Joni 17
1 Jesu nakamana kwamba zintu eezi, wakatambya meso akwe kumajulu akwamba kuti, “Taata, chiindi chasika, mupe bulemu Mwanaako kuchitila kuti alakwe Mwana akupe bulemu -
Yeshua said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
2 mbuli mbwakamupa bwendelezi atala ailengwa zyoonse kuchitila kuti azope buumi butamani kuli woonse ooyo ngwakapa kuli nguwe. (aiōnios g166)
even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. (aiōnios g166)
3 Mbuli ibuumi butamani kuti bakuzibe, nduwe Leza wakasimpe, akuli nguwe ooyo ngwakatuma, Jesu Kkilisito. (aiōnios g166)
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
4 Ndakakupa bulemu anyika. Ndakamaninsya mulimo oyo nguwakandipa kuti nguuchite.
I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
5 Lino, Taata, kondilemya antomwe ayebo abulemu obo mbendali kujusi nkechili ayebo, inyika kitanaanzwa.
Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
6 Ndakayubununa izina lyako kubantu aabo mbwakandipa kuzwa kunyika. Bakali bako, wakabapeda kuli ndime bakabamba ijwi lyako.
“I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
7 Lino bakaziba kuti zyoonse eezyo nzwakandipa zizwa kuli nduwe,
Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
8 Nkambo ndakabapa woonse majwi ayo ngwakandipa. Bakaatambula mpawo akuziba bwini bwakuti ndakazwa kuli nduwe mpawo bakasyoma kuti wakandituma.
for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
9 Ndabakombela. Nsikombeli banyika pe pesi aabo mbwakandipa nkambo mbibako.
I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
10 Choonse eecho changu nchichaako mpawo chako nchichangu mpawo mpegwa bulemu mulimbabo.
All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 Nsichili munyika, pesi aaba bantu balimunyika, mpawo ndikuza kuli nduwe. Taata Uusalala, babambe muzina lyako elyo nduwe wakandipa kuchitila kuti babe bamwi mbuli mbutuli bamwi.
I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
12 Nindakachili ambabo, ndakabambide kabotu muzina lyako, eelyo ndwakandipa. Ndakaba kwabilila, mpawo takwe nikuba umwi wakanyonyoka, kusiya mwana wabajayi, kuchitila malembe kuti azuzikizigwe.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 Lino ndaboola kulinduwe, pesi ndikwamba zintu eezi munyika kuchitila kuti lukondo lwangu luzozuzikizigwe muli mbabo.
But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
14 Ndakabapa ijwi lyako, mpwao nyika yakabasula nkambo tabali benyika eeyi, mbuuli mbuntali wenyika.
I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 Nsilokukumbila kuli nduwe kuti ubagwisye munyika, pesi kuti babambwe kabotu kulibaabo batalomene.
I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
16 Tembanyika pe mbuli mbentali wenyika ambebo.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Mubaanzanisye kwinda kukasimpe. Ijwi lyako ndayakasimpe.
Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
18 Mbuli mbowakandituma munyika ndabatuma ambebo munyika.
As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
19 Akambo kambabo, ndalibamba lwangu kuchitila kuti abalabo babambwe mukasimpe.
For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20 Nsikombeli aaba luzutu pe, pesi abaabo batakasyome mulindime kwinda kujwi lyaako
“Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
21 Kuchitila kuti boonse bakabe umwi mbuli nduwe. Taata mbuli muli ndime, andime ndimuli nduwe. Aabalabo abaabe muli ndiswe kuchitila kuti inyika ikasyome kuti nduwe nuwakandituma.
that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 Ibulemu oobo mbuwakandipa, ndakabupa kuli mbabo, kuchitila kuti babe uumwi, mbuli mbundi umwi.
The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
23 Ime muli mbabo, mpawo iwe muli ndime - kuti mpobazulila mulukamantano, kuti inyika izibe kuti wakandituma akuti wakabayanda mbuli mbuwakayanda ndime.
I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.
24 Taata, njanda aabo mbwakandipa kuti baabe andime ooko nkuumbede, mpawo akubona bulemu mbwakandipa nkambo wakandiyanda intalisyo yenyika kitana kubambwa.
Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 Taata ululeme, inyika teyaka kwizi pe, pesi mebo ndakali kwizi, mpawo aaba balizi kuti wakandituma.
Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
26 Ndakachita kuti izina lyako lizibinkane kuli mbabo, nkabela ndichiyolizibya kuchitila kuti luyando ndwakandiyanda aalo lukabe muli mbabo, mpawo nooli muli mbabo.”
I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
