Joon 13
1 Erah sa ah Khopui Kuwaang sa rangkhah ang ah liidoh angta. Jisu ih jat eta heh mongrep dowa Hewah reenah toon soonwang suh saapoot ah thok ehala. Jisu ih mongrep dowa heh mina loong ah saarookwet minchan rumta, eno rangkuh maang thoonthoon ih minchan rumta.
When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and [to return] to [his] Father [in heaven]. He loved us who [were his disciples]. He knew [we would continue to live here] in this world, so now he [showed us] how completely he loved us.
2 Jisu nyia heliphante loong ih rangja phaaksat sah rumta. Erah di dook Hakhoh juubaan ih Simon Iskariot sah Judas tenthun ni Jisu jootkot suh jen nop ih thukta.
We were eating [the Passover meal]. (The devil/Satan) had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the son of Simon, that he should (betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
3 Jisu ih jat eta Hewah ih jirep chaan aphaan ah heh suh koha, eno heh ih jat eta heh Rangte reenawa ra taha eno Rangte jiinnah we ngaakwang ah ngeh ah.
But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority [to control the situation]. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.
4 Erah raangtaan phaksat sah rumta teebun dowa Jisu toonchap ano rangkhoni kapta samsong ah khookthiin ano, nyusah ah heh room ni toondekta.
[But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other]. [So] he got up from where he was eating. He took off his [outer] cloak and wrapped a [long] towel around his waist, [as a slave would do].
5 Eno joong ah tek adi ke ano heliphante loong lah ah tiihatta eno heh room dowa nyusah rah ih hook hut rumta.
Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.
6 Jisu ah Simon Pitar reeni kaat kano chengta, [Teesu, nga lah uh tiihaat nih ehang?]
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you [RHQ] to [humble yourself by] washing my feet!”
7 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, [amadoh ngah ih tiim ehang tajatko, enoothong linah dongjat uh.]
Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8 Pitar ih liita, [Tiimtok doh uh nga lah bah nak tiihaat hang!] Jisu ih ngaak liita, [Ngah ih an lah ah latiihaat raabah,” [an nga liphante takah angko.] (aiōn g165)
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Pitar ih ngaakbaatta, [Teesu, enoobah nga lah luulu nak tiihaat hang! Nga khoh nyia nga lak nep chotchaat hang!]
So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
10 Jisu ih liita, [O mina ih heh sak saachot choi abah esa lakah chot theng, heh lah luulu ba tiihaat theng. Sen thoontang esa—wasiit ah ba.] (
[Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins] [MET], Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, [because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads]. The [rest of their bodies are] clean. Similarly, I have made you [disciples] free/clean [from the guilt of your sins], although not all of you are free from guilt.”
11 Jisu ih heh jootkotte ah jen jat eta; erah thoidi jengta, [Sen loongtang esa, wasiit ah ba.])
He knew which one [of us] was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”
12 Jisu ih neng lah ah jen tiihaat rum ano heh samsong ah we toonsongta eno teebun adi ngaaktong wangta. Jisu ih cheng rumta, [Ngah ih sen raangtaan ih tiimjih etang jat tam ih tan?]
After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
13 [Sen ih ngasuh nyootte nyia Teesu li hali, punjeng elan, tiimnge liidi ngah emah ju.
You [show that you respect me by] calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.
14 Sen Teesu nyia Nyootte ang ang bah uh ngah ih sen lah tiihaat rumhala. Erah raangtaan ih sen uh sen lah ah emamah tiihaatmui theng.
But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to [serve each other by doing things like] washing each other’s feet.
15 Ngah ih sen loong asuh jengthaak nyootsoot rumhala, seng uh emamah angtheng ngeh ah.
I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
16 Sen loong asuh amiisak tiit ah baat rumhala: Heh Teesu nang ih o dah uh elong tah angka, adoleh tiitkhaap baat kaatte ah heh daapkaat nang ih elong tami angka.
Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. [So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other].
17 Amadi sen ih ami tiit ah jat ehan, emamah ih banreeraang anbah, sen tiimthan tenroon ang an!]
Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
18 [Sen loongtang tiit ngah ih tabaat kang; o danje hang ah ngah ih jat ehang. Enoothong rangteele ni liiha ah thok jaatjaat eha, erah di emah liiha, o mina nga damdoh roong phaksah ha erah mih ah nga siikhaamte ih hoon ah.
“I am not saying that [God will bless] all of you. I knew [what all of you were like when] I chose you. But [I also chose the one who will betray me], in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is [acting like he is my friend by] eating with me has become my enemy [IDM].’
