John 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
1 “These things I have spoken to you, so that you would not stumble.	1 «Les he dicho esto para que no se escandalicen.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues. But the hour is coming when everyone who puts you to death will consider that he is offering an excellent service to God.	2 Serán echados de las sinagogas, más aún, llegará la hora en que los mismos que les den muerte pensarán que tributan culto a Dios.
3 And they will do these things to you because they have not known the Father, nor me.	3 Y los tratarán así porque no han conocido ni al Padre ni a mí.
4 But these things I have spoken to you, so that, when the hour for these things will have arrived, you may remember that I told you.	4 Les he advertido esto para que cuando llegue esa hora, recuerden que ya lo había dicho. No les dije estas cosas desde el principio, porque yo estaba con ustedes.
5 But I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I am going to him who sent me. And no one among you has asked me, ‘Where are you going?’	5 Ahora me voy al que me envió, y ninguno de ustedes me pregunta: «¿A dónde vas?».
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.	6 Pero al decirles esto, ustedes se han entristecido.
7 But I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I am going. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But when I will have gone away, I will send him to you.	7 Sin embargo, les digo la verdad: les conviene que yo me vaya, porque si no me voy, el Paráclito no vendrá a ustedes. Pero si me voy, se lo enviaré.
8 And when he has arrived, he will argue against the world, about sin and about justice and about judgment:	8 Y cuando él venga, probará al mundo dónde está el pecado, dónde está la justicia y cuál es el juicio.
9 about sin, indeed, because they have not believed in me;	9 El pecado está en no haber creído en mí.
10 about justice, truly, because I am going to the Father, and you will not see me any longer;	10 La justicia, en que yo me voy al Padre y ustedes ya no me verán.
11 about judgment, then, because the prince of this world has already been judged.	11 Y el juicio, en que el Príncipe de este mundo ya ha sido condenado.
12 I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.	12 Todavía tengo muchas cosas que decirles, pero ustedes no las pueden comprender ahora.
13 But when the Spirit of truth has arrived, he will teach the whole truth to you. For he will not be speaking from himself. Instead, whatever he will hear, he will speak. And he will announce to you the things that are to come.	13 Cuando venga el Espíritu de la Verdad, él los introducirá en toda la verdad, porque no hablará por sí mismo, sino que dirá lo que ha oído y les anunciará lo que irá sucediendo.
14 He shall glorify me. For he will receive from what is mine, and he will announce it to you.	14 El me glorificará, porque recibirá de lo mío y se lo anunciará a ustedes.
15 All things whatsoever that the Father has are mine. For this reason, I said that he will receive from what is mine and that he will announce it to you.	15 Todo lo que es del Padre es mío. Por eso les digo: «Recibirá de lo mío y se lo anunciará a ustedes».
16 A little while, and then you will not see me. And again a little while, and you will see me. For I am going to the Father.”	16 Dentro de poco, ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver».
17 Then some of his disciples said to one another: “What is this, that he is saying to us: ‘A little while, and you will not see me,’ and ‘Again a little while, and you will see me,’ and, ‘For I am going to the Father?’ ”	17 Entonces algunos de sus discípulos comentaban entre sí: «¿Qué significa esto que nos dice: «Dentro de poco ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver?».
18 And they said: “What is this, that he is saying, ‘A little while?’ We do not understand what he is saying.”	18 Decían: «¿Qué es este poco de tiempo? No entendemos lo que quiere decir».
19 But Jesus realized that they wanted to question him, and so he said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about this, that I said: ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’	19 Jesús se dio cuenta de que deseaban interrogarlo y les dijo: «Ustedes se preguntan entre sí qué significan mis palabras: «Dentro de poco, ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver».
20 Amen, amen, I say to you, that you shall mourn and weep, but the world will rejoice. And you shall be greatly saddened, yet your sorrow shall be turned into joy.	20 Les aseguro que ustedes van a llorar y se van a lamentar; el mundo, en cambio, se alegrará. Ustedes estarán tristes, pero esa tristeza se convertirá en gozo.
21 A woman, when she is giving birth, has sorrow, because her hour has arrived. But when she has given birth to the child, then she no longer remembers the difficulties, because of the joy: for a man has been born into the world.	21 La mujer, cuando va a dar a luz, siente angustia porque le llegó la hora; pero cuando nace el niño, se olvida de su dolor, por la alegría que siente al ver que ha venido un hombre al mundo.
22 Therefore, you also, indeed, have sorrow now. But I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice. And no one will take away your joy from you.	22 También ustedes ahora están tristes, pero yo los volveré a ver, y tendrán una alegría que nadie les podrá quitar.
23 And, in that day, you will not petition me for anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in my name, he will give it to you.	23 Aquél día no me harán más preguntas. Les aseguro que todo lo que pidan al Padre, él se lo concederá en mi Nombre.
24 Until now, you have not requested anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, so that your joy may be full.	24 Hasta ahora, no han pedido nada en mi Nombre. Pidan y recibirán, y tendrán una alegría que será perfecta.
25 I have spoken these things to you in proverbs. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in proverbs; instead, I will announce to you plainly from the Father.	25 Les he dicho todo esto por medio de parábolas. Llega la hora en que ya no les hablaré por medio de parábolas, sino que les hablaré claramente del Padre.
26 In that day, you shall ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you.	26 Aquel día ustedes pedirán en mi Nombre; y no será necesario que yo ruegue al Padre por ustedes,
27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and because you have believed that I went forth from God.	27 ya que él mismo los ama, porque ustedes me aman y han creído que yo vengo de Dios.
28 I went forth from the Father, and I have come into the world. Next I am leaving the world, and I am going to the Father.”	28 Salí del Padre y vine al mundo. Ahora dejo el mundo y voy al Padre».
29 His disciples said to him: “Behold, now you are speaking plainly and not reciting a proverb.	29 Sus discípulos le dijeron: «Por fin hablas claro y sin parábolas.
30 Now we know that you know all things, and that you have no need for anyone to question you. By this, we believe that you went forth from God.”	30 Ahora conocemos que tú lo sabes todo y no hace falta hacerte preguntas. Por eso creemos que tú has salido de Dios».
31 Jesus answered them: “Do you believe now?	31 Jesús les respondió: «¿Ahora creen?
32 Behold, the hour is coming, and it has now arrived, when you will be scattered, each one on his own, and you will leave me behind, alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.	32 Se acerca la hora, y ya ha llegado, en que ustedes se dispersarán cada uno por su lado, y me dejarán solo. Pero no, no estoy solo, porque el Padre está conmigo.
33 These things I have spoken to you, so that you may have peace in me. In the world, you will have difficulties. But have confidence: I have overcome the world.”	33 Les digo esto para que encuentren la paz en mí. En el mundo tendrán que sufrir; pero tengan valor: yo he vencido al mundo».
