< John 13 >
1 Nowe before the feast of the Passeouer, when Iesus knewe that his houre was come, that he should depart out of this world vnto the Father, forasmuch as he loued his owne which were in the world, vnto the end he loued them.
Adeɛ rebɛkye ama Twam Afahyɛ no aduru no, Yesu hunuu sɛ afei, berɛ aso sɛ ɔfiri ewiase kɔ nʼAgya nkyɛn. Yesu yɛ obi a na ɔdɔ nʼakyidifoɔ, na ɔdɔɔ wɔn kɔsii sɛ ɔwuiɛ.
2 And when supper was done (and that the deuill had now put in the heart of Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne, to betray him)
Ɛberɛ a na Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ te adidiiɛ no, ɔbonsam kɔhyɛɛ Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ Simon ba no mu sɛ ɔnyi Yesu mma.
3 Iesus knowing that the Father had giuen all things into his hands, and that he was come forth from God, and went to God,
Yesu nim sɛ nʼAgya de tumi nyinaa ahyɛ ne nsa, na ɔfiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na ɔbaeɛ, na ɔresane akɔ ne nkyɛn.
4 He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his vpper garments, and tooke a towel, and girded himselfe.
Yesu sɔre firii didipono no ho, yii nʼatadeɛ ngugusoɔ guu hɔ, de mpepaho twaa nʼasene.
5 After that, hee powred water into a basen, and began to wash the disciples feete, and to wipe them with the towell, wherewith he was girded.
Ɔhwiee nsuo guu dwaresɛn bi mu na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ hohoroo asuafoɔ no nan ase de mpepaho no pepaeɛ.
6 Then came he to Simon Peter, who sayd to him, Lord, doest thou wash my feete?
Ɛberɛ a Yesu duruu Simon Petro so no, Petro bisaa no sɛ. “Awurade, worebɛhohoro me nan ase anaa?”
7 Iesus answered and sayd vnto him, What I doe, thou knowest not nowe: but thou shalt knowe it hereafter.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Deɛ mereyɛ yi, worente aseɛ seesei, nanso akyire no wobɛte aseɛ.”
8 Peter said vnto him, Thou shalt neuer wash my feete. Iesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt haue no part with me. (aiōn )
Petro ampene asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no so kaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ wo na ɛsɛ sɛ wohohoro me nan ase.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ manhohoro wo nan ase a, na wonka me ho.” (aiōn )
9 Simon Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, not my feete onely, but also the hands and the head.
Simon Petro kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛnneɛ na ɛnyɛ me nan ase nko, na mmom, me nsa ho ne me tirim nso ka ho.”
10 Iesus sayd to him, He that is washed, needeth not, saue to wash his feete, but is cleane euery whit: and ye are cleane, but not all.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Obiara a wadware no, adwareɛ ho nhia no bio gye ne nan ase nko na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhohoro, ne onipadua no deɛ, efi biara nni ho. Mo nyinaa ho ate, gye mo mu baako pɛ.”
11 For hee knewe who should betray him: therefore sayd he, Ye are not all cleane.
Na Yesu nim onipa ko a ɔrebɛyi no ama no, ɛno enti na ɔkaa sɛ ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔn ho ate no.
12 So after he had washed their feete, and had taken his garments, and was set downe againe, he sayd vnto them, Knowe ye what I haue done to you?
Yesu hohoroo wɔn nan ase wieeɛ no, ɔfaa nʼatadeɛ ngugusoɔ no hyɛeɛ, sane kɔtenaa didipono no ho. Afei, ɔbisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mote deɛ mayɛ yi ase anaa?
13 Ye call me Master, and Lord, and ye say well: for so am I.
Mofrɛ me ‘Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ’ ne ‘Awurade’ a, modi me frɛ; ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno ne deɛ meyɛ.
14 If I then your Lord, and Master, haue washed your feete, ye also ought to wash one an others feete.
Sɛ me a meyɛ mo Awurade ne Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no mpo ahohoro mo nan ase a, ɛnneɛ, na ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso mohohoro hohoro mo ho mo ho nan ase.
15 For I haue giuen you an example, that ye should doe, euen as I haue done to you.
Mayɛ yei de ayɛ nhwɛsoɔ ama mo sɛdeɛ mo nso mobɛyɛ saa ara.
16 Verely, verely I say vnto you, The seruant is not greater then his master, neither the ambassadour greater then he that sent him.
Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, akoa nsene ne wura; saa ara nso na ɔsomafoɔ nsene deɛ ɔsomaa no no.
17 If ye know these things, blessed are ye, if ye doe them.
Afei a moate deɛ meyɛeɛ no ase yi, sɛ moyɛ saa bi a, mobɛnya nhyira.
18 I speake not of you all: I know whom I haue chosen: but it is that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift vp his heele against me.
“Ɛnyɛ mo nyinaa na mereka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ mo, menim wɔn a mayi wɔn. Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ Atwerɛsɛm a ɛka sɛ, ‘Onipa a ɔne me to nsa didi no, bɛyi me ama’ no ba mu.
19 From henceforth tell I you before it come, that when it is come to passe, ye might beleeue that I am he.
“Mereka yeinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo ansa na aba mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛgye adi.
