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 said these things, and then, lifting up his eyes toward heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has arrived: glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you,
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)
just as you have given authority over all flesh to him, so that he may give eternal life to all those whom you have given to 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 eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
4 Mi no ninkon me ni meme, Mi kle indu wa u ne ndi Mi tiwu'a.
I have glorified you on earth. I have completed the work that you gave me to accomplish.
5 Zizan, “Bachi ne ninkon wa me he niwu rji niwu ri ni ndu ba me gbungblu'a.
And now Father, glorify me within yourself, with the glory that I had with you before the world ever 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 manifested your name to the men whom you have given to me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me. And they have kept your word.
7 Zizan, ba to ndi ikpe wa u ne wawu ba rji ni wu yi,
Now they realize that all the things that you have given me are from you.
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 I have given them the words that you gave to me. And they have accepted these words, and they have truly understood that I went forth from you, and they have believed that you sent 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 do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given to me. For they are yours.
10 Ikpe wawu wa ahi u Mu'a, a hi u Me. U Me ahi u Mu. Mi kpa ninkon ni ba.
And all that is mine is yours, and all that is yours is mine, and I am glorified in this.
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 though I am not in the world, these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Father most holy, preserve them in your name, those whom you have given to me, so that they may be one, even 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, I preserved them in your name. I have guarded those whom you have given to me, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so 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 am coming to you. But I am speaking these things in the world, so that they may have the fullness of my joy within 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 your word, and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I, too, 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 am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from evil.
16 Ba na bi gbungblu'a na, na wa mina u gbungblu'a na.
They are not of the world, just as I also am not of the world.
17 Zi ba nkan nitu Me u njanji lantre Me a njanji.
Sanctify them in truth. Your word is truth.
18 Na niwa u ton Me ni gbungblu'a, naki Mi ton ba hi ni gbungblu'a.
Just as you have sent me into the world, I also have sent 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 it is for them that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may be sanctified in truth.
20 Mina tre niwu nitu iwa kankrji ma na, ani biwa ba kpa nyeme ni Me nitu tre mba'a
But I am not praying for them only, but also for those who through their word shall believe in me.
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.
So may they all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you, so also may they be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have 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 that you have given to me, I have given to them, so that they may be one, just as we also 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 am in them, and you are in me. So may they be perfected as one. And may the world know that you have sent me and that you have loved them, just as you have also 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 will that where I am, those whom you have given to me may also be with me, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me. For you loved me before the founding 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.
Father most just, the world has not known you. But I have known you. And these have known that you 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 your name to them, and I will make it known, so that the love in which you have loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.”
