< 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 thus spoken, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee;
2 Pakuŵa mwapele Mwana gwenu ulamusi pa ŵandu wose kuti ŵandu wose umwapele ŵape umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios )
according as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that he should give everlasting life to all whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios )
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 )
And this is the everlasting life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send. (aiōnios )
4 Uneji jwammale kunkusya pachilambo kwa kumalisya masengo gamwambele kuti nagapanganye.
I have glorified thee on the earth, having 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! do thou glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had 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 manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Sambano ŵanyawo akuimanyilila kuti yose imwambele uneji ityosile kukwenu.
Now they know that all things whatever thou hast given me are 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.
for I have given to them the words which thou hast given me; and they received them, and knew surely that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.
9 “Ngwapopelela ŵanyawo. Ngangwapopelela ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo, nambo ŵele umwambele wo pakuŵa ali ŵenu.
I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine;
10 Wose ungwete ali ŵenu, ni ŵenu ali ŵangu, ni ukulu wangu uwoneche kwa litala lya ŵele umwambele wo.
and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are 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.
And I am no longer in the world; and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father! keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even 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, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, and guarded them; and no one of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture may be fulfilled.
13 Nambo sambano ngwika kukwenu, nguŵecheta gelega pachilambo kuti ŵanyawo agumbale kusengwa kwangu mmitima jao.
But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, 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 thy word; and the world hath hated 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 take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.
16 Ŵanyawo nganaŵa ŵa pachilambo pano, uneji nombe nganiŵa jwa pachilambo.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Mwatende aŵe ŵandu ŵenu ŵaswela kwa litala lya usyene, liloŵe lyenu lili usyene.
Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is truth.
18 Mpela ila imwatite pakunduma une mchilambo, ni une nombe natumile ŵelewo mchilambo.
As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world.
19 Une ngulityosya nansyene kwaligongo lyao, kuti nombewo alityosye kusyene kukwenu.
And in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.
20 “Ngangwapopelela ŵanyawo pe, nambo ngwapopelela nombe ŵandu wose ŵachangulupilile kwaligongo lya majiganyo gao.
Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe in 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; as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that thou didst send me.
22 Noneji naapele ukulu ulaula umwambele uneji, kuti aŵeje ŵamo mpela ila uweji ituli ŵamo.
And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even 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 they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast 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! as to that which thou hast given me, I desire that they also be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 Atati ŵambone, namuno ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ngakummanya nambo uneji nammanyi. Ŵelewo nombe akumanyilila kuti mmwe mwandumile une.
Righteous Father! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me.
26 Nantesile mmanyiche kukwao, nombe chimbundisye kutenda yeleyo kuti unonyelo undi nawo kukwangu uŵe mwa ŵanyawo, ni uneji meje mwa ŵanyawo.”
And I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
