John 17

1 After Jesus said those things, he looked [up] toward heaven. Then he prayed, “[My] Father, it is now the time [MTY] [for me to suffer and die]. Honor me [as I do that], in order that I may honor you.

Jesu ing ve ak awi ak kqawn coengawh, khan benna mang nawh cykcah hy: “Ka Pa, a tym ing pha law hawh hy. Na Capa zoeksang lah, Capa ing nang ani zoeksangnaak a ham.

2 You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios g166)

Ceamyihna thlang boeih boeih ak khanawh saithainaak na peek ce, a venawh na peek thlang boeih kumqui hqingnaak a peek naak thai ham. (aiōnios g166)

3 [The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios g166)

Ve ve kumqui hqingnaak ni: nang Khawsa doeng ingkaw na tyih Jesu Khrih sim ve. (aiōnios g166)

4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.

Nang ing sai ham nani peek bi bi ce kak coengnaak ak caming khawmdek awh nang ming ce zoeksang hawh nyng.

5 [My] Father, now honor me when I am with you [again], by causing me to have the greatness I had when I was with you before the world began.”

Aw ka Pa, khawmdek a syn hlanawh na venawh zoeksangnaakna ka awm ce, tuhawh namah qoe ing ni zoeksang lah.

6 “I have revealed [what] you [are like] to the people whom you brought to me from among those who do not belong to you [MTY]. Those [who came to me] belonged to you, and you brought them to me. Now they have obeyed your message.

Nang ing khawmdek khui awhkawng ak cawn nani peek khqi venawh nang ming dangsak hawh nyng; amingmih taw na koe na awm unawh, nang ing nani peekkhqi na awm uhy; amingmih ing nak awipek ngaih uhy.

7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.

Ik-oeih nani peekkhqi boeih ce nang a venawh kaw ni tice tuh sim hawh uhy.

8 I gave them the message that you gave me, and they have accepted it. They now know for certain that I came from you. They now believe that you sent me.

Nang ing nani peek awikhqi ce cekkhqi venawh pe nyng saw a mingmih ing do uhy. Kai ve nang a venawh kawng ni a law, tice ak ceet cana sim hawh uhy, nang ing ni a tyih ti awm cangna hawh uhy.

9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for those [who do not belong to you] [MTY]. Instead, [I am praying] for those whom you have brought to me, because they belong to you.

A mingmih aham cykcah nyng. Khawmdek aham am cykcah nyng, cehlai nang ing nani peek thlangkhqi hamna ni kak cykcah, na koena awm unawh.

10 All [the disciples] that I have belong to you, and all those who belong to you also belong to me. They have shown how great I am.

Kai ing ka taakkhqi boeih ce nang a koe ni, nang ing na taakkhqi boeih awm nang a koe ni. A mingmih awh zoeksangnaak ce ka venawh awm hy.

11 I will not be [staying] in the world any longer. I will be coming back to you. They, however, will be [here] in the world [among those who are opposed to you]. [My] Holy Father, protect them from spiritual harm by your power [MTY], the power that you gave me, in order that they may be united as we are united.

Khawmdek awh khawqyt am awm voel kawng, cehlai a mingmih taw khawmdek awh awm hyn kawm uh, kai taw nang a venna law hawh kawng nyng. Ka Pa Ciimcaih, nang ming saithainaak ing a mingmih ce chungdah khqi lah – ningnih pynoet na ni awm amyihna a mingmih awm pynoet na ami awmnaak thai aham.

12 While I have been with them, I have [completely] protected them by the power [MTY] that you gave me. As a result, only one of them will be eternally separated from you. He is the one who was doomed to be eternally separated from you. [That has happened] to fulfill [what a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [would happen].

Vekkhqi mi ka awm awh, nang ing nani peek ming ing a mingmih ce chung ak dah khqi nyng saw a nep cana khoem nyng. Cak Ciim a soepnaak aham, ak qeng thlang pynoet ti kaa taw, pynoet awm am qeng ti kawm uh.

13 [Father], now I am about to return to you. I have said these things while I am still [here] in the world in order that my [disciples] may fully experience being joyful, as I have been joyful.

Tuh nang a venna law hly hawh nyng, cehlai ve khawmdek awh ka awm hyn awh, kai a zeelnaak ce a mingmih ak khuiawh ak be na ami taaknaak thai aham, vekhqi ve kqawn nyng.

