Yuhana 17

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

When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the 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)

even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)

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

And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing 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 earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine 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, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence 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 Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.

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

Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from 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 truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me.

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

"I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,

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

and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory 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 now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.

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 true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may 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 Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.

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 Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

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

I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

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

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

17 Kusu wesse nani nin kidegen, ulirufe kidegenghari.

Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.

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

Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;

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

and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.

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

"Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;

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, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send 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, 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 Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which 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, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.

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

And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send 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 Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
