Sione 16
1 “Kuo u tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mou tūkia.
These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be ensnared.
2 Te nau kapusi ʻakimoutolu mei he falelotu: ʻio, ʻe hokosia ʻae kuonga, ko ia te ne tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻe mahalo ʻe ia ko ʻene ngāue lelei ki he ʻOtua.
They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the time is coming, when he that kills you, will think that he is offering service to God.
3 Pea te nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae Tamai, pe ko au.
And these things they will do, because they know neither the Father nor me.
4 Ka kuo u tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻoka hoko ʻae kuonga, ke mou manatu naʻaku tala ia kiate kimoutolu. “Pea naʻe ʻikai te u tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kamataʻanga, koeʻuhi naʻaku ʻiate kimoutolu.
But these things I have told you, that, when the time has come, you may remember that I told you of them. But these things I did not tell you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 Ka ko eni, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au, ʻoku ʻikai fehuʻi hamou tokotaha kiate au, ʻOku ke ʻalu ki fē?
And now I go to him that sent me, and no one of you asks me, Whither goest thou?
6 Ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, kuo pito homou loto ʻi he mamahi.
But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Ka ʻoku ou tala ʻae moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻaonga kiate kimoutolu ʻeku ʻalu: he kapau ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu, ʻe ʻikai haʻu kiate kimoutolu ʻae Fakafiemālie; ka ʻi heʻeku ʻalu, te u fekau ia kiate kimoutolu.
But yet I tell you the truth: it is profitable for you that I go away. For if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you.
8 Pea ka haʻu ia, te ne valoki ʻa māmani ʻi he angahala, pea ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi he fakamaau:
And when he has come, he will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
9 ʻI he angahala, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau tui kiate au;
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 ʻI he māʻoniʻoni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki heʻeku Tamai, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata kiate au;
of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more;
11 ʻI he fakamaau, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaauʻi ʻae ʻeiki ʻo māmani.
of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 “ʻOku kei lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku ou fie lea ai kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou faʻa kātaki ni.
I have yet many things to say to you; but you can not bear them now.
13 Ka ʻi he haʻu ʻae Laumālie ʻoe moʻoni, ʻe tataki ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu ki he moʻoni kotoa pē: he ko ʻene lea ʻe ʻikai meiate ia; ka ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo ne fanongo ki ai, [ko ia ]ia te ne lea ʻaki: pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko.
But when he, the Spirit of the truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; but what he hears, that will he speak, and he will show you things to come.
14 ʻE fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻe ia: he te ne maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku, ʻo fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu.
He will glorify me; for he will take of mine, and show it to you.
15 Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻae Tamai, ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia: ko ia ne u pehē ai, te ne maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku, ʻo fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu.
All things that the Father has are mine; for this reason I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you.
16 “ʻE toe siʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou mamata kiate au; pea toe siʻi foki, pea te mou mamata kiate au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki he Tamai.”
A little while, and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me, because I go to the Father.
17 Pea lea ai ʻene kau ākonga niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni ʻoku ne tala kiate kitautolu, ʻE toe siʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou mamata kiate au: pea toe siʻi foki, pea te mou mamata kiate au: pea, ‘Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki he Tamai?’
Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this that he says to us, A little while, and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me? and, Be cause I go to the Father?
18 Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai, Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni ʻoku ne leaʻaki, ‘ʻE toetoe siʻi?’ ʻOku ʻikai te tau ʻilo ʻene lea.”
Therefore they said: What is this that he says, The little while? We know not what he says.
19 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau holi ke fehuʻi kiate ia, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou fehuʻi ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi heʻeku lea, ‘ʻE toe siʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou mamata kiate au: pea toe siʻi foki, pea te mou mamata kiate au?’
Then Jesus knew that they wished to ask him; and he said to them: Are you inquiring of one another about this, because I said, A little while and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me?
20 Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Te mou tangi pea tangilāulau, ka ʻe fiefia ʻa māmani: pea te mou mamahi, ka ko hoʻomou mamahi ʻe liliu ko e fiefia.
Verily, verily I say to you, you shall weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 ʻOka langā ʻae fefine, ʻoku mamahi ia, koeʻuhi kuo hokosia hono ʻaho: ka ʻi heʻene fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, ʻoku ʻikai kei manatu ia ki he mamahi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fiefia ʻi he fanauʻi ha tangata ki māmani.
A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow, be cause her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the pain, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 Ko eni, ʻoku mamahi ni ʻakimoutolu: ka te u toe vakai kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe fiefia ai homou loto, pea ko hoʻomou fiefia, ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha taha meiate kimoutolu.
You, therefore, have sorrow now; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
23 “Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ʻikai te mou fehuʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha kiate au. Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa kotoa pē te mou kole ki he Tamai ʻi hoku huafa, te ne foaki kiate kimoutolu.
And in that day you shall ask nothing of me; verily, verily I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give you.
24 ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou kole ha meʻa ʻi hoku huafa: kole, pea te mou maʻu, koeʻuhi ke kakato ai hoʻomou fiefia.
Till this time you have asked for nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni kuo u tala kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lea fakatātā: ka ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, ʻe ʻikai te u kei lea ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lea fakatātā, ka te u fakahā fakapapau kiate kimoutolu ʻi he Tamai.
These things I have spoken to you in parables; the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in parables, but will teach you plainly concerning the Father.
26 ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te mou kole ʻi hoku huafa: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u pehē kiate kimoutolu, te u fakakolekole ki he Tamai koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu:
In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father in your behalf;
27 He ʻoku ʻofa ʻae Tamai foki kiate kimoutolu, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou ʻofa kiate au, pea ʻi hoʻomou tui naʻaku haʻu mei he ʻOtua.
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
28 Naʻaku haʻu mei he Tamai, pea kuo u haʻu ki māmani: ko eni, ʻoku ou tuku ʻa māmani, kau ʻalu ki he Tamai.”
I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world: again I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29 Pea pehē ʻe heʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Vakai, ko eni ʻoku ke lea ʻilongofua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke lea ʻi he fakatātā.
His disciples said to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable.
30 Ko eni ʻoku mau ʻilo pau ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ke fehuʻi ʻe ha tokotaha kiate koe: ko e meʻa ni ʻoku mau tui ai kuo ke haʻu mei he ʻOtua.”
Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any one should ask thee. By this we believe that thou hast come forth from God.
31 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou tui ni koā?
Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
32 Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, ʻio, kuo hoko ni, ʻe fakamovete ai ʻakimoutolu, ʻo taki taha maʻana, pea te mou tuku au tokotaha pe: ka ʻoku ʻikai te u tokotaha pe, he ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae Tamai.
Behold, the hour is coming, and has now come, in which you shall be scattered, each one to his own home, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
33 Kuo u tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu ʻae fiemālie ʻiate au. Te mou maʻu ʻae mamahi ʻi māmani: ka mou lototoʻa; kuo u ikuʻi ʻa māmani.”
These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction, but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.
