Jan 13
1 Se te jou anvan fèt Delivrans jwif yo. Jezi te konnen lè a te rive pou l' te kite tè sa a, pou li al jwenn Papa a. Li pa t' manke renmen moun pa l' yo ki te nan lemonn. Li te renmen yo nèt ale.
Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave the world and go to the Father. He had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.
2 Jezi t'ap manje ak disip li yo jou swa sa a. Satan te gen tan pran tèt Jida, pitit gason Simon Iskariòt la, pou l' te trayi Jezi.
The devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
3 Jezi te konnen pou tèt pa l' li te soti nan Bondye, epi li t'ap tounen jwenn Bondye ankò. Li te konnen Papa a te ba li pouvwa sou tout bagay.
and at supper, Jesus – although knowing that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was to return to God –
4 Li leve sot devan tab la, li wete gwo rad li a, li pran yon sèvyèt, li mare l' nan ren li.
rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel round his waist.
5 Apre sa, li vide dlo nan yon kivèt. Epi li kòmanse lave pye disip li yo. Li t'ap siye yo ak sèvyèt li te mare nan ren l' lan.
He then poured some water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel which was tied round him.
6 Se konsa, li rive sou Simon Pyè ki di l' konsa: Mèt, ou menm ki pral lave pye mwen?
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said, ‘You, Master! Are you going to wash my feet?’
7 Jezi reponn li: Koulye a ou pa konprann sa m'ap fè a. Men, wa konprann pita.
‘You do not understand now what I am doing,’ replied Jesus, ‘but you will learn by and by.’
8 Pye di li: Non, mwen p'ap janm kite ou lave pye mwen. Jezi reponn li: Si m' pa lave pye ou, ou p'ap disip mwen ankò. (aiōn g165)
‘You will never wash my feet!’ exclaimed Peter. ‘Unless I wash you,’ answered Jesus, ‘you have nothing in common with me.’ (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Pyè di li: Si se konsa, Mèt, se pa pye m' ase pou ou lave. Lave men m' yo tou ansanm ak tèt mwen.
‘Then, Master, not my feet only,’ exclaimed Simon Peter, ‘but also my hands and my head.’
10 Jezi di li: Lè yon moun fin benyen, tout kò l' pwòp. Se pye l' ase ki bezwen lave. Nou menm, nou tou pwòp, men se pa nou tout ki pwòp.
‘He who has bathed,’ replied Jesus, ‘has no need to wash, unless it be his feet, but is altogether clean; and you,’ he said to the disciples, ‘are clean, yet not all of you.’
11 (Jezi te konnen ki moun ki tapral trayi li. Se poutèt sa li te di: Se pa nou tout ki pwòp.)
For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said “You are not all clean.”
12 Lè l' fin lave pye yo tout, Jezi mete gwo rad la sou li ankò, li tounen nan plas li bò tab la, epi li di yo: Eske nou konprann sa m' sot fè la a?
When he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments and taken his place, he spoke to them again. ‘Do you understand what I have been doing to you?’ he asked.
13 Nou rele m' Mèt, nou rele m' Seyè. Nou gen rezon, se sa m' ye vre.
‘You yourselves call me “the teacher” and “the Master”, and you are right, for I am both.
14 Si mwen menm ki Seyè, mwen menm ki Mèt, mwen lave pye nou, konsa tou, nou menm, se pou nou yonn lave pye lòt.
If I, then – “the Master” and “the teacher” – have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet;
15 Mwen ban nou yon egzanp pou nou ka fè menm bagay mwen te fè pou nou an.
for I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.
16 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Yon domestik pa janm pi grannèg pase mèt li. Moun yo voye a pa janm pi grannèg pase moun ki voye l' la.
In truth I tell you, a servant is not greater than their master, neither is a messenger greater than the one who sends them.
17 Koulye a nou konn bagay sa yo. benediksyon pou nou si nou fè menm jan an tou.
Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 Lè m' di sa, mwen pa pale pou nou tout. Mwen konnen moun mwen chwazi yo. Men, fòk sa ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre. Moun k'ap manje nan menm plat avè m' lan, se li menm ki trayi mwen.
I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but this is in fulfilment of the words of scripture – “He that is eating my bread has lifted his heel against me.”
19 M'ap tou di nou sa koulye a anvan bagay sa yo rive, pou lè yo rive vre nou ka kwè mwen se moun mwen ye a.
For the future I will tell you of things before they take place, so that, when they take place, you may believe that I am what I am.
