¹These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the son may glorify thee:

¹Yesu alipokwisha sema hayo, alitazama juu mbinguni, akasema, "Baba, saa imefika! Mtukuze Mwanao ili naye Mwana apate kukutukuza.

²even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life.

²Maana ulimpa Mwanao mamlaka juu ya watu wote ili awape uzima wa milele wote hao uliompa.

³And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, [even] Jesus Christ.

³Na uzima wa milele ndio huu: kukujua wewe uliye peke yako Mungu wa kweli, na kumjua Yesu Kristo uliyemtuma.

⁴I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.

⁴Mimi nimekutukuza hapa duniani; nimeikamilisha ile kazi uliyonipa nifanye.

⁵And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

⁵Sasa, Baba, nitukuze mbele yako kwa ule utukufu niliokuwa nao kabla ya kuumbwa ulimwengu.

⁶I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

⁶"Nimekufanya ujulikane kwa watu wale ulionipa kutoka duniani. Walikuwa watu wako, nawe ukanipa wawe wangu; nao wamelishika neno lako.

⁷Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:

⁷Sasa wanajua kwamba kila ulichonipa kimetoka kwako.

⁸for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received [them], and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.

⁸Mimi nimewapa ule ujumbe ulionipa nao wameupokea; wanajua kwamba kweli nimetoka kwako, na wanaamini kwamba wewe ulinituma.

⁹I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:

⁹"Nawaombea hao; siuombei ulimwengu, ila nawaombea hao ulionipa, maana ni wako.

¹⁰and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.

¹⁰Yote niliyo nayo ni yako, na yako ni yangu; na utukufu wangu umeonekana ndani yao.

¹¹And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we [are].

¹¹Na sasa naja kwako; simo tena ulimwenguni, lakini wao wamo ulimwenguni. Baba Mtakatifu! Kwa nguvu ya jina lako ulilonipa, tafadhali uwaweke salama ili wawe kitu kimoja kama sisi tulivyo mmoja.

¹²While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹²Nilipokuwa nao, mimi niliwaweka salama kwa nguvu ya jina lako ulilonipa. Mimi nimewalinda, wala hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyepotea, isipokuwa yule aliyelazimika kupotea ili Maandiko Matakatifu yapate kutimia.

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

¹³Basi, sasa naja kwako, na nimesema mambo haya ulimwenguni, ili waweze kushiriki kikamilifu furaha yangu.

¹⁴I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁴Mimi nimewapa neno lako, nao ulimwengu ukawachukia, kwa sababu wao si wa ulimwengu kama vile nami nisivyo wa ulimwengu.

¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil [one].

¹⁵Siombi uwatoe ulimwenguni, bali naomba uwakinge na yule Mwovu.

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

¹⁶Wao si wa ulimwengu, kama vile nami nisivyo wa ulimwengu.

¹⁷Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.

¹⁷Waweke wakfu kwa ukweli; neno lako ni ukweli.

¹⁸As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.

¹⁸Kama vile ulivyonituma ulimwenguni, nami pia nimewatuma wao ulimwenguni;

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

¹⁹na kwa ajili yao mimi mwenyewe najiweka wakfu ili nao pia wafanywe wakfu katika ukweli.

²⁰Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;

²⁰"Siwaombei hao tu, bali nawaombea pia wote watakaoamini kutokana na ujumbe wao.

²¹that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

²¹Naomba ili wote wawe kitu kimoja. Baba! Naomba wawe ndani yetu kama vile wewe ulivyo ndani yangu nami ndani yako. Naomba wawe kitu kimoja kusudi ulimwengu upate kuamini kwamba wewe ulinituma.

²²And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we [are] one;

²²Mimi nimewapa utukufu uleule ulionipa mimi, ili wawe kitu kimoja kama nasi tulivyo mmoja;

²³I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

²³mimi niwe ndani yao, nawe uwe ndani yangu; naomba wakamilishwe na kuwa kitu kimoja, ili ulimwengu upate kujua kwamba wewe ulinituma, na kwamba unawapenda wao kama unavyonipenda mimi.

²⁴Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

²⁴"Baba! Nataka wao ulionipa wawe pamoja nami pale nilipo, ili wauone utukufu wangu ulionipa; kwa kuwa ulinipenda kabla ya kuumbwa ulimwengu.

²⁵O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me;

²⁵Baba Mwema! Ulimwengu haukujui, lakini mimi nakujua. Hawa nao wanajua kwamba wewe ulinituma.

²⁶and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

²⁶Nimekufanya ujulikane kwao na nitaendelea kufanya hivyo, ili upendo ulio nao kwangu uwe ndani yao, nami niwe ndani yao."
