John 17
1 Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
Yesu atatha kunena izi, anayangʼana kumwamba ndipo anapemphera: “Atate, nthawi yafika. Lemekezani Mwana wanu, kuti Mwana wanuyo akulemekezeni Inu.
2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. (aiōnios g166)
Pakuti Inu munamupatsa Iye ulamuliro pa anthu onse kuti apereke moyo wosatha kwa onse amene mwamupatsa. (aiōnios g166)
3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Tsono moyo wosathawo ndi uwu: Iwo akudziweni Inu, Mulungu yekhayo woona, ndi Yesu Khristu, amene Inu mwamutuma. (aiōnios g166)
4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
Ine ndabweretsa ulemerero wanu pa dziko pamene ndamaliza ntchito imene munandipatsa kuti ndi igwire.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
Ndipo tsopano, Atate, ndilemekezeni Ine pamaso panu ndi ulemerero uja umene ndinali nawo kwa Inu dziko lapansi lisanayambe.
6 “I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
“Ine ndawadziwitsa za Inu anthu amene munandipatsa mʼdziko lapansi. Iwo anali anu. Inu munawapereka kwa Ine ndipo amvera mawu anu.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
Tsopano akudziwa kuti zonse zimene munandipatsa nʼzochokera kwa Inu.
8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
Pakuti Ine ndiwapatsa mawu amene Inu munandipatsa ndipo awalandira. Iwo akudziwa ndithu kuti Ine ndinachokera kwa Inu, ndipo akukhulupirira kuti Inu ndiye amene munandituma Ine.
9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
Ine ndikuwapempherera. Ine sindikupempherera dziko lapansi, koma anthu amene Inu mwandipatsa, pakuti ndi anu.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
Zonse zimene Ine ndili nazo ndi zanu, ndipo zonse zimene Inu muli nazo ndi zanga. Choncho Ine ndalemekezedwa mwa iwowo.
11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
Ine sindikukhalanso mʼdziko lapansi nthawi yayitali, koma iwo akanali mʼdziko lapansi. Ine ndikubwera kwa Inu. Atate Woyera, atetezeni ndi mphamvu za dzina lanu. Dzina limene munandipatsa Ine, kuti iwo akhale amodzi monga Ife tili amodzi.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
Pamene ndinali nawo, ndinawateteza ndi kuwasunga mosamala mʼdzina limene munandipatsa. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anatayika kupatula yekhayo amene anayenera kuwonongeka kuti malemba akwaniritsidwe.
13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
“Tsopano ndikubwera kwa Inu. Ndikunena izi ndikanali mʼdziko lapansi, kuti iwo akhale ndi muyeso wodzaza wachimwemwe changa mʼkati mwawo.
14 I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Ine ndawapatsa mawu anu ndipo dziko lapansi likudana nawo, pakuti sali a dziko lapansi monga Ine sindilinso wa dziko lapansi.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
Sindikupempha kuti muwachotse mʼdziko lapansi koma kuti muwateteze kwa woyipayo.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Iwo si a dziko lapansi, monga Ine sindilinso wa dziko lapansi.
17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
Ayeretseni ndi choonadi chanu. Mawu anu ndiye choonadi.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
Monga Inu munandituma Ine mʼdziko lapansi, Inenso ndikuwatuma mʼdziko lapansi.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Chifukwa cha iwowa Ine ndikudziyeretsa, kuti iwo ayeretsedwenso kwenikweni.
20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
“Ine sindikupempherera iwo okhawa, komanso amene adzandikhulupirira chifukwa cha uthenga wawo.
21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
Ndikuwapempherera kuti onsewa akhale amodzi. Monga Inu Atate muli mwa Ine ndi Ine mwa Inu, iwonso akhale mwa Ife kuti dziko lapansi likhulupirire kuti Inu munandituma Ine.
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
Ine ndawapatsa ulemerero umene munandipatsa Ine, kuti akhale amodzi monga Ife tili amodzi.
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.
Ine ndikhale mwa iwo ndipo Inu mwa Ine kuti umodzi wawo ukhale wangwiro. Choncho dziko lapansi lidzadziwa kuti Inu munandituma Ine ndipo Inu mwawakonda iwowa monga momwe Inu munandikondera Ine.
24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
“Atate, Ine ndikufuna kuti anthu amene mwandipatsa Ine adzakhale ndi Ine kumene kuli Ine, ndi kuona ulemerero wanga, ulemerero umene munandipatsa chifukwa Inu munandikonda dziko lapansi lisanalengedwe.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
“Atate wolungama, ngakhale kuti dziko lapansi silikudziwani Inu, Ine ndimakudziwani, ndipo iwo amadziwa kuti Inu munandituma Ine.
26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
Ine ndawadziwitsa dzina lanu, ndipo ndidzapitiriza kuwadziwitsa dzina lanulo, kuti chikondi chomwe munandikonda nacho chikhale mwa iwo, ndipo Ine mwa iwo.”
