Jan Laabaalihamo 17

1 Jesu n den maadi lani o den yaadi ki nuali tanpoli ki yedi: Baa uyogunu pundi, kpiagi abijua ke abijua mo n kpiagi a.

When Jesus finished saying this he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you.

2 Kelima adini o li bali ke o die bi nisaaliba kuli, ke wan fidi ki pa han puni o yaaba kuli yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)

For you gave him authority over all people so that he might give eternal life to all those you have given to him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Ki sua ya miali n kan gbeni mo tie ban bandi fini yua bebe n tie U Tienu imoamoani leni han soani yua Jesu Kilisiti. (aiōnios g166)

Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 N kpiagi a ki tinga nni, n soani ki dudi han puogi nni yaa tuoli kuli.

I have brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.

5 Baa kpiagi nni anintuali moala nani min den kpa pia yaa kpiagidi hali ke handuna daa tagi, anintuali.

Now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the beginning of the world.

6 N teni ke han puni nni yaaba, handuna siiga kuli bandi ayeli, bi den tie a yaaba ke a taa ba ki puni nni, bi kubi a maama.

I have revealed your character to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you; you gave them to me; and they have done what you said.

7 Moala bi bandi ke han puni nni yaala kuli ñani a yaa kani,

Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.

8 kelima n caaba a tondu, bi mo gaa ki bandi ke n ñani a kani moamoani, ki go daani ke fini n soani nni.

I have given them the message that you gave me. They accepted it, completely convinced that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

9 N miadi a bi yaapo yo. Mii miadi a handuna po ka, n miadi a han puni nni yaaba yaapo yo, kelima bi tie a yaaba.

I'm praying for them—not for the world, but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.

10 Min die yaala kuli tie a yaala, han die yaala mo kuli tie n yaala. N baa ti kpiagidi kelima bi yaapo.

All who belong to me are yours, and those who belong to you are mine, and I have been glorified through them.

11 N kan go yaa ye handuna nni, ama ban wani baa ye handuna nni, n kpendi a kani, Baa yua n gagidi, kubi han puni nni yaaba yeni kelima a yeli po. Ke ban tua yendo nani mini leni fini n tie yendo maama.

I am leaving the world, but they will remain in the world; I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name, the name that you gave to me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

12 Min den ye leni ba handuna nni yaa yogunu n den kubi ba kelima a yeli po. N den kubi han puni nni yaaba yeni ke bi siiga baa yendo n ki bodi, yua n den baa bodi i diani n kua yaaka.

While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you gave to me. I watched over them so that no one was lost except the ‘son of the lost,’ so Scripture was fulfilled.

13 Moala n kpendi a kani, n maadi laa maama ki da ye handuna nni, ke ban baa n yaa pamanli buolu cain.

Now I'm coming to you, and I say these things while I am still here in the world so they may share completely in my joy.

14 N waani ba a maama, handuna yaaba nani ba kelima baa go tie handuna yaaba, nani min ki tie handuna yua maama yeni.

I gave them your message, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.

15 Mii mia han ñani ba handuna nni ka, ama han kubi ba ke o biado n da paadi ba.

I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but for you to protect them from the evil one.

16 Baa tie handuna yaaba, nani min ki tie handuna yua maama yeni.

They are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.

17 Gagidi ki hanbi ba imoamoani nni kelima a maama tie imoamoani.

Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.

18 Nani han den soani nni handuna nni maama n moko soani ba handuna nni yene.

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

19 N gagidi ki hanbi n yuli apo bi nintuali, ke bani moko n gagidi ki hanbi bi yula apo imoamoani nni.

I dedicate myself for them so that they may also be truly holy.

20 Mii mia ha bani bebe yaapo ka, ama n mia ha leni yaaba n baa tuo bi maama ki daani n yeli nni kuli yaapo.

I'm not only praying for them, I'm also praying for those who trust in me because of their message.

21 Ke ban tua yendo nani fini Baa han ye n niinni ke n mo ye a niinni maama, bani moko ntua yendo yeni ke handuna yaaba n daani ke fini n soani nni.

I pray that they all may be one, just as you, Father, live in me, and I live in you, so that they too may live in us so that the world will believe you did send me.

22 N puni ba han puni nni yaa kpiagidi ke ban tua yendo nani tin tie yendo maama.

I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

23 N ye bi niinni amo ye n niinni ke ban tua yendo cain, ke handuna yaaba n bandi ke fini n soani nni, ki go bandi ke a bua ba nani han bua nni maama.

I live in them, and you live in me. May they be completely one, so the whole world will know that you did send me, and that you love them, just as you love me.

24 Baa, n bua ke min ye naani han puni nni yaaba yeni moko n yaa ye lankani, ke ban yaa nua n kpiagidi, han puni nni yaa kpiagidi kelima ha den bua nni hali ke handuna daa tagi.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so they can see the glory which you gave to me—for you loved me before the world was created.

25 Baa yua n gagidi handuna yaaba ki bani a, ama mini wani bani a, bi ne bandi ke fini n soani nni.

Good Father, the world does not know you, but I know you, and these here with me know that you sent me.

26 N teni ke bi bandi a yeli n go baa teni ban bandili ki pugini ke han bua nni yaa buama n dagidi bi pala nni, ke mini mo n yaa ye bi niinni.

I have revealed your character to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me will be in them, and I will live in them.”