14 I have given them your message. As a result, those who are opposed to you [MTY] have hated them, because [my disciples] do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY], just like I do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY].

Nak awi ce a mingmih a venawh pe hawh nyng, kai khawmdek a koena am ka awm amyihna, a mingmih awm khawmdek a koena a mami awm a dawngawh, khawmdek ing a mingmih ce sawh nak khqi hawh hy.

15 I am asking you, not that you take them out of this world, but instead that you protect them from [Satan], the evil one.

Khawmdek awhkawng ak chang na a mingmih ce khyn valh aham am cykcah nyng, cehlai them che ak khuiawh kawng a mingmih ce chungdah ahamni kak cykcah.

16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.

Kai khawmdek a koena am ka awm lawt amyihna, a mingmih awm khawmdek a koena am awm uhy.

17 Set [my disciples] apart so that they may (completely belong to/serve) you, by [enabling them to live in accordance with] what is true. Your message is true.

Awitak ing a mingmih ce ciimcaih sak lah; nak awi taw awitak ni.

18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.

Khawmdek na nang ing nani tyih amyihna, kai ingawm a mingmih ce khawmdek awh tyi khqi nyng.

19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”

A mingmih aham kamah ingkaw kamah ciim qunyng, a mingmih awm ami ciim lawt ham awm hy.

20 “I am praying not only for these [eleven disciples]. I am praying also for those who [will] believe in me as a result of [hearing] their message.

A mingmih aham doeng am cykcah nyng. A mingmih ing awi amik khypyi ak camawh ak cangnaak hly kawi thlangkhqi ham awm cykcah nyng.

21 [My] Father, [I want] all of them to be united, just like I am united with you because of my relationship with you, and as you are united with me because of your relationship with me. I also want them to be united with us. [I want that to happen] so that those who do not know you [MTY] may know that you sent me.

Ka Pa, kai ak khuiawh nang awm tiksaw, nang ak khuiawh kai ka awm amyihna, a mingmih pynoet na ami awmnaak thai aham cykcah nyng. Nang ing kai ni tyi hyk ti tice khawmdek ing cangna thai nawh ningnih ak khuiawh a mingmih ami awmnaak thai aham cykcah nyng.

22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.

Nyngnih pynoet na ni awm amyihna a mingmih awm pynoet na ami awmnaak aham, nang ing nani peek zoeksangnaak ce a mingmih a venawh pe khqi nyng.

23 I want them to be united just like they are united with me and as you are united with me. May they be completely united, in order that those who do not belong to you [MTY] may know that you sent me and that you have loved them just like you have loved me.

A mingmih ak khuiawh kai awm nyng kai ak khuiawh nang awm hyk ti. Nang ing kai ni tyi nawh kai nani lungnaak amyihna a mingmih awm lungna hyk ti tice khawmdek sim sak aham a mingmih ce pynoet na coeng sak lah.

24 [My] Father, I want [the disciples] you have brought to me to [some day] be with me [in heaven], where I will be. I want them to see my greatness. I want them to see the greatness you gave me because you loved me. You gave me that greatness before you created the world.

Ka Pa, nang ing nani peekkhqi ve, nang ing khawmdek a syn hlanawh ni lungna nawh nani peek kai a boeimangnaak ce huh sak aham, kamah ka awmnaak awh awm sak lawt aham ngaih nyng.

25 [My] righteous Father, although the people who do not belong to you [MTY] do not know what you [are like], I know what you [are like], and my disciples know that you sent me.

Ak dyng ka Pa, khawmdek ing nang ce amni sim seiawm, kai ing nang ce ni sim nyng, nang ing ni tyi hyk ti tice a mingmih ing sim hawh uhy.

26 I have revealed to them [what] you [are like], and I will continue to reveal to them [what] you [are like]. I will do that in order that they may love [others] just like you love me, and in order that I may be in them [by my Spirit].”

A mingmih a venawh nang ming ce khypyi hawh nyng, nang ing kai nani lungnaak ce a mingmih a venawh awm nawh kamah qoe ce a mingmih a venawh ka awm thainaak aham, nang ming ce khypyi hyn kawng nyng,” tinawh cykcah hy.
