Johani 17
1 Jesu wakataura zvinhu izvi, ndokusimudzira meso ake kudenga, akati: Baba, awa rasvika; kudzai Mwanakomana wenyu, kuti Mwanakomana wenyuwo akukudzei;
These spake Jeshu; and, uplifting his eyes to heaven, he said, My Father, the hour hath come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.
2 sezvo makamupa simba pamusoro penyama yese, kuti vese vamakamupa, avape upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him he should give the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
3 Uye uhu upenyu husingaperi, kuti vakuzivei imwi Mwari wega wechokwadi, naJesu Kristu wamakatuma. (aiōnios g166)
But this is the life which is eternal, that they know thee, who art the true Aloha, and Him whom thou hast sent, Jeshu Meshicha. (aiōnios g166)
4 Ini ndakakukudzai panyika; ndapedza basa ramakandipa kuti ndiite;
I have glorified thee on the earth; the work which thou didst give me to do, I have finished it.
5 uye ikozvino ndikudzei, imwi Baba, kwamuri pachenyu nerukudzo rwandaiva narwo ndinemwi nyika isati yavapo.
And now glorify thou me, my Father, with thyself, in that glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 Ndaratidza zita renyu kuvanhu vamakandipa kubva munyika; vakange vari venyu, uye makavapa ini; uye vakachengeta shoko renyu.
I have made known thy name unto the sons of man; those whom thou gavest me from the world: thine they were, and to me didst thou give them; and they have kept thy word.
7 Ikozvino voziva kuti zvese-zvese zvamakandipa, zvinobva kwamuri;
Now have they known that whatsoever thou hast given me is from thee.
8 nokuti ndakapa kwavari mashoko amakandipa; uye ivo vakagamuchira, vakaziva zvirokwazvo kuti ndakabuda kwamuri, uye vakatenda kuti imwi makandituma.
And the words that thou gavest me I have given them, and they have received, and have known assuredly that from thee I came forth, and have believed that thou didst send me.
9 Ini ndinokumbirira ivo; handikumbiriri nyika, asi avo vamakandipa, nokuti ndevenyu;
And for them I pray; not for the world I pray, but for them whom thou hast given me, because they are thine.
10 uye zvese zvangu ndezvenyu, nezvenyu ndezvangu; uye ndakakudzwa mavari.
And every thing of mine is thine, and thine is mine, and 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.
Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through thy name, that (name) which thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we are.
12 Pandaiva navo munyika, ini ndaivachengeta muzita renyu; avo vamakandipa, ndikachengetedza, uye hapana umwe wavo wakarasika, kunze kwemwanakomana wekuraswa, kuti rugwaro rwuzadziswe.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them through thy name: those whom thou gavest me I have kept, and a man of them is not lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.
13 Asi ikozvino ndinouya kwamuri, uye zvinhu izvi ndinotaura munyika, kuti vave nemufaro wangu wakazadziswa mavari.
BUT now I come to thee, and these (things) I speak in the world, that they may have my joy completed in themselves.
14 Ini ndakavapa shoko renyu, uye nyika yakavavenga, nokuti havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.
I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
15 Handikumbiri kuti muvabvise panyika, asi kuti muvachengete pane wakaipa.
Not that thou wouldest take them out of the world do I pray, but that thou wouldest keep them from the evil;
16 Havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.
for they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Vaitei vatsvene muchokwadi chenyu; shoko renyu ichokwadi.
Father, sanctify them through thy truth; for thy word is truth.
18 Sezvamakandituma munyika, neniwo ndavatuma munyika.
As me thou hast sent into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
19 Uye ini ndinozviita mutsvene nekuda kwavo, kuti ivowo vaitwe vatsvene muchokwadi.
And for their sakes I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated for the truth.
20 Uye handikumbiriri ava chete, asi naivo vachatenda kwandiri neshoko ravo;
Nor for these do I pray only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;
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 thou, my Father, (art) in me, and I in thee, that they also in us one may be; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 Nekubwinya kwamakandipa, ini ndakavapa, kuti vave umwe, sesu tiri umwe.
And the glory which thou hast given me have I given unto them, that they may be one 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 thou in me, that they may be perfected in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou hast loved them, as me also thou hast loved.
24 Baba, ndinoda kuti ivowo vamakandipa, vave neni apo pandiri ini, kuti vaone kubwinya kwangu, kwamakandipa, nokuti makandida mavambo enyika asati avapo.
Father, those whom thou hast given I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see that glory of mine, which thou hast given to me; for thou lovedst me before the foundations of the world.
25 Baba vakarurama, nenyika haina kukuzivai, asi ini ndakakuzivai, neava vakaziva kuti imwi makandituma;
My righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 uye ndakazivisa kwavari zita renyu, uye ndicharizivisa, kuti rudo rwamakandida narwo ruve mavari, neni mavari.
And I have made known unto them thy name, and I make it known that the love itself, wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I may be in them.
