¹ኢየሱስም ይህን ተናግሮ ወደ ሰማይ ዓይኖቹን አነሣና እንዲህ አለ። አባት ሆይ፥ ሰዓቱ ደርሶአል፤ ልጅህ ያከብርህ ዘንድ፥ በሥጋም ሁሉ ላይ ሥልጣን እንደ ሰጠኸው፥ ለሰጠኸው ሁሉ የዘላለምን ሕይወት ይሰጣቸው ዘንድ ልጅህን አክብረው።

¹Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

³እውነተኛ አምላክ ብቻ የሆንህ አንተን የላክኸውንም ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን ያውቁ ዘንድ ይህች የዘላለም ሕይወት ናት።

² even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

⁴እኔ ላደርገው የሰጠኸኝን ሥራ ፈጽሜ በምድር አከበርሁህ፤

³ This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

⁵አሁንም፥ አባት ሆይ፥ ዓለም ሳይፈጠር በአንተ ዘንድ በነበረኝ ክብር አንተ በራስህ ዘንድ አክብረኝ።

⁴ I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

⁶ከዓለም ለሰጠኸኝ ሰዎች ስምህን ገለጥሁላቸው። የአንተ ነበሩ ለእኔም ሰጠሃቸው፤

⁵ Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

⁷ቃልህንም ጠብቀዋል። የሰጠኸኝ ሁሉ ከአንተ እንደ ሆነ አሁን ያውቃሉ፤

⁶ I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

⁸የሰጠኸኝን ቃል ሰጥቻቸዋለሁና፤ እነርሱም ተቀበሉት፥ ከአንተም ዘንድ እንደ ወጣሁ በእውነት አወቁ፥ አንተም እንደ ላክኸኝ አመኑ።

⁷ Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

⁹እኔ ስለ እነዚህ እለምናለሁ፤ ስለ ዓለም አልለምንም ስለ ሰጠኸኝ እንጂ፤ የአንተ ናቸውና፤

⁸ for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me.

¹⁰የእኔም የሆነ ሁሉ የአንተ ነው የአንተውም የእኔ ነው፤ እኔም ስለ እነርሱ ከብሬአለሁ።

⁹ I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

¹¹ከዚህም በኋላ በዓለም አይደለሁም፥ እነርሱም በዓለም ናቸው፥ እኔም ወደ አንተ እመጣለሁ። ቅዱስ አባት ሆይ፥ እነዚህን የሰጠኸኝን እንደ እኛ አንድ እንዲሆኑ በስምህ ጠብቃቸው።

¹⁰ All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

¹²ከእነርሱ ጋር በዓለም ሳለሁ የሰጠኸኝን በስምህ እኔ እጠብቃቸው ነበር፤ ጠበቅኋቸውም መጽሐፉም እንዲፈጸም ከጥፋት ልጅ በቀር ከእነርሱ ማንም አልጠፋም።

¹¹ I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

¹³አሁንም ወደ አንተ እመጣለሁ፤ በእነርሱም ዘንድ ደስታዬ የተፈጸመ እንዲሆንላቸው ይህን በዓለም እናገራለሁ።

¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

¹⁴እኔ ቃልህን ሰጥቻቸዋለሁ፤ እኔም ከዓለም እንዳይደለሁ ከዓለም አይደሉምና ዓለም ጠላቸው።

¹³ But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

¹⁵ከክፉ እንድትጠብቃቸው እንጂ ከዓለም እንድታወጣቸው አልለምንም።

¹⁴ I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁶እኔ ከዓለም እንዳይደለሁ ከዓለም አይደሉም።

¹⁵ I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

¹⁷በእውነትህ ቀድሳቸው፤ ቃልህ እውነት ነው።

¹⁶ They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

¹⁸ወደ ዓለም እንደ ላክኸኝ እንዲሁ እኔ ወደ ዓለም ላክኋቸው፤

¹⁷ Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth. Psalm 119:142

¹⁹እነርሱም ደግሞ በእውነት የተቀደሱ እንዲሆኑ እኔ ራሴን ስለ እነርሱ እቀድሳለሁ።

¹⁸ As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

²⁰ሁሉም አንድ ይሆኑ ዘንድ፥ ከቃላቸው የተነሣ በእኔ ስለሚያምኑ ደግሞ እንጂ ስለ እነዚህ ብቻ አልለምንም፤ አንተ እንደ ላክኸኝ ዓለም ያምን ዘንድ፥ አንተ፥ አባት ሆይ፥ በእኔ እንዳለህ እኔም በአንተ፥ እነርሱ ደግሞ በእኛ አንድ ይሆኑ ዘንድ እለምናለሁ።

¹⁹ For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

²²እኛም አንድ እንደ ሆንን አንድ ይሆኑ ዘንድ፤ እኔም በእነርሱ አንተም በእኔ ስትሆን፥ በአንድ ፍጹማን እንዲሆኑ፥ የሰጠኸኝን ክብር እኔ ሰጥቻቸዋለሁ፤ እንዲሁም ዓለም አንተ እንደ ላክኸኝ በወደድኸኝም መጠን እነርሱን እንደ ወደድሃቸው ያውቃል።

²⁰ Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,

²⁴አባት ሆይ፥ ዓለም ሳይፈጠር ስለ ወደድኸኝ የሰጠኸኝን ክብሬን እንዲያዩ እኔ ባለሁበት የሰጠኸኝ እነርሱ ደግሞ ከእኔ ጋር ይሆኑ ዘንድ እወዳለሁ።

²¹ that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

²⁵ጻድቅ አባት ሆይ፥ ዓለም አላወቀህም፥ እኔ ግን አወቅሁህ እነዚህም አንተ እንደ ላክኸኝ አወቁ፤

²² The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

²⁶እኔንም የወደድህባት ፍቅር በእነርሱ እንድትሆን እኔም በእነርሱ፥ ስምህን አስታወቅኋቸው አስታውቃቸውማለሁ።

²³ I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.

²⁴ Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

²⁵ Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

²⁶ I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
