< Iohannem 17 >
1 Hæc locutus est Jesus: et sublevatis oculis in cælum, dixit: Pater, venit hora: clarifica Filium tuum, ut Filius tuus clarificet te:
When he had thus spoken, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said. "Father, the hour is come. Glorify the Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;
2 sicut dedisti ei potestatem omnis carnis, ut omne, quod dedisti ei, det eis vitam æternam. (aiōnios )
"since thou hast given him authority over all mankind, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios )
3 Hæc est autem vita æterna: ut cognoscant te, solum Deum verum, et quem misisti Jesum Christum. (aiōnios )
"And this is eternal life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios )
4 Ego te clarificavi super terram: opus consummavi, quod dedisti mihi ut faciam:
"I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 et nunc clarifica me tu, Pater, apud temetipsum, claritate quam habui, priusquam mundus esset, apud te.
"And now, O Father, glorify thou me with own self, with the glory I had with thee before the world began.
6 Manifestavi nomen tuum hominibus, quos dedisti mihi de mundo: tui erant, et mihi eos dedisti: et sermonem tuum servaverunt.
"I have made known 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.
7 Nunc cognoverunt quia omnia quæ dedisti mihi, abs te sunt:
"They know now that whatever thou hast given me was from thee;
8 quia verba quæ dedisti mihi, dedi eis: et ipsi acceperunt, et cognoverunt vere quia a te exivi, et crediderunt quia tu me misisti.
"for I have given them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 Ego pro eis rogo; non pro mundo rogo, sed pro his quos dedisti mihi: quia tui sunt:
"I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine,
10 et mea omnia tua sunt, et tua mea sunt: et clarificatus sum in eis.
"and all thine are mine, and mine are thine; and I am glorified in them.
11 Et jam non sum in mundo, et hi in mundo sunt, et ego ad te venio. Pater sancte, serva eos in nomine tuo, quos dedisti mihi: ut sint unum, sicut et nos.
12 Cum essem cum eis, ego servabam eos in nomine tuo. Quos dedisti mihi, custodivi: et nemo ex eis periit, nisi filius perditionis, ut Scriptura impleatur.
13 Nunc autem ad te venio: et hæc loquor in mundo, ut habeant gaudium meum impletum in semetipsis.
14 Ego dedi eis sermonem tuum, et mundus eos odio habuit, quia non sunt de mundo, sicut et ego non sum de mundo.
15 Non rogo ut tollas eos de mundo, sed ut serves eos a malo.
16 De mundo non sunt, sicut et ego non sum de mundo.
17 Sanctifica eos in veritate. Sermo tuus veritas est.
18 Sicut tu me misisti in mundum, et ego misi eos in mundum:
"As thou hast sent me into the world, even so I also have sent them into the world.
19 et pro eis ego sanctifico meipsum: ut sint et ipsi sanctificati in veritate.
"And for their sakes I dedicate myself, that they also may be thoroughly dedicated in the truth.
20 Non pro eis autem rogo tantum, sed et pro eis qui credituri sunt per verbum eorum in me:
"Nor do I pray for them alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word,
21 ut omnes unum sint, sicut tu Pater in me, et ego in te, ut et ipsi in nobis unum sint: ut credat mundus, quia tu me misisti.
"that they may all be one, even as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee; that they also may be in us; in order that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 Et ego claritatem, quam dedisti mihi, dedi eis: ut sint unum, sicut et nos unum sumus.
"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one even as we are one,
23 Ego in eis, et tu in me: ut sint consummati in unum: et cognoscat mundus quia tu me misisti, et dilexisti eos, sicut et me dilexisti.
"I in them and thou in me; that they may be made perfectly one, so that the world may recognize that thou didst send me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
24 Pater, quos dedisti mihi, volo ut ubi sum ego, et illi sint mecum: ut videant claritatem meam, quam dedisti mihi: quia dilexisti me ante constitutionem mundi.
"Father, it is my will that wherever I am these also, thy gift to me, may be with me, that they may see the glory, my glory which thou hast given me, because thou didst love me before the foundations of the world.
25 Pater juste, mundus te non cognovit, ego autem te cognovi: et hi cognoverunt, quia tu me misisti.
"O righteous Father, though the world knew thee not, I have known thee, and these have known that though didst send me.
26 Et notum feci eis nomen tuum, et notum faciam: ut dilectio, qua dilexisti me, in ipsis sit, et ego in ipsis.
"And I have declared - and will declare - thy name unto them, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
