John 17
1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you:
Yesu aliyasema mambo haya; kisha akainua macho yake kuelelea mbinguni na akasema, “Baba, saa imewadia; mtukuze mwanao ili na mwana naye akutukuze wewe -
2 As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him. (aiōnios g166)
kama vile ulivyompatia mamlaka juu ya vyote vyenye mwili ili awape uzima wa milele wale wote uliompatia. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
Huu ndio uzima wa milele: kwamba wakujue wewe, Mungu wa kweli na wa pekee, na yeye uliyemtuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.
Nilikutukuza hapa duniani, na kuikamilisha kazi uliyonipa niifanye.
5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
Sasa, Baba, unitukuze mimi pamoja na wewe mwenyewe kwa utukufu ule niliokuwa nao pamoja na wewe kabla ya ulimwengu kuumbwa.
6 I have manifested your name unto the men which you gave me out of the world: your they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept your word. (logos)
Nililifunua jina lako kwa watu ulionipa hapa duniani. Walikuwa watu wako; lakini ulinikabidhi mimi. nao wamelishika neno lako.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever you have given me are of you.
Sasa wanajua kuwa kila kitu ulichonipa mimi kinatoka kwako,
8 For I have given unto them the words (rhema) which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me.
kwa maneno yale uliyonipatia mimi— Nimekwisha wapatia wao maneno hayo. Waliyapokea na kweli wakajua ya kuwa mimi nimetoka kwako, na wakaamini kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which you have given me; for they are yours.
Ninawaombea wao. Siuombei ulimwaengu bali wale ulionipa kwa kuwa wao ni wako.
10 And all mine are yours, and your are mine; and I am glorified in them.
Vitu vyote ambavyo ni vyangu ni vyako, na vile ulivyonavyo wewe ni vyangu; nami ninatukuzwa katika hivyo.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Mimi simo tena ulimwenguni, bali wao wamo ulimwenguni, nami sasa naja kwako. Baba Mtakatifu, watunze kwa jina lako lile ulilonipa sisi ili wao nao wawe na umoja, kama vile mimi na wewe tulivyo na umoja.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Nilipokuwa nao, niliwalinda kwa jina ulilonipa; Niliwalinda, na hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyepotea isipokuwa mwana wa upotevu, ili kwamba maandiko yatimie.
13 And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
Sasa ninakuja kwako; lakini ninasema haya ulimwenguni ili kwamba furaha yangu ikamilishwe ndani yao wenyewe.
14 I have given them your word; (logos) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Nimewapa neno lako; ulimwengu imewachukia kwa sababu wao si wa ulimwengu, kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwengu
15 I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.
Siwaombei kwamba uwatoe ulimwenguni bali uwalinde na yule mwovu.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Wao si wa dunia kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwenguni.
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word (logos) is truth.
Uwaweke wakfu kwako mwenyewe katika Kweli; neno lako ndiyo kweli.
18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Ulinituma ulimwenguni, nami nimewatuma ulimwenguni.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe ninajitoa kwako ili kwamba na wao wajitoe kwako kwa ile kweli.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; (logos)
Si hawa tu ninaowaombea, bali na wale watakaoamini kupitia neno lao
21 That they all may be one; 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 have sent me.
ili kwamba wao nao wawe na umoja, kama vila wewe Baba, ulivyo ndani yangu nami ndani yako. Nawaombea ili kwamba wao pia waweze kuwa ndani yetu ili ulimwengu uweze kuamini kuwa wewe ndiye uliyenituma.
22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Utukufu ule ulionipa mimi - nimewapa wao, ili kwamba waweze kuwa na umoja, kama vile sisi tulivyo umoja -
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
Mimi ndani yao, nawe ndani yangu, ili waweze kukamilishwa katika umoja; ili ulimwengu ujue kuwa hakika wewe ndiye uliyenituma, na kuwapenda, kama vile wewe ulivyonipenda, mimi.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Baba, kile ulichonipa mimi - Natamani kwamba wao pia waweze kuwa pamoja nami mahali nilipo ili waweze kuona utukufu wangu, ule ulionipa: kwa kuwa wewe ulinipenda mimi kabla ya kuumbwa kwa misingi ya ulimwengu.
25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
Baba mwenye haki, ulimwengu haukukujua wewe, lakini mimi nakujua wewe; na wanajua kwamba ulinituma.
26 And I have declared unto them your name, and will declare it: that the love (agape) wherewith you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Nililifanya jina lako lijulikane kwao, na nitalifanya lijulikane ili kwamba lile pendo ambalo kwalo ulinipenda mimi liweze kuwa ndani yao, na mimi niweze kuwa ndani yao.”
