Yokaana 17
1 Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’atunula eri eggulu, n’ayogera nti, “Kitange ekiseera kituuse. Gulumiza Omwana wo, n’omwana alyoke akugulumize,
When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.
2 nga bwe wamuwa obuyinza ku balina omubiri bonna, bonna be wamuwa alyoke abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)
3 Buno bwe bulamu obutaggwaawo, okutegeera ggwe Katonda omu ow’amazima, n’oyo gwe watuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (aiōnios g166)
4 Nkugulumizizza ku nsi, omulimu gwe wantuma okukola, ngumalirizza.
I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.
5 Kale kaakano, Kitange, ngulumiza wamu naawe mu kitiibwa ekyo kye nnali nakyo ng’ensi tennabeerawo.”
And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
6 “Njolesezza erinnya lyo eri abantu be wampa okuva mu nsi. Baali ba nsi naye n’obampa. Baali babo n’obampa era bakkirizza ekigambo kyo.
I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
7 Bategedde nga buli kye nnina kiva gy’oli,
Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.
8 kubanga buli kye wandagira nkibayigirizza ne bakitegeera era bategeeredde ddala nga nava gy’oli, era ne bakkiriza nga ggwe wantuma.
For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
9 Mbasabira. Sisabira nsi, naye nsabira abo be wampa kubanga babo.
I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.
10 Ng’ebintu byonna bwe biri ebyange ate era nga bibyo, era ne bibyo nga byange, bampeesa ekitiibwa.
All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.
11 Nze sikyali mu nsi, naye bo bali mu nsi, ate nga nzija gy’oli. Kitange Omutukuvu, be wampa bakuume mu linnya lyo, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.
12 Bwe mbadde nabo, abo be wampa mbakuumye mu linnya lyo, ne watabaawo azikirira, okuggyako omwana ow’okubula, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire.”
While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
13 “Nange kaakano nzija gy’oli, era mbabuulidde ebintu bino nabo babe n’essanyu lyange nga lituukiridde mu bo.
But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.
14 Mbawadde ekigambo kyo, ensi n’ebakyawa kubanga si ba nsi nga Nze bwe siri wa nsi.
I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
15 Sikusaba kubaggya mu nsi, naye nkusaba obakuume eri omubi.
I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
16 Si ba nsi nga nange bwe siri wa nsi.
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17 Obatukuze mu mazima; ekigambo kyo ge mazima.
Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
18 Nga bwe wantuma mu nsi, nange bwe ntyo mbatuma mu nsi.
As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
19 Era neetukuza ku lwabwe nabo balyoke batukuzibwe mu mazima.”
For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.
20 “Sisabira bano bokka naye nsabira n’abo abanzikiriza olw’ekigambo kyabwe,
I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,
21 bonna babeere bumu, nga ggwe Kitange bw’oli mu Nze, nange nga ndi mu ggwe, nabo babeerenga mu ffe, ensi eryoke ekkirize nga ggwe wantuma.
that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
22 Mbawadde ekitiibwa kye wampa, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—
23 Nze nga ndi mu bo, era naawe ng’oli mu Nze balyoke bafuukire ddala omuntu omu. Ensi eryoke etegeere nga ggwe wantuma era nti obaagala nga bw’onjagala.”
I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.
24 “Kitange, bano be wampa njagala mbeere nabo we ndi balyoke bategeere ekitiibwa kyange kye wampa kubanga wanjagala, ng’ensi tennatondebwa.
Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25 “Ayi Kitange Omutukuvu, ensi teyakumanya, kyokka Nze nkumanyi era n’abayigirizwa bano bamanyi nga ggwe wantuma.
Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
26 Era mbayigirizza ne bamanya erinnya lyo, era nzija kwongera okubamanyisa okwagala kwo kw’onjagala, kulyoke kubeerenga mu bo, era nange mbeere mu bo.”
And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
