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.
Prima della festa di Pasqua Gesù, sapendo che era giunta la sua ora di passare da questo mondo al Padre, dopo aver amato i suoi che erano nel mondo, li amò sino alla fine.
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).
Mentre cenavano, quando gia il diavolo aveva messo in cuore a Giuda Iscariota, figlio di Simone, di tradirlo,
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.
Gesù sapendo che il Padre gli aveva dato tutto nelle mani e che era venuto da Dio e a Dio ritornava,
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].
si alzò da tavola, depose le vesti e, preso un asciugatoio, se lo cinse attorno alla vita.
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.
Poi versò dell'acqua nel catino e cominciò a lavare i piedi dei discepoli e ad asciugarli con l'asciugatoio di cui si era cinto.
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!”
Venne dunque da Simon Pietro e questi gli disse: «Signore, tu lavi i piedi a me?».
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
Rispose Gesù: «Quello che io faccio, tu ora non lo capisci, ma lo capirai dopo».
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)
Gli disse Simon Pietro: «Non mi laverai mai i piedi!». Gli rispose Gesù: «Se non ti laverò, non avrai parte con me». (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]!”
Gli disse Simon Pietro: «Signore, non solo i piedi, ma anche le mani e il capo!».
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.”
Soggiunse Gesù: «Chi ha fatto il bagno, non ha bisogno di lavarsi se non i piedi ed è tutto mondo; e voi siete mondi, ma non tutti».
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.”
Sapeva infatti chi lo tradiva; per questo disse: «Non tutti siete mondi».
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?
Quando dunque ebbe lavato loro i piedi e riprese le vesti, sedette di nuovo e disse loro: «Sapete ciò che vi ho fatto?
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.
Voi mi chiamate Maestro e Signore e dite bene, perché lo sono.
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.
Se dunque io, il Signore e il Maestro, ho lavato i vostri piedi, anche voi dovete lavarvi i piedi gli uni gli altri.
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
Vi ho dato infatti l'esempio, perché come ho fatto io, facciate anche voi.
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].
In verità, in verità vi dico: un servo non è più grande del suo padrone, né un apostolo è più grande di chi lo ha mandato.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
Sapendo queste cose, sarete beati se le metterete in pratica.
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].’
Non parlo di tutti voi; io conosco quelli che ho scelto; ma si deve adempiere la Scrittura: Colui che mangia il pane con me, ha levato contro di me il suo calcagno.
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]).
Ve lo dico fin d'ora, prima che accada, perché, quando sarà avvenuto, crediate che Io Sono.
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.”
In verità, in verità vi dico: Chi accoglie colui che io manderò, accoglie me; chi accoglie me, accoglie colui che mi ha mandato».
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.”
Dette queste cose, Gesù si commosse profondamente e dichiarò: «In verità, in verità vi dico: uno di voi mi tradirà».
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
I discepoli si guardarono gli uni gli altri, non sapendo di chi parlasse.
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
Ora uno dei discepoli, quello che Gesù amava, si trovava a tavola al fianco di Gesù.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
Simon Pietro gli fece un cenno e gli disse: «Dì, chi è colui a cui si riferisce?».
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Ed egli reclinandosi così sul petto di Gesù, gli disse: «Signore, chi è?».
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]).
Rispose allora Gesù: «E' colui per il quale intingerò un boccone e glielo darò». E intinto il boccone, lo prese e lo diede a Giuda Iscariota, figlio di Simone.
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.”
E allora, dopo quel boccone, satana entrò in lui. Gesù quindi gli disse: «Quello che devi fare fallo al più presto».
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
Nessuno dei commensali capì perché gli aveva detto questo;
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.
alcuni infatti pensavano che, tenendo Giuda la cassa, Gesù gli avesse detto: «Compra quello che ci occorre per la festa», oppure che dovesse dare qualche cosa ai poveri.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
Preso il boccone, egli subito uscì. Ed era notte.
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.
Quand'egli fu uscito, Gesù disse: «Ora il Figlio dell'uomo è stato glorificato, e anche Dio è stato glorificato in lui.
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.
Se Dio è stato glorificato in lui, anche Dio lo glorificherà da parte sua e lo glorificherà subito.
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].
Figlioli, ancora per poco sono con voi; voi mi cercherete, ma come ho gia detto ai Giudei, lo dico ora anche a voi: dove vado io voi non potete venire.
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.
Vi do un comandamento nuovo: che vi amiate gli uni gli altri; come io vi ho amato, così amatevi anche voi gli uni gli altri.
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
Da questo tutti sapranno che siete miei discepoli, se avrete amore gli uni per gli altri».
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 Pietro gli dice: «Signore, dove vai?». Gli rispose Gesù: «Dove io vado per ora tu non puoi seguirmi; mi seguirai più tardi».
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
Pietro disse: «Signore, perché non posso seguirti ora? Darò la mia vita per te!».
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!”
Rispose Gesù: «Darai la tua vita per me? In verità, in verità ti dico: non canterà il gallo, prima che tu non m'abbia rinnegato tre volte».
