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 -
After Jesus said these things, he lifted up his eyes to the heavens and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son so that the Son will 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 gave him authority over all flesh so that he would give eternal life to everyone whom you have 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)
This is eternal life: That they know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
4 Mi no ninkon me ni meme, Mi kle indu wa u ne ndi Mi tiwu'a.
I glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work that you have given me to do.
5 Zizan, “Bachi ne ninkon wa me he niwu rji niwu ri ni ndu ba me gbungblu'a.
Now, Father, glorify me along with yourself with the glory that I had with you before the world was made.
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 revealed your name to the people whom you gave 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 know that everything that you have given me comes 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 all the words that you gave me. They received them and truly knew that I came from you, and they 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 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.
Everything that is mine is yours, and yours is 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 am no longer in the world, but these people are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me so that they will be one, just 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 kept them in your name, which you have given me. I protected them, and not one of them was destroyed, except for the son of destruction, so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.
13 Zizan Mi si ye niwu, Mi si tre kpi biyi ni gbungblu'a ni ndu ingyiri Mu ndu shu ni ba.
Now I am coming to you, but I am saying these things in the world so that they will 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 your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just 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 ask for you to take them away from the world, but for you 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, just as I am not of the world.
17 Zi ba nkan nitu Me u njanji lantre Me a njanji.
Set them apart by the 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 sent me into the world, so I 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.
For their sakes I have set myself apart, so that they themselves may also be set apart in truth.
20 Mina tre niwu nitu iwa kankrji ma na, ani biwa ba kpa nyeme ni Me nitu tre mba'a
I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in 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.
so that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world will 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:
The glory that you gave me, I have given to them, so that they will be one, just 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 you in me—that they may be brought to complete unity, so that the world will know that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you 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 want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you gave me because you loved me before the creation 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, the world did not know you, but I know you; and these know 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.
I made your name known to them, and I will make it known so that the love with which you have loved me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
