John 13
1 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who [are] in the world — to the end he loved them.
Ilikuwa kabla ya sikukuu ya Pasaka. Yesu alijua kwamba saa yake ya kuondoka ulimwenguni na kwenda kwa Baba ilikuwa imefika. Alikuwa amewapenda daima watu wake walioko duniani; naam, aliwapenda mpaka mwisho!
2 And supper being come, the devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,
Basi, Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikuwa mezani kwa chakula cha jioni. Ibilisi alikwisha mtia Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskarioti, nia ya kumsaliti Yesu.
3 Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him — into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,
Yesu alijua kwamba Baba alikuwa amemkabidhi kila kitu, na kwamba alikuwa ametoka kwa Mungu na anarudi kwa Mungu.
4 doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;
Basi, Yesu aliondoka mezani, akaweka kando vazi lake, akachukua kitambaa na kujifunga kiunoni.
5 afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.
Kisha akatia maji katika bakuli, akaanza kuwaosha wanafunzi wake miguu na kuipangusa kwa kile kitambaa alichojifungia.
6 He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, 'Sir, thou — dost thou wash my feet?'
Basi, akamfikia Simoni Petro; naye Petro akasema, “Bwana, wewe utaniosha miguu mimi?”
7 Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'
Yesu akamjibu, “Huelewi sasa ninachofanya lakini utaelewa baadaye.”
8 Peter saith to him, 'Thou mayest not wash my feet — to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;' (aiōn g165)
Petro akamwambia, “Wewe hutaniosha miguu kamwe!” Yesu akamjibu, “Nisipokuosha hutakuwa na uhusiano nami tena.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'
Simoni Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, nioshe, si miguu tu, bali na mikono yangu na kichwa pia.”
10 Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'
Yesu akamwambia, “Aliyekwisha oga hana lazima ya kunawa isipokuwa miguu, maana amekwisha takata mwili wote. Ninyi mmetakata, lakini si nyote.”
11 for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'
(Yesu alimjua yule ambaye atamsaliti, ndiyo maana alisema: “Ninyi mmetakata, lakini si nyote.”)
12 When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, 'Do ye know what I have done to you?
Alipokwisha waosha miguu na kuvaa tena vazi lake, aliketi mezani, akawaambia, “Je, mmeelewa hayo niliyowatendeeni?
13 ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;
Ninyi mwaniita Mwalimu na Bwana, nanyi mwasema vyema, kwa kuwa ndimi.
14 if then I did wash your feet — the Lord and the Teacher — ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
Basi, ikiwa mimi niliye Bwana na Mwalimu, nimewaosha ninyi miguu, nanyi pia mnapaswa kuoshana miguu.
15 'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;
Nimewapeni mfano, ili nanyi pia mfanye kama nilivyowafanyieni.
16 verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;
Kweli nawaambieni, mtumishi si mkuu zaidi kuliko bwana wake, wala mtume si mkuu zaidi kuliko yule aliyemtuma.
17 if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;
Basi, ikiwa mwayajua hayo, mtakuwa na heri mkiyatekeleza.
18 not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.
“Haya nisemayo hayawahusu ninyi nyote. Mimi nawajua wale niliowachagua. Lakini lazima yatimie Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo: Yule aliyeshiriki chakula changu amegeuka kunishambulia.
19 'From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he];
Mimi nimewaambieni mambo haya sasa kabla hayajatokea, ili yatakapotokea mpate kuamini kuwa mimi ndimi.
20 verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'
Kweli nawaambieni anayempokea yule ninayemtuma anaponipokea mimi; na anayenipokea mimi, anampokea yule aliyenituma.”
21 These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'
Alipokwisha sema hayo, Yesu alifadhaika sana rohoni, akasema wazi, “Kweli nawaambieni, mmoja wenu atanisaliti!”
22 the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.
Wanafunzi wakatazama wasiweze kabisa kujua anasema nani.
23 And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;
Mmoja wa wanafunzi, ambaye Yesu alikuwa anampenda sana, alikuwa ameketi karibu na Yesu.
24 Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,
Basi, Simoni Petro akamwashiria na kusema: “Mwulize anasema juu ya nani.”
25 and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?'
Mwanafunzi huyo akasogea karibu zaidi na Yesu, akamwuliza, “Bwana, ni nani?”
26 Jesus answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.
Yesu akajibu, “Yule nitakayempa kipande cha mkate nilichochovya katika sahani, ndiye.” Basi, akatwaa kipande cha mkate, akakichovya katika sahani, akampa Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskarioti.
27 And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, 'What thou dost — do quickly;'
Yuda alipokwisha pokea kipande hicho, Shetani akamwingia. Basi Yesu akamwambia, “Unachotaka kufanya, kifanye haraka!”
28 and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,
Lakini hakuna hata mmoja wa wale waliokaa pale mezani aliyefahamu kwa nini alikuwa amemwambia hivyo.
29 for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;
Kwa kuwa Yuda alikuwa na wajibu wa kuutunza mfuko wa fedha, baadhi yao walidhani kwamba Yesu alikuwa amemwambia anunue vilivyohitajiwa kwa sikukuu, au kwamba alikuwa amemwambia akatoe chochote kwa maskini.
30 having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.
Basi, Yuda alipokwisha twaa kile kipande cha mkate, akatoka nje mara. Na ilikuwa usiku.
31 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;
Baada ya Yuda kuondoka, Yesu akasema, “Sasa Mwana wa Mtu ametukuzwa, naye Mungu ametukuzwa ndani yake.
32 if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.
Na kama utukufu wa Mungu umefunuliwa ndani ya Mwana, basi, naye Mungu ataudhihirisha utukufu wa Mwana ndani yake mwenyewe, na atafanya hivyo mara.
33 'Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews — Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say [it] now.
“Watoto wangu, bado niko nanyi kwa muda mfupi tu. Mtanitafuta, lakini sasa nawaambieni yale niliyowaambia viongozi wa Wayahudi: Niendako ninyi hamwezi kwenda!
34 'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;
Nawapeni amri mpya: pendaneni; pendaneni kama nilivyowapenda ninyi.
35 in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'
Mkipendana, watu wote watajua kwamba ninyi ni wanafunzi wangu.”
36 Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'
Simoni Petro akamwuliza, “Bwana, unakwenda wapi?” Yesu akajibu, “Niendako huwezi kunifuata sasa, lakini utanifuata baadaye.”
37 Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'
Petro akamwambia “Bwana, kwa nini siwezi kukufuata sasa? Niko tayari kufa kwa ajili yako!”
38 Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'
Yesu akajibu, “Je, uko tayari kweli kufa kwa ajili yangu? Kweli nakwambia, kabla jogoo hajawika utanikana mara tatu!”
