< 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 knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he 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.
By the time supper ended, the devil had put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, 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 put all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,
4 Nipele, ŵatyosile pachakulya pala, ŵawusile likoti lyakwe ni kuŵika pambali, ŵajigele chitambaa ni kulitaŵa mchiunu.
so he rose from supper, laid aside his outer garments, took a towel, and wrapped it 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 put water into the washbasin and began to wash his disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around his waist.
6 Paŵaiche ku che Simoni Petulo, jwelejo ŵammusisye Che Yesu, “Ambuje, ana mmwe nkusaka kuungunda makongolo gangu?”
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are yoʋ going to wash my feet?”
7 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngankuchimanya chingupanganya sambano, nambo chinchimanye kanyuma.”
Jesus answered him, “What I am doing yoʋ do not now understand, but afterward yoʋ 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)
Peter said to him, “Yoʋ shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash yoʋ, yoʋ 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.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, 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 said to him, “He who has bathed has no need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but 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, “You are not all 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 collected his outer garments, he reclined again at the table and said to them, “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, for that is what 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 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 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 say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 Nipele iŵaga ngamanyi gelego, chinkole upile iŵaga chingatende.”
Now that you know these things, you are 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 Scripture must be fulfilled: ‘He who 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 am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen, 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 say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.”
21 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵasupwiche nnope mmbumu jao, ŵaŵechete pangasisa kuti, “Ngunsalila isyene, jumo jwenu chang'alauche!”
After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit and declared, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
22 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵalolegene anakombole kwimanyilila kuti ŵagambaga ŵaani.
So the disciples began looking at one another, perplexed as to whom he was speaking about.
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 on Jesus' chest.
24 Nipele che Simoni Petulo ŵankupilile jwakulijiganya jula kunsalila, “Mwausye ana akwagamba ŵaani?”
So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
25 Jwakulijiganya jo ŵammandichile nnope Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ambuje ana ŵaani nkwagamba?”
Leaning back on Jesus' chest, he said 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 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 Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 Che Yuda napochelape chipande cho, ŵajinjilwe ni Shetani. Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Chinkusaka kuchipanganya, nchipanganye chitema pe!”
After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What yoʋ are about to do, do quickly.”
28 Nambo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose mwa aŵala ŵaŵatemi pachakulya pala juŵaimanyilile ligongo lya kwasalila yeleyo.
(Now no one at the 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.
Some were thinking, since Judas had the moneybag, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy what we 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.
As soon as Judas took the morsel, he went out. 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 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.”
And if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify the Son in himself, and will 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!’
Little children, I am with you for a little while longer. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, now I say to you also, ‘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.
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you 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 have love for one another.”
36 Che Simoni Petulo ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana Ambuje nkwenda kwapi?” Ni Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Kungwaula sambano ngankombola kuunguya, nambo chimuunguye kanyuma.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are yoʋ going?” Jesus answered him, “Yoʋ cannot follow me now to the place where I am going, but afterward yoʋ will follow me.”
37 Che Petulo ŵansalile, “Ambuje, ligongo chi lichilepele kunkuya sambano? Ndili chile kuwa kwa ligongo lyenu!”
Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow yoʋ now? I will lay down my life for yoʋ.”
38 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana isyene ndi chile kuwa kwa ligongo lyangu une? Isyene ngunsalila, jikanaŵe kutongola tambala chimuungane katatu!”
Jesus answered him, “Yoʋ will lay down yoʋr life for me? Truly, truly, I say to yoʋ, a rooster will certainly not crow until yoʋ have denied me three times.”
