< John 13 >

1 Before the feast day of the Passover, Jesus knew that the hour was approaching when he would pass from this world to the Father. And since he had always loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
Igan idin tsatsra rigyen u ye, u Yesu to andi inton tsra wa a lu ni gbungblu hi ni Ti'a. Niwa ani son bi ma wa ba he ni gbungblu, a son ba ye ni kekle.
2 And when the meal had taken place, when the devil had now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,
Ibrji yo ni sron Yahuda Iskariyoti ivren Saminu, aka Yesu le.
3 knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he came from God and was going to God,
Ato ndi Iti a ka kongeri no ni woma, na rji ni Rji, ani la kma hi ni Rji.
4 he rose up from the meal, and he set aside his vestments, and when he had received a towel, he wrapped it around himself.
A lunde ni bubu ri biri, na ju kpima, na ban inklon u se ma kpa na ka kpa ma niwu.
5 Next he put water into a shallow bowl, and he began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he was wrapped.
Wa sur ima ni konko na si ngla za ni almajere ma ba na se za ba wu ni inklon u se kpa wa a ka kpama niwu'a.
6 And then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, “Lord, would you wash my feet?”
Na ye ni Siman Bitrus, u Bitrus tre niwu, “Bachi, u ngla za mu me?”
7 Jesus responded and said to him: “What I am doing, you do not now understand. But you shall understand it afterward.”
Yesu sa niwu na tre, “Ikpe wa mi si ti'a una to na zizan? U to ni ton u ye (ajima).
8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you will have no place with me.” (aiōn g165)
Bitrus hla niwu, una ti bre ngla za mu.” Yesu hla niwu, “Mita ngla niwu na, una he ni san me ni me na.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Then Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”
Siman Bitrus hla niwu, “Bachi, na ngla zamu migyen na, ngla womu ni tu mu.”
10 Jesus said to him: “He who is washed need only wash his feet, and then he will be entirely clean. And you are clean, but not all.”
Yesu hla niwu, “Indji wa a sukpa'a ana wa sukpa na, se ka ngla za, wa ahi tsatsra ndji wawu bi tsatsra, ama ani wawu mbi na.
11 For he knew which one would betray him. For this reason, he said, “You are not all clean.”
(Yesu a to indji wa ani kawu le, kima sa wa tre naki, ana wawu mbi bi tsatsra na).
12 And so, after he washed their feet and received his vestments, when he had sat down at table again, he said to them: “Do you know what I have done for you?
Ni kokon wa Yesu ngla za bawu, a ban konlon ma na kuson ngari, na hlabawu, “Bito kpe wa mi ti ni yiwu'a?
13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you speak well: for so I am.
Bi yo me ni 'Mala' ni 'Bachi,' u bi yo me tsra, a naki mi he.
14 Therefore, if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.
U to Me wa mi Bachi ni Mala, u mi ngla za mbi, biyi ngame bika ngla za ni kpambi.
15 For I have given you an example, so that just as I have done for you, so also should you do.
U mi tsro yi misali, ni ndu ti na wa mi tie ni yiwu.
16 Amen, amen, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his Lord, and the apostle is not greater than he who sent him.
Gbigbi njanji mi si hla ni yiwu, igran na zan tiko ma ni ninkon na, ivren u ton ndu ana zan indji wa ton'u ndu ninkon na.
17 If you understand this, you shall be blessed if you will do it.
Bita to kpi biyi, bi-bi lulu ni nde bi ti ba.
18 I am not speaking about all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But this is so that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me shall lift up his heel against me.’
Mi na si tre yi wawu na; Mi to biwa mi chu ba'a - nitu ndi nassi tsra indji wa a tan bredi a tayar nimu.
19 And I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it has happened, you may believe that I am.
Mi si hla wa yi ni yiwu zizan ri ni ndu ka ti naki ni ndu yi ka kpa-nyeme ni me ni nton wa ani ti naki'a.
20 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives anyone whom I send, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives him who sent me.”
