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,
Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
2 nga bwe wamuwa obuyinza ku balina omubiri bonna, bonna be wamuwa alyoke abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom 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)
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
4 Nkugulumizizza ku nsi, omulimu gwe wantuma okukola, ngumalirizza.
I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
5 Kale kaakano, Kitange, ngulumiza wamu naawe mu kitiibwa ekyo kye nnali nakyo ng’ensi tennabeerawo.”
Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which 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 revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
7 Bategedde nga buli kye nnina kiva gy’oli,
Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
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 you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
9 Mbasabira. Sisabira nsi, naye nsabira abo be wampa kubanga babo.
I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom 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 things that are mine are yours, and yours 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.
I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even 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 your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, 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.
But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
14 Mbawadde ekigambo kyo, ensi n’ebakyawa kubanga si ba nsi nga Nze bwe siri wa nsi.
I have given them your word. The world 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 you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
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 in your truth. Your word is truth.
18 Nga bwe wantuma mu nsi, nange bwe ntyo mbatuma mu nsi.
As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
19 Era neetukuza ku lwabwe nabo balyoke batukuzibwe mu mazima.”
For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “Sisabira bano bokka naye nsabira n’abo abanzikiriza olw’ekigambo kyabwe,
“Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in 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 all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 Mbawadde ekitiibwa kye wampa, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
The glory which you have given me, I have given to 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 you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you 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 desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for 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, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew 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.”
I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
