Yuhana 17

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

These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;

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

as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

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

And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

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

I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;

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

and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.

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 manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.

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

Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;

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 the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received [them], and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.

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

I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,

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

(and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine, ) and I am glorified in them.

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.

And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.

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.

When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

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

And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in 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 thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

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

I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.

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

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

17 Kusu wesse nani nin kidegen, ulirufe kidegenghari.

Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.

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

As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world;

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

and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.

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

And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;

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 they may be all one, as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

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

And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, 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 thou in me, that they may be perfected into one [and] that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and [that] thou hast loved them as thou hast 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, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst 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, — and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast 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 known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.
