John 17
1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
UJesu wakhuluma lezizinto, waphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, wathi: Baba, ihola selifikile; dumisa iNdodana yakho, ukuze layo iNdodana yakho ikudumise;
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)
njengoba uyinikile amandla phezu kwayo yonke inyama, ukuze bonke obanike yona, ibanike impilo elaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)
Lalokhu yimpilo elaphakade, ukuthi bazi wena uNkulunkulu wedwa weqiniso, loJesu Kristu omthumileyo. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
Mina ngikudumisile emhlabeni; ngiwuqedile umsebenzi obunginike wona ukuthi ngiwenze;
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
khathesi-ke ngidumise wena, Baba, ngilawe uqobo ngenkazimulo engangilayo kanye lawe ungakabi khona umhlaba.
6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest to me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.
Ngilibonakalisile ibizo lakho ebantwini onginike bona bevela emhlabeni; babengabakho, njalo wanginika bona; balilondolozile ilizwi lakho.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee.
Khathesi sebesazi ukuthi konke, loba yikuphi onginike khona, kuvela kuwe;
8 For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
ngoba amazwi onginike wona, ngibanikile wona; bawemukela, njalo bayazi ngeqiniso ukuthi ngiphuma kuwe, bakholiwe ukuthi ungithumile wena.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine.
Mina ngiyabakhulekela bona; kangikhulekeli umhlaba, kodwa labo onginike bona, ngoba bangabakho;
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
njalo konke okwami kungokwakho, lokwakho kungokwami; njalo ngidunyisiwe kubo.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as we are.
Njalo kangisekho emhlabeni, kodwa basemhlabeni bona, njalo mina ngiyeza kuwe. Baba oNgcwele, balondoloze ebizweni lakho labo onginike bona, ukuze babe munye, njengathi.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest to me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Lapho ngiselabo emhlabeni, mina ngabalondoloza ebizweni lakho; labo onginike bona ngibalindile, njalo kakho kubo olahlekileyo, ngaphandle kwendodana yokulahlwa, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo.
13 And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
Kodwa khathesi ngiza kuwe, njalo lezizinto ngizikhuluma emhlabeni, ukuze babe lentokozo yami igcwalisekile kubo.
14 I have given to them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Mina ngibanikile ilizwi lakho, lomhlaba ubazondile, ngoba bengeyisibo abomhlaba, njengoba mina ngingesuye owomhlaba.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Kangiceli ukuthi ubasuse emhlabeni, kodwa ukuze ubalondoloze kokubi.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Kabasibo abomhlaba, njengalokhu mina ngingesuye owomhlaba.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Bangcwelise eqinisweni lakho; ilizwi lakho liliqiniso.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Njengalokhu wangithuma emhlabeni, lami ngibathumile emhlabeni.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth.
Njalo mina ngizehlukanisela bona, ukuze labo behlukaniswe eqinisweni.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word;
Njalo kangiceleli laba bodwa, kodwa lalabo abazakholwa kimi ngelizwi labo;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
ukuze bonke babe munye; njengalokhu wena, Baba, ukimi, lami ngikuwe, ukuze labo babe munye kithi; ukuze umhlaba ukholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile.
22 And the glory which thou gavest to me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Lenkazimulo mina onginike yona, ngibanikile bona, ukuze babe munye, njengathi simunye.
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Mina ngikubo, lawe ukimi, ukuze bapheleliswe babe munye, lokuze umhlaba wazi ukuthi wena ungithumile, lokuthi ubathandile, njengalokhu ungithandile.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given to me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given to me: for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.
Baba, labo onginike bona, ngithanda ukuthi lapho mina engikhona, labo babe lami; ukuze babone inkazimulo yami, onginike yona, ngoba wangithanda kungakasekelwa umhlaba.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
Baba olungileyo, ngitsho umhlaba kawukwazanga, kodwa mina ngikwazile, lalaba bayazi ukuthi wena ungithumile;
26 And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it: that the love which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
njalo ngibazisile ibizo lakho, njalo ngizabazisa lona; ukuze uthando ongithande ngalo lube kubo, lami kubo.
