John 14
1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “Stop being anxious/worried. Keep on trusting in God (OR, You are trusting in God); also keep trusting in me.
| «لا تَضْطَرِبْ قُلُوبُكُمْ. أَنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ، فَآمِنُوا بِي أَيْضاً. | ١ |
2 Where my Father is [in heaven] there is plenty of room! If that were not true, I would have told you. I am about to go [there] to prepare a place for you.
| فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي مَنَازِلُ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَلَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الأَمْرُ كَذلِكَ لَقُلْتُ لَكُمْ! فَإِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ لأُعِدَّ لَكُمْ مَكَاناً. | ٢ |
3 And because I will go [there] and prepare a place for you, I will return and take you there to be with me. I will do that so that you may also be where I am.
| وَبَعْدَمَا أَذْهَبُ وَأُعِدُّ لَكُمُ الْمَكَانَ أَعُودُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَآخُذُكُمْ إِلَيَّ، لِتَكُونُوا حَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا. | ٣ |
4 You know the road to the place where I am going.”
| أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ أَيْنَ أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ، وَتَعْرِفُونَ الطَّرِيقَ». | ٤ |
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. [So] how can we know the road?”
| فَقَالَ تُومَا: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَا نَعْرِفُ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ، فَكَيْفَ نَعْرِفُ الطَّرِيقَ؟» | ٥ |
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the road [MET] [to where my Father is]. I am the [one who reveals] [MET] the truth [about God] and the [one who gives eternal] life [to people]. I am the only one who can [enable people] to come to [my] Father. There is no other way.
| فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الطَّرِيقُ وَالْحَقُّ وَالْحَيَاةُ. لَا يَأْتِي أَحَدٌ إِلَى الآبِ إِلّا بِي. | ٦ |
7 If you [really] knew who I was, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and [it is as though] you have seen him.”
| إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمُونِي، فَقَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ أَبِي أَيْضاً، وَمُنْذُ الآنَ تَعْرِفُونَهُ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ». | ٧ |
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ فِيلِبُّسُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَرِنَا الآبَ وَكَفَانَا!» | ٨ |
9 Jesus said to him, “Philip, I have been with you for a long time. So (surely you should know who I [really am]!/why have you not come to know who I [really am]?) [RHQ] Those who have seen me, [it is as though] they have seen [my] Father. So (why do you say ‘Show us [your] Father’?/you should not say ‘Show us [your] Father’!) [RHQ]
| فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَضَتْ هذِهِ الْمُدَّةُ الطَّوِيلَةُ وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ وَلَمْ تَعْرِفْنِي يَا فِيلِبُّسُ؟ الَّذِي رَآنِي رَأَى الآبَ، فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُ: أَرِنَا الآبَ؟ | ٩ |
10 Do you not [RHQ] believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father, and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me? The messages that I tell you do not come from me. They come from my Father, who has a close relationship with me. He is enabling me to [teach these things, and] to perform the miracles that he [wants me to perform].
| أَلا تُؤْمِنُ أَنِّي أَنَا فِي الآبِ، وَأَنَّ الآبَ فِيَّ؟ الْكَلامُ الَّذِي أَقُولُهُ لَا أَقُولُهُ مِنْ عِنْدِي، وَإِنَّمَا الآبُ الْحَالُّ فِيَّ هُوَ يَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَهُ هذِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 Believe that I have a close relationship with [my] Father and that [my] Father has a close relationship with me. If you do not believe that just because of what I say, believe it because of the miracles themselves [that I have done].
| صَدِّقُوا قَوْلِي: إِنِّيِ أَنَا فِي الآبِ وَإِنَّ الآبَ فِيَّ، وَإلَّا فَصَدِّقُونِي بِسَبَبِ تِلْكَ الأَعْمَالِ. | ١١ |
12 Listen to this carefully: [You] who trust in me will do the [kinds of] miracles [that I have done]. [Because of what I will do for you] (OR, [Because I will send God’s Spirit to you]) after I go to my Father, you will be able to do [miracles] that will be greater than [the ones I have done].
| الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِي يَعْمَلُ الأَعْمَالَ الَّتِي أَنَا أَعْمَلُهَا، بَلْ يَعْمَلُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهَا، لأَنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى أَبِي. | ١٢ |
13 And whatever you, using my authority, ask me to do, I will do it, in order that I can show [you] how great [my] Father is.
| فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ تَطْلُبُونَهُ بِاسْمِي أَفْعَلُهُ لَكُمْ، لِيَتَمَجَّدَ الآبُ فِي الاِبْنِ. | ١٣ |
14 Anything that you ask [my Father to do, anything that you ask] with my [authority] [MTY], I will do.”
| إِنْ طَلَبْتُمْ شَيْئاً بِاسْمِي، فَإِنِّي أَفْعَلُهُ. | ١٤ |
15 “If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
| إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَنِي فَاعْمَلُوا بِوَصَايَايَ. | ١٥ |
16 Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn g165)
| وَسَوْفَ أَطْلُبُ مِنَ الآبِ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكُمْ مُعِيناً آخَرَ يَبْقَى مَعَكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، (aiōn g165) | ١٦ |
17 [I am talking about] the Spirit, who [will teach you God’s] truth. He will be with you forever. Those who are opposed to God [MTY] cannot receive him, because they cannot understand what he [does], and they cannot know who he is. But you know who he is, because he is with you and he will be inside you.
