John 17
1 When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;
Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’atunula eri eggulu, n’ayogera nti, “Kitange ekiseera kituuse. Gulumiza Omwana wo, n’omwana alyoke akugulumize,
2 even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
nga bwe wamuwa obuyinza ku balina omubiri bonna, bonna be wamuwa alyoke abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
3 And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)
Buno bwe bulamu obutaggwaawo, okutegeera ggwe Katonda omu ow’amazima, n’oyo gwe watuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine to do.
Nkugulumizizza ku nsi, omulimu gwe wantuma okukola, ngumalirizza.
5 And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.
Kale kaakano, Kitange, ngulumiza wamu naawe mu kitiibwa ekyo kye nnali nakyo ng’ensi tennabeerawo.”
6 "I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.
“Njolesezza erinnya lyo eri abantu be wampa okuva mu nsi. Baali ba nsi naye n’obampa. Baali babo n’obampa era bakkirizza ekigambo kyo.
7 Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.
Bategedde nga buli kye nnina kiva gy’oli,
8 For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me.
kubanga buli kye wandagira nkibayigirizza ne bakitegeera era bategeeredde ddala nga nava gy’oli, era ne bakkiriza nga ggwe wantuma.
9 "I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,
Mbasabira. Sisabira nsi, naye nsabira abo be wampa kubanga babo.
10 and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them.
Ng’ebintu byonna bwe biri ebyange ate era nga bibyo, era ne bibyo nga byange, bampeesa ekitiibwa.
11 I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.
Nze sikyali mu nsi, naye bo bali mu nsi, ate nga nzija gy’oli. Kitange Omutukuvu, be wampa bakuume mu linnya lyo, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
12 While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may be fulfilled.
Bwe mbadde nabo, abo be wampa mbakuumye mu linnya lyo, ne watabaawo azikirira, okuggyako omwana ow’okubula, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire.”
13 "But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.
“Nange kaakano nzija gy’oli, era mbabuulidde ebintu bino nabo babe n’essanyu lyange nga lituukiridde mu bo.
14 I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
Mbawadde ekigambo kyo, ensi n’ebakyawa kubanga si ba nsi nga Nze bwe siri wa nsi.
15 I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.
Sikusaba kubaggya mu nsi, naye nkusaba obakuume eri omubi.
16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
Si ba nsi nga nange bwe siri wa nsi.
17 Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.
Obatukuze mu mazima; ekigambo kyo ge mazima.
18 Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;
Nga bwe wantuma mu nsi, nange bwe ntyo mbatuma mu nsi.
19 and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.
Era neetukuza ku lwabwe nabo balyoke batukuzibwe mu mazima.”
20 "Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;
“Sisabira bano bokka naye nsabira n’abo abanzikiriza olw’ekigambo kyabwe,
21 that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.
bonna babeere bumu, nga ggwe Kitange bw’oli mu Nze, nange nga ndi mu ggwe, nabo babeerenga mu ffe, ensi eryoke ekkirize nga ggwe wantuma.
22 And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one:
Mbawadde ekitiibwa kye wampa, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
23 I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me.
Nze nga ndi mu bo, era naawe ng’oli mu Nze balyoke bafuukire ddala omuntu omu. Ensi eryoke etegeere nga ggwe wantuma era nti obaagala nga bw’onjagala.”
24 "Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.
“Kitange, bano be wampa njagala mbeere nabo we ndi balyoke bategeere ekitiibwa kyange kye wampa kubanga wanjagala, ng’ensi tennatondebwa.
25 And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send me.
“Ayi Kitange Omutukuvu, ensi teyakumanya, kyokka Nze nkumanyi era n’abayigirizwa bano bamanyi nga ggwe wantuma.
26 And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
Era mbayigirizza ne bamanya erinnya lyo, era nzija kwongera okubamanyisa okwagala kwo kw’onjagala, kulyoke kubeerenga mu bo, era nange mbeere mu bo.”
