Yohana 17
1 Ni kogon wa Yesu tre yi, a nzu shishi hi ni shulu na tre, “Iti, inton yeye, no Vren Me ninkonni ndu Vren Me ndu no'u ninkon -
Jesus spoke these words, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: Father, the hour has come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son may also glorify thee;
2 ni wa u no gbengblen nitu bi nama kpa wawu ni ndu no re (ivri) u son hi ni tuntur ko indji ri me wa wu no'a. (aiōnios g166)
as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all that thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)
3 Iwa ahi re (ivri) u tuntur, wa ba to, ba to wuyi nkrji Me Wu Irji, niwa u ton Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)
And this is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent. (aiōnios g166)
4 Mi no ninkon me ni meme, Mi kle indu wa u ne ndi Mi tiwu'a.
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 Zizan, “Bachi ne ninkon wa me he niwu rji niwu ri ni ndu ba me gbungblu'a.
And now, Father, glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 Mi ye yar inde rju ni ndi biwa u ne ba ni gbungblu'a. Bana bi Me u wu ne ba, u ba nji tre me.
I have made known thy name to the men that thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them, to me, and they have kept thy word.
7 Zizan, ba to ndi ikpe wa u ne wawu ba rji ni wu yi,
Now they know that all things that thou hast given me are from thee;
8 Mi no ba wawu lan tre Me wa wu ne. Ba kpa ba na to nda a njanji Mi rji ni Wu, na kpa nyeme ndi a wu u ton me.
for the words which thou gavest me I have given them; and they have received them, and they know surely that I came forth from thee, and they believe that thou didst send me.
9 Mi tre niwu bawu (addu'a), Mi tre niwu ni bi gbungblu'a na, se ni bi wa u ne ni ba, biki babi Me.
I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 Ikpe wawu wa ahi u Mu'a, a hi u Me. U Me ahi u Mu. Mi kpa ninkon ni ba.
And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 Mi na la u gbungblu'a ngana, u ba ndji biyi ba he ni gbungblu'a, u Mi si yi niwu. Tsatsra Ti, zi ba ni mi nde Me wa u ne ni ndu ba riri, nawa kita me ki riri.
And I am no longer in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are one.
12 Niwa mina he ni ba, Mi ziba pyan me ni mi nde Me, ni wa u ne, Mi ka ba, u riri ni mi mbu ana yra tu na, se mri bi zyi bubu'a, ni ndu lantre'a shu.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me, I have kept; and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.
13 Zizan Mi si ye niwu, Mi si tre kpi biyi ni gbungblu'a ni ndu ingyiri Mu ndu shu ni ba.
And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 Mi no ba lan tre Me'a, u gbungblu'a kama ni ba nitu wa ba u lantre na, na wa Mi na u gbungblu'a na.
I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 Mi tre ni ndu vu ba rju ni gbungblu'a na ni ndu zi ba zizyime ni mi bi meme ba.
I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the Evil One.
16 Ba na bi gbungblu'a na, na wa mina u gbungblu'a na.
They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17 Zi ba nkan nitu Me u njanji lantre Me a njanji.
Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth.
18 Na niwa u ton Me ni gbungblu'a, naki Mi ton ba hi ni gbungblu'a.
As thou hast sent me into the world, so I send them into the world;
19 Mi mla tu Mu zi niwu nitu mba, ni ndu ba mla tu-mba zi me niwu ni mi njanji.
and for them I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth.
20 Mina tre niwu nitu iwa kankrji ma na, ani biwa ba kpa nyeme ni Me nitu tre mba'a
I pray, not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word;
21 ni ndu ba wawu mba hi ririi, nawu, Bachi, Wu he nimi Mu, u Ime nimi Me. Mi bre ni ndu ba he nimi Mbu, ni ndu gbungblu'a kpa nyeme ndi u ton Me.
that they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 Ninkon wa U ne'a, Ime me Mi ka no ba, ni ndu ba hi ririi, nawa kita me ki riri'a:
And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;
23 Ime nimi mba, u Wu nimi Mu - ndi dun ba nji tu-mba ye katu bi, ni ndi dun gbungblu'a ni to ndi u ton Me, andi U son ba na wa U son Me.
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Iti, Mi son biwa U kaba ne ndu ba he ni Me ni wurji wa Mi he yi, na to ninkon Mu, ninkon wa U Ne u nitu U son Me ri kuko ndi zi nchi gbungblu'a.
Father, I wish that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.
25 Tsatsra Ti, gbungblu'a na to Wu na, Ime Mi to'u, u ba ton nda ahi Wu yi U ton Me.
Righteous Father, though the world has not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 Mi hla bawu inde Me, Mi la hla ni bawu nitu son Me wa U ndu he ni Me ni mi mba.
And I have made known to them thy name, and will continue to make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
