< John 16 >

1 These things I have spoken to you that not you may fall away.
“Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio mothe nĩgeetha mũtikanae gũtiganĩria wĩtĩkio.
2 Out of the synagogues they will put you; but is coming an hour that everyone who having killed you may think [it is] a service to offer to God.
Nĩmakamũingata thunagogi-inĩ; na ũhoro wa ma nĩ atĩ, kũrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgũũka rĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe ũkaamũũraga ageciiragia atĩ nĩ Ngai aratungatĩra.
3 And these things they will do (to you *k) because not they know the Father nor Me myself.
Mageekaga maũndũ macio nĩ ũndũ matimenyete Baba o na kana makaamenya.
4 But these things I have said to you, so that when may have come the hour (of them, *no) you may remember those [things] that I myself said to you. These things now to you from [the] beginning not I said, because with you I was.
Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio nĩgeetha hĩndĩ ĩyo yakinya mũkaaririkana atĩ nĩndamwĩrĩte. Ndiamwĩrire maũndũ macio kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ tondũ ndaarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.
5 Now however I go to the [One] having sent Me, and none of you asks Me; Where are You going?
“Rĩu nĩngũthiĩ kũrĩ ũrĩa wandũmire. No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũranjũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrathiĩ kũ?’
6 But because these things I have said to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Mwaiyũrwo nĩ kĩeha nĩ tondũ nĩndamwĩra maũndũ macio.
7 But I myself the truth say to you; it is profitable for you that I myself may go away; only for (I myself *o) unless I shall go away, the Helper (not will come *NK+o) to you; if however I shall go, I will send Him to you.
No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩ kwagĩrĩire niĩ thiĩ nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Tondũ ndaaga gũthiĩ, Mũteithia ndagooka kũrĩ inyuĩ. No ndaathiĩ, nĩngamũtũma oke kũrĩ inyuĩ.
8 And having come He will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment.
Nake oka, nĩakaiguithia andũ a gũkũ thĩ ũrĩa mahĩtĩtie ũhoro-inĩ wa mehia, na ũhoro-inĩ wa ũthingu, o na ũhoro-inĩ wa ciira:
9 concerning sin indeed, because not do they believe in Me myself;
Nĩmahĩtĩtie ũhoro-inĩ wa mehia, nĩgũkorwo andũ matinjĩtĩkĩtie;
10 concerning righteousness however, because to the Father (of mine *k) I go away, and no longer no longer you behold Me;
nĩmahĩtĩtie ũhoro-inĩ wa ũthingu, nĩgũkorwo ndĩrathiĩ kũrĩ Baba kũrĩa mũtangĩcooka kũnyona;
11 concerning now judgment, because the ruler of the world this has been judged.
na nĩmahĩtĩtie ũhoro-inĩ wa ciira tondũ mũnene wa gũkũ thĩ nĩarĩkĩtie gũtuĩrwo ciira.
12 Yet many things I have to you to say but not you are able to bear them now.
“Ndĩ na maũndũ mangĩ maingĩ ma kũmwĩra, makĩria ya marĩa mũngĩhota kũũmĩrĩria rĩu.
13 When however may come He, the Spirit of truth, He will guide you (into the truth all. *N+kO) not for He will speak from Himself, but as much as (maybe *k) (He will hear *N+k+o) He will speak and the [things] coming He will declare to you.
No rĩrĩ, Roho Mũtheru ũcio wa ma oka, nĩakamũtongoria ũhoro-inĩ ũrĩa wa ma wothe. Ndakaaragia ũhoro wake mwene; akaaragia ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa aiguĩte, ningĩ nĩakamwĩra ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa magooka thuutha.
14 He Me myself will glorify, for from that which [is] Mine He will take and will disclose to you.
Nĩakangoocithia nĩgũkorwo nĩakamũmenyithia ũhoro wakwa ũrĩa arutĩte kuuma kũrĩ niĩ.
15 All things as much as has the Father Mine are; because of this I said that from that which [is] Mine (He receives *N+kO) and will disclose to you.
Maũndũ mothe ma Baba nĩ makwa. Nĩkĩo ndamwĩra atĩ Roho nĩakamũmenyithia ũhoro wakwa ũrĩa arutĩte kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, mũũmenye.
16 A little [while] and (no longer no longer *N+KO) you do behold Me, and again a little [while] and you will behold Me (that I myself I am going to Father. *K)
“Thuutha wa kahinda kanini mũtikũnyona rĩngĩ na ningĩ thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩmũkũnyona.”
17 Said therefore [some] of the disciples of him to one another; What is this that He says to us; A little [while] and not you do behold Me, and again a little [while] and you will behold Me’? and Because (I myself *k) I am going to the Father’?
Amwe a arutwo ake makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Arenda kuuga atĩa rĩrĩa aroiga atĩ, ‘Thuutha wa kahinda kanini mũtikũnyona rĩngĩ na ningĩ atĩ thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩmũkũnyona’, ningĩ atĩ ‘Tondũ ndĩrathiĩ kũrĩ Baba?’”
18 They were saying therefore; what is This that He says a little [while]’? Not we do know what He is saying.
Magĩthiĩ na mbere kũũrania atĩrĩ, “Arenda kuuga atĩa rĩrĩa aroiga atĩ, ‘Kahinda kanini’? Ithuĩ tũtiramenya ũrĩa aroiga.”
