< John 16 >

1 These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:
These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye be not sclaundrid.
2 Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God!
Thei schulen make you with outen the synagogis, but the our cometh, that ech man that sleeth you, deme that he doith seruyce to God.
3 And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.
And thei schulen do to you these thingis, for thei han not knowun the fadir, nether me.
4 But, these things, have I told you, —That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, from the beginning, because I was, with you;
But these thingis Y spak to you, that whanne the our `of hem schal come, ye haue mynde, that Y seide to you.
5 But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me—Whither goest thou?
Y seide not to you these thingis fro the bigynnyng, for Y was with you. And now Y go to hym that sente me, and no man of you axith me, Whidur `thou goist?
6 But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.
but for Y haue spokun to you these thingis, heuynesse hath fulfillid youre herte.
7 But, I, the truth, am telling you—It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you.
But Y seie to you treuthe, it spedith to you, that Y go; for if Y go not forth, the coumfortour schal not come to you; but if Y go forth, Y schal sende hym to you.
8 And, having come, He, will reprove the world—Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:
And whanne he cometh, he schal repreue the world of synne, and of riytwisnesse, and of doom.
9 Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;
Of synne, for thei han not bileued in me;
10 But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me;
and of riytwisnesse, for Y go to the fadir, and now ye schulen not se me;
11 And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged.
but of doom, for the prince of this world is now demed.
12 Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying, —but ye cannot bear them, just now;
Yit Y haue many thingis for to seie to you, but ye moun not bere hem now.
13 Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come—The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth, he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you.
But whanne thilke spirit of treuthe cometh, he schal teche you al trewthe; for he schal not speke of hym silf, but what euer thinges he schal here, he schal speke; and he schal telle to you tho thingis that ben to come.
14 He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
He schal clarifie me, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.
15 All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I—Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
Alle thingis `whiche euer the fadir hath, ben myne; therfor Y seide to you, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.
16 A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.
A litil, and thanne ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir.
17 Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another—What is this which he is saying to us: —A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and—Because I go my way unto the Father?
Therfor summe of hise disciplis seiden togidere, What is this thing that he seith to vs, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir?
18 They were saying, therefore—What is this which he saith: —A little while? We know not [what he is saying].
Therfor thei seiden, What is this that he seith to vs, A litil? we witen not what he spekith.
19 Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them—Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another, —because I said: —A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
And Jhesus knew, that thei wolden axe hym, and he seide to hem, Of this thing ye seken among you, for Y seide, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you—Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned.
Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, that ye schulen mourne and wepe, but the world schal haue ioye; and ye schulen be soreuful, but youre sorewe schal turne in to ioye.
21 A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born.
A womman whanne sche berith child, hath heuynesse, for hir tyme is comun; but whanne sche hath borun a sone, now sche thenkith not on the peyne, for ioye, for a man is borun in to the world.
22 And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice, —and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.
And therfor ye han now sorew, but eftsoone Y schal se you, and youre herte schal haue ioie, and no man schal take fro you youre ioie.
23 And, in that day, shall ye request me, nothing: —Verily, verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name.
And in that day ye schulen not axe me ony thing; treuli, treuli, `Y seie to you, if ye axen the fadir ony thing in my name, he schal yyue to you.
24 Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive, —that, your joy, may be made full.
`Til now ye axiden no thing in my name; `axe ye, `and ye schulen take, that youre ioie be ful.
25 These things, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning the Father, will I tell you.
Y haue spokun to you these thingis in prouerbis; the our cometh, whanne now Y schal not speke to you in prouerbis, but opynli of my fadir Y schal telle to you.
26 In that day, In my name, shall ye ask: —and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;
In that dai ye schulen axe in my name; and Y seie not to you, that Y schal preye the fadir of you;
27 For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth: —
for the fadir hym silf loueth you, for ye han loued me, and han bileued, that Y wente out fro God.
28 I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world, —Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.
Y wente out fro the fadir, and Y cam in to the world; eftsoone Y leeue the world, and Y go to the fadir.
29 His disciples say—See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:
Hise disciplis seiden to hym, Lo! now thou spekist opynli, and thou seist no prouerbe.
30 Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth.
Now we witen, that thou wost alle thingis; and it is not nede to thee, that ony man axe thee. In this thing we bileuen, that thou wentist out fro God.
31 Jesus answered them—As yet, ye believe:
Jhesus answeride to hem, Now ye bileuen.
32 Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; —And yet I am not, alone, but, the Father, is, with me!
Lo! the our cometh, and now it cometh, that ye be disparplid, ech in to hise owne thingis, and that ye leeue me aloone; and Y am not aloone, for the fadir is with me.
33 These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage, —I, have overcome the world.
These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye haue pees in me; in the world ye schulen haue disese, but trust ye, Y haue ouercomun the world.
