John 17
1 THESE words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
Jesu nakamana kwamba zintu eezi, wakatambya meso akwe kumajulu akwamba kuti, “Taata, chiindi chasika, mupe bulemu Mwanaako kuchitila kuti alakwe Mwana akupe bulemu -
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)
mbuli mbwakamupa bwendelezi atala ailengwa zyoonse kuchitila kuti azope buumi butamani kuli woonse ooyo ngwakapa kuli nguwe. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)
Mbuli ibuumi butamani kuti bakuzibe, nduwe Leza wakasimpe, akuli nguwe ooyo ngwakatuma, Jesu Kkilisito. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
Ndakakupa bulemu anyika. Ndakamaninsya mulimo oyo nguwakandipa kuti nguuchite.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
Lino, Taata, kondilemya antomwe ayebo abulemu obo mbendali kujusi nkechili ayebo, inyika kitanaanzwa.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
Ndakayubununa izina lyako kubantu aabo mbwakandipa kuzwa kunyika. Bakali bako, wakabapeda kuli ndime bakabamba ijwi lyako.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
Lino bakaziba kuti zyoonse eezyo nzwakandipa zizwa kuli nduwe,
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
Nkambo ndakabapa woonse majwi ayo ngwakandipa. Bakaatambula mpawo akuziba bwini bwakuti ndakazwa kuli nduwe mpawo bakasyoma kuti wakandituma.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
Ndabakombela. Nsikombeli banyika pe pesi aabo mbwakandipa nkambo mbibako.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
Choonse eecho changu nchichaako mpawo chako nchichangu mpawo mpegwa bulemu mulimbabo.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Nsichili munyika, pesi aaba bantu balimunyika, mpawo ndikuza kuli nduwe. Taata Uusalala, babambe muzina lyako elyo nduwe wakandipa kuchitila kuti babe bamwi mbuli mbutuli bamwi.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Nindakachili ambabo, ndakabambide kabotu muzina lyako, eelyo ndwakandipa. Ndakaba kwabilila, mpawo takwe nikuba umwi wakanyonyoka, kusiya mwana wabajayi, kuchitila malembe kuti azuzikizigwe.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
Lino ndaboola kulinduwe, pesi ndikwamba zintu eezi munyika kuchitila kuti lukondo lwangu luzozuzikizigwe muli mbabo.
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.
Ndakabapa ijwi lyako, mpwao nyika yakabasula nkambo tabali benyika eeyi, mbuuli mbuntali wenyika.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Nsilokukumbila kuli nduwe kuti ubagwisye munyika, pesi kuti babambwe kabotu kulibaabo batalomene.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Tembanyika pe mbuli mbentali wenyika ambebo.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Mubaanzanisye kwinda kukasimpe. Ijwi lyako ndayakasimpe.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Mbuli mbowakandituma munyika ndabatuma ambebo munyika.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Akambo kambabo, ndalibamba lwangu kuchitila kuti abalabo babambwe mukasimpe.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
Nsikombeli aaba luzutu pe, pesi abaabo batakasyome mulindime kwinda kujwi lyaako
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Kuchitila kuti boonse bakabe umwi mbuli nduwe. Taata mbuli muli ndime, andime ndimuli nduwe. Aabalabo abaabe muli ndiswe kuchitila kuti inyika ikasyome kuti nduwe nuwakandituma.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Ibulemu oobo mbuwakandipa, ndakabupa kuli mbabo, kuchitila kuti babe uumwi, mbuli mbundi umwi.
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Ime muli mbabo, mpawo iwe muli ndime - kuti mpobazulila mulukamantano, kuti inyika izibe kuti wakandituma akuti wakabayanda mbuli mbuwakayanda ndime.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Taata, njanda aabo mbwakandipa kuti baabe andime ooko nkuumbede, mpawo akubona bulemu mbwakandipa nkambo wakandiyanda intalisyo yenyika kitana kubambwa.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
Taata ululeme, inyika teyaka kwizi pe, pesi mebo ndakali kwizi, mpawo aaba balizi kuti wakandituma.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Ndakachita kuti izina lyako lizibinkane kuli mbabo, nkabela ndichiyolizibya kuchitila kuti luyando ndwakandiyanda aalo lukabe muli mbabo, mpawo nooli muli mbabo.”
