1“Kuo u tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mou tūkia.
1“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.
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. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers 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 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 I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t 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?
5But now I am going to him who sent me, and 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.
6But because I have told you these things, sorrow has 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 to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t 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:
8When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
9ʻI he angahala, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau tui kiate au;
9about sin, because they don’t believe in me;
10ʻI he māʻoniʻoni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki heʻeku Tamai, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata kiate au;
10about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
11ʻI he fakamaau, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaauʻi ʻae ʻeiki ʻo māmani.
11about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12“ʻOku kei lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku ou fie lea ai kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou faʻa kātaki ni.
12“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t 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.
13However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
14ʻE fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻe ia: he te ne maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku, ʻo fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu.
14He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare 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.
15All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare 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.”
16“A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and 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?’
17Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will 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 says, ‘A little while’ ? We don’t know 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?’
19Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and 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.
20Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will 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 gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being 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.
22Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away 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.
23“In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to 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 asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made 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.
25“I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, 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; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to 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 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 have 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 to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no 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 know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”
31Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou tui ni koā?
31Jesus answered them, “Do you 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 time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me 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, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
