Johane 17

1 Erile fa Jesu a sena go fetsa go bua dilo tse tsotlhe, a lelalela kwa legodimong mme a re, “Rara, Nako e gorogile. Senola kgalalelo ya ga Morwao gore a tle a kgone go e busetsa kwa go wena.

When Jesus had thus spoken, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee;

2 Gonne o mo neile taolo mo godimo ga banna le basadi mo lefatsheng lotlhe. O neela mongwe le mongwe botshelo jo bo sa khutleng jo o bo mo neileng. (aiōnios g166)

according as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that he should give everlasting life to all whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Mme tsela e e isang botshelong jo bosa khutleng ke e—ke ka go go itse wena Modimo o o boammaaruri o le esi, le Jesu Keresete, ene yo o mo romileng mo lefatsheng! (aiōnios g166)

And this is the everlasting life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send. (aiōnios g166)

4 Ke go lereditse kgalalelo mo lefatsheng ka go dira sengwe le sengwe se o ntheileng wa re ke se dire.

I have glorified thee on the earth, having finished the work which thou gavest me to do;

5 Mme jaanong, Rara, senola kgalalelo ya me jaaka ke eme fa pele ga gago, kgalalelo e re neng ra e tlhakanela pele ga lefatshe le simologa.

and now, Father! do thou glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

6 “Ke boleletse batho, ba, gotlhe ka ga gago. Ba ne ba le mo lefatsheng, mme wa ba nneela. Tota tota e ne e le ba gago ka malatsi otlhe, mme wa ba nnaya, mme ba go reetsa.

I manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

7 Jaanong ba itse gore sengwe le sengwe se ke nang naso ke mpho e e tswang kwa go wena,

Now they know that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee;

8 gonne ke ba neetse melao e o e nneetseng; mme ba e amogetse ebile ba itse ka botlalo gore ke tsile mo lefatsheng ke tswa kwa go wena, jalo ba dumela fa o nthomile.

for I have given to them the words which thou hast given me; and they received them, and knew surely that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.

9 “Thapelo ya me ga se go rapelela lefatshe, mme ke go rapelela ba o ba nneileng gonne ke ba gago.

I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine;

10 Mme botlhe fela, ka e le ba me, ke ba gago; mme o ba buseditse mo go nna ka sengwe le sengwe se e leng sa gago, jalo ba o ba nneileng ke kgalalelo ya me!

and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

11 Jaanong ke tloga mo lefatsheng, mme ke ba tlogela kwa morago, ke tla kwa go wena. Rara yo o Boitshepo, ba babalele, botlhe ba o ba nneileng, gore ba nne selo se le sengwe fela jaaka re ntse, go sa latlhega ope.

And I am no longer in the world; and they 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, even as we are.

12 Ka nako ya fa ke sa ntse ke le mono, ke bolokile batho botlhe ba o ba nneileng ba lwapa lwa gago. Ke ne ka ba tlhokomela gore le fa e le ope wa bone a seka a nyelela, fa e se morwa tatlhego fela fela jaaka dikwalo di boletse pele.

While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, and guarded them; and no one of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13 “Mme jaanong ke tla kwa go wena. Ke ba boleletse dilo tse dintsi fa ke sa ntse ke na le bone gore ba tle ba tlale boitumelo jwa me.

But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them.

14 Ke ba neetse ditaolo tsa gago. Mme lefatshe le a ba ila gonne ga ba dire mekgwa ya lone e e maswe, fela jaaka nna ke sa e dire.

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 Ga ke go kope gore o ba ntshe mo lefatsheng, mme ke kopa gore o ba boloke ba se ka ba wela mo nonofong ya ga Satane.

I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.

16 Ga ba sa tlhole e le ba lefatshe leno jaaka le nna ke se wa lone.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 Ba ntlafatse o ba itshepise ka go ba ruta mafoko a gago a boammaaruri.

Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is truth.

18 Fela jaaka o nthomile mo lefatsheng, le nna ke ba roma mo lefatsheng.

As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

19 Mme ke ineela gore ke ba thuse mo ditlhokong tsa bone tsa go gola mo boammaaruring le mo boitshepong.

And in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.

20 “Ga ke rapelele fela ba, mme ke rapelela le badumedi ba malatsi a a tlang ba ba tlaa tlang kwa go nna ka ntlha ya bosupi jwa bone ba.

Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe in me through their word;

21 Go ba rapelela ga me botlhe ke gore ba nne pelo e le nngwe le mogopolo o le mongwe fela jaaka wena le nna re ntse, Rara. Gore fela jaaka o le mo go nna le nna ke le mo go wena, le bone ba tle ba nne mo go rona, jalo lefatshe le tlaa dumela fa o nthomile.

that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

22 “Ke ba neile kgalalelo e o e nneileng, kopano e e galalelang ya go bopagana, jaaka re ntse,

And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one;

23 Nna ke le mo go bone le wena o le mo go nna, botlhe ba ntlafaleditswe mo go bopaganeng, gore lefatshe le tle le itse fa o nthomile le bo le tlhaloganye gore o ba rata fela jaaka o nthata.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

24 Rara, ke batla gore ba o ba nneetseng ba, ba nne le nna kwa ke gone, gore ba tle ba bone kgalalelo ya me. O nneetse kgalalelo gonne o sale o nthata pele ga lefatshe le simologa!

Father! as to that which thou hast given me, I desire that they also 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 “Oo Rara yo o tshiamo, lefatshe ga le go itse, mme nna ke a go itse; le barutwa ba, ba itse fa o nthomile.

Righteous Father! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me.

26 Mme ke go senotse mo go bone, jalo ke tlaa nna ke go senola gore lorato lwa gago lo logolo lo o ntshotseng ka lone lo nne mo go bone, le nna ke nne mo go bone.”

And I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
