Ch 16 Yohana – 2samaki

Yohana 16

16:1	“Haya nimewaambia, ili usijikwae.
16:2	Watawatoa nje ya masinagogi. Lakini saa inakuja ambapo kila mtu anayewaua ataona kwamba anamtolea Mungu utumishi ulio bora zaidi.
16:3	Nao watafanya mambo hayo kwa sababu hawakumjua Baba, wala mimi.
16:4	Lakini mambo haya nimewaambia, Kwahivyo, saa ya mambo haya itakapokuwa imewadia, unaweza kukumbuka kuwa nilikuambia.
16:5	Lakini mimi sikuwaambia mambo haya tangu mwanzo, kwa sababu nilikuwa pamoja nawe. Na sasa ninamwendea yeye aliyenituma. Na hakuna yeyote miongoni mwenu aliyeniuliza, 'Unaenda wapi?'
16:6	Lakini kwa sababu nimewaambia mambo haya, huzuni imejaa moyoni mwako.
16:7	Lakini mimi nawaambia ukweli: yawafaa ninyi mimi niende zangu. Kwa maana kama siendi, Wakili hatakuja kwako. Lakini nitakapokuwa nimeondoka, nitamtuma kwako.
16:8	Na wakati amefika, atabishana dhidi ya ulimwengu, kuhusu dhambi na kuhusu haki na kuhusu hukumu:
16:9	kuhusu dhambi, kweli, kwa sababu hawakuniamini mimi;
16:10	kuhusu haki, kweli, kwa sababu naenda kwa Baba, na hutaniona tena;
16:11	kuhusu hukumu, basi, kwa sababu mkuu wa ulimwengu huu amekwisha kuhukumiwa.
16:12	Bado nina mambo mengi ya kukuambia, lakini hamwezi kustahimili sasa.
16:13	Lakini wakati Roho wa kweli amefika, atakufundisha ukweli wote. Kwa maana hatazungumza kutoka kwake mwenyewe. Badala yake, chochote atakachosikia, atazungumza. Naye atawatangazia mambo yajayo.
16:14	Yeye atanitukuza. Kwa maana atapokea kutoka kwa yaliyo yangu, naye atakutangazia.
16:15	Vyote alivyo navyo Baba ni vyangu. Kwa sababu hii, Nilisema kwamba atapokea katika yaliyo yangu na kwamba atawatangazia.
16:16	A little while, and then you will not see me. And again a little while, and you will see me. For I am going to the Father.”
16:17	Then some of his disciples said to one another: "Hii ni nini, that he is saying to us: ‘A little while, and you will not see me,’ and ‘Again a little while, and you will see me,' na, ‘For I am going to the Father?’”
16:18	Na wakasema: "Hii ni nini, that he is saying, ‘A little while?’ We do not understand what he is saying.”
16:19	But Jesus realized that they wanted to question him, and so he said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about this, nilichosema: ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?'
16:20	Amina, amina, Nawaambia, kwamba mtaomboleza na kulia, lakini ulimwengu utafurahi. Nanyi mtahuzunika sana, lakini huzuni yenu itageuka kuwa furaha.
16:21	Mwanamke, wakati anajifungua, ina huzuni, kwa sababu saa yake imefika. Lakini wakati amejifungua mtoto, kisha hakumbuki tena magumu, kwa sababu ya furaha: kwa maana mtu amezaliwa ulimwenguni.
16:22	Kwa hiyo, wewe pia, kweli, kuwa na huzuni sasa. Lakini nitakuona tena, na moyo wako utafurahi. Na hakuna mtu atakayeondoa furaha yako kutoka kwako.
16:23	Na, katika siku hiyo, hamtaniomba chochote. Amina, amina, Nawaambia, mkimwomba Baba neno lo lote kwa jina langu, atakupa.
16:24	Mpaka sasa, hamkuomba neno kwa jina langu. Uliza, nanyi mtapata, ili furaha yenu iwe kamili.
16:25	Nimewaambia mambo haya kwa mithali. Saa inakuja ambapo sitasema nanyi tena kwa methali; badala yake, Nitawatangazia waziwazi kutoka kwa Baba.
16:26	Katika siku hiyo, mtaomba kwa jina langu, wala siwaambii ya kwamba nitamwomba Baba kwa ajili yenu.
16:27	Kwa maana Baba mwenyewe anawapenda ninyi, kwa sababu umenipenda, na kwa sababu mmeamini kwamba mimi nalitoka kwa Mungu.
16:28	Nilitoka kwa Baba, nami nimekuja ulimwenguni. Ijayo ninaondoka duniani, nami naenda kwa Baba.”
16:29	Wanafunzi wake wakamwambia: “Tazama, now you are speaking plainly and not reciting a proverb.
16:30	Now we know that you know all things, and that you have no need for anyone to question you. Kwa hili, we believe that you went forth from God.”
16:31	Yesu akawajibu: “Do you believe now?
16:32	Tazama, the hour is coming, and it has now arrived, when you will be scattered, each one on his own, and you will leave me behind, peke yake. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
16:33	Mambo haya nimewaambia, so that you may have peace in me. Katika dunia, you will have difficulties. But have confidence: I have overcome the world.”
