< John 16 >

1 “I have spoken these things to you to avoid your being caused to stumble
ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܟܫܠܘܢ
2 —they will excommunicate you; indeed, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering God service!
ܢܦܩܘܢܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܘܬܐܬܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܟܠ ܕܢܩܛܘܠܟܘܢ ܢܤܒܪ ܕܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܡܩܪܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ
3 And they will do these things because they have not known either the Father or me.
ܘܗܠܝܢ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܠܝ
4 Now I have told you these things so that when the time comes you may remember that I told you about them; I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.
ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܥܕܢܗܝܢ ܬܥܗܕܘܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܡܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬ
5 “Now then, I am going away to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܫܐܠ ܠܝ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ
6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܐܬܬ ܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܠܬ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ
7 Nevertheless I am telling you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, because if I do not go away the Enabler will not come to you, but if I do go I will send Him to you.
ܐܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܦܪܩܠܛܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܐܫܕܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ
8 “Now when He comes he will convict the world about sin and about righteousness and about judgment:
ܘܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܢܟܤܝܘܗܝ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܥܠ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܕܝܢܐ
9 first about sin, because they do not believe into me;
ܥܠ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܝ
10 then about righteousness, because I am going away to my Father and you will no longer see me;
ܥܠ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܘܒ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ
11 then about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
ܥܠ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ
12 “I still have many things to say to you but you cannot bear it now.
ܬܘܒ ܤܓܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܚܕ ܗܫܐ
13 However, when He, the Spirit of the Truth, has come, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also communicate to you the things that are coming.
ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܗܘ ܢܕܒܪܟܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܫܪܪܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܡܠܠ ܡܢ ܪܥܝܢ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܠܐ ܟܠ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܗܘ ܢܡܠܠ ܘܥܬܝܕܬܐ ܢܘܕܥܟܘܢ
14 He will glorify me because He will take of what is mine and communicate it to you.
ܘܗܘ ܢܫܒܚܢܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܕܝܠܝ ܢܤܒ ܘܢܚܘܝܟܘܢ
15 All that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that He takes from what is mine and will communicate it to you.
ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܐܒܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܗܘ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܝܠܝ ܢܤܒ ܘܢܚܘܝܟܘܢ
16 “In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me, because I am going to the Father.”
ܩܠܝܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ ܘܬܘܒ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ
17 Then some of His disciples said among themselves: “What is this that He is telling us, ‘In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me,’ and because ‘I am going to the Father’?”
ܘܐܡܪܘ ܗܘܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܕܩܠܝܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ ܘܬܘܒ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ ܘܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ
18 So they said: “What is this ‘little’ that He mentions? We do not know what He is talking about.”
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ
19 Well Jesus knew that they were wanting to question Him and said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me’?
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܫܐܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܡ ܚܕܕܐ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܩܠܝܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ ܘܬܘܒ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ
20 Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy.
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܒܟܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܬܐܠܘܢ ܘܥܠܡܐ ܢܚܕܐ ܘܠܟܘܢ ܬܟܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܪܝܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܚܕܘܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ
21 When a woman gives birth she has pain, because her time has come; but when the child is born she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
ܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܝܠܕܐ ܟܪܝܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܛܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܡܘܠܕܗ ܡܐ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܥܗܕܐ ܐܘܠܨܢܗ ܡܛܠ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܠܕ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ
22 So in your turn you are now experiencing grief, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܟܪܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܙܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܚܕܐ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܘܚܕܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܤܒ ܡܢܟܘܢ
23 In that day you will not question me about anything. “Most assuredly I say to you that whatever you ask the Father in my name He will give you.
ܘܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܠܐܒܝ ܒܫܡܝ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ
24 Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܠܐ ܫܐܠܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܒܫܡܝ ܫܐܠܘ ܘܬܤܒܘܢ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܚܕܘܬܟܘܢ ܡܫܡܠܝܐ
25 “I have told you these things using figures of speech, but a time is coming when I will no longer talk to you with figures of speech; rather I will tell you plainly about the Father.
ܗܠܝܢ ܒܦܠܐܬܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܬܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܒܦܠܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܐܒܕܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܒܐ
26 In that day you will ask in my name; I do not say to you that I will request the Father on your behalf,
ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܒܫܡܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܒܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܒܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ
27 because the Father Himself is fond of you, in that you have become fond of me and have believed that I came forth from God.
ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܒܐ ܪܚܡ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܩܬ
28 I did come forth from the Father and have come into the world. I am leaving the world again and am going to the Father.”
ܢܦܩܬ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ ܘܐܬܝܬ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܬܘܒ ܫܒܩ ܐܢܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ
29 His disciples say to Him: “Hey, now you are speaking plainly and using no figure of speech!
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܐ ܗܫܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܘܦܠܐܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ
30 Now we know that you know everything and don't need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God.”
ܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܘܠܐ ܤܢܝܩ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܫܐܠܟ ܒܗܕܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܩܬ
31 Jesus answered them: “Do you believe now, really?
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘ
32 Listen, an hour is coming, actually it has already arrived, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
ܕܗܐ ܐܬܝܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܐܬܬ ܕܬܬܒܕܪܘܢ ܐܢܫ ܠܐܬܪܗ ܘܬܫܒܩܘܢܢܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܕܐܒܐ ܥܡܝ ܗܘ
33 I have spoken these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but take heart, I have conquered the world!”
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܐܢܐ ܙܟܝܬܗ ܠܥܠܡܐ
