John 17
1 These things spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes to heauen, and saide, Father, that houre is come: glorifie thy Sonne, that thy Sonne also may glorifie thee,
Yesu alipokwisha sema hayo, alitazama juu mbinguni, akasema, “Baba, saa imefika! Mtukuze Mwanao ili naye Mwana apate kukutukuza.
2 As thou hast giuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shoulde giue eternall life to all them that thou hast giuen him. (aiōnios g166)
Maana ulimpa Mwanao mamlaka juu ya watu wote ili awape uzima wa milele wote hao uliompa. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this is life eternall, that they knowe thee to be the onely very God, and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ. (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 haue glorified thee on the earth: I haue finished the worke which thou gauest me to doe.
Mimi nimekutukuza hapa duniani; nimeikamilisha ile kazi uliyonipa nifanye.
5 And nowe glorifie me, thou Father, with thine owne selfe, with the glorie which I had with thee before the world was.
Sasa, Baba, nitukuze mbele yako kwa ule utukufu niliokuwa nao kabla ya kuumbwa ulimwengu.
6 I haue declared thy Name vnto the men which thou gauest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gauest them me, and they haue kept thy worde.
“Nimekufanya ujulikane kwa watu wale ulionipa kutoka duniani. Walikuwa watu wako, nawe ukanipa wawe wangu; nao wamelishika neno lako.
7 Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me, are of thee.
Sasa wanajua kwamba kila ulichonipa kimetoka kwako.
8 For I haue giuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receiued them, and haue knowen surely that I came out from thee, and haue beleeued that thou hast sent me.
Mimi nimewapa ule ujumbe ulionipa nao wameupokea; wanajua kwamba kweli nimetoka kwako, na wanaamini kwamba wewe ulinituma.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast giuen me: for they are thine.
“Nawaombea hao; siuombei ulimwengu, ila nawaombea hao ulionipa, maana ni wako.
10 And al mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.
Yote niliyo nayo ni yako, na yako ni yangu; na utukufu wangu umeonekana ndani yao.
11 And nowe am I no more in the world, but these are in the worlde, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keepe them in thy Name, euen them whome thou hast giuen mee, that they may bee one, as we are.
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 While I was with them in the worlde, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but the childe 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 come I to thee, and these things speake I in the worlde, that they might haue my ioy fulfilled in themselues.
Basi, sasa naja kwako, na nimesema mambo haya ulimwenguni, ili waweze kushiriki kikamilifu furaha yangu.
14 I haue giuen them thy word, and the world hath 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 pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou keepe them from euill.
Siombi uwatoe ulimwenguni, bali naomba uwakinge na yule Mwovu.
16 They are not of the worlde, as I am not of the world.
Wao si wa ulimwengu, kama vile nami nisivyo wa ulimwengu.
17 Sanctifie them with thy trueth: thy word is trueth.
Waweke wakfu kwa ukweli; neno lako ni ukweli.
18 As thou diddest send me into the world, so haue I sent them into the world.
Kama vile ulivyonituma ulimwenguni, nami pia nimewatuma wao ulimwenguni;
19 And for their sakes sanctifie I my selfe, that they also may bee sanctified through the trueth.
na kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe najiweka wakfu ili nao pia wafanywe wakfu katika ukweli.
20 I praie not for these alone, but for them also which shall beleeue in mee, through their woorde,
“Siwaombei hao tu, bali nawaombea pia wote watakaoamini kutokana na ujumbe wao.
21 That they all may bee one, as thou, O Father, art in me, and I in thee: euen that they may be also one in vs, that the worlde may beleeue 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 that thou gauest me, I haue giuen 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 mee, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the worlde may knowe that thou hast sent mee, and hast loued them, as thou hast loued 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, I will that they which thou hast giuen me, be with me euen where I am, that they may beholde that my glorie, which thou hast giuen mee: for thou louedst 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 O righteous Father, the worlde also hath not knowen thee, but I haue knowen thee, and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me.
Baba Mwema! Ulimwengu haukujui, lakini mimi nakujua. Hawa nao wanajua kwamba wewe ulinituma.
26 And I haue declared vnto the thy Name, and will declare it, that the loue wherewith thou hast loued 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.”
