< John 13 >

1 It was the day before the Passover festival, and Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world and go to his Father. He had loved those in the world who were his own, and he now demonstrated his complete and utter love for them.
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 It was during supper, and the devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
Ibrji yo ni sron Yahuda Iskariyoti ivren Saminu, aka Yesu le.
3 Jesus knew that the Father had placed everything under his authority, and that he had come from God and was going back to God.
Ato ndi Iti a ka kongeri no ni woma, na rji ni Rji, ani la kma hi ni Rji.
4 So Jesus stood up from eating supper, took off his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist.
A lunde ni bubu ri biri, na ju kpima, na ban inklon u se ma kpa na ka kpa ma niwu.
5 He poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him.
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 He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Na ye ni Siman Bitrus, u Bitrus tre niwu, “Bachi, u ngla za mu me?”
7 Jesus replied, “You won't realize what I'm doing for you now. But one day you'll understand.”
Yesu sa niwu na tre, “Ikpe wa mi si ti'a una to na zizan? U to ni ton u ye (ajima).
8 “No!” Peter protested. “You'll never wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “If I don't wash you, you have no part 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 “Then, Lord, wash not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Simon Peter exclaimed.
Siman Bitrus hla niwu, “Bachi, na ngla zamu migyen na, ngla womu ni tu mu.”
10 Jesus responded, “Those who have had a bath only need to wash their feet and then they're clean all over. You are clean—but not all of you.”
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 who was going to betray him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
(Yesu a to indji wa ani kawu le, kima sa wa tre naki, ana wawu mbi bi tsatsra na).
12 After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his robe back on, and sat down. “Do you understand what I've done to you?” he asked them.
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 rightly so, for that's who I am.
Bi yo me ni 'Mala' ni 'Bachi,' u bi yo me tsra, a naki mi he.
14 So if I, your Teacher and Lord, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.
U to Me wa mi Bachi ni Mala, u mi ngla za mbi, biyi ngame bika ngla za ni kpambi.
15 I have set you an example, so you should do just as I did.
U mi tsro yi misali, ni ndu ti na wa mi tie ni yiwu.
16 I tell you the truth, servants are not more important than their master, and the one sent is not greater than the sender.
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 Now that you understand these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Bita to kpi biyi, bi-bi lulu ni nde bi ti ba.
18 I'm not talking about all of you—I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill Scripture: ‘The one who shares my food has turned 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 I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so when it does happen you will be convinced that I am who 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 I tell you the truth, whoever welcomes anyone I send welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one 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 After he had said this, Jesus was deeply troubled, and declared: “I tell you the truth, one of you is going to 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 The disciples looked at each other, wondering which of them Jesus was talking about.
Almajire ba ba kma ya kpa mba, na ni tamre, ka ahi nha ni mi mba a si tre ni tu ma.
23 The disciple whom Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table, leaning close him.
Iri nimi almajire ma, wa Yesu ni son, ahe ni tebru, na kunyre ni san Yesu.
24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one he was talking about.
Siman Bitrus hla ni almajire bika minye, “Ndu hla tawu a hi nha a si tre ni tu ma.”
25 So he leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
Wa hla bru kunyre ni san Yesu, na tre niwu, Bachi, ahi nha?
26 Jesus replied, “It's the one to whom I will give a piece of bread after I have dipped it.”
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 After dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Once Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him. “What you're going to do, do it quickly,” Jesus told him.
Ni kogon bredi'a u ibrji a ri ni wu, u Yesu hla niwu, “Ikpe wa u son ti'a, uka ti gbagbla.”
28 No one at the table understood what Jesus meant by this.
Indrjori na la he ni tebru na, wa ani to ikpe wa yo'a hla niwu naki'a.
29 Since Judas was in charge of the money some of them thought that Jesus was telling him to go and buy what was needed for the Passover festival, or to donate something to the poor.
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 Judas left immediately after he'd taken the piece of bread, and went out into the night.
Ni kogon wa Yahuda a kpa bredi'a, wa rju gbagbla gbagbla me ni chu me.
31 After he'd left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of man is glorified, and through him God is glorified.
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 is glorified through him, then God will glorify the Son himself, and will glorify him immediately.
Irji ni no ninkon ni mi ma, ani no ninkon zizan zizan.
33 My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, but I'm telling you now just as I told the Jews: you cannot come where I'm going.
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 am giving you a new command: Love one another. Love one another in the same way I have loved you.
Mi si no yi indu ri sama, son kpa mbi, na wa mi son yi, na bi ka son kpambi.
35 If you love one another you will prove to everyone that you are my disciples.”
Na ko nha ni to yi ndi bi almajire mu, inde bi son kpambi.”
36 Simon Peter asked him, “Where are you going, Lord?” Jesus answered, “You can't follow me now where I'm going. You will follow me later.”
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 “Lord, why can't I follow you now?” Peter asked. “I'll 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 “Are you really ready to die for me? I tell you the truth: before the cock crows you will deny me three times,” Jesus replied.
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
