Sione 14
1 “ʻOua naʻa mamahi homou loto: ʻoku mou tui ki he ʻOtua, tui foki kiate au.
[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.
2 ʻI he fale ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoku lahi: ka ne ʻikai, pehē kuo u tala ia kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku ou ʻalu ke teuteu ha potu moʻomoutolu.
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.
3 Pea kapau teu ʻalu, ʻo teuteu ha potu moʻomoutolu, te u toe haʻu, ʻo maʻu ʻakimoutolu kiate au; koeʻuhi ko e potu te u ʻi ai, te mou ʻi ai foki.
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.
4 Pea ko e potu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai ʻoku mou ʻilo, pea ʻoku mou ʻilo mo e hala.”
You know the road to the place where I am going.”
5 Pea lea ʻa Tōmasi kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo pe ʻoku ke ʻalu ki fē; pea ʻe fēfē ʻemau ʻilo ʻae hala?”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. [So] how can we know the road?”
6 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ko e hala, mo e moʻoni, pea mo e moʻui: ʻoku ʻikai haʻu ha tangata ʻe taha ki he Tamai, kae ʻiate au.
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.
7 Ka ne mou ʻilo au, pehē, kuo mou ʻilo mo ʻeku Tamai foki: pea ngata mei heni ʻoku mou ʻilo ia, pea kuo mou mamata kiate ia.”
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.”
8 Pea lea ʻa Filipe kiate ia, “ʻEiki, fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae Tamai pea mau fiemālie ai.”
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us your Father and that will be enough for us!”
9 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Filipe, he kuo pehē ni hono fuoloa ʻo ʻeku ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku teʻeki ai te ke ʻilo au? Ko ia kuo ne mamata kiate au, kuo mamata ia ki he Tamai; pea fēfē ai haʻo pehē, ‘Fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae Tamai?’
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]
10 ʻOku ʻikai te ke tui ʻoku ou ʻi he Tamai, mo e Tamai ʻiate au? Ko e lea ʻoku ou leaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai te u lea ʻaki ʻiate au: ka ko e Tamai, ʻoku nofo ʻiate au, ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue.
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].
11 Tui mai kiate au ʻoku ou ʻi he Tamai, mo e Tamai ʻiate au: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea tui kiate au koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ngāue.
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].
12 Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ou fai ʻe fai ʻe ia foki; pea te ne fai mo ia ʻoku lahi hake; koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ʻalu ki heʻeku Tamai.
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].
13 Pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē te mou kole ʻi hoku huafa, te u fai ia, koeʻuhi ke fakaongoongolelei ʻae Tamai ʻi he ʻAlo.
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.
14 Ko ia kotoa pē te mou kole ʻi hoku huafa, te u fai.
Anything that you ask [my Father to do, anything that you ask] with my [authority] [MTY], I will do.”
15 “Kapau ʻoku mou ʻofa kiate au, fai ʻeku ngaahi fekau.
“If you love me, you will do what I have commanded you.
16 Pea te u kole ki he Tamai, pea te ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ha Fakafiemālie ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke nofo ia mo kimoutolu ʻo taʻengata; (aiōn g165)
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)
17 ʻIo, ko e Laumālie ʻoe moʻoni; ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he māmani, he ʻoku ʻikai mamata ia ki ai, pe ʻiloʻi ia: ka te mou ʻilo ia; he te ne nofo mo kimoutolu, pea nofoʻia ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu.
[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.
18 “ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ke tuēnoa ʻakimoutolu: te u haʻu kiate kimoutolu.
[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.)
19 ʻOku toe siʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai mamata kiate au ʻa māmani; ka te mou mamata kiate au: koeʻuhi ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe moʻui ʻakimoutolu foki.
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.
20 ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te mou ʻilo ʻoku ou ʻi heʻeku Tamai, mo kimoutolu ʻiate au, mo au ʻiate kimoutolu.
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.
21 “Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo fai ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ʻofa kiate au: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻofa kiate au, ʻe ʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamai kiate ia, pea te u ʻofa mo au kiate ia, pea te u fakahā au kiate ia.”
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].”
22 Pea lea ʻa Siutasi kiate ia, naʻe ʻikai ko ʻIsikaliote, “ʻEiki, ko e hā te ke fakahā ai koe kiate kimautolu, kae ʻikai ki māmani?”
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]?”
23 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku ʻofa ha tangata kiate au, te ne fai ʻeku lea: pea ʻe ʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamai kiate ia, pea te mā omi kiate ia, ʻo nofomaʻu mo ia.
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).
24 Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa kiate au, ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻeku ngaahi tala: pea ko e lea ʻoku mou ongoʻi, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku, ka ʻoku ʻae Tamai kuo ne fekauʻi au.
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.
25 “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni kuo u tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻi heʻeku ʻiate kimoutolu.
I have told you all these things while I am still with you.
26 Ka ko e Fakafiemālie ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻe fekau ʻe he Tamai ʻi hoku huafa, te ne akoʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, mo fakamanatuʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo u leaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.
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.
27 “ʻOku ou tuku ʻae melino kiate kimoutolu, ko ʻeku melino ʻoku ou foaki kiate kimoutolu: ʻoku ʻikai hangē ko e foaki ʻa māmani, ʻa ʻeku foaki kiate kimoutolu. ʻOua naʻa mamahi homou loto, pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē ʻia.
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.
28 Kuo mou ongoʻi ʻeku lea kiate kimoutolu, ‘ʻOku ou ʻalu, pea u [toe ]haʻu kiate kimoutolu.’ Ka ne mou ʻofa kiate au, te mou fiefia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku pehē, ʻOku ou ʻalu ki he Tamai: he ʻoku lahi ʻeku Tamai ʻiate au.
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].
29 Pea ko eni kuo u fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku teʻeki hoko, koeʻuhi ʻoka hoko ia, ke mou tui.
I have told you [these things now] before they happen, so that when they happen you will believe [that what I said is true].
30 Ngata mei heni, ʻe ʻikai te u lea lahi kiate kimoutolu: he ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe māmani, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻiate au.
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.
31 Ka koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe māmani ʻoku ou ʻofa ki he Tamai; pea mo ʻeku fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae Tamai kiate au. “Tuʻu hake, ke tau ʻalu ʻi heni.
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.”
