Yochanan 16:22-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

28. I came from HaAv and I have come into the Olam Hazeh. Again I leave the Olam Hazeh and go to HaAv.

29. The talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach say, Hinei, see now you speak plainly and no longer figuratively do you speak.

30. Now we know that you have da'as of all things, and you have no need that any test you with any she'elah (question). By this we have emunah that you came forth from Hashem. [1Kg 17:24]

31. He answered them, Do you have emunah?
