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

¹These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said — `Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,

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

²according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that — all that Thou hast given to him — he may give to them life age-during;

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

³and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send — Jesus Christ;

⁴Ini ndakakukudzai panyika; ndapedza basa ramakandipa kuti ndiite;

⁴I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do [it].

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

⁵`And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

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

⁶I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

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

⁷now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,

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

⁸because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

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

⁹`I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

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

¹⁰and all mine are Thine, and Thine [are] mine, and I have been 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 no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

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

¹²when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

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

¹³`And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;

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

¹⁴I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

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

¹⁵I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.

¹⁶Havasi venyika, seni ndisiri wenyika.

¹⁶`Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not;

¹⁷Vaitei vatsvene muchokwadi chenyu; shoko renyu ichokwadi.

¹⁷sanctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth;

¹⁸Sezvamakandituma panyika, neniwo ndavatuma panyika.

¹⁸as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world;

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

¹⁹and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.

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

²⁰`And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;

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 in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

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

²²`And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one 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 perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

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

²⁴`Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

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

²⁵`Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

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

²⁶and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.`
