John 16

1 “I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.

1 “我把这些事告诉你们，以免你们背弃信仰。

2 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.

2 人们将把你们赶出会堂，时候将到，杀害你们的人还以为是在事奉上帝。

3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.

3 他们这样做，是因为他们根本不认识父，也不认识我。

4 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.

4 我把这些事提前告诉你们，是要叫你们到时候可以想起我曾跟你们讲过这些事。我以前没有告诉你们，那是因为我还跟你们在一起。

5 Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

5 “现在我要去差我来的父那里，你们没有人问我去哪里。

6 Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.

6 因为我把这些事告诉了你们，你们心里充满了忧愁。

7 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.

7 然而，我把实情告诉你们，我去对你们是有益的，因为如果我不去，护慰者就不会来，我去了就会派祂到你们这里来。

8 And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

8 祂来了，必让世人在罪、义和审判方面知罪。

9 in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;

9 关于罪，是因为他们不信我；

10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;

10 关于义，是因为我要去父那里，你们再也看不到我了；

11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

11 关于审判，是因为这世界的王受了审判。

12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.

12 “我还有许多事情要告诉你们，可是你们现在还不能承受。

13 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.

13 等到真理之灵来了，祂会引导你们进入一切真理。祂不凭自己说话，而是把祂所听见的和有关将来的事告诉你们。

14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.

14 祂也要把从我领受的指示你们，使我得荣耀。

15 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.

15 父的一切都是我的，所以我才说圣灵要把从我领受的指示你们。

16 In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”

16 “不久，你们就见不到我了。再过不久，你们还会看见我。”

17 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’?”

17 几个门徒彼此议论说：“祂说，‘不久，你们就见不到我了，再过不久，你们还会看见我’，又说，‘因为我要去父那里’，这到底是什么意思呢？

18 They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”

18 祂说‘不久’是什么意思呢？我们真不明白祂在说什么！”

19 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’?

19 耶稣知道他们想问祂，就说：“我说，‘不久，你们就见不到我了。再过不久，你们还会看见我。’你们在议论这话是什么意思吗？

20 Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

20 我实实在在地告诉你们，你们将痛哭、哀号，世人却要欢喜；你们将忧愁，然而你们的忧愁将变为喜乐。

21 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.

21 妇人分娩时都会痛苦，但孩子生下来后，她就会因为这世界添了一个新生命而欢喜，忘掉了生产的剧痛。

22 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.

22 同样，现在你们痛苦，但到我再见你们的时候，你们的心必欢喜，而且这份喜乐是谁也夺不去的。

23 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.

23 “到那一天，你们就什么也不用问我了。我实实在在地告诉你们，你们奉我的名无论向父求什么，祂都会赐给你们。

24 Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

24 你们从来没有奉我的名求过什么，你们现在求，就必得到，好使你们的喜乐满溢。

25 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.

25 “我一直用比喻跟你们讲这些事，不久，我就不再用比喻了，而是清楚地把父的事告诉你们。

26 In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

26 到那天，你们将要奉我的名祈求，我不是说我要为你们向父祈求。

27 For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

27 父爱你们，因为你们一直爱我，并且相信我来自上帝。

28 I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”

28 我从父那里来到这个世界，现在我要离开这个世界回到父那里。”

29 His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.

29 门徒说：“现在你直截了当地告诉我们，不再用比喻了。

30 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.”

30 现在我们知道你无所不知，无需人问你什么，因此我们相信你来自上帝。”

31 “Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.

31 耶稣说：“你们现在相信吗？

32 “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.

32 看啊！时候快到了，现在就是，你们将要分散，各自回家，只留下我一人。不过，我并非一人，因为父与我在一起。

33 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!”

33 我把这些事告诉你们，是要叫你们在我里面有平安。你们在世上会有苦难，但你们要放心，我已经胜过这个世界。”
