Jan 17

1 Apre Jezi fin pale konsa, li leve je l' anlè nan syèl la, li di: O Papa, lè a rive. Fè yo wè bèl pouvwa Pitit la, pou Pitit la ka fè yo wè bèl pouvwa ou la tou.

After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes heavenwards, and said: ‘Father, the hour has come; honour your Son, so that your Son may honour you;

2 Ou te ba l' otorite sou tout moun pou l' te kapab bay tout moun ou ba li yo lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)

even as you gave him power over all humanity, so that he should give eternal life to everyone you have given him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Lavi ki p'ap janm fini an, se pou yo konnen ou, ou menm ki sèl Bondye tout bon an, ansanm ak moun ou voye a: Jezikri. (aiōnios g166)

And the eternal life is this – to know you the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent as your messenger. (aiōnios g166)

4 Mwen te fè yo wè bèl pouvwa ou sou tè sa a. Mwen fè tou sa ou te ban m' fè.

I have honoured you on earth by completing the work which you have given me to do;

5 Koulye a, Papa, ban mwen bèl pouvwa devan je ou, menm pouvwa mwen te genyen lè m' te avè ou la depi anvan ou te kreye tout bagay.

and now do you honour me, Father, at your own side, with the honour which I had at your side before the world began.

6 Moun ou te mete apa nan lemonn pou mwen yo, mwen fè yo konnen ki moun ou ye. Se pou ou yo te ye. Se ou menm ki te ban mwen yo. Epi yo kenbe pawòl ou.

I have revealed you to those whom you gave me from the world; they were your own, and you gave them to me; and they have laid your message to heart.

7 Koulye a, yo konnen tou sa ou ban mwen se nan men ou yo soti.

They recognise now that everything that you gave me was from you;

8 Paske mwen ba yo pawòl ou te ban mwen an. Yo resevwa li. Yo rekonèt mwen soti tout bon bò kote ou, yo kwè se ou ki voye m' vre.

for I have given them the teaching which you gave me, and they received it, and clearly understood that I came from you, and they believed that you have sent me as your messenger.

9 M'ap lapriyè pou yo. Mwen p'ap lapriyè pou moun lemonn yo, men pou moun ou ban mwen yo, paske se pou ou yo ye.

I intercede for them; I am not interceding for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are your own –

10 Tou sa m' genyen se pou ou, tou sa ou genyen se pou mwen. Pouvwa mwen parèt aklè nan yo.

All that is mine is yours, and all that is yours is mine – and I am honoured in them.

11 Mwen pa nan lemonn lan ankò. Men yo menm, yo nan lemonn lan toujou. Mwen menm, m'ap vin jwenn ou. Papa, ou menm ki apa, pwoteje yo pa pouvwa non ou, menm non ou te ban mwen an, pou yo ka fè yon sèl menm jan ou fè yon sèl avèk mwen.

Now I am to be in this world no longer, but they are still to be in the world, and I am to come to you. Holy Father, keep them by that revelation of your name which you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are.

12 Pandan m' te la avèk yo, mwen te pwoteje yo ak pouvwa non ou, menm non ou te ban mwen an. Mwen te pwoteje yo: yo yonn pa t' pèdi, esepte nonm ki pou te pèdi a, pou sa ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre.

While I was with them, I kept them by that revelation, and I have guarded them; and not one of them has been lost, except that lost soul – in fulfilment of scripture.

13 Koulye a, m'ap vin jwenn ou. M'ap pale konsa pandan m' sou latè a, pou jan kè m' kontan an se konsa pou kè yo ka kontan tou nèt ale.

But now I am to come to you; and I am speaking like this, while still in the world, so that they may have my own joy, in all its fullness, in their hearts.

14 Mwen te ba yo pawòl ou; lemonn rayi yo paske yo menm yo pa moun lemonn, menm jan mwen menm mwen pa moun lemonn.

I have given them your message; and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.

15 Mwen pa mande ou pou wete yo nan lemonn lan, men pou ou pwoteje yo anba Satan.

I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.

16 Yo pa moun lemonn, menm jan mwen pa moun lemonn.

They do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.

17 Fè yo viv pou ou nèt gremesi verite a. Pawòl ou se verite a.

Consecrate them by the truth; your message is truth.

18 Mwen voye yo nan lemonn lan menm jan ou te voye m' nan lemonn lan.

Just as you have sent me as your messenger to the world, so I send them as my messengers to the world.

19 Se pou yo m'ap viv jan ou vle l' la, pou yo menm tou yo ka viv jan ou vle l' la, gremesi verite a.

And it is for their sakes that I am consecrating myself, so that they also may be truly consecrated.

20 Se pa pou yo sèlman m'ap lapriyè, men pou tout moun ki va mete konfyans yo nan mwen lè y'a tande mesaj la.

But it is not only for them that I am interceding, but also for those who believe in me through their message,

21 M'ap lapriyè pou yo tout fè yon sèl. Papa, se pou yo tout fè yonn ansanm ak nou, menm jan ou menm ou nan mwen, mwen menm mwen nan ou. Se pou yo tout fè yon sèl pou moun ki nan lemonn yo ka kwè se ou ki te voye mwen.

that they all may be one – that as you, Father, are in union with us – and so the world may believe that you have sent me as your messenger.

22 Mwen te ba yo menm pouvwa ou te ban mwen an, pou yo tout te ka fè yonn menm jan ou fè yon sèl avè m' tou:

I have given them the honour which you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one –

23 mwen nan yo, ou nan mwen, pou yo tout fè yon sèl nèt ale, pou moun ki nan lemonn yo ka rive rekonèt se ou ki te voye m', pou yo ka rive konnen ou renmen yo menm jan ou renmen m' lan.

I in union with them and you with me – so that they may be perfected in their union, and so that the world may know that you have sent me as your messenger, and that you have loved them as you have loved me.

24 Papa, se ou ki te ban mwen yo. Mwen ta vle pou yo toujou avè m' kote m' prale a, pou yo ka wè pouvwa mwen, pouvwa ou te ban mwen an, paske ou te renmen m' depi lontan anvan ou te kreye tout bagay.

Father, my desire for all those whom you have given me is that they may be with me where I am, so that they may see the honour which you have given me; for you did love me before the beginning of the world.

25 O Papa, ou menm ki fè tout bagay byen, moun ki nan lemonn yo pa konnen ou. Men mwen menm, mwen konnen ou. Moun sa yo konnen se ou ki te voye mwen.

Righteous Father, though the world did not know you, I knew you; and these people knew that you have sent me as your messenger.

26 Mwen te fè yo konnen ki moun ou ye. M'ap kontinye fè sa toujou, pou kalite renmen ou gen pou mwen an ka nan yo, pou mwen menm mwen ka nan yo tou.

I have made you known to them, and will do so still; that the love that you have had for me may be in their hearts, and that I may be in them also.’
