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.
Tu in paisanpoai mahiat, Jesus leitung pan pusuak a, Pa kung a pai tu hun hong theng zo hi, ci a heak ciang in, leitung ah a om a mite it a, a tawpdong in it hi.
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).
Nitak an a neak zawk uh ciang in, Simon tapa Judah Iscariot thinsung ah doaimangpa in Jesus leheak tu thu koi hi;
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.
Pa in a khutsung ah na theampo pia siat zo hi, ci le Ama sia Pathian kung pan hongpai a, Pathian kung ah paikik tu hi, ci Jesus in he ahikom;
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].
Nitak an a neak na mun pan ding a, a puan te a sut zawkciang in; dial khat la a, a kawng ah vet hi.
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.
Tua zawkciang in kuangdal sung ah tui sung a, a nungzui te peang silsak hi, taciang, a kawng ah a ve dial taw nawlsak hi.
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!”
Simon Peter kung a thet ciang in, Peter in, Topa awng, nangma in ka peang hong silsak tu ni ziam? ci hi.
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
Jesus in zo kik a, Ka vawt nate tu in na he bua hi; ahihang nungsang ciang in na he kik tu hi, ci hi.
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)
Peter in, bangmahun in nangma in ka peang hong silsak ngei ngawl tu ni hi, ci hi. Jesus in, Na peang ka sil bua ahile, kei taw ki zopna na nei bua hi, ci in zo hi. (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]!”
Simon Peter in, Topa awng, ka peang bek hi ngawl in, ka khut te le ka lu zong hong sil tan, ci hi.
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.”
Jesus in, A kibual sa khat sia a peang sil tu simngawl a dang kul nawn ngawl hi, banghangziam cile a pum bup thiangtho zo hi: taciang note na thiangtho uh hi, ahihang na vekpi in na thiangtho bua uh hi, ci hi.
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.”
Banghangziam cile Jesus in Ama a leheak tu sia hekhol hi; tua ahikom na vekpi in na thiang bua uh hi, a ci a hihi.
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?
Tua ahikom Jesus in amate peang te a silsak zawkciang, a puan te silkik a, to kik hi, taciang amate tung ah, Note tung ah ka vawt thu na he uh ziam?
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.
Note in, Syapa le Topa awng, ci in nong sam uh hi: nong ci uh sia pha hi; banghangziam cile nong sap uh bang in hi tatak khi hi.
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.
Na Topa le Syapa, keima in na peang uh hong silsak ka hile; note zong khat le khat na peang uh na ki silsak tu uh a hihi.
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
Banghangziam cile keima in note tung ah ka vawt bang in, note in zong vawt tu in ette tu kong pia zo hi.
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].
A tatak in kong ci hi, sal sia a topa sang in lianzaw ngawl hi; a ki sawl khat zong a sawlpa sang in lianzaw ngawl hi.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
Hi thu te na he uh a na vawt uh a hile, mi thuphatoai te na hi uh hi.
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].’
Na vekpi i thu hong son ka hi bua hi: ka tealsa te ka he hi: ahihang laithiangtho in, keima taw anluum a nekhawm pa in keima langpan in a siakmit lam zo hi, a ci thu a tangtun natu a hihi.
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]).
Tu in kong sonkhol hi, hi thu a pian ciang in, note in keima sia Ama hi, ci na um tu uh hi.
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.”
A tatak in kong ci hi, ka sawlpa a sang peuma in, keima hong sang hi; taciang keima hong sang peuma in keima hong sawlpa a sang a hihi, ci hi.
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.”
Jesus thu a son zawkciang in, a thinngim in om a, tettipang hi, taciang, A tatak in kong ci hi, note sung pan khat in hong leheak tu nu hi, ci hi.
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
Tua zawkciang in nungzui te in kua thu son ziam? ci in khat le khat ki muangmaw in ki en uh hi.
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
Tu in nungzui te sung pan khat, Jesus i a it pa in, Jesus kang neal hi.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
Tua ahikom Simon Peter in tua pa khoiku a, a kua thu son ziam, ci dongsak hi.
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Tua zawkciang in Jesus kang a neal pa in, Topa awng, a kua ziam? ci hi.
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]).
Jesus in, Anluum ka bal sa sia ka dia zawkciang in ka piakpa sia hi, ci in zo hi. Taciang anluum a bal sa sia a dia zawkciang, Simon tapa Judah Iscariot pia hi.
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.”
Anluum a piak zawkciang in, Judah Iscariot sung ah Satan tum hi. Tua zawkciang in Jesus in Judah Iscariot tung ah, Na vawt tuteng manlang in vawt in, ci hi.
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
Tu in Jesus in bang sawm in Judah Iscariot tung ah thuson ziam, ci sia sabuai kim a to te kuama in a he bua uh hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile Judah sia dangka bawm keampa ahikom in, nungzui pawlkhat te in, Jesus in poai atu in a kisam te leisak hi tu hi; a hibale, mizawng te bang khatpo piasak hi tu hi, ci in ngaisun uh hi.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
Judah in Jesus i piak anluum la a thakhat thu in pusuak hi: tua hun sia zan a hihi.
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.
Tua ahikom, Judah a pusua zawkciang in, Jesus in, Tu in mihing Tapa sia ki minthangsak zo hi, taciang Pathian vangletna sia Ama sung ah kilang tu hi.
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.
Ama sung ah Pathian minthanna a kilang le, Pathian in zong mihing Tapa minthanna sia Ama sung mama pan in kilangsak tu hi
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].
Tano te awng, note taw hun tomno sung om lai tu khi hi. Judah mite tung ah ka son bang in, note in nong zong tu uh hi, ka paina mun ah note hongpai thei ngawl nu hi; tua ahikom tu in kong son hi.
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.
Thupiak a thak kong pia hi, keima in note kong it bang in, note zong khat le khat ki it tavun.
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
Khat le khat na ki it uh le, ngual in keima nungzui te na hi uh mi theampo in hong he tu hi, ci hi.
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.”
Simon Peter in, Topa awng, koisung pai tu ni ziam? ci hi. Jesus in, Ka pai na mun ah tu in hong zui thei ngawl lai ni hi; ahihang nungsang ciang in hong zui tu ni hi, ci in zo hi.
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
Peter in, Topa awng, banghang in tu in hong zui thei ngawl lai khi ziam? Nangma atu in ka nuntakna dong pia tu khi hi, ci hi.
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!”
Jesus in, Keima atu in na nuntakna pia tu ni ziam? A tatak in kong ci hi, thumvei nong nial mateng akkhuang ngawl tu hi.
