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.

Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi lea ni, ʻo hanga hake hono fofonga ki he langi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho; fakaongoongolelei ho ʻAlo, koeʻuhi ke fakaongoongolelei koe ʻe ho ʻAlo foki:

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)

He kuo ke tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ki he kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke ne foaki ʻae moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ke foaki kiate ia. (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)

Pea ko eni ʻae moʻui taʻengata, ko ʻenau ʻilo koe ko e ʻOtua moʻoni pe taha, mo Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻa ke fekau. (aiōnios g166)

4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.

Kuo u fakaongoongolelei koe ʻi māmani: kuo u fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue naʻa ke tuku mai ke u fai.

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.”

Pea ko eni, ʻe Tamai, ke ke fakaongoongolelei au ʻi ho ʻao, ʻaki ʻae nāunau naʻaku maʻu mo koe, ʻi he teʻeki ngaohi ʻa māmani.

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.

“Kuo u fakaʻilo ho huafa ki he kau tangata naʻa ke foaki kiate au mei māmani: naʻe ʻaʻau ʻakinautolu, pea naʻa ke foaki ʻakinautolu kiate au; pea kuo nau maʻu hoʻo folofola.

7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.

Pea ʻoku nau ʻilo eni ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke tuku kiate au, ʻoku meiate koe ia.

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.

He kuo u tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi folofola naʻa ke tuku kiate au; pea kuo nau maʻu ia, pea kuo nau ʻilo pau naʻaku haʻu meiate koe, pea kuo nau tui naʻa ke fekauʻi au.

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.

“ʻOku ou lotua ʻakinautolu: ʻoku ʻikai te u lotua ʻa māmani, ka ko kinautolu kuo ke foaki kiate au; he ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻakinautolu.

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.

Pea ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻaku, pea ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻaʻau; pea ʻoku ou ongoongolelei ʻiate kinautolu.

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.

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai te u kei ʻi māmani, ka ʻoku ʻi māmani ʻakinautolu ni, pea ʻoku ou ʻalu atu kiate koe. ʻE Tamai Māʻoniʻoni, tauhi ʻi ho huafa ʻoʻou ʻakinautolu kuo ke foaki kiate au, koeʻuhi ke nau taha pe, ʻo hangē ko kitaua.

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].

‌ʻI heʻeku ʻiate kinautolu ʻi māmani, ne u tauhi ʻakinautolu ʻi ho huafa: ko kinautolu naʻa ke foaki kiate au kuo u tauhi, pea ʻoku ʻikai mole hanau taha, ka ko e foha ʻoe malaʻia; ʻaia ʻoku fakamoʻoni ai ʻae tohi.

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.

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻalu atu kiate koe; pea ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi māmani, koeʻuhi ke kakato ai ʻenau fiefia ʻiate au.

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].

Kuo u tuku kiate kinautolu ʻa hoʻo folofola; pea kuo fehiʻa ʻa māmani kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē foki ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani au.

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.

‌ʻOku ʻikai te u lotu ke ke ʻave ʻakinautolu mei he māmani, ka koeʻuhi ke ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he kovi.

16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.

‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻo māmani ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani au.

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.

Fakatapui ʻakinautolu ʻi hoʻo moʻoni: ko hoʻo folofola ko e moʻoni ia.

18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.

Hangē ko hoʻo fekau au ki māmani, ʻoku pehē ʻeku fekau ʻakinautolu ki māmani.

19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”

Pea ʻoku ou fakatapui au koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu foki ʻi he moʻoni.

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.

“Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko ʻeku lotua ʻakinautolu ni pē, ka ko kinautolu foki ʻe tui kiate au ʻi heʻenau lea;

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.

Koeʻuhi ke taha pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē; ʻo hangē ʻoku ke ʻiate au, ʻe Tamai, mo au ʻiate koe, koeʻuhi ke nau taha pe foki ʻiate kitaua: koeʻuhi ke tui ʻa māmani naʻa ke fekau au.

22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.

Pea ko e nāunau naʻa ke tuku kiate au, kuo u tuku kiate kinautolu; koeʻuhi ke taha pe ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē foki ʻoku ta taha pe:

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.

Ko au ʻiate kinautolu, mo koe ʻiate au, koeʻuhi ke fakahaohaoa fakataha ʻakinautolu; pea ke ʻilo ʻe māmani kuo ke fekau au, pea ʻoku ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻofa kiate au.

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.

‌ʻE Tamai, ko hoku loto foki kiate kinautolu kuo ke foaki kiate au, ke nau ʻiate au ʻi he potu ʻoku ou ʻi ai: koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoku nāunau, ʻaia kuo ke foaki kiate au: he naʻa ke ʻofa kiate au ʻoku teʻeki ke fakatupu ʻa māmani.

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.

‌ʻE Tamai Māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi koe ʻe māmani: ka kuo u ʻilo koe, pea kuo ʻilo ʻekinautolu ni naʻa ke fekau au.

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].”

Pea kuo u fakahā kiate kinautolu ho huafa, pea te u [toe ]fakahā [ia]: koeʻuhi ke ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ʻofa ko ia kuo ke ʻofa ʻaki kiate au, pea u nofoʻia ʻakinautolu ʻeau.”
