< John 17 >

1 These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said — 'Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,
Jesu wakataura zvinhu izvi, ndokusimudzira meso ake kudenga, akati: Baba, awa rasvika; kudzai Mwanakomana wenyu, kuti Mwanakomana wenyuwo akukudzei;
2 according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that — all that Thou hast given to him — he may give to them life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
sezvo makamupa simba pamusoro penyama yese, kuti vese vamakamupa, avape upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send — Jesus Christ; (aiōnios g166)
Uye uhu upenyu husingaperi, kuti vakuzivei imwi Mwari wega wechokwadi, naJesu Kristu wamakatuma. (aiōnios g166)
4 I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do [it].
Ini ndakakukudzai panyika; ndapedza basa ramakandipa kuti ndiite;
5 'And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;
uye ikozvino ndikudzei, imwi Baba, kwamuri pachenyu nerukudzo rwandaiva narwo ndinemwi nyika isati yavapo.
6 I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;
Ndaratidza zita renyu kuvanhu vamakandipa kubva munyika; vakange vari venyu, uye makavapa ini; uye vakachengeta shoko renyu.
7 now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,
Ikozvino voziva kuti zvese-zvese zvamakandipa, zvinobva kwamuri;
8 because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.
nokuti ndakapa kwavari mashoko amakandipa; uye ivo vakagamuchira, vakaziva zvirokwazvo kuti ndakabuda kwamuri, uye vakatenda kuti imwi makandituma.
9 'I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,
Ini ndinokumbirira ivo; handikumbiriri nyika, asi avo vamakandipa, nokuti ndevenyu;
10 and all mine are Thine, and Thine [are] mine, and I have been glorified in them;
uye zvese zvangu ndezvenyu, nezvenyu ndezvangu; uye ndakakudzwa mavari.
11 and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;
Uye handichisiri munyika, asi ava vari munyika; uye ini ndinouya kwamuri. Baba vatsvene, vachengetei muzita renyu vamakandipa, kuti vave vamwe, sesu.
12 when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.
Pandaiva navo munyika, ini ndaivachengeta muzita renyu; avo vamakandipa, ndikachengetedza, uye hapana umwe wavo wakarasika, kunze kwemwanakomana wekuraswa, kuti rugwaro rwuzadziswe.
13 'And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;
Asi ikozvino ndinouya kwamuri, uye zvinhu izvi ndinotaura munyika, kuti vave nemufaro wangu wakazadziswa mavari.
14 I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;
Ini ndakavapa shoko renyu, uye nyika yakavavenga, nokuti havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.
15 I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.
Handikumbiri kuti muvabvise panyika, asi kuti muvachengete pane wakaipa.
16 'Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not;
Havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.
17 sanctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth;
Vaitei vatsvene muchokwadi chenyu; shoko renyu ichokwadi.
18 as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world;
Sezvamakandituma munyika, neniwo ndavatuma munyika.
19 and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.
Uye ini ndinozviita mutsvene nekuda kwavo, kuti ivowo vaitwe vatsvene muchokwadi.
20 'And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;
Uye handikumbiriri ava chete, asi naivo vachatenda kwandiri neshoko ravo;
21 that they all may be one, as Thou Father [art] in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.
kuti vese vave umwe; semwi, Baba, mandiri, neni mamuri; kuti ivowo vave umwe matiri; kuti nyika itende kuti imwi makandituma.
22 'And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one as we are one;
Nekubwinya kwamakandipa, ini ndakavapa, kuti vave umwe, sesu tiri umwe.
23 I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.
Ini mavari, nemwi mandiri, kuti vapedzeredzwe vave umwe; uye kuti nyika izive kuti imwi makandituma, uye makavada, sezvamakandida.
24 'Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.
Baba, ndinoda kuti ivowo vamakandipa, vave neni apo pandiri ini, kuti vaone kubwinya kwangu, kwamakandipa, nokuti makandida mavambo enyika asati avapo.
25 'Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,
Baba vakarurama, nenyika haina kukuzivai, asi ini ndakakuzivai, neava vakaziva kuti imwi makandituma;
26 and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'
uye ndakazivisa kwavari zita renyu, uye ndicharizivisa, kuti rudo rwamakandida narwo ruve mavari, neni mavari.
