Iohannem 17

1 Haec locutus est Iesus: et sublevatis oculis in caelum, dixit: Pater venit hora, clarifica filium tuum, ut filius tuus clarificet te:

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.

2 Sicut dedisti ei potestatem omnis carnis, ut omne, quod dedisti ei, det eis vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)

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)

3 Haec est autem vita aeterna: Ut cognoscant te, solum Deum verum, et quem misisti Iesum Christum. (aiōnios g166)

[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)

4 Ego te clarificavi super terram: opus consummavi, quod dedisti mihi ut faciam:

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

5 et nunc clarifica me tu Pater apud temetipsum, claritate, quam habui prius, quam mundus fieret, apud te.

[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.”

6 Manifestavi nomen tuum hominibus, quos dedisti mihi de mundo: Tui erant, et mihi eos dedisti: et sermonem tuum servaverunt.

“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.

7 Nunc cognoverunt quia omnia, quae dedisti mihi, abs te sunt:

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

8 quia verba, quae dedisti mihi, dedi eis: et ipsi acceperunt, et cognoverunt vere quia a te exivi, et crediderunt quia tu me misisti.

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.

9 Ego pro eis rogo: Non pro mundo rogo, sed pro his, quos dedisti mihi: quia tui sunt:

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.

10 et mea omnia tua sunt, et tua mea sunt: et clarificatus sum in eis:

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.

11 Et iam non sum in mundo, et hi in mundo sunt, et ego ad te venio. Pater sancte, serva eos in nomine tuo, quos dedisti mihi: ut sint unum, sicut et nos.

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.

12 Cum essem cum eis, ego servabam eos in nomine tuo. Quos dedisti mihi, ego custodivi: et nemo ex eis periit, nisi filius perditionis, ut Scriptura impleatur.

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].

13 Nunc autem ad te venio: et haec loquor in mundo, ut habeant gaudium meum impletum in semetipsis.

[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.

14 Ego dedi eis sermonem tuum, et mundus eos odio habuit, quia non sunt de mundo, sicut et ego non sum de mundo.

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].

15 Non rogo ut tollas eos de mundo, sed ut serves eos a malo.

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

16 De mundo non sunt, sicut et ego non sum de mundo.

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

17 Sanctifica eos in veritate. Sermo tuus veritas est.

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.

18 Sicut tu me misisti in mundum, ita et ego misi eos in mundum.

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

19 Et pro eis ego sanctifico meipsum: ut sint et ipsi sanctificati in veritate.

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

20 Non pro eis autem rogo tantum, sed et pro eis, qui credituri sunt per verbum eorum in me:

“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.

21 ut omnes unum sint, sicut tu Pater in me, et ego in te, ut et ipsi in nobis unum sint: ut credat mundus, quia tu me misisti.

[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.

22 Et ego claritatem, quam tu dedisti mihi, dedi eis: ut sint unum, sicut et nos unum sumus.

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

23 Ego in eis, et tu in me: ut sint consummati in unum: et cognoscat mundus quia tu me misisti, et dilexisti eos, sicut et me dilexisti.

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.

24 Pater, quos dedisti mihi, volo ut ubi sum ego, et illi sint mecum: ut videant claritatem meam, quam dedisti mihi: quia dilexisti me ante constitutionem mundi.

[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.

25 Pater iuste, mundus te non cognovit. ego autem te cognovi: et hi cognoverunt, quia tu me misisti.

[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.

26 Et notum feci eis nomen tuum, et notum faciam: ut dilectio, qua dilexisti me, in ipsis sit, et ego in ipsis.

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].”
