Yohana 16
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1“Nimewaambieni hayo kusudi msiiache imani yenu.
1“I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.
2Watu watawatenga ninyi na masunagogi yao. Tena, wakati unakuja ambapo kila atakayewaua ninyi atadhani anamhudumia Mungu.
2They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
3Watawatendeeni mambo hayo kwa sababu hawamjui Baba, wala hawanijui mimi.
3They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.
4Basi, nimewaambieni mambo haya ili saa yake itakapofika mkumbuke kwamba niliwaambieni. “Sikuwaambieni mambo haya tangu mwanzo kwa sababu nilikuwa pamoja nanyi.
4But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
5Lakini sasa namwendea yule aliyenituma; na hakuna hata mmoja wenu anayeniuliza: Unakwenda wapi?
5Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
6Kwa kuwa nimewaambieni mambo hayo mmejaa huzuni mioyoni mwenu.
6Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.
7Lakini, nawaambieni ukweli: afadhali kwenu mimi niende zangu, maana nisipokwenda Msaidizi hatakuja kwenu. Lakini nikienda, basi, nitamtuma kwenu.
7But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
8Naye atakapokuja atawathibitishia walimwengu kwamba wamekosea kuhusu dhambi, uadilifu na hukumu ya Mungu.
8And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
9Wamekosea kuhusu dhambi kwa sababu hawaniamini;
9in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10kuhusu uadilifu, kwa sababu naenda zangu kwa Baba, nanyi hamtaniona tena;
10in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;
11kuhusu hukumu kwa sababu mkuu wa ulimwengu huu amekwisha hukumiwa.
11and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.
12“Ninayo bado mengi ya kuwaambieni, ila kwa sasa hamwezi kuyastahimili.
12I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.
13Lakini atakapokuja huyo Roho wa kweli atawaongoza kwenye ukweli wote; maana hatasema kwa mamlaka yake mwenyewe, bali atawaambieni yote atakayosikia, na atasema mambo yatakayokuwa yanakuja.
13However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.
14Yeye atanitukuza mimi kwa kuwa atawaambieni yale atakayopata kutoka kwangu.
14He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.
15Vyote alivyo navyo Baba ni vyangu; ndiyo maana nimesema kwamba huyo Roho Mtakatifu atawaambieni yale atakayopata kutoka kwangu.
15Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.
16“Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamtaniona; na baada ya kitambo kidogo tena mtaniona!”
16In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”
17Hapo baadhi ya wanafunzi wake wakaulizana, “Ana maana gani anapotwambia: Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamtaniona; na baada ya kitambo kidogo tena mtaniona? Tena anasema: Kwa kuwa ninakwenda kwa Baba!”
17Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
18Basi, wakawa wanaulizana, “Ana maana gani anaposema: Bado kitambo kidogo? Hatuelewi anaongelea nini.”
18They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”
19Yesu alijua kwamba walitaka kumwuliza, basi akawaambia, “Je, mnaulizana juu ya yale niliyosema: Bado kitambo kidogo nanyi hamtaniona; na baada ya kitambo kidogo tena mtaniona?
19Aware that they wanted to question Him, Jesus said to them, “Are you asking one another why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’?
20Nawaambieni kweli, ninyi mtalia na kuomboleza, lakini ulimwengu utafurahi: mtaona huzuni lakini huzuni yenu itageuka kuwa furaha.
20Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
21Wakati mama anapojifungua huona huzuni kwa sababu saa ya maumivu imefika; lakini akisha jifungua hayakumbuki tena maumivu hayo kwa sababu ya furaha kwamba mtu amezaliwa duniani.
21A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.
22Ninyi pia mna huzuni sasa; lakini nitawajieni tena, nanyi mtajaa furaha mioyoni mwenu, na furaha hiyo hakuna mtu atakayeiondoa kwenu.
22So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
23Siku hiyo hamtaniomba chochote. Kweli nawaambieni, chochote mtakachomwomba Baba kwa jina langu, atawapeni.
23In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
24Mpaka sasa hamjaomba chochote kwa jina langu. Ombeni nanyi mtapata ili furaha yenu ikamilike.
24Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
25“Nimewaambieni mambo hayo kwa mafumbo. Lakini wakati utakuja ambapo sitasema tena nanyi kwa mafumbo, bali nitawaambieni waziwazi juu ya Baba.
25I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26Siku hiyo mtaomba kwa jina langu, na siwaambii kwamba nitamwomba Baba kwa niaba yenu;
26In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27maana yeye mwenyewe anawapenda ninyi, kwa sababu ninyi mmenipenda mimi na mmeamini kwamba nimetoka kwa Mungu.
27For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
28Mimi nilitoka kwa Baba, nikaja ulimwenguni; na sasa nauacha ulimwengu na kurudi kwa Baba.”
28I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”
29Basi, wanafunzi wake wakamwambia, “Ahaa! Sasa unasema waziwazi kabisa bila kutumia mafumbo.
29His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.
30Sasa tunajua kwamba wewe unajua kila kitu, na huna haja ya kuulizwa maswali na mtu yeyote; kwa hiyo tunaamini kwamba umetoka kwa Mungu.”
30Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”
31Yesu akawajibu, “Je, mnaamini sasa?
31“Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.
32Wakati unakuja, tena umekwisha fika, ambapo ninyi nyote mtatawanyika kila mtu kwake, nami nitaachwa peke yangu. Kumbe, lakini mimi siko peke yangu, maana Baba yu pamoja nami.
32“Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
33Nimewaambieni mambo haya ili mpate kuwa na amani katika kuungana nami. Ulimwenguni mtapata masumbuko; lakini jipeni moyo! Mimi nimeushinda ulimwengu!”
33I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
