< Johana 13 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, gwatigĩtie o hanini Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka gĩkinye. Jesũ nĩamenyete atĩ ihinda rĩake rĩa kuuma gũkũ thĩ athiĩ kũrĩ Ithe nĩrĩakinyĩte. Na tondũ nĩendete arĩa maarĩ ake gũkũ thĩ, akĩmoonia ũrĩa aamendete nginya kĩrĩkĩrĩro.
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.
2 Na rĩrĩa maarĩĩaga irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ, Mũcukani nĩarĩkĩtie gwĩkĩra ngoro-inĩ ya Judasi Isikariota, mũrũ wa Simoni, meciiria ma gũkunyanĩra Jesũ,
During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3 Jesũ nĩamenyete atĩ Ithe nĩamũheete ũhoti wa maũndũ mothe, na atĩ oimĩte kũrĩ Ngai, na acookaga kũrĩ o Ngai;
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4 nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩũkĩra, akiuma hau maarĩĩagĩra, akĩruta nguo yake ya igũrũ, akĩoya taurũ, akĩĩoha njohero.
arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 Thuutha wa ũguo, agĩitĩrĩra maaĩ kĩraĩ-inĩ na akĩambĩrĩria gũthambia arutwo ake nyarĩrĩ, akĩmagiragia na taurũ ĩyo eyohete njohero.
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.
6 Na aakinya harĩ Simoni Petero, Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, Mwathani, wee nĩwe ũgũũthambia nyarĩrĩ?”
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
7 Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩmenya ũrĩa ndĩreka rĩu, no thuutha-inĩ nĩũrĩmenya.”
Jesus answered him, “You do not know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
8 Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, wee ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũngĩthambia nyarĩrĩ ciakwa.” Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Itangĩgũthambia, ndũngĩgĩa ngwatanĩro na niĩ.” (aiōn g165)
Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet in this lifetime (aiōn g165)!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with me."
9 Simoni Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ndũgaathambie o nyarĩrĩ ciiki, no gĩĩthambie moko o na mũtwe!”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
10 Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wĩthambĩte mwĩrĩ abatairio nĩ gwĩthamba o nyarĩrĩ ciiki; mwĩrĩ wake wothe nĩ mũtheru. Na inyuĩ mũrĩ atheru, o na gũtuĩka ti inyuothe.”
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.”
11 Nĩgũkorwo nĩamenyete ũrĩa ũkaamũkunyanĩra, na nĩkĩo oigire atĩ ti othe maarĩ atheru.
For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
12 Aarĩkia kũmathambia nyarĩrĩ, akĩĩhumba nguo yake ya igũrũ, na agĩcooka harĩa aikarĩte. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwataũkĩrwo nĩ ũguo ndamwĩka?
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?
13 Mũnjĩtaga ‘Mũrutani’ na ‘Mwathani’, na ũguo nĩguo kũrĩ, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo ndĩ.
You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
14 Na rĩrĩ, kuona atĩ Niĩ, Mwathani na Mũrutani wanyu, nĩndamũthambia nyarĩrĩ-rĩ, o na inyuĩ nĩmwagĩrĩirwo mũthambanagie nyarĩrĩ mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 Nĩndamuonia kĩonereria nĩguo mwĩkage o ta ũguo ndamwĩka.
For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
16 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, gũtirĩ ndungata nene gũkĩra mwathi wayo, kana mũtũmwo agakĩra ũrĩa ũmũtũmĩte.
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.
17 Kuona atĩ rĩu nĩmũmenyete maũndũ maya, nĩmũrĩrathimagwo mwameka.
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18 “Ndiraaria ũhoro wanyu inyuothe; nĩnjũũĩ arĩa thuurĩte. No ũhoro ũyũ nĩ wa kũhingia maandĩko marĩa moigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘O ũrĩa tũrĩĩanagĩra irio nake nĩangarũrũkĩte.’
I do not 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.’
19 “Ndĩramwĩra maũndũ maya rĩu matanekĩka, nĩgeetha hĩndĩ ĩrĩa marĩĩkĩka mũrĩnjĩtĩkia atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ we.
From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
20 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũrĩa wothe wamũkagĩra mũndũ ũrĩa ndũmĩte nĩ niĩ mwene aamũkagĩra; na ũrĩa wothe ũnyamũkagĩra, aamũkagĩra ũrĩa wandũmire.”
Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
21 Jesũ aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩtangĩka ngoro na akiumbũra atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũmwe wanyu nĩekũngunyanĩra.”
When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22 Nao arutwo ake makĩambĩrĩria kũrorana marigĩtwo nũũ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao aaragia ũhoro wake.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23 Ũmwe wao, mũrutwo ũrĩa Jesũ endete, aikarĩte thĩ etiiranĩtie na Jesũ.
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
24 Nake Simoni Petero akĩheneria mũrutwo ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta mũũrie araaria ũhoro wa ũ.”
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
25 Nake mũrutwo ũcio, agĩĩtiirania na Jesũ na akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ũcio nũũ ũraaria ũhoro wake?”
He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũrĩa ngũhe kĩenyũ gĩkĩ kĩa mũgate ndaarĩkia gũgĩtobokia thubu-inĩ.” Na aarĩkia gũtobokia kĩenyũ kĩa mũgate thubu-inĩ, agĩkĩhe Judasi Isikariota mũrũ wa Simoni.
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.
27 Judasi aarĩkia kũrĩa mũgate ũcio, Mũcukani akĩmũingĩra. Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ũkiriĩ gwĩka-rĩ, ĩka narua.”
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe warĩ metha-inĩ wataũkĩirwo nĩ gĩtũmi kĩa Jesũ kũmwĩra ũguo.
Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
29 Na tondũ Judasi nĩwe waigaga mbeeca-rĩ, amwe magĩĩciiria Jesũ aamwĩraga agũre kĩrĩa kĩabataranĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa Gĩathĩ, kana aheane kĩndũ nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa athĩĩni.
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.
30 Nake Judasi aarĩkia kwamũkĩra mũgate ũcio, akiuma nja. Na kwarĩ ũtukũ.
Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
31 Na Judasi aarĩkia gũthiĩ, Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩagoocithĩtio, nake Ngai nĩagoocithĩtio arĩ thĩinĩ wake.
When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32 Angĩkorwo Ngai nĩagoocithĩtio thĩinĩ wake, Ngai nĩekũgoocithia Mũriũ arĩ thĩinĩ wake mwene, na amũgoocithie o narua.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
33 “Ciana ciakwa, ngũkorwo na inyuĩ o gwa kahinda kanini. Nĩmũkanjaria, na o ta ũrĩa ndeerire Ayahudi, no taguo ngũmwĩra: Kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ, inyuĩ mũtingĩhota gũũka.
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 cannot come,’ so now I tell you.
34 “Ngũmũhe rĩathani rĩerũ: Endanagai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ. O ta ũrĩa ndĩmwendete, o na inyuĩ no nginya mwendanage mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
35 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũrĩmenyithagia andũ othe atĩ mũrĩ arutwo akwa, mũngĩendana mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.”
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36 Simoni Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani nĩ kũ ũgũthiĩ?” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩa ngũthiĩ, mũtingĩhota kũnũmĩrĩra rĩu, no nĩmũrĩnũmĩrĩra thuutha-inĩ.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
37 Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩgiria ngũrũmĩrĩre rĩu? Niĩ nĩngũruta muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ waku.”
Peter said to him, “Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
38 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Atĩ no ũrute muoyo waku nĩ ũndũ wakwa? Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ngũkũ ĩtanakũga, nĩũrĩngaana maita matatũ!
Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.
