Yoane 17

1 Sima na Yesu koloba bongo, atombolaki miso na Ye na Likolo mpe abondelaki: Tata, tango ekoki; monisa nkembo ya Mwana na Yo mpo ete Mwana mpe amonisa nkembo na Yo;

When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;

2 pamba te opesaki Ye bokonzi likolo ya bato nyonso, mpo ete apesa bomoi ya seko epai ya bato nyonso oyo opesaki Ye. (aiōnios g166)

even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)

3 Nzokande, bomoi ya seko ezali: koyeba Yo oyo ozali Nzambe moko kaka ya solo, mpe koyeba Yesu-Klisto oyo otindaki. (aiōnios g166)

And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 Namonisi nkembo na Yo awa na mokili mpe nasilisi mosala oyo opesaki Ngai.

I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine to do.

5 Sik’oyo Tata, pesa Ngai lisusu nkembo oyo nazalaki na yango kuna epai Yo ozali liboso ete okela mokili.

And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.

6 Namonisi nkembo na Yo epai ya bato oyo opesaki Ngai sima na Yo kolongola bango na misala ya mokili. Bazalaki bato na Yo, kasi opesaki Ngai bango; mpe batosi Liloba na Yo.

"I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.

7 Bayebi malamu sik’oyo ete nyonso oyo opesaki Ngai ewutaki solo epai na Yo;

Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

8 pamba te nateyaki bango maloba oyo opesaki Ngai, mpe bayambaki yango na esengo; bayebi ete nawutaki solo epai na Yo, mpe bandimi ete Yo nde otindaki Ngai.

For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me.

9 Nazali kobondela nde mpo na bango; nazali kobondela te mpo na bato ya mokili, kasi mpo na bato oyo opesaki Ngai, mpo ete bazali bato na Yo.

"I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,

10 Bato na Yo nyonso bazali bato na Ngai, mpe bato na Ngai nyonso bazali bato na Yo; mpe nkembo na Ngai ezali komonisama kati na bango.

and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them.

11 Kala mingi te, nakozala lisusu te kati na mokili, pamba te nazali koya epai na Yo; kasi bango, bakokoba kozala kati na mokili. Tata na Ngai, Yo oyo ozali Mosantu, batela bango na nguya ya Kombo na Yo, Kombo oyo opesaki Ngai, mpo ete bazala moko ndenge Yo na Ngai tozali moko.

I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.

12 Wana nazalaki elongo na bango, nabatelaki bango na nguya ya Kombo na Yo, Kombo oyo opesaki Ngai; nabatelaki bango malamu, mpe moko te kati na bango abungaki, longola kaka ye oyo asengeli na libebi mpo ete Makomi ekokisama.

While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13 Sik’oyo, nazali koya epai na Yo; kasi nazali koloba makambo oyo tango nazali nanu kati na mokili mpo ete esengo na Ngai, oyo ezali ya kokoka, ezala kati na bango.

"But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.

14 Nateyaki bango maloba oyo oyebisaki Ngai, mpe mokili eyinaki bango mpo ete bazali bato ya mokili te, ndenge Ngai mpe nazali ya mokili te.

I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15 Nazali kosenga na Yo te ete olongola bango kati na mokili, kasi nde obatela bango liboso ya Satana.

I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

16 Bazali bato ya mokili te, ndenge Ngai mpe nazali ya mokili te.

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

17 Bulisa bango na nzela ya bosolo na Yo, Liloba na Yo ya solo.

Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.

18 Ndenge otindaki Ngai kati na mokili, ndenge wana mpe Ngai nazali kotinda bango.

Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;

19 Namibonzaki mobimba epai na Yo mpo na bango, mpo ete bango mpe babulisama na nzela ya bosolo.

and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.

20 Nazali kobondela mpo na bango kaka te, kasi mpe mpo na bato oyo bakondima Ngai na nzela ya mateya na bango,

"Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;

21 mpo ete bango nyonso bazala moko ndenge Yo Tata ozali kati na Ngai, mpe Ngai kati na Yo; ete bango mpe bazala moko kati na biso, mpe ete mokili endima ete ezali Yo nde otindaki Ngai.

that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

22 Nasaleli bango ngolu ya kobika nkembo na Yo ndenge kaka osalaki mpo na Ngai, mpo ete bazala moko ndenge biso mpe tozali moko:

And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one:

23 Ngai kati na bango, mpe Yo kati na Ngai. Ezali kaka na nzela wana nde bakokoka kozala penza moko, mpo ete mokili eyeba penza ete Yo nde otindaki Ngai, mpe ete olingaka bango ndenge olingaka Ngai.

I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me.

24 Tata, nalingi ete bato oyo opesaki Ngai bazala elongo na Ngai kuna epai nazali kokende, mpo ete bamona nkembo na Ngai, nkembo oyo opesaki Ngai, pamba te olingaki Ngai liboso ete okela mokili.

"Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.

25 Tata, Yo oyo ozali sembo, mokili eyebi Yo te; kasi Ngai nayebi Yo, mpe bato oyo bayebi ete Yo nde otindaki Ngai.

And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send me.

26 Nalakisi bango nguya ya Kombo na Yo, mpe nakokoba kolakisa bango yango, mpo ete bolingo oyo ozali na yango mpo na Ngai ezala kati na bango, mpe Ngai nazala kati na bango.

And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
