Jọn 13
1 Tupu oge Mmemme Ngabiga eruo, Jisọs amatala na oge ọ ga-ahapụ ụwa lakwuru Nna ya eruola. Ọ hụrụ ndị nke ya nọ nʼụwa nʼanya, hụkwa ha nʼanya ruo ọgwụgwụ.
Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.
2 Mgbe a na-eri nri anyasị, ekwensu etinyelarị ya nʼime obi Judas Iskarịọt, nwa Saimọn ka ọ rara ya nye.
So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,
3 Jisọs matara na Nna enyefeela ya ihe niile nʼaka. Ọ maara na ya si nʼebe Chineke nọ bịa, matakwa na ya ga-alaghachikwuru Chineke.
Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4 Ya mere, o sitere nʼoche ọ nọkwasịrị bilie ọtọ, yipụ uwe nke elu ya, chiri akwa mmiri e ji ehicha ahụ kee nʼukwu ya.
Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.
5 Ọ wụnyere mmiri nʼime efere ịsa aka, bido ịsa ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ụkwụ, jirikwa akwa mmiri ahụ o kere nʼukwu ya na-ehicha ụkwụ ha.
Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.
6 Ọ bịakwutere Saimọn Pita, onye sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, ị ga-asa m ụkwụ?”
So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?
7 Ma Jisọs zara sị ya, “Ị ghọtaghị ihe m na-eme ugbu a, ma emesịa ị ga-aghọta ya.”
And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.
8 Pita sịrị ya, “Ị gaghị asaa m ụkwụ ma ọlị.” Jisọs zara ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m asachaghị gị ụkwụ, mụ na gị enweghị oke ọbụla.” (aiōn g165)
Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 Saimọn Pita sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụghị naanị ụkwụ m ka ị ga-asa, kama saakwa aka m na isi m.”
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.
10 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Onye ọbụla sara ahụ agaghị asakwa ya ọzọ, ọ bụ naanị ịsa ụkwụ ya dịrị ya nʼihi na ahụ ya niile dị ọcha. Unu dị ọcha, kama ọ bụghị unu niile.”
Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.
11 Nʼihi na ọ maararị onye ahụ ga-arara ya nye. Ya mere o ji sị, “Ọ bụghị unu niile dị ọcha.”
(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)
12 Mgbe ọ sachasịrị ha ụkwụ, o yiiri uwe ya, nọdụkwa ala ọzọ, ọ sịrị ha, “Unu ghọtara ihe m meere unu?
Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?
13 Unu na-akpọ m Onyenwe unu na Nna unu ukwu, unu mere nke ọma nʼihi na nke a ka m bụ.
You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.
14 Ebe ọ bụ na mụ onwe m, bụ Nna unu ukwu na Onyenwe unu sachara unu ụkwụ, unu kwesikwara ịsachakwa ụkwụ ibe unu.
If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.
15 Nke a bụ ihe nṅomi m nyere unu, meenụ dị ka mụ onwe m mere unu.
I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.
16 Nʼezie, nʼezie, ohu adịghị adị ukwuu karịa nna ya ukwu, maọbụ onye e ziri ozi a karịa onye ziri ya ozi.
Truly I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; and he who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.
17 Ọ bụrụ na unu a mara ihe ndị a, ngọzị ga-adịrị unu ma unu mee ha.
If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.
18 “Anaghị m ekwu maka unu niile, amaara m ndị m họpụtara. Ma nke a bụ imezu ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, ‘Onye mụ na ya na-erikọ nri ebiliela megide m.’
I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.
19 “Ana m agwa unu ugbu a tupu ihe ndị a emee, ka unu kwere na mụ bụ ya mgbe ọ ga-emezu.
From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.
20 Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, onye ọbụla nabatara onye m zitere nabatara m. Onye ọbụla nabatara m nabatakwara onye zitere m.”
Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.
21 Mgbe Jisọs kwusiri ihe ndị a, o nweghị udo nʼime mmụọ ya. Ọ gbara ama sị, “Nʼezie, nʼezie, a sị m unu, na otu onye nʼime unu ga-arara m nye.”
When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.
22 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya lerịtara onwe ha anya na-eche nʼime obi ha onye ọ na-ekwu maka ya.
Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.
23 Otu nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nke Jisọs hụrụ nʼanya dabere ya nso.
There was at table one of his disciples, the one dear to Jesus, resting his head on Jesus' breast.
24 Saimọn Pita fufeere ya isi, ka ọ, Jụọ ya onye ọ na-ekwu maka ya.
Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?
25 Ebe ọ dabere Jisọs nso, ọ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, onye ka ọ bụ?”
He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jisọs zara, “Ọ bụ onye ahụ m ga-enye iberibe achịcha a mgbe m sunyere ya nʼime efere nri.” Mgbe o sunyesịrị achịcha ahụ nʼime efere ahụ, o nyere ya Judas nwa Saimọn Iskarịọt.
This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 Mgbe ọ narasịrị iberibe achịcha ahụ, ekwensu bara nʼime ya. Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ ime, mee ya ngwangwa.”
And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.
28 Ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla so nọrọ nʼoche nri ghọtara ihe mere o ji gwa ya otu a.
Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.
29 Nʼihi na ụfọdụ na-eche, ebe Judas ji akpa ego ha, Jisọs na-asị ya ka ọ gaa zụta ihe ndị dị mkpa maka mmemme, maọbụ ka ọ gaa nye ndị ogbenye ihe.
Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.
30 Mgbe ọ natachara iberibe achịcha ahụ, ọ pụrụ na-atụfughị oge, ọchịchịrị agbaala.
So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.
31 Mgbe ọ pụrụ, Jisọs sịrị, “Ugbu a ka a na-enye Nwa nke Mmadụ otuto, a na-enyekwa Chineke otuto nʼime ya.
Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.
32 Ọ bụrụ na e nye Chineke otuto nʼime ya, Chineke ga-enyekwa Ọkpara ya otuto nʼime onwe ya, ọ ga-enyekwa ya otuto ahụ ngwangwa.
If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.
33 “Ụmụntakịrị m, enwere m oge ntakịrị nke mụ na unu ga-anọ. Unu ga-achọ m, ma dị ka m gwara ndị Juu ka m na-agwa unu ugbu a. Ebe m na-aga unu enweghị ike ịbịa ya.
My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.
34 “Ana m enye unu iwu ọhụrụ: Hụrịtanụ onwe unu nʼanya. Dị ka m hụrụ unu nʼanya, otu a ka unu ga-esi hụrịta onwe unu nʼanya.
I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.
35 Ọ bụrụ na unu ahụrịta onwe unu nʼanya, otu a ka mmadụ niile ga-esi mata na unu bụ ndị na-eso ụzọ m.”
By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
36 Saimọn Pita sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị ebee ka ị na-aga?” Jisọs zaghachiri ya, “Ebe m na-aga, i nweghị ike iso m gaa ya ugbu a. Ma ị ga-abịa ma emesịa.”
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.
37 Pita sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, gịnị mere na m apụghị isoro gị ugbu a? Aga m atọgbọ ndụ m nʼihi gị.”
Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.
38 Jisọs zaghachiri, “I jikeere ịtọgbọ ndụ gị nʼihi m? Nʼezie, nʼezie, asị m gị, tupu oke ọkụkụ akwaa akwa, ị ga-agọnarị m ugboro atọ.”
Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.
