Yohane 17
1 Yesu kaa saa nsɛm yi wiee no, ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro bɔɔ mpae se, “Agya, bere no adu. Hyɛ wo Ba no anuonyam, na Ɔba no nso nhyɛ wo anuonyam.
THESE things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee:
2 Womaa no nnipa nyinaa so tumi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma wɔn a wode wɔn maa no no nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
3 Na ɔkwan a wɔnam so benya nkwa a enni awiei ne sɛ, wobehu Onyankopɔn koro nokwafo no ne Yesu Kristo a wosomaa no baa asase so no! (aiōnios g166)
and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
4 Mawie adwuma a wode hyɛɛ me nsa no yɛ nam so ada wʼanuonyam adi akyerɛ wɔ asase so.
I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform.
5 Na afei, Agya, fa anuonyam a mewɔ wɔ wʼanim ansa na wobɔ wiase no hyɛ me wɔ wʼanim ha.
And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was.
6 “Mama nnipa a na anka wɔte wiase a wode wɔn hyɛɛ me nsa no ahu wo. Na wɔyɛ wo de na wode wɔn maa me. Wɔatie wʼasɛm.
I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept.
7 Afei, wɔahu sɛ biribiara a wode ama me no fi wo nkyɛn.
Now have they known, that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee.
8 Mekaa asɛm a woka kyerɛɛ me se menka nkyerɛ wɔn no kyerɛɛ wɔn na wotiei. Wonim sɛ ɛyɛ nokware sɛ mifi wo nkyɛn na mebae. Na wogye di sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
For the declarations which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me.
9 Mebɔ mpae ma wɔn. Memmɔ mpae mma wɔn a wonnye wʼasɛm nni, na mmom nnipa a wode wɔn maa me no na mebɔ mpae ma wɔn, efisɛ wɔyɛ wo de.
I entreat for them: I make no request for the world; but for those thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 Biribiara a mewɔ no yɛ wo de na biribiara a wowɔ no nso yɛ me de. Ɛnam eyinom so ama manya anuonyam.
And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them.
11 Na afei, merefi wiase na magyaw wɔn wɔ akyi aba wo nkyɛn. Agya Kronkron, wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no, fa wo din a tumi wɔ mu no bɔ wɔn ho ban na wɔayɛ baako sɛnea wo ne me yɛ baako no.
And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name’s sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 Bere a me ne wɔn wɔ hɔ no, mede tumi a wode maa me no hwɛɛ wɔn so. Mebɔɔ wɔn ho ban, na wɔn mu biara anyera, gye onipa a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyera no nko ara, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kyerɛwsɛm no bɛba mu.
When I was with them in the world, I preserved them by thy name: those whom thou hast given me have I guarded, and not one of them is perished, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 “Afei mereba wo nkyɛn. Maka saa nsɛm yi nyinaa bere a meda so wɔ wiase yi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mʼanigye bɛhyɛ wɔn ma.
But now I am coming to thee; and I am speaking these things in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 Mekaa wʼasɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn na wiasefo tan wɔn, efisɛ womfi wiase sɛnea me nso mimfi wiase no.
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 Mimmisa wo sɛ yi wɔn fi wiase, na mmom mesrɛ sɛ bɔ wɔn ho ban fi ɔbonsam nsam.
I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one.
16 Sɛnea mimfi wiase no, saa ara na wɔn nso mfi wiase.
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17 Fa wo nsɛm a ɛyɛ nokware no kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn na ɛntew wɔn ho mma ɛnyɛ wɔn kronkron.
Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 Sɛnea wosomaa me baa wiase no, saa ara na me nso meresoma wɔn akɔ wiase.
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world.
19 Wɔn nti mede me ho ma wo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn nso de wɔn ho nyinaa bɛma wo.
And for them I devote myself, that they also might be sanctified by the truth.
20 “Memmɔ mpae mma wɔn nko. Mebɔ mpae ma wɔn a wɔnam asuafo asɛm a wɔbɛka no so agye adi no nso.
And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;
21 Mebɔ mpae sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ baako. Agya, sɛnea wowɔ me mu na me nso mewɔ wo mu no, saa ara na ma wɔn nso ntena yɛn mu. Ma wɔn nyinaa nyɛ baako sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wiase begye adi sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 Mede anuonyam a wode hyɛɛ me a ɛmaa me ne wo yɛɛ baako no ahyɛ wɔn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn nso wɔbɛyɛ baako sɛnea yɛn nso yɛyɛ baako no.
And I have given them the glory, which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 Mewɔ wɔn mu na wo nso wowɔ me mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ baako na wiase ahu sɛ wo na wosomaa me na wodɔ wɔn sɛnea wodɔ me no.
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 “Agya, mepɛ sɛ wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no bɛka me ho wɔ faako a mewɔ no, na wɔahu mʼanuonyam, anuonyam a wode maa me no, efisɛ wodɔ me ansa na wobɔɔ wiase.
Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 “Agya Kronkron, wiase nnim wo nanso me de, minim wo; na asuafo yi nim sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 Mama wɔahu sɛnea wo te, na mɛkɔ so ayɛ saa daa, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔdɔ a wodɔ me no bɛtena wɔn nso mu na me nso matena wɔn mu bi.”
And I have 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.
