John 16
1 “I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.
yuSmAkaM yathA vAdhA na jAyatE tadarthaM yuSmAn EtAni sarvvavAkyAni vyAharaM|
2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
lOkA yuSmAn bhajanagRhEbhyO dUrIkariSyanti tathA yasmin samayE yuSmAn hatvA Izvarasya tuSTi janakaM karmmAkurmma iti maMsyantE sa samaya Agacchanti|
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
tE pitaraM mAnjca na jAnanti, tasmAd yuSmAn pratIdRzam AcariSyanti|
4 But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
atO hEtAH samayE samupasthitE yathA mama kathA yuSmAkaM manaHsuH samupatiSThati tadarthaM yuSmAbhyam EtAM kathAM kathayAmi yuSmAbhiH sArddham ahaM tiSThan prathamaM tAM yuSmabhyaM nAkathayaM|
5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
sAmprataM svasya prErayituH samIpaM gacchAmi tathApi tvaM kka gacchasi kathAmEtAM yuSmAkaM kOpi mAM na pRcchati|
6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
kintu mayOktAbhirAbhiH kathAbhi ryUSmAkam antaHkaraNAni duHkhEna pUrNAnyabhavan|
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
tathApyahaM yathArthaM kathayAmi mama gamanaM yuSmAkaM hitArthamEva, yatO hEtO rgamanE na kRtE sahAyO yuSmAkaM samIpaM nAgamiSyati kintu yadi gacchAmi tarhi yuSmAkaM samIpE taM prESayiSyAmi|
8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
tataH sa Agatya pApapuNyadaNPESu jagatO lOkAnAM prabOdhaM janayiSyati|
9 about sin, because they don’t believe in me;
tE mayi na vizvasanti tasmAddhEtOH pApaprabOdhaM janayiSyati|
10 about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
yuSmAkam adRzyaH sannahaM pituH samIpaM gacchAmi tasmAd puNyE prabOdhaM janayiSyati|
11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
EtajjagatO'dhipati rdaNPAjnjAM prApnOti tasmAd daNPE prabOdhaM janayiSyati|
12 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.
yuSmabhyaM kathayituM mamAnEkAH kathA AsatE, tAH kathA idAnIM yUyaM sOPhuM na zaknutha;
13 However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
kintu satyamaya AtmA yadA samAgamiSyati tadA sarvvaM satyaM yuSmAn nESyati, sa svataH kimapi na vadiSyati kintu yacchrOSyati tadEva kathayitvA bhAvikAryyaM yuSmAn jnjApayiSyati|
14 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.
mama mahimAnaM prakAzayiSyati yatO madIyAM kathAM gRhItvA yuSmAn bOdhayiSyati|
15 All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.
pitu ryadyad AstE tat sarvvaM mama tasmAd kAraNAd avAdiSaM sa madIyAM kathAM gRhItvA yuSmAn bOdhayiSyati|
16 “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”
kiyatkAlAt paraM yUyaM mAM draSTuM na lapsyadhvE kintu kiyatkAlAt paraM puna rdraSTuM lapsyadhvE yatOhaM pituH samIpaM gacchAmi|
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’?”
tataH ziSyANAM kiyantO janAH parasparaM vaditum Arabhanta, kiyatkAlAt paraM mAM draSTuM na lapsyadhvE kintu kiyatkAlAt paraM puna rdraSTuM lapsyadhvE yatOhaM pituH samIpaM gacchAmi, iti yad vAkyam ayaM vadati tat kiM?
18 They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”
tataH kiyatkAlAt param iti tasya vAkyaM kiM? tasya vAkyasyAbhiprAyaM vayaM bOddhuM na zaknumastairiti
19 Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and 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’?
nigaditE yIzustESAM praznEcchAM jnjAtvA tEbhyO'kathayat kiyatkAlAt paraM mAM draSTuM na lapsyadhvE, kintu kiyatkAlAt paraM pUna rdraSTuM lapsyadhvE, yAmimAM kathAmakathayaM tasyA abhiprAyaM kiM yUyaM parasparaM mRgayadhvE?
20 Most certainly 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.
yuSmAnaham atiyathArthaM vadAmi yUyaM krandiSyatha vilapiSyatha ca, kintu jagatO lOkA AnandiSyanti; yUyaM zOkAkulA bhaviSyatha kintu zOkAt paraM AnandayuktA bhaviSyatha|
21 A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
prasavakAla upasthitE nArI yathA prasavavEdanayA vyAkulA bhavati kintu putrE bhUmiSThE sati manuSyaikO janmanA naralOkE praviSTa ityAnandAt tasyAstatsarvvaM duHkhaM manasi na tiSThati,
22 Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
tathA yUyamapi sAmprataM zOkAkulA bhavatha kintu punarapi yuSmabhyaM darzanaM dAsyAmi tEna yuSmAkam antaHkaraNAni sAnandAni bhaviSyanti, yuSmAkaM tam Anandanjca kOpi harttuM na zakSyati|
23 “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
tasmin divasE kAmapi kathAM mAM na prakSyatha| yuSmAnaham atiyathArthaM vadAmi, mama nAmnA yat kinjcid pitaraM yAciSyadhvE tadEva sa dAsyati|
24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
pUrvvE mama nAmnA kimapi nAyAcadhvaM, yAcadhvaM tataH prApsyatha tasmAd yuSmAkaM sampUrNAnandO janiSyatE|
25 “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
upamAkathAbhiH sarvvANyEtAni yuSmAn jnjApitavAn kintu yasmin samayE upamayA nOktvA pituH kathAM spaSTaM jnjApayiSyAmi samaya EtAdRza Agacchati|
26 In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,
tadA mama nAmnA prArthayiSyadhvE 'haM yuSmannimittaM pitaraM vinESyE kathAmimAM na vadAmi;
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.
yatO yUyaM mayi prEma kurutha, tathAham Izvarasya samIpAd AgatavAn ityapi pratItha, tasmAd kAraNAt kAraNAt pitA svayaM yuSmAsu prIyatE|
28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”
pituH samIpAjjajad AgatOsmi jagat parityajya ca punarapi pituH samIpaM gacchAmi|
29 His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.
tadA ziSyA avadan, hE prabhO bhavAn upamayA nOktvAdhunA spaSTaM vadati|
30 Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”

31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
tatO yIzuH pratyavAdId idAnIM kiM yUyaM vizvasitha?
32 Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
