Yochanan 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;
Baada ya Yesu kusema haya, alitazama kuelekea mbinguni akawaombea na kusema: “Baba, saa imewadia. Umtukuze Mwanao, ili Mwanao apate kukutukuza 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)
Kwa kuwa umempa mamlaka juu ya wote wenye mwili ili awape uzima wa milele wale uliompa. (aiōnios g166)
3 This is everlasting life, that they may know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus (the) Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
Nao uzima wa milele ndio huu, wakujue wewe uliye Mungu wa pekee, wa kweli na Yesu Kristo uliyemtuma. (aiōnios g166)
4 I glorified you on the earth by accomplishing the work which you have given me to do.
Nimekutukuza wewe duniani kwa kuitimiza ile kazi uliyonipa niifanye.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
Hivyo sasa, Baba, unitukuze mbele zako kwa ule utukufu niliokuwa nao pamoja na wewe kabla ulimwengu haujakuwepo.
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.
“Nimelidhihirisha jina lako kwa wale ulionipa kutoka ulimwengu. Walikuwa wako, nawe ukanipa mimi, nao wamelitii neno lako.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
Sasa wamejua ya kuwa vyote ulivyonipa vimetoka 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 kuwa maneno yale ulionipa nimewapa wao, nao wameyapokea na kujua kwamba kweli nimetoka kwako, nao wameamini kuwa wewe ulinituma.
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. Mimi siuombei ulimwengu, bali nawaombea wale ulionipa kwa sababu wao ni wako.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
Wote walio wangu ni wako na walio wako ni wangu, nami nimetukuzwa ndani yao.
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 sasa simo tena ulimwenguni, lakini wao bado wamo ulimwenguni, nami naja kwako. Baba Mtakatifu, uwalinde kwa uweza wa jina lako ulilonipa, ili wawe na umoja kama sisi tulivyo wamoja.
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 pamoja nao, niliwalinda, wakawa salama kwa lile jina ulilonipa. Hakuna hata mmoja aliyepotea, isipokuwa yule aliyekusudiwa upotevu, ili Maandiko yapate kutimia.
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.
“Lakini sasa naja kwako, nami ninasema mambo haya wakati bado nikiwa ulimwenguni, ili wawe na furaha yangu kamili ndani yao.
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, nao ulimwengu umewachukia kwa kuwa wao si wa ulimwengu kama mimi nisivyo wa ulimwengu huu.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
Siombi kwamba uwaondoe ulimwenguni, bali uwalinde dhidi ya yule mwovu.
16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
Wao si wa ulimwengu huu, kama vile mimi nisivyo wa ulimwengu.
17 Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth.
Uwatakase kwa ile kweli, neno lako ndilo kweli.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
Kama vile ulivyonituma mimi ulimwenguni, nami nawatuma vivyo hivyo.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Kwa ajili yao najiweka wakfu ili wao nao wapate kutakaswa katika ile kweli.
20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,
“Siwaombei hawa peke yao, bali nawaombea na wale wote watakaoniamini 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 wawe na umoja kama vile wewe Baba ulivyo ndani yangu na mimi nilivyo ndani yako, wao nao wawe ndani yetu, ili ulimwengu upate kuamini ya kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma mimi.
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 nimewapa wao, ili wawe na umoja kama sisi tulivyo wamoja.
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 yako na wewe ndani yangu, ili wawe wamekamilika katika umoja na ulimwengu upate kujua ya kuwa umenituma, nami nimewapenda wao kama unavyonipenda 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, shauku yangu ni kwamba, wale ulionipa wawe pamoja nami pale nilipo, ili waweze kuuona utukufu wangu, yaani, utukufu ule ulionipa kwa kuwa ulinipenda hata kabla ya kuwekwa 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, ingawa ulimwengu haukujui, mimi ninakujua, nao wanajua ya kuwa umenituma.
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."
Nimefanya jina lako lijulikane kwao nami nitaendelea kufanya lijulikane, ili kwamba upendo ule unaonipenda mimi uwe ndani yao na mimi mwenyewe nipate kuwa ndani yao.”
