< 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:
Jesũ aarĩkia kuuga maũndũ macio, agĩtiira maitho akĩrora na igũrũ, akĩhooya, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Baba hĩndĩ nĩ nginyu. Goocithia Mũrũguo, nĩguo nake Mũrũguo akũgoocithie.
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 )
Nĩgũkorwo nĩũmũheete ũhoti wa gwatha andũ othe, nĩguo arĩa othe ũmũheete amahe muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios )
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (aiōnios )
Na rĩu ũyũ nĩguo muoyo wa tene na tene: Atĩ makũmenye, o Wee Ngai ũrĩa wa ma, na mamenye Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa ũtũmĩte. (aiōnios )
4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.
Nĩngũgoocithĩtie gũkũ thĩ na ũndũ wa kũrĩĩkia wĩra ũrĩa waheire ndute.
5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
Na rĩu Baba, ngoocithia ndĩ mbere yaku na riiri ũrĩa ndaarĩ naguo hamwe nawe o mbere thĩ ĩtaanagĩa.
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.
“Nĩnguũrĩirie andũ arĩa waheire gũkũ thĩ rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Acio maarĩ aku; nawe ũkĩĩhe o, nao nĩmathĩkĩire kiugo gĩaku.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are of you.
Na rĩu nĩmamenyete atĩ indo iria ciothe ũheete ciumĩte kũrĩ wee.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩndamaheire ciugo iria waheire, nao magĩciĩtĩkĩra. Nĩmamenyire hatarĩ nganja atĩ ndoimire kũrĩ wee, na magĩĩtĩkia atĩ wee nĩwe wandũmire.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which you have given me; for they are yours.
Acio nĩo ndĩrahoera. Ndirahoera andũ a gũkũ thĩ, no ndĩrahoera arĩa ũũheete, nĩgũkorwo nĩ aku.
10 And all my are yours, and your are mine; and I am glorified in them.
Kĩrĩa gĩothe ndĩ nakĩo nĩ gĩaku, na kĩrĩa gĩothe ũrĩ nakĩo nĩ gĩakwa. Naguo ũgooci nĩũũkĩte kũrĩ niĩ nĩ ũndũ wao.
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.
Ndigũikara gũkũ thĩ rĩngĩ, no-o marĩ o gũkũ thĩ, na niĩ ndĩroka kũrĩ wee. Baba Mũtheru, magitĩre na ũhoti wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku, rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa waheire, nĩgeetha matuĩke ũmwe o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũrĩ ũmwe.
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.
Rĩrĩa ndĩraarĩ nao, nĩndĩramagitagĩra na ngamamenyerera na rĩĩtwa rĩu waheire. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũũrĩte o tiga ũrĩa wathĩrĩirwo kwanangwo nĩguo Maandĩko mahingio.
13 And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
“Rĩu ndĩroka kũrĩ wee, no maũndũ maya ndĩroiga ndĩ o gũkũ thĩ, nĩguo maiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno gĩakwa kĩrĩ gĩkinyanĩru kũna thĩinĩ wao.
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.
Nĩndĩmaheete kiugo gĩaku, nao andũ a gũkũ thĩ makamathũũra, nĩgũkorwo o ti a gũkũ thĩ rĩngĩ, o ta ũrĩa niĩ itarĩ wa gũkũ thĩ.
15 I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.
Ihooya rĩakwa ti ũmarute gũkũ thĩ, no nĩ atĩ ũmagitagĩre kuuma kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũru.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
O ti a gũkũ thĩ, o ta ũrĩa o na niĩ itarĩ wakuo.
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
Maamũre, ũmatherie na ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma; ũhoro waku nĩguo ũhoro wa ma.
18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
O ta ũrĩa wandũmire gũkũ thĩ, na niĩ noguo ndamatũma kũrĩ andũ a gũkũ thĩ.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Ndĩĩtheretie nĩ ũndũ wao, nĩguo o nao matherio kũna nĩ ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
“Ningĩ to aya oiki ndĩrahoera. Ndĩrahoera o na arĩa angĩ makaanjĩtĩkia nĩ ũndũ wa ndũmĩrĩri ya aya,
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.
nĩguo othe matuĩke ũmwe Baba, o ta ũrĩa we ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa na niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ waku. O nao marogĩa thĩinĩ witũ nĩgeetha andũ a gũkũ thĩ metĩkie atĩ nĩwe ũndũmĩte.
22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Nĩndĩmaheete riiri ũrĩa waheire, nĩguo matuĩke ũmwe o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũrĩ ũmwe,
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.
niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wao, nawe ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa. Marotuĩka ũmwe kũna, nĩgeetha andũ a gũkũ thĩ mamenye atĩ nĩwe wandũmire, na atĩ nĩũmendete o ta ũrĩa ũnyendete.
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.
“Baba, ngwenda arĩa ũũheete makorwo na niĩ harĩa ndĩ na mone riiri wakwa, riiri ũrĩa ũũheete nĩ ũndũ nĩwanyendete thĩ ĩtanombwo.
25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
“Baba Mũthingu, o na gũtuĩka andũ a gũkũ thĩ matikũũĩ-rĩ, niĩ nĩngũũĩ, nao nĩ moĩ atĩ nĩwe ũndũmĩte.
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.
Nĩngũmenyithanĩtie kũrĩ o, na nĩngũkĩrĩrĩria gũkũmenyithania, nĩgeetha wendani ũrĩa ũnyendete naguo ũikarage thĩinĩ wao na nĩguo o na niĩ mwene ngoragwo thĩinĩ wao.”
