< John 13 >

1 NOW before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come, that he should go out of this world to the Father, having loved his peculiar people that are in the world, he loved them to the end.
Iweriti lishaka lya pamberi pa msambu gwa Pasaka. Yesu kavimaniti handa saa yakuwi isoka ya kuwuka pasipanu na kugenda kwa Tati. Shipindi shoseri yomberi kawafiriti nentu wantu wa pasipanu yawaweriti wakuwi, na kawafiriti mpaka lupeleru!
2 And supper being served, (the devil having now injected into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, that he should betray him; )
Yesu pamuhera na wantumini wakuwi waweriti walivaga kuliya shiboga sha pamihi. Shetani kingiriti kala mumoyu mwa Yuda, mwana gwa Simoni Isikariyoti, maholu ga kumgalambuka Yesu.
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came out from God, and was going to God;
Yesu kavimaniti handa Tati kaweriti kamupa makakala, kavimaniti kuwera kalawa kwa Mlungu na kaweriti kankugenda kwa Mlungu.
4 he rises from supper, and lays aside his garments, and taking a towel, he wound it about himself.
Su, kawukiti pameza, kayikusa nguwu yakuwi, katola shitambala na kulitawa mushyunu mwakuwi.
5 Then he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was begirt.
Shakapanu katula mashi mubakuli, kanja kuwagulula magulu wafundwa wakuwi kugapukuta kwa shitambala shilii shakashitawiti mushinu mwakuwi.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and he saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
Pakiziti kwa Simoni Peteru, nayomberi katakula, “Mtuwa, hashi gwenga gwiza kugagulula magulu ganeni?”
7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
Yesu kamwankula, “Gwenga hapeni gwerewi vinu shantenda ashi, kumbiti hagwelewi shakapanu.”
8 Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet: no, never. Jesus answered him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. (aiōn g165)
Peteru kamgambira, “Gwenga hapeni gungululi magulu gangu nakamu!” Yesu kamwankula, “Pangulula ndiri magulu gaku, hapeni guweri ntumintumi gwangu kayi.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
Simoni Peteru kamwankula, “Mtuwa, nagungululi magulu hera! Gugagululi mawoku gangu na mtuwi viraa.”
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed hath need only to wash his feet, for he is entirely clean: and ye are clean, but not all.
Yesu kamgambira, “Yawakoga kala wawera waherepa na wafiruwa ndiri kunawa ira magulu gawu. Mwenga muherepa, kumbiti mwawoseri ndiri.”
11 (For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, Ye are not all clean.)
Yesu kamumaniti kala ulii yakagenda kumgalambuka, ndo mana kalongiti, “Mwenga muherepa, kumbiti yumu kaherepa ndiri.”
12 When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done unto you?
Pakamaliriti kuwagulula magulu gawu, kavulumula nguwu yakuwi, na kalivagiti pahala pakuwi pakwegera na meza, su yomberi kawakosiya, “Hashi, mwerewa shanuwatenderani mwenga?”
13 Ye call me Master, and Lord: and ye speak truly; for such I am.
“Mwenga munshema mfunda na Mtuwa, mwenga mtakula weri toziya ndo neni.
14 If therefore I have washed your feet, though the Lord and the Master; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Paiwera neni Mtuwa gwenu na mfunda gwenu, nuwanaviya magulu mwenga, mwenga viraa mfiruwa kulinawiviyana magulu.
15 For I have given you an example, that just as I have done to you, ye should do also.
Nukupanani kala mfanu, su mwenga mtendi viraa ntambu yanuwatenderani.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his master; nor the messenger greater than him that sent him.
Nuwagambirani nakaka, wantumintumi wakulu ndiri kuliku mtuwa gwawu na ntumintumi hapeni kaweri mkulu kuliku ulii yakantumiti.
17 If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye practise them.
Vinu muumana unakaka awu, hamuweri na sekuseku pamgatenda.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me.
“Aga gantakula gawawusu ndiri mwenga mawoseri. Neni nuwamana walii yanuwasyaguliti. Kumbiti mpaka gatimii Malembu Mananagala gaweri nakaka ntambu yagalembwa, ‘Muntu yakaliyiti pamuhera naneni shiboga shangu hakang'alambuki’.
