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.
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 Pakuŵa mwapele Mwana gwenu ulamusi pa ŵandu wose kuti ŵandu wose umwapele ŵape umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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 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 this is the life eternal, to know thee the only true God, and Jesus, the Messiah, thy Apostle. (aiōnios g166)
4 Uneji jwammale kunkusya pachilambo kwa kumalisya masengo gamwambele kuti nagapanganye.
I have glorified thee upon the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 Atati ŵangu, sambano mumbe ukulu paujo penu, ukulu ulaula unakwete pamo nomwe, chikanaŵe gumbikwa chilambo.
And now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence, with that glory which I enjoyed with thee, before the world was.
6 “Nantesile mmanyiche ni ŵandu umwambele pachilambo ŵala. Ŵanyawo ŵaliji ŵenu ni mwambele uneji kuti aŵe ŵangu, nombewo alijitichisye liloŵe lyenu.
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 Sambano ŵanyawo akuimanyilila kuti yose imwambele uneji ityosile kukwenu.
Whatsoever thou hast given me, they now know to have come from thee;
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.
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 “Ngwapopelela ŵanyawo. Ngangwapopelela ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo, nambo ŵele umwambele wo pakuŵa ali ŵenu.
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 Wose ungwete ali ŵenu, ni ŵenu ali ŵangu, ni ukulu wangu uwoneche kwa litala lya ŵele umwambele wo.
And all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am 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.
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 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 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 Nambo sambano ngwika kukwenu, nguŵecheta gelega pachilambo kuti ŵanyawo agumbale kusengwa kwangu mmitima jao.
But now that I am coming to thee, I speak these things in the world, that their joy in me may be complete.
14 Une napele liloŵe lyenu, ni ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ŵaachimile ŵanyawo pakuŵa ŵanyawo nganaŵa ŵa pachilambo, mpela ila uneji nganima jwa pachilambo.
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 Nganguŵenda kuti mmwe mwatyosye mchilambo, nambo ngupopela mwagose ni Shetani jwaali jwangalumbana.
I do not pray thee to remove them out of the world, but to preserve them from evil.
16 Ŵanyawo nganaŵa ŵa pachilambo pano, uneji nombe nganiŵa jwa pachilambo.
Of the world they are not, as I am not of the world.
17 Mwatende aŵe ŵandu ŵenu ŵaswela kwa litala lya usyene, liloŵe lyenu lili usyene.
Consecrate them by the truth; thy word is the truth.
18 Mpela ila imwatite pakunduma une mchilambo, ni une nombe natumile ŵelewo mchilambo.
As thou hast made me thy Apostle to the world, I have made them my Apostles to the world.
19 Une ngulityosya nansyene kwaligongo lyao, kuti nombewo alityosye kusyene kukwenu.
And I consecrate myself for them, that they may be consecrated through the truth.
20 “Ngangwapopelela ŵanyawo pe, nambo ngwapopelela nombe ŵandu wose ŵachangulupilile kwaligongo lya majiganyo gao.
Nor do I pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on me through their teaching;
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 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 Noneji naapele ukulu ulaula umwambele uneji, kuti aŵeje ŵamo mpela ila uweji ituli ŵamo.
and that thou gavest me the glory, which I have given them; that they may be one, 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 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 “Atati, wose umumbele ngusaka aŵeje pamo ni uneji pepala pandili une kuti aulole ukulu wangu, ukulu umumbele ligongo mwanonyele uneji chilambo chikanigumbikwe.
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 Atati ŵambone, namuno ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ngakummanya nambo uneji nammanyi. Ŵelewo nombe akumanyilila kuti mmwe mwandumile une.
Righteous Father, though the world knows not thee, I know thee; and these know that I have thy commission.
26 Nantesile mmanyiche kukwao, nombe chimbundisye kutenda yeleyo kuti unonyelo undi nawo kukwangu uŵe mwa ŵanyawo, ni uneji meje mwa ŵanyawo.”
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.
