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 words spake 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 nga bwe wamuwa obuyinza ku balina omubiri bonna, bonna be wamuwa alyoke abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo. (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 Buno bwe bulamu obutaggwaawo, okutegeera ggwe Katonda omu ow’amazima, n’oyo gwe watuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
And this is life eternal, that they might 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 finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 Kale kaakano, Kitange, ngulumiza wamu naawe mu kitiibwa ekyo kye nnali nakyo ng’ensi tennabeerawo.”
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had 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 unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, 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 whatsoever 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 I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 Mbasabira. Sisabira nsi, naye nsabira abo be wampa kubanga babo.
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which 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 mine are thine, and thine are 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 now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
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 in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, 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 come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
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 hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 Sikusaba kubaggya mu nsi, naye nkusaba obakuume eri omubi.
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 Si ba nsi nga nange bwe siri wa nsi.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Obatukuze mu mazima; ekigambo kyo ge mazima.
Sanctify them through thy 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, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 Era neetukuza ku lwabwe nabo balyoke batukuzibwe mu mazima.”
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 “Sisabira bano bokka naye nsabira n’abo abanzikiriza olw’ekigambo kyabwe,
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall 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 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 Mbawadde ekitiibwa kye wampa, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even 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 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 “Kitange, bano be wampa njagala mbeere nabo we ndi balyoke bategeere ekitiibwa kyange kye wampa kubanga wanjagala, ng’ensi tennatondebwa.
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; 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.
O righteous Father, the world hath 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 declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
