< 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.

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).
pitaa tasya haste sarvva. m samarpitavaan svayam ii"svarasya samiipaad aagacchad ii"svarasya samiipa. m yaasyati ca, sarvvaa. nyetaani j naatvaa rajanyaa. m bhojane sampuur. ne sati,
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.
yadaa "saitaan ta. m parahaste. su samarpayitu. m "simona. h putrasya ii. skaariyotiyasya yihuudaa anta. hkara. ne kuprav. rtti. m samaarpayat,
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].
tadaa yii"su rbhojanaasanaad utthaaya gaatravastra. m mocayitvaa gaatramaarjanavastra. m g. rhiitvaa tena svaka. tim abadhnaat,
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.
pa"scaad ekapaatre jalam abhi. sicya "si. syaa. naa. m paadaan prak. saalya tena ka. tibaddhagaatramaarjanavaasasaa maar. s.tu. m praarabhata|
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!”
tata. h "simonpitarasya samiipamaagate sa uktavaan he prabho bhavaan ki. m mama paadau prak. saalayi. syati?
7 Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
yii"suruditavaan aha. m yat karomi tat samprati na jaanaasi kintu pa"scaaj j naasyasi|
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)
tata. h pitara. h kathitavaan bhavaan kadaapi mama paadau na prak. saalayi. syati| yii"surakathayad yadi tvaa. m na prak. saalaye tarhi mayi tava kopya. m"so naasti| (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]!”
tadaa "simonpitara. h kathitavaan he prabho tarhi kevalapaadau na, mama hastau "sira"sca prak. saalayatu|
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.”
tato yii"suravadad yo jano dhautastasya sarvvaa"ngapari. sk. rtatvaat paadau vinaanyaa"ngasya prak. saalanaapek. saa naasti| yuuya. m pari. sk. rtaa iti satya. m kintu na sarvve,
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.”
yato yo janasta. m parakare. su samarpayi. syati ta. m sa j naatavaana; ataeva yuuya. m sarvve na pari. sk. rtaa imaa. m kathaa. m kathitavaan|
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?
ittha. m yii"suste. saa. m paadaan prak. saalya vastra. m paridhaayaasane samupavi"sya kathitavaan aha. m yu. smaan prati ki. m karmmaakaar. sa. m jaaniitha?
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.
yuuya. m maa. m guru. m prabhu nca vadatha tat satyameva vadatha yatoha. m saeva bhavaami|
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.
yadyaha. m prabhu rguru"sca san yu. smaaka. m paadaan prak. saalitavaan tarhi yu. smaakamapi paraspara. m paadaprak. saalanam ucitam|
15 I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
aha. m yu. smaan prati yathaa vyavaahara. m yu. smaan tathaa vyavaharttum eka. m panthaana. m dar"sitavaan|
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].
aha. m yu. smaanatiyathaartha. m vadaami, prabho rdaaso na mahaan prerakaacca prerito na mahaan|
17 Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
imaa. m kathaa. m viditvaa yadi tadanusaarata. h karmmaa. ni kurutha tarhi yuuya. m dhanyaa bhavi. syatha|
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].’
sarvve. su yu. smaasu kathaamimaa. m kathayaami iti na, ye mama manoniitaastaanaha. m jaanaami, kintu mama bhak. syaa. ni yo bhu"nkte matpraa. napraatikuulyata. h| utthaapayati paadasya muula. m sa e. sa maanava. h|yadetad dharmmapustakasya vacana. m tadanusaare. naava"sya. m gha. ti. syate|
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]).
aha. m sa jana ityatra yathaa yu. smaaka. m vi"svaaso jaayate tadartha. m etaad. r"sagha. tanaat puurvvam ahamidaanii. m yu. smabhyamakathayam|
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.”
aha. m yu. smaanatiiva yathaartha. m vadaami, mayaa prerita. m jana. m yo g. rhlaati sa maameva g. rhlaati ya"sca maa. m g. rhlaati sa matpreraka. m g. rhlaati|
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.”
etaa. m kathaa. m kathayitvaa yii"su rdu. hkhii san pramaa. na. m dattvaa kathitavaan aha. m yu. smaanatiyathaartha. m vadaami yu. smaakam eko jano maa. m parakare. su samarpayi. syati|
22 We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
tata. h sa kamuddi"sya kathaametaa. m kathitavaan ityatra sandigdhaa. h "si. syaa. h paraspara. m mukhamaalokayitu. m praarabhanta|
23 [I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
tasmin samaye yii"su ryasmin apriiyata sa "si. syastasya vak. sa. hsthalam avaalambata|
24 Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
"simonpitarasta. m sa"nketenaavadat, aya. m kamuddi"sya kathaametaam kathayatiiti p. rccha|
25 So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
tadaa sa yii"so rvak. sa. hsthalam avalambya p. r.s. thavaan, he prabho sa jana. h ka. h?
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]).
tato yii"su. h pratyavadad ekakha. n.da. m puupa. m majjayitvaa yasmai daasyaami saeva sa. h; pa"scaat puupakha. n.dameka. m majjayitvaa "simona. h putraaya ii. skariyotiiyaaya yihuudai dattavaan|
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.”
tasmin datte sati "saitaan tamaa"srayat; tadaa yii"sustam avadat tva. m yat kari. syasi tat k. sipra. m kuru|
28 But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
kintu sa yenaa"sayena taa. m kathaamakathaayat tam upavi. s.talokaanaa. m kopi naabudhyata;
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.
kintu yihuudaa. h samiipe mudraasampu. takasthite. h kecid ittham abudhyanta paarvva. naasaadanaartha. m kimapi dravya. m kretu. m vaa daridrebhya. h ki ncid vitaritu. m kathitavaan|
30 As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
tadaa puupakha. n.dagraha. naat para. m sa tuur. na. m bahiragacchat; raatri"sca samupasyitaa|
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.
yihuude bahirgate yii"surakathayad idaanii. m maanavasutasya mahimaa prakaa"sate tene"svarasyaapi mahimaa prakaa"sate|
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.
yadi tene"svarasya mahimaa prakaa"sate tarhii"svaropi svena tasya mahimaana. m prakaa"sayi. syati tuur. nameva prakaa"sayi. syati|
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].

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.
yuuya. m paraspara. m priiyadhvam aha. m yu. smaasu yathaa priiye yuuyamapi parasparam tathaiva priiyadhva. m, yu. smaan imaa. m naviinaam aaj naam aadi"saami|
35 If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”

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.”
"simonapitara. h p. r.s. thavaan he prabho bhavaan kutra yaasyati? tato yii"su. h pratyavadat, aha. m yatsthaana. m yaami tatsthaana. m saamprata. m mama pa"scaad gantu. m na "sakno. si kintu pa"scaad gami. syasi|
37 Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
tadaa pitara. h pratyuditavaan, he prabho saamprata. m kuto hetostava pa"scaad gantu. m na "saknomi? tvadartha. m praa. naan daatu. m "saknomi|
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!”
tato yii"su. h pratyuktavaan mannimitta. m ki. m praa. naan daatu. m "sakno. si? tvaamaha. m yathaartha. m vadaami, kukku. tarava. naat puurvva. m tva. m tri rmaam apahno. syase|
