Johan 13
1 Yoom khotue hlanah he Diklai lamkah Pa taengla a thoeih ham tue te hampha coeng tila Jesuh loh a ming. Te dongah Diklai ah a lungnah rhoek te a bawt due a lungnah.
Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave the world and go to the Father. He had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.
2 Hlaembuh a vael uh vaengah amah aka voei ham Simon capa Judas Iskariot loh a thinko ah rhaithae a khueh coeng.
The devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
3 Pa loh Jesuh amah kut ah boeih a paek tih Pathen taeng lamkah aka thoeng te Pathen taengla cet tila a ming.
and at supper, Jesus – although knowing that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was to return to God –
4 Buhkung lamkah a thoh neh a himbai a dul. Te phoeiah rhawnawn a loh tih a vaep.
rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel round his waist.
5 Baeldung dongah tui a loei tih hnukbang rhoek kah kho te koe a silh. Te phoeiah a vaep tangtae la aka om rhawnawn neh a huih pah.
He then poured some water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel which was tied round him.
6 Simon Peter taengah a pha vaengah amah te, “Boeipa, nang loh kai kho na sil aya?,” a ti nah.
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said, ‘You, Master! Are you going to wash my feet?’
7 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Ka saii he nang loh tahae ah na ming pawt dae tahae lamkah phoeiah na ming bitni,” a ti nah.
‘You do not understand now what I am doing,’ replied Jesus, ‘but you will learn by and by.’
8 Peter loh, “Ka kho he a voelvai ah sil loengloeng boeh,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Nang kan sil pawt koinih kai taengah benbo benpang la na om mahpawh,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
‘You will never wash my feet!’ exclaimed Peter. ‘Unless I wash you,’ answered Jesus, ‘you have nothing in common with me.’ (aiōn g165)
9 Amah te Simon Peter loh, “Boeipa, ka kho bueng pawt tih ka kut neh ka lu khawm ta,” a ti nah.
‘Then, Master, not my feet only,’ exclaimed Simon Peter, ‘but also my hands and my head.’
10 Jesuh loh anih taengah, “Tui aka hlu tah a caih la boeih om tih a kho silh ham bueng pawt atah a tloe silh ngoe pawh. Te phoeiah nangmih tah a caih na om uhuh dae boeih na cim uh moenih,” a ti nah.
‘He who has bathed,’ replied Jesus, ‘has no need to wash, unless it be his feet, but is altogether clean; and you,’ he said to the disciples, ‘are clean, yet not all of you.’
11 Amah aka voei te a ming coeng. Te dongah, “A caih la boeih na om uh pawh,” a ti nah.
For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said “You are not all clean.”
12 Amih kah kho te a silh phoeiah a himbai te a loh tih koep ngol. Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih ham ka saii te na ming uh a?
When he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments and taken his place, he spoke to them again. ‘Do you understand what I have been doing to you?’ he asked.
13 Nangmih loh kai he saya neh boeipa la nan khue uh dae ka om van dongah balh na thui uh.
‘You yourselves call me “the teacher” and “the Master”, and you are right, for I am both.
14 Te dongah kai boeipa neh saya loh nangmih kah kho te ka silh atah nangmih khaw khat neh khat kah kho te na silh uh ham a kuek.
If I, then – “the Master” and “the teacher” – have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet;
15 Kai loh nangmih taengah ka saii bangla nangmih long khaw saii uh tila moeiboe pakhat nangmih kan paek coeng.
for I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.
16 Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, sal tah a boei lakah tanglue la, caeltueih khaw amah aka tueih lakah tanglue la a om moenih.
In truth I tell you, a servant is not greater than their master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends them.
17 He he na ming uh tih te rhoek te na vai uh atah yoethen la na om uh coeng.
Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 Nangmih boeih ham ka thui moenih a? Kamah loh ka tuek te ka ming. Tedae cacim te tah soep mai saeh. Ka buh aka ca loh kai taengah a khodil a taloeh coeng.
I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but this is in fulfilment of the words of scripture – “He that is eating my bread has lifted his heel against me.”
19 A om hlanah nangmih kan ti nah coeng. Te daengah ni a om vaengah kai ni tila nan tangnah uh eh.
For the future I will tell you of things before they take place, so that, when they take place, you may believe that I am what I am.
20 Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, khat khat ka tueih te aka doe long tah kai ni n'doe. Kai aka doe long khaw kai aka tueih te a doe,” a ti nah.
In truth I tell you, the one who receives anyone that I send receives me; and the person who receives me receives him who sent me.’