20 Verely, verely I say vnto you, If I send any, he that receiueth him, receiueth me, and hee that receiueth me, receiueth him that sent me.
Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, obiara a ɔbɛgye deɛ masoma no no, ɔgye me nso, na obiara a ɔgye me no nso gye deɛ ɔsomaa me no.”
21 When Iesus had sayd these things, he was troubled in the Spirit, and testified, and said, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betray me.
Yesu kaa yeinom nyinaa wieeɛ no, ne ho yeraa no ma ɔpaee mu kaa sɛ, “Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo, mo mu baako bɛyi me ama!”
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
Asuafoɔ no de ahodwirie hwehwɛhwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu deɛ ɔde no no.
23 Nowe there was one of his disciples, which leaned on Iesus bosome, whom Iesus loued.
Na asuafoɔ no mu baako a Yesu pɛ nʼasɛm no te ne nkyɛn pɛɛ.
24 To him beckened therefore Simon Peter, that he should aske who it was of whom he spake.
Simon Petro buu nʼani sɛ, “Bisa no na ɔnkyerɛ wo onipa ko a ɔreka ne ho asɛm no.”
25 He then, as he leaned on Iesus breast, saide vnto him, Lord, who is it?
Ɛno enti saa osuani no twe bɛn Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, ɛyɛ hwan?”
26 Iesus answered, He it is, to whome I shall giue a soppe, when I haue dipt it: and hee wet a soppe, and gaue it to Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne.
Yesu buaa sɛ, “Deɛ mede burodo bɛbɔ mu ama no no, ɔno na ɔbɛyi me ama.” Na ɔde burodo bɔɔ mu de maa Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ Simon ba no.
27 And after the soppe, Satan entred into him. Then sayd Iesus vnto him, That thou doest, doe quickly.
Ɛberɛ a Yuda gyee burodo no pɛ na ɔbonsam bɛhyɛɛ ne mu. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Deɛ wopɛ sɛ woyɛ no, yɛ no ntɛm!”
28 But none of them that were at table, knew, for what cause he spake it vnto him.
Wɔn a na wɔte adidiiɛ no mu biara ante asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no no ase.
29 For some of them thought because Iudas had the bag, that Iesus had sayd vnto him, Buy those things that we haue neede of against ye feast: or that he should giue some thing to the poore.
Esiane sɛ Yuda na ɔhwɛ asuafoɔ no sika so enti, na wɔsusu sɛ, Yesu reka akyerɛ no sɛ, ɔnkɔtɔ biribi a ɛho hia ma afahyɛ no anaasɛ ɔnkɔma ahiafoɔ biribi.
30 Assoone then as he had receiued the soppe, he went immediately out, and it was night.
Yuda gyee burodo no pɛ na ɔfirii adi; saa ɛberɛ no na ɛyɛ anadwo.
31 When hee was gone out, Iesus sayd, Nowe is the Sonne of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
Yuda firii adi kɔeɛ akyi no, Yesu kaa sɛ, “Afei na Onipa Ba no animuonyam ada adi; na Onyankopɔn nam Ɔba no so ada nʼanimuonyam adi.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorifie him in himselfe, and shall straightway glorifie him.
Na sɛ ɛnam Ɔba no so na Onyankopɔn animuonyam da adi a, Onyankopɔn nso nam ne tumi so bɛda Onipa Ba no animuonyam adi. Ɔbɛyɛ yei ntɛm so.
33 Litle children, yet a litle while am I with you: ye shall seeke me, but as I sayde vnto the Iewes, Whither I goe, can ye not come: also to you say I nowe,
“Me mma, ɛrenkyɛre biara, mɛgya mo hɔ. Sɛdeɛ meka kyerɛɛ Yudafoɔ mpanin no, mobɛhwehwɛ me, nanso morentumi mma faako a merekɔ hɔ no.
34 A newe commandement giue I vnto you, that ye loue one another: as I haue loued you, that ye also loue one another.
“Ahyɛdeɛ foforɔ na mede regya mo sɛ, ‘Monnodɔ mo ho sɛdeɛ medɔ mo no.
35 By this shall all men knowe that ye are my disciples, if ye haue loue one to another.
Na sɛ mododɔ mo ho mo ho a, obiara bɛhunu sɛ moyɛ mʼasuafoɔ.’”
36 Simon Peter said vnto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Iesus answered him, Whither I goe, thou canst not follow me nowe: but thou shalt follow me afterward.
Simon Petro bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, ɛhe na worekɔ?” Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Faako a merekɔ no deɛ, worentumi nni mʼakyi; daakye bi wobɛba abɛka me ho.”
37 Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, why can I not follow thee now? I will lay downe my life for thy sake.
Petro bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, adɛn enti na merentumi nni wʼakyi saa ɛberɛ yi? Ɛyɛ owuo mpo a, mɛwu ama wo.”
38 Iesus answered him, Wilt thou lay downe thy life for my sake? Verely, verely I say vnto thee, The cocke shall not crowe, till thou haue denied me thrise.
Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Woasiesie wo ho ampa ara sɛ wobɛwu ama me anaa? Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ wo sɛ, ansa na akokɔ bɛbɔn no, na woapa me mprɛnsa.”
