< John 17 >
1 After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes heaven-wards, and said: “Father, the hour has come; honour thy Son, that thy Son may honour thee;
Ταύτα ελάλησεν ο Ιησούς, και ύψωσε τους οφθαλμούς αυτού εις τον ουρανόν και είπε· Πάτερ, ήλθεν η ώρα· δόξασον τον Υιόν σου, διά να σε δοξάση και ο Υιός σου,
2 even as thou gavest him power over all mankind, that he should give Immortal Life to all those whom thou has given him. (aiōnios )
καθώς έδωκας εις αυτόν εξουσίαν πάσης σαρκός, διά να δώση ζωήν αιώνιον εις πάντας όσους έδωκας εις αυτόν. (aiōnios )
3 And the Immortal Life is this — to know thee the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent as thy Messenger. (aiōnios )
Αύτη δε είναι η αιώνιος ζωή, το να γνωρίζωσι σε τον μόνον αληθινόν Θεόν και τον οποίον απέστειλας Ιησούν Χριστόν. (aiōnios )
4 I have honoured thee on earth by completing the work which thou has given me to do;
Εγώ σε εδόξασα επί της γης, το έργον ετελείωσα, το οποίον μοι έδωκας διά να κάμω·
5 and now do thou honour me, Father, at thy own side, with the honour which I had at thy side before the world began.
και τώρα δόξασόν με συ, Πάτερ, πλησίον σου με την δόξαν, την οποίαν είχον παρά σοι πριν γείνη ο κόσμος.
6 I have revealed thee to those whom thou gavest me from the world; they were thy own, and thou gavest them to me; and they have laid thy Message to heart.
Εφανέρωσα το όνομά σου εις τους ανθρώπους, τους οποίους μοι έδωκας εκ του κόσμου. Ιδικοί σου ήσαν και εις εμέ έδωκας αυτούς, και τον λόγον σου εφύλαξαν.
7 They recognise now that everything that thou gavest me was from thee;
Τώρα εγνώρισαν ότι πάντα όσα μοι έδωκας παρά σου είναι·
8 for I have given them the teaching which thou gavest me, and they received it, and clearly understood that I came from thee, and they believed that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.
διότι τους λόγους, τους οποίους μοι έδωκας, έδωκα εις αυτούς, και αυτοί εδέχθησαν και εγνώρισαν αληθώς ότι παρά σου εξήλθον, και επίστευσαν ότι συ με απέστειλας.
9 I intercede for them; I am not interceding for the world, but for those whom thou has given me, for they are thy own —
Εγώ περί αυτών παρακαλώ· δεν παρακαλώ περί του κόσμου, αλλά περί εκείνων, τους οποίους μοι έδωκας, διότι ιδικοί σου είναι.
10 All that is mine is thine, and all that is thine is mine — and I am honoured in them.
Και τα εμά πάντα σα είναι και τα σα εμά, και εδοξάσθην εν αυτοίς.
11 Now I am to be in this world no longer, but they are still to be in the world, and I am to come to thee. Holy Father, keep them by that revelation of thy Name which thou has given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Και δεν είμαι πλέον εν τω κόσμω, αλλ' ούτοι είναι εν τω κόσμω, και εγώ έρχομαι προς σε. Πάτερ άγιε, φύλαξον αυτούς εν τω ονόματί σου, τους οποίους μοι έδωκας, διά να ήναι εν καθώς ημείς.
12 Whilst I was with them, I kept them by that revelation, and I have guarded them; and not one of them has been lost, except that lost soul — in fulfilment of Scripture.
Ότε ήμην μετ' αυτών εν τω κόσμω, εγώ εφύλαττον αυτούς εν τω ονόματί σου· εκείνους τους οποίους μοι έδωκας εφύλαξα, και ουδείς εξ αυτών απωλέσθη ειμή ο υιός της απωλείας, διά να πληρωθή η γραφή.
