< John 17 >

1 When Jesus finished saying this he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you.
Ni kogon wa Yesu tre yi, a nzu shishi hi ni shulu na tre, “Iti, inton yeye, no Vren Me ninkonni ndu Vren Me ndu no'u ninkon -
2 For you gave him authority over all people so that he might give eternal life to all those you have given to him. (aiōnios g166)
ni wa u no gbengblen nitu bi nama kpa wawu ni ndu no re (ivri) u son hi ni tuntur ko indji ri me wa wu no'a. (aiōnios g166)
3 Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent. (aiōnios g166)
Iwa ahi re (ivri) u tuntur, wa ba to, ba to wuyi nkrji Me Wu Irji, niwa u ton Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
Mi no ninkon me ni meme, Mi kle indu wa u ne ndi Mi tiwu'a.
5 Now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the beginning of the world.
Zizan, “Bachi ne ninkon wa me he niwu rji niwu ri ni ndu ba me gbungblu'a.
6 I have revealed your character to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you; you gave them to me; and they have done what you said.
Mi ye yar inde rju ni ndi biwa u ne ba ni gbungblu'a. Bana bi Me u wu ne ba, u ba nji tre me.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
Zizan, ba to ndi ikpe wa u ne wawu ba rji ni wu yi,
8 I have given them the message that you gave me. They accepted it, completely convinced that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
Mi no ba wawu lan tre Me wa wu ne. Ba kpa ba na to nda a njanji Mi rji ni Wu, na kpa nyeme ndi a wu u ton me.
9 I'm praying for them—not for the world, but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.
Mi tre niwu bawu (addu'a), Mi tre niwu ni bi gbungblu'a na, se ni bi wa u ne ni ba, biki babi Me.
10 All who belong to me are yours, and those who belong to you are mine, and I have been glorified through them.
Ikpe wawu wa ahi u Mu'a, a hi u Me. U Me ahi u Mu. Mi kpa ninkon ni ba.
11 I am leaving the world, but they will remain in the world; I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name, the name that you gave to me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.
Mi na la u gbungblu'a ngana, u ba ndji biyi ba he ni gbungblu'a, u Mi si yi niwu. Tsatsra Ti, zi ba ni mi nde Me wa u ne ni ndu ba riri, nawa kita me ki riri.
12 While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you gave to me. I watched over them so that no one was lost except the ‘son of the lost,’ so Scripture was fulfilled.
Niwa mina he ni ba, Mi ziba pyan me ni mi nde Me, ni wa u ne, Mi ka ba, u riri ni mi mbu ana yra tu na, se mri bi zyi bubu'a, ni ndu lantre'a shu.
13 Now I'm coming to you, and I say these things while I am still here in the world so they may share completely in my joy.
Zizan Mi si ye niwu, Mi si tre kpi biyi ni gbungblu'a ni ndu ingyiri Mu ndu shu ni ba.
14 I gave them your message, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.
Mi no ba lan tre Me'a, u gbungblu'a kama ni ba nitu wa ba u lantre na, na wa Mi na u gbungblu'a na.
15 I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but for you to protect them from the evil one.
Mi tre ni ndu vu ba rju ni gbungblu'a na ni ndu zi ba zizyime ni mi bi meme ba.
16 They are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.
Ba na bi gbungblu'a na, na wa mina u gbungblu'a na.
17 Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.
Zi ba nkan nitu Me u njanji lantre Me a njanji.
18 Just as you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
Na niwa u ton Me ni gbungblu'a, naki Mi ton ba hi ni gbungblu'a.
19 I dedicate myself for them so that they may also be truly holy.
Mi mla tu Mu zi niwu nitu mba, ni ndu ba mla tu-mba zi me niwu ni mi njanji.
20 I'm not only praying for them, I'm also praying for those who trust in me because of their message.
Mina tre niwu nitu iwa kankrji ma na, ani biwa ba kpa nyeme ni Me nitu tre mba'a
21 I pray that they all may be one, just as you, Father, live in me, and I live in you, so that they too may live in us so that the world will believe you did send me.
ni ndu ba wawu mba hi ririi, nawu, Bachi, Wu he nimi Mu, u Ime nimi Me. Mi bre ni ndu ba he nimi Mbu, ni ndu gbungblu'a kpa nyeme ndi u ton Me.
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.
Ninkon wa U ne'a, Ime me Mi ka no ba, ni ndu ba hi ririi, nawa kita me ki riri'a:
23 I live in them, and you live in me. May they be completely one, so the whole world will know that you did send me, and that you love them, just as you love me.
Ime nimi mba, u Wu nimi Mu - ndi dun ba nji tu-mba ye katu bi, ni ndi dun gbungblu'a ni to ndi u ton Me, andi U son ba na wa U son Me.
24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so they can see the glory which you gave to me—for you loved me before the world was created.
Iti, Mi son biwa U kaba ne ndu ba he ni Me ni wurji wa Mi he yi, na to ninkon Mu, ninkon wa U Ne u nitu U son Me ri kuko ndi zi nchi gbungblu'a.
25 Good Father, the world does not know you, but I know you, and these here with me know that you sent me.
Tsatsra Ti, gbungblu'a na to Wu na, Ime Mi to'u, u ba ton nda ahi Wu yi U ton Me.
26 I have revealed your character to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me will be in them, and I will live in them.”
Mi hla bawu inde Me, Mi la hla ni bawu nitu son Me wa U ndu he ni Me ni mi mba.
