King James Version with Apocrypha
1“Kuo u tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mou tūkia.
1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
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 shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3Pea te nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae Tamai, pe ko au.
3And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor 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 these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at 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?
5But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6Ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, kuo pito homou loto ʻi he mamahi.
6But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
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.
7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8Pea ka haʻu ia, te ne valoki ʻa māmani ʻi he angahala, pea ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi he fakamaau:
8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9ʻI he angahala, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau tui kiate au;
9Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10ʻI he māʻoniʻoni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki heʻeku Tamai, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata kiate au;
10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11ʻI he fakamaau, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaauʻi ʻae ʻeiki ʻo māmani.
11Of 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.
12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
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.
13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14ʻE fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻe ia: he te ne maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku, ʻo fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu.
14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto 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.
15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto 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.”
16A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
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 said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go 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 said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
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?’
19Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall 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.
20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into 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 when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is 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.
22And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh 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.
23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou kole ha meʻa ʻi hoku huafa: kole, pea te mou maʻu, koeʻuhi ke kakato ai hoʻomou fiefia.
24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye 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.
25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of 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:
26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
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 loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out 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 forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I 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 unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
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 are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
31Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou tui ni koā?
31Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
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.
32Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and 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.”
33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
