¹Jesu wakataura zvinhu izvi, ndokusimudzira meso ake kudenga, akati: Baba, awa rasvika; kudzai Mwanakomana wenyu, kuti Mwanakomana wenyuwo akukudzei;

¹These words spake 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:

²sezvo makamupa simba pamusoro penyama yose, kuti vose vamakamupa, avape upenyu hwusingaperi.

²As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

³Uye uhwu upenyu hwusingaperi, kuti vakuzivei imwi Mwari woga wechokwadi, naJesu Kristu wamakatuma.

³And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

⁴Ini ndakakukudzai panyika; ndapedza basa ramakandipa kuti ndiite;

⁴I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

⁵uye ikozvino ndikudzei imwi, Baba, kwamuri pachenyu nerukudzo rwandaiva narwo ndinemwi nyika isati yavapo.

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

⁶Ndaratidza zita renyu kuvanhu vamakandipa kubva munyika; vakange vari venyu, uye makavapa ini; uye vakachengeta shoko renyu.

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

⁷Ikozvino voziva kuti zvose-zvose zvamakandipa, zvinobva kwamuri;

⁷Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

⁸nekuti ndakapa kwavari mashoko amakandipa; uye ivo vakagamuchira, vakaziva zvirokwazvo kuti ndakabuda kwamuri, uye vakatenda kuti imwi makandituma.

⁸For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

⁹Ini ndinokumbirira ivo; handikumbiriri nyika, asi avo vamakandipa, nekuti ndevenyu;

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

¹⁰uye zvose zvangu ndezvenyu, nezvenyu ndezvangu; uye ndakakudzwa mavari.

¹⁰And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

¹¹Uye handichisiri munyika, asi ava vari munyika; uye ini ndinouya kwamuri. Baba vatsvene, vachengetei muzita renyu vamakandipa, kuti vave vamwe, sesu.

¹¹And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

¹²Pandaiva navo munyika, ini ndaivachengeta muzita renyu; avo vamakandipa, ndikachengetedza, uye hapana umwe wavo wakarasika, kunze kwemwanakomana wekurashwa, kuti rugwaro rwuzadziswe.

¹²While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹³Asi ikozvino ndinouya kwamuri, uye zvinhu izvi ndinotaura munyika, kuti vave nemufaro wangu wakazadziswa mavari.

¹³And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

¹⁴Ini ndakavapa shoko renyu, uye nyika yakavavenga, nekuti havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.

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

¹⁵Handikumbiri kuti muvabvise panyika, asi kuti muvachengete pane wakaipa.

¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

¹⁶Havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.

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

¹⁷Vaitei vatsvene muchokwadi chenyu; shoko renyu ichokwadi.

¹⁷Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

¹⁸Sezvamakandituma panyika, neniwo ndavatuma panyika.

¹⁸As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

¹⁹Uye ini ndinozviita mutsvene nekuda kwavo, kuti ivowo vaitwe vatsvene muchokwadi.

¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

²⁰Uye handikumbiriri ava chete, asi naivo vachatenda kwandiri neshoko ravo;

²⁰Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

²¹kuti vose vave vamwe; semwi, Baba, mandiri, neni mamuri; kuti ivowo vave umwe matiri; kuti nyika itende kuti imwi makandituma.

²¹That 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.

²²Nekubwinya kwamakandipa, ini ndakavapa, kuti vave umwe, sesu tiri umwe.

²²And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

²³Ini mavari, nemwi mandiri, kuti vapedzeredzwe vave umwe; uye kuti nyika izive kuti imwi makandituma, uye makavada, sezvamakandida.

²³I 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.

²⁴Baba, ndinoda kuti ivowo vamakandipa, vave neni apo pandiri ini, kuti vaone kubwinya kwangu, kwamakandipa, nekuti makandida mavambo enyika asati avapo.

²⁴Father, I will 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.

²⁵Baba vakarurama, nenyika haina kukuzivai, asi ini ndakakuzivai, neava vakaziva kuti imwi makandituma;

²⁵O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

²⁶uye ndakazivisa kwavari zita renyu, uye ndicharizivisa, kuti rudo rwamakandida narwo ruve mavari, neni mavari.

²⁶And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
