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.
Jesũ aarĩkia kuuga maũndũ macio, agĩtiira maitho akĩrora na igũrũ, akĩhooya, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Baba hĩndĩ nĩ nginyu. Goocithia Mũrũguo, nĩguo nake Mũrũguo akũgoocithie.
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)
Nĩgũkorwo nĩũmũheete ũhoti wa gwatha andũ othe, nĩguo arĩa othe ũmũheete amahe muoyo wa tene na tene. (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)
Na rĩu ũyũ nĩguo muoyo wa tene na tene: Atĩ makũmenye, o Wee Ngai ũrĩa wa ma, na mamenye Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa ũtũmĩte. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.
Nĩngũgoocithĩtie gũkũ thĩ na ũndũ wa kũrĩĩkia wĩra ũrĩa waheire ndute.
5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
Na rĩu Baba, ngoocithia ndĩ mbere yaku na riiri ũrĩa ndaarĩ naguo hamwe nawe o mbere thĩ ĩtaanagĩa.
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.
“Nĩnguũrĩirie andũ arĩa waheire gũkũ thĩ rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Acio maarĩ aku; nawe ũkĩĩhe o, nao nĩmathĩkĩire kiugo gĩaku.
7 Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.
Na rĩu nĩmamenyete atĩ indo iria ciothe ũheete ciumĩte kũrĩ wee.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩndamaheire ciugo iria waheire, nao magĩciĩtĩkĩra. Nĩmamenyire hatarĩ nganja atĩ ndoimire kũrĩ wee, na magĩĩtĩkia atĩ wee nĩwe wandũmire.
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.
Acio nĩo ndĩrahoera. Ndirahoera andũ a gũkũ thĩ, no ndĩrahoera arĩa ũũheete, nĩgũkorwo nĩ aku.
10 All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.
Kĩrĩa gĩothe ndĩ nakĩo nĩ gĩaku, na kĩrĩa gĩothe ũrĩ nakĩo nĩ gĩakwa. Naguo ũgooci nĩũũkĩte kũrĩ niĩ nĩ ũndũ wao.
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.
Ndigũikara gũkũ thĩ rĩngĩ, no-o marĩ o gũkũ thĩ, na niĩ ndĩroka kũrĩ wee. Baba Mũtheru, magitĩre na ũhoti wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku, rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa waheire, nĩgeetha matuĩke ũmwe o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũrĩ ũmwe.
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.
Rĩrĩa ndĩraarĩ nao, nĩndĩramagitagĩra na ngamamenyerera na rĩĩtwa rĩu waheire. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũũrĩte o tiga ũrĩa wathĩrĩirwo kwanangwo nĩguo Maandĩko mahingio.
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.
“Rĩu ndĩroka kũrĩ wee, no maũndũ maya ndĩroiga ndĩ o gũkũ thĩ, nĩguo maiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno gĩakwa kĩrĩ gĩkinyanĩru kũna thĩinĩ wao.
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.
Nĩndĩmaheete kiugo gĩaku, nao andũ a gũkũ thĩ makamathũũra, nĩgũkorwo o ti a gũkũ thĩ rĩngĩ, o ta ũrĩa niĩ itarĩ wa gũkũ thĩ.
15 I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
Ihooya rĩakwa ti ũmarute gũkũ thĩ, no nĩ atĩ ũmagitagĩre kuuma kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũru.
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
O ti a gũkũ thĩ, o ta ũrĩa o na niĩ itarĩ wakuo.
17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
Maamũre, ũmatherie na ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma; ũhoro waku nĩguo ũhoro wa ma.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
O ta ũrĩa wandũmire gũkũ thĩ, na niĩ noguo ndamatũma kũrĩ andũ a gũkũ thĩ.
19 For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.
Ndĩĩtheretie nĩ ũndũ wao, nĩguo o nao matherio kũna nĩ ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma.
20 I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,
“Ningĩ to aya oiki ndĩrahoera. Ndĩrahoera o na arĩa angĩ makaanjĩtĩkia nĩ ũndũ wa ndũmĩrĩri ya aya,
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.
nĩguo othe matuĩke ũmwe Baba, o ta ũrĩa we ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ waku. O nao marogĩa thĩinĩ witũ nĩgeetha andũ a gũkũ thĩ metĩkie atĩ nĩwe ũndũmĩte.
22 I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—
Nĩndĩmaheete riiri ũrĩa waheire, nĩguo matuĩke ũmwe o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũrĩ ũmwe,
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.
niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wao, nawe ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa. Marotuĩka ũmwe kũna, nĩgeetha andũ a gũkũ thĩ mamenye atĩ nĩwe wandũmire, na atĩ nĩũmendete o ta ũrĩa ũnyendete.
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.
“Baba, ngwenda arĩa ũũheete makorwo na niĩ harĩa ndĩ na mone riiri wakwa, riiri ũrĩa ũũheete nĩ ũndũ nĩwanyendete thĩ ĩtanombwo.
25 Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
“Baba Mũthingu, o na gũtuĩka andũ a gũkũ thĩ matikũũĩ-rĩ, niĩ nĩngũũĩ, nao nĩ moĩ atĩ nĩwe ũndũmĩte.
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.”
Nĩngũmenyithanĩtie kũrĩ o, na nĩngũkĩrĩrĩria gũkũmenyithania, nĩgeetha wendani ũrĩa ũnyendete naguo ũikarage thĩinĩ wao na nĩguo o na niĩ mwene ngoragwo thĩinĩ wao.”
