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.
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 Womaa no nnipa nyinaa so tumi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma wɔn a wode wɔn maa no no nkwa a enni awiei. (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 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 the everlasting life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send. (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 on the earth, having finished the work which thou gavest me to do;
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, with the glory which I had 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 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 Afei, wɔahu sɛ biribiara a wode ama me no fi wo nkyɛn.
Now they know that all things whatever 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 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 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 pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom 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 things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am 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 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 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.
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 “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 come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them.
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 do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.
16 Sɛnea mimfi wiase no, saa ara na wɔn nso mfi wiase.
They are not of the world, even 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 in thy truth; thy word is truth.
18 Sɛnea wosomaa me baa wiase no, saa ara na me nso meresoma wɔn akɔ wiase.
As thou didst send me into the world, I also 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 in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.
20 “Memmɔ mpae mma wɔn nko. Mebɔ mpae ma wɔn a wɔnam asuafo asɛm a wɔbɛka no so agye adi no nso.
Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who 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 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 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 the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, 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 made perfect in one, 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! 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 “Agya Kronkron, wiase nnim wo nanso me de, minim wo; na asuafo yi nim sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
Righteous Father! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send 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 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.
