< John 14 >

1 “Don't let your minds be anxious. Trust in God, trust in me as well.
ܠܐ ܢܬܕܘܕ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܝ ܗܝܡܢܘ
2 In my Father's house there are many rooms. If this wasn't so I would have told you. I'm going to prepare a place for you.
ܤܓܝܐܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܘܢܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܒܝ ܘܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܛܝܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܬܪܐ
3 Once I've gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you back with me, so that you can be there with me too.
ܘܐܢ ܐܙܠ ܐܛܝܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܬܪܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܐ ܘܐܕܒܪܟܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܕܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ
4 You know the way to where I'm going.”
ܘܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܘܪܚܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you're going. How can we know the way?”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐܘܡܐ ܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܡܕܥ
6 Jesus replied, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܫܪܪܐ ܘܚܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܝ
7 If you had known me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and you have seen him.”
ܐܠܘ ܠܝ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܐܒܝ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܘܚܙܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we'll be convinced.”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܡܪܢ ܚܘܢ ܐܒܐ ܘܟܕܘ ܠܢ
9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you such a long time, Philip, and yet you still don't know me? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܙܒܢܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܢܝ ܦܝܠܝܦܐ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܚܙܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܚܘܢ ܐܒܐ
10 Don't you believe that I live in the Father and the Father lives in me? The words I speak are not mine; it's the Father living in me who is doing his work.
ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܢܐ ܒܐܒܝ ܘܐܒܝ ܒܝ ܡܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܒܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܝ ܥܡܪ ܗܘ ܥܒܕ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܠܝܢ
11 Believe me when I tell you that I live in the Father, and the Father lives in me, or at least believe because of the evidence provided by all that I've done.
ܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܒܐܒܝ ܘܐܒܝ ܒܝ ܘܐܠܐ ܐܦܢ ܡܛܠ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ
12 I tell you the truth, anyone who trusts in me will do the same things I am doing. In fact they will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܢܥܒܕ ܘܕܝܬܝܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܐܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ
13 I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son.
ܘܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܒܫܡܝ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܐܒܐ ܒܒܪܗ
14 Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it.
ܘܐܢ ܬܫܐܠܘܢܢܝ ܒܫܡܝ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕܢܐ
15 If you love me, you will keep my commands.
ܐܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܝ ܛܪܘ
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, (aiōn g165)
ܘܐܢܐ ܐܒܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܦܪܩܠܛܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܠܥܠܡ (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, who will always be with you. The world cannot accept him because it isn't looking for him and does not know him. But you know him because he lives with you and will be in you.
ܪܘܚܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܩܒܠܘܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܗ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܡܪ ܘܒܟܘܢ ܗܘ
18 I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
ܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܝܬܡܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܚܪܝܢ
19 Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
ܘܥܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܚܝ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܚܘܢ
20 On that day you will know that I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.
ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܒܐܒܝ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ
21 Those who keep my commands are the ones who love me, those who love me will be loved by my Father. I will love them too, and will reveal myself to them.”
ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܦܘܩܕܢܝ ܘܢܛܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܚܒ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܠܝ ܢܬܪܚܡ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܪܚܡܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܚܘܝܘܗܝ ܢܦܫܝ
22 Judas (not Iscariot) responded, “Lord, why would you reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܠܢ ܥܬܝܕ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܚܘܝܘ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
23 Jesus replied, “Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܠܝ ܡܠܬܝ ܢܛܪ ܘܐܒܝ ܢܪܚܡܝܘܗܝ ܘܠܘܬܗ ܐܬܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܘܐܘܢܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܚܢܢ
24 Those who don't love me don't do what I say. These words don't come from me, they come from the Father who sent me.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܪܚܡ ܠܝ ܡܠܬܝ ܠܐ ܢܛܪ ܘܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
25 I'm explaining this to you while I'm still here with you.
ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܬܝ
26 But when the Father sends the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, in my place, he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܪܩܠܛܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܫܕܪ ܐܒܝ ܒܫܡܝ ܗܘ ܢܠܦܟܘܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܗܘ ܢܥܗܕܟܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ
27 Peace I leave you; my peace I'm giving you. The peace I give you is nothing like what the world gives. Don't let your minds be anxious, and don't be afraid.
ܫܠܡܐ ܫܒܩ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܬܕܘܕ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܕܚܠ
28 You've heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, but I will come back to you.’ If you really loved me, you would be happy because I'm going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܠܘ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܚܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܕܐܒܝ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܡܢܝ
29 I've explained this to you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will be convinced.
ܘܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ
30 I can't talk to you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no power to control me,
ܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܪܟܘܢܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܘܒܝ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܕܡ
31 but I'm doing what my Father told me to do so that the world will know that I love the Father. Now get up. Let's go.”
ܐܠܐ ܕܢܕܥ ܥܠܡܐ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܒܝ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܦܩܕܢܝ ܐܒܝ ܗܟܘܬ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܩܘܡܘ ܢܐܙܠ ܡܟܐ
