Yohani 17

1 Yesu pakamaliriti kutakula aga, kalola kumpindi, kalonga. “Tati, shipindi shisoka! Gumkwisi mwana gwaku su Mwana kapati kukukwisa gwenga.

When Jesus finished saying this he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you.

2 Gumupiti uwezu kwa wantu woseri, su guwayupi ukomu wa mashaka goseri woseri awa wagunupiti. (aiōnios g166)

For you gave him authority over all people so that he might give eternal life to all those you have given to him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Na ukomu wa mashaka goseri ndo awu, kukumana gwenga yaguwera gweka yaku Mlungu gwa nakaka na kumana Yesu Kristu, yagumtumiti. (aiōnios g166)

Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 Neni nuulanguziya ukwisa waku pasipanu, ntenda kala lihengu lyagunupiti ntendi.

I have brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.

5 Tati! Gunkwisi pawulongolu paku vinu, ukwisa ulii yatuweriti nawu pamuhera pamberi pa kunyawa pasipanu.

Now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the beginning of the world.

6 “Nukutenda gumanikani kwa wantu walii wagunupiti kulawa pasi panu. Waweriti wantu wakuwi. Na gwenga gunupiti waweri waneni. Womberi washipikanira shisoweru shakuwi,

I have revealed your character to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you; you gave them to me; and they have done what you said.

7 na vinu wavimana handa kila shagunupiti shilawa kwagwenga.

Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.

8 Nuwapanani ujumbi ulii wagunupiti na womberi wawuwanka, wavimana nakaka ndawiti kwagwenga na wajimira handa gwenga guntumiti.

I have given them the message that you gave me. They accepted it, completely convinced that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

9 “Nuwaluwira awa. Nuwaluwira ndiri wantu woseri wa pasipanu kumbiti nuwaluwira wagunupiti, mana ndo waku.

I'm praying for them—not for the world, but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.

10 Vyoseri vyawera navi ndo vyaku na vyaku ndo vyaneni na ukwisa waneni uwonikana pakati pa wantu wagunupiti.

All who belong to me are yours, and those who belong to you are mine, and I have been glorified through them.

11 Na vinu niza kwakuwi, namulamu ndiri kayi pasipanu, kumbiti womberi wamulamu pasipanu. Tati Mnanagala! Kwa likakala lya litawu lyaku lyagunupiti, shondi shondi guwatuli weri su waweri yumu gambira twenga ntambu yatuwera yumu.

I am leaving the world, but they will remain in the world; I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name, the name that you gave to me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

12 Pamuweriti nawomberi, neni nuwalolera weri kwa likakala lya litawu lyaku lyagunupiti. Neni nuwalolera, kwahera ata yumu gwawu yakagamiriti, kumbiti ulii yumu yakagamiriti, su Malembu Mananagala gapati kutimirika.

While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you gave to me. I watched over them so that no one was lost except the ‘son of the lost,’ so Scripture was fulfilled.

13 Na, vinu niza kwagwenga na ntakula vitwatira avi pasipanu, su waweri na nemeleru ikamilika mumyoyu mwawu.

Now I'm coming to you, and I say these things while I am still here in the world so they may share completely in my joy.

14 Nuwayupiti ujumbi waku na wantu wa pasipanu wawakalalira toziya womberi wa pasipanu ndiri, gambira neni gwa pasipanu ndiri.

I gave them your message, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.

15 Nduwa ndiri guwawusiyi pasipanu, kumbiti nduwa guwaloleri na mkondola uliya.

I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but for you to protect them from the evil one.

16 Womberi wa pasi panu ndiri, handa viraa ntambu yanwera ndiri gwa pasipanu.

They are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.

17 Guwapungi waweri wagwenga munakaka, shisoweru shaku ndo shanakaka.

Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.

18 Ntakula viraa ntambu yaguntumiti pasipanu, naneni viraa nuwatuma womberi pasipanu,

Just as you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

19 na kwajili yawu, namweni neni nulitula kwa gwenga su nawomberi viraa wapungwi muunakaka.

I dedicate myself for them so that they may also be truly holy.

20 “Nuwaluwira awa ndiri hera, kumbiti nuwaluwira viraa woseri yawajimira toziya ya ujumbi awu.

I'm not only praying for them, I'm also praying for those who trust in me because of their message.

21 Nduwa su woseri waweri yumu. Tati! Nduwa waweri mngati mwa twenga gambira viraa gwenga ntambu yaguwera mngati mwaneni, naneni mngati mwaku. Nduwa waweri yumu su pasipanu papati kujimira handa gwenga guntumiti.

I pray that they all may be one, just as you, Father, live in me, and I live in you, so that they too may live in us so that the world will believe you did send me.

22 Neni nuwapanani ukwisa ulaa uliya wagunupiti neni, su waweri shintu shimu gambira twenga ntambu yatuwera yumu,

I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

23 neni, namngati mwawu nagwenga mngati mwangu, nduwa wakamiliki na waweri yumu, su wantu wa pasipanu wapati kumana gwenga guntumiti na guwafiri womberi ntambu yagunfira neni.

I live in them, and you live in me. May they be completely one, so the whole world will know that you did send me, and that you love them, just as you love me.

24 “Tati! Nfira awa wagunupiti waweri pamuhera naneni palaa panu, su wawoni ukwisa waneni wagunupiti, toziya gunfiriti neni pamberi pa kunyawa pasipanu.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so they can see the glory which you gave to me—for you loved me before the world was created.

25 Tati Muheri! Wantu wa pasipanu wakumana ndiri, kumbiti neni nukumana. Awa wavimana handa gwenga guntumiti.

Good Father, the world does not know you, but I know you, and these here with me know that you sent me.

26 Nukutenda gumanikani, na haendereyi kutenda hangu, su ufiru yaguwera nawu kwaneni uweri mngati mwawu, naneni hanweri mngati mwawu.”

I have revealed your character to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me will be in them, and I will live in them.”
