João 16

1 "Kua kōrerotia e ahau ēnei mea ki a koutou, kei hē koutou. 2 Ka peia atu koutou i roto i ngā whare karakia; ā, meāke puta te wā e mea ai te kaiwhakamate i a koutou, he mahi pai tāna ki te Atua. 3 Nā, e meatia ēnei mea, nō te mea kāhore rātou i mōhio ki te Matua, kāhore hoki ki ahau. 4 Otiia, kua kōrerotia ēnei mea e ahau ki a koutou, mō te puta rawa mai o taua wā, ka mahara koutou ki aua mea, he mea kōrero nāku ki a koutou."

Ngā Mahi a te Wairua Tapu

"Nā, kīhai ēnei mea i kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou i te tīmatanga, nō te mea e noho ana ahau i a koutou."

5 "Nā, e haere ana tēnei ahau ki tōku kaitono mai; ā, kāhore tētahi o koutou i ui mai ki ahau, ‘Ko hea koe?’ 6 Otirā, i tāku kōrerotanga i ēnei mea ki a koutou, ka kī ō koutou ngākau i te pōuri. 7 He pono ia tāku kōrero ki a koutou; nui atu te pai mō koutou ki te haere ahau; ki te kāhore hoki ahau e haere, e kore te Kaiwhakamārie e tae mai ki a koutou; ā, ki te haere ahau, māku ia e tono mai ki a koutou. 8 Nā, ka tae mai ia, māna e whakaatu ki te ao te hara, te tika, me te whakawā. 9 Te hara, mō rātou kāhore e whakapono ki ahau; 10 te tika, nō te mea e haere ana ahau ki tōku Matua, ā, heoi anō tō koutou kitenga i ahau; 11 te whakawā, nō te mea kua whakatikaia te whakawā mō te rangatira o tēnei ao.

12 "He maha atu anō ngā mea hei kōrero māku ki a koutou, otirā, e kore e taea e koutou te mau āianei. 13 Otirā, kia tae mai ia, te Wairua o te pono, māna koutou e ārahi ki te pono katoa; ehara hoki tāna i te kōrero nāna ake; engari, ka kōrerotia e ia ngā mea e rongo ai ia; māna hoki e whakakite ki a koutou ngā mea e puta mai ana. 14 Ka whakakorōriatia ahau e ia; ka tango hoki ia i āku mea, ā, ka whakaaturia ki a koutou. 15 Ko ngā mea katoa a te Matua, nāku. Koia ahau i mea ai, ka tangohia e ia āku mea, ā, ka whakaaturia ki a koutou."

Te Pōuritanga me te Hari

16 "Taro ake, ā, e kore koutou e kite anō i ahau; ā, taro ake anō, ka kite koutou i ahau, nō te mea ka haere ahau ki te Matua."

17 Nā, ka mea ētahi o āna ākonga tētahi ki tētahi, "He aha tēnei e mea nei ia ki a tātou, ‘Taro ake, ā, e kore koutou e kite i ahau; ā, taro ake anō, ka kite koutou i ahau’; me tēnei, ‘Nō te mea e haere ana ahau ki te Matua’?" 18 Nā, ka mea rātou, "He aha tēnei e mea nei ia, ‘Taro ake?’ E kore tātou e mātau ki tāna e mea nei."

19 Ā, i mōhio a Īhu e hiahia ana rātou ki te ui ki a ia, ka mea ki a rātou, "E rapu ana koutou ki a koutou anō ki tāku i mea rā, ‘Taro ake, ā, e kore koutou e kite i ahau; ā, taro ake anō ka kite koutou i ahau’? 20 He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ka tangi koutou, ka auē, ko te ao ia ka hari; e pōuri anō koutou, otirā ka meinga tō koutou pōuri hei hari. 21 I te mea ka whakamamae te wahine, ka pōuri, nō te mea ka tae tōna wā. Ka whānau tāna tamaiti, heoi anō, mahara ki te mamae, i te hari hoki, nō te mea ka whānau he tangata ki te ao. 22 Nā tēnei koutou te pōuri nei; e kite anō ia ahau i a koutou, ā, ka hari ō koutou ngākau, e kore hoki e tangohia i a koutou tō koutou hari e tētahi.

23 "Nā, ā taua rā e kore koutou e ui ki tētahi mea i ahau. He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ko ā koutou e īnoi ai ki te Matua i runga i tōku ingoa, e hoatu e ia ki a koutou. 24 Kāhore anō i īnoia noatia e koutou tētahi mea i runga i tōku ingoa. Īnoia, ā, ka whiwhi koutou, kia tino nui ai tō koutou koa."

Te Wikitōria ki te Ao

25 "He mea whakarite tāku kōrero i ēnei mea ki a koutou. Otiia, meāke puta te wā e kore ai ahau e kōrero kupu whakarite ki a koutou, engari, ka mārama tonu tāku kōrero ki a koutou mō te Matua. 26 Ā taua rā, ka īnoi koutou i runga i tōku ingoa; ā, e kore ahau e mea ki a koutou e īnoi ahau ki te Matua mō koutou. 27 E aroha ana hoki te Matua ake anō ki a koutou, mō koutou i aroha ki ahau, i whakapono hoki i haere mai ahau i te Matua. 28 I haere mai ahau i te Matua, ā, kua tae mai nei ki te ao; ka mahue anō i ahau te ao, ā, ka haere ki te Matua."

29 Ka mea āna ākonga ki a ia, "Nā, kua mārama tāu kōrero, ehara tāu kōrero i te kupu whakarite. 30 Kātahi mātou ka mōhio, tēnei koe te mōhio nei ki ngā mea katoa, e kore anō e mea mā tētahi e ui ki a koe; nā konei mātou i whakapono ai i haere mai koe i te Atua."

31 Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a rātou, "Kātahi koutou ka whakapono?" 32 Nā, meāke puta te wā, ā, kua puta nei anō, e whakamararatia ai koutou ki tōna wāhi, ki tōna wāhi, ā, ka waiho ko ahau anake. Otiia, he teka ko ahau anake, nō te mea kei ahau nei te Matua.

33 "Kua kōrerotia e ahau ēnei mea ki a koutou, kia whai mārietanga ai koutou i roto i ahau. Ko tā koutou i te ao nei, he mamate. Otirā, kia māia; kua taea e ahau te ao!"

1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble. 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God. 3 And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless 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 go, I will send him unto you. 8 And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more; 11 of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you. 15 All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you. 16 A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me. 17 Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? 18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith. 19 Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me? 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you. 23 And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

25 These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father. 26 In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you; 27 for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father. 28 I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father. 29 His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying. 30 Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is 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. 33 These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
