Uyuhana 13
1 Uganiya idi wa mu aye ba, yeso ma rusi uganiya uhira ume unee ukuro ahira aco, ma zinu su anu ame sa wara unee, mazinu su uwe uhana mara unee.
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 Azinu re imimare ini yee bi be bi burbamu ribe iriba iyahuza iskariyoti vanu saminu madi zizi Yeso.
The Devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
3 Yeso marusi kondi nyani ya cu udang ira atari tume, ma rusanya suro ahira Asere ani ya suroni, idi kuri ikuri ahira Asere.
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 Manno ma ceki are imimare me, ma inki u gyeptu u impino umeme, ma ziki ku puri ma tiri utino.
Rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel round his waist.
5 Ma gamirka myei ukwano dan, ma kpici tibuna ta hana akatuma ka meme, madu vizi unu puri me sa ma tira utino umeme.
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 Sa ma aye kpicu utibuna ti Bitrus, bitrus magun me, “Ugomo Asere, hamani ini ce nuwe udi kpicum tibuna?”
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said: “You, Master! Are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Yeso ma kabirka magu, “Ana me utawe imum me sa izinu wuza me ba, inka ma mara udi rusi.”
“You do not understand now what I am doing,” replied Jesus, “but you will learn by and by.”
8 Bitrus ma gu me, “Mi ma hem ba, uda kpico mi tibuna ba sa unee wa mara!” Yeso ma kabirka me magu, “ingi da ma kpico we niba, uzo we unu um ba. (aiōn g165)
“You shall never wash my feet!” exclaimed Peter. “Unless I wash you,” answered Jesus, “you have nothing in common with me.” (aiōn g165)
9 Bitrus magu me, ugomo Asere azo tibuna nan nice num”
“Then, Master, not my feet only,” exclaimed Simon Peter, “but also my hands and my head.”
10 Yeso magu me, De sa ma zoro mada nyara ukpico v iri mum ba, tibuna tini cas adi kpici, barki amu kpico me. Izi lau azo vat ushi ba.”
“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 Barki ma rusa uye madi nyare me, ine ini ya wuna maguna, “Izi lau vat ushi ba.”
For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said ‘You are not all clean.’
12 Sa ma mara ukpico uwe tibuna me, ma, i ugyeptu u impino umeme ma impino ni ma duku gun we, irsa imum be sa ma wuza shi? I gusam unu nyetike, nan ugomo Asere.
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 Ane ani daki ya hunne me ba, ane ani inzi.
“You yourselves call me ‘the Teacher’ and ‘the Master’, and you are right, for I am both.
14 Mi unu nyetike, nan ugomo Asere, ma kpico tibuna tishi, shi idi kpici tibuna ta cee ashi.
If I, then — ‘the Master’ and ‘the Teacher’ — have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet;
15 Ma wuza ani me bati shi iwuzi kasi mime.
for I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.
16 Kadure kani izinu boo shi, urere mada teki me una kura ame ba, vana uka dura mada teki me desa ma tuma me ba.
In truth I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor yet a messenger than the man who sends him.
17 Inki irusa anime, i kuri iwuzi imumu ihuma shi ana muriba murum muni.
Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 Azo vat ushini in boo shi ba, in rusa ande sa ma zauka. In wuzi anime barki amyinca tize ta Asere tini, unu guna desa mazina re imimare im, ma ga mi.
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 In di booki shi ana me uganiya wamu aye ba, in! i uganiya wa wuna inya mu riba mimani me.
For the future I shall tell you of things before they take place, so that, when they take place, you may believe that I am what I am.
20 Kadure kani, in booshi, desa ma hem indesa ma tuburko, ma hem in mi mamani. Desa ma hem in mi, ma hem indesa ma tumam.
In truth I tell you, he who receives any one that I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me.”
21 Ugainya sa yeso ma suka anime, iriba ya wume gitak ma boki magu, kadure kani in booshi uye anyimo ashime madi zizum.
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 Ahana katuma kameme wa tunguno u hira acece, unu gusa aveni ma boo me.
The disciples looked at one another, wondering whom he meant.
23 Uye anyimo ahana akatuma kameme, desa yeso mazinu su ume, ma ciki upuru umeme.
Next to Jesus, in the place on his right hand, was one of his disciples, whom he loved.
24 Bitrus ma dari me magu, “Bukan duru yeso ma boo aveni”.
So Simon Peter made signs to that disciple, and whispered: “Tell me who it is that he means.”
25 Desa mara upuru uyeso magu me, “Ugomo Asere aveni?”
Being in this position, that disciple leant back on Jesus’ shoulder, and asked him: “Who is it, Master?”
26 Yeso ma kabirka magu, “me mani desa indi inta imumare in nya me” sa ma inta imimare, ma wu yahuza iskariyoti vana usaminu ayo.
“It is the one,” answered Jesus, “to whom I shall 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 Sa ma kaba imumare me, imum me irizi me iriba, yeso magun me, “Wuza imum be sa udi wuzi ana me”.
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 Anyimo ande sa wazina re imumare me, wata we imum me sa ya wuna yeso ma boka anime ba.
But no one at table understood why he said this to Judas.
29 Wa gusi nani yeso maguna me ma kuri ma siri iri imumare in, nan ma nya anu dira akara ire imum, barki sa me yahuza mani ma canti ulalinta ikirfi iweme.
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 Me yahuza sa ma kaba imimare me, ma ba soru, ini yeeme.
After taking the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 Uganiya sa ma suro yeso ma kuri unu magun, ana ani adi nonziko vana unu bo aduku nonziko Asere ahira ameme.
When Judas had gone out, Jesus said: “Now the Son of Man has been exalted, and God has been exalted through him;
32 Asere adi nonziko me, me ma nonziko Asere.
and God will exalt him with himself — yes, he will exalt him forthwith.
33 Ahana acincin am, ade uganiya cingilin inzi nashi, idi nyarum ma mu boka ayahudawa magu, ahira sa in hanzani idaki iha ba ane ani inboo shi ana me.
My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the Jews — ‘You cannot come where I am going’ — I now say to you.
34 In nyiza shi tize tiso, ine ini iwuzi usu ace ashi, kasi sa ma wuna usu ushi ane shi idi wuzi.
I give you a new commandment — Love one another; love one another as I have loved you.
35 Uwuza anime ani udi wu marusi shi ahana akatuma kame kani, ingi izinu su ace ashi me.
It is by this that every one will recognise you as my disciples — by your loving one another.”
36 Bitrus magun me, “UgomoAsere, uhaza abani?” yeso ma kabirka magun, “Ahira sa in hazani udake utarsum ana me ba, udi tarsaum ana dumo”.
“Where are you going, Master?” asked Peter. “I am going where you cannot now follow me,” answered Jesus, “but you shall follow me later.”
37 Bitrus magun me, “Ugomo Asere nyani ya wuna, adake in tarsuwe ana me ba? yeso magun me, indi. nya nice num barki hu”.
“Why cannot I follow you now, Master?” asked Peter. “I will lay down my life for you.”
38 Yeso kabirka magun, “Udi nya nice nu we barki mi? kadure kani in boo we, urunu ubi goro unu sana ahira, udi gu uda rusa mi ba kani ka taru”
“Will you lay down your life for me?” replied Jesus. “In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow till you have disowned me three times.
