John 17

1 When Jesus had thus spoken, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee;

Jesu hamana ku wamba izi zintu, ncha katwila menso akwe kwi wulu mi na ti, “Itayo, inako chi yasika, ulumbeke Mwanako njo kuti Mwana naye aku lumbeke-

2 according as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that he should give everlasting life to all whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)

sina kamo ba muheli buyendisi he wulu lya zi bumbantu zonse njo kuti awole kuha buhalo busamani kwa zumwi ni zumwi yo ba muhi. (aiōnios g166)

3 And this is the everlasting life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send. (aiōnios g166)

Ubu buhalo busamani: kuti ba kwizi, Ireeza yenke we niti, mi iye yo ba tumi, Jesu Kerisite. (aiōnios g166)

4 I have glorified thee on the earth, having finished the work which thou gavest me to do;

Ni baku tembi hansi. Ni ba mani mutendo oba nihi kuti ni tende.

5 and now, Father! do thou glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Linu, Tayo, ni tembe hamwina nawe cha ku tembwa ku ni bena nawe pili inkanda ni seni ku bumbwa.

6 I manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

Ni ba sinululi izina lya ko ku bantu bo banihi kuzwilila mwi nkanda. I bali bako, mi ni waba ni ha, mi baba kuteki inzwi lya ko.

7 Now they know that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee;

Hanu chi bezi kuti zintu zonse zo banihi zi zwa kwako,

8 for I have given to them the words which thou hast given me; and they received them, and knew surely that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.

mukuti ni babahi ma nzwi anse oba nihi. Ba ba atambuli mi cho buniti ba be zibi kuti nibazwi kwako, mi baba zumini kuti ubani tumi.

9 I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine;

Ni ba lapelela. Kani lapeleli inkanda kono ni lapelela abo boba nihi, mukuti nji bako.

10 and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

Chonse chili cha ngu nji chako, mi chako nji changu, mi ni tembetwe mu bali.

11 And I am no longer in the world; and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father! keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

Kani si mwina mwi inkanda, kono aba bantu bena mwi inkanda, mi ni keza kwako. I tayo yo Jolola, ba bike mwi zina lyako abo boba nihi njikuti babe ba mwina, sina hatuli umwina.

12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, and guarded them; and no one of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

Hani ba sina nabo, ni baba bikite mwi zina lyako, lyo banihi. Ni baba silelezi, mi nanta yenke wabo ya ba sinyehi, kwanda ya mwana we nsinyeho, njo kuti mañolo e zuzilizwe.

13 But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them.

Hanu ni keza kwako, kono ni wamba izi zintu mwi inkanda nji kuti babe ni ku saanga kwangu kwi zuzilizwe mu bali.

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.

Ni ba bahi inzwi lya ko, mi inkanda ibaba toyi kakuti kahena be nkanda, sina hani sali we nkanda.

15 I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.

Kani kukumbili kuti uba zwise mwi inkanda kono uba wungule ku mubilala.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Kahena be inkanda, sina hani sali we inkanda.

17 Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is truth.

Ba kungule kumbali cho buniti. Inzwi lyako buniti.

18 As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

Sina mo bani tumini mwi inkanda, linu nibaba tumi mwi inkanda.

19 And in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.

Che baka lyabo ni bali kunguli kumbali, mukuti abo beene nabo ba kungwilwe kumbali mubu niti.

20 Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe in me through their word;

Kani lapeli bulyo chaba, kono nabo bonse bani zumine kache nzwi lyabo.

21 that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

Njo kuti bonse babe bamwina, sina iwe, Tayo, mwina mwa ngu, mi nina mwenu. Ni lapela kuti nabo babe mwetu njo kuti inkanda mwi zumine kuti ubani tumi.

22 And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one;

Kutembwa kuna kobanihi, ni ba kubahi, njo kuti babe ba mwina, sina hatuli bamwina.

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

I me mu baali, mi iwe mwangu. Njo kuti be zuzilizwe mu mwina, njo kuti inkanda izibe kuti uba ni tumi, mi uba ba suni, sina mo ba ni sunini.

24 Father! as to that which thou hast given me, I desire that they also 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.

Tayo, Ni saka kuti abo bo banihi nabo babe name kwete nibe njo kuti ba bone ku tembwa kwangu, ko banihi. Mukuti ubani suni kuzwililila ku matangilo a ku bumbwa kwe inkanda.

25 Righteous Father! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me.

Itayo yo lukiti, inkanda kena iba kwizi, kono ni kwizi: mi aba bezi kuti ubani tumi.

26 And I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Ni be zibisi izina lya ko kubali, mi ni sili izibisa njo kuti ke lato lyo bani saki kalyo libe mubali, mi munibe mubali.”
