John 17
1 When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.
Jesu nakamana kwamba zintu eezi, wakatambya meso akwe kumajulu akwamba kuti, “Taata, chiindi chasika, mupe bulemu Mwanaako kuchitila kuti alakwe Mwana akupe bulemu -
2 For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)
mbuli mbwakamupa bwendelezi atala ailengwa zyoonse kuchitila kuti azope buumi butamani kuli woonse ooyo ngwakapa kuli nguwe. (aiōnios g166)
3 Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (aiōnios g166)
Mbuli ibuumi butamani kuti bakuzibe, nduwe Leza wakasimpe, akuli nguwe ooyo ngwakatuma, Jesu Kkilisito. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.
Ndakakupa bulemu anyika. Ndakamaninsya mulimo oyo nguwakandipa kuti nguuchite.
5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
Lino, Taata, kondilemya antomwe ayebo abulemu obo mbendali kujusi nkechili ayebo, inyika kitanaanzwa.
6 I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
Ndakayubununa izina lyako kubantu aabo mbwakandipa kuzwa kunyika. Bakali bako, wakabapeda kuli ndime bakabamba ijwi lyako.
7 Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.
Lino bakaziba kuti zyoonse eezyo nzwakandipa zizwa kuli nduwe,
8 For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
Nkambo ndakabapa woonse majwi ayo ngwakandipa. Bakaatambula mpawo akuziba bwini bwakuti ndakazwa kuli nduwe mpawo bakasyoma kuti wakandituma.
9 I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.
Ndabakombela. Nsikombeli banyika pe pesi aabo mbwakandipa nkambo mbibako.
10 All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.
Choonse eecho changu nchichaako mpawo chako nchichangu mpawo mpegwa bulemu mulimbabo.
11 I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.
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.
12 While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
Nindakachili ambabo, ndakabambide kabotu muzina lyako, eelyo ndwakandipa. Ndakaba kwabilila, mpawo takwe nikuba umwi wakanyonyoka, kusiya mwana wabajayi, kuchitila malembe kuti azuzikizigwe.
13 But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.
Lino ndaboola kulinduwe, pesi ndikwamba zintu eezi munyika kuchitila kuti lukondo lwangu luzozuzikizigwe muli mbabo.
14 I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Ndakabapa ijwi lyako, mpwao nyika yakabasula nkambo tabali benyika eeyi, mbuuli mbuntali wenyika.
15 I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
Nsilokukumbila kuli nduwe kuti ubagwisye munyika, pesi kuti babambwe kabotu kulibaabo batalomene.
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Tembanyika pe mbuli mbentali wenyika ambebo.
17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
Mubaanzanisye kwinda kukasimpe. Ijwi lyako ndayakasimpe.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
Mbuli mbowakandituma munyika ndabatuma ambebo munyika.
19 For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.
Akambo kambabo, ndalibamba lwangu kuchitila kuti abalabo babambwe mukasimpe.
20 I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,
Nsikombeli aaba luzutu pe, pesi abaabo batakasyome mulindime kwinda kujwi lyaako
21 that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
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.
22 I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—
Ibulemu oobo mbuwakandipa, ndakabupa kuli mbabo, kuchitila kuti babe uumwi, mbuli mbundi umwi.
23 I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.
Ime muli mbabo, mpawo iwe muli ndime - kuti mpobazulila mulukamantano, kuti inyika izibe kuti wakandituma akuti wakabayanda mbuli mbuwakayanda ndime.
24 Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
Taata, njanda aabo mbwakandipa kuti baabe andime ooko nkuumbede, mpawo akubona bulemu mbwakandipa nkambo wakandiyanda intalisyo yenyika kitana kubambwa.
25 Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
Taata ululeme, inyika teyaka kwizi pe, pesi mebo ndakali kwizi, mpawo aaba balizi kuti wakandituma.
26 And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
Ndakachita kuti izina lyako lizibinkane kuli mbabo, nkabela ndichiyolizibya kuchitila kuti luyando ndwakandiyanda aalo lukabe muli mbabo, mpawo nooli muli mbabo.”
