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,
These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;
2 nga bwe wamuwa obuyinza ku balina omubiri bonna, bonna be wamuwa alyoke abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
3 Buno bwe bulamu obutaggwaawo, okutegeera ggwe Katonda omu ow’amazima, n’oyo gwe watuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)
4 Nkugulumizizza ku nsi, omulimu gwe wantuma okukola, ngumalirizza.
I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;
5 Kale kaakano, Kitange, ngulumiza wamu naawe mu kitiibwa ekyo kye nnali nakyo ng’ensi tennabeerawo.”
and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.
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 manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.
7 Bategedde nga buli kye nnina kiva gy’oli,
Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;
8 kubanga buli kye wandagira nkibayigirizza ne bakitegeera era bategeeredde ddala nga nava gy’oli, era ne bakkiriza nga ggwe wantuma.
for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received [them], and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.
9 Mbasabira. Sisabira nsi, naye nsabira abo be wampa kubanga babo.
I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,
10 Ng’ebintu byonna bwe biri ebyange ate era nga bibyo, era ne bibyo nga byange, bampeesa ekitiibwa.
(and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine, ) and I am glorified in them.
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.
And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.
12 Bwe mbadde nabo, abo be wampa mbakuumye mu linnya lyo, ne watabaawo azikirira, okuggyako omwana ow’okubula, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire.”
When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 “Nange kaakano nzija gy’oli, era mbabuulidde ebintu bino nabo babe n’essanyu lyange nga lituukiridde mu bo.
And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.
14 Mbawadde ekigambo kyo, ensi n’ebakyawa kubanga si ba nsi nga Nze bwe siri wa nsi.
I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
15 Sikusaba kubaggya mu nsi, naye nkusaba obakuume eri omubi.
I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.
16 Si ba nsi nga nange bwe siri wa nsi.
They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17 Obatukuze mu mazima; ekigambo kyo ge mazima.
Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.
18 Nga bwe wantuma mu nsi, nange bwe ntyo mbatuma mu nsi.
As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world;
19 Era neetukuza ku lwabwe nabo balyoke batukuzibwe mu mazima.”
and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
20 “Sisabira bano bokka naye nsabira n’abo abanzikiriza olw’ekigambo kyabwe,
And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;
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 they may be all 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 Mbawadde ekitiibwa kye wampa, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, 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 thou in me, that they may be perfected into one [and] that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and [that] thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
24 “Kitange, bano be wampa njagala mbeere nabo we ndi balyoke bategeere ekitiibwa kyange kye wampa kubanga wanjagala, ng’ensi tennatondebwa.
Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst 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, — and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast 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 known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.