21 Hekah he Jesuh loh a thui vaengah mueihla hinghuen doela a phong tih, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui nangmih khuikah pakhat loh kai m'voeih ni,” a ti.
After saying this, Jesus was much troubled, and said solemnly, ‘In truth I tell you that it is one of you who will betray me.’
22 U a thui khaw hnukbang rhoek tah ingang uh tih khat khat ah so uh thae.
The disciples looked at one another, wondering whom he meant.
23 A hnukbang rhoek khuikah pakhat tah Jesuh kah rhang dongah om tih a vael. Anih te Jesuh loh a lungnah.
Next to Jesus, in the place on his right hand, was one of his disciples, whom he loved.
24 Anih te Simon Peter loh a mikhip tih, “A thui te u lam nim a pawk ve,” a ti nah.
So Simon Peter made signs to that disciple, and whispered, ‘Tell me who it is that he means.’
25 Te phoeiah anih te Jesuh kah rhang dongah hangdang tangloeng tih, “Boeipa, unim?” a ti nah.
Being in this position, that disciple leant back on Jesus’ shoulder, and asked him, ‘Who is it, Master?’
26 Jesuh loh, “Anih tah kamat ka nuem vetih amah taengah ka paek ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah kamat te a nuem phoeiah a loh tih Simon capa Judas Iskariot te a paek.
‘It is the one,’ answered Jesus, ‘to whom I will give a piece of bread after dipping it in the dish.’ And, when Jesus had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot;
27 Kamat nen mah anih te Satan loh a kun thil coeng. Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Na saii te hat saii to,” a ti nah.
and it was then, after he had received it, that Satan took possession of him. So Jesus said to him, ‘Do at once what you are going to do.’
28 A taengah a thui te aka vael rhoek loh ming pawh.
But no one at the table understood why he said this to Judas.
29 A ngen loh tangkacun te Judas loh a khoem dongah khotue ham a ngoe koi te lai ham neh khodaeng rhoek te khat khat paek ham te Jesuh loh anih a ti nah tila a poek uh.
Some thought that, as Judas kept the purse, Jesus meant that he was to buy some things needed for the Festival, or to give something to the poor.
30 Te dongah anih loh vaidam kamat te a doe tih pahoi cet. Te vaengah khoyin la om.
After taking the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 A caeh tangloeng vaengah Jesuh loh, “Tahae ah hlang capa tah a thangpom vetih Pathen tah anih ah a thangpom ni.
When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man has been exalted, and God has been exalted through him;
32 Pathen te anih ah a thangpom atah Pathen long khaw amah dongah anih a thangpom ni. Te vaengah anih te tlek a thangpom ni.
and God will exalt him with himself – yes, he will exalt him forthwith.
33 Oingaih rhoek, nangmih taengah kolkalh tah ka om pueng vetih kai nan toem uh ni. Tedae Judah rhoek taengah, 'Ka caeh nah te nam pha ham coeng thai pawh, ' ka ti nah vanbangla nangmih taengah khaw kan thui coeng.
My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the people – “You cannot come where I am going” – I now say to you.
34 Khat neh khat lung uh thae tila nangmih olpaek a thai la kam paek. Nangmih kan lungnah vanbangla nangmih khaw khat neh khat lung uh thae ham.
I give you a new commandment – love one another; love one another as I have loved you.
35 Khat neh khat taengah lungnah na khueh uh atah te nen ni kai kah hnukbang la na om uh te boeih a ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
It is by this that everyone will recognise you as my disciples – by your loving one another.’
36 Amah te Simon Peter loh, “Boeipa, melam na caeh eh?” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Kai ka caeh nah te tahae ah nam vai uh thai mahpawh tedae hmailong ah nam vai uh bitni,” a ti nah.
‘Where are you going, Master?’ asked Peter. ‘I am going where you cannot now follow me,’ answered Jesus, ‘but you will follow me later.’
37 Peter loh, “Boeipa, balae tih tahae ah nang kam vai uh thai pawt eh? Nang ham ka hinglu te ka voeih ni,” a ti nah.
‘Why cannot I follow you now, Master?’ asked Peter. ‘I will lay down my life for you.’
38 Jesuh loh, “Kai ham na hinglu te na voeih mai ni? Nang taengah rhep rhep ka thui, kai voei thum nan hnoel hlan atah ai khong loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
‘Will you lay down your life for me?’ replied Jesus. ‘In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow until you have disowned me three times.
