Κατα Ιωαννην 17

1 Ταύτα ελάλησεν ο Ιησούς, και ύψωσε τους οφθαλμούς αυτού εις τον ουρανόν και είπε· Πάτερ, ήλθεν η ώρα· δόξασον τον Υιόν σου, διά να σε δοξάση και ο Υιός σου,

After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes heavenwards, and said: ‘Father, the hour has come; honour your Son, so that your Son may honour you;

2 καθώς έδωκας εις αυτόν εξουσίαν πάσης σαρκός, διά να δώση ζωήν αιώνιον εις πάντας όσους έδωκας εις αυτόν. (aiōnios g166)

even as you gave him power over all humanity, so that he should give eternal life to everyone you have given him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Αύτη δε είναι η αιώνιος ζωή, το να γνωρίζωσι σε τον μόνον αληθινόν Θεόν και τον οποίον απέστειλας Ιησούν Χριστόν. (aiōnios g166)

And the eternal life is this – to know you the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent as your messenger. (aiōnios g166)

4 Εγώ σε εδόξασα επί της γης, το έργον ετελείωσα, το οποίον μοι έδωκας διά να κάμω·

I have honoured you on earth by completing the work which you have given me to do;

5 και τώρα δόξασόν με συ, Πάτερ, πλησίον σου με την δόξαν, την οποίαν είχον παρά σοι πριν γείνη ο κόσμος.

and now do you honour me, Father, at your own side, with the honour which I had at your side before the world began.

6 Εφανέρωσα το όνομά σου εις τους ανθρώπους, τους οποίους μοι έδωκας εκ του κόσμου. Ιδικοί σου ήσαν και εις εμέ έδωκας αυτούς, και τον λόγον σου εφύλαξαν.

I have revealed you to those whom you gave me from the world; they were your own, and you gave them to me; and they have laid your message to heart.

7 Τώρα εγνώρισαν ότι πάντα όσα μοι έδωκας παρά σου είναι·

They recognise now that everything that you gave me was from you;

8 διότι τους λόγους, τους οποίους μοι έδωκας, έδωκα εις αυτούς, και αυτοί εδέχθησαν και εγνώρισαν αληθώς ότι παρά σου εξήλθον, και επίστευσαν ότι συ με απέστειλας.

for I have given them the teaching which you gave me, and they received it, and clearly understood that I came from you, and they believed that you have sent me as your messenger.

9 Εγώ περί αυτών παρακαλώ· δεν παρακαλώ περί του κόσμου, αλλά περί εκείνων, τους οποίους μοι έδωκας, διότι ιδικοί σου είναι.

I intercede for them; I am not interceding for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are your own –

10 Και τα εμά πάντα σα είναι και τα σα εμά, και εδοξάσθην εν αυτοίς.

All that is mine is yours, and all that is yours is mine – and I am honoured in them.

11 Και δεν είμαι πλέον εν τω κόσμω, αλλ' ούτοι είναι εν τω κόσμω, και εγώ έρχομαι προς σε. Πάτερ άγιε, φύλαξον αυτούς εν τω ονόματί σου, τους οποίους μοι έδωκας, διά να ήναι εν καθώς ημείς.

Now I am to be in this world no longer, but they are still to be in the world, and I am to come to you. Holy Father, keep them by that revelation of your name which you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are.

12 Ότε ήμην μετ' αυτών εν τω κόσμω, εγώ εφύλαττον αυτούς εν τω ονόματί σου· εκείνους τους οποίους μοι έδωκας εφύλαξα, και ουδείς εξ αυτών απωλέσθη ειμή ο υιός της απωλείας, διά να πληρωθή η γραφή.

While I was with them, I kept them by that revelation, and I have guarded them; and not one of them has been lost, except that lost soul – in fulfilment of scripture.

13 Τώρα δε έρχομαι προς σε, και ταύτα λαλώ εν τω κόσμω διά να έχωσι την χαράν μου πλήρη εν εαυτοίς.

But now I am to come to you; and I am speaking like this, while still in the world, so that they may have my own joy, in all its fullness, in their hearts.

14 Εγώ έδωκα εις αυτούς τον λόγον σου, και ο κόσμος εμίσησεν αυτούς, διότι δεν είναι εκ του κόσμου, καθώς εγώ δεν είμαι εκ του κόσμου.

I have given them your message; and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.

15 Δεν παρακαλώ να σηκώσης αυτούς εκ του κόσμου, αλλά να φυλάξης αυτούς εκ του πονηρού.

I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.

16 Εκ του κόσμου δεν είναι, καθώς εγώ δεν είμαι εκ του κόσμου.

They do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.

17 Αγίασον αυτούς εν τη αληθεία σου· ο λόγος ο ιδικός σου είναι αλήθεια.

Consecrate them by the truth; your message is truth.

18 Καθώς εμέ απέστειλας εις τον κόσμον, και εγώ απέστειλα αυτούς εις τον κόσμον·

Just as you have sent me as your messenger to the world, so I send them as my messengers to the world.

19 και υπέρ αυτών εγώ αγιάζω εμαυτόν, διά να ήναι και αυτοί ηγιασμένοι εν τη αληθεία.

And it is for their sakes that I am consecrating myself, so that they also may be truly consecrated.

20 Και δεν παρακαλώ μόνον περί τούτων, αλλά και περί των πιστευσόντων εις εμέ διά του λόγου αυτών·

But it is not only for them that I am interceding, but also for those who believe in me through their message,

21 διά να ήναι πάντες εν, καθώς συ, Πάτερ, είσαι εν εμοί και εγώ εν σοι, να ήναι και αυτοί εν ημίν εν, διά να πιστεύση ο κόσμος ότι συ με απέστειλας.

that they all may be one – that as you, Father, are in union with us – and so the world may believe that you have sent me as your messenger.

22 Και εγώ την δόξαν την οποίαν μοι έδωκας έδωκα εις αυτούς, διά να ήναι εν καθώς ημείς είμεθα εν,

I have given them the honour which you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one –

23 εγώ εν αυτοίς και συ εν εμοί, διά να ήναι τετελειωμένοι εις εν, και να γνωρίζη ο κόσμος ότι συ με απέστειλας και ηγάπησας αυτούς καθώς εμέ ηγάπησας.

I in union with them and you with me – so that they may be perfected in their union, and so that the world may know that you have sent me as your messenger, and that you have loved them as you have loved me.

24 Πάτερ, εκείνους τους οποίους μοι έδωκας, θέλω, όπου είμαι εγώ, να ήναι και εκείνοι μετ' εμού, διά να θεωρώσι την δόξαν μου, την οποίαν μοι έδωκας, διότι με ηγάπησας προ καταβολής κόσμου.

Father, my desire for all those whom you have given me is that they may be with me where I am, so that they may see the honour which you have given me; for you did love me before the beginning of the world.

25 Πάτερ δίκαιε, και ο κόσμος δεν σε εγνώρισεν, εγώ δε σε εγνώρισα, και ούτοι εγνώρισαν ότι συ με απέστειλας.

Righteous Father, though the world did not know you, I knew you; and these people knew that you have sent me as your messenger.

26 Και εφανέρωσα εις αυτούς το όνομά σου και θέλω φανερώσει, διά να ήναι η αγάπη, με την οποίαν με ηγάπησας, εν αυτοίς, και εγώ εν αυτοίς.

I have made you known to them, and will do so still; that the love that you have had for me may be in their hearts, and that I may be in them also.’
