Yuhana 17
1 Meng Yesu nbelle ilenge imone, a ghantina iyizi me kitene Kutelle aworo, “Ucif, kube nda; ta Usaunfe gongong-
After saying these things, Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify yoʋr Son so that yoʋr Son may also glorify yoʋ,
2 nafo na una nighe tigo kitene nanan tilai vat, bara anan na alenge na una nige ulai nsa ligang. (aiōnios g166)
just as yoʋ have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom yoʋ 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)
This is eternal life, that they may know yoʋ, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom yoʋ have sent. (aiōnios g166)
4 Meng ntafi gongong in yie, na nna kulo katwa ka na unani nsu.
I have glorified yoʋ on earth. I have completed the work yoʋ have given 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 yoʋr presence with the glory that I had with yoʋ 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 yoʋr name to the people yoʋ have given me out of the world. They were yoʋrs; yoʋ gave them to me, and they have kept yoʋr word.
7 Nene inung yiru vat nimon ile na una nii, inan nuzu kitifere,
They now know that everything yoʋ have given me is from yoʋ.
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 that yoʋ gave me, and they have received them and truly know that I came from yoʋ. They have also come to believe that yoʋ 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 yoʋ have given me, for they are yoʋrs.
10 Vat nimon ilenge na idi inang, in fere, imongfe inanghari. Meng ta gongon nanya ni ning.
All I have is yoʋrs, and all yoʋ have is mine, and I have been 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.
I will no longer remain in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to yoʋ. Holy Father, keep them in yoʋr name, which yoʋ have given me, so that they may be one, just 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 in the world, I kept them in yoʋr name. I have guarded those yoʋ have given me, and not one of them has perished except the son of destruction, so 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.
But now I am coming to yoʋ, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made full 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 yoʋr word, and the world has hated them because 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 do not ask yoʋ to take them out of the world, but to 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 yoʋr truth; yoʋr word is truth.
18 Una tuyi nanya nyii, meng uni na tuu nani nanya yie.
Just as yoʋ have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19 Bara inung, meng na wesse litinighe, inung atimine wang nan se uwessu nanya kidegene.
For their sakes 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 do not ask on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in 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 all be one, just as yoʋ, Father, are in me, and I am in yoʋ, that they also may be one in us, so that the world may believe that yoʋ 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 that yoʋ gave me, so that they may be one, just 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 yoʋ in me, so that they may be perfected into one, and so that the world may know that yoʋ have sent me and have loved them just as yoʋ 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 yoʋ have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, which yoʋ gave me because yoʋ 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, though the world does not know yoʋ, I know yoʋ, and these men know that yoʋ have 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.”
I have made yoʋr name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which yoʋ have loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.”
