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 kaa saa nsɛm yi wiee no, ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro bɔɔ mpae se, “Agya, bere no adu. Hyɛ wo Ba no anuonyam, na Ɔba no nso nhyɛ wo anuonyam.
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)
Womaa no nnipa nyinaa so tumi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma wɔn a wode wɔn maa no no nkwa a enni awiei. (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)
Na ɔkwan a wɔnam so benya nkwa a enni awiei ne sɛ, wobehu Onyankopɔn koro nokwafo no ne Yesu Kristo a wosomaa no baa asase so no! (aiōnios g166)
4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
Mawie adwuma a wode hyɛɛ me nsa no yɛ nam so ada wʼanuonyam adi akyerɛ wɔ asase so.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
Na afei, Agya, fa anuonyam a mewɔ wɔ wʼanim ansa na wobɔ wiase no hyɛ me wɔ wʼanim ha.
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.
“Mama nnipa a na anka wɔte wiase a wode wɔn hyɛɛ me nsa no ahu wo. Na wɔyɛ wo de na wode wɔn maa me. Wɔatie wʼasɛm.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
Afei, wɔahu sɛ biribiara a wode ama me no fi wo nkyɛn.
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.
Mekaa asɛm a woka kyerɛɛ me se menka nkyerɛ wɔn no kyerɛɛ wɔn na wotiei. Wonim sɛ ɛyɛ nokware sɛ mifi wo nkyɛn na mebae. Na wogye di sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
Mebɔ mpae ma wɔn. Memmɔ mpae mma wɔn a wonnye wʼasɛm nni, na mmom nnipa a wode wɔn maa me no na mebɔ mpae ma wɔn, efisɛ wɔyɛ wo de.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
Biribiara a mewɔ no yɛ wo de na biribiara a wowɔ no nso yɛ me de. Ɛnam eyinom so ama manya anuonyam.
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.
Na afei, merefi wiase na magyaw wɔn wɔ akyi aba wo nkyɛn. Agya Kronkron, wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no, fa wo din a tumi wɔ mu no bɔ wɔn ho ban na wɔayɛ baako sɛnea wo ne me yɛ baako no.
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.
Bere a me ne wɔn wɔ hɔ no, mede tumi a wode maa me no hwɛɛ wɔn so. Mebɔɔ wɔn ho ban, na wɔn mu biara anyera, gye onipa a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyera no nko ara, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kyerɛwsɛm no bɛba mu.
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.
“Afei mereba wo nkyɛn. Maka saa nsɛm yi nyinaa bere a meda so wɔ wiase yi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mʼanigye bɛhyɛ wɔn ma.
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.
Mekaa wʼasɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn na wiasefo tan wɔn, efisɛ womfi wiase sɛnea me nso mimfi wiase no.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
Mimmisa wo sɛ yi wɔn fi wiase, na mmom mesrɛ sɛ bɔ wɔn ho ban fi ɔbonsam nsam.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Sɛnea mimfi wiase no, saa ara na wɔn nso mfi wiase.
17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
Fa wo nsɛm a ɛyɛ nokware no kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn na ɛntew wɔn ho mma ɛnyɛ wɔn kronkron.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
Sɛnea wosomaa me baa wiase no, saa ara na me nso meresoma wɔn akɔ wiase.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Wɔn nti mede me ho ma wo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn nso de wɔn ho nyinaa bɛma wo.
20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
“Memmɔ mpae mma wɔn nko. Mebɔ mpae ma wɔn a wɔnam asuafo asɛm a wɔbɛka no so agye adi no nso.
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.
Mebɔ mpae sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ baako. Agya, sɛnea wowɔ me mu na me nso mewɔ wo mu no, saa ara na ma wɔn nso ntena yɛn mu. Ma wɔn nyinaa nyɛ baako sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wiase begye adi sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
Mede anuonyam a wode hyɛɛ me a ɛmaa me ne wo yɛɛ baako no ahyɛ wɔn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn nso wɔbɛyɛ baako sɛnea yɛn nso yɛyɛ baako no.
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.
Mewɔ wɔn mu na wo nso wowɔ me mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn nyinaa bɛyɛ baako na wiase ahu sɛ wo na wosomaa me na wodɔ wɔn sɛnea wodɔ me no.
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.
“Agya, mepɛ sɛ wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no bɛka me ho wɔ faako a mewɔ no, na wɔahu mʼanuonyam, anuonyam a wode maa me no, efisɛ wodɔ me ansa na wobɔɔ wiase.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
“Agya Kronkron, wiase nnim wo nanso me de, minim wo; na asuafo yi nim sɛ wo na wosomaa me.
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.”
Mama wɔahu sɛnea wo te, na mɛkɔ so ayɛ saa daa, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔdɔ a wodɔ me no bɛtena wɔn nso mu na me nso matena wɔn mu bi.”
