John 17

1 After Jesus said these things, he lifted up his eyes to the heavens and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son so that the Son will 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 just as you gave him authority over all flesh so that he would give eternal life to everyone whom 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 This is eternal life: That they know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (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 glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work that you have given me to do.

Nilikutukuza hapa duniani, na kuikamilisha kazi uliyonipa niifanye.

5 Now, Father, glorify me along with yourself with the glory that I had with you before the world was made.

Sasa, Baba, unitukuze mimi pamoja na wewe mwenyewe kwa utukufu ule niliokuwa nao pamoja na wewe kabla ya ulimwengu kuumbwa.

6 I revealed your name to the people whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

Nililifunua jina lako kwa watu ulionipa hapa duniani. Walikuwa watu wako; lakini ulinikabidhi mimi. nao wamelishika neno lako.

7 Now they know that everything that you have given me comes from you,

Sasa wanajua kuwa kila kitu ulichonipa mimi kinatoka kwako,

8 for I have given them all the words that you gave me. They received them and truly knew that I came from you, and they believed that you sent 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 do not pray for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

Ninawaombea wao. Siuombei ulimwaengu bali wale ulionipa kwa kuwa wao ni wako.

10 Everything that is mine is yours, and yours is 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 I am no longer in the world, but these people are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me so that they will be one, just as we are one.

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, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I protected them, and not one of them was destroyed, except for the son of destruction, so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.

Nilipokuwa nao, niliwalinda kwa jina ulilonipa; Niliwalinda, na hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyepotea isipokuwa mwana wa upotevu, ili kwamba maandiko yatimie.

13 Now I am coming to you, but I am saying these things in the world so that they will 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, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just 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 do not ask for you to take them away from the world, but for you to keep them from the evil one.

Siwaombei kwamba uwatoe ulimwenguni bali uwalinde na yule mwovu.

16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

Wao si wa dunia kama vile mimi nisivyokuwa wa ulimwenguni.

17 Set them apart by the truth. Your word is truth.

Uwaweke wakfu kwako mwenyewe katika Kweli; neno lako ndiyo kweli.

18 Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

Ulinituma ulimwenguni, nami nimewatuma ulimwenguni.

19 For their sakes I have set myself apart, so that they themselves may also be set apart in truth.

Kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe ninajitoa kwako ili kwamba na wao wajitoe kwako kwa ile kweli.

20 I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word

Si hawa tu ninaowaombea, bali na wale watakaoamini kupitia neno lao

21 so that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world will 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 The glory that you gave me, I have given to them, so that they will be one, just 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 brought to complete unity, so that the world will know that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you 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 want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you gave me because you loved me before the creation 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 Righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I know you; and these know that you sent me.

Baba mwenye haki, ulimwengu haukukujua wewe, lakini mimi nakujua wewe; na wanajua kwamba ulinituma.

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