Johani 17

1 Jesu hamana ku wamba izi zintu, ncha katwila menso akwe kwi wulu mi na ti, “Itayo, inako chi yasika, ulumbeke Mwanako njo kuti Mwana naye aku lumbeke-

These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 sina kamo ba muheli buyendisi he wulu lya zi bumbantu zonse njo kuti awole kuha buhalo busamani kwa zumwi ni zumwi yo ba muhi. (aiōnios g166)

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Ubu buhalo busamani: kuti ba kwizi, Ireeza yenke we niti, mi iye yo ba tumi, Jesu Kerisite. (aiōnios g166)

And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 Ni baku tembi hansi. Ni ba mani mutendo oba nihi kuti ni tende.

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

5 Linu, Tayo, ni tembe hamwina nawe cha ku tembwa ku ni bena nawe pili inkanda ni seni ku bumbwa.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

6 Ni ba sinululi izina lya ko ku bantu bo banihi kuzwilila mwi nkanda. I bali bako, mi ni waba ni ha, mi baba kuteki inzwi lya ko.

I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest to me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

7 Hanu chi bezi kuti zintu zonse zo banihi zi zwa kwako,

Now they have known that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee.

8 mukuti ni babahi ma nzwi anse oba nihi. Ba ba atambuli mi cho buniti ba be zibi kuti nibazwi kwako, mi baba zumini kuti ubani tumi.

For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 Ni ba lapelela. Kani lapeleli inkanda kono ni lapelela abo boba nihi, mukuti nji bako.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine.

10 Chonse chili cha ngu nji chako, mi chako nji changu, mi ni tembetwe mu bali.

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

11 Kani si mwina mwi inkanda, kono aba bantu bena mwi inkanda, mi ni keza kwako. I tayo yo Jolola, ba bike mwi zina lyako abo boba nihi njikuti babe ba mwina, sina hatuli umwina.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as we are.

12 Hani ba sina nabo, ni baba bikite mwi zina lyako, lyo banihi. Ni baba silelezi, mi nanta yenke wabo ya ba sinyehi, kwanda ya mwana we nsinyeho, njo kuti mañolo e zuzilizwe.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest to me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13 Hanu ni keza kwako, kono ni wamba izi zintu mwi inkanda nji kuti babe ni ku saanga kwangu kwi zuzilizwe mu bali.

And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 Ni ba bahi inzwi lya ko, mi inkanda ibaba toyi kakuti kahena be nkanda, sina hani sali we nkanda.

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

15 Kani kukumbili kuti uba zwise mwi inkanda kono uba wungule ku mubilala.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

16 Kahena be inkanda, sina hani sali we inkanda.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 Ba kungule kumbali cho buniti. Inzwi lyako buniti.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18 Sina mo bani tumini mwi inkanda, linu nibaba tumi mwi inkanda.

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

19 Che baka lyabo ni bali kunguli kumbali, mukuti abo beene nabo ba kungwilwe kumbali mubu niti.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth.

20 Kani lapeli bulyo chaba, kono nabo bonse bani zumine kache nzwi lyabo.

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word;

21 Njo kuti bonse babe bamwina, sina iwe, Tayo, mwina mwa ngu, mi nina mwenu. Ni lapela kuti nabo babe mwetu njo kuti inkanda mwi zumine kuti ubani tumi.

That they all may be one; as thou, 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.

22 Kutembwa kuna kobanihi, ni ba kubahi, njo kuti babe ba mwina, sina hatuli bamwina.

And the glory which thou gavest to me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I me mu baali, mi iwe mwangu. Njo kuti be zuzilizwe mu mwina, njo kuti inkanda izibe kuti uba ni tumi, mi uba ba suni, sina mo ba ni sunini.

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.

24 Tayo, Ni saka kuti abo bo banihi nabo babe name kwete nibe njo kuti ba bone ku tembwa kwangu, ko banihi. Mukuti ubani suni kuzwililila ku matangilo a ku bumbwa kwe inkanda.

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given to me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given to me: for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

25 Itayo yo lukiti, inkanda kena iba kwizi, kono ni kwizi: mi aba bezi kuti ubani tumi.

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26 Ni be zibisi izina lya ko kubali, mi ni sili izibisa njo kuti ke lato lyo bani saki kalyo libe mubali, mi munibe mubali.”

And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it: that the love which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
