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 n den maadi lani o den yaadi ki nuali tanpoli ki yedi: Baa uyogunu pundi, kpiagi abijua ke abijua mo n kpiagi a.
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)
Kelima adini o li bali ke o die bi nisaaliba kuli, ke wan fidi ki pa han puni o yaaba kuli yaa miali n kan gbeni. (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)
Ki sua ya miali n kan gbeni mo tie ban bandi fini yua bebe n tie U Tienu imoamoani leni han soani yua Jesu Kilisiti. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
N kpiagi a ki tinga nni, n soani ki dudi han puogi nni yaa tuoli kuli.
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.”
Baa kpiagi nni anintuali moala nani min den kpa pia yaa kpiagidi hali ke handuna daa tagi, anintuali.
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.
N teni ke han puni nni yaaba, handuna siiga kuli bandi ayeli, bi den tie a yaaba ke a taa ba ki puni nni, bi kubi a maama.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
Moala bi bandi ke han puni nni yaala kuli ñani a yaa kani,
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.
kelima n caaba a tondu, bi mo gaa ki bandi ke n ñani a kani moamoani, ki go daani ke fini n soani nni.
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.
N miadi a bi yaapo yo. Mii miadi a handuna po ka, n miadi a han puni nni yaaba yaapo yo, kelima bi tie a yaaba.
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.
Min die yaala kuli tie a yaala, han die yaala mo kuli tie n yaala. N baa ti kpiagidi kelima bi yaapo.
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.
N kan go yaa ye handuna nni, ama ban wani baa ye handuna nni, n kpendi a kani, Baa yua n gagidi, kubi han puni nni yaaba yeni kelima a yeli po. Ke ban tua yendo nani mini leni fini n tie yendo maama.
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].
Min den ye leni ba handuna nni yaa yogunu n den kubi ba kelima a yeli po. N den kubi han puni nni yaaba yeni ke bi siiga baa yendo n ki bodi, yua n den baa bodi i diani n kua yaaka.
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.
Moala n kpendi a kani, n maadi laa maama ki da ye handuna nni, ke ban baa n yaa pamanli buolu cain.
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].
N waani ba a maama, handuna yaaba nani ba kelima baa go tie handuna yaaba, nani min ki tie handuna yua maama yeni.
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.
Mii mia han ñani ba handuna nni ka, ama han kubi ba ke o biado n da paadi ba.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
Baa tie handuna yaaba, nani min ki tie handuna yua maama yeni.
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.
Gagidi ki hanbi ba imoamoani nni kelima a maama tie imoamoani.
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
Nani han den soani nni handuna nni maama n moko soani ba handuna nni yene.
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
N gagidi ki hanbi n yuli apo bi nintuali, ke bani moko n gagidi ki hanbi bi yula apo imoamoani nni.
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.
Mii mia ha bani bebe yaapo ka, ama n mia ha leni yaaba n baa tuo bi maama ki daani n yeli nni kuli yaapo.
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.
Ke ban tua yendo nani fini Baa han ye n niinni ke n mo ye a niinni maama, bani moko ntua yendo yeni ke handuna yaaba n daani ke fini n soani nni.
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
N puni ba han puni nni yaa kpiagidi ke ban tua yendo nani tin tie yendo maama.
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.
N ye bi niinni amo ye n niinni ke ban tua yendo cain, ke handuna yaaba n bandi ke fini n soani nni, ki go bandi ke a bua ba nani han bua nni maama.
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.
Baa, n bua ke min ye naani han puni nni yaaba yeni moko n yaa ye lankani, ke ban yaa nua n kpiagidi, han puni nni yaa kpiagidi kelima ha den bua nni hali ke handuna daa tagi.
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.
Baa yua n gagidi handuna yaaba ki bani a, ama mini wani bani a, bi ne bandi ke fini n soani nni.
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].”
N teni ke bi bandi a yeli n go baa teni ban bandili ki pugini ke han bua nni yaa buama n dagidi bi pala nni, ke mini mo n yaa ye bi niinni.
