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, Jesus, knowing that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world He loved them 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.
And after supper (the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray 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, knowing that the Father had given everything into His hands, and that He had come 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.
He gets up from the meal and lays aside His garments, and taking a towel He tied it around Himself.
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 poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel with which He was wrapped.
6 Esi wòɖo Simɔn Petro dzi be wòaklɔ eƒe afɔwo nɛ la, Petro biae be, “Aƒetɔ, ɖe nèbe yeaklɔ nye afɔwoa?”
So He comes to Simon Peter, and he says to Him, “Lord, you wash my feet?!”
7 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Màse nu si ta mele ewɔm la gɔme fifia o, gake àva se egɔme emegbe.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know [by experience] after this.”
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 says to Him, “You will never ever wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, 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 says to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also 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 says to him: “One who is bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you (pl) are clean, but not all of you.”
11 Yesu gblɔ nya sia elabena enya ame si gbɔna ede ge asi.
(He knew who was betraying Him; that is why He said, “Not all of you are 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?
So when Jesus had washed their feet and put His garments back on, He reclined again and said to them: “Do you know what I have done to you?
13 Miawo la, mieyɔam be, ‘Aƒetɔ’ kple ‘Nufiala’, eye esia le eme vavã.
You address me as ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and you speak correctly, because 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.
So then, if I, Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 Kpɔɖeŋu wònye mena mi, eya ta miwɔ nu si mewɔ na mi la.
Because I have given you an example, so that you also should do just as I did 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.
“Most assuredly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his owner, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 Mienya esiawo, eya ta miwɔ nenema be woahe yayra geɖe vɛ na mi.
If you understand these things, you are blessed 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 do not speak concerning all of you—I know whom I chose. But let the Scripture be fulfilled: ‘The one eating bread with me lifted up his heel 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.
I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am.
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.”
Most assuredly I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives me, and he who receives me receives 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.”
Having said these things, Jesus was distressed in His spirit and testified saying, “Most assuredly I say to you, one of you will betray me!”
22 Nya siawo na be nusrɔ̃lawo trɔ kpɔ wo nɔewo ƒe ŋkume, elabena womenya wo dometɔ si wòwɔnɛ o.
So the disciples started looking at each other, at a loss as to whom He meant.
23 Nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, esi Yesu lɔ̃na vevie la, nɔ anyi ziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu.
Now one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining beside Jesus' bosom.
24 Simɔn Petro wɔ dzesi nɛ gblɔ nɛ be, “Bia mía dometɔ si ŋuti wòle nu ƒom tsoe lae.”
So Simon Peter motions to him to inquire whom it might be that He was referring to.
25 Nusrɔ̃la la gaziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Aƒetɔ, ame kae?”
And leaning back against Jesus' breast he says 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.
Jesus answers, “It is the one to whom I will give the piece of dunked bread.” And dunking the bread He gives it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.
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 after the sop, then Satan entered into him. Whereupon Jesus says to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!”
28 Ke ame siwo le kplɔ̃a ŋu la mese nya si Yesu gblɔ nɛ la gɔme o.
(Now none of those reclining at the table knew 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.
Since Judas had the money box, some supposed that Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the feast, or 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 having received the sop, immediately he 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.
When he had gone out Jesus says: “Now the Son of the Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified 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.
Since God has been glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him with Himself, and He will do so presently.
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.
“Little children, I am with you just a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.
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 commandment, that you love one another just as I have loved you—that you also love one another.
35 To esia wɔwɔ me la, amewo katã anya be nye nusrɔ̃lawo mienye, ne mielɔ̃ mia nɔewo.”
By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one 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 says to Him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but later you will follow me.”
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 says to Him: “Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake!”
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 answered him: “You will lay down your life for my sake? Most assuredly I say to you, no rooster can crow until you have denied me three times!
