Yohane 17
1 Yesu kaa saa nsɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Agya, ɛberɛ no aduru. Hyɛ wo Ba no animuonyam, na Ɔba no nso nhyɛ wo animuonyam.
These things, spake Jesus, and, lifting up his eyes unto heaven, said: —Father! The hour is come! Glorify thy Son, that, the Son, may glorify, thee, —
2 Womaa no nnipa nyinaa so tumi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛma wɔn a wode wɔn maa no no nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios g166)
Even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that, as touching whatsoever thou hast given him, he might give unto them, life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
3 Na ɛkwan a wɔnam so bɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ ne sɛ, wɔbɛhunu Onyankopɔn korɔ nokwafoɔ no, ne Yesu Kristo a wosomaa no baa asase so no! (aiōnios g166)
And, this, is the age-abiding life, That they get to know thee, the only real God, and him whom thou didst send, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
4 Medaa wʼanimuonyam adi kyerɛeɛ wɔ asase so na mewiee adwuma a wode hyɛɛ me nsa no yɛ.
I, glorified thee on the earth, The work, finishing, which thou hast given me that I should do.
5 Na afei, Agya, fa animuonyam a mewɔ wɔ wʼanim ansa na worebɔ ewiase no hyɛ me wɔ wʼanim ha.
And, now, glorify me—thou, Father! with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world’s existence, with thee.
6 “Mama nnipa a na anka wɔte ewiase a wode wɔn hyɛɛ me nsa no ahunu wo. Na wɔyɛ wo dea na wode wɔn maa me. Wɔatie wʼasɛm.
I manifested thy name, unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: Thine, they were, and, to me, thou gavest them, and, thy word, have they kept:
7 Afei, wɔahunu sɛ biribiara a wode maa me no firi wo nkyɛn.
Now, have they come to know, That, all things, as many as thou gavest me, are, from thee;
8 Mekaa asɛm a woka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menka nkyerɛ wɔn no kyerɛɛ wɔn na wɔtieeɛ. Wɔnim sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ mefiri wo nkyɛn na mebaeɛ. Na wɔgye di sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
And, the declarations which thou gavest me, have I given them, and, they, received them, and came to know in truth, that, from thee, came I forth, —and they believed, that, thou, didst send me forth.
9 Mebɔ mpaeɛ ma wɔn. Memmɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn a wɔnnye wʼasɛm nni, na mmom, nnipa a wode wɔn maa me no na mebɔ mpaeɛ ma wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyɛ wo dea.
I, concerning them, make request: not, concerning the world, do I make request, but concerning them whom thou hast given me, because, thine, they are, —
10 Biribiara a mewɔ no yɛ wo dea na biribiara a wowɔ no nso yɛ me dea. Ɛnam yeinom so ama manya animuonyam.
And, all my possessions, are, thine, and, thy possessions, mine, and I have been glorified in them.
11 Na afei, merefiri ewiase, na magya wɔn wɔ akyire 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 sɛdeɛ wo ne me yɛ baako no.
And, no longer, am I in the world, and, they, are, in the world, —and, I, unto thee, am coming. Holy Father! Keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, as, we.
12 Ɛberɛ 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 annyera, gye onipa a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyera no nko ara, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Atwerɛsɛm no bɛba mu.
When I was with them, I, kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, —And I kept watch, and, none from among them, went the destruction, —save the son of destruction, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled.
13 “Afei mereba wo nkyɛn. Maka saa nsɛm yi nyinaa ɛberɛ a meda so wɔ ewiase yi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mʼanigyeɛ bɛhyɛ wɔn ma.
But, now, unto thee, am I coming; and, these things, am I speaking in the world, that they may have my own joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 Mekaa wʼasɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn na ewiasefoɔ tanee wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔmfiri ewiase sɛdeɛ me nso memfiri ewiase no.
I, have given them thy word, and, the world, hated them, because they are not of the world—even as, I, am not of the world.
15 Memmisa wo sɛ yi wɔn firi ewiase, na mmom, mesrɛ sɛ, bɔ wɔn ho ban firi ɔbonsam nsam.
I request not, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them out of the evil:
16 Sɛdeɛ memfiri ewiase no, saa ara nso na wɔmfiri ewiase.
Of the world, they are not, even as, I, am not of the world.
17 Fa wo nsɛm a ɛyɛ nokorɛ no kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn na ɛnte wɔn ho, na ɛnyɛ wɔn kronkron.
Hallow them in the truth: Thine own word, is, truth:
18 Sɛdeɛ wosomaa me baa ewiase no, saa ara na me nso meresoma wɔn akɔ ewiase.
Even as thou didst send me forth into the world, I also, send them forth into the world;
19 Wɔn enti, mede me ho ma wo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nso de wɔn ho nyinaa bɛma wo.
And, on their behalf, I, hallow myself, that, they also, may have become hallowed in truth.
20 “Memmɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn nko. Mebɔ mpaeɛ ma wɔn a wɔnam asuafoɔ asɛm a wɔbɛka no so agye adi no nso.
Not however concerning these alone, do I make request, but, concerning them also who believe, through their word, on me:
21 Mebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ baako. Agya, sɛdeɛ wowɔ me mu na me nso mewɔ wo mu no, saa ara nso na ma wɔntena yɛn mu. Ma wɔn nyinaa nyɛ baako sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ewiase bɛgye adi sɛ, wo na wosomaa me.
That they, all, may be, one, —even as, thou, Father, in me, and, I, in thee, —that, they also, in us, may be; —that, the world, may believe that, thou, didst send me forth.
22 Mede animuonyam a wode hyɛɛ me a ɛmaa me ne wo yɛɛ baako no ahyɛ wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nso, wɔbɛyɛ baako sɛdeɛ yɛn nso yɛyɛ baako no.
And, I, the glory which thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one, even as, we, are, one.—
23 Mewɔ wɔn mu na wo nso wowɔ me mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ baako na ewiase ahunu sɛ, wo na wosomaa me na wodɔ wɔn sɛdeɛ wodɔ me no
I, in them and, thou, in me; That they may have been perfected into, one, —That the world may get to know, that, thou, didst send me forth, and didst love them even as thou didst love, me.
24 “Agya, mepɛ sɛ wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no bɛka me ho wɔ faako a mewɔ no, na wɔahunu mʼanimuonyam, animuonyam a wode maa me no, ɛfiri sɛ, wodɔ me ansa na wobɔɔ ewiase.
Father! As touching that which thou hast given me, I desire—That, where, I, am, they also, may be, with me, that they may behold my own glory which thou hast given me, —because thou lovedst me, before the foundation of the world.
25 “Agya kronkron, ewiase nnim wo, nanso me deɛ, menim wo; na asuafoɔ yi nim sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
Righteous Father! And so, the world, came not to know thee; but, I, came to know thee, and, these, came to know that, thou, didst send me forth:
26 Mama wɔahunu sɛdeɛ wo te na mɛkɔ so ayɛ saa daa, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔdɔ a wodɔ me no bɛtena wɔn nso mu na me nso, matena wɔn nso mu bi.”
And I made known unto them thy name, and will make known, —that, the love wherewith thou lovedst me, in them, may be, and, I, in them.
