Jan 14
1 Jezi di yo: Pa kite bagay sa yo toumante nou. Mete konfyans nou nan Bondye, mete konfyans nou nan mwen tou.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 Lakay Papa a gen anpil kote pou moun rete. Mwen pral pare plas pou nou. Si se pa t' vre, mwen pa ta di nou sa.
In my Father’s home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 Lè m'a fin pare plas la pou nou, m'a tounen vin chache nou. Konsa, kote m'a ye a, se la n'a ye tou.
And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
4 Nou konnen chemen ki mennen kote m' prale a.
and you know the way to the place where I am going.’
5 Toma di li: Seyè, nou pa konnen kote ou prale a. Ki jan ou ta vle pou nou konnen chemen pou n' pran an?
‘We do not know where you are going, Master,’ said Thomas. ‘So how can we know the way?’
6 Jezi reponn li: Se mwen menm ki chemen an. Se mwen menm ki verite a, se mwen menm ki lavi a. Pesonn pa ka al jwenn Papa a si li pa pase nan mwen.
Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
7 Si nou konnen m', n'a konn Papa m' tou. Men, depi koulye a nou konnen l', nou wè l' tou.
If you had recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.’
8 Filip di l' konsa: Seyè, moutre nou Papa a. Se sa ase nou bezwen.
‘Master, show us the Father,’ said Philip, ‘and we will be satisfied.’
9 Jezi reponn li: Depi tout tan sa a mwen la avè nou, Filip, ou poko konnen m' toujou? Moun ki wè m', li wè Papa a. Ki jan ou ka fè di: Moutre m' Papa a?
‘Have I been all this time among you,’ said Jesus, ‘and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? The person who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, “Show us the Father”?
10 Gen lè ou pa kwè mwen nan Papa a? Ou pa kwè Papa a nan mwen tou? Tout pawòl mwen di nou yo, se pa nan mwen yo soti. Papa a ki fè yonn ak mwen an, se li menm k'ap fè travay li.
Don’t you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work.
11 Se pou nou kwè m' lè m' di nou: Mwen nan Papa a, Papa a nan mwen tou. Osinon, se pou nou kwè akòz sa m'ap fè a.
Believe me,’ he said to them all, ‘when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me because of the work itself.
12 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Moun ki mete konfyans li nan mwen, li gen pou l' fè tou sa m'ap fè a. La menm rive fè pi gwo bagay toujou, paske mwen pral jwenn Papa a.
In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me will themselves do the work that I am doing; and they will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
13 Tou sa n'a mande nan non m', m'a fè l' pou nou, pou Pitit la ka fè wè pouvwa Papa a.
Whatever you ask, in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
14 (Nenpòt kisa n'a mande nan non m', m'a fè l' pou nou.)
If you ask anything, in my name, I will do it.
15 Si nou renmen m', se pou n' obeyi kòmandman m' yo.
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 M'ap mande Papa a pou l' ban nou yon lòt moun pou ankouraje nou, pou li ka toujou la avèk nou, se Sentespri k'ap moutre nou verite a. (aiōn g165)
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you always – the Spirit of truth. (aiōn g165)
17 Moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn pa ka resevwa l', paske yo pa ka wè l', ni yo pa ka konnen li. Men nou menm, nou konnen l' paske li rete nan kè nou, paske li nan nou.
The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 Mwen p'ap kite nou pou kont nou: M'ap tounen vin jwenn nou ankò.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 Anvan lontan ankò, lemonn p'ap wè m', men nou menm n'a wè mwen. Paske m'ap viv, nou menm tou n'ap viv.
In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
20 Lè jou sa a va rive, n'a konnen mwen nan Papa a, nou menm nou nan mwen, epi mwen menm mwen nan nou.
At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
21 Moun ki asepte kòmandman m' yo, ki obeyi yo, se moun sa a ki renmen mwen. Papa m' va renmen moun ki renmen mwen. Mwen menm tou, m'a renmen l', epi m'a fè l' wè mwen.
It is they who have my commands and lays them to heart who loves me; and the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them, and will reveal myself to them.’
22 Jid (se pa Jida Iskariòt la non) di l' konsa: Seyè, ki jan pou ou fè nou wè ou san pou moun k'ap viv dapre prensip lemonn yo pa wè ou?
‘What has happened, Master,’ said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), ‘that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?’
23 Jezi reponn li: Moun ki renmen m', se li menm ki va fè tou sa m' di l' fè. Papa m' va renmen l' tou. Papa m' va vin jwenn li ansanm avè m', n'a viv nan li.
‘Whoever loves me,’ Jesus answered, ‘will lay my message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Moun ki pa renmen m', li p'ap fè tou sa m' di l' fè. Tou sa nou tande m'ap di a, se pa nan mwen yo soti, men se nan Papa m' ki voye m' lan yo soti.
The person who does not love me will not lay my message to heart; and the message to which you are listening is not my own, but comes from the Father who sent me.
25 Mwen di nou tou sa antan m' la ankò avèk nou.
I have told you all this while still with you,
26 Moun ki pou vin ankouraje nou an, se Sentespri. Se Papa m' k'ap voye l' nan non mwen. Sentespri sa a va moutre nou tout bagay, la fè nou chonje tou sa m' te di nou.
but the helper – the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name – will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
27 M'ap ban nou kè poze. M'ap fè kè nou poze nan jan pa mwen. Mwen p'ap fè li pou nou jan sa fèt dapre prensip ki nan lemonn. Pa kite anyen toumante tèt nou, nou pa bezwen pè.
Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
28 Nou tande m' di nou: Mwen prale, men m'ap tounen vin jwenn nou. Si nou te renmen m', nou ta kontan konnen mwen pral jwenn Papa a, paske Papa a gen plis pouvwa pase mwen.
You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 Mwen tou di nou sa koulye a anvan bagay sa yo rive, pou lè yo rive nou ka kwè.
And this I have told you now before it happens, so that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 Mwen p'ap pale anpil ankò avè nou, paske chèf k'ap dominen lemonn lan ap vini. Li pa gen okenn pouvwa sou mwen.
I will not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
31 Men, se pou tout moun sou latè konnen mwen renmen Papa m'. Wi, fòk yo konnen m'ap fè sa Papa m' te ban m' lòd fè a. Leve non. Ann sot isit la.
but he is coming so that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
