< John 16 >

1 "I have said all these things to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.
ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܟܫܠܘܢ
2 They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering a service to God.
ܢܦܩܘܢܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܘܬܐܬܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܟܠ ܕܢܩܛܘܠܟܘܢ ܢܤܒܪ ܕܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܡܩܪܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.
ܘܗܠܝܢ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܠܝ
4 But I have told you these things, so that when their hour 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 But now I am going to him who sent me, and 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 told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܐܬܬ ܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܠܬ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper won't come to you. But if I 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 When he has come, 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 about sin, because they do not believe in me;
ܥܠ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܝ
10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you won't see me any more;
ܥܠ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܘܒ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ
11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
ܥܠ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ
12 "I have yet many things to tell you, but you cannot bear them now.
ܬܘܒ ܤܓܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܚܕ ܗܫܐ
13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own; but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you 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, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
ܘܗܘ ܢܫܒܚܢܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܕܝܠܝ ܢܤܒ ܘܢܚܘܝܟܘܢ
15 All things that the Father has are mine; that is why I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.
ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܐܒܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܗܘ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܝܠܝ ܢܤܒ ܘܢܚܘܝܟܘܢ
16 A little while, and you will no longer see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."
ܩܠܝܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ ܘܬܘܒ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܬܚܙܘܢܢܝ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ
17 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go 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 kept asking, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We do not know what he is saying."
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ
19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and 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 Truly, truly, I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܒܟܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܬܐܠܘܢ ܘܥܠܡܐ ܢܚܕܐ ܘܠܟܘܢ ܬܟܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܪܝܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܚܕܘܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ
21 A woman, when she gives birth, has pain, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she does not remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is 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 Therefore you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܟܪܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܙܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܚܕܐ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܘܚܕܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܤܒ ܡܢܟܘܢ
23 "And in that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
ܘܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܠܐܒܝ ܒܫܡܝ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ
24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܠܐ ܫܐܠܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܒܫܡܝ ܫܐܠܘ ܘܬܤܒܘܢ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܚܕܘܬܟܘܢ ܡܫܡܠܝܐ
25 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but 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, and I am not saying to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf,
ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܒܫܡܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܒܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܒܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved 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 came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
ܢܦܩܬ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ ܘܐܬܝܬ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܬܘܒ ܫܒܩ ܐܢܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ
29 His disciples said to him, "Look, now you are speaking plainly and not in any figure of speech.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܐ ܗܫܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܘܦܠܐܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ
30 Now we know that you know all things and do not 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 now believe?
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘ
32 Look, the time is coming, and has come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. But 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 told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up. I have overcome the world."
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܐܢܐ ܙܟܝܬܗ ܠܥܠܡܐ
