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, 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 Mgbe a na-eri nri anyasị, ekwensu etinyelarị ya nʼime obi Judas Iskarịọt, nwa Saimọn ka ọ rara ya nye.
During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray 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, knowing that the Father had given all things 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.
arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
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 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 Ọ bịakwutere Saimọn Pita, onye sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, ị ga-asa m ụkwụ?”
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
7 Ma Jisọs zara sị ya, “Ị ghọtaghị ihe m na-eme ugbu a, ma emesịa ị ga-aghọta ya.”
Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
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 to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, 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 also 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, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You 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.”
For he knew him who would betray him; therefore 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?
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 Unu na-akpọ m Onyenwe unu na Nna unu ukwu, unu mere nke ọma nʼihi na nke a ka m bụ.
You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so 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 I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 Nke a bụ ihe nṅomi m nyere unu, meenụ dị ka mụ onwe m mere unu.
For I have given you an example, that you should also do as 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.
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 Ọ bụrụ na unu a mara ihe ndị a, ngọzị ga-adịrị unu ma unu mee ha.
If you know these things, blessed 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 don’t 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 “Ana m agwa unu ugbu a tupu ihe ndị a emee, ka unu kwere na mụ bụ ya mgbe ọ ga-emezu.
From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe 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.”
Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives 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 testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya lerịtara onwe ha anya na-eche nʼime obi ha onye ọ na-ekwu maka ya.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23 Otu nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nke Jisọs hụrụ nʼanya dabere ya nso.
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
24 Saimọn Pita fufeere ya isi, ka ọ, Jụọ ya onye ọ na-ekwu maka ya.
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
25 Ebe ọ dabere Jisọs nso, ọ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, onye ka ọ bụ?”
He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked 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.
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 Mgbe ọ narasịrị iberibe achịcha ahụ, ekwensu bara nʼime ya. Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ ime, mee ya ngwangwa.”
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 Ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla so nọrọ nʼoche nri ghọtara ihe mere o ji gwa ya otu a.
Now nobody at the table knew 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.
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 Mgbe ọ natachara iberibe achịcha ahụ, ọ pụrụ na-atụfughị oge, ọchịchịrị agbaala.
Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. 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.
When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified 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 has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
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.
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 can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
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.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one 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 everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one 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 answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
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, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down 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 answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
