Yoane 13
1 Liboso ete feti ya Pasika ekoma, Yesu ayebaki ete tango na Ye ekoki mpo na kotika mokili oyo mpe kokende epai ya Tata. Lokola azalaki kolinga bato na Ye, oyo bazalaki kati na mokili, akobaki kolinga bango kino na suka.
Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 Bongo, wana bazalaki kolia elongo, Satana asilaki kotia kati na motema ya Yuda Isikarioti, mwana mobali ya Simona, makanisi ya koteka Yesu.
While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought of betraying Him, Jesus,
3 Yesu ayebaki ete Tata apesaki Ye bokonzi likolo ya makambo nyonso, ete awutaki epai ya Nzambe mpe ete asengelaki kozonga epai ya Nzambe;
although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,
4 atelemaki longwa na mesa, alongolaki bilamba oyo alataki, azwaki eteni moko ya elamba mpe amikangaki yango na loketo.
rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took a towel and tied it round Him.
5 Bongo, atiaki mayi na sani mpe abandaki kosukola makolo ya bayekoli na Ye mpe kopangusa yango na eteni ya elamba oyo amikangaki na loketo.
Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel which He had put round Him.
6 Tango akomaki na esika oyo Simona Petelo azalaki, Simona Petelo alobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, Yo penza osukola ngai makolo?
When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said, "are you going to wash my feet?"
7 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Likambo oyo Ngai nazali kosala, yo okoki te kososola yango sik’oyo; kasi okososola yango na sima.
"What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do not know, but afterwards you shall know."
8 Kasi Petelo alobaki na Yesu: — Te! Osengeli te kosukola ngai makolo! Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Soki nasukoli yo makolo te, okozala lisusu te na libula elongo na Ngai. (aiōn g165)
"Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus, "you have no share with me." (aiōn g165)
9 Simona Petelo alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, lokola ekomi bongo, kosukola ngai kaka makolo te, kasi sukola ngai lisusu maboko mpe moto.
"Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."
10 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Moto oyo awuti komisukola nzoto azali penza peto; azali kaka na posa ya kosukola makolo na ye. Nzokande bino, bozali peto; kasi bino nyonso te.
"Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true of all of you."
11 Solo, Yesu ayebaki moto oyo akoteka Ye; yango wana alobaki: « Bino nyonso bozali peto te. »
For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said, "You are not all of you clean."
12 Sima na Yesu kosukola bango makolo mpe kolata lisusu bilamba na Ye, avandaki lisusu na mesa mpe alobaki na bango: — Boni, bososoli tina ya likambo oyo nawuti kosala bino?
So after He had washed their feet, put on His garments again, and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you?
13 Ndenge bobengaka Ngai « Moteyi » mpe « Nkolo, » bolobaka na bino penza ya solo, pamba te nazali penza Moteyi mpe Nkolo.
You call me 'The Rabbi' and 'The Master,' and rightly so, for such I am.
14 Boye soki Ngai, Moteyi mpe Nkolo na bino, nasukoli bino makolo, bosengeli, bino mpe, kosukolana makolo;
If I then, your Master and Rabbi, have washed your feet, it is also your duty to wash one another's feet.
15 pamba te napesi bino kaka ndakisa, mpo ete, bino mpe, bosalaka ndenge kaka Ngai nasali bino.
For I have set you an example in order that you may do what I have done to you.
16 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: mowumbu aleki nkolo na ye te na bokonzi, mpe ntoma aleki motindi na ye te na bokonzi.
In most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him.
17 Wana bosili koyeba makambo oyo, bozali bato ya esengo soki kaka botie yango na misala.
If you know all this, blessed are you if you act accordingly.
18 Nazali koloba bongo te na tina na bino nyonso; nayebi bato oyo napona. Kasi esengeli ete eteni oyo ya Makomi ekokisama: « Moto oyo azalaki kolia sani moko elongo na ngai abalukeli ngai! »
I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says, 'He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19 Namiyebiseli bino yango sik’oyo, liboso ete likambo yango esalema, mpo ete, tango likambo yango ekosalema, bondima ete nazali oyo azali.
