< 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.
Before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knew that His time had come that He should depart out of this world to the Father. Having sincerely loved His own who were in the world, He sincerely 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,
Supper was finished, and the Devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Jesus.
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 everything into His hands, and that He had come 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.
got up from supper, laid aside His outer garment, 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 a 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, and Peter asked Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?”
7 Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩmenya ũrĩa ndĩreka rĩu, no thuutha-inĩ nĩũrĩmenya.”
Jesus answered, “You don’t understand what I am doing now, but you will know after this.”
8 Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, wee ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũngĩthambia nyarĩrĩ ciakwa.” Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Itangĩgũthambia, ndũngĩgĩa ngwatanĩro na niĩ.” (aiōn g165)
Peter told Him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simoni Petero akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ndũgaathambie o nyarĩrĩ ciiki, no gĩĩthambie moko o na mũtwe!”
Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not just my feet, 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 wash their feet, but is completely clean; and most of you are clean, but not all of you.”
11 Nĩgũkorwo nĩamenyete ũrĩa ũkaamũkunyanĩra, na nĩkĩo oigire atĩ ti othe maarĩ atheru.
For He knew who would betray Him, therefore He said, “You aren’t all clean.”
12 Aarĩkia kũmathambia nyarĩrĩ, akĩĩhumba nguo yake ya igũrũ, na agĩcooka harĩa aikarĩte. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwataũkĩrwo nĩ ũguo ndamwĩka?
When He had washed their feet, He put on His outer garment and sat down again. He asked 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, and you are right in saying so, 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, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 Nĩndamuonia kĩonereria nĩguo mwĩkage o ta ũguo ndamwĩka.
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 assuredly, I tell you, a servant isn’t greater than his master, nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17 Kuona atĩ rĩu nĩmũmenyete maũndũ maya, nĩmũrĩrathimagwo mwameka.
If you know these things, you are blessed 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’m not talking about all of you. I know who I have chosen; but this is to fulfill the Scripture, ‘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.
Now I tell you before it happens, that when it does happen, you may believe that I AM.
20 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũrĩa wothe wamũkagĩra mũndũ ũrĩa ndũmĩte nĩ niĩ mwene aamũkagĩra; na ũrĩa wothe ũnyamũkagĩra, aamũkagĩra ũrĩa wandũmire.”
Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever receives anyone 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 these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I tell you, one of you will betray me.”
22 Nao arutwo ake makĩambĩrĩria kũrorana marigĩtwo nũũ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao aaragia ũhoro wake.
The disciples began looking at one another, perplexed about which one of them He was talking about.
23 Ũmwe wao, mũrutwo ũrĩa Jesũ endete, aikarĩte thĩ etiiranĩtie na Jesũ.
One of Jesus’ disciples, who Jesus sincerely loved, was leaning against His breast.
24 Nake Simoni Petero akĩheneria mũrutwo ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta mũũrie araaria ũhoro wa ũ.”
Simon Peter therefore nodded to him to ask who He spoke about.
25 Nake mũrutwo ũcio, agĩĩtiirania na Jesũ na akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ũcio nũũ ũraaria ũhoro wake?”
Then, leaning back on Jesus’ breast, he 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 answered, “It is he who I will give a morsel to when I have dipped it.” Having dipped the morsel, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.
27 Judasi aarĩkia kũrĩa mũgate ũcio, Mũcukani akĩmũingĩra. Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ũkiriĩ gwĩka-rĩ, ĩka narua.”
After the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus therefore told him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe warĩ metha-inĩ wataũkĩirwo nĩ gĩtũmi kĩa Jesũ kũmwĩra ũguo.
None of those reclining at the table knew why He had 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.
Some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we need for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor.
30 Nake Judasi aarĩkia kwamũkĩra mũgate ũcio, akiuma nja. Na kwarĩ ũtukũ.
Having received the 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 is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 Angĩkorwo Ngai nĩagoocithĩtio thĩinĩ wake, Ngai nĩekũgoocithia Mũriũ arĩ thĩinĩ wake mwene, na amũgoocithie o narua.
If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and 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 am with you a little while longer. You will look for me, and as I told the Jews, I now tell you, also, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come.’
34 “Ngũmũhe rĩathani rĩerũ: Endanagai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ. O ta ũrĩa ndĩmwendete, o na inyuĩ no nginya mwendanage mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
I give to you a new commandment, that you sincerely love one another, even as I have sincerely loved you, so you should also sincerely 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 sincere 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 asked Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “Where I go, you aren’t able to follow me now, but you will follow later.”
37 Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩgiria ngũrũmĩrĩre rĩu? Niĩ nĩngũruta muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ waku.”
Peter asked Him, “Lord, why can’t I follow You right 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, “Will you lay down your life for my sake? Most assuredly, I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
