Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁ δὲ κόσμος χαρήσεται
the but world /will_be_being/_elated
Here Jesus uses world to refer to the people in the world who oppose God. See how you translated world 14:17.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὑμεῖς λυπηθήσεσθε
you_all you_all /will_be_being/_sorrowed
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “You will have grief” or “What happens will grieve you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἡ λύπη ὑμῶν εἰς χαρὰν γενήσεται
the sorrow ˱of˲_you_all to joy /will_be/_becoming
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of sorrow and joy, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “you will change from being sorrowful to being joyful”
16:20 At the crucifixion, the world thought it had won a victory over the light. The shock of the cross would cause the disciples to weep and mourn, but their sorrow would change to joy when Jesus defeated the grave (20:20).
OET (OET-LV) Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you_all that you_all will_be_weeping and will_be_lamenting, but the world will_be_being_elated, you_all will_be_being_sorrowed, but the sorrow of_you_all will_be_becoming to joy.
OET (OET-RV) I can assure you that you’ll be weeping and mourning but the world will be elated. You’ll be upset but then your upset will turn into happiness.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
