Yohana 17

1 Ni kogon wa Yesu tre yi, a nzu shishi hi ni shulu na tre, “Iti, inton yeye, no Vren Me ninkonni ndu Vren Me ndu no'u ninkon -

Yeshua said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

2 ni wa u no gbengblen nitu bi nama kpa wawu ni ndu no re (ivri) u son hi ni tuntur ko indji ri me wa wu no'a. (aiōnios g166)

even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Iwa ahi re (ivri) u tuntur, wa ba to, ba to wuyi nkrji Me Wu Irji, niwa u ton Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah. (aiōnios g166)

4 Mi no ninkon me ni meme, Mi kle indu wa u ne ndi Mi tiwu'a.

I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

5 Zizan, “Bachi ne ninkon wa me he niwu rji niwu ri ni ndu ba me gbungblu'a.

Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

6 Mi ye yar inde rju ni ndi biwa u ne ba ni gbungblu'a. Bana bi Me u wu ne ba, u ba nji tre me.

“I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

7 Zizan, ba to ndi ikpe wa u ne wawu ba rji ni wu yi,

Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

8 Mi no ba wawu lan tre Me wa wu ne. Ba kpa ba na to nda a njanji Mi rji ni Wu, na kpa nyeme ndi a wu u ton me.

for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

9 Mi tre niwu bawu (addu'a), Mi tre niwu ni bi gbungblu'a na, se ni bi wa u ne ni ba, biki babi Me.

I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

10 Ikpe wawu wa ahi u Mu'a, a hi u Me. U Me ahi u Mu. Mi kpa ninkon ni ba.

All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

11 Mi na la u gbungblu'a ngana, u ba ndji biyi ba he ni gbungblu'a, u Mi si yi niwu. Tsatsra Ti, zi ba ni mi nde Me wa u ne ni ndu ba riri, nawa kita me ki riri.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

12 Niwa mina he ni ba, Mi ziba pyan me ni mi nde Me, ni wa u ne, Mi ka ba, u riri ni mi mbu ana yra tu na, se mri bi zyi bubu'a, ni ndu lantre'a shu.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 Zizan Mi si ye niwu, Mi si tre kpi biyi ni gbungblu'a ni ndu ingyiri Mu ndu shu ni ba.

But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

14 Mi no ba lan tre Me'a, u gbungblu'a kama ni ba nitu wa ba u lantre na, na wa Mi na u gbungblu'a na.

I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 Mi tre ni ndu vu ba rju ni gbungblu'a na ni ndu zi ba zizyime ni mi bi meme ba.

I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

16 Ba na bi gbungblu'a na, na wa mina u gbungblu'a na.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 Zi ba nkan nitu Me u njanji lantre Me a njanji.

Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

18 Na niwa u ton Me ni gbungblu'a, naki Mi ton ba hi ni gbungblu'a.

As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

19 Mi mla tu Mu zi niwu nitu mba, ni ndu ba mla tu-mba zi me niwu ni mi njanji.

For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

20 Mina tre niwu nitu iwa kankrji ma na, ani biwa ba kpa nyeme ni Me nitu tre mba'a

“Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,

21 ni ndu ba wawu mba hi ririi, nawu, Bachi, Wu he nimi Mu, u Ime nimi Me. Mi bre ni ndu ba he nimi Mbu, ni ndu gbungblu'a kpa nyeme ndi u ton Me.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

22 Ninkon wa U ne'a, Ime me Mi ka no ba, ni ndu ba hi ririi, nawa kita me ki riri'a:

The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,

23 Ime nimi mba, u Wu nimi Mu - ndi dun ba nji tu-mba ye katu bi, ni ndi dun gbungblu'a ni to ndi u ton Me, andi U son ba na wa U son Me.

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

24 Iti, Mi son biwa U kaba ne ndu ba he ni Me ni wurji wa Mi he yi, na to ninkon Mu, ninkon wa U Ne u nitu U son Me ri kuko ndi zi nchi gbungblu'a.

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

25 Tsatsra Ti, gbungblu'a na to Wu na, Ime Mi to'u, u ba ton nda ahi Wu yi U ton Me.

Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

26 Mi hla bawu inde Me, Mi la hla ni bawu nitu son Me wa U ndu he ni Me ni mi mba.

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
