< 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.
Jesus in hi thu teng a son zawkciang in, vantung ento a, Pa awng, a hun cing zo hi; na Tapa minthangsak in, tabang in na Tapa in zong nangma min hong thangsak tu hi:
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)
Tapa tung ah na piak theampo, Ama in tawntung nuntakna pia tu in mihing theampo tung ah thuneina na pia zo hi. (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)
Amate in nangma bek a thuman Pathian hi, ci le na sawlkhiat Jesus Christ heak sia tawntung nuntakna hi. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
Leitung ah na min ka thangsak zo hi: vawt tu in nong piak nasep ka seam zo hi.
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.”
Pa awng, tu in, leitung om ma in nangma taw ka neisa minthanna taw hong minthangsak tan.
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.
Leitung mite sung pan nong piak mihing te tung ah na min kilangsak zo khi hi: amate sia nangma a, a hi uh a, keima nong piak te a hi uh hi; taciang amate in na thu zui uh hi.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
Tu in, nangma in nong piak theampo te sia nangma tung pan hi, ci amate in he zo uh hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile nangma in nong piak tu te amate ka pia zo hi; taciang amate in hong sang zo uh hi, taciang na kung pan in ka pusuak hi, ci le nangma in nong sawl hi, ci amate in um zo uh hi.
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.
Amate atu in thu kong ngen hi: leitung mite atu in kong ngen bua hi, ahihang nangma i nong piak te atu thu kong ngen hi; banghangziam cile amate sia nangma a, a hihi.
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.
Ka nei theampo sia nangma a, hi a, na nei theampo sia keima a, a hihi; taciang amate sung ah keima min a thang hi.
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.
Tu in keima sia leitung ah om nawn ngawl tu khi hi, ahihang hi te sia leitung ah om lai tu uh hi, taciang keima sia na kung ah hongpai tu khi hi. A Thiangtho ka Pa awng, kei tung ah nong piak sate sia, eite bang in pumkhat a hi thei natu in, na min suang in na keamcing in.
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].
Amate kung leitung ah ka omlai in, amate na min taw ka keamcing hi: nangma i nong piak te sia, laithiangtho tangtungsak siatna i tapa simngawl; khatzong bosua ngawl in ka keamcing zo hi.
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.
Tu in na kung ah kongpai tu hi; amate in ka lungdamna sia mate sung ah a kicin thei natu in, hi thu te leitung ah ka son hi.
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].
Amate na thu ka pia zo hi; taciang leitung mite in amate ensan uh hi, banghangziam cile keima sia leitung mi ka hi ngawl bangma in amate zong a hi bua uh hi.
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.
Amate leitung pan lato tu in kong ngen bua hi, ahihang mihing pha ngawl pa kung pan keamcing tu in kong ngen hi.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
Keima sia leitung mi ka hi ngawl bangma in, amate zong leitung mi a hi bua uh hi.
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.
Amate na thutak taw in thiangthosak in: na kammal sia thutak a hihi.
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
Keima leitung ah nong sawl bang in, amate zong keima in leitung ah ka sawl hi.
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
Amate thutak taw in thianthosak ahi thei natu in, amate hang in keima le keima ka ki thiangthosak hi.
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.
Amate atu bek thu kong ngen bua hi, ahihang amate thuhilna taw in keima hong umte atu zong thu kong ngen hi;
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.
Nangma in nong sawl hi, ci leitung mite in a up thei natu uh ahizong, amate theampo pumkhat hi tu in, ka Pa awng, nangma sia keima sung ah na om a, keima zong nangma sung ah ka om bangma in, amate zong i sung ah pumkhat a hi tu in, thu kong ngen hi.
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
Nangma le keima sia pumkhat i hi bangma in amate zong pumkhat a sua thei natu in, nangma i nong piak minthanna sia amate ka pia zo hi:
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.
Amate pumkhat sung ah a cialcing thei natu in, keima sia amate sung ah ka om a, taciang nangma sia ka sung ah na om hi; taciang nangma in nong sawl a, keima nong it bangma in amate zong na it hi, ci leitung mite in he tu uh hi.
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.
Pa awng, nangma in nong piaksa te ka omna mun ah om tu in le; nangma in nong piak ka minthanna sia amate in zong a mu thei natu ka dei hi: banghangziam cile nangma in leitung a ki bitphua ma in nong it zo hi.
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.
Maw a thuman ka Pa, leitung mite in hong he ngawl hi: ahihang keima in kong he zo hi, taciang hite in zong nangma in nong sawl hi, ci a he zo uh hi.
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].”
Na min sia amate tung ah ka tangko zo a, taciang tangko lai tu khi hi: tabang in nangma in keima nong itna sia amate sung ah om tu a, taciang keima zong amate sung ah ka om tu hi, ci hi.
