< John 14 >

1 “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mommma mo akoma nntu. Monnye Onyankopɔn nni na monnye me nso nni.
2 In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
Tenaberɛ bebree wɔ mʼAgya efie, ɛno enti, merekɔ akɔsiesie baabi ama mo. Sɛ asɛm a mereka yi nyɛ nokorɛ a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo.
3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
Na sɛ mekɔ na mekɔsiesie baabi ma mo a, mɛsane aba abɛfa mo akɔ na me ne mo akɔtena.
4 You know where I go, and you know the way.”
Monim faako a merekɔ no ne ɛkwan ko a mobɛfa so aba hɔ bi.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
Toma bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade yɛnnim faako a worekɔ na yɛbɛyɛ dɛn ahunu ɛkwan aba hɔ bi?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mene ɛkwan no, ne nokorɛ no, ne nkwa no; obi ntumi nkɔ Agya no hɔ, gye sɛ ɔfa me so.”
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.”
Yesu kaa bio sɛ, “Afei a moahunu onipa ko a meyɛ yi, saa ara nso na mobɛhunu mʼAgya no, na ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ yi monim no, ɛfiri sɛ, moahunu no!”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Filipo bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, kyerɛ yɛn Agya no, ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ara ne no.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Filipo, enti me ne mo nanteeɛ dadaada yi, wonnim onipa ko a meyɛ? Obiara a ɔnim onipa ko a meyɛ no nim mʼAgya no. Adɛn enti na woka sɛ, ‘Kyerɛ yɛn Agya’ no?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
Filipo wonnye nni sɛ mewɔ Agya no mu na Agya no nso wɔ me mu? Yesu sane ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no mfiri mʼankasa. Agya a ɔte me mu no na ɔnam me so yɛ nʼadwuma.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Monnye me nni sɛ mewɔ Agya no mu na Agya no nso wɔ me mu. Sɛ monnnye nsɛm a maka no nni a, nnwuma a mayɛ no enti, monnye nni.
12 Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo, obiara a ɔgye me di no, bɛyɛ nnwuma a meyɛ no bi na mpo ɔbɛyɛ nnwuma akɛseakɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, merekɔ mʼAgya no nkyɛn.
13 Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Na biribiara a mobɛbisa wɔ me din mu no, mɛyɛ ama mo, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Agya no animuonyam nam ne Ba no so bɛda adi.
14 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
Biribiara a mode me din bɛbisa no, mɛyɛ ama mo.”
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
“Sɛ modɔ me a, mobɛdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so.
16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever: (aiōn g165)
Mɛbisa Agya no na wama mo ɔboafoɔ foforɔ a ɔne Honhom Kronkron no a ɔda Onyankopɔn nokorɛ nyinaa adi no na ɔne mo atena daa. (aiōn g165)
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
Ewiase rentumi nnye no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnhunu no, na wɔnnim no. Nanso, mo deɛ, monim no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔne mo na ɛte.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
Merennya mo sɛ nwisiaa; mɛsane aba mo nkyɛn bio.
19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
Ɛrenkyɛre biara nnipa renhunu me bio, nanso mo deɛ, mobɛhunu me; na ɛsiane sɛ mete ase no enti, mo nso mobɛtena ase.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
Na da a mɛsɔre afiri awufoɔ mu no duru a, mobɛhunu sɛ mewɔ mʼAgya no mu, na mo nso mowɔ me mu, sɛdeɛ me nso mewɔ mo mu no.
21 One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
Obiara a ɔdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so no ne obi a ɔdɔ me. Obiara a ɔdɔ me no mʼAgya bɛdɔ no, na me nso mɛdɔ no na mada me ho adi akyerɛ no.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Yuda, a ɛnyɛ Iskariot, kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wobɛda wo ho adi akyerɛ yɛn nko ara na ɛnyɛ nnipa nyinaa?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Obiara a ɔdɔ me no bɛdi me nsɛm so. MʼAgya bɛdɔ no na me ne mʼAgya bɛba ne nkyɛn ne no abɛtena.
24 He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
Obiara a ɔnnɔ me no renni me nsɛm so. Nsɛm a moate no nyɛ me ara me nsɛm, na mmom, ɛfiri mʼAgya a ɔsomaa me no nkyɛn.
25 “I have said these things to you while still living with you.
“Mewɔ mo nkyɛn yi na mereka yeinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo.
26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
Honhom Kronkron no a ɔne ɔboafoɔ a Agya no bɛsoma no me din mu no, bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mo biribiara, na wakaakae mo biribiara a maka akyerɛ mo no.
27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
Asomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo; mʼasomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo. Ɛnyɛ ewiase asomdwoeɛ na mede regya mo. Mommma mo akoma nntu; na monnsuro nso.
28 You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.
“Monkae asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ‘Merekɔ, nanso mɛsane aba mo nkyɛn bio’ no. Sɛ modɔ me ampa ara a, anka mo ani bɛgye, ɛfiri sɛ, afei deɛ, mɛtumi akɔ Agya a ɔwɔ tumi sene me no nkyɛn.
29 Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
Maka yeinom akyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛba mu a mobɛgye me adi.
30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
Merentumi nkɔ so nkasa pii nkyerɛ mo bio, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbonsam no reba, nanso ɔnni me so tumi.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
Na ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa hunu sɛ medɔ Agya no, ɛno enti na asɛm biara a ɔbɛka no, meyɛ no. “Monsɔre ma yɛnkɔ.”