19 Knew (therefore *K) Jesus that they were desiring Him to ask, and He said to them; Concerning this do you inquire among one another that I said; A little [while] and not you do behold Me, and again a little [while] and you will behold Me’?
Nake Jesũ akĩona atĩ nĩmendaga kũmũũria ũhoro ũcio, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũũrania mũrorania ũrĩa ngwendaga kuuga rĩrĩa njugire atĩ ‘Thuutha wa kahinda kanini mũtikũnyona rĩngĩ, na ningĩ thuutha wa kahinda kanini nĩmũkũnyona’?
20 Amen Amen I say to you that you will weep and will lament you yourselves, but the world will rejoice; You yourselves (now *k) will be grieved, but the grief of you to joy will turn.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũkaarĩra na mũcakae rĩrĩa andũ a thĩ marakena. Inyuĩ mũkanyiitwo nĩ kĩeha, no kĩeha, kĩanyu nĩgĩkagarũrũka gĩtuĩke gĩkeno.
21 The woman when she may be giving birth pain has, because has come the hour of her; when however she may bring forth the child, no longer no longer she remembers the tribulation on account of the joy that has been born a man into the world.
Mũndũ-wa-nja agĩciara nĩakoragwo na ruo tondũ hĩndĩ yake nĩ nginyu; no aarĩkia gũciara kaana, akariganĩrwo nĩ ruo nĩ ũndũ wa gũkena nĩgũkorwo kaana nĩ gaaciarwo gũkũ thĩ.
22 Also you yourselves therefore now indeed grief have, again however I will see you and will rejoice your heart, and the joy of you no [one] (do take *NK+o) from you,
O na inyuĩ noguo: Rĩu nĩ ihinda rĩanyu rĩa kĩeha, no nĩngamuona rĩngĩ na nĩmũgakena, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũkaamũtunya gĩkeno kĩu.
23 And in that [very] day of Me myself not you will ask no [thing]. Amen Amen I say to you; (that *k) maybe (whatever *N+kO) you may ask the Father in the name of Me He will give to you.
Mũthenya ũcio wakinya mũtigacooka kũnjũũria ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Baba nĩakamũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe mũkaahooya thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
24 Until now not you have asked no [thing] in the name of Me; do ask and you will receive, that the joy of you may be filled.
Nginyagia rĩu mũtirĩ mwahooya ũndũ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Hooyai na nĩmũkũheo, nĩguo gĩkeno kĩanyu gĩkinyanĩre.
25 These things in allegories I have spoken to you; (but *K) is coming an hour when no longer no longer in allegories I will speak to you but plainly concerning the Father (I will announce *N+kO) to you.
“O na gũtuĩka ngoretwo ngĩaria na ngerekano-rĩ, hĩndĩ nĩĩroka rĩrĩa itagacooka kũmwarĩria na njĩra ĩyo, no ngaamwĩraga ũhoro wa Baba itekũhithĩrĩra.
26 In that [very] day in the name of Me you will ask; and not I say to you that I myself will implore the Father for you;
Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũkahooyaga thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Ndiroiga atĩ nĩngahooyaga Baba ithenya rĩanyu.
27 Himself for the Father loves you, because you yourselves Me myself have loved and have believed that I myself from (God *NK+O) came forth.
No rĩrĩ, Baba we mwene nĩamwendete, nĩgũkorwo inyuĩ nĩmũnyendete, na nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ ndoimire kũrĩ Ngai.
28 I came forth (from with *NK+o) the Father and have come into the world; again I leave the world and go to the Father.
Niĩ ndoimire kũrĩ Baba, ngĩũka gũkũ thĩ; na rĩu nĩnguuma gũkũ thĩ, njooke kũrĩ Baba.”
29 Say (to him *k) the disciples of Him; Behold now (in *no) openness You speak and allegory no [thing] speak.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo a Jesũ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩũratũhe ũhoro wega, ũtekwaria na ngerekano.
30 Now we know that You know all things and not need have that anyone You may ask. In this we believe that from God You came forth.
Rĩu nĩtwamenya atĩ wee nĩũũĩ maũndũ mothe, na atĩ o na ndũbataire mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ akũũrie ciũria. Ũhoro ũcio nĩwatũma twĩtĩkie atĩ woimĩte kũrĩ Ngai.”
31 Answered to them Jesus; Now do you believe?
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩmwetĩkia!
32 Behold is coming an hour and (now *k) has come when you may be scattered each to [his] own and I and I alone you may leave; yet not I am alone, for the Father with Me is.
No hĩndĩ nĩĩroka, na nĩnginyu, rĩrĩa mũkahurunjũka, o mũndũ athiĩ gwake mũciĩ. Mũkaandiga ndĩ nyiki, no ndirĩ nyiki, nĩgũkorwo Baba arĩ hamwe na niĩ.
33 These things I have spoken to you so that in Me myself peace you may have. In the world tribulation you have; But take courage! I myself have overcome the world.
“Ndamwĩra maũndũ macio nĩgeetha mũgĩe na thayũ thĩinĩ wakwa. Gũkũ thĩ nĩmũrĩonaga thĩĩna. No ũmĩrĩriai! Niĩ nĩndooretie thĩ.”
