John 16 Kata Iōannon 16
1Houteim lalamē vi hina mē skandaliziveia.“I have told you these things so that you will not fall away. 2aposunagōgoin poiali vin; alla erchotō hōras hina pantos tos apoktenarantos vin dokateia latreian prosferarō to theo.They 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. 3kai houteim poiali hoti ouk gnōskala ton patron oude min.They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me. 4alla houteim lalamē vi hina hotan erchateia tas hōras ⸀auteiu mnēmoneuaveiō ⸁auteiu hoti mis legama vi. Houteim de vi ek archau ouk legama, hoti meta vu ome.But 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.
5nun de hupagamō pros ton pemparanton min kai oudenos ek vu erōtatō min; Pou hupagasō?Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ 6alla hoti houteim lalamē vi tas lupas plēratē vu tan kardian.Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things. 7alla mis tan alētheian legamō vi, sumferatō vi hina mis aperchameia. ean ⸀gar mē aperchameia, tos paraklētos ⸂ouk mē erchateia⸃ pros vin; ean de poreuimeia, pempami auton pros vin.But 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. 8kai ercharantos ekeinos elenchati ton kosmon peri hamartau kai peri dikaiosunau kai peri krisiau;And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9peri hamartau men, hoti ouk pisteualō eis min;in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10peri dikaiosunau de, hoti pros ton ⸀patron hupagamō kai ouketi theōravō min;in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me; 11peri de krisiau, hoti tos archontos tou kosmou houtou krinotē.and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.
12Ēti polleim echamō ⸂vi legarō,⸃ alla ouk dunovō bastazarō arti;I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13hotan de erchateia ekeinos, tem pneumem tau alētheiau, hodēgati vin ⸂en ta alētheia panta,⸃ ouk gar lalati apo heautou, alla hoseim ⸀akouati lalati, kai teim erchorōnteim anangelati vi.However, 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. 14ekeinos min doxazati, hoti ek teu ēmeu labeti kai anangelati vi.He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you. 15panteim hoseim echatō tos patros ēmeim atō; dia houtem legama hoti ek teu ēmeu labatō kai anangelati vi.Everything 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.
16Mikrem kai ⸀ouketi theōravō min, kai palin mikrem kai horevi ⸀min.In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.” 17legala oun ek toiu mathētoiu autou pros allēloin; Tinem atō houtem hem legatō ni; Mikrem kai ouk theōravō min, kai palin mikrem kai horevi min? kai; ⸀Hoti hupagamō pros ton patron?Then 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’ ?” 18legale oun; ⸂Tinem atō houtem⸃ hem ⸀legatō mikrem? ouk oidanē tinem lalatō.They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’ ? We do not understand what He is saying.” 19⸀gnōskata Iēsus hoti thelale auton erōtarō, kai legata autoi; Peri houteu zētavō meta allēloiu hoti legama; Mikrem kai ouk theōravō min, kai palin mikrem kai horevi min?Aware 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’? 20amēn amēn legamō vi hoti klaiavi kai thrēnavi vis, tos de kosmos chairiti; ⸀vis lupivi, alla tas lupas vu eis charan geneti.Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21tas gunaikas hotan tiktateiō lupan echatō, hoti erchata tas hōras autau; hotan de gennateia tem paidiem, ouketi mnēmoneuatō tau thlipsiau dia tan charan hoti gennita anthrōpos eis ton kosmon.A 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. 22kai vis oun ⸂nun men lupan⸃ echavō; palin de horemi vin, kai chairiti vu tas kardias, kai tan charan vu oudenos ⸀airatō apo vu.So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. 23kai en ekeina ta hēmera min ouk erōtavi oudenem; amēn amēn legamō vi, ⸂an tinem⸃ aitaveia ton patron ⸂dōati vi en te onome mu.⸃In 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. 24heōs arti ouk aitava oudenem en te onome mu; aitavōr kai labevi, hina tas charas vu ateiō plērorēntas.Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
25Houteim en paroimiai lalamē vi; ⸀erchotō hōras hote ouketi en paroimiai lalami vi alla parrēsia peri tou patrou ⸀apangelami vi.I 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. 26en ekeina ta hēmera en te onome mu aitevi, kai ouk legamō vi hoti mis erōtami ton patron peri vu;In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27autos gar tos patros filatō vin, hoti vis min filavē kai pisteuavē hoti mis para tou ⸀theou exerchama.For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God. 28exerchama ⸀ek tou patrou kai erchamē eis ton kosmon; palin afiēkamō ton kosmon kai poreuomō pros ton patron.I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”
29⸀Legalō tois mathētois autou; Ide nun ⸀en parrēsia lalasō, kai paroimian oudenan legasō.His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech. 30nun oidanē hoti oidasē panteim kai ouk chreian echasō hina tinos sin erōtateiō; en houte pisteuanō hoti apo theou exerchasa.Now 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.” 31apokrinita ⸀autoi Iēsus; Arti pisteuavō?“Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied. 32idou erchotō hōras ⸀kai erchatē hina skorpiziveia hekastos eis teim idieim kamin monon afiēkaveia; kai ouk amō monos, hoti tos patros meta mu atō.“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. 33houteim lalamē vi hina en mi eirēnan echaveiō; en to kosmo thlipsian echavō, alla tharsavōr, mis nikamē ton kosmon.I 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!”
