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.
Ku lunaku olukulembera Embaga ey’Okuyitako, Yesu yamanya ng’ekiseera kye kituuse ave mu nsi muno agende eri Kitaawe. Yesu bwe yayagala ababe mu nsi, yabalagira ddala okwagala kwe kwonna okutuusiza ddala ku kiseera ekisembayo.
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.
Bwe baali balya ekyekiro, Setaani yali yamaze dda okuteeka mu mutima gwa Yuda Isukalyoti, omwana wa Simooni, ekirowoozo eky’okulya mu Yesu olukwe.
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.
Yesu bwe yamanya nti Kitaawe yateeka byonna mu mikono gye, era nga yava wa Katonda ate gy’adda,
4 So Jesus stood up from eating supper, took off his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist.
n’asituka ku mmere, ne yeggyako omunagiro gwe, ne yeesiba ettawulo mu kiwato,
5 He poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him.
n’ateeka amazzi mu bensani, n’atandika okunaaza abayigirizwa be ebigere nga bw’abasiimuuza ettawulo gye yali yeesibye.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Bwe yatuuka ku Simooni Peetero, Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, ggwe onnaaze ebigere?”
7 Jesus replied, “You won't realize what I'm doing for you now. But one day you'll understand.”
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ensonga enkozesa kino togimanyi kaakano, wabula ekiseera kirituuka n’ogitegeera.”
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)
Peetero n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda, tolinnaaza bigere emirembe gyonna.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Bwe siikunaaze bigere, nga tossa kimu nange.” (aiōn g165)
9 “Then, Lord, wash not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Simon Peter exclaimed.
Simooni Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, tonnaaza bigere byokka, naye nnaaza n’emikono n’omutwe.”
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 n’amuddamu nti, “Anaabye omubiri, aba teyeetaaga kunaaba okuggyako ebigere byokka, alyoke abe omulongoofu. Kaakano muli balongoofu, naye si mwenna.”
11 For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
Kubanga Yesu yamanya anaamulyamu olukwe. Kyeyava agamba nti, “Si mwenna abalongoofu.”
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.
Yesu bwe yamala okubanaaza ebigere n’ayambala omunagiro gwe, n’addayo n’atuula, n’abagamba nti, “Kye mbakoze mukitegedde?
13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that's who I am.
Mmwe mumpita Muyigiriza era Mukama wammwe, mukola bulungi okumpita bwe mutyo kubanga ddala bwe ntyo bwe ndi.
14 So if I, your Teacher and Lord, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.
Kale Nze Mukama wammwe era Omuyigiriza, nga bwe mbanaazizza ebigere, nammwe musaana okunaazagananga ebigere.
15 I have set you an example, so you should do just as I did.
Mbalaze ekyokulabirako, mukolenga nga Nze bwe mbakoze.
16 I tell you the truth, servants are not more important than their master, and the one sent is not greater than the sender.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Omuddu tasinga mukama we. Era n’oyo atumibwa tasinga oli amutumye.
17 Now that you understand these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Bwe mumanya ebintu bino muba n’omukisa bwe mubikola.
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.’
Ebintu bino byonna sibyogera nammwe mwenna, buli omu ku mmwe be nalonda mmumanyi; ekyawandiikibwa kituukirire ekigamba nti, ‘Oyo bwe tulya emmere anneefuukidde!’
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.
Kino nkibategeeza okuva kaakano, nga tekinnabaawo, bwe kinaabaawo mulyoke munzikirize.
20 I tell you the truth, whoever welcomes anyone I send welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me.”
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli asembeza gwe ntuma, ng’asembezezza Nze, era asembeza Nze ng’asembezezza oyo eyantuma.”
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.”
Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’alumwa nnyo mu mwoyo, n’agamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba, omu ku mmwe anandyamu olukwe.”
22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering which of them Jesus was talking about.
Abayigirizwa ne batunulaganako, nga tebamanyidde ddala gw’ayogerako.
23 The disciple whom Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table, leaning close him.
Omu ku bayigirizwa, Yesu gwe yayagalanga, yali agalamidde okumpi n’ekifuba kya Yesu,
24 Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one he was talking about.
Simooni Peetero n’amutemyako ng’amugamba nti, “Mutubuulize gw’ayogerako.”
25 So he leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
Kale bwe yaddayo okugalamira ng’aliraanye ekifuba kya Yesu, n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama waffe, gw’oyogerako ye ani?”
26 Jesus replied, “It's the one to whom I will give a piece of bread after I have dipped it.”
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Gwe nnaakoleza ekitole ne nkimuwa nga ye wuuyo.” Awo n’akwata ekitole, n’akikoza n’akiwa Yuda Isukalyoti omwana wa Simooni.
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.
Yuda bwe yamala okuweebwa ekitole ekyo, Setaani n’amuyingiramu. Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ky’okola kikole mangu!”
28 No one at the table understood what Jesus meant by this.
Ku baali balya tewaali n’omu eyategeera kyeyava amugamba bw’atyo.
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.
Abamu baalowooza nti nga Yuda bwe yali atereka ensimbi, Yesu amugambye agende agule bye beetaaga ku mbaga, oba nti abeeko by’agabira abaavu.
30 Judas left immediately after he'd taken the piece of bread, and went out into the night.
Yuda olwafuna ekitole, amangwago n’afuluma ebweru; obudde bwali kiro.
31 After he'd left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of man is glorified, and through him God is glorified.
Yuda olwafuluma, Yesu n’agamba nti, “Kaakano Omwana w’Omuntu agulumizibbwa ne Katonda agulumizibbwa mu ye.
32 If God is glorified through him, then God will glorify the Son himself, and will glorify him immediately.
Era obanga Katonda agulumizibbwa mu ye, Katonda yeegulumiza ye yennyini, era amangwago ajja kumugulumiza.
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.
“Baana bange, akaseera katono ke nkyali nammwe. Mulinnoonya era nga bwe nagamba Abayudaaya nti, ‘Gye ŋŋenda mmwe temuyinza kujjayo,’ era nammwe bwe mbagamba kaakano.
34 I am giving you a new command: Love one another. Love one another in the same way I have loved you.
“Mbawa ekiragiro ekiggya: Mwagalanenga nga nze bwe mbaagala.
35 If you love one another you will prove to everyone that you are my disciples.”
Bwe munaayagalananga abantu bonna kwe banaategeereranga nti muli bayigirizwa bange.”
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.”
Awo Simooni Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama waffe olaga wa?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Tosobola kugenda nange kaakano, wabula olingoberera oluvannyuma.”
37 “Lord, why can't I follow you now?” Peter asked. “I'll lay down my life for you.”
Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama wange, lwaki siyinza kukugoberera kaakano? Nnaawaayo obulamu bwange ku lulwo.”
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 n’amuddamu nti, “Onoowaayo obulamu bwo ku lwange? Ddala ddala nkugamba nti, Enkoko eneeba tennakookolima, ononneegaana emirundi esatu.”
