Yochanan 16:5-18 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

5. But now I am going to the One who sent me. And none of you asks me, Where are you going?

6. But because I have spoken these things to you, agmat nefesh (grief) has filled your levavot (heart).

7. But I tell HaEmes (the truth), it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Melitz Yosher (Praklit, Advocate, Counselor, Helper in Court) will not come to you. But if go, I will send Him (the Ruach Hakodesh) to you.

8. And having come, that one will expose and convict the Olam Hazeh concerning Chet and concerning Tzedek and concerning Mishpat:

9. Concerning Chet (Sin), because they do not have emunah in me;

10. Concerning Tzedek [DANIEL 9:24] because I go to HaAv and no longer do you see me;

11. And concerning Mishpat (Judgment) because the Sar HaOlam Hazeh has been judged.

12. Yet many things I have to tell you, but you are not able to bear them now.

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.
