< 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!
Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the 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.
And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, that he should deliver him up,
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, ] knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to God,
4 Nipele, ŵatyosile pachakulya pala, ŵawusile likoti lyakwe ni kuŵika pambali, ŵajigele chitambaa ni kulitaŵa mchiunu.
rises from supper and lays aside his garments, and having taken a linen towel he girded himself:
5 Nipele ŵatechile meesi mu nkambo wa mwana ni kutanda kwakunda makongolo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kwasyula ni chitambaa chiŵalitawile mchiunu chila.
then he pours water into the washhand basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the linen towel with which he was girded.
6 Paŵaiche ku che Simoni Petulo, jwelejo ŵammusisye Che Yesu, “Ambuje, ana mmwe nkusaka kuungunda makongolo gangu?”
He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and he says to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngankuchimanya chingupanganya sambano, nambo chinchimanye kanyuma.”
Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou dost not know now, but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Che Petulo ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Mmwe ngamungunda makongolo gangu kose.” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Iŵaga ngangugakunda makongolo genu, mmwejo ngamma jwakulijiganya jwangu.” (aiōn g165)
Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 Che Simoni Petulo ŵanjanjile, “Ambuje, mungunde, ngaŵa makongolo pe, nambo ni makono gangu ni ntwe wangu nombe nawo.”
Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Jwanjoje amasile kusalala, akusachilwa kulikunda mmakongolo pe. Ŵanyamwe nsalele, ikaŵe mundu jumo pe.”
Jesus says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all.
11 Che Yesu ŵammanyilile ajula juchiŵagalauche, kwa ligongo lyo ŵatite, “Ŵanyamwe nsalele, ikaŵe mundu jumo pe.”
For he knew him that delivered him up: on account of this he said, Ye are not all clean.
12 Paŵamalisisye kwakunda makongolo gao, ŵawasile likoti lyakwe, ŵatemi sooni ni kwausya, “Ana nchimanyi chele chindesile kukwenu cho?
When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye know what I have done to you?
13 Ŵanyamwe nkuumilanga une Jwakwiganya ni Ambuje, nkuŵecheta uchenene, pakuŵa yeleyo ni indite pakuŵa.
Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am [so].
14 Nipele iŵaga uneji jundi Ambuje ni Jwakwiganya, nankundile makongolo genu ni ŵanyamwe nkuŵajilwa nkundane makongolo jwine ni jwine.
If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet;
15 Nampele chitagu chi, kuti ni ŵanyamwe mpanganyeje iyoyo mpela inampanganyichisye ŵanyamwe.
for I have given you an example that, as I have done to you, ye should do also.
16 Ngunsalila isyene, ngapagwa kapolo jwakumpunda mmbujegwe, atamuno ngapagwa jwakutumichila jwakumpunda jwantumile.
Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has sent him.
17 Nipele iŵaga ngamanyi gelego, chinkole upile iŵaga chingatende.”
If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye 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 speak not of you all. I know those whom I have chosen; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.
19 Uneji nansalile gelega sambano gakanaŵe kopochela, kuti pachigakopochele po nkulupilile kuti, ‘Uneji ndili jwelejo.’
I tell you [it] now before it happens, that when it happens, ye may believe that I am [he].
20 Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose juchampochele junguntuma, jwelejo akumbochela ni une, ni mundu jwakumbochela uneji akumpochela jwele jwandumile une.”
Verily, verily, I say to you, He who receives whomsoever I shall send receives me; and he that receives me receives him who has sent me.
21 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵasupwiche nnope mmbumu jao, ŵaŵechete pangasisa kuti, “Ngunsalila isyene, jumo jwenu chang'alauche!”
Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.
22 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵalolegene anakombole kwimanyilila kuti ŵagambaga ŵaani.
The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.
23 Jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juŵanonyelwe nnope ni Che Yesu, ŵatemi pachiŵandi ni Che Yesu.
Now there was at table one of his disciples in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.
24 Nipele che Simoni Petulo ŵankupilile jwakulijiganya jula kunsalila, “Mwausye ana akwagamba ŵaani?”
Simon Peter makes a sign therefore to him to ask who it might be of whom he spoke.
25 Jwakulijiganya jo ŵammandichile nnope Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ambuje ana ŵaani nkwagamba?”
But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, 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 answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote.
27 Che Yuda napochelape chipande cho, ŵajinjilwe ni Shetani. Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Chinkusaka kuchipanganya, nchipanganye chitema pe!”
And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly.
28 Nambo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose mwa aŵala ŵaŵatemi pachakulya pala juŵaimanyilile ligongo lya kwasalila yeleyo.
But none of those at table knew why he 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.
for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Nipele, che Yuda napochelape chipande cha nkate chila, ŵakopweche paasa. Ni kele katema ko kaliji chilo.
Having therefore received the morsel, he went out immediately; and it was night.
31 Che Yuda paŵakopweche, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Sambano Mwana jwa Mundu apatile ukulu, ni Akunnungu nombe apatile ukulu mwa jwelejo.
When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, Now is the Son of man 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 be glorified in him, God also shall glorify him in himself, and shall glorify him immediately.
33 “Achiŵanangu, ndili ni ŵanyamwe kwa moŵa kanandi pe. Chimuusose, nambo sambano ngunsalila aila inaasalile achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi kuti, ‘Kungwaula ŵanyamwe ngankombolanga kwika!’
Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go ye cannot come, I say to you also now.
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 to you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 Mwanonyelanaga jwine ni jwine, ŵandu ŵanawose chachimanyilila kuti ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakulijiganya ŵangu.”
By this shall all know that ye are disciples of mine, if ye have love amongst yourselves.
36 Che Simoni Petulo ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana Ambuje nkwenda kwapi?” Ni Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kungwaula sambano ngankombola kuunguya, nambo chimuunguye kanyuma.”
Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me after.
37 Che Petulo ŵansalile, “Ambuje, ligongo chi lichilepele kunkuya sambano? Ndili chile kuwa kwa ligongo lyenu!”
Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
38 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana isyene ndi chile kuwa kwa ligongo lyangu une? Isyene ngunsalila, jikanaŵe kutongola tambala chimuungane katatu!”
Jesus answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice.
