Yohanes 17

1 Esi Yesu gblɔ nya siawo vɔ la, ewu mo dzi, do gbe ɖa gblɔ be, “Fofo, ɣeyiɣi la de azɔ. Ɖe Viwò la ƒe Ŋutikɔkɔefia ne Viwò hã naɖe wò ŋutikɔkɔe afia.

These things spoke (*k*) Jesus, and (having lifted up *N(k)O*) the eyes of Him to heaven (and *k*) He said; Father, has come the hour; do glorify Your Son, that (also *k*) the Son (of you *k*) may glorify You.

2 Elabena èna ŋusẽe ɖe amegbetɔwo katã dzi le xexea me, be wòana agbe mavɔ ame sia ame si nètsɔ nɛ la. (aiōnios g166)

Even as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, so that all whom You have given to Him, (He may give *NK(o)*) to them life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

3 Ale si ame awɔ akpɔ agbe mavɔ lae nye be wòanya wò Mawu vavã ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ la, eye wòaxɔ Yesu Kristo, ame si nèɖo ɖe xexea me hã dzi ase. (aiōnios g166)

This now is eternal life that they may know You the only true God and whom You have sent Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)

4 Meɖe wò Ŋutikɔkɔe fia le anyigba dzi to dɔ siwo nède asi nam la nuwuwu me.

I myself You glorified on the earth the work (having completed *N(k)O*) that You have given Me that I may do.

5 Azɔ la, Fofo, ɖe wò ŋutikɔkɔe fiam le wò ŋkume to ŋutikɔkɔe si nènam le gbɔwò hafi xexea me dze egɔme la me.

And now do glorify Me You yourself, Father, with Yourself with the glory that I had before the world existing with You.

6 “Megblɔ ame si ƒomevi nènye la na ame siwo nènam le xexea me la. Tɔwòwoe wonye; ètsɔ wo nam, eye wowɔ ɖe wò nyawo dzi.

I revealed Your name to the men whom (you gave *N(k)O*) Me out of the world; Yours they were and to Me and to Me them (You gave *N(k)O*) and the word of You they have kept.

7 Azɔ wonya be nu sia nu si nètsɔ nam la tso gbɔwò,

Now they have known that all things as much as (You have given *NK(o)*) Me of You (are; *N(k)O*)

8 elabena nya si nède asinye la metsɔe na wo, eye woxɔe. Wonyae kɔtɛe be metso gbɔwò, eye woxɔe se hã be wòe dɔm ɖo ɖa.

for the declarations that (You gave *N(k)O*) Me I have given to them; and they themselves received [them] and they knew truly that from You I came forth, and they believed that You yourself Me sent.

9 Medo gbe ɖa ɖe wo ta; nyemele gbe dom ɖa ɖe xexea me ta o. Ame siwo nètsɔ nam la tae medo gbe ɖa ɖo, elabena tɔwòwoe wonye.

I myself concerning them am praying; Not concerning the world do I pray but concerning those whom You have given Me, for Yours they are;

10 Nu siwo katã nye tɔnye la, tɔwòe, eye nu siwo katã nye tɔnye la, tɔwòe, eye woawo mee woɖe nye Ŋutikɔkɔe fia le.

And the [things] of mine all Yours are and Yours Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11 Azɔ mele dzodzo ge le xexea me ava gbɔwò, gake wogale xexea me. Fofo kɔkɔe, kpɔ wo ta to wò ŋusẽ kple ŋkɔ me, ŋkɔ si nènam be woawɔ ɖeka abe ale si nye kpli wò miewɔ ɖekae ene.

And no longer no longer I am in the world, and yet (themselves *N(k)O*) in the world they are, and I myself and I myself to You am coming. Father Holy, do keep them in the name of You (which [name] *N(K)O*) You have given to Me that they may be one even as (also *o*) we ourselves [are].

12 Esi menɔ wo gbɔ la, mekpɔ wo ta, eye mena be wole dedie to ŋkɔ si nènam la me. Wo dometɔ aɖeke mebu o, negbe wo dometɔ si woɖo be woatsrɔ̃ la ko, be ŋɔŋlɔ la nava eme.

When I was with them (in world *K*) I myself was keeping them in the name of You (which [name] *N(K)O*) You have given to Me (And *no*) I guarded [them], and none of them has perished only except the son of destruction, that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13 “Ke azɔ la, megbɔna gbɔwò, gake mele nya siawo gblɔm esi megale xexea me, be nye dzidzɔ blibo la katã nanɔ wo me.

