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 aliyasema mambo haya; kisha akainua macho yake kuelelea mbinguni na akasema, “Baba, saa imewadia; mtukuze mwanao ili na mwana naye akutukuze wewe -
2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give everlasting life to all whom you have given him. (aiōnios g166)
kama vile ulivyompatia mamlaka juu ya vyote vyenye mwili ili awape uzima wa milele wale wote uliompatia. (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)
Huu ndio uzima wa milele: kwamba wakujue wewe, Mungu wa kweli na wa pekee, na yeye uliyemtuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I glorified you on the earth by accomplishing the work which you have given me to do.
Nilikutukuza hapa duniani, na kuikamilisha kazi uliyonipa niifanye.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
Sasa, Baba, unitukuze mimi pamoja na wewe mwenyewe kwa utukufu ule niliokuwa nao pamoja na wewe kabla ya ulimwengu kuumbwa.
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.
Nililifunua jina lako kwa watu ulionipa hapa duniani. Walikuwa watu wako; lakini ulinikabidhi mimi. nao wamelishika neno lako.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
Sasa wanajua kuwa kila kitu ulichonipa mimi kinatoka kwako,
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.
kwa maneno yale uliyonipatia mimi— Nimekwisha wapatia wao maneno hayo. Waliyapokea na kweli wakajua ya kuwa mimi nimetoka kwako, na wakaamini kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma.
9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
Ninawaombea wao. Siuombei ulimwaengu bali wale ulionipa kwa kuwa wao ni wako.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
Vitu vyote ambavyo ni vyangu ni vyako, na vile ulivyonavyo wewe ni vyangu; nami ninatukuzwa katika hivyo.
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.
Mimi simo tena ulimwenguni, bali wao wamo ulimwenguni, nami sasa naja kwako. Baba Mtakatifu, watunze kwa jina lako lile ulilonipa sisi ili wao nao wawe na umoja, kama vile mimi na wewe tulivyo na umoja.
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.
Nilipokuwa nao, niliwalinda kwa jina ulilonipa; Niliwalinda, na hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyepotea isipokuwa mwana wa upotevu, ili kwamba maandiko yatimie.
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.
Sasa ninakuja kwako; lakini ninasema haya ulimwenguni ili kwamba furaha yangu ikamilishwe ndani yao wenyewe.
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.
Nimewapa neno lako; ulimwengu imewachukia kwa sababu wao si wa ulimwengu, kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwengu
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
Siwaombei kwamba uwatoe ulimwenguni bali uwalinde na yule mwovu.
16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
Wao si wa dunia kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwenguni.
17 Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth.
Uwaweke wakfu kwako mwenyewe katika Kweli; neno lako ndiyo kweli.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
Ulinituma ulimwenguni, nami nimewatuma ulimwenguni.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe ninajitoa kwako ili kwamba na wao wajitoe kwako kwa ile kweli.
20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,
Si hawa tu ninaowaombea, bali na wale watakaoamini kupitia neno lao
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.
ili kwamba wao nao wawe na umoja, kama vila wewe Baba, ulivyo ndani yangu nami ndani yako. Nawaombea ili kwamba wao pia waweze kuwa ndani yetu ili ulimwengu uweze kuamini kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma.
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;
Utukufu ule ulionipa mimi - nimewapa wao, ili kwamba waweze kuwa na umoja, kama vile sisi tulivyo umoja -
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.
Mimi ndani yao, nawe ndani yangu, ili waweze kukamilishwa katika umoja; ili ulimwengu ujue kuwa hakika wewe ndiye uliyenituma, na kuwapenda, kama vile wewe ulivyonipenda, mimi.
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.
Baba, kile ulichonipa mimi - Natamani kwamba wao pia waweze kuwa pamoja nami mahali nilipo ili waweze kuona utukufu wangu, ule ulionipa: kwa kuwa wewe ulinipenda mimi kabla ya kuumbwa kwa misingi ya ulimwengu.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
Baba mwenye haki, ulimwengu haukukujua wewe, lakini mimi nakujua wewe; na wanajua kwamba ulinituma.
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."
Nililifanya jina lako lijulikane kwao, na nitalifanya lijulikane ili kwamba lile pendo ambalo kwalo ulinipenda mimi liweze kuwa ndani yao, na mimi niweze kuwa ndani yao.”
