Yohana 17
1 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵalolite kwinani ni kuti, “Atati, katema kaiche. Mwape ukulu Mwana gwenu kuti Mwana gwenu nombe ampe ukulu.
Jesus spoke these things, raising His eyes to Heaven and saying: “Father, the hour has come! Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son also may glorify You,
2 Pakuŵa mwapele Mwana gwenu ulamusi pa ŵandu wose kuti ŵandu wose umwapele ŵape umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
just as You gave Him authority over all humanity, so that He will give eternal life to all those whom You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)
3 Ni umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wo ni au, ŵandu ammanyilile mmwe ŵandi Akunnungu ŵamope ŵa usyene, ni kwamanya Che Yesu Kilisito umwatumile. (aiōnios g166)
Now eternal life is this: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One whom You sent—Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
4 Uneji jwammale kunkusya pachilambo kwa kumalisya masengo gamwambele kuti nagapanganye.
I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work that You have given me to do.
5 Atati ŵangu, sambano mumbe ukulu paujo penu, ukulu ulaula unakwete pamo nomwe, chikanaŵe gumbikwa chilambo.
So now, Father, You glorify me by Your side with the glory that I had along with You before the world existed!
6 “Nantesile mmanyiche ni ŵandu umwambele pachilambo ŵala. Ŵanyawo ŵaliji ŵenu ni mwambele uneji kuti aŵe ŵangu, nombewo alijitichisye liloŵe lyenu.
“I have revealed Your name to the men whom You have given me out of the world. They were Yours and You gave them to me, and they have kept Your word.
7 Sambano ŵanyawo akuimanyilila kuti yose imwambele uneji ityosile kukwenu.
They now know that everything You have given to me is from You;
8 Pakuŵa maloŵe gamwambele uneji napele ŵanyawo, ni ŵanyawo akugakulupilila maloŵe go. Akumanyilila kwa isyene kuti natyochele kukwenu, ni sooni ajitichisye kuti mmwe ni jumwandumile une.
because I have given them the sayings which You have given to me; and they have received and known for sure that I came forth from You, and they have believed that You sent me.
9 “Ngwapopelela ŵanyawo. Ngangwapopelela ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo, nambo ŵele umwambele wo pakuŵa ali ŵenu.
I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom You have given me, because they are yours.
10 Wose ungwete ali ŵenu, ni ŵenu ali ŵangu, ni ukulu wangu uwoneche kwa litala lya ŵele umwambele wo.
Actually, all my things are Yours and Yours are mine, and I have been glorified in them.
11 Ni sambano ngwika kukwenu, uneji nguuŵa sooni pachilambo, nambo aŵaŵa alinji pachilambo. Atati ŵangu Ŵaswela mwagose kwa machili ga liina lyenu limumbele, kuti aŵe ŵamo mpela une ni mmwe ituli ŵamo.
Now I am no longer in the world, yet these are in the world, and I am coming to You. “Holy Father, keep them in Your name which You have given to me, so that they may be one just as we are.
12 Panaliji pamo nawo, une naagosile kwa machili ga liina lyenu limumbele, naagosile ni ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwasochele ikaŵe ajula juŵasagulikwe kujonasika, kuti Malembelo ga Akunnungu gamalile.
While I was with them in the world I kept them in Your name. I protected those whom You gave me, and not one of them was lost except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 Nambo sambano ngwika kukwenu, nguŵecheta gelega pachilambo kuti ŵanyawo agumbale kusengwa kwangu mmitima jao.
But now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made full in them.
14 Une napele liloŵe lyenu, ni ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ŵaachimile ŵanyawo pakuŵa ŵanyawo nganaŵa ŵa pachilambo, mpela ila uneji nganima jwa pachilambo.
“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 Nganguŵenda kuti mmwe mwatyosye mchilambo, nambo ngupopela mwagose ni Shetani jwaali jwangalumbana.
I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the malignant one.
16 Ŵanyawo nganaŵa ŵa pachilambo pano, uneji nombe nganiŵa jwa pachilambo.
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17 Mwatende aŵe ŵandu ŵenu ŵaswela kwa litala lya usyene, liloŵe lyenu lili usyene.
Sanctify them by Your Truth; Your Word is Truth.
18 Mpela ila imwatite pakunduma une mchilambo, ni une nombe natumile ŵelewo mchilambo.
Just as You sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
19 Une ngulityosya nansyene kwaligongo lyao, kuti nombewo alityosye kusyene kukwenu.
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “Ngangwapopelela ŵanyawo pe, nambo ngwapopelela nombe ŵandu wose ŵachangulupilile kwaligongo lya majiganyo gao.
“I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe into me through their word;
21 Ngupopela kuti wose aŵe chindu chimo. Atati, ngupopela kuti atame nkati mwetu mpela ila mmwe inkuti kutama nkati mwangu, noneji inguti kutama nkati mwenu. Ngupopela aŵe chindu chimo kuti ŵandu ŵa pachilambo akulupilile kuti mmwe ni jumundumile une.
that they all may be one, just as You, Father, are in me and I in You; that in Us they also may be one, so that the world may believe that You sent me.
22 Noneji naapele ukulu ulaula umwambele uneji, kuti aŵeje ŵamo mpela ila uweji ituli ŵamo.
In fact, the glory that You gave to me I have given to them, so that they may be one just as We are one:
23 Uneji ndame mwa ŵanyawo nombe mmwe mwa uneji. Atendekwe kuŵa ŵamo, ni ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo amanyilile kuti mmwe ni jumwandumile ni kuti nkwanonyela ŵelewo mpela inkuti pakunonyela uneji.
I in them and You in me, so that they may be perfected into one; also so that the world may know that You sent me, and have loved them just as You have loved me.
24 “Atati, wose umumbele ngusaka aŵeje pamo ni uneji pepala pandili une kuti aulole ukulu wangu, ukulu umumbele ligongo mwanonyele uneji chilambo chikanigumbikwe.
“Father, those whom You have given to me, I desire that they also may be with me where I am, so that they may observe my glory, which You have given me, because You loved me before the founding of the world.
25 Atati ŵambone, namuno ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ngakummanya nambo uneji nammanyi. Ŵelewo nombe akumanyilila kuti mmwe mwandumile une.
Righteous Father! Indeed the world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent me.
26 Nantesile mmanyiche kukwao, nombe chimbundisye kutenda yeleyo kuti unonyelo undi nawo kukwangu uŵe mwa ŵanyawo, ni uneji meje mwa ŵanyawo.”
Yes, I have made Your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which You have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