19 Now I tell you previously, before this comes to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe that I am.
Neni nuwagambireni vitwatira avi vinu pamberi kulawira. Su pagalawila mpati kujimira kuwera ‘Neni ndo Mweni’.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I shall send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
Nuwagambireni nakaka, yakamshemera yoseri ulii yanumtumiti, kanshemera neni viraa na yakanshemera neni ndo kamshemera ulii yakantumiti.”
21 As Jesus was speaking these words, he was greatly agitated in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
Yesu pakatakuliti kala aga, kahinginikiti nentu mumoyu, katakula pota kufifa, “Nakaka nuwagambireni, yumu gwenu hakamgalambuki!”
22 Then the disciples looked one at another, doubting of whom he spake.
Wafundwa walilola weni, su waweriti wavimana ndiri handa gaa hakamgalambuki.
23 Now there was one of the disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.
Yumu gwa wafundwa, mweni Yesu ndo yakamfiriti nentu, kaweriti kalivaga pakwegera na Yesu.
24 Therefore Simon Peter gave him a significant look, that he should inquire of Jesus, which of them it should be of whom he spake.
Simoni Peteru kamlanguziya kwa mawoku, kamgambira “Gumkosiyi katakula kuusu gaa.”
25 And he leaning on the breast of Jesus, said to him, Lord, which is it?
Su ntumintumi ulii kasegelera nentu uwega wa Yesu, kamkosiya, “Mtuwa, ndo gaa?”
26 Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel of bread, when I have dipped it. And dipping the morsel of bread, he gave it unto Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
Yesu kamwankula, “Ulii yanumupa shipandi sha libumunda shantotiti musahani, ndo mweni.” Su, kashitola shipandi sha libumunda, kashitota musahani, kamupa Yuda, mwana gwa Simoni Isikariyoti.
27 And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus saith to him, What thou doest, do quickly.
Yuda pakayankiti kala shipandi sha libumunda, Shetani kamwingiriti yomberi. Su, Yesu kamgambiriti Yuda, “Gutendi kanongola shilii shagufira kutenda!”
28 Now none of those who sat at table knew wherefore he had spoken to him.
Woseri yawalivagiti kuliya shiboga wavimaniti ndiri kwantambu gaa Yesu katakuriti aga kwa yomberi.
29 For some supposed, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
Yuda kaweriti mkola mpiya pakati pawu, wavimaniti kuwera Yesu kamgambiriti hakahemeri vilii vyawafiruwa mumsambu, ama kamgambiriti kakalaviyi shoseri kwa wahushu.
30 Having then received the sop, he went out immediately: now it was night.
Su Yuda pakayankiti kala shipandi shilii sha libumunda, palaa paliya kalawa kunja. Na iweriti Pashiru.
31 When therefore he was gone, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
Yuda pakawukiti kala, Yesu kalonga, “Vinu ukwisa wa Mwana gwa Muntu ugubutulwa, vinu ukwisa wa Mlungu ugubutulwa kupitira yomberi.
32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him with himself, and immediately glorify him.
Handa ukwisa wa Mlungu paugubutulwa kupitira yomberi, su Mlungu hakaulanguziyi ukwisa wa Mwana gwa Muntu mngati mwakuwi, kamukamu hakatendi hangu.
33 My dear children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: as I said to the Jews, Whither I am going, ye cannot come; so say I now to you.
Wana wangu, nankali na mwenga katepu hera. Hamunsakuli, kumbiti vinu nukugambirani galii ganuwagambiriti kala wakulu wa Wayawudi, ‘Pang'endaku, mwenga hapeni mgendi.’
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Vinu nukupanani lilagaliru lya syayi, mulifiri weni. Handa yanukufirani mwenga, viraa vilii mulifiri weni.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Handa pamulifira weni, wantu woseri hawavimani kuwera mwenga ndo wafundwa waneni”.
36 Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, Whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me hereafter.
Simoni Peteru kamkosiya Yesu, “Mtuwa gwankugenda koshi?” Yesu kamwankula, “Hapeni guwezi kunfata vinu kwang'endaku, kumbiti shakapanu hamunfati.”
37 Peter saith to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
Peteru kamkosiya, “Mtuwa, kwantambu gaa nsindi kukufata vinu? Nakali kuhowa kwajili ya gwenga!”
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I tell thee, the cock will not crow, before thou shalt deny me thrice.
Yesu kamwankula, “Hashi, ndo wakala nakaka kuhowa kwajili ya neni? Nukugambira nakaka, pamberi njogolu keniwiki, hagunemi mala tatu kuwera gumana ndiri neni.”
