John 13
1 When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and [to return] to [his] Father [in heaven]. He loved us who [were his disciples]. He knew [we would continue to live here] in this world, so now he [showed us] how completely he loved us.
| ܩܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܥܐܕܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܛܬ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܢܫܢܐ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܐܚܒ ܠܕܝܠܗ ܕܒܗܢܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܐܚܒ ܐܢܘܢ |
2 We were eating [the Passover meal]. (The devil/Satan) had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the son of Simon, that he should (betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
| ܘܟܕ ܗܘܬ ܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܤܛܢܐ ܒܠܒܗ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ |
3 But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority [to control the situation]. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܝܗܒ ܐܒܐ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܩ ܘܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܙܠ |
4 [But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other]. [So] he got up from where he was eating. He took off his [outer] cloak and wrapped a [long] towel around his waist, [as a slave would do].
| ܩܡ ܡܢ ܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܘܤܡ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܘܫܩܠ ܤܕܘܢܐ ܡܚܐ ܒܚܨܘܗܝ |
5 Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.
| ܘܐܪܡܝ ܡܝܐ ܒܡܫܓܬܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܫܓܘ ܪܓܠܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܡܫܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܤܕܘܢܐ ܕܡܚܐ ܒܚܨܘܗܝ |
6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you [RHQ] to [humble yourself by] washing my feet!”
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܢܬ ܡܪܝ ܪܓܠܝ ܡܫܝܓ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ |
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
| ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܗܫܐ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܕܥ |
8 Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܡܫܝܓ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܪܓܠܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܝܓ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܠܝܬ ܠܟ ܥܡܝ ܡܢܬܐ (aiōn g165) |
9 So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܕܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܪܓܠܝ ܬܫܝܓ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܦ ܪܫܝ |
10 [Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins] [MET], Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, [because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads]. The [rest of their bodies are] clean. Similarly, I have made you [disciples] free/clean [from the guilt of your sins], although not all of you are free from guilt.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܕܤܚܐ ܠܐ ܤܢܝܩ ܐܠܐ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܢܫܝܓ ܟܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܐ ܗܘ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܝܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܟܠܟܘܢ |
11 He knew which one [of us] was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”
| ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܫܠܡ ܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܝܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ |
12 After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܝܓ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܫܩܠ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܘܐܤܬܡܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܠܟܘܢ |
13 You [show that you respect me by] calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.
| ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܪܒܢ ܘܡܪܢ ܘܫܦܝܪ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܬܝ ܓܝܪ |
14 But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to [serve each other by doing things like] washing each other’s feet.
| ܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܪܟܘܢ ܘܪܒܟܘܢ ܐܫܝܓܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܝܓܘܢ ܪܓܠܐ ܚܕ ܕܚܕ |
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
| ܗܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ |
16 Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. [So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other].
| ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܡܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܗ |
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
| ܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܕܥܘܢ ܛܘܒܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܐܢܝܢ |
18 “I am not saying that [God will bless] all of you. I knew [what all of you were like when] I chose you. But [I also chose the one who will betray me], in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is [acting like he is my friend by] eating with me has become my enemy [IDM].’
| ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܓܒܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܢܫܠܡ ܕܗܘ ܕܐܟܠ ܥܡܝ ܠܚܡܐ ܐܪܝܡ ܥܠܝ ܥܩܒܗ |
19 I am telling you [about someone betraying me] before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ([the Messiah/who I say I am]).
| ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ |
20 Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, [God will consider that] they are accepting me. And those who accept me, [God will consider that] they are accepting [my Father], who sent me.”
| ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ |
21 After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
| ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܥܙܙ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܤܗܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܢܫܠܡܢܝ |
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
| ܚܪܘ ܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܕ ܒܚܕ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܥܠ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪ |
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
| ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܚܕ ܕܤܡܝܟ ܗܘܐ ܒܥܘܒܗ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ |
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
| ܠܗܢܐ ܪܡܙ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܕܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܕܡܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪ ܥܠܘܗܝ |
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
| ܘܢܦܠ ܗܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܥܠ ܚܕܝܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ |
26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it [in the sauce in the dish].” Then, [to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him], after he dipped the bread [in the sauce], he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]).
| ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܨܒܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܘܨܒܥ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ |
27 As soon as [Judas ate] the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
| ܘܒܬܪ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܥܠܠ ܒܗ ܤܛܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܥܒܕ ܒܥܓܠ |
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
| ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܝܕܥ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܕܥܠ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ |
29 Since Judas took care of the money [people gave us to help us], some thought Jesus was telling him to [go and] buy some things we needed for the [Passover] celebration. [Some thought he was telling him] to give some money to poor people.
| ܐܢܫܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܤܒܪܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܓܠܘܤܩܡܐ ܨܐܕܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܕܡܦܩܕ ܦܩܕ ܠܗ ܕܢܙܒܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܐܘ ܕܢܬܠ ܡܕܡ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ |
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܢܤܒ ܠܚܡܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܘܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܠܒܪ ܠܠܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܢܦܩ |
31 After Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {[my Father] will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܫܐ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܒܗ |
32 Since by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.
| ܘܐܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܒܗ ܘܐܦ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܫܒܚ ܠܗ ܒܗ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܡܫܒܚ ܠܗ |
33 [You whom I love as though you were] my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come [yet].
| ܒܢܝ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܘܬܒܥܘܢܢܝ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܫܐ |
34 Now I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.
| ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܚܒܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܚܒܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ |
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
| ܒܗܕܐ ܢܕܥ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܘܬ ܚܕ |
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܪܢ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܐܬܐ |
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܪܝ ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟ ܗܫܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܚܠܦܝܟ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ |
38 Jesus answered, “[You say] [RHQ] that you [are ready] to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows [early tomorrow morning], you will say three times that you do not [know] me!”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܦܫܟ ܚܠܦܝ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܟܦܘܪ ܒܝ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ |
