Yohana 13
1 Lyaliji likanaŵe lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya Pasaka. Che Yesu achimanyililaga kuti katema kao kakutyoka pachilambo chino ni kwaula kwa Atati ŵao kaiche. Moŵa gose ŵanonyele ŵandu ŵao ŵaali pachilambo, elo, ŵanonyele kwa unonyelo wangali mbesi!
It was now just before the Passover Feast, and Jesus knew that His hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the very end.
2 Nipele Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatemi achilyaga chakulya cha ligulo. Jwakulinga ŵamasile kwajinjila che Yuda, mwana ju che Simoni Isikaliote ni kwapa nganisyo sya kwagalauka Che Yesu.
The evening meal was underway, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
3 Che Yesu ŵaimanyi kuti Atati ŵao aŵisile indu yose paasi pa ulamusi wakwe, ni kuti nsyene ŵatyosile kwa Akunnungu ni akuuja kwa Akunnungu.
Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.
4 Nipele, ŵatyosile pachakulya pala, ŵawusile likoti lyakwe ni kuŵika pambali, ŵajigele chitambaa ni kulitaŵa mchiunu.
So He got up from the supper, laid aside His outer garments, and wrapped a towel around His waist.
5 Nipele ŵatechile meesi mu nkambo wa mwana ni kutanda kwakunda makongolo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwasyula ni chitambaa chiŵalitawile mchiunu chila.
After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel that was around Him.
6 Paŵaiche ku che Simoni Petulo, jwelejo ŵammusisye Che Yesu, “Ambuje, ana mmwe nkusaka kuungunda makongolo gangu?”
He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”
7 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngankuchimanya chingupanganya sambano, nambo chinchimanye kanyuma.”
Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
8 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Mmwe ngamungunda makongolo gangu kose.” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Iŵaga ngangugakunda makongolo genu, mmwejo ngamma jwakulijiganya jwangu.” (aiōn g165)
“Never shall You wash my feet!” Peter told Him. Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.” (aiōn g165)
9 Che Simoni Petulo ŵanjanjile, “Ambuje, mungunde, ngaŵa makongolo pe, nambo ni makono gangu ni ntwe wangu nombe nawo.”
“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well!”
10 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Jwanjoje amasile kusalala, akusachilwa kulikunda mmakongolo pe. Ŵanyamwe nsalele, ikaŵe mundu jumo pe.”
Jesus told him, “Whoever has already bathed needs only to wash his feet, and he will be completely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.”
11 Che Yesu ŵammanyilile ajula juchiŵagalauche, kwa ligongo lyo ŵatite, “Ŵanyamwe nsalele, ikaŵe mundu jumo pe.”
For He knew who would betray Him. That is why He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 Paŵamalisisye kwakunda makongolo gao, ŵawasile likoti lyakwe, ŵatemi sooni ni kwausya, “Ana nchimanyi chele chindesile kukwenu cho?
When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His outer garments, He reclined with them again and asked, “Do you know what I have done for you?
13 Ŵanyamwe nkuumilanga une Jwakwiganya ni Ambuje, nkuŵecheta uchenene, pakuŵa yeleyo ni indite pakuŵa.
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am.
14 Nipele iŵaga uneji jundi Ambuje ni Jwakwiganya, nankundile makongolo genu ni ŵanyamwe nkuŵajilwa nkundane makongolo jwine ni jwine.
So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
15 Nampele chitagu chi, kuti ni ŵanyamwe mpanganyeje iyoyo mpela inampanganyichisye ŵanyamwe.
I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you.
16 Ngunsalila isyene, ngapagwa kapolo jwakumpunda mmbujegwe, atamuno ngapagwa jwakutumichila jwakumpunda jwantumile.
Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 Nipele iŵaga ngamanyi gelego, chinkole upile iŵaga chingatende.”
If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
18 “Ginguŵecheta ga ngaŵa kwa ŵanyamwe ŵanawose. Uneji ngwamanyilila yatite pakuŵa ŵanawose unasagwile ŵala. Nambo gakusachilwa gamalile Malembelo ga Akunnungu gagakuti, ‘Mundu jwakulya chakulya pamo ni uneji amujilile nkusa.’
I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’
19 Uneji nansalile gelega sambano gakanaŵe kopochela, kuti pachigakopochele po nkulupilile kuti, ‘Uneji ndili jwelejo.’
I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.
20 Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose juchampochele junguntuma, jwelejo akumbochela ni une, ni mundu jwakumbochela uneji akumpochela jwele jwandumile une.”
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.”
21 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵasupwiche nnope mmbumu jao, ŵaŵechete pangasisa kuti, “Ngunsalila isyene, jumo jwenu chang'alauche!”
After Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit and testified, “Truly, truly, I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
22 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵalolegene anakombole kwimanyilila kuti ŵagambaga ŵaani.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed as to which of them He meant.
23 Jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juŵanonyelwe nnope ni Che Yesu, ŵatemi pachiŵandi ni Che Yesu.
One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at His side.
24 Nipele che Simoni Petulo ŵankupilile jwakulijiganya jula kunsalila, “Mwausye ana akwagamba ŵaani?”
So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one He was talking about.
25 Jwakulijiganya jo ŵammandichile nnope Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ambuje ana ŵaani nkwagamba?”
Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Jwelejo ni ajula juchinampambile chipande cha nkate ni kwapa.” Nipele ŵajigele chipande cha nkate, ni kupamba mu mbaale, ŵampele che Yuda mwana ju che Simoni Isikaliote.
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this morsel after I have dipped it.” Then He dipped the morsel and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
27 Che Yuda napochelape chipande cho, ŵajinjilwe ni Shetani. Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Chinkusaka kuchipanganya, nchipanganye chitema pe!”
And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
28 Nambo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose mwa aŵala ŵaŵatemi pachakulya pala juŵaimanyilile ligongo lya kwasalila yeleyo.
But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.
29 Pakuŵa che Yuda ŵaliji jwakugosa mbiko, ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵaganisisye kuti Che Yesu ŵaasalile che Yuda kuti ajaule akasume indu yaikusachilwa ku chindimba cha Pasaka, pane ŵaasalile kuti akapeleganye chachili chose kwa ŵakulaga.
Since Judas kept the money bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.
30 Nipele, che Yuda napochelape chipande cha nkate chila, ŵakopweche paasa. Ni kele katema ko kaliji chilo.
As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out into the night.
31 Che Yuda paŵakopweche, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Sambano Mwana jwa Mundu apatile ukulu, ni Akunnungu nombe apatile ukulu mwa jwelejo.
When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 Iŵaga ukulu wa Akunnungu uwunukwiche kwa litala lya Mwana jwa Mundu, nipele Akunnungu asyene chauunukule ukulu wa Mwana jwa Mundu, nombewo chiŵakusye chitema pe.”
If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.
33 “Achiŵanangu, ndili ni ŵanyamwe kwa moŵa kanandi pe. Chimuusose, nambo sambano ngunsalila aila inaasalile achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi kuti, ‘Kungwaula ŵanyamwe ngankombolanga kwika!’
Little children, I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
34 Malajisyo ga sambano ngumpanga gati nnonyelane jwine ni jwine. Mpela indite pakunnonyela ŵanyamwe, kwanti iyoyo peyo nnonyelane jwine ni jwine.
A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.
35 Mwanonyelanaga jwine ni jwine, ŵandu ŵanawose chachimanyilila kuti ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakulijiganya ŵangu.”
By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
36 Che Simoni Petulo ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana Ambuje nkwenda kwapi?” Ni Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kungwaula sambano ngankombola kuunguya, nambo chimuunguye kanyuma.”
“Lord, where are You going?” Simon Peter asked. Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.”
37 Che Petulo ŵansalile, “Ambuje, ligongo chi lichilepele kunkuya sambano? Ndili chile kuwa kwa ligongo lyenu!”
“Lord,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.”
38 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana isyene ndi chile kuwa kwa ligongo lyangu une? Isyene ngunsalila, jikanaŵe kutongola tambala chimuungane katatu!”
“Will you lay down your life for Me?” Jesus replied. “Truly, truly, I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.
