Yohanes 13
1 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.
Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.
2 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ fiẽnuɖuƒe. Do ŋgɔ la, Abosam dee ta me na Yuda Iskariɔt, Simɔn ƒe vi la be wòaɖade Yesu asi.
So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,
3 Yesu nya be Fofo la tsɔ ŋusẽwo katã na ye. Enya hã be Mawu gbɔe yetso va, eye yeagatrɔ ayi Mawu gbɔ.
Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4 Le esia ta Yesu tsi tsitre le fiẽnuɖukplɔ̃ la ŋu, eye wòɖe eƒe awu da ɖi hetsɔ tsiletsɛ sa ɖe ali.
Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.
5 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.
Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.
6 Esi wòɖo Simɔn Petro dzi be wòaklɔ eƒe afɔwo nɛ la, Petro biae be, “Aƒetɔ, ɖe nèbe yeaklɔ nye afɔwoa?”
So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?
7 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Màse nu si ta mele ewɔm la gɔme fifia o, gake àva se egɔme emegbe.”
And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.
8 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)
Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 Simɔn Petro gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, ne ele nenema la, ekema menye nye afɔwo ko o, ke boŋ klɔ nye asiwo kple nye ta hã.”
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.
10 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.”
Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.
11 Yesu gblɔ nya sia elabena enya ame si gbɔna ede ge asi.
(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)
12 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?
Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?
13 Miawo la, mieyɔam be, ‘Aƒetɔ’ kple ‘Nufiala’, eye esia le eme vavã.
You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.
14 Minya be esi nye, miaƒe Aƒetɔ kple Nufiala, meklɔ miaƒe afɔwo ŋu la, ele na miawo hã be miaklɔ mia nɔewo ƒe afɔwo.
If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.
15 Kpɔɖeŋu wònye mena mi, eya ta miwɔ nu si mewɔ na mi la.
I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.
16 Mele egblɔm na mi le nyateƒe me be subɔla mekɔna wu eƒe aƒetɔ o, eye dɔtsɔla hã mewua ame si dɔe la o.
Truly I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; and he who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.
17 Mienya esiawo, eya ta miwɔ nenema be woahe yayra geɖe vɛ na mi.
If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.
18 “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.’
I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.
19 “Mele egblɔm na mi hafi wòava eme. Mele nya siawo katã gblɔm na mi be ne wova eme la, miaxɔ dzinye ase.
From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.
20 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.”
Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.
21 Esi Yesu gblɔ nya sia vɔ la, eʋuʋu le eɖokui me, eye wògblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, mia dometɔ ɖeka adem asi.”
When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.
22 Nya siawo na be nusrɔ̃lawo trɔ kpɔ wo nɔewo ƒe ŋkume, elabena womenya wo dometɔ si wòwɔnɛ o.
Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.
23 Nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, esi Yesu lɔ̃na vevie la, nɔ anyi ziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu.
There was at table one of his disciples, the one dear to Jesus, resting his head on Jesus' breast.
24 Simɔn Petro wɔ dzesi nɛ gblɔ nɛ be, “Bia mía dometɔ si ŋuti wòle nu ƒom tsoe lae.”
Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?
25 Nusrɔ̃la la gaziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Aƒetɔ, ame kae?”
He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?
26 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.
This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 Esi Yuda ɖu abolo la vɔ ko la, Satana ge ɖe eme. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe abla nàyi aɖawɔ nu si nèɖo la.”
And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.
28 Ke ame siwo le kplɔ̃a ŋu la mese nya si Yesu gblɔ nɛ la gɔme o.
Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.
29 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.
Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.
30 Esi Yuda ɖu abolo la teti ko la, edzo le xɔa me enumake hege ɖe viviti la me.
So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.
31 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.
Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.
32 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.
If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.
33 “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.
My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.
34 “Se yeye mena mi: Milɔ̃ mia nɔewo. Abe ale si melɔ̃ mi ene la, miawo hã milɔ̃ mia nɔewo nenema.
I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.
35 To esia wɔwɔ me la, amewo katã anya be nye nusrɔ̃lawo mienye, ne mielɔ̃ mia nɔewo.”
By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
36 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.”
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.
37 Petro gabiae be, “Nu ka ta nyemate ŋu akplɔ wò ɖo fifia o? Nye la, mele klalo be mabu nye agbe ɖe tawò.”
Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.
38 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.”
Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.
