John 17

1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.

Jesu hamana ku wamba izi zintu, ncha katwila menso akwe kwi wulu mi na ti, “Itayo, inako chi yasika, ulumbeke Mwanako njo kuti Mwana naye aku lumbeke-

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)

sina kamo ba muheli buyendisi he wulu lya zi bumbantu zonse njo kuti awole kuha buhalo busamani kwa zumwi ni zumwi yo ba muhi. (aiōnios g166)

3 Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

Ubu buhalo busamani: kuti ba kwizi, Ireeza yenke we niti, mi iye yo ba tumi, Jesu Kerisite. (aiōnios g166)

4 I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

Ni baku tembi hansi. Ni ba mani mutendo oba nihi kuti ni tende.

5 And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.

Linu, Tayo, ni tembe hamwina nawe cha ku tembwa ku ni bena nawe pili inkanda ni seni ku bumbwa.

6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them; and they have kept thy word.

Ni ba sinululi izina lya ko ku bantu bo banihi kuzwilila mwi nkanda. I bali bako, mi ni waba ni ha, mi baba kuteki inzwi lya ko.

7 Now they have known, that all things which thou hast given me, are from thee:

Hanu chi bezi kuti zintu zonse zo banihi zi zwa kwako,

8 Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

mukuti ni babahi ma nzwi anse oba nihi. Ba ba atambuli mi cho buniti ba be zibi kuti nibazwi kwako, mi baba zumini kuti ubani tumi.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine:

Ni ba lapelela. Kani lapeleli inkanda kono ni lapelela abo boba nihi, mukuti nji bako.

10 And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

Chonse chili cha ngu nji chako, mi chako nji changu, mi ni tembetwe mu bali.

11 And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.

Kani si mwina mwi inkanda, kono aba bantu bena mwi inkanda, mi ni keza kwako. I tayo yo Jolola, ba bike mwi zina lyako abo boba nihi njikuti babe ba mwina, sina hatuli umwina.

12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.

Hani ba sina nabo, ni baba bikite mwi zina lyako, lyo banihi. Ni baba silelezi, mi nanta yenke wabo ya ba sinyehi, kwanda ya mwana we nsinyeho, njo kuti mañolo e zuzilizwe.

13 And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves.

Hanu ni keza kwako, kono ni wamba izi zintu mwi inkanda nji kuti babe ni ku saanga kwangu kwi zuzilizwe mu bali.

14 I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world; as I also am not of the world.

Ni ba bahi inzwi lya ko, mi inkanda ibaba toyi kakuti kahena be nkanda, sina hani sali we nkanda.

15 I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil.

Kani kukumbili kuti uba zwise mwi inkanda kono uba wungule ku mubilala.

16 They are not of the world, as I also am not of the world.

Kahena be inkanda, sina hani sali we inkanda.

17 Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.

Ba kungule kumbali cho buniti. Inzwi lyako buniti.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

Sina mo bani tumini mwi inkanda, linu nibaba tumi mwi inkanda.

19 And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

Che baka lyabo ni bali kunguli kumbali, mukuti abo beene nabo ba kungwilwe kumbali mubu niti.

20 And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me;

Kani lapeli bulyo chaba, kono nabo bonse bani zumine kache nzwi lyabo.

21 That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Njo kuti bonse babe bamwina, sina iwe, Tayo, mwina mwa ngu, mi nina mwenu. Ni lapela kuti nabo babe mwetu njo kuti inkanda mwi zumine kuti ubani tumi.

22 And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one:

Kutembwa kuna kobanihi, ni ba kubahi, njo kuti babe ba mwina, sina hatuli bamwina.

23 I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.

I me mu baali, mi iwe mwangu. Njo kuti be zuzilizwe mu mwina, njo kuti inkanda izibe kuti uba ni tumi, mi uba ba suni, sina mo ba ni sunini.

24 Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.

Tayo, Ni saka kuti abo bo banihi nabo babe name kwete nibe njo kuti ba bone ku tembwa kwangu, ko banihi. Mukuti ubani suni kuzwililila ku matangilo a ku bumbwa kwe inkanda.

25 Just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee: and these have known that thou hast sent me.

Itayo yo lukiti, inkanda kena iba kwizi, kono ni kwizi: mi aba bezi kuti ubani tumi.

26 And I have made known thy name to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.

Ni be zibisi izina lya ko kubali, mi ni sili izibisa njo kuti ke lato lyo bani saki kalyo libe mubali, mi munibe mubali.”
