约翰福音 16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
圣灵的工作
16 “我把这些事告诉你们，以免你们失去信心。 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 他们这样做，是因为他们根本不认识父，也不认识我。 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 “现在我要去差我来的父那里，你们没有人问我去哪里。 6 因为我把这些事告诉了你们，你们心里充满了忧愁。 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 祂来了，就要在罪、义、审判方面责备世人。 9 在罪方面责备他们，是因为他们不信我； 10 在义方面责备他们，是因为我要去父那里，你们再也看不到我了； 11 在审判方面责备他们，是因为这世界的王受了审判。
12 “我还有许多事情要告诉你们，可是你们现在不能明白。 13 等到真理之灵来了，祂会引导你们，让你们明白一切的真理。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 祂也要把从我那里领受的指示你们，使我得荣耀。 15 因为父的一切都是我的，所以我才说祂要把从我那里领受的指示你们。
转忧为喜
16 “不久，你们就见不到我了，再过不久，你们还会看见我。”
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’，祂又说，‘因为我要去父那里’，这到底是什么意思呢？ 18 祂说‘不久’是什么意思呢？我们真不明白！”
19 耶稣知道他们想问祂，就说：“你们在议论我刚才说的话是什么意思吗？ 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 妇人分娩时都会痛苦不已，但孩子生下来后，她就会因为这世界添了一个新生命而充满欢乐，忘掉了生产的痛苦。 22 同样，现在你们有忧愁，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 “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 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。
胜过世界
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 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 父爱你们，因为你们一直爱我，并且相信我来自上帝。 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 门徒说：“如今你直截了当地告诉我们，不再用比喻了。 30 现在我们知道你无所不知，无需人向你发问，因此我们相信你来自上帝。”
31 耶稣说：“你们现在相信吗？ 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 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。”
Juan 16
Dios Habla Hoy
16 »Les digo estas cosas para que no pierdan su fe en mí. 2 Los expulsarán de las sinagogas, y aun llegará el momento en que cualquiera que los mate creerá que así presta un servicio a Dios. 3 Esto lo harán porque no nos han conocido, ni al Padre ni a mí. 4 Les digo esto para que, cuando llegue el momento, se acuerden de que yo se lo había dicho ya.
Lo que hace el Espíritu Santo
»No les dije esto desde un principio porque yo estaba con ustedes. 5 Pero ahora me voy para estar con el que me ha enviado, y ninguno de ustedes me pregunta a dónde voy; 6 al contrario, se han puesto muy tristes porque les he dicho estas cosas. 7 Pero les digo la verdad: es mejor para ustedes que yo me vaya. Porque si no me voy, el Defensor no vendrá para estar con ustedes; pero si me voy, yo se lo enviaré. 8 Cuando él venga, mostrará claramente a la gente del mundo quién es pecador, quién es inocente, y quién recibe el juicio de Dios. 9 Quién es pecador: el que no cree en mí; 10 quién es inocente: yo, que voy al Padre, y ustedes ya no me verán; 11 quién recibe el juicio de Dios: el que gobierna este mundo, que ya ha sido condenado.
12 »Tengo mucho más que decirles, pero en este momento sería demasiado para ustedes. 13 Cuando venga el Espíritu de la verdad, él los guiará a toda verdad; porque no hablará por su propia cuenta, sino que dirá todo lo que oiga, y les hará saber las cosas que van a suceder. 14 Él mostrará mi gloria, porque recibirá de lo que es mío y se lo dará a conocer a ustedes. 15 Todo lo que el Padre tiene, es mío también; por eso dije que el Espíritu recibirá de lo que es mío y se lo dará a conocer a ustedes.
16 »Dentro de poco, ustedes ya no me verán, pero un poco más tarde me volverán a ver.
La tristeza se cambiará en alegría
17 Entonces algunos de sus discípulos se preguntaron unos a otros:
—¿Qué quiere decir con esto? Nos dice que dentro de poco ya no lo veremos, y que un poco más tarde lo volveremos a ver, y que es porque se va a donde está el Padre. 18 ¿Qué quiere decir con eso de “dentro de poco”? No entendemos de qué está hablando.