13 But now I am to come to thee; and I am speaking thus, while still in the world, that they may have my own joy, in all its fullness, in their hearts.
Τώρα δε έρχομαι προς σε, και ταύτα λαλώ εν τω κόσμω διά να έχωσι την χαράν μου πλήρη εν εαυτοίς.
14 I have given them thy Message; and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.
Εγώ έδωκα εις αυτούς τον λόγον σου, και ο κόσμος εμίσησεν αυτούς, διότι δεν είναι εκ του κόσμου, καθώς εγώ δεν είμαι εκ του κόσμου.
15 I do not ask thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from Evil.
Δεν παρακαλώ να σηκώσης αυτούς εκ του κόσμου, αλλά να φυλάξης αυτούς εκ του πονηρού.
16 They do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.
Εκ του κόσμου δεν είναι, καθώς εγώ δεν είμαι εκ του κόσμου.
17 Consecrate them by the Truth; thy Message is Truth.
Αγίασον αυτούς εν τη αληθεία σου· ο λόγος ο ιδικός σου είναι αλήθεια.
18 Just as thou has sent me as thy Messenger to the world, so I send them as my Messengers to the world.
Καθώς εμέ απέστειλας εις τον κόσμον, και εγώ απέστειλα αυτούς εις τον κόσμον·
19 And it is for their sakes that I am consecrating myself, so that they also may be truly consecrated.
και υπέρ αυτών εγώ αγιάζω εμαυτόν, διά να ήναι και αυτοί ηγιασμένοι εν τη αληθεία.
20 But it is not only for them that I am interceding, but also for those who believe in me through their Message,
Και δεν παρακαλώ μόνον περί τούτων, αλλά και περί των πιστευσόντων εις εμέ διά του λόγου αυτών·
21 that they all may be one — that as thou, Father, art in union with us — and so the world may believe that thou hast sent me as thy Messenger.
διά να ήναι πάντες εν, καθώς συ, Πάτερ, είσαι εν εμοί και εγώ εν σοι, να ήναι και αυτοί εν ημίν εν, διά να πιστεύση ο κόσμος ότι συ με απέστειλας.
22 I have given them the honour which thou has given me, that they may be one as we are one —
Και εγώ την δόξαν την οποίαν μοι έδωκας έδωκα εις αυτούς, διά να ήναι εν καθώς ημείς είμεθα εν,
23 I in union with them and thou with me — that so they may be perfected in their union, and thus the world may know that thou hast sent me as thy Messenger, and that thou has loved them as thou hast loved me.
εγώ εν αυτοίς και συ εν εμοί, διά να ήναι τετελειωμένοι εις εν, και να γνωρίζη ο κόσμος ότι συ με απέστειλας και ηγάπησας αυτούς καθώς εμέ ηγάπησας.
24 Father, my desire for all those whom thou has given me is that they may be with me where I am, so that they may see the honour which thou has given me; for thou didst love me before the beginning of the world.
Πάτερ, εκείνους τους οποίους μοι έδωκας, θέλω, όπου είμαι εγώ, να ήναι και εκείνοι μετ' εμού, διά να θεωρώσι την δόξαν μου, την οποίαν μοι έδωκας, διότι με ηγάπησας προ καταβολής κόσμου.
25 O righteous Father, though the world did not know thee, I knew thee; and these men knew that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.
Πάτερ δίκαιε, και ο κόσμος δεν σε εγνώρισεν, εγώ δε σε εγνώρισα, και ούτοι εγνώρισαν ότι συ με απέστειλας.
26 I have made thee known to them, and will do so still; that the love that thou has had for me may be in their hearts, and that I may be in them also.”
Και εφανέρωσα εις αυτούς το όνομά σου και θέλω φανερώσει, διά να ήναι η αγάπη, με την οποίαν με ηγάπησας, εν αυτοίς, και εγώ εν αυτοίς.