Njanji, njanji, mi si hla ni yiwu, indji wa a kpa ndi wa mi ton'wu, ahi Me a kpa, indji wa a kpa Me, a kpa Indji wa a ton Me.
21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit. And he bore witness by saying: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that one among you shall betray me.”
Ni kogon wa Yesu tre naki, na lo sron ni (Ruhu), na ti gban (shada) andi, gbigbi njanji, mi si hla ni yieu ndi iri ni mibi ani le ni me.”
22 Therefore, the disciples looked around at one another, uncertain about whom he spoke.
Almajire ba ba kma ya kpa mba, na ni tamre, ka ahi nha ni mi mba a si tre ni tu ma.
23 And leaning against the bosom of Jesus was one of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved.
Iri nimi almajire ma, wa Yesu ni son, ahe ni tebru, na kunyre ni san Yesu.
24 Therefore, Simon Peter motioned to this one and said to him, “Who is it that he is speaking about?”
Siman Bitrus hla ni almajire bika minye, “Ndu hla tawu a hi nha a si tre ni tu ma.”
25 And so, leaning against the chest of Jesus, he said to him, “Lord, who is it?”
Wa hla bru kunyre ni san Yesu, na tre niwu, Bachi, ahi nha?
26 Jesus responded, “It is he to whom I shall extend the dipped bread.” And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.
U Yesu hla niwu, a wawu yi wa mi ka cichon bredi sun ni kano. Naki ri na ka bredi sun, na ka no Yahuda ivren Siman Iskariyoti.
27 And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
Ni kogon bredi'a u ibrji a ri ni wu, u Yesu hla niwu, “Ikpe wa u son ti'a, uka ti gbagbla.”
28 Now none of those sitting at table knew why he had said this to him.
Indrjori na la he ni tebru na, wa ani to ikpe wa yo'a hla niwu naki'a.
29 For some were thinking that, because Judas held the purse, that Jesus had told him, “Buy those things which are needed by us for the feast day,” or that he might give something to the needy.
Bari mba ba ya ndi, a Yahuda yi ni nji imbu nklen Yesu hla niwa, “Le ikpe wa ki son ti ndu niwu ni idin,” ko ka no ikpe ni bi wa ba kunyre'a.
30 Therefore, having accepted the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night.
Ni kogon wa Yahuda a kpa bredi'a, wa rju gbagbla gbagbla me ni chu me.
31 Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said: “Now the Son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
Ni kogon wa Yahuda hi'a, Yesu tre, zizan ba no Vren Indji ni kon, ngari ba no Irji ninkon ni mi ma.
32 If God has been glorified in him, then God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him without delay.
Irji ni no ninkon ni mi ma, ani no ninkon zizan zizan.
33 Little sons, for a brief while, I am with you. You shall seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go,’ so also I say to you now.
Imri bi tsitsa mi he ni yi ni vi ton tsa me, biwa me na wa mi hla Yahudawa, bubu wa me mi hi bi na ya hi na. Zizan mi hla wa yi ni yiwu.
34 I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also must you love one another.
Mi si no yi indu ri sama, son kpa mbi, na wa mi son yi, na bi ka son kpambi.
35 By this, all shall recognize that you are my disciples: if you will have love for one another.”
Na ko nha ni to yi ndi bi almajire mu, inde bi son kpambi.”
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus responded: “Where I am going, you are not able to follow me now. But you shall follow afterward.”
Siman Bitrus tre niwu, Bachi, u hi ni ntsen?” Yesu hla ni wu, bubu wa mi si hi'a, una ya hina me zizan hi na, u wuka ye hu me ni kogon.”
37 Peter said to him: “Why am I unable to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!”
Bitrus hla niwu, “Bachi, a ngyeri mba sa mi na hu zizan na? Mi no re (ivri) mu ni tu me.”
38 Jesus answered him: “You will lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the rooster will not crow, until you deny me three times.”
Yesu hla niwu, u ka re (ivri) me no ni tu mu? Gbigbi njanji, mi si hla niwu, u kame ni me ni kpatron ingyu tra ri ndu mble ndu kpan
