John 17
1 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’atunula eri eggulu, n’ayogera nti, “Kitange ekiseera kituuse. Gulumiza Omwana wo, n’omwana alyoke akugulumize,
2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give everlasting life to all whom you have given him. (aiōnios g166)
nga bwe wamuwa obuyinza ku balina omubiri bonna, bonna be wamuwa alyoke abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
3 This is everlasting life, that they may know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Buno bwe bulamu obutaggwaawo, okutegeera ggwe Katonda omu ow’amazima, n’oyo gwe watuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I glorified you on the earth by accomplishing the work which you have given me to do.
Nkugulumizizza ku nsi, omulimu gwe wantuma okukola, ngumalirizza.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
Kale kaakano, Kitange, ngulumiza wamu naawe mu kitiibwa ekyo kye nnali nakyo ng’ensi tennabeerawo.”
6 I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
“Njolesezza erinnya lyo eri abantu be wampa okuva mu nsi. Baali ba nsi naye n’obampa. Baali babo n’obampa era bakkirizza ekigambo kyo.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
Bategedde nga buli kye nnina kiva gy’oli,
8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
kubanga buli kye wandagira nkibayigirizza ne bakitegeera era bategeeredde ddala nga nava gy’oli, era ne bakkiriza nga ggwe wantuma.
9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
Mbasabira. Sisabira nsi, naye nsabira abo be wampa kubanga babo.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
Ng’ebintu byonna bwe biri ebyange ate era nga bibyo, era ne bibyo nga byange, bampeesa ekitiibwa.
11 I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
Nze sikyali mu nsi, naye bo bali mu nsi, ate nga nzija gy’oli. Kitange Omutukuvu, be wampa bakuume mu linnya lyo, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name which you have given me, and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
Bwe mbadde nabo, abo be wampa mbakuumye mu linnya lyo, ne watabaawo azikirira, okuggyako omwana ow’okubula, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire.”
13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
“Nange kaakano nzija gy’oli, era mbabuulidde ebintu bino nabo babe n’essanyu lyange nga lituukiridde mu bo.
14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Mbawadde ekigambo kyo, ensi n’ebakyawa kubanga si ba nsi nga Nze bwe siri wa nsi.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
Sikusaba kubaggya mu nsi, naye nkusaba obakuume eri omubi.
16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
Si ba nsi nga nange bwe siri wa nsi.
17 Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth.
Obatukuze mu mazima; ekigambo kyo ge mazima.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
Nga bwe wantuma mu nsi, nange bwe ntyo mbatuma mu nsi.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Era neetukuza ku lwabwe nabo balyoke batukuzibwe mu mazima.”
20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,
“Sisabira bano bokka naye nsabira n’abo abanzikiriza olw’ekigambo kyabwe,
21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
bonna babeere bumu, nga ggwe Kitange bw’oli mu Nze, nange nga ndi mu ggwe, nabo babeerenga mu ffe, ensi eryoke ekkirize nga ggwe wantuma.
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;
Mbawadde ekitiibwa kye wampa, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.
Nze nga ndi mu bo, era naawe ng’oli mu Nze balyoke bafuukire ddala omuntu omu. Ensi eryoke etegeere nga ggwe wantuma era nti obaagala nga bw’onjagala.”
24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
“Kitange, bano be wampa njagala mbeere nabo we ndi balyoke bategeere ekitiibwa kyange kye wampa kubanga wanjagala, ng’ensi tennatondebwa.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
“Ayi Kitange Omutukuvu, ensi teyakumanya, kyokka Nze nkumanyi era n’abayigirizwa bano bamanyi nga ggwe wantuma.
26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them."
Era mbayigirizza ne bamanya erinnya lyo, era nzija kwongera okubamanyisa okwagala kwo kw’onjagala, kulyoke kubeerenga mu bo, era nange mbeere mu bo.”
