Yokaana 17
1 Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’atunula eri eggulu, n’ayogera nti, “Kitange ekiseera kituuse. Gulumiza Omwana wo, n’omwana alyoke akugulumize,
These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.
2 nga bwe wamuwa obuyinza ku balina omubiri bonna, bonna be wamuwa alyoke abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)
3 Buno bwe bulamu obutaggwaawo, okutegeera ggwe Katonda omu ow’amazima, n’oyo gwe watuma, Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)
4 Nkugulumizizza ku nsi, omulimu gwe wantuma okukola, ngumalirizza.
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 Kale kaakano, Kitange, ngulumiza wamu naawe mu kitiibwa ekyo kye nnali nakyo ng’ensi tennabeerawo.”
And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.
6 “Njolesezza erinnya lyo eri abantu be wampa okuva mu nsi. Baali ba nsi naye n’obampa. Baali babo n’obampa era bakkirizza ekigambo kyo.
I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them; and they have kept thy word.
7 Bategedde nga buli kye nnina kiva gy’oli,
Now they have known, that all things which thou hast given me, are from thee:
8 kubanga buli kye wandagira nkibayigirizza ne bakitegeera era bategeeredde ddala nga nava gy’oli, era ne bakkiriza nga ggwe wantuma.
Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 Mbasabira. Sisabira nsi, naye nsabira abo be wampa kubanga babo.
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine:
10 Ng’ebintu byonna bwe biri ebyange ate era nga bibyo, era ne bibyo nga byange, bampeesa ekitiibwa.
And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 Nze sikyali mu nsi, naye bo bali mu nsi, ate nga nzija gy’oli. Kitange Omutukuvu, be wampa bakuume mu linnya lyo, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.
12 Bwe mbadde nabo, abo be wampa mbakuumye mu linnya lyo, ne watabaawo azikirira, okuggyako omwana ow’okubula, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire.”
While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.
13 “Nange kaakano nzija gy’oli, era mbabuulidde ebintu bino nabo babe n’essanyu lyange nga lituukiridde mu bo.
And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves.
14 Mbawadde ekigambo kyo, ensi n’ebakyawa kubanga si ba nsi nga Nze bwe siri wa nsi.
I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world; as I also am not of the world.
15 Sikusaba kubaggya mu nsi, naye nkusaba obakuume eri omubi.
I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil.
16 Si ba nsi nga nange bwe siri wa nsi.
They are not of the world, as I also am not of the world.
17 Obatukuze mu mazima; ekigambo kyo ge mazima.
Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.
18 Nga bwe wantuma mu nsi, nange bwe ntyo mbatuma mu nsi.
As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
19 Era neetukuza ku lwabwe nabo balyoke batukuzibwe mu mazima.”
And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “Sisabira bano bokka naye nsabira n’abo abanzikiriza olw’ekigambo kyabwe,
And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me;
21 bonna babeere bumu, nga ggwe Kitange bw’oli mu Nze, nange nga ndi mu ggwe, nabo babeerenga mu ffe, ensi eryoke ekkirize nga ggwe wantuma.
That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 Mbawadde ekitiibwa kye wampa, balyoke babeere bumu nga ffe bwe tuli obumu.
And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one:
23 Nze nga ndi mu bo, era naawe ng’oli mu Nze balyoke bafuukire ddala omuntu omu. Ensi eryoke etegeere nga ggwe wantuma era nti obaagala nga bw’onjagala.”
I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.
24 “Kitange, bano be wampa njagala mbeere nabo we ndi balyoke bategeere ekitiibwa kyange kye wampa kubanga wanjagala, ng’ensi tennatondebwa.
Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Ayi Kitange Omutukuvu, ensi teyakumanya, kyokka Nze nkumanyi era n’abayigirizwa bano bamanyi nga ggwe wantuma.
Just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee: and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 Era mbayigirizza ne bamanya erinnya lyo, era nzija kwongera okubamanyisa okwagala kwo kw’onjagala, kulyoke kubeerenga mu bo, era nange mbeere mu bo.”
And I have made known thy name to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