From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.
20 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo ayambi motindami na Ngai ayambi nde Ngai, mpe moto oyo ayambi Ngai ayambi mpe Motindi na Ngai.
In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him who sent me."
21 Sima na Yesu koloba bongo, amitungisaki makasi kati na motema; alobaki: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moko kati na bino akoteka Ngai.
After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Bayekoli bakomaki kotalana bango na bango mpe kotunana mpo na koluka koyeba soki Yesu azalaki koloba na tina na nani.
The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know to which of them He was referring.
23 Moko kati na bango, moyekoli oyo Yesu azalaki kolinga koleka bayekoli mosusu, avandaki pembeni ya Yesu.
There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved-- reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.
24 Simona Petelo afinaki ye miso mpo na kosenga na ye ete atuna Yesu soki azali koloba bongo na tina na nani.
Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us to whom he is referring."
25 Mbala moko, moyekoli yango alalelaki Yesu na tolo mpe atunaki Ye: — Nkolo, ezali nani?
So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, "Master, who is it?"
26 Yesu azongisaki: — Ezali moto oyo nakopesa eteni oyo ya lipa sima na Ngai kozindisa yango kati na elubu. Bongo, sima na Yesu kozindisa eteni yango ya lipa kati na elubu, akamataki yango mpe apesaki yango epai ya Yuda Isikarioti, mwana mobali ya Simona.
"It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.
27 Tango kaka Yuda azwaki eteni yango ya lipa, Satana akotaki kati na ye. Bongo Yesu alobaki na ye: — Likambo oyo obongisi kosala, kokisa yango noki.
Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.
28 Kasi, kati na bato oyo bazalaki wana na mesa, moko te asosolaki tina oyo Yesu alobaki na ye bongo.
But why He said this no one else at the table understood.
29 Lokola ezalaki Yuda nde azalaki kobatela libenga ya mbongo, bayekoli mosusu bakanisaki ete Yesu alobi na ye: « Kende kosomba biloko oyo tosengeli na yango mpo na feti, » to « kende kopesa lisungi epai ya babola. »
Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Boye, tango kaka Yuda azwaki eteni yango ya lipa, abimaki mbala moko. Mpe butu ekotaki.
So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. And it was night.
31 Sima na Yuda kobima, Yesu alobaki: — Sik’oyo, nkembo ya Mwana na Moto emonisami, mpe Nzambe akozwa nkembo kati na Ye. [
So when he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 Lokola Nzambe akozwa nkembo kati na Mwana, ]Nzambe mpe akopesa Mwana nkembo, kati na Ye moko, mpe akosala yango kala mingi te.
Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him without delay.
33 Bana na Ngai, natikali na tango moke kaka ya kozala lisusu elongo na bino. Bokoluka Ngai; mpe makambo oyo nalobaki na Bayuda, yango mpe nazali koyebisa bino sik’oyo: « Epai Ngai nazali kokende, bino, bokoki te koya kuna. »
Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.
34 Nazali kopesa bino mobeko ya sika: Bolinganaka bino na bino. Ndenge Ngai nalingi bino, bino mpe bosengeli kolinganaka bino na bino.
A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I have loved you, you also may love one another.
35 Ezali na nzela ya bolingo oyo bokotalisana bino na bino nde bato nyonso bakoyeba ete bozali bayekoli na Ngai.
It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples--if you love one another."
36 Simona Petelo atunaki Yesu: — Nkolo, ozali kokende wapi? Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Okoki te kolanda Ngai sik’oyo na esika oyo nazali kokende; okolanda Ngai sima.
"Master," inquired Simon Peter, "where are you going?" "Where I am going," replied Jesus, "you cannot be my follower now, but you shall be later."
37 Petelo atunaki lisusu: — Nkolo, mpo na nini nakoki te kolanda Yo sik’oyo? Nabongami kokufa mpo na Yo.
"Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.
38 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Obongami penza kokufa mpo na Ngai! Nazali koloba na yo penza ya solo: liboso ete soso elela, okowangana Ngai mbala misato.
"You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus; "in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me."