Now however to You I am coming and these things I speak in the world, so that they may have joy of Mine fulfilled within (themselves. *N(k)O*)

14 Megblɔ wò nyawo na wo, eye xexea me lé fu wo, elabena womeganye xexea me tɔwo o, abe ale si nye hã nyemetso xexea me o ene. Nenema ke nye hã nye agbenɔnɔ mesɔ kple xexea me tɔwo ƒe agbenɔnɔ o.

I myself have given to them the word of You, and the world hated them, because not they are of the world even as I myself not am of the world.

15 Fofo, nyemele biabiam be nàɖe wo le xexea me o, ke boŋ nàkpɔ wo ta tso vɔ̃ɖitɔ la ƒe asi me.

Not I do ask that You may take them out of the world but that You may keep them from evil.

16 Wometso xexea me o, abe ale si nye hã nyemetso xexea me o ene.

Of the world not they are even as I myself not am of the world.

17 Kɔ wo ŋu kple nyateƒe la, elabena wò nya la nye nyateƒe.

do sanctify them by the truth (of you; *k*) the word of You truth is.

18 Abe ale si nèdɔm ɖe xexea me ene la, nye hã mele wo dɔm ɖe xexea me.

Even as Me myself You sent into the world, I myself also I myself also sent them into the world.

19 Mekɔ ɖokuinye ŋu ɖe wo ta, bena woakɔ woawo hã ŋu le nyateƒe la me.”

and for them I myself sanctify Myself, that may be also they themselves sanctified in truth.

20 “Nyemele gbe dom ɖa ɖe woawo ɖeɖe ko ta o, ke mele gbe dom ɖa ɖe ame siwo hã ava xɔ dzinye ase to woƒe mawunyagbɔgblɔ me la ta,

Not for these however do I ask only but also for those (are believing *N(k)O*) through the word of them in Me myself;

21 be wo katã woanɔ ɖeka abe ale si wò, Fofo la, nèle menye, eye nye hã mele mewò ene. Na woawo hã nanɔ mía me, be xexea me naxɔe ase be wòe dɔm.

that all one may be even as You yourself, (Father, *NK(o)*) [are] in Me myself and I myself and I myself in You, that also they themselves in Us (one *KO*) may be; that the world (may believe *N(k)O*) that You yourself Me sent.

22 Metsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe si nètsɔ nam la na wo; wo ameawo nenɔ ɖeka le nu sia nu me, be xexea me nanyae be wòe dɔm, eye nèlɔ̃ woawo hã abe ale si nèlɔ̃m ene.

And I myself And I myself the glory which You have given Me I have given to them, so that they may be one even as We ourselves one — (are; *k*)

23 Ne mele wo me, eye wò hã nèle menye la, mi katã miade blibo le ɖekanyenye me, ale be xexea me nanya be wòe dɔm eye nèlɔ̃ woawo hã abe ale si nèlɔ̃m ene.

I myself in them and You in Me myself — that they may be perfected in unity, (and *k*) so that may know the world that You yourself Me sent and You loved them even as Me myself You loved.

24 “Fofo, medi be ame siwo nètsɔ nam la nanɔ gbɔnye be woakpɔ nye ŋutikɔkɔe. Wòe na ŋutikɔkɔe siam, elabena èlɔ̃m vevie hafi xexea me va dzɔ.

(Father, *NK(o)*) (that [one] *N(k)O*) You have given Me I desire that where am I myself they also they also may be with Me, that they may behold glory of Mine that (You have given *N(k)O*) Me because You loved Me before [the] foundation of [the] world.

25 “Fofo dzɔdzɔetɔ, togbɔ be xexea me menya wò o hã la, menya wò, eye nusrɔ̃la siawo hã nya be, wòe dɔm.

(Father *NK(o)*) righteous, although the world You not has known, I myself now You have known, and these have known that You yourself Me sent;

26 Meɖe ame si nènye la fia wo, eye mayi edzi ana woanya wò, bena lɔlɔ̃ si nètsɔ nam la nanɔ woawo hã me, eye nye hã manɔ wo me.”

And I made known to them the name of You and will make [it] known, so that the love with which You loved Me in them may be and I myself and I myself in them.