| وَهُوَ رُوحُ الْحَقِّ، الَّذِي لَا يَقْدِرُ الْعَالَمُ أَنْ يَتَقَبَّلَهُ لأَنَّهُ لَا يَرَاهُ وَلا يَعْرِفُهُ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَعْرِفُونَهُ لأَنَّهُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، وَسَيَكُونُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ. | ١٧ |
18 [When I leave you], I will not let you be alone/helpless [MET]. [When I send the Spirit, it will be like] I am coming back to you (OR, [When I rise from the dead], I will come back to you.)
| لَنْ أَتْرُكَكُمْ يَتَامَى، بَلْ سَأَعُودُ إِلَيْكُمْ. | ١٨ |
19 Soon those who do not belong to God [MTY] will not see me any more. But [when the Spirit comes to you, it will be as though] you will be seeing me again (OR, But [after I become alive again], you will see me again.) Because I will be alive again, you also will have [eternal] life.
| بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ لَا يَرَانِي الْعَالَمُ. أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ تَرَوْنَنِي. وَلأَنِّي أَنَا حَيٌّ، فَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً سَتَحْيَوْنَ. | ١٩ |
20 At that time you will know that I have a close relationship with my Father, and you will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with you.
| فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا فِي أَبِي، وَأَنْتُمْ فِيَّ، وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 Those who have accepted my commands and obey them are the people who love me. My Father will love those who love me. I also will love them, and I will fully reveal to them [what I am like].”
| مَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ وَصَايَايَ، وَيَعْمَلُ بِها، فَذَاكَ يُحِبُّنِي. وَالَّذِي يُحِبُّنِي، يُحِبُّهُ أَبِي، وَأَنَا أُحِبُّهُ وأُعْلِنُ لَهُ ذَاتِي». | ٢١ |
22 Then Judas spoke to him. He was not Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), [but instead a disciple whose other name was Thaddeus]. He said, “Lord, what has happened so that you can fully reveal to us what you are like, and not reveal that to those who do not belong to God [MTY]?”
| فَسَأَلَهُ يَهُوذَا، غَيْرُ الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيِّ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، مَاذَا جَرَى حَتَّى تُعْلِنَ لَنَا ذَاتَكَ وَلا تُعْلِنَهَا لِلْعَالَمِ؟» | ٢٢ |
23 Jesus replied to him, “Those who love me will obey what I have told them. My Father will [also] love them. It is those people whom my Father and I will [be able to] come to and (live with/have a personal relationship with).
| أَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَنْ يُحِبَّنِي يَعْمَلْ بِكَلِمَتِي، وَيُحِبَّهُ أَبِي، وَإِلَيْهِ نَأْتِي، وَعِنْدَهُ نَجْعَلُ لَنَا مَنْزِلاً. | ٢٣ |
24 But those who do not love me will not obey what I have told them. [So I cannot reveal to them what I am really like]. These words that I am telling you have not come just from me. They came from [my] Father, the one who sent me.
| وَالَّذِي لَا يُحِبُّنِي لَا يَعْمَلُ بِكَلامِي. وَهَذَا الْكَلامُ الَّذِي تَسْمَعُونَهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ عِنْدِي، بَلْ مِنَ الآبِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي، | ٢٤ |
25 I have told you all these things while I am still with you.
| وَقَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ عِنْدَكُمْ. | ٢٥ |
26 But [my] Father will send the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. He will come with my authority [MTY]. He will teach you all of [God’s truth that you need to know]. He will also cause you to remember all the things that I have told you.
| وَأَمَّا الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ، الْمُعِينُ الَّذِي سَيُرْسِلُهُ الآبُ بِاسْمِي، فَإِنَّهُ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَيُذَكِّرُكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا قُلْتُهُ لَكُمْ. | ٢٦ |
27 As I leave you, I am causing you to have [inner] peace. This [inner] peace comes from me. I am not causing you to have something that those who do not belong to God [MTY] can give you. [So] stop being anxious/worried, and do not be afraid.
| سَلاماً أَتْرُكُ لَكُمْ. سَلامِي أُعْطِيكُمْ. لَيْسَ كَمَا يُعْطِي الْعَالَمُ أُعْطِيكُمْ أَنَا. فَلا تَضْطَرِبْ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَلا تَرْتَعِبْ. | ٢٧ |
28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, but [later] I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going back to [my] Father, because [my] Father is greater than I am, [and there he will honor me and will send the Spirit to you].
| سَمِعْتُمْ أَنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ عَنْكُمْ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ إِلَيْكُمْ. فَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَنِي، لَكُنْتُمْ تَبْتَهِجُونَ لأَنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى الآبِ، لأَنَّ الآبَ أَعْظَمُ مِنِّي. | ٢٨ |
29 I have told you [these things now] before they happen, so that when they happen you will believe [that what I said is true].
| هَا قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِالأَمْرِ قَبْلَ حُدُوثِهِ، حَتَّى مَتَى حَدَثَ تُؤْمِنُونَ. | ٢٩ |
30 I will not [be able to] talk to you much longer, because what happens to me will be as though [Satan], the ruler of this world, is coming [to attack me]. But he has no [control over what happens to] me.
| لَنْ أُكَلِّمَكُمْ كَثِيراً بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ سَيِّدَ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ قَادِمٌ عَلَيَّ، وَلا شَيْءَ لَهُ فِيَّ. | ٣٠ |
31 Instead, the people who do not belong to God [MTY] must learn [from what happens to me] that I love [my] Father, and I am doing the things that he has commanded me to do. Now, let’s get up and leave here.”
| إِلّا أَنَّ هَذَا سَيَحْدُثُ لِيَعْرِفَ الْعَالَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ الآبَ، وَأَنِّي مِثْلَمَا أَوْصَانِي الآبُ هكَذَا أَفْعَلُ. قُومُوا! لِنَذْهَبْ مِنْ هُنَا! | ٣١ |
