Yuhana 17

1 Meng Yesu nbelle ilenge imone, a ghantina iyizi me kitene Kutelle aworo, “Ucif, kube nda; ta Usaunfe gongong-

When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

2 nafo na una nighe tigo kitene nanan tilai vat, bara anan na alenge na una nige ulai nsa ligang. (aiōnios g166)

For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Ulai un saligaghere ulele: inan yininfi, fere cas Kutelle kidegen, a ame ulenge na una tuu, Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 Meng ntafi gongong in yie, na nna kulo katwa ka na unani nsu.

I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.

5 Nene, Ucif, tye ngogong umunu litife wang nin nimus ngongon mongo na nwa dimun ninfi a uyie dutu sa ukye.

And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.

6 Nna durso lissafe kiti nanit alenge na una ni nanyan yii. Inung anit fere, umini na ni inung, inani din dortu ulirufe.

I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

7 Nene inung yiru vat nimon ile na una nii, inan nuzu kitifere,

Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.

8 uliru fe na una nii, nna ni nani uliru une. Ina seru tining, inani na yinin kidegenere nna dak unuzu kitife, inani na yinin fere na tuyi.

For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

9 Ndi nani nlira, na ndi su uyii nlira ba, ama inung alenge na unayi, inung anit fere.

I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.

10 Vat nimon ilenge na idi inang, in fere, imongfe inanghari. Meng ta gongon nanya ni ning.

All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.

11 Na meng du nanya nyie ba, ama inung anit ane di nanya nyie. Meng din cinu udak kitife. Ucif ulau mino nani nanya lissafe inung alenge na una nii, inan so unit urum, nafo na arik di urume.

I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

12 Kube na nwa di nan ghinu, nwa ceo nani nanya lissa fe alenge na uwa nii; nwa kesse nani, na unit urum na wolu ba, se ame gonon nnanu, bara ulirufe nan se ukulu.

While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

13 Nene ndincinu udak kitife; ama ndin bellu ile imone nanya nyi, bara ayiabo mine nan se ukulu nati mine.

But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

14 Nna ninani ulirufe, uyi na nari inung, bara na inung anan yieri ba, nafo na meng kunan yiere ba.

I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

15 Na ndi nlira ukala nani nanya inyieba ama u kesse nani nin nanan naburi asirne.

I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.

16 Na inung anan yiere ba, nafo na meng kunan yieri ba.

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17 Kusu wesse nani nin kidegen, ulirufe kidegenghari.

Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

18 Una tuyi nanya nyii, meng uni na tuu nani nanya yie.

As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.

19 Bara inung, meng na wesse litinighe, inung atimine wang nan se uwessu nanya kidegene.

For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

20 Na bara alele cas ndin su nlira ba, umunu alenge vat na ima yinnu unuzun liru mine.

I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

21 Bara inan so arume vat, nafo nafe Ucif, udi nanya ning, a meng yita nanyafe. Ndin lira inung wang yita nanya bite uyie nan yinna fere na tuyi.

that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22 Ngongonghe na una nii, nna nii nani unin, inung wang nan yita urum, nafo na arike di arum-

I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—

23 Meng nanya mine, a fe nanya ning, inan se ukulu nanyan warume; bara uyie nan yinno fere na tuyi, umini dinin su mine nafo na udinin su ninghe.

I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.

24 Ucif, aleli na una nii wang. Ndin piziru inung yita nan mi kiti kanga na nduku, inan yene ngongong nighe, mongo na uwa nii: bara udi nin su nighe a i ditu sa ucizinun kye in yii.

Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25 Ucif katwa kacine, na uyii yirufi ba, ama meng yirufi, inung alele yiru fere na tuyi.

Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

26 Nna durso nani lissafe, tutung nba ti nani iyinin bara usuwe na udi mun nan yita nati mine, meng wang nan yita nanya mine.”

And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
