John 13
1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
Azɔ esusɔ ŋkeke ɖeka ko ne Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la naɖo, eye Yesu nya be ɣeyiɣi la de be yeadzo le xexea me, atrɔ ayi Fofo la gbɔ. Elɔ̃ etɔ siwo le xexea me ŋutɔ, eye wògaɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ fia wo.
2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ fiẽnuɖuƒe. Do ŋgɔ la, Abosam dee ta me na Yuda Iskariɔt, Simɔn ƒe vi la be wòaɖade Yesu asi.
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
Yesu nya be Fofo la tsɔ ŋusẽwo katã na ye. Enya hã be Mawu gbɔe yetso va, eye yeagatrɔ ayi Mawu gbɔ.
4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
Le esia ta Yesu tsi tsitre le fiẽnuɖukplɔ̃ la ŋu, eye wòɖe eƒe awu da ɖi hetsɔ tsiletsɛ sa ɖe ali.
5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Etsɔ gagba ku tsi ɖe eme, eye wòde asi nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe afɔwo kɔklɔ me. Ne eklɔ ame aɖe tɔ vɔ la, etsɔa tsiletsɛ si wòsa ɖe ali la tutua afɔ nɛ.
6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
Esi wòɖo Simɔn Petro dzi be wòaklɔ eƒe afɔwo nɛ la, Petro biae be, “Aƒetɔ, ɖe nèbe yeaklɔ nye afɔwoa?”
7 Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Màse nu si ta mele ewɔm la gɔme fifia o, gake àva se egɔme emegbe.”
8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.” (aiōn g165)
Petro gblɔ be, “Gbeɖe, màklɔ nye afɔwo ŋuti o.” Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ne nyemeklɔ wò afɔwo o la, ekema màkpɔ gome aɖeke tso gbɔnye o.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
Simɔn Petro gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, ne ele nenema la, ekema menye nye afɔwo ko o, ke boŋ klɔ nye asiwo kple nye ta hã.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame si le tsi xoxo la, afɔkɔklɔ koe hiã nɛ be eŋuti nakɔ nyuie. Mia ŋuti kɔ, gake menye mi katã ŋutie kɔ o.”
11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
Yesu gblɔ nya sia elabena enya ame si gbɔna ede ge asi.
12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
Esi wòklɔ nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe afɔwo vɔ la, etsɔ eƒe awu do, nɔ anyi eye wòbia wo be, “Miese nu si mewɔ na mi la gɔmea?
13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
Miawo la, mieyɔam be, ‘Aƒetɔ’ kple ‘Nufiala’, eye esia le eme vavã.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Minya be esi nye, miaƒe Aƒetɔ kple Nufiala, meklɔ miaƒe afɔwo ŋu la, ele na miawo hã be miaklɔ mia nɔewo ƒe afɔwo.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
Kpɔɖeŋu wònye mena mi, eya ta miwɔ nu si mewɔ na mi la.
16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
Mele egblɔm na mi le nyateƒe me be subɔla mekɔna wu eƒe aƒetɔ o, eye dɔtsɔla hã mewua ame si dɔe la o.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Mienya esiawo, eya ta miwɔ nenema be woahe yayra geɖe vɛ na mi.
18 I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’
“Ele eme be menye mi katãe mele nya sia gblɔm na o, elabena menya ame siwo metia la. Mawunya gblɔ be, ‘Ame si le nu ɖum kplim lae adem asi.’
19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
“Mele egblɔm na mi hafi wòava eme. Mele nya siawo katã gblɔm na mi be ne wova eme la, miaxɔ dzinye ase.
20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
Mele egblɔm na mi le nyateƒe me be ame si axɔ ame si medɔ la, nyee wòxɔ, eye ame si axɔm la, xɔ ame si dɔm.”
21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
Esi Yesu gblɔ nya sia vɔ la, eʋuʋu le eɖokui me, eye wògblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, mia dometɔ ɖeka adem asi.”
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
Nya siawo na be nusrɔ̃lawo trɔ kpɔ wo nɔewo ƒe ŋkume, elabena womenya wo dometɔ si wòwɔnɛ o.
23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
Nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, esi Yesu lɔ̃na vevie la, nɔ anyi ziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
Simɔn Petro wɔ dzesi nɛ gblɔ nɛ be, “Bia mía dometɔ si ŋuti wòle nu ƒom tsoe lae.”
25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Nusrɔ̃la la gaziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Aƒetɔ, ame kae?”
26 Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Eyae nye ame si matsɔ abolo kakɛ sia asisi detsi atsɔ ana.” Tete wòtsɔ abolo kakɛ la sisi detsi hetsɔe na Simɔn ƒe vi, Yuda Iskariɔt.
27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
Esi Yuda ɖu abolo la vɔ ko la, Satana ge ɖe eme. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe abla nàyi aɖawɔ nu si nèɖo la.”
28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
Ke ame siwo le kplɔ̃a ŋu la mese nya si Yesu gblɔ nɛ la gɔme o.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
Wobu be esi Yuda nye woƒe gadzikpɔla tae Yesu le edɔm be wòayi aɖaxe fe ɖe nu si ɖum yewole la ta loo alo wòayi aɖana ga ame dahewo.
30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
Esi Yuda ɖu abolo la teti ko la, edzo le xɔa me enumake hege ɖe viviti la me.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
Esi Yuda do go le xɔa me la, Yesu gblɔ be, “Ɣeyiɣi de be woaɖe Amegbetɔ Vi la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go, eye woaɖe Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go to edzi.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
Ne woɖe Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go to edzi la, Mawu aɖe Via ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go to eya ŋutɔ dzi, eye wòaɖe eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la afia enumake.
33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
“Vinye lɔlɔ̃awo, ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko maganɔ mia gbɔ! Abe ale si megblɔ na Yudatɔwo ene la, miadim, gake miakpɔm o, eye afi si meyina hã la, miate ŋu ava o.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
“Se yeye mena mi: Milɔ̃ mia nɔewo. Abe ale si melɔ̃ mi ene la, miawo hã milɔ̃ mia nɔewo nenema.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
To esia wɔwɔ me la, amewo katã anya be nye nusrɔ̃lawo mienye, ne mielɔ̃ mia nɔewo.”
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
Simɔn Petro biae be, “Aƒetɔ, afi ka nèyina?” Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Afi si meyina fifia la, miate ŋu akplɔm ɖo ayi o, ke emegbe la, miava.”
37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
Petro gabiae be, “Nu ka ta nyemate ŋu akplɔ wò ɖo fifia o? Nye la, mele klalo be mabu nye agbe ɖe tawò.”
38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Èka ɖe edzi be àte ŋu abu wò agbe ɖe tanyea? Nyateƒe gblɔm mele na wò be, hafi koklo naku atɔ la, àgbe nu le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃.”
