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 it was before the Festival of the Passover. Jesus knew that his hour had come to go out of this world and go 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.
Now the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot son of Simon, to betray Jesus.
3 Yesu nya be Fofo la tsɔ ŋusẽwo katã na ye. Enya hã be Mawu gbɔe yetso va, eye yeagatrɔ ayi Mawu gbɔ.
He knew that the Father had given everything over into his hands and that he had come from God and was going back 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 got up from dinner and took off his outer clothing. Then he took a towel and wrapped 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 a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and dry them with the towel that he had put around himself.
6 Esi wòɖo Simɔn Petro dzi be wòaklɔ eƒe afɔwo nɛ la, Petro biae be, “Aƒetɔ, ɖe nèbe yeaklɔ nye afɔwoa?”
He came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to 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 understand this later.”
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 to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share 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, do not only wash 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 said to him, “He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but he is completely clean; you are clean, but not everyone.”
11 Yesu gblɔ nya sia elabena enya ame si gbɔna ede ge asi.
(For Jesus knew who would betray 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 taken his garments and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?
13 Miawo la, mieyɔam be, ‘Aƒetɔ’ kple ‘Nufiala’, eye esia le eme vavã.
You call me 'teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are speaking correctly, because so 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 I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash the feet of one another.
15 Kpɔɖeŋu wònye mena mi, eya ta miwɔ nu si mewɔ na mi la.
For I have given you an example so that you should also do just as I did for 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, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is a messenger greater than he who sent him.
17 Mienya esiawo, eya ta miwɔ nenema be woahe yayra geɖe vɛ na mi.
If you know 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 am not speaking about all of you; I know those whom I have chosen—but this so that the scripture will be fulfilled: 'He who eats my bread 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 tell you this now before it happens so that when it happens, you may 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.”
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I sent, 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.”
When Jesus said this, he was troubled in spirit. He testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you that 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.
The disciples looked at each other, wondering of whom he was speaking.
23 Nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka, esi Yesu lɔ̃na vevie la, nɔ anyi ziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu.
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying down at the table against Jesus' side.
24 Simɔn Petro wɔ dzesi nɛ gblɔ nɛ be, “Bia mía dometɔ si ŋuti wòle nu ƒom tsoe lae.”
Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him who he is speaking about.”
25 Nusrɔ̃la la gaziɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Aƒetɔ, ame kae?”
So he leaned back against the side of Jesus and 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.
Then Jesus answered, “It is the one for whom I will dip the piece of bread and give it him.” So when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas 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.”
Then after the bread, Satan entered into him, so Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do it quickly.”
28 Ke ame siwo le kplɔ̃a ŋu la mese nya si Yesu gblɔ nɛ la gɔme o.
Now no one who was lying down 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.
Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus said to him, “Buy what we need to have for the festival,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Esi Yuda ɖu abolo la teti ko la, edzo le xɔa me enumake hege ɖe viviti la me.
After Judas received the bread, he went out immediately. 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 Judas was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is 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.
God will glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
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 for still a short amount of time. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' Now I also say this to you.
34 “Se yeye mena mi: Milɔ̃ mia nɔewo. Abe ale si melɔ̃ mi ene la, miawo hã milɔ̃ mia nɔewo nenema.
I am giving you a new commandment, that you should love one another; as I have loved you, so also you should love one another.
35 To esia wɔwɔ me la, amewo katã anya be nye nusrɔ̃lawo mienye, ne mielɔ̃ mia nɔewo.”
By this everyone will know 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 answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow 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, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down 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 answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow before you have denied me three times.”
