John 17
1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up His eyes to the sky, and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify Your Son, that Your Son may also glorify You,
UJesu wakhuluma lezizinto, waphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, wathi: Baba, ihola selifikile; dumisa iNdodana yakho, ukuze layo iNdodana yakho ikudumise;
2 according as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, that—all that You have given to Him—He may give to them continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
njengoba uyinikile amandla phezu kwayo yonke inyama, ukuze bonke obanike yona, ibanike impilo elaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this is the continuous life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Him whom You sent—Jesus Christ; (aiōnios g166)
Lalokhu yimpilo elaphakade, ukuthi bazi wena uNkulunkulu wedwa weqiniso, loJesu Kristu omthumileyo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I glorified You on the earth, having completed the work that You have given Me, that I should do.
Mina ngikudumisile emhlabeni; ngiwuqedile umsebenzi obunginike wona ukuthi ngiwenze;
5 And now, glorify Me, You Father, with Yourself, with the glory that I had with You before the world was;
khathesi-ke ngidumise wena, Baba, ngilawe uqobo ngenkazimulo engangilayo kanye lawe ungakabi khona umhlaba.
6 I revealed Your Name to the men whom You have given to Me out of the world; they were Yours, and You have given them to Me, and they have kept Your word;
Ngilibonakalisile ibizo lakho ebantwini onginike bona bevela emhlabeni; babengabakho, njalo wanginika bona; balilondolozile ilizwi lakho.
7 now they have known that all things, as many as You have given to Me, are from You,
Khathesi sebesazi ukuthi konke, loba yikuphi onginike khona, kuvela kuwe;
8 because the sayings that You have given to Me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
ngoba amazwi onginike wona, ngibanikile wona; bawemukela, njalo bayazi ngeqiniso ukuthi ngiphuma kuwe, bakholiwe ukuthi ungithumile wena.
9 I ask in regard to them; I do not ask in regard to the world, but in regard to those whom You have given to Me, because they are Yours,
Mina ngiyabakhulekela bona; kangikhulekeli umhlaba, kodwa labo onginike bona, ngoba bangabakho;
10 and all Mine are Yours, and Yours [are] Mine, and I have been glorified in them;
njalo konke okwami kungokwakho, lokwakho kungokwami; njalo ngidunyisiwe kubo.
11 and I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your Name, whom You have given to Me, that they may be one as We [are one];
Njalo kangisekho emhlabeni, kodwa basemhlabeni bona, njalo mina ngiyeza kuwe. Baba oNgcwele, balondoloze ebizweni lakho labo onginike bona, ukuze babe munye, njengathi.
12 when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Your Name; I guarded those whom You have given to Me, and none of them were destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.
Lapho ngiselabo emhlabeni, mina ngabalondoloza ebizweni lakho; labo onginike bona ngibalindile, njalo kakho kubo olahlekileyo, ngaphandle kwendodana yokulahlwa, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo.
13 And now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves;
Kodwa khathesi ngiza kuwe, njalo lezizinto ngizikhuluma emhlabeni, ukuze babe lentokozo yami igcwalisekile kubo.
14 I have given Your word to them, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;
Mina ngibanikile ilizwi lakho, lomhlaba ubazondile, ngoba bengeyisibo abomhlaba, njengoba mina ngingesuye owomhlaba.
15 I do not ask that You may take them out of the world, but that You may keep them out of the evil.
Kangiceli ukuthi ubasuse emhlabeni, kodwa ukuze ubalondoloze kokubi.
16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world;
Kabasibo abomhlaba, njengalokhu mina ngingesuye owomhlaba.
17 sanctify them in Your truth, Your word is truth;
Bangcwelise eqinisweni lakho; ilizwi lakho liliqiniso.
18 as You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world;
Njengalokhu wangithuma emhlabeni, lami ngibathumile emhlabeni.
19 and I sanctify Myself for them, that they also may be sanctified in truth themselves.
Njalo mina ngizehlukanisela bona, ukuze labo behlukaniswe eqinisweni.
20 And I do not ask in regard to these alone, but also in regard to those who will be believing in Me through their word,
Njalo kangiceleli laba bodwa, kodwa lalabo abazakholwa kimi ngelizwi labo;
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 sent Me.
ukuze bonke babe munye; njengalokhu wena, Baba, ukimi, lami ngikuwe, ukuze labo babe munye kithi; ukuze umhlaba ukholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile.
22 And I have given to them the glory that You have given to Me, that they may be one as We are one—
Lenkazimulo mina onginike yona, ngibanikile bona, ukuze babe munye, njengathi simunye.
23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them as You loved Me.
Mina ngikubo, lawe ukimi, ukuze bapheleliswe babe munye, lokuze umhlaba wazi ukuthi wena ungithumile, lokuthi ubathandile, njengalokhu ungithandile.
24 Father, those whom You have given to Me, I will that where I am they also may be with Me, that they may behold My glory that You gave to Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
Baba, labo onginike bona, ngithanda ukuthi lapho mina engikhona, labo babe lami; ukuze babone inkazimulo yami, onginike yona, ngoba wangithanda kungakasekelwa umhlaba.
25 Righteous Father, also the world did not know You, and I knew You, and these have known that You sent Me,
Baba olungileyo, ngitsho umhlaba kawukwazanga, kodwa mina ngikwazile, lalaba bayazi ukuthi wena ungithumile;
26 and I made known to them Your Name, and will make known, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
njalo ngibazisile ibizo lakho, njalo ngizabazisa lona; ukuze uthando ongithande ngalo lube kubo, lami kubo.
