Yochanan 16:13-27 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

13. But when that One has come, the Ruach Hakodesh, the Ruach HaEmes, He will guide you in all truth. [TEHILLIM 25:5] For He will not speak on His own authority, but what things He will hear, He will speak, and the things that are to come He will announce to you.

14. That One will give kavod to me, because He will receive of what is mine, and will announce it to you.

15. All things which HaAv has are mine; therefore, I said that of mine He receives and will announce it to you.

16. A little time and you no longer see me. And again a little time, and you will see me.

17. Therefore, some of the talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to one another, What is this which he says to us? A little time and you do not see me. And, again, A little time and you will see me? And, Because I go to HaAv ?

18. Therefore, they were saying, What is this, which he says, A little time? We do not have da'as of what he says.

19. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach knew that they were wanting to ask him. And he said to them, About this you inquire of one another that I said, A little time and you do not see me. And, again, a little time and you will see me?

20. Omein, omein, I say to you, that there will be bechi (weeping) and avelut (mourning), but the Olam Hazeh will have simcha. You will have agmat nefesh, but your agmat nefesh (grief) will become simcha [TEHILLIM 30:6 (5)]

21. The isha (woman) when she gives birth, has agmat nefesh (grief), [YESHAYAH 13:8; 21:3; 26:17; MICHOH 4:9; HOSHEA 13:13] because the sha'ah (hour, time) of her has come. But when she gives birth to the yeled, she no longer has zikaron of the Tribulation because of the naches that an ish was born into the Olam Hazeh.

22. Therefore, you have agmat nefesh (grief) now, [YIRMEYAH 31:12] but again I will see you, and your levavot will have rejoicing [YESHAYAH 66:14 TARGUM HASHIVIM] and the simcha of you no one takes from you.

23. And on that day you will not ask me anything. Omein, omein, I say to you, whatever you ask HaAv b'Shem of me, He will give it to you.

24. Until now you did not ask anything b'Shem of me. Ask and you will receive that the simcha of you may be shleimah.

25. Regarding these things I have spoken figuratively. [TEHILLIM 78:2; YECHEZKEL 20:49] A sha'ah comes when no longer I will speak figuratively to you, but will announce plainly to you concerning HaAv.

26. On that day b'Shem of me you will ask, and I do not say to you that I will ask HaAv concerning you.

27. For HaAv Himself has ahavah for you, because you have ahavah for me and have emunah that I came forth from HaAv.