19 Erah maang angkaadi sen loong asuh baat rumhala, rangthoon doh emah ang adoh sen ih hanpi ih an ‘Ngah Liiha ah Ngah’.
I am telling you [about someone betraying me] before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ([the Messiah/who I say I am]).
20 Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat rumhala; ngah ih daapkaat lang mih ah o ih lambanchoh ah erah nga lambanchoh halang, adoleh o ih nga lam bantho halang erah nga daapkaatte wah lam bantho ha.]
Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, [God will consider that] they are accepting me. And those who accept me, [God will consider that] they are accepting [my Father], who sent me.”
21 Erah jeng lidi Jisu rapne ih mongsaam ano wuusaani dongjengta, [Ngah ih amiisak tiit baat rumhala; sen loong dung dowa wasiit ih ngah jokoh he.]
After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
22 Heliphante loong ah neng neng sokmui rum ano paatti rumta, o suh liiha ngeh ah.
We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
23 Heliphante dung dowa Jisu mongnook warah Jisu reeni tongta.
[I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
24 Simon Pitar ih helak ah moot ano erah wah rah suh chengta, [Erah o asuh li hali chengthaak uh?]
Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
25 Eno heliphante ah Jisu reeni tiittong ano chengta, [Teesu erah o ang weeli?]
So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, [Ngah ih baanlo ah khu adoh tem angno koh ang; erah mih ah ang ah.] Eno Jisu ih baanlo chep ah luptem ano Simon Iskariot sah, Judas suh kota.
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it [in the sauce in the dish].” Then, [to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him], after he dipped the bread [in the sauce], he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]).
27 Baanlo thaang damdam Soitaan ah Judas sak ni noptongta. Eno Jisu ih Judas suh baatta, an tiim reetheng ah kharok ih re uh!]
As soon as [Judas ate] the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
28 Teebun ni roongtongte heliphante wahoh loong ah ih o ih uh tajatta Jisu ih heh suh tiim esuh emah baatta ngeh ah.
But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
29 Heliphante loong ih mok samthun rumta, Judas ah ngun thiinte ang kano Kuwaang raang ih phaksat riikkaat hebaat ha erah lah angka changthih noodek suh kot hebaat ha ngeh ah.
Since Judas took care of the money [people gave us to help us], some thought Jesus was telling him to [go and] buy some things we needed for the [Passover] celebration. [Some thought he was telling him] to give some money to poor people.
30 Erah kota baanlo ah thaangpi ano Judas ah doksoon ekata. Erah tokdi rangnak angta.
As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
31 Judas ah doksoon kaat kano Jisu ih liita, [Amadi Mina Sah rangka ah dongjat thuk ha, Rangte rangka ah heh jun ih dongjat thuk ha.
After Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {[my Father] will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.
32 Eno Rangte rangka ah Hesah jun ih choh abah, Mina Sah heh ih rangka ha ah dongjat thuk ah, eno erah kharok ih choomjoh ah.
Since by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.
33 Ngaasuh ngaasah loong, ngah sen damdoh saatang tah roongtong rang. Sen ih ngah jamboi ih he, enoothong Jehudi nok hah ngoong awang loong suh baattang ah likhiik, ‘Ngah maako wanglang erah doh sen tami wangran.’
[You whom I love as though you were] my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come [yet].
34 Eno ngah ih sen suh jengdang ena koh rumhala; sen loong jaachi nah minchanmui etheng. Ngah ih sen loong minchan rumhala ah likhiik sen uh minchanmui etheng.
Now I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.
35 Sen jaachi nah minchanmui ih anbah warep ih erah doh jat ah, sen loong ah nga liphante ngeh ah.]
If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
36 [An manah wang uh, Teesu?] Simon Pitar ih chengta. Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, [Amadoh an ih nga lih tajen phanrang, ] enoothong liwang nah nga lih jen phan ehang.]
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”
37 [Teesu, amadoh tiimnge ih an lih lajen phan ah?] Pitar ih ngaak chengta, [Ngabah an raangtaan ih tek suh banban ih tonglang!]
Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
38 Jisu ih ngaak liita, [Amiisak nga raang ih teksuh banban tam tonglu? Ngah ih amiisak tiit baat hala; woh maang weeka doh an jaajom leek uh tajatkang ngeh ah.
Jesus answered, “[You say] [RHQ] that you [are ready] to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows [early tomorrow morning], you will say three times that you do not [know] me!”
