João 14

1 "Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. 4 You know where I go, and you know the way."

5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him."

8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake. 12 Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father. 13 Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it. 15 If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, *14:16 Greek παρακλητον: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, and Comforter. that he may be with you forever: 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"

23 Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

25 "I have said these things to you while still living with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. 28 You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I. 29 Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.

Ko Īhu te Huarahi ki te Matua

1 "Kei pōuri ō koutou ngākau; e whakapono ana koutou ki te Atua, whakapono hoki ki ahau. 2 He maha ngā nohoanga i roto i te whare o tōku Matua; me he kāhore, kua kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou. Ka haere hoki ahau ki te mea i tētahi wāhi hei tukunga ake mō koutou. 3 Ā, ki te haere ahau ki te mea wāhi hei tukunga ake mō koutou, ka haere mai anō ahau, ā, ka tango i a koutou ki ahau; kia noho ai hoki koutou ki te wāhi e noho ai ahau. 4 Nā, e mātau ana koutou ki te huarahi ki te wāhi e haere atu nei ahau."

5 Nā, ka mea a Tamati ki a ia, "E te Ariki, kāhore mātou e mātau ki te wāhi e haere nā koe; me pēhea ka mātau ai mātou ki te huarahi?"

6 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Ko ahau te huarahi, te pono, te ora; e kore rawa tētahi tangata e haere ake ki te Matua, ki te kāhore ahau. 7 Me i mātau koutou ki ahau, kua mātau anō ki tōku Matua. Nā i ēnei ake wā ka mōhio koutou ki a ia, kua kite anō hoki i a ia."

8 Ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, "E te Ariki, whakakitea te Matua ki a mātou, ā, ka tatū ō mātou ngākau."

9 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Roa noa atu tōku noho ki a koutou, ā, kāhore anō koe i mātau noa ki ahau, e Piripi? Ko ia kua kite i ahau kua kite hoki i te Matua; he aha koe ka mea ai, ‘Whakakitea mai te Matua ki a mātou?’ 10 E kore ianei koe e whakapono, ko ahau kei roto i te Matua, ko te Matua kei roto i ahau? Ko ngā kupu e kōrero nei ahau ki a koutou, ehara i te kōrero nāku ake; engari, nā te Matua e noho ana i roto i ahau, ko ia te mea ana i ngā mahi. 11 Whakapono mai ki ahau, kei roto ahau i te Matua, ko te Matua hoki kei roto i ahau; ki te kāhore, whakaaro ki ngā mahi, ka whakapono ai ki ahau. 12 He pono, he pono tāku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, ki te whakapono tētahi ki ahau, ko ngā mahi e mea nei ahau, e meinga anō e ia; ā, nui atu i ēnei āna e mea ai; nō te mea e haere ana ahau ki tōku Matua. 13 Ā, ko tā koutou e īnoi ai i runga i tōku ingoa, e meatia tēnei e ahau, kia whai korōria ai te Matua i te Tama. 14 Ki te īnoia e koutou tētahi mea i ahau i runga i tōku ingoa, māku e whakamana."

Te Whakaaria o te Wairua Tapu

15 "Ki te aroha koutou ki ahau, kia mau ki āku ture. 16 Ka īnoi ahau ki te Matua, ā, māna e hoatu ki a koutou tētahi atu Kaiwhakamārie, hei noho tonu ki a koutou. 17 Ko te Wairua o te pono; e kore nei e riro i te ao, nō te mea e kore e kite i a ia, e kore anō e mātau ki a ia. Kei a koutou hoki ia e noho ana, ā, ka noho anō i roto i a koutou.

18 "E kore koutou e waiho pani e ahau. E haere mai anō ahau ki a koutou. 19 Taro ake, ā, heoi anō kitenga o te ao i ahau; ko koutou ia e kite i ahau; e ora ana ahau, ka ora anō koutou. 20 Ā taua rā koutou mātau ai kei roto ahau i tōku Matua, ko koutou anō kei roto i ahau, me ahau hoki kei roto i a koutou.

21 "Ko te tangata kei a ia nei āku ture, e puritia ana hoki e ia, ko ia te aroha ana ki ahau: ki te aroha tētahi ki ahau, ka arohaina ia e tōku Matua, ā, ka aroha ahau ki a ia, ka whakaatu i ahau ki a ia."

22 Ka mea a Hūrā ki a ia (hāunga a Ikariote) "E te Ariki, he pēhea i whakaatu ai koe i a koe ki a mātou, ā, kāhore ki te ao?"

23 Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "Ki te aroha tētahi ki ahau, e puritia e ia tāku kupu, ā, ka arohaina ia e tōku Matua, ka haere atu māua ki a ia, ka noho tonu ki a ia. 24 Ki te kāhore tētahi e aroha ki ahau, e kore e puritia e ia āku kupu. Nā, ehara i ahau ake te kupu e rongo nei koutou, engari, nā te Matua i tonoa mai ai ahau.

25 "Kua kōrerotia nei e ahau ēnei mea ki a koutou, i ahau e noho nei i a koutou. 26 Nā, ko te kaiwhakamārie, arā ko te Wairua Tapu, e tonoa mai e te Matua i runga i tōku ingoa, māna koutou e whakaako ki ngā mea katoa, māna koutou e whakamahara ki ngā mea katoa kua kōrerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou. 27 He rangimārie tāku e waiho nei ki a koutou, tēnei tāku rangimārie te hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou. E kore e rite ki tā te ao hoatu tāku hoatu ki a koutou. Kei pōuri ō koutou ngākau, kei mataku.

28 "Kua rongo nā koutou ki tāku i mea ai ki a koutou, ‘E haere ana ahau, ā, ka hoki mai anō ki a koutou.’ Me i aroha koutou ki ahau, kua hari koutou, nōku i mea, ‘E haere ana ahau ki te Matua.’ He nui ake hoki tōku Matua i ahau. 29 Nā, kua kōrero nei ahau ki a koutou; i te mea kāhore anō i puta, mō te puta rawa mai, ka whakapono koutou. 30 E kore e maha ake āku kōrero ki a koutou. E haere mai ana hoki te ariki o tēnei ao, kāhore hoki āna wāhi i roto i ahau; 31 otirā, kia mātau ai te ao, e aroha ana ahau ki te Matua; ko tā te Matua anō i whakahau mai ai ki ahau, ko tāku tēnā e mea nei.

"Whakatika, ka haere atu tātou i konei."
