John 17
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, He lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, ---"Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Thee:
Yesu aliyasema mambo haya; kisha akainua macho yake kuelelea mbinguni na akasema, “Baba, saa imewadia; mtukuze mwanao ili na mwana naye akutukuze wewe -
2 as Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that as to all which Thou hast given Him, He might give them eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
kama vile ulivyompatia mamlaka juu ya vyote vyenye mwili ili awape uzima wa milele wale wote uliompatia. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this is life eternal, to know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)
Huu ndio uzima wa milele: kwamba wakujue wewe, Mungu wa kweli na wa pekee, na yeye uliyemtuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified Thee on earth, I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do:
Nilikutukuza hapa duniani, na kuikamilisha kazi uliyonipa niifanye.
5 and now, O Father, glorify Thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was made.
Sasa, Baba, unitukuze mimi pamoja na wewe mwenyewe kwa utukufu ule niliokuwa nao pamoja na wewe kabla ya ulimwengu kuumbwa.
6 I have manifested thy name to the men, whom Thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word.
Nililifunua jina lako kwa watu ulionipa hapa duniani. Walikuwa watu wako; lakini ulinikabidhi mimi. nao wamelishika neno lako.
7 They now know that all things whatsoever Thou hast given me, are indeed from Thee;
Sasa wanajua kuwa kila kitu ulichonipa mimi kinatoka kwako,
8 for the instructions, which Thou gavest me, I have given to them: and they have received them, and have known of a truth that I came from Thee, and have believed that thou hast sent me.
kwa maneno yale uliyonipatia mimi— Nimekwisha wapatia wao maneno hayo. Waliyapokea na kweli wakajua ya kuwa mimi nimetoka kwako, na wakaamini kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom Thou hast given me, for they are thine.
Ninawaombea wao. Siuombei ulimwaengu bali wale ulionipa kwa kuwa wao ni wako.
10 And all my concerns are thine, and thine are mine: and I am therefore glorified in them.
Vitu vyote ambavyo ni vyangu ni vyako, na vile ulivyonavyo wewe ni vyangu; nami ninatukuzwa katika hivyo.
11 And as I am to be no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to Thee, Holy Father, keep by thy name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Mimi simo tena ulimwenguni, bali wao wamo ulimwenguni, nami sasa naja kwako. Baba Mtakatifu, watunze kwa jina lako lile ulilonipa sisi ili wao nao wawe na umoja, kama vile mimi na wewe tulivyo na umoja.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; I have preserved those whom Thou gavest me, and none of them is lost; except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Nilipokuwa nao, niliwalinda kwa jina ulilonipa; Niliwalinda, na hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyepotea isipokuwa mwana wa upotevu, ili kwamba maandiko yatimie.
13 But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.
Sasa ninakuja kwako; lakini ninasema haya ulimwenguni ili kwamba furaha yangu ikamilishwe ndani yao wenyewe.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Nimewapa neno lako; ulimwengu imewachukia kwa sababu wao si wa ulimwengu, kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwengu
15 I do not pray that Thou wouldest take them out of the world, but that thou wouldest keep them from the evil.
Siwaombei kwamba uwatoe ulimwenguni bali uwalinde na yule mwovu.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Wao si wa dunia kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwenguni.
17 Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth.
Uwaweke wakfu kwako mwenyewe katika Kweli; neno lako ndiyo kweli.
18 As Thou hast sent me into the world, so have I also sent them into the world.
Ulinituma ulimwenguni, nami nimewatuma ulimwenguni.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth.
Kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe ninajitoa kwako ili kwamba na wao wajitoe kwako kwa ile kweli.
20 Nor do I pray for these only, but for them also that shall believe on me through their word.
Si hawa tu ninaowaombea, bali na wale watakaoamini kupitia neno lao
21 That they all may be one, as Thou, O Father, art in me, and I in Thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
ili kwamba wao nao wawe na umoja, kama vila wewe Baba, ulivyo ndani yangu nami ndani yako. Nawaombea ili kwamba wao pia waweze kuwa ndani yetu ili ulimwengu uweze kuamini kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them: that they may be one, even as we are one.
Utukufu ule ulionipa mimi - nimewapa wao, ili kwamba waweze kuwa na umoja, kama vile sisi tulivyo umoja -
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved me.
Mimi ndani yao, nawe ndani yangu, ili waweze kukamilishwa katika umoja; ili ulimwengu ujue kuwa hakika wewe ndiye uliyenituma, na kuwapenda, kama vile wewe ulivyonipenda, mimi.
24 Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for Thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Baba, kile ulichonipa mimi - Natamani kwamba wao pia waweze kuwa pamoja nami mahali nilipo ili waweze kuona utukufu wangu, ule ulionipa: kwa kuwa wewe ulinipenda mimi kabla ya kuumbwa kwa misingi ya ulimwengu.
25 O righteous Father, the world indeed hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent me.
Baba mwenye haki, ulimwengu haukukujua wewe, lakini mimi nakujua wewe; na wanajua kwamba ulinituma.
26 And I have made known to them thy name, and will farther make it known; that the love wherewith Thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I also in them.
Nililifanya jina lako lijulikane kwao, na nitalifanya lijulikane ili kwamba lile pendo ambalo kwalo ulinipenda mimi liweze kuwa ndani yao, na mimi niweze kuwa ndani yao.”
