UJohane 13
1 Kwathi ungakafiki umkhosi wephasika, uJesu esazi ukuthi ihola lakhe laselifikile ukuthi asuke kulumhlaba aye kuYise, esebathandile abakhe abasemhlabeni, wabathanda kwaze kwaba sekupheleni.
Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, having seen that his hour has come that he would depart out of this world to his Father, having loved his own in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 Ukudla kwantambama sekwenziwe, udiyabhola esekufakile enhliziyweni kaJudasi Iskariyothi, kaSimoni, ukuthi amnikele,
And supper having occurred, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that he would betray him,
3 uJesu ekwazi ukuthi uYise unikele izinto zonke ezandleni zakhe, lokuthi wavela kuNkulunkulu njalo uya kuNkulunkulu,
Jesus, having seen that the Father has given all the things to him, into his hands, and that he came from God, and goes to God,
4 wasukuma ekudleni kwantambama, wakhupha izembatho zakhe, wathatha ilembu wazithandela ngalo.
rises from supper, and set his garments aside, and after taking a towel, he girded himself.
5 Emva kwalokhu wathela amanzi emganwini, waqala ukugezisa inyawo zabafundi, lokuzesula ngelembu ayezithandele ngalo.
Then he pours water into the wash-basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
6 Wasefika kuSimoni Petro; yena wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, wena ugezisa inyawo zami yini?
So he comes to Simon Peter, and that man says to him, Lord, do thou wash my feet?
7 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Engikwenzayo mina, kawukwazi khathesi, kodwa uzakwazi emva kwalezizinto.
Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou do not know now, but thou will understand after these things.
8 UPetro wathi kuye: Kawusoze ugezise inyawo zami kuze kube laphakade. UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uba ngingakugezisi, kawulasabelo lami. (aiōn g165)
Peter says to him, Thou may, no, not wash my feet into the age. Jesus answered him, If I may not wash thee, thou have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 USimoni Petro wathi kuye: Nkosi, kakungabi zinyawo zami zodwa, kodwa lezandla lekhanda.
Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and head.
10 UJesu wathi kuye: Ogezisiweyo kasweli lutho ngaphandle kokugeziswa inyawo, kodwa uhlambulukile ngokupheleleyo; lina-ke lihlambulukile, kodwa-ke kakusini lonke.
Jesus says to him, He who is bathed has no need to wash the feet either, but is entirely clean. And ye are clean, but not all.
11 Ngoba wayemazi lowo owayezamnikela; ngenxa yalokhu wathi: Kalihlambulukanga lonke.
For he knew the man betraying him. Because of this he said, Ye are not all clean.
12 Esegezisile inyawo zabo, wathatha izembatho zakhe, wabuya wahlala phansi, wathi kubo: Liyakwazi yini engikwenze kini?
When therefore he washed their feet, and took his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye understand what I have done to you?
13 Lina lingibiza lithi: Mfundisi, lokuthi Nkosi; likutsho kuhle, ngoba ngiyikho.
Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord. And ye say well, for I am.
14 Ngakho uba mina, iNkosi loMfundisi, ngigezise inyawo zenu, lani-ke lifanele ukugezisana inyawo.
If I then, the Lord and the teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash each other's feet.
15 Ngoba ngilinikile isibonelo, ukuze lenze lani njengoba mina ngenzile kini.
For I have given you an example, so that just as I have done to you ye also should do.
16 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Inceku kayinkulu kulenkosi yayo, lothunyiweyo kamkhulu kulomthumileyo.
Truly, truly, I say to you, a bondman is not greater than his lord, nor is an apostle greater than he who sent him.
17 Uba lisazi lezizinto, libusisiwe uba lizenza.
If ye have seen these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
18 Kangikhulumi ngani lonke; mina ngiyabazi engibakhethileyo; kodwa ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Odla lami isinkwa ungiphakamisele isithende sakhe.
I speak not about you all. I have seen whom I chose, but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me lifted up his heel against me.
