John 17
1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;
Yesu aliyasema mambo haya; kisha akainua macho yake kuelelea mbinguni na akasema, “Baba, saa imewadia; mtukuze mwanao ili na mwana naye akutukuze wewe -
2 as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
kama vile ulivyompatia mamlaka juu ya vyote vyenye mwili ili awape uzima wa milele wale wote uliompatia. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)
Huu ndio uzima wa milele: kwamba wakujue wewe, Mungu wa kweli na wa pekee, na yeye uliyemtuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;
Nilikutukuza hapa duniani, na kuikamilisha kazi uliyonipa niifanye.
5 and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.
Sasa, Baba, unitukuze mimi pamoja na wewe mwenyewe kwa utukufu ule niliokuwa nao pamoja na wewe kabla ya ulimwengu kuumbwa.
6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.
Nililifunua jina lako kwa watu ulionipa hapa duniani. Walikuwa watu wako; lakini ulinikabidhi mimi. nao wamelishika neno lako.
7 Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;
Sasa wanajua kuwa kila kitu ulichonipa mimi kinatoka kwako,
8 for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received [them], and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.
kwa maneno yale uliyonipatia mimi— Nimekwisha wapatia wao maneno hayo. Waliyapokea na kweli wakajua ya kuwa mimi nimetoka kwako, na wakaamini kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma.
9 I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,
Ninawaombea wao. Siuombei ulimwaengu bali wale ulionipa kwa kuwa wao ni wako.
10 (and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine, ) and I am glorified in them.
Vitu vyote ambavyo ni vyangu ni vyako, na vile ulivyonavyo wewe ni vyangu; nami ninatukuzwa katika hivyo.
11 And I am no longer in the world, and these 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 as we.
Mimi simo tena ulimwenguni, bali wao wamo ulimwenguni, nami sasa naja kwako. Baba Mtakatifu, watunze kwa jina lako lile ulilonipa sisi ili wao nao wawe na umoja, kama vile mimi na wewe tulivyo na umoja.
12 When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Nilipokuwa nao, niliwalinda kwa jina ulilonipa; Niliwalinda, na hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyepotea isipokuwa mwana wa upotevu, ili kwamba maandiko yatimie.
13 And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.
Sasa ninakuja kwako; lakini ninasema haya ulimwenguni ili kwamba furaha yangu ikamilishwe ndani yao wenyewe.
14 I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
Nimewapa neno lako; ulimwengu imewachukia kwa sababu wao si wa ulimwengu, kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwengu
15 I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.
Siwaombei kwamba uwatoe ulimwenguni bali uwalinde na yule mwovu.
16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
Wao si wa dunia kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwenguni.
17 Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.
Uwaweke wakfu kwako mwenyewe katika Kweli; neno lako ndiyo kweli.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world;
Ulinituma ulimwenguni, nami nimewatuma ulimwenguni.
19 and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
Kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe ninajitoa kwako ili kwamba na wao wajitoe kwako kwa ile kweli.
20 And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;
Si hawa tu ninaowaombea, bali na wale watakaoamini kupitia neno lao
21 that they may be all one, as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
ili kwamba wao nao wawe na umoja, kama vila wewe Baba, ulivyo ndani yangu nami ndani yako. Nawaombea ili kwamba wao pia waweze kuwa ndani yetu ili ulimwengu uweze kuamini kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma.
22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;
Utukufu ule ulionipa mimi - nimewapa wao, ili kwamba waweze kuwa na umoja, kama vile sisi tulivyo umoja -
23 I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one [and] that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and [that] thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
Mimi ndani yao, nawe ndani yangu, ili waweze kukamilishwa katika umoja; ili ulimwengu ujue kuwa hakika wewe ndiye uliyenituma, na kuwapenda, kama vile wewe ulivyonipenda, mimi.
24 Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before [the] foundation of [the] world.
Baba, kile ulichonipa mimi - Natamani kwamba wao pia waweze kuwa pamoja nami mahali nilipo ili waweze kuona utukufu wangu, ule ulionipa: kwa kuwa wewe ulinipenda mimi kabla ya kuumbwa kwa misingi ya ulimwengu.
25 Righteous Father, — and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
Baba mwenye haki, ulimwengu haukukujua wewe, lakini mimi nakujua wewe; na wanajua kwamba ulinituma.
26 And I have made known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.
Nililifanya jina lako lijulikane kwao, na nitalifanya lijulikane ili kwamba lile pendo ambalo kwalo ulinipenda mimi liweze kuwa ndani yao, na mimi niweze kuwa ndani yao.”
