John 17
1 After Jesus said those things, he looked [up] toward heaven. Then he prayed, “[My] Father, it is now the time [MTY] [for me to suffer and die]. Honor me [as I do that], in order that I may honor you.
Meng Yesu nbelle ilenge imone, a ghantina iyizi me kitene Kutelle aworo, “Ucif, kube nda; ta Usaunfe gongong-
2 You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
nafo na una nighe tigo kitene nanan tilai vat, bara anan na alenge na una nige ulai nsa ligang. (aiōnios g166)
3 [The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
Ulai un saligaghere ulele: inan yininfi, fere cas Kutelle kidegen, a ame ulenge na una tuu, Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
Meng ntafi gongong in yie, na nna kulo katwa ka na unani nsu.
5 [My] Father, now honor me when I am with you [again], by causing me to have the greatness I had when I was with you before the world began.”
Nene, Ucif, tye ngogong umunu litife wang nin nimus ngongon mongo na nwa dimun ninfi a uyie dutu sa ukye.
6 “I have revealed [what] you [are like] to the people whom you brought to me from among those who do not belong to you [MTY]. Those [who came to me] belonged to you, and you brought them to me. Now they have obeyed your message.
Nna durso lissafe kiti nanit alenge na una ni nanyan yii. Inung anit fere, umini na ni inung, inani din dortu ulirufe.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
Nene inung yiru vat nimon ile na una nii, inan nuzu kitifere,
8 I gave them the message that you gave me, and they have accepted it. They now know for certain that I came from you. They now believe that you sent me.
uliru fe na una nii, nna ni nani uliru une. Ina seru tining, inani na yinin kidegenere nna dak unuzu kitife, inani na yinin fere na tuyi.
9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for those [who do not belong to you] [MTY]. Instead, [I am praying] for those whom you have brought to me, because they belong to you.
Ndi nani nlira, na ndi su uyii nlira ba, ama inung alenge na unayi, inung anit fere.
10 All [the disciples] that I have belong to you, and all those who belong to you also belong to me. They have shown how great I am.
Vat nimon ilenge na idi inang, in fere, imongfe inanghari. Meng ta gongon nanya ni ning.
11 I will not be [staying] in the world any longer. I will be coming back to you. They, however, will be [here] in the world [among those who are opposed to you]. [My] Holy Father, protect them from spiritual harm by your power [MTY], the power that you gave me, in order that they may be united as we are united.
Na meng du nanya nyie ba, ama inung anit ane di nanya nyie. Meng din cinu udak kitife. Ucif ulau mino nani nanya lissafe inung alenge na una nii, inan so unit urum, nafo na arik di urume.
12 While I have been with them, I have [completely] protected them by the power [MTY] that you gave me. As a result, only one of them will be eternally separated from you. He is the one who was doomed to be eternally separated from you. [That has happened] to fulfill [what a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [would happen].
Kube na nwa di nan ghinu, nwa ceo nani nanya lissa fe alenge na uwa nii; nwa kesse nani, na unit urum na wolu ba, se ame gonon nnanu, bara ulirufe nan se ukulu.
13 [Father], now I am about to return to you. I have said these things while I am still [here] in the world in order that my [disciples] may fully experience being joyful, as I have been joyful.
Nene ndincinu udak kitife; ama ndin bellu ile imone nanya nyi, bara ayiabo mine nan se ukulu nati mine.
14 I have given them your message. As a result, those who are opposed to you [MTY] have hated them, because [my disciples] do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY], just like I do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY].
Nna ninani ulirufe, uyi na nari inung, bara na inung anan yieri ba, nafo na meng kunan yiere ba.
15 I am asking you, not that you take them out of this world, but instead that you protect them from [Satan], the evil one.
Na ndi nlira ukala nani nanya inyieba ama u kesse nani nin nanan naburi asirne.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
Na inung anan yiere ba, nafo na meng kunan yieri ba.
17 Set [my disciples] apart so that they may (completely belong to/serve) you, by [enabling them to live in accordance with] what is true. Your message is true.
Kusu wesse nani nin kidegen, ulirufe kidegenghari.
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
Una tuyi nanya nyii, meng uni na tuu nani nanya yie.
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
Bara inung, meng na wesse litinighe, inung atimine wang nan se uwessu nanya kidegene.
20 “I am praying not only for these [eleven disciples]. I am praying also for those who [will] believe in me as a result of [hearing] their message.
Na bara alele cas ndin su nlira ba, umunu alenge vat na ima yinnu unuzun liru mine.
21 [My] Father, [I want] all of them to be united, just like I am united with you because of my relationship with you, and as you are united with me because of your relationship with me. I also want them to be united with us. [I want that to happen] so that those who do not know you [MTY] may know that you sent me.
Bara inan so arume vat, nafo nafe Ucif, udi nanya ning, a meng yita nanyafe. Ndin lira inung wang yita nanya bite uyie nan yinna fere na tuyi.
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
Ngongonghe na una nii, nna nii nani unin, inung wang nan yita urum, nafo na arike di arum-
23 I want them to be united just like they are united with me and as you are united with me. May they be completely united, in order that those who do not belong to you [MTY] may know that you sent me and that you have loved them just like you have loved me.
Meng nanya mine, a fe nanya ning, inan se ukulu nanyan warume; bara uyie nan yinno fere na tuyi, umini dinin su mine nafo na udinin su ninghe.
24 [My] Father, I want [the disciples] you have brought to me to [some day] be with me [in heaven], where I will be. I want them to see my greatness. I want them to see the greatness you gave me because you loved me. You gave me that greatness before you created the world.
Ucif, aleli na una nii wang. Ndin piziru inung yita nan mi kiti kanga na nduku, inan yene ngongong nighe, mongo na uwa nii: bara udi nin su nighe a i ditu sa ucizinun kye in yii.
25 [My] righteous Father, although the people who do not belong to you [MTY] do not know what you [are like], I know what you [are like], and my disciples know that you sent me.
Ucif katwa kacine, na uyii yirufi ba, ama meng yirufi, inung alele yiru fere na tuyi.
26 I have revealed to them [what] you [are like], and I will continue to reveal to them [what] you [are like]. I will do that in order that they may love [others] just like you love me, and in order that I may be in them [by my Spirit].”
Nna durso nani lissafe, tutung nba ti nani iyinin bara usuwe na udi mun nan yita nati mine, meng wang nan yita nanya mine.”
