I go away to the Father].

¹⁷Zvino vamwe vevadzidzi vake vakataurirana vachiti: Chii ichi chaanoreva kwatiri: Kwechinguvana, hamuchandioni; uyezve kwechinguvana muchandiona; uye: Nekuti ini ndinoenda kuna Baba?

¹⁷[Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says 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 to the Father?

¹⁸Naizvozvo vakati: Chii ichi chaanoreva: Chinguvana? Hatizivi chaanoreva.

¹⁸They said therefore, What is this which he says [of] the little while? We do not know [of] what he speaks.

¹⁹Zvino Jesu waiziva kuti vakange vachishuva kumubvunza, akati kwavari: Munobvunzana pamusoro pezvizvi here kuti ndati: Kwechinguvana hamuchandioni, uyezve kwechinguvana muchandiona?

¹⁹Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?

²⁰Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Imwi muchachema nekurira, asi nyika ichafara; uye imwi muchava nekusuruvara, asi kusuruvara kwenyu kuchava mufaro.

²⁰Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.

²¹Mukadzi kana achisununguka une marwadzo, nekuti awa rake rasvika; asi kana angopona mucheche, haacharangaririzve marwadzo, nekufara kuti munhu waponwa panyika.

²¹A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

²²Naizvozvo nemwi ikozvino mune kusuruvara; asi ndichazokuonaizve, nemoyo wenyu uchafara; uye hakuna munhu unokutorerai mufaro wenyu.

²²And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

²³Zvino nezuva iro hamuchazondibvunzi chinhu. Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Chipi nechipi chamuchakumbira kuna Baba muzita rangu vachakupai.

²³And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

²⁴Kusvikira ikozvino hamuna kukumbira chinhu muzita rangu; kumbirai, uye muchagamuchira, kuti mufaro wenyu uzadzwe.

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

²⁵Zvinhu izvi ndataura kwamuri mumadimikira; asi nguva inouya apo ndisingazotaurizve kwamuri nemadimikira, asi ndichakuudzai pachena nezvaBaba.

²⁵These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

²⁶Pazuva iro muchakumbira muzita rangu; uye handirevi kwamuri kuti ini ndichakukumbirirai kuna Baba;

²⁶In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,

²⁷nekuti Baba vemene vanokudai, nekuti imwi makandida, mukatenda kuti ini ndakabuda kuna Mwari.

²⁷for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸Ndakabuda kuna Baba, uye ndakauya panyika; ndinobvazve panyika, uye ndinoenda kuna Baba.

²⁸I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.

²⁹Vadzidzi vake vakati kwaari: Tarirai ikozvino motaura pachena, uye hamutauri madimikira.

²⁹His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.

³⁰Zvino tinoziva kuti munoziva zvinhu zvose, uye hamutsvaki kuti munhu akubvunzei; neizvozvi tinotenda kuti makabuda kuna Mwari.

³⁰Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.

³¹Jesu akavapindura akati: Ikozvino munotenda here?

³¹Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

³²Tarirai, awa rinouya, hongu ikozvino rasvika, rekuti muchaparadzirwa, umwe neumwe kune zvake, uye mundisiye ndoga; izvo handisi ndoga, nekuti Baba vaneni.

³²Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

³³Ndareva zvinhu izvi kwamuri, kuti muve nerugare mandiri. Munyika muchava nedambudziko; asi tsungai moyo, ini ndakakunda nyika.

³³These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.
