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 alipokwisha sema hayo, alitazama juu mbinguni, akasema, “Baba, saa imefika! Mtukuze Mwanao ili naye Mwana apate kukutukuza.
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)
Maana ulimpa Mwanao mamlaka juu ya watu wote ili awape uzima wa milele wote hao uliompa. (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)
Na uzima wa milele ndio huu: kukujua wewe uliye peke yako Mungu wa kweli, na kumjua Yesu Kristo uliyemtuma. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;
Mimi nimekutukuza hapa duniani; nimeikamilisha ile kazi uliyonipa nifanye.
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, nitukuze mbele yako kwa ule utukufu niliokuwa nao kabla ya kuumbwa ulimwengu.
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.
“Nimekufanya ujulikane kwa watu wale ulionipa kutoka duniani. Walikuwa watu wako, nawe ukanipa wawe wangu; nao wamelishika neno lako.
7 Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;
Sasa wanajua kwamba kila ulichonipa kimetoka 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.
Mimi nimewapa ule ujumbe ulionipa nao wameupokea; wanajua kwamba kweli nimetoka kwako, na wanaamini kwamba wewe ulinituma.
9 I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,
“Nawaombea hao; siuombei ulimwengu, ila nawaombea hao ulionipa, maana ni wako.
10 (and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine, ) and I am glorified in them.
Yote niliyo nayo ni yako, na yako ni yangu; na utukufu wangu umeonekana ndani yao.
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.
Na sasa naja kwako; simo tena ulimwenguni, lakini wao wamo ulimwenguni. Baba Mtakatifu! Kwa nguvu ya jina lako ulilonipa, tafadhali uwaweke salama ili wawe kitu kimoja kama sisi tulivyo mmoja.
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, mimi niliwaweka salama kwa nguvu ya jina lako ulilonipa. Mimi nimewalinda, wala hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyepotea, isipokuwa yule aliyelazimika kupotea ili Maandiko Matakatifu yapate kutimia.
13 And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.
Basi, sasa naja kwako, na nimesema mambo haya ulimwenguni, ili waweze kushiriki kikamilifu furaha yangu.
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.
Mimi nimewapa neno lako, nao ulimwengu ukawachukia, kwa sababu wao si wa ulimwengu kama vile nami nisivyo 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.
Siombi uwatoe ulimwenguni, bali naomba uwakinge na yule Mwovu.
16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
Wao si wa ulimwengu, kama vile nami nisivyo wa ulimwengu.
17 Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.
Waweke wakfu kwa ukweli; neno lako ni ukweli.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world;
Kama vile ulivyonituma ulimwenguni, nami pia nimewatuma wao ulimwenguni;
19 and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
na kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe najiweka wakfu ili nao pia wafanywe wakfu katika ukweli.
20 And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;
“Siwaombei hao tu, bali nawaombea pia wote watakaoamini kutokana na ujumbe wao.
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.
Naomba ili wote wawe kitu kimoja. Baba! Naomba wawe ndani yetu kama vile wewe ulivyo ndani yangu nami ndani yako. Naomba wawe kitu kimoja kusudi ulimwengu upate kuamini kwamba wewe ulinituma.
22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;
Mimi nimewapa utukufu uleule ulionipa mimi, ili wawe kitu kimoja kama nasi tulivyo mmoja;
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 niwe ndani yao, nawe uwe ndani yangu; naomba wakamilishwe na kuwa kitu kimoja, ili ulimwengu upate kujua kwamba wewe ulinituma, na kwamba unawapenda wao kama unavyonipenda 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! Nataka wao ulionipa wawe pamoja nami pale nilipo, ili wauone utukufu wangu ulionipa; kwa kuwa ulinipenda kabla ya kuumbwa 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 Mwema! Ulimwengu haukujui, lakini mimi nakujua. Hawa nao wanajua kwamba wewe 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.
Nimekufanya ujulikane kwao na nitaendelea kufanya hivyo, ili upendo ulio nao kwangu uwe ndani yao, nami niwe ndani yao.”
