1“Kuo u tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mou tūkia.
1“I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.
2Te 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.
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.
3Pea te nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae Tamai, pe ko au.
3They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.
4Ka 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.
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.
5Ka ko eni, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au, ʻoku ʻikai fehuʻi hamou tokotaha kiate au, ʻOku ke ʻalu ki fē?
5Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
6Ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, kuo pito homou loto ʻi he mamahi.
6Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.
7Ka 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.
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.
8Pea ka haʻu ia, te ne valoki ʻa māmani ʻi he angahala, pea ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi he fakamaau:
8And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
9ʻI he angahala, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau tui kiate au;
9in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10ʻI he māʻoniʻoni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki heʻeku Tamai, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata kiate au;
10in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;
11ʻI he fakamaau, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaauʻi ʻae ʻeiki ʻo māmani.
11and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.
12“ʻOku kei lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku ou fie lea ai kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou faʻa kātaki ni.
12I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.
13Ka 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.
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.
14ʻE fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻe ia: he te ne maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku, ʻo fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu.
14He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.
15Ko 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.
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“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.”
16In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”
17Pea 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?’
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’?”
18Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai, Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni ʻoku ne leaʻaki, ‘ʻE toetoe siʻi?’ ʻOku ʻikai te tau ʻilo ʻene lea.”
18They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”
19Ka 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?’
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’?
20Ko 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.
20Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
21ʻOka 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.
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.
22Ko 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.
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.
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.
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.
24ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou kole ha meʻa ʻi hoku huafa: kole, pea te mou maʻu, koeʻuhi ke kakato ai hoʻomou fiefia.
24Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
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.
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.
26ʻI 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:
26In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27He ʻoku ʻofa ʻae Tamai foki kiate kimoutolu, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou ʻofa kiate au, pea ʻi hoʻomou tui naʻaku haʻu mei he ʻOtua.
27For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
28Naʻaku haʻu mei he Tamai, pea kuo u haʻu ki māmani: ko eni, ʻoku ou tuku ʻa māmani, kau ʻalu ki he Tamai.”
28I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”
29Pea pehē ʻe heʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Vakai, ko eni ʻoku ke lea ʻilongofua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke lea ʻi he fakatātā.
29His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.
30Ko 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.”
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.”
31Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou tui ni koā?
31“Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.
32Vakai, 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.
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.
33Kuo 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.”
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!”
