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.
Apre Jezi fin pale konsa, li leve je l' anlè nan syèl la, li di: O Papa, lè a rive. Fè yo wè bèl pouvwa Pitit la, pou Pitit la ka fè yo wè bèl pouvwa ou la tou.
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)
Ou te ba l' otorite sou tout moun pou l' te kapab bay tout moun ou ba li yo lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (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)
Lavi ki p'ap janm fini an, se pou yo konnen ou, ou menm ki sèl Bondye tout bon an, ansanm ak moun ou voye a: Jezikri. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
Mwen te fè yo wè bèl pouvwa ou sou tè sa a. Mwen fè tou sa ou te ban m' fè.
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.”
Koulye a, Papa, ban mwen bèl pouvwa devan je ou, menm pouvwa mwen te genyen lè m' te avè ou la depi anvan ou te kreye tout bagay.
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.
Moun ou te mete apa nan lemonn pou mwen yo, mwen fè yo konnen ki moun ou ye. Se pou ou yo te ye. Se ou menm ki te ban mwen yo. Epi yo kenbe pawòl ou.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
Koulye a, yo konnen tou sa ou ban mwen se nan men ou yo soti.
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.
Paske mwen ba yo pawòl ou te ban mwen an. Yo resevwa li. Yo rekonèt mwen soti tout bon bò kote ou, yo kwè se ou ki voye m' vre.
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.
M'ap lapriyè pou yo. Mwen p'ap lapriyè pou moun lemonn yo, men pou moun ou ban mwen yo, paske se pou ou yo ye.
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.
Tou sa m' genyen se pou ou, tou sa ou genyen se pou mwen. Pouvwa mwen parèt aklè nan yo.
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.
Mwen pa nan lemonn lan ankò. Men yo menm, yo nan lemonn lan toujou. Mwen menm, m'ap vin jwenn ou. Papa, ou menm ki apa, pwoteje yo pa pouvwa non ou, menm non ou te ban mwen an, pou yo ka fè yon sèl menm jan ou fè yon sèl avèk mwen.
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].
Pandan m' te la avèk yo, mwen te pwoteje yo ak pouvwa non ou, menm non ou te ban mwen an. Mwen te pwoteje yo: yo yonn pa t' pèdi, esepte nonm ki pou te pèdi a, pou sa ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre.
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.
Koulye a, m'ap vin jwenn ou. M'ap pale konsa pandan m' sou latè a, pou jan kè m' kontan an se konsa pou kè yo ka kontan tou nèt ale.
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].
Mwen te ba yo pawòl ou; lemonn rayi yo paske yo menm yo pa moun lemonn, menm jan mwen menm mwen pa moun lemonn.
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.
Mwen pa mande ou pou wete yo nan lemonn lan, men pou ou pwoteje yo anba Satan.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
Yo pa moun lemonn, menm jan mwen pa moun lemonn.
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.
Fè yo viv pou ou nèt gremesi verite a. Pawòl ou se verite a.
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
Mwen voye yo nan lemonn lan menm jan ou te voye m' nan lemonn lan.
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
Se pou yo m'ap viv jan ou vle l' la, pou yo menm tou yo ka viv jan ou vle l' la, gremesi verite a.
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.
Se pa pou yo sèlman m'ap lapriyè, men pou tout moun ki va mete konfyans yo nan mwen lè y'a tande mesaj la.
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.
M'ap lapriyè pou yo tout fè yon sèl. Papa, se pou yo tout fè yonn ansanm ak nou, menm jan ou menm ou nan mwen, mwen menm mwen nan ou. Se pou yo tout fè yon sèl pou moun ki nan lemonn yo ka kwè se ou ki te voye mwen.
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
Mwen te ba yo menm pouvwa ou te ban mwen an, pou yo tout te ka fè yonn menm jan ou fè yon sèl avè m' tou:
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.
mwen nan yo, ou nan mwen, pou yo tout fè yon sèl nèt ale, pou moun ki nan lemonn yo ka rive rekonèt se ou ki te voye m', pou yo ka rive konnen ou renmen yo menm jan ou renmen m' lan.
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.
Papa, se ou ki te ban mwen yo. Mwen ta vle pou yo toujou avè m' kote m' prale a, pou yo ka wè pouvwa mwen, pouvwa ou te ban mwen an, paske ou te renmen m' depi lontan anvan ou te kreye tout bagay.
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.
O Papa, ou menm ki fè tout bagay byen, moun ki nan lemonn yo pa konnen ou. Men mwen menm, mwen konnen ou. Moun sa yo konnen se ou ki te voye mwen.
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].”
Mwen te fè yo konnen ki moun ou ye. M'ap kontinye fè sa toujou, pou kalite renmen ou gen pou mwen an ka nan yo, pou mwen menm mwen ka nan yo tou.
