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;
Yesu mpwalamba bintu ibi, walalanga kwilu nekwambeti, “Cindi cilashiki Ta. Kamumupani bulemu mwanenu, kwambeti nendi Mwanenu amupe bulemu.
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)
Pakwinga mwalamupa ngofu shakwendelesha bantu bonse kwambeti ape buyumi butapu kuli bonse mbomwalamupa. (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)
Buyumi butapu nikwinshiba njamwe kayi neYesu Klistu ngomwalatuma. (aiōnios g166)
4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
Ndamuletele bulemu pacishi capanshi pakupwisha mulimo ngomwalantuma.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
Neco Ta kamumpani bulemu pacino cindi ncendesanga kulinjamwe. Bulemu busa mbondalikukute kacitana cilengwa cishi.”
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.
“Balamwishibi cena abo mbomwalampa pano pacishicapanshi, balikuba benu, nsombi mwalampa. Kayi balakonka maswi enu.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
Lino bacinshi kwambeti byonse mbyomwalampa byalafuma kulinjamwe.
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.
Pakwinga ndalabeisha maswi ngomwalangambila kayi balatambula. Neco bacinshi kwambeti ndalafuma kuli njamwe, kayi bashoma kwambeti njamwe mwalantuma.
9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
“Ndabapaililinga. Nkandapaililinga cishi capanshi sobwe, nsombi ndapaililinga abo mbomwalampa pakwinga nibenu.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
Byonse mbyonkute nibyenu, kayi byenu byonse nibyakame, neco nkute kupewa bulemu mulyendibo.
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.
Lino ndesanga kulinjamwe. Nteshi mbenganga mucishi capanshi sobwe, ndesanga kulinjamwe, nsombi nabo mobacili. Ta omwaswepa kamubasunga mulina lyenu ndyomwalampa, kwambeti babeti umo mbuli njafwe ncetuli umo
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.
Mpondalikuba nabo, ndalikubasunga nengofu nshomwalampa. Ndalabacingilila cena kayi kuliya nambi umo walataika, kufunyakowa usa walikuba welela kutaika, kwambeti byonse byalalembwa binshike.
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.
“Lino ndesanga kuli njamwe. Ndambanga bintu ibi nkandicili panshi pano kwambeti, kukondwa kwakame kwisule mumyoyo yabo.
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.
Ndabeyishi maswi enu. nsombi cishi cilabapata, pakwinga nabo baliya cibusa necishi capanshi, mbuli ame ncondababula cibusa ne cishi capanshi.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
Nkandasengenga kwambeti mubafunye mucishi capanshi sobwe, nsombi kwambeti mubacingilile kumulwani.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Nabo ntebo bapacishi capanshi, mbuli ame ncendabula kuba wapa cishi capanshi.
17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
Mubaswepeshe necancine ncine kwambeti babe benu. Maswi enu ecanci ncine.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
Mbuli ncemwalantuma ame pacishi capanshi pano, nenjame ndabatumu pacishi capanshi pano.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Pacebo cabo ndalibenge kuli njamwe, kwambeti nabo balibenge kuli njamwe mucancine ncine.”
20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
Nkandapaililinga aba bonka sobwe, nsombi bonse beshibakanshome pacebo ca mulumbe wabo.
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.
Ndabapaililinga kwambeti bonse bakabebamo. Mbuli amwe Ta ncomuli mulinjame, kayi nenjame ndimulinjamwe nabo bekale muli njafwe. Neco bantu bonse bakashome kwambeti mwalantuma.
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
Ndabapa bulemu mbomwalampa, kwambeti babe bamo, babe mbuli afwe ncetuli bamo.
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.
Ame njikale mulyendibo, nenjamwe muli njame kwambeti babe bamo cancine ncine. Neco bantu bonse nibakenshibe kwambeti njamwe mwalantuma, kayi mubasuni mbuli ncomunsuni.
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.
Ndandangeti, abo mbomwalampa babe pamo nenjame uko nkoshi nkabe. Ndandangeti babone bulemu bwakame mbomwalampa, pakwinga mwalansuna kendi nkacitana cilengwa cishi capanshi.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
Omwalulama Ta, cishi capanshi ciliya kumwinshiba sobwe, nsombi ame ndimwinshi, kayi aba bacinsheti njamwe mwalantuma.
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.”
Ndalabenshibisha Lina lyenu, kayi ninkapitilishe kubeyisha kwambeti lusuno ndomukute palinjame lube mulyendibo, kwambeti nenjame mbe mulyendibo.
