Yuhana 17

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

After Jesus said these things, he lifted up his eyes to the heavens and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son so that the Son will glorify you—

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

just as you gave him authority over all flesh so that he would give eternal life to everyone whom 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)

This is eternal life: That they know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)

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

I glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work that you 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.

Now, Father, glorify me along with yourself with the glory that I had with you before the world was made.

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

I revealed your name to the people whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and 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 that 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 all the words that you gave me. They received them and truly knew 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 pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom 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.

Everything that is mine is yours, and yours is 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.

I am no longer in the world, but these people are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me so that they will 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, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I protected them, and not one of them was destroyed, except for the son of destruction, so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.

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

Now I am coming to you, but I am saying these things in the world so that they will have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

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 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 for you to take them away from the world, but for you 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.

Set them apart by the truth. Your word is truth.

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

Just as you 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 have set myself apart, so that they themselves may also be set apart in truth.

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

I pray not only for these, but also for 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.

so that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world will believe that you have sent me.

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

The glory that you gave me, I have given to them, so that they will 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 you in me—that they may be brought to complete unity, so that the world will know that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you 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, and to see my glory, the glory you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

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

Righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I know you; and these 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.”

I made your name known to them, and I will make it known so that the love with which you have loved me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
