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.
Henu kabla ya ligono lya sikukuu jha pasaka, kwa ndabha Yesu amanyili kujha saa jha muene jhifikili ambajho ibetakuhoma mu dunia ejhe kulota kwa dadi, ikajha bhajhele pa dunia, abhaganili upeo.
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).
Ni ibilisi ajhele abhekibhu tayari mu muoyo ghwa Yuda Iskariote, mwana ghwa simoni, kun'saliti Yesu.
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.
Yesu amanyili kujha dadi abhekili fenu fyoha mu mabhoko gha muene ni kwamba ahomili kwa K'yara na ajhele ilotakabhele kwa K'yara.
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].
Ajhemili pa kulya ni kutandika liguanda lya muene kwibhala. Kisha akalota litaulo ni kwik'onga muene.
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.
Kisha akabheka masi mu bakuli ni kujhanda kubhasuka magolo bhanafunzi bha muene ni kubhafuta ni litaulo ambalyo akikongili muene.
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!”
Akahida kwa Simoni Petro, ni Petro akan'jobhela, “Bwana, ghwilonda kunisambisya magolo ghangu?”
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
Yesu akajibu ni kubhajobhela, “Lyanibhomba ulimanyilepi henu, lakini wibetakumanya baadaye.”
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)
Petro akan'jobhela, “Wibetalepi kunisambisya magolo gha nene kamwe.” Yesu ajibili, “Ikajhelayi nibetalepi kusambisya wibetalepi kujha ni sehemu pamonga ni nene.” (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]!”
Simoni Petro akan'jobhela, “Bwana, usinisambisi magolo ghangu tu, bali pia ni mabhoko ni mutu bhwangu.”
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.”
Yesu akan'jobhela, “Jhejhioha jha amalili kujhogha ilondeka lepi kujhogha isipokujha magolo gha muene, na ajhele kinofu mb'ele ghwa muene bhwoha; muenga mujhele mwe bhanofu lakini sio mwe bhoha.”
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.”
Kwa kujha Yesu amanyili jhola jhaibetakun'saliti; ejhe ndo sababu ajobhili, mwebhoha lepi jha mujhele kinofu.”
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?
Wakati Yesu bho abhasambisi magolo gha bhene ni kutola livazi lya muene ni kutama kabhele, abhajobhili, “Je Mwijhelebhwa khela ambakyo nibhabhombili?
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.
Mukanikuta nene “Mwalimu” ni Bwana ejhe mwijobha bhukweli, ndabha ndo kya nijhele.
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.
Ikajhelayi nene Bwana ni Mwalimu, nibhasambisi magolo gha jhomu, namu kabhele jhikabhalondeka kubhasanbisya bhajhinyu magolo.
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
Kwa kujha nibhapelili mifuano ili kujha muenga mubhombayi kama nene kyanibhombili kwa muenga.
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].
Aminiayi, Aminiayi, nikabhajobhela n'tumwa mbaha lepi kuliko bwana ghwa muene; wala jhola jha atumibhu mbaha kuliko jha antumili.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
Ikajhiajhi umanyili mambo agha, ubarikibhu ukaghabhomba.
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].’
Nijobha lepi kuhusu muenga mwebhoha, kwa kujha nibhamanyili bhala ambabho ni bhachaguili - bali nijobha agha ili kwamba majhandiku ghabhwesyajhi kutimilizwa: 'Muene jha ilya nkate ghwangu, an'jhinulili kisigino kya muene.'
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]).
Nikabhajobhela ele henu kabla kyakona kuh'omela ili kwamba palibeta kuhomela, mubhwesyayi kukiera kujha nene NDO NE MUENE.
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.”
Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, jhaikanipokela nene akampokela jhola jha anilaghisye nene.”
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.”
Wakati Yesu ajobhili agha, asumbuiki mu roho, ashuhudili ni kujobha, “Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela kujha mmonga bhinu ibetakunisaliti.”
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
Bhanafunzi bha muene bhakalolesana, bhakashangala kwandabha jha niani ajobhili.”
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
Pajhele pameza mmonga ghwa bhanafunzi bha muene ajhegheme pakifua kya Yesu jhola ambajhe Yesu an'ganili.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
Simoni Petro akan'kota mwanafunzi ojho ni kujobha, “Tujobhilayi jholeku kwa muene ilongela.”
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Mwanafunzi jhola jha ajhegheme pa kifua kya Yesu ni kun'jobhela, “Bwana, ndo niani?”
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]).
Kisha Yesu ajibili, “Ni kwa jhola ambajhe nibetakujhina kipandi kya n'kate ni kumpela.” Naha bho ajhinili n'kate, ampelili Yuda mwana ghwa Simoni Iskariote.
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.”
Ni baada jha n'kate, lisyetani lyan'jhingili. Kisha Yesu akan'jobhela, “Khela kya ghwilonda kukibhona ukibhombojhi manyata.”
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
Henu ajhelepi munu pameza amanyili ndabha jha Yesu kujobha lijambo e'le kwa muene.
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.
Baadhi jha bhene bhadhanileghe kujha, kwandabha Yuda akamuili mfuku ghwa hela, Yesu an'jobhili, “Golayi fenu fyatwilonda kwa ndabha jha sikukuu,” au kwamba ilondeka kupisya khenu kwa maskini.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
Baada jha Yuda kupokela n'kate, ahomili kwibhala manyata; na jhajhele pakilu.
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.
Wakati Yuda abhokili, Yesu ajobhili, “Henu mwana ghwa Adamu atukusibhu, ni K'yara atukusibhu kup'etela muene.
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.
K'yara ibetakun'tukusya kwa muene, ni ibetakun'tukusya manyata.
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].
Bhana bhadebe, nijhele pamonga namu patali kidogo. Mwibetakunilonda, na kama kyanibhajobhili Bhayahudi, 'Kwanilota, mwibhwesya lepi kuhida.' henu nikabhajobhela muenga, pia.
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.
Nikabhapela amri mpya, kujha mgananayi; kama nene kyanibhaganili muenga, fefuefu namu kya mwilondeka kuganana jhomu.
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
Kwandabha jha e'le bhanu bhibetakumanya kujha muenga ndo bhanafunzi bha nene, ikajhiajhi bhupendo bhwa khila mmonga ni jhongi.”
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.”
Simoni Petro an'jobhili, “Bwana, wilota ndaku?” Yesu ajibili, “Mahali panilota kwa henu wibetabhwesyalepi kunikesya, lakini wibetakunikesya baadajhe.”
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
Petro akan'jobhela, “Bwana, kwa ndabha jhakiki ni sikukhesi hata henu? Nene nikaghabhosya maisha gha nene kwa ndabha jha bhebhe.”
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!”
Yesu ajibili, “Je wibetakubhosya maisha gha jhobhi kwa ndabha jha nene? Aminiayi aminiayi nikujobhela, kabla jha likongobhe kubheka mara tatu wibetakujha unibelili.”
