< 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.
uYesu ai umaligitilye i makani aya, uugwa akanyansula i miho akwe kutunga kilunde nu kuligitya, “Tata, isaa apikiila; mukulye u ng'wana nuako iti nu ng'wenso akukulye u ewe.
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)
anga iti nai uminkiiye i ngulu migulya a yihi ni ikete u muili iti ainkiilye u upanga nua kali na kali awo ihi nai uminkiiye (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)
Uwu wuwo upanga nua kali na kali; kina akulinge u ewe, Itunda nua tai hangi wing'wene, nu ng'wenso nai umulagiiye, uYesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
Ai nukukuiye apa mihi, nu kukondaniilya u mulimo nai uninkiye nuitume.
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.”
Itungili, Tata, unkulye unene palung'wi nu ewe mukola ku ikulyo ilo nai nkoli ni lyenso palung'wi nu ewe ze ikili u unkumbigulu kuumbwa.
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.
Ai nilikunukue i lina nilako ku antu nai uninkiiye apa mi ihi. Ai atulaa antu ako; kuiti ai waninkiilya unene. ni enso aluambilaa u lukani nulako.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
Itungili alingile kina kila kintu nu ninkiiye u nene kipumiie kitolako,
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.
ku makani ayo nai uninkiiye u nene - Nakondya ku inkiilya enso i makani nanso. Ai amasingiiye ni tai akalinga kina unene mpumiie kitalako, nu kuhuiila kina uewe yuyo ai undagiiye.
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.
Kualompeela enso. Shanga ku ulompeela u nkumbigulu ila awo nai ununkiiye ku nsoko i enso ingi ako.
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.
Intu yihi naiza ingi yane ingi yalo, ni izo nuikete uewe ingi yane; nu nene nikukulyaa mu nianso.
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.
uNene nimutili hangi mu unkumbigulu, ila nianso amoli mu unkumbigulu, unene itungili napembyaa kitalako. Tata nu ng'welu, akulye ku lina nilako ilo nai ukinkiiye usese iti kina ni enso atule nu ung'wi, anga unene nu ewe ni kukete u ung'wi.
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].
Nai natulaa ni enso, ai niasungilye ku lina nai uninkiiye; Ai naasunjaa, hangi kutili ga nung'wi ao nai ulimie kwaala ng'wana nuaa mulimili, iti kina ukilisigwa ukondaniile.
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.
Itungili napembyaa kitolako; kuiti kumaligitya aya mu unkumbigulu iti kina iloeelya ni lane likondaniile mukati ao akola.
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].
Nainkiilya ikani nilako; u unkumbigulu waabipilwaa ku nsoko i enso shanga a unkumbigulu, anga iti unene ni shanga ntuile nia unkumbigulu.
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.
Shanga kualompelya kina uaheje mu unkumbigulu ila uasunje nu uyo u mubii.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
Nianso shanga ihi anga iti unene ni shanga ntuile nia mu unkumbigulu.
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.
Uaike mu ikulyo kitalako mu kola mu tai; lukani nulako lulo tai.
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
Ai undagiiye mu unkumbigulu, nu nene na alagiilya mu unkumbigulu.
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
Kunsoko ao unene mukola kipumyaa kitalao iti kina ni enso ipumye ki tolako ku iyo itai.
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.
Shanga wawa duu ni kualompelya, ila ni awo ni ikahuiila kukiila lukani nulao
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.
iti kina ni enso atule nu ung'wi, anga iti uewe Tata, nuili mukati ane nu nene mukati ako. Kualompelya iti kina ni enso ga ahume kutula mu kati itu iti u unkumbigulu uhume kuhuiila kina uewe yuyo ai undagiiye.
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
Ikulyo ilo nai uninkiiye unene - nainkiilya enso, iti kina ahume kutula nu ung'wi, anga iti usese ni kili ung'wi -
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.
Unene mukati ao, nu ewe mukati ane, iti ahume kukondeeligwa mu ung'wi; iti u unkumbigulu ulinge kina kulu kuulu uewe yuyo nai undagiiye, nu kualowa, anga iti uewe nuizaa undoilwe, unene.
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.
Tata, iko nai uninkiiye unene - Nkete nsula kina ni enso ga ahume kutula palung'wi nu nene kianza ni nkoli iti ahume kihenga ikulyo nilane, ilo nai uninkiiye: ku nsoko uewe ai undoilwe unene ze ikili kuumbwa u musingi nua unkumbigulu.
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.
Tata munya tai ane, u unkumbigulu shanga ai ukulingile uewe; kuiti unene nukulingile uewe; hangi alingile kina ai undagiiye.
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].”
Nilizipilye ilina nilako likumuke kitalao, hangi kulizipya likumuke iti kina u ulowa uwo naiza ku nuanso ai undoilwe unene uhume kutula mukati ao, nu nene nihume kutula mukati ao.”
