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 -
When Jesus had ended this discourse, he said, lifting up his eyes to heaven, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may 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 men, that he may bestow eternal life, on all those whom 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)
Now this is the life eternal, to know thee the only true God, and Jesus, the Messiah, thy Apostle. (aiōnios g166)
4 Mi no ninkon me ni meme, Mi kle indu wa u ne ndi Mi tiwu'a.
I have glorified thee upon 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 thou me in thy own presence, with that glory which I enjoyed 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 whom those hast given me of the world. They were thine; and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Zizan, ba to ndi ikpe wa u ne wawu ba rji ni wu yi,
Whatsoever thou hast given me, they now know to have come 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.
and that thou hast imparted to me the doctrine, which I have imparted to them. They have received it, knowing for certain, that I came forth from thee, and am commissioned by thee.
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.
It is for them that I pray. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; because 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 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.
I continue no longer in the world; but these continue in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, preserve them in thy name, whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
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 hast given me, I have preserved. None of them in lost, except the son of perdition, as the scripture foretold.
13 Zizan Mi si ye niwu, Mi si tre kpi biyi ni gbungblu'a ni ndu ingyiri Mu ndu shu ni ba.
But now that I am coming to thee, I speak these things in the world, that their joy in me may be complete.
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 delivered thy word to them, and the world hates 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 remove them out of the world, but to preserve them from evil.
16 Ba na bi gbungblu'a na, na wa mina u gbungblu'a na.
Of the world they are not, as I am not of the world.
17 Zi ba nkan nitu Me u njanji lantre Me a njanji.
Consecrate them by the truth; thy word is the truth.
18 Na niwa u ton Me ni gbungblu'a, naki Mi ton ba hi ni gbungblu'a.
As thou hast made me thy Apostle to the world, I have made them my Apostles to the world.
19 Mi mla tu Mu zi niwu nitu mba, ni ndu ba mla tu-mba zi me niwu ni mi njanji.
And I consecrate myself for them, that they may be consecrated through the truth.
20 Mina tre niwu nitu iwa kankrji ma na, ani biwa ba kpa nyeme ni Me nitu tre mba'a
Nor do I pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on me through their teaching;
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 all may be one; that as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, they also 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 that thou gavest me the glory, which 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 their union may be perfected; that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou lovest them, as thou lovest 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 would that where I shall be, those whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me, because thou lovedst me before the formation 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 knows not thee, I know thee; and these know that I have thy commission.
26 Mi hla bawu inde Me, Mi la hla ni bawu nitu son Me wa U ndu he ni Me ni mi mba.
And to them I have communicated, and will communicate thy name: that I being in them, they may share in the love with which thou lovest me.
