John 17

1 Jesus 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;

Jesu hamana ku wamba izi zintu, ncha katwila menso akwe kwi wulu mi na ti, “Itayo, inako chi yasika, ulumbeke Mwanako njo kuti Mwana naye aku lumbeke-

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

sina kamo ba muheli buyendisi he wulu lya zi bumbantu zonse njo kuti awole kuha buhalo busamani kwa zumwi ni zumwi yo ba muhi. (aiōnios g166)

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

Ubu buhalo busamani: kuti ba kwizi, Ireeza yenke we niti, mi iye yo ba tumi, Jesu Kerisite. (aiōnios g166)

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

Ni baku tembi hansi. Ni ba mani mutendo oba nihi kuti ni tende.

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

Linu, Tayo, ni tembe hamwina nawe cha ku tembwa ku ni bena nawe pili inkanda ni seni ku bumbwa.

6 “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.

Ni ba sinululi izina lya ko ku bantu bo banihi kuzwilila mwi nkanda. I bali bako, mi ni waba ni ha, mi baba kuteki inzwi lya ko.

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

Hanu chi bezi kuti zintu zonse zo banihi zi zwa kwako,

8 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.

mukuti ni babahi ma nzwi anse oba nihi. Ba ba atambuli mi cho buniti ba be zibi kuti nibazwi kwako, mi baba zumini kuti ubani tumi.

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

Ni ba lapelela. Kani lapeleli inkanda kono ni lapelela abo boba nihi, mukuti nji bako.

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

Chonse chili cha ngu nji chako, mi chako nji changu, mi ni tembetwe mu bali.

11 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.

Kani si mwina mwi inkanda, kono aba bantu bena mwi inkanda, mi ni keza kwako. I tayo yo Jolola, ba bike mwi zina lyako abo boba nihi njikuti babe ba mwina, sina hatuli umwina.

12 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.

Hani ba sina nabo, ni baba bikite mwi zina lyako, lyo banihi. Ni baba silelezi, mi nanta yenke wabo ya ba sinyehi, kwanda ya mwana we nsinyeho, njo kuti mañolo e zuzilizwe.

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

Hanu ni keza kwako, kono ni wamba izi zintu mwi inkanda nji kuti babe ni ku saanga kwangu kwi zuzilizwe mu bali.

14 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.

Ni ba bahi inzwi lya ko, mi inkanda ibaba toyi kakuti kahena be nkanda, sina hani sali we nkanda.

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

Kani kukumbili kuti uba zwise mwi inkanda kono uba wungule ku mubilala.

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

Kahena be inkanda, sina hani sali we inkanda.

17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

Ba kungule kumbali cho buniti. Inzwi lyako buniti.

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

Sina mo bani tumini mwi inkanda, linu nibaba tumi mwi inkanda.

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

Che baka lyabo ni bali kunguli kumbali, mukuti abo beene nabo ba kungwilwe kumbali mubu niti.

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

Kani lapeli bulyo chaba, kono nabo bonse bani zumine kache nzwi lyabo.

21 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.

Njo kuti bonse babe bamwina, sina iwe, Tayo, mwina mwa ngu, mi nina mwenu. Ni lapela kuti nabo babe mwetu njo kuti inkanda mwi zumine kuti ubani tumi.

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

Kutembwa kuna kobanihi, ni ba kubahi, njo kuti babe ba mwina, sina hatuli bamwina.

23 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.

I me mu baali, mi iwe mwangu. Njo kuti be zuzilizwe mu mwina, njo kuti inkanda izibe kuti uba ni tumi, mi uba ba suni, sina mo ba ni sunini.

24 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.

Tayo, Ni saka kuti abo bo banihi nabo babe name kwete nibe njo kuti ba bone ku tembwa kwangu, ko banihi. Mukuti ubani suni kuzwililila ku matangilo a ku bumbwa kwe inkanda.

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

Itayo yo lukiti, inkanda kena iba kwizi, kono ni kwizi: mi aba bezi kuti ubani tumi.

26 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.”

Ni be zibisi izina lya ko kubali, mi ni sili izibisa njo kuti ke lato lyo bani saki kalyo libe mubali, mi munibe mubali.”
