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.
Isalezi seliseele eshikulukulu ye pasaka, afuatanaje oYesu amenye aje esala ya efishile eyaje aifuma munsi omo abhale hwa daada, endwemo abhagene abhantu bhakwe bhabhali munsi, abhagene oupeo.
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).
Osetano abhehwelwe haani humwoyo gwa Yuda Iskariote, omwana wa simoni, ahushitushile oYesu.
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.
O Yesu amenye aje odaada abheshele evintu humakhono gakwe naje afumile hwa Ngolobhe nantele ali abhala hwa Ngolobhe.
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].
Abhoshele pashalye na ahalile pansi omwenda gwa honze. Ahejile itaulo ahwifunjile yoyo.
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.
Nkahaponya amenze mumbakuri na wanda abhozye amagaga abhanafunzi bhakwe na bhapugute ni taulo lya hwifunjile yoyo.
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!”
Ahenza hwa Petro, na oPetro ahabhozya, “Gosi, uhwanza anazye amagaga gane?”
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
O Yesu ayanga na hubhozye, “Lyebhomba solimenye esalezi ila eshi obhahwelewe pamande.”
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)
O Petro abhozya, “Sobhanozye amagaga gane na mwaha.” O Yesu ajile, “Nkashe sembahumwezye sobhabhe ne sehemu pandwemo nane.” (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]!”
O Simoni Petro abhozya, “Gosi, onganjenozye amagaga gane wene, ila namakhono ni twe lyane.”
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.”
O Yesu abhozya, “Wawonti wayojile sahwanziwa ahwoje ila amagaga gakwe, nahuje mwinza obele gwakwe gwonti; amwe muli bhinza, ila se mwenti.”
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.”
O Yesu amenye ola wanzahugalushile; ndio maana ajile, semwenti mli bhinza.”
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?
O Yesu lwali abhozizye amagaga gabho na wega omwenda gwakwe na khale nantele, abhabhozya, “Aje Muhwelewa hale hembabhombela?
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.
Mukwizya ane “Mwalimu” nantele myiga Gosi ene yoli, afuatanaje endi shesho.
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.
Nkashe ane ne Gosi ne mwalimu, embozizye amagaga genyu, amwe namwe ehwanziwa abhozye amwenyu amagaga.
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
Embapiye ofwana aje amwe mubhombe nanshi ane zyanabhombile hulimwe.
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].
Etesheli, Etesheli, embabhozya, oboyio segosi ashile ogosi wakwe; wala yule ambaye ametumwa ni mkuu kuliko yule aliye mtuma.
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
Nkashe ozimenye enongwa ezi osaiwaje nkobhazibhombe.
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].’
Seyanga aje amwe mwenti, afuatanaje embamenye bhala bhembachaguye - eyanga ezi ili aje amazu gawezye akamilishe: 'Omwene walya ibumunda lyane ambasesezye ikhaata lyakwe.'
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]).
Embabhozya izii esalezi shalilisele afume aje nkalyaifumila, mwawezye ahweteshele aje ane NENE.
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.”
“Etesheli, etesheli, embabhozya, wamposhela ane ahuposhela yayola wantumile mimi.”
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.”
O Yesu lwa yangaga ega, ayanzihwe hu mwoyo, ahakikisizye na yanje, “Etesheli, etesheli, embabhozya aje omo wenyu aingaluha.”
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
Abhanafunzi bhakwe bha henyanya, bhahuswiga aje wenu wahuyanga.
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
Hwali ne meza, omo we bhanafunzi bhakwe ahagamiye musifubha mwa Yesu ola oYesu wagene.
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
O Simoni oPetro abhozezye omwanafunzi ono na huje, “Tibho wenu wahuyanga.”
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Omwanafunzi ola wahagamiye mshifubha mwa Yesu na hubhozye, “Gosi, yonanu?”
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]).
O Yesu ajile, “Wemba tobhezye ishipande shi bumunda na hhupele.” Shesho nali atobhezezye ibumunda, apiye oYuda omwana wa 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.”
Baada yi bumunda, Osetano amwinyiye. O Yesu ahabhozya, “Haala howanza abhombe habhombe nanali.”
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
Nomo omuntu pameza wamenye emaana ya Yesu ayanje enongwa ezi hwa mwahale.
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.
Bhamo bhasebhele aje afuatanaje oYuda ekhete ifuko lye mpeya, oYesu abhozya, “Kala evintu vyatihwanza vye shikulukulu,” au aje ahwanziwa afumye evintu hwa peena.
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
O Yuda na hejelela ibumunda, ahafuma honze nanali; hwali sikuu.
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.
O Yuda lwali asogoye, oYesu ayanjile, “Eshi omwana wa Adamu amwamihwe, no Ngolobhe amwamihwe hwa mwehale.
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.
Ongolobhe anzahumwamishe hwa mwene yoyo, na anza humwamishe nanali.
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 mwadodo, ehwendi pamo namwe omuda dodo. Mubhananze, nkashe shanabhabhozizye Ayahudi, 'Hwembala, semuwezizye ahwenze.' esalaze embabhozya amwe, nantele.
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.
Embapiye endizyo empya, aje mganane nanshi ane shehabhagene amwe, shesho shesho namwe ehwanziwa aganane mwemwe hu mwemwe.
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
Afuatanaje neli awantu bhanzamanye aje amwe muli bhanafunzi bhane, nkashe muli no lugano shila omo no wamwabho.”
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.”
O Simoni Petro abhozezye, “Gosi, ubhala hwii?” O Yesu ayanga, “Apantu pe haibhala esalezi sobhawezye anfuate, ila obhananze pamande.
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
O Petro abhozya, “Gosi, yenu ensafuate hata salezi? Ane embafumwe olwizyo lyane huliwe.”
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!”
O Yesu ajile, “Aje obhafumwe olwizyo shauli ya huline? Etesheli etesheli ehubhozya, ehanda sebhakuje bila haana mara hatatu.”
