John 17
1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you:
Esi Yesu gblɔ nya siawo vɔ la, ewu mo dzi, do gbe ɖa gblɔ be, “Fofo, ɣeyiɣi la de azɔ. Ɖe Viwò la ƒe Ŋutikɔkɔefia ne Viwò hã naɖe wò ŋutikɔkɔe afia.
2 As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him. (aiōnios g166)
Elabena èna ŋusẽe ɖe amegbetɔwo katã dzi le xexea me, be wòana agbe mavɔ ame sia ame si nètsɔ nɛ la. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
Ale si ame awɔ akpɔ agbe mavɔ lae nye be wòanya wò Mawu vavã ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ la, eye wòaxɔ Yesu Kristo, ame si nèɖo ɖe xexea me hã dzi ase. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.
Meɖe wò Ŋutikɔkɔe fia le anyigba dzi to dɔ siwo nède asi nam la nuwuwu me.
5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
Azɔ la, Fofo, ɖe wò ŋutikɔkɔe fiam le wò ŋkume to ŋutikɔkɔe si nènam le gbɔwò hafi xexea me dze egɔme la me.
6 I have manifested your name to the men which you gave me out of the world: your they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept your word.
“Megblɔ ame si ƒomevi nènye la na ame siwo nènam le xexea me la. Tɔwòwoe wonye; ètsɔ wo nam, eye wowɔ ɖe wò nyawo dzi.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are of you.
Azɔ wonya be nu sia nu si nètsɔ nam la tso gbɔwò,
8 For I have given to them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me.
elabena nya si nède asinye la metsɔe na wo, eye woxɔe. Wonyae kɔtɛe be metso gbɔwò, eye woxɔe se hã be wòe dɔm ɖo ɖa.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which you have given me; for they are yours.
Medo gbe ɖa ɖe wo ta; nyemele gbe dom ɖa ɖe xexea me ta o. Ame siwo nètsɔ nam la tae medo gbe ɖa ɖo, elabena tɔwòwoe wonye.
10 And all my are yours, and your are mine; and I am glorified in them.
Nu siwo katã nye tɔnye la, tɔwòe, eye nu siwo katã nye tɔnye la, tɔwòe, eye woawo mee woɖe nye Ŋutikɔkɔe fia le.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Azɔ mele dzodzo ge le xexea me ava gbɔwò, gake wogale xexea me. Fofo kɔkɔe, kpɔ wo ta to wò ŋusẽ kple ŋkɔ me, ŋkɔ si nènam be woawɔ ɖeka abe ale si nye kpli wò miewɔ ɖekae ene.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Esi menɔ wo gbɔ la, mekpɔ wo ta, eye mena be wole dedie to ŋkɔ si nènam la me. Wo dometɔ aɖeke mebu o, negbe wo dometɔ si woɖo be woatsrɔ̃ la ko, be ŋɔŋlɔ la nava eme.
13 And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
“Ke azɔ la, megbɔna gbɔwò, gake mele nya siawo gblɔm esi megale xexea me, be nye dzidzɔ blibo la katã nanɔ wo me.
14 I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Megblɔ wò nyawo na wo, eye xexea me lé fu wo, elabena womeganye xexea me tɔwo o, abe ale si nye hã nyemetso xexea me o ene. Nenema ke nye hã nye agbenɔnɔ mesɔ kple xexea me tɔwo ƒe agbenɔnɔ o.
15 I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.
Fofo, nyemele biabiam be nàɖe wo le xexea me o, ke boŋ nàkpɔ wo ta tso vɔ̃ɖitɔ la ƒe asi me.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Wometso xexea me o, abe ale si nye hã nyemetso xexea me o ene.
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
Kɔ wo ŋu kple nyateƒe la, elabena wò nya la nye nyateƒe.
18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Abe ale si nèdɔm ɖe xexea me ene la, nye hã mele wo dɔm ɖe xexea me.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Mekɔ ɖokuinye ŋu ɖe wo ta, bena woakɔ woawo hã ŋu le nyateƒe la me.”
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
“Nyemele gbe dom ɖa ɖe woawo ɖeɖe ko ta o, ke mele gbe dom ɖa ɖe ame siwo hã ava xɔ dzinye ase to woƒe mawunyagbɔgblɔ me la ta,
21 That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
be wo katã woanɔ ɖeka abe ale si wò, Fofo la, nèle menye, eye nye hã mele mewò ene. Na woawo hã nanɔ mía me, be xexea me naxɔe ase be wòe dɔm.
22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Metsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe si nètsɔ nam la na wo; wo ameawo nenɔ ɖeka le nu sia nu me, be xexea me nanyae be wòe dɔm, eye nèlɔ̃ woawo hã abe ale si nèlɔ̃m ene.
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
Ne mele wo me, eye wò hã nèle menye la, mi katã miade blibo le ɖekanyenye me, ale be xexea me nanya be wòe dɔm eye nèlɔ̃ woawo hã abe ale si nèlɔ̃m ene.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
“Fofo, medi be ame siwo nètsɔ nam la nanɔ gbɔnye be woakpɔ nye ŋutikɔkɔe. Wòe na ŋutikɔkɔe siam, elabena èlɔ̃m vevie hafi xexea me va dzɔ.
25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
“Fofo dzɔdzɔetɔ, togbɔ be xexea me menya wò o hã la, menya wò, eye nusrɔ̃la siawo hã nya be, wòe dɔm.
26 And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it: that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Meɖe ame si nènye la fia wo, eye mayi edzi ana woanya wò, bena lɔlɔ̃ si nètsɔ nam la nanɔ woawo hã me, eye nye hã manɔ wo me.”
