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

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:

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

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

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

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

⁴Ini ndakakukudzai panyika; ndapedza basa ramakandipa kuti ndiite;

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

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

⁵And now, 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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

¹⁰and all things that are 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 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].

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, 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 in the truth: thy word is truth.

¹⁸Sezvamakandituma panyika, neniwo ndavatuma panyika.

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

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

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

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

²⁰Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that 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 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.

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

²²And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto 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 perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
