Yohana 17

1 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵalolite kwinani ni kuti, “Atati, katema kaiche. Mwape ukulu Mwana gwenu kuti Mwana gwenu nombe ampe ukulu.

These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee:

2 Pakuŵa mwapele Mwana gwenu ulamusi pa ŵandu wose kuti ŵandu wose umwapele ŵape umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)

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

3 Ni umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wo ni au, ŵandu ammanyilile mmwe ŵandi Akunnungu ŵamope ŵa usyene, ni kwamanya Che Yesu Kilisito umwatumile. (aiōnios g166)

And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, [even] Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)

4 Uneji jwammale kunkusya pachilambo kwa kumalisya masengo gamwambele kuti nagapanganye.

I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.

5 Atati ŵangu, sambano mumbe ukulu paujo penu, ukulu ulaula unakwete pamo nomwe, chikanaŵe gumbikwa chilambo.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

6 “Nantesile mmanyiche ni ŵandu umwambele pachilambo ŵala. Ŵanyawo ŵaliji ŵenu ni mwambele uneji kuti aŵe ŵangu, nombewo alijitichisye liloŵe lyenu.

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

7 Sambano ŵanyawo akuimanyilila kuti yose imwambele uneji ityosile kukwenu.

Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:

8 Pakuŵa maloŵe gamwambele uneji napele ŵanyawo, ni ŵanyawo akugakulupilila maloŵe go. Akumanyilila kwa isyene kuti natyochele kukwenu, ni sooni ajitichisye kuti mmwe ni jumwandumile une.

for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received [them], and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.

9 “Ngwapopelela ŵanyawo. Ngangwapopelela ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo, nambo ŵele umwambele wo pakuŵa ali ŵenu.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:

10 Wose ungwete ali ŵenu, ni ŵenu ali ŵangu, ni ukulu wangu uwoneche kwa litala lya ŵele umwambele wo.

and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.

11 Ni sambano ngwika kukwenu, uneji nguuŵa sooni pachilambo, nambo aŵaŵa alinji pachilambo. Atati ŵangu Ŵaswela mwagose kwa machili ga liina lyenu limumbele, kuti aŵe ŵamo mpela une ni mmwe ituli ŵamo.

And I am no more 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, even as we [are].

12 Panaliji pamo nawo, une naagosile kwa machili ga liina lyenu limumbele, naagosile ni ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwasochele ikaŵe ajula juŵasagulikwe kujonasika, kuti Malembelo ga Akunnungu gamalile.

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

13 Nambo sambano ngwika kukwenu, nguŵecheta gelega pachilambo kuti ŵanyawo agumbale kusengwa kwangu mmitima jao.

But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 Une napele liloŵe lyenu, ni ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ŵaachimile ŵanyawo pakuŵa ŵanyawo nganaŵa ŵa pachilambo, mpela ila uneji nganima jwa pachilambo.

I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 Nganguŵenda kuti mmwe mwatyosye mchilambo, nambo ngupopela mwagose ni Shetani jwaali jwangalumbana.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil [one].

16 Ŵanyawo nganaŵa ŵa pachilambo pano, uneji nombe nganiŵa jwa pachilambo.

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

17 Mwatende aŵe ŵandu ŵenu ŵaswela kwa litala lya usyene, liloŵe lyenu lili usyene.

Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.

18 Mpela ila imwatite pakunduma une mchilambo, ni une nombe natumile ŵelewo mchilambo.

As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.

19 Une ngulityosya nansyene kwaligongo lyao, kuti nombewo alityosye kusyene kukwenu.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

20 “Ngangwapopelela ŵanyawo pe, nambo ngwapopelela nombe ŵandu wose ŵachangulupilile kwaligongo lya majiganyo gao.

Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;

21 Ngupopela kuti wose aŵe chindu chimo. Atati, ngupopela kuti atame nkati mwetu mpela ila mmwe inkuti kutama nkati mwangu, noneji inguti kutama nkati mwenu. Ngupopela aŵe chindu chimo kuti ŵandu ŵa pachilambo akulupilile kuti mmwe ni jumundumile une.

that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

22 Noneji naapele ukulu ulaula umwambele uneji, kuti aŵeje ŵamo mpela ila uweji ituli ŵamo.

And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we [are] one;

23 Uneji ndame mwa ŵanyawo nombe mmwe mwa uneji. Atendekwe kuŵa ŵamo, ni ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo amanyilile kuti mmwe ni jumwandumile ni kuti nkwanonyela ŵelewo mpela inkuti pakunonyela uneji.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

24 “Atati, wose umumbele ngusaka aŵeje pamo ni uneji pepala pandili une kuti aulole ukulu wangu, ukulu umumbele ligongo mwanonyele uneji chilambo chikanigumbikwe.

Father, that which thou hast given me, I will 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 Atati ŵambone, namuno ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ngakummanya nambo uneji nammanyi. Ŵelewo nombe akumanyilila kuti mmwe mwandumile une.

O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me;

26 Nantesile mmanyiche kukwao, nombe chimbundisye kutenda yeleyo kuti unonyelo undi nawo kukwangu uŵe mwa ŵanyawo, ni uneji meje mwa ŵanyawo.”

and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.
