Johani 17

1 Jesu wakataura zvinhu izvi, ndokusimudzira meso ake kudenga, akati: Baba, awa rasvika; kudzai Mwanakomana wenyu, kuti Mwanakomana wenyuwo akukudzei;

After Jesus said these things, He looked toward Heaven, and said: “Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son may also glorify You,

2 sezvo makamupa simba pamusoro penyama yese, kuti vese vamakamupa, avape upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)

as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Uye uhu upenyu husingaperi, kuti vakuzivei imwi Mwari wega wechokwadi, naJesu Kristu wamakatuma. (aiōnios g166)

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who You have sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 Ini ndakakukudzai panyika; ndapedza basa ramakandipa kuti ndiite;

I have glorified You on the Earth. I have finished the work which You have given me to do.

5 uye ikozvino ndikudzei, imwi Baba, kwamuri pachenyu nerukudzo rwandaiva narwo ndinemwi nyika isati yavapo.

Now, O Father, glorify me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.

6 Ndaratidza zita renyu kuvanhu vamakandipa kubva munyika; vakange vari venyu, uye makavapa ini; uye vakachengeta shoko renyu.

“I have revealed Your name to the people You’ve given me out of the world. They were Yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept Your word.

7 Ikozvino voziva kuti zvese-zvese zvamakandipa, zvinobva kwamuri;

Now they know that everything You’ve given me comes from You,

8 nokuti ndakapa kwavari mashoko amakandipa; uye ivo vakagamuchira, vakaziva zvirokwazvo kuti ndakabuda kwamuri, uye vakatenda kuti imwi makandituma.

for I have spoken to them the words You’ve given me. They have received Your words, and have come to know for certain that I came forth from You. They have believed that You sent me.

9 Ini ndinokumbirira ivo; handikumbiriri nyika, asi avo vamakandipa, nokuti ndevenyu;

It is for them I pray. I’m not praying for the world, but for those who You’ve given me, because they belong to You.

10 uye zvese zvangu ndezvenyu, nezvenyu ndezvangu; uye ndakakudzwa mavari.

All of mine are Yours, and Yours are mine. I am glorified in them.

11 Uye handichisiri munyika, asi ava vari munyika; uye ini ndinouya kwamuri. Baba vatsvene, vachengetei muzita renyu vamakandipa, kuti vave vamwe, sesu.

Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world. I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those who You’ve given me, that they may be one just as we are one.

12 Pandaiva navo munyika, ini ndaivachengeta muzita renyu; avo vamakandipa, ndikachengetedza, uye hapana umwe wavo wakarasika, kunze kwemwanakomana wekuraswa, kuti rugwaro rwuzadziswe.

I kept them in Your name while I was with them in the world. I have kept the people You gave me; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 Asi ikozvino ndinouya kwamuri, uye zvinhu izvi ndinotaura munyika, kuti vave nemufaro wangu wakazadziswa mavari.

Now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world, so that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 Ini ndakavapa shoko renyu, uye nyika yakavavenga, nokuti havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.

I have given them Your word. The world has hated them because they don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.

15 Handikumbiri kuti muvabvise panyika, asi kuti muvachengete pane wakaipa.

I don’t pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

16 Havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.

They don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.

17 Vaitei vatsvene muchokwadi chenyu; shoko renyu ichokwadi.

Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

18 Sezvamakandituma munyika, neniwo ndavatuma munyika.

As You sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

19 Uye ini ndinozviita mutsvene nekuda kwavo, kuti ivowo vaitwe vatsvene muchokwadi.

I sanctify myself for their sakes, so that they may also be sanctified by the truth.

20 Uye handikumbiriri ava chete, asi naivo vachatenda kwandiri neshoko ravo;

“I don’t pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in me through their message,

21 kuti vese vave umwe; semwi, Baba, mandiri, neni mamuri; kuti ivowo vave umwe matiri; kuti nyika itende kuti imwi makandituma.

that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in me, and I in You. I pray that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent me.

22 Nekubwinya kwamakandipa, ini ndakavapa, kuti vave umwe, sesu tiri umwe.

I have given them the glory which You gave me, that they may be one just as we are one:

23 Ini mavari, nemwi mandiri, kuti vapedzeredzwe vave umwe; uye kuti nyika izive kuti imwi makandituma, uye makavada, sezvamakandida.

I in them and You in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent me and have sincerely loved them even as You have sincerely loved me.

24 Baba, ndinoda kuti ivowo vamakandipa, vave neni apo pandiri ini, kuti vaone kubwinya kwangu, kwamakandipa, nokuti makandida mavambo enyika asati avapo.

Father, I desire that those You gave me may also be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which You’ve given me; because You sincerely loved me before the foundation of the world.

25 Baba vakarurama, nenyika haina kukuzivai, asi ini ndakakuzivai, neava vakaziva kuti imwi makandituma;

O righteous Father! The world hasn’t known You, but I have always known You, and these have come to know that You sent me.

26 uye ndakazivisa kwavari zita renyu, uye ndicharizivisa, kuti rudo rwamakandida narwo ruve mavari, neni mavari.

I have declared to them Your name, and will continue to declare it, so that the sincere love with which You sincerely loved me may be in them, and I may be in them.”