19 Sengilitshela kusukela khathesi kungakenzeki, ukuze, nxa sekusenzeka, likholwe ukuthi nginguye.
From henceforth I tell you before it happens, so that when it happens, ye may believe that I am.
20 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Owemukela loba ngubani engimthumileyo, wemukela mina; lowemukela mina, wemukela ongithumileyo.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any man whomever I may send, receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
21 UJesu esetshilo lezizinto wakhathazeka emoyeni, wafakaza wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini, omunye wenu uzanginikela.
Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and testified and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray me.
22 Ngakho abafundi bakhangelana, bengaqondi ukuthi ukhuluma ngobani.
Therefore the disciples looked at each other, being uncertain about whom he speaks.
23 Kwakweyeme esifubeni sikaJesu omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJesu ayemthanda;
And one of his disciples whom Jesus loved was sitting at Jesus' bosom.
24 ngakho uSimoni Petro wamqhweba ukubuza ukuthi ngubani akhuluma ngaye.
Simon Peter therefore gestured to this man to inquire whoever he may be about whom he speaks.
25 Yena-ke eqamela esifubeni sikaJesu, wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngubani?
And that man, having leaned thus toward Jesus' breast, says to him, Lord, who is he?
26 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngulowo mina engizamnika ucezu sengilutshebile. Kwathi eselutshebile ucezu, walunika uJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni.
Jesus replies, He is that man to whom I, having dipped the morsel, will give. And when he dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 Futhi emva kocezu, uSathane wasengena kuye. UJesu wasesithi kuye: Okwenzayo, kwenze masinyane.
And after the morsel, then Satan entered into that man. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou do, do more quickly.
28 Kodwa kakho kwababehlezi ekudleni owayekwazi ukuthi ukutsholoni kuye.
But no man who was sitting knew why he said this to him.
29 Ngoba abanye bacabanga ukuthi, njengoba uJudasi wayelesikhwama, uJesu wathi kuye: Thenga esikuswelayo emkhosini; loba ukuthi kanike abayanga okunye.
For some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus said to him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Lowo wathi eselwemukele ucezu, wahle waphuma; kwakusebusuku.
Therefore having received the morsel, straightaway that man went out, and it was night.
31 Ngakho kwathi esephumile, uJesu wathi: Khathesi iNdodana yomuntu idunyisiwe, loNkulunkulu udunyisiwe kuyo.
When he went out, Jesus says, Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 Uba uNkulunkulu edunyiswe kuyo, loNkulunkulu uzayidumisa kuye ngokwakhe, njalo uzahle ayidumise.
If God is glorify in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him straightaway.
33 Bantwanyana, ngiselani isikhatshana. Lizangidinga, futhi njengalokhu ngatsho kumaJuda ukuthi: Lapho mina engiya khona, lingeze leza lina; ngitsho lakini khathesi.
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, ye cannot come, I also now say to you.
34 Ngilinika umlayo omutsha, ukuthi lithandane; njengalokhu ngilithandile, lani-ke lithandane.
A new commandment I give to you, that ye should love each other, just as I loved you, so that ye also should love each other.
35 Ngalokhu bonke bazakwazi ukuthi lingabafundi bami, uba lilothando omunye komunye.
By this all men will know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love among each other.
36 USimoni Petro wathi kuye: Nkosi, uya ngaphi? UJesu wamphendula wathi: Lapho engiya khona, ungengilandele khathesi, kodwa uzangilandela emva kwalokhu.
Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where do thou go? Jesus answered him, Where I go, thou cannot follow me now, but thou will follow me afterwards.
37 UPetro wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngingekulandele khathesi ngani? Impilo yami ngizayibekela wena phansi.
Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
38 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Impilo yakho uzayibekela mina phansi yini? Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Iqhude kalisoze likhale uze ungiphike kathathu.
Jesus answered him, Will thou lay down thy life for me? Truly, truly, I say to thee, A cock will, no, not sound, until thou will deny me thrice.
