John 17
1 THESE things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee:
Yesu kaa saa nsɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Agya, ɛberɛ no aduru. Hyɛ wo Ba no animuonyam, na Ɔba no nso nhyɛ wo animuonyam.
2 even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
Womaa no nnipa nyinaa so tumi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛma wɔn a wode wɔn maa no no nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
Na ɛkwan a wɔnam so bɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ ne sɛ, wɔbɛhunu Onyankopɔn korɔ nokwafoɔ no, ne Yesu Kristo a wosomaa no baa asase so no! (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform.
Medaa wʼanimuonyam adi kyerɛeɛ wɔ asase so na mewiee adwuma a wode hyɛɛ me nsa no yɛ.
5 And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was.
Na afei, Agya, fa animuonyam a mewɔ wɔ wʼanim ansa na worebɔ ewiase no hyɛ me wɔ wʼanim ha.
6 I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept.
“Mama nnipa a na anka wɔte ewiase a wode wɔn hyɛɛ me nsa no ahunu wo. Na wɔyɛ wo dea na wode wɔn maa me. Wɔatie wʼasɛm.
7 Now have they known, that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee.
Afei, wɔahunu sɛ biribiara a wode maa me no firi wo nkyɛn.
8 For the declarations which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me.
Mekaa asɛm a woka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menka nkyerɛ wɔn no kyerɛɛ wɔn na wɔtieeɛ. Wɔnim sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ mefiri wo nkyɛn na mebaeɛ. Na wɔgye di sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
9 I entreat for them: I make no request for the world; but for those thou hast given me; for they are thine.
Mebɔ mpaeɛ ma wɔn. Memmɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn a wɔnnye wʼasɛm nni, na mmom, nnipa a wode wɔn maa me no na mebɔ mpaeɛ ma wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyɛ wo dea.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them.
Biribiara a mewɔ no yɛ wo dea na biribiara a wowɔ no nso yɛ me dea. Ɛnam yeinom so ama manya animuonyam.
11 And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name’s sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Na afei, merefiri ewiase, na magya wɔn wɔ akyire aba wo nkyɛn. Agya kronkron, wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no, fa wo din a tumi wɔ mu no bɔ wɔn ho ban na wɔayɛ baako sɛdeɛ wo ne me yɛ baako no.
12 When I was with them in the world, I preserved them by thy name: those whom thou hast given me have I guarded, and not one of them is perished, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Ɛberɛ a me ne wɔn wɔ hɔ no, mede tumi a wode maa me no hwɛɛ wɔn so. Mebɔɔ wɔn ho ban, na wɔn mu biara annyera, gye onipa a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyera no nko ara, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Atwerɛsɛm no bɛba mu.
13 But now I am coming to thee; and I am speaking these things in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
“Afei mereba wo nkyɛn. Maka saa nsɛm yi nyinaa ɛberɛ a meda so wɔ ewiase yi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mʼanigyeɛ bɛhyɛ wɔn ma.
14 I have given them thy word and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Mekaa wʼasɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn na ewiasefoɔ tanee wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔmfiri ewiase sɛdeɛ me nso memfiri ewiase no.
15 I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one.
Memmisa wo sɛ yi wɔn firi ewiase, na mmom, mesrɛ sɛ, bɔ wɔn ho ban firi ɔbonsam nsam.
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Sɛdeɛ memfiri ewiase no, saa ara nso na wɔmfiri ewiase.
17 Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth.
Fa wo nsɛm a ɛyɛ nokorɛ no kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn na ɛnte wɔn ho, na ɛnyɛ wɔn kronkron.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world.
Sɛdeɛ wosomaa me baa ewiase no, saa ara na me nso meresoma wɔn akɔ ewiase.
19 And for them I devote myself, that they also might be sanctified by the truth.
Wɔn enti, mede me ho ma wo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nso de wɔn ho nyinaa bɛma wo.
20 And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;
“Memmɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn nko. Mebɔ mpaeɛ ma wɔn a wɔnam asuafoɔ asɛm a wɔbɛka no so agye adi no nso.
21 that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Mebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ baako. Agya, sɛdeɛ wowɔ me mu na me nso mewɔ wo mu no, saa ara nso na ma wɔntena yɛn mu. Ma wɔn nyinaa nyɛ baako sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ewiase bɛgye adi sɛ, wo na wosomaa me.
22 And I have given them the glory, which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Mede animuonyam a wode hyɛɛ me a ɛmaa me ne wo yɛɛ baako no ahyɛ wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nso, wɔbɛyɛ baako sɛdeɛ yɛn nso yɛyɛ baako no.
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 hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Mewɔ wɔn mu na wo nso wowɔ me mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ baako na ewiase ahunu sɛ, wo na wosomaa me na wodɔ wɔn sɛdeɛ wodɔ me no
24 Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.
“Agya, mepɛ sɛ wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no bɛka me ho wɔ faako a mewɔ no, na wɔahunu mʼanimuonyam, animuonyam a wode maa me no, ɛfiri sɛ, wodɔ me ansa na wobɔɔ ewiase.
25 Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
“Agya kronkron, ewiase nnim wo, nanso me deɛ, menim wo; na asuafoɔ yi nim sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
26 And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Mama wɔahunu sɛdeɛ wo te na mɛkɔ so ayɛ saa daa, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔdɔ a wodɔ me no bɛtena wɔn nso mu na me nso, matena wɔn nso mu bi.”
