< 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.
Yesu aghajobhili mambo agha; kisha akajhinula mihu gha muene kulotela kumbinguni ni kujobha, “Dadi saa jhiwadili; n'tukusijhi mwanabhu ili ni muana ni muene akutukusiajhi bhebhe -
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 )
kama vile kyaghwampelili mamlaka juu jha fyoha fya fijhe ni mb'ele ili abhapelayi uzima bhwa milele bhala bhoha bha wampelili. (aiōnios )
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 )
Obhu ndo uzima bhwa milele: kujha bhakumanyayi bhebhe, K'yara ghwa bhukweli ni ghwa pamisa, ni muene jhaandaghisi Yesu Kristu. (aiōnios )
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
Nakutukusili hapa duniani, ni kujhikamilisya mbombo jha wanipelili kujhibhomba.
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.”
Henu, Dadi, unitukusiajhi nene pamonga ni bhebhe kwa bhutukufu bhola bhwa najhenabhu pamonga ni bhebeh kabla jha ulimwengu kubhombibhwa.
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.
Nalifunuili lihina lya bhebhe kwa bhanu lya wanipelili hapa pa duniani. Bhajhele bhanu bha jhobhi; lakini ghwanikabidhi nene. na bhene bhalikamuili lilobhi lya jhobhi.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
Henu bhamanyili kujha khila khenu kya unipelili nene kihomela kwa bhebhe,
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.
kwa malobhi ghala ghawanipelili nene— Nimalikubhapela bhene malobhi aghu. Bhaghapokili ni kweli bhamanyili jha kujha bhebhe ndo jha unilaghisi.
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.
Nikabhas'omela bhene. Nikabhusomela lepi ulimwengu bali bhala bha unipelili kwa kujha bhene bha jhobhi.
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.
Fenu fyoha ambafyo fya nene ndo fya jhobhi, ni fela fya ujhe nafu bhebhe fya nene; nani nitukusibhwa kwa e'lu.
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.
Nene nijhelepi kabhele ulimwenguni, bali bhanu bhajhele ulimwenguni, nani henu nihida kwa bhebhe. Dadi Mtakatifu, bhatunzayi kwa lihina lya jhobhi lela lya wanipelili tete, ili nabhene bhajhelayi ni umoja, kama vile nene ni bhebhe kyatujhele ni umoja.
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].
Bho nijhe nabhu, nabhalendili kwa lihina lya wanipelili, nabhalendili na ajhelepi hata mmonga ghwa bhene jha ajhaghili isipokujha mwana upotevu, ili kwamba maandiku ghatimilayi.
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.
Henu nihida kwa bhebhe; lakini nijobha agha ulimwenguni ili kwamba furaha jha nene ikamulisibhwayi mugati mwa bhene.
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].
Nibhapelili lilobhi lya bhebhe; ulimwengu ubhadadili kwandabha bhenye bha ulimwenguni ubhadadili kwandabha bhene bha ulimwengu lepi, kama vile nene kyanijhelepi ghwa ulimwengu
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.
Nikabhaombela lepi kujha ubhabhosiajhi ku ulimwengu bali ubhalendayi ni jhola mwovu.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
Bhene sio bha dunia kama vile nene kyanibelikujha ghwa ulimwengu.
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.
Ubhabhekayi bhakfu kwa jhobhi ghwa muene mu bhukweli; lilobhi lya jhobhi ndo bhukweli.
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
Wanilaghisi ku ulimwengu, nani nibhalaghisi ku ulimwengu.
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
Kwa ndabha jha bhene nene ne muene nikipisya kwa bhebhe ili kwamba ni bhene bhakipisyayi kwa bhebhe ku bhukweli.
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.
Sio abha tu bhanikabhas'okela, bali ni bhala bhabhibeta kukiera kup'etela lilobhi lya bhene
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.
ili kwamba nabhene bhajhelayi ni umoja, kama vile bhebhe Dadi, ujhe mugati mwa nene nani mugati mwa bhebhe. Nikabhasokela ili kwamba bhene pia bhajhelayi mugati mwa tete ili ulimwengu ubhwesujhi kukiera kujha bhebhe ndiye jha unilaghisi.
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
Utukufu bhola bhwa unipelili nene - nibhapelili bhene, ili kwamba bhabhwesiayi kujha ni umoja kama vile tete kyatujha ni umoja
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.
-Nene mugati mwa bhene, nabhi mugati mwa nene, ili bhabhwesijhi kukamilisibhwa mu umoja; ili ulimwengu umanyayi kujha hakika bhebhe ndiye jha unitumili, ni kubhagana, kama vile bhebhe kyauniganili, nene.
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.
Dadi khela kya unipelili nene - Ninoghela kujha bhene pia bhabhwesiajhi kujha pamonga nani mahali pa nijhele ili bhabhwesiayi kulola utukufu bhwa nene, bhola unipelili: kwa kujha bhebhe ghwaniganili nene kabla jha kubhomb'eka kwa misingi jha ulimwengu.
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.
Dadi jha ujhe ni haki, ulimwengu bhwakumanyilepi bhebhe, lakini nene nikumanyili bhebhe; na bhamanyili kujhe ghwanilaghisi.
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].”
Nalibhombili lihina lya bhebhe limanyikinayi kwa bhene, na nibetakulibhomba limanyikinayi ili kwamba l'ela lipendo ambalyo kwa jhobhi ghwaniganili nene libhweajhi kujha mugati mwa bhene, ni nene nibhwesiajhi kujha mugayi mwa bhene.”