20 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Moun ki resevwa moun mwen voye a, li resevwa m' tou. Moun ki resevwa m', li resevwa moun ki voye m' lan.
In truth I tell you, the one who receives anyone that I send receives me; and the person who receives me receives him who sent me.’
21 Lè Jezi fin di pawòl sa yo, li santi kè l' te boulvèse anpil. Li di yo kareman: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: yonn nan nou pral trayi mwen.
After saying this, Jesus was much troubled, and said solemnly, ‘In truth I tell you that it is one of you who will betray me.’
22 Disip yo menm, yonn t'ap gade lòt, yo pa t' konnen ki moun li t'ap pale.
The disciples looked at one another, wondering whom he meant.
23 Yonn nan disip yo, sa Jezi te renmen an, te chita kòtakòt avèk li.
Next to Jesus, in the place on his right hand, was one of his disciples, whom he loved.
24 Simon Pyè fè l' siy pou l' mande Jezi ki moun li t'ap pale.
So Simon Peter made signs to that disciple, and whispered, ‘Tell me who it is that he means.’
25 Lè sa a, disip la panche tèt li bò Jezi, li mande li: Seyè, kilès sa a?
Being in this position, that disciple leant back on Jesus’ shoulder, and asked him, ‘Who is it, Master?’
26 Jezi reponn li: Mwen pral tranpe yon moso pen nan plat la: moun wa wè m'a lonje l' bay la, se li menm. Jezi pran yon moso pen, li tranpe l', li lonje l' bay Jida, pitit Simon Iskariòt la.
‘It is the one,’ answered Jesus, ‘to whom I will give a piece of bread after dipping it in the dish.’ And, when Jesus had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot;
27 Pran Jida pran moso pen an, Satan antre nan li. Jezi di li: Sa ou gen pou fè a, fè l' vit.
and it was then, after he had received it, that Satan took possession of him. So Jesus said to him, ‘Do at once what you are going to do.’
28 (Pesonn sou tab la pa t' konprann poukisa li te di l' sa.
But no one at the table understood why he said this to Judas.
29 Anpil te fè lide Jezi te vle di l' al achte sa yo te bezwen pou fèt la, ou ankò te mande l' bay pòv yo kichòy, paske se li menm ki te kenbe sak lajan an.)
Some thought that, as Judas kept the purse, Jesus meant that he was to buy some things needed for the Festival, or to give something to the poor.
30 Se konsa, Jida pran moso pen an; lamenm li soti. Te fin fè nwa deyò a.
After taking the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 Apre Jida fin ale, Jezi di konsa: Se koulye a nou pral wè pouvwa Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a. Se koulye a li pral fè nou wè pouvwa Bondye parèt nan li.
When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man has been exalted, and God has been exalted through him;
32 Si li fè nou wè pouvwa Bondye a, Bondye li menm va fè nou wè pouvwa Pitit la. Epi l'ap fè l' talè konsa.
and God will exalt him with himself – yes, he will exalt him forthwith.
33 Pitit mwen yo, mwen pa la pou lontan ankò avè nou. Ala chache n'a chache mwen! Men, koulye a m'ap di nou sa m' te di jwif yo deja: Nou pa kapab ale kote m' prale a.
My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the people – “You cannot come where I am going” – I now say to you.
34 Men, m'ap ban nou yon kòmandman nouvo: Se pou nou yonn renmen lòt. Wi, se pou nou yonn renmen lòt menm jan mwen renmen nou an.
I give you a new commandment – love one another; love one another as I have loved you.
35 Si nou yonn renmen lòt, lè sa a tout moun va konnen se disip mwen nou ye.
It is by this that everyone will recognise you as my disciples – by your loving one another.’
36 Simon Pyè mande li: Seyè, ki bò ou prale? Jezi reponn li: Kote m' prale a ou pa ka swiv mwen koulye a. Men, wa swiv mwen pita.
‘Where are you going, Master?’ asked Peter. ‘I am going where you cannot now follow me,’ answered Jesus, ‘but you will follow me later.’
37 Pyè di li: Seyè, poukisa m' pa kapab swiv ou koulye a? Mwen tou pare pou m' bay lavi m' pou ou.
‘Why cannot I follow you now, Master?’ asked Peter. ‘I will lay down my life for you.’
38 Jezi reponn li: Ou kwè ou pare vre pou bay lavi ou pou mwen? Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: Kòk p'ap ankò chante, w'ap gen tan di ou pa janm konnen m' an twa fwa.
‘Will you lay down your life for me?’ replied Jesus. ‘In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow until you have disowned me three times.