19 Jesús se dio cuenta de que querían hacerle preguntas, y les dijo:
—Yo les he dicho que dentro de poco ya no me verán, y que un poco más tarde me volverán a ver. ¿Es esto lo que se están preguntando ustedes? 20 Les aseguro que ustedes llorarán y estarán tristes, mientras que la gente del mundo se alegrará. Sin embargo, aunque ustedes estén tristes, su tristeza se convertirá en alegría. 21 Cuando una mujer va a dar a luz, se aflige porque le ha llegado la hora; pero después que nace la criatura, se olvida del dolor a causa de la alegría de que haya nacido un hombre en el mundo. 22 Así también, ustedes se afligen ahora; pero yo volveré a verlos, y entonces su corazón se llenará de alegría, una alegría que nadie les podrá quitar.
23 »En aquel día ya no me preguntarán nada. Les aseguro que el Padre les dará todo lo que le pidan en mi nombre. 24 Hasta ahora, ustedes no han pedido nada en mi nombre; pidan y recibirán, para que su alegría sea completa.
Jesucristo, vencedor del mundo
25 »Les he dicho estas cosas poniéndoles comparaciones; pero viene la hora en que ya no les pondré más comparaciones, sino que les hablaré claramente acerca del Padre. 26 Aquel día, ustedes le pedirán en mi nombre; y no digo que yo voy a rogar por ustedes al Padre, 27 porque el Padre mismo los ama. Los ama porque ustedes me aman a mí, y porque han creído que yo he venido de Dios. 28 Salí de la presencia del Padre para venir a este mundo, y ahora dejo el mundo para volver al Padre.
29 Entonces dijeron sus discípulos:
—Ahora sí estás hablando claramente, sin usar comparaciones. 30 Ahora vemos que sabes todas las cosas y que no hay necesidad de que nadie te haga preguntas. Por esto creemos que has venido de Dios.
31 Jesús les contestó:
—¿Así que ahora creen? 32 Pues ya llega la hora, y es ahora mismo, cuando ustedes se dispersarán cada uno por su lado, y me dejarán solo. Pero no estoy solo, porque el Padre está conmigo. 33 Les digo todo esto para que encuentren paz en su unión conmigo. En el mundo, ustedes habrán de sufrir; pero tengan valor: yo he vencido al mundo.
John 16
King James Version
16 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said 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 depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is 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 will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: 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 cannot tell what he saith.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: 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: and 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 as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
26 At 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 out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30 Now are we sure 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 now 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 I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16
New American Standard Bible
Jesus’ Warning
16 “(A)These things I have spoken to you so that you will not [a]be (B)led into sin. 2 They will [b](C)ban you from the synagogue, yet (D)an hour is coming for everyone (E)who kills you to think that he is offering a [c]service to God. 3 These things they will do (F)because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4 But these things I have spoken to you, (G)so that when their hour comes, you [d]may remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you (H)at the beginning, because I was with you.
The Holy Spirit Promised
5 “But now (I)I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘(J)Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, (K)grief has filled your heart. 7 But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the [e](L)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, (M)I will send Him to you. 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: 9 regarding sin, (N)because they do not believe in Me; 10 and regarding (O)righteousness, because (P)I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me; 11 (Q)and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time. 13 But when He, (R)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will (S)guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14 He will (T)glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 (U)All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.
Jesus’ Death and Resurrection Foretold
16 “(V)A little while, and (W)you no longer are going to see Me; and again a little while, and (X)you will see Me.” 17 So some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He is telling us, ‘(Y)A little while, and you are not going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because (Z)I am going to the Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.” 19 (AA)Jesus knew that they wanted to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you are not going to see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’? 20 Truly, truly I say to you that (AB)you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but (AC)your grief will be turned into joy! 21 (AD)Whenever a woman is in labor she has [f]pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a [g]child has been born into the world. 22 Therefore (AE)you too have grief now; but (AF)I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you.
Prayer Promises
23 And (AG)on that day (AH)you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly I say to you, (AI)if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. 24 (AJ)Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your (AK)joy may be made full.
25 “These things I have spoken to you in (AL)figures of speech; (AM)an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 (AN)On that day (AO)you will ask in My name, and I am not saying to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 27 for (AP)the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and (AQ)have believed that (AR)I came forth from the Father. 28 (AS)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and (AT)going to the Father.”
29 His disciples *said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and are not [h]using any (AU)figure of speech. 30 Now we know that You know all things, and that You have no need for anyone to question You; this is why we (AV)believe that You (AW)came forth from God.” 31 Jesus replied to them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, (AX)an hour is coming, and has already come, for (AY)you to be scattered, each to (AZ)his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet (BA)I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you so that (BB)in Me you may have peace. (BC)In the world you have tribulation, but (BD)take courage; (BE)I have overcome the world.”
