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.
Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2 Ukudla kwantambama sekwenziwe, udiyabhola esekufakile enhliziyweni kaJudasi Iskariyothi, kaSimoni, ukuthi amnikele,
And when supper was done, (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him, )
3 uJesu ekwazi ukuthi uYise unikele izinto zonke ezandleni zakhe, lokuthi wavela kuNkulunkulu njalo uya kuNkulunkulu,
Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God;
4 wasukuma ekudleni kwantambama, wakhupha izembatho zakhe, wathatha ilembu wazithandela ngalo.
He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.
5 Emva kwalokhu wathela amanzi emganwini, waqala ukugezisa inyawo zabafundi, lokuzesula ngelembu ayezithandele ngalo.
After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 Wasefika kuSimoni Petro; yena wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, wena ugezisa inyawo zami yini?
He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost 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 knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 UPetro wathi kuye: Kawusoze ugezise inyawo zami kuze kube laphakade. UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uba ngingakugezisi, kawulasabelo lami. (aiōn g165)
Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 USimoni Petro wathi kuye: Nkosi, kakungabi zinyawo zami zodwa, kodwa lezandla lekhanda.
Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.
10 UJesu wathi kuye: Ogezisiweyo kasweli lutho ngaphandle kokugeziswa inyawo, kodwa uhlambulukile ngokupheleleyo; lina-ke lihlambulukile, kodwa-ke kakusini lonke.
Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.
11 Ngoba wayemazi lowo owayezamnikela; ngenxa yalokhu wathi: Kalihlambulukanga lonke.
For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.
12 Esegezisile inyawo zabo, wathatha izembatho zakhe, wabuya wahlala phansi, wathi kubo: Liyakwazi yini engikwenze kini?
Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?
13 Lina lingibiza lithi: Mfundisi, lokuthi Nkosi; likutsho kuhle, ngoba ngiyikho.
You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.
14 Ngakho uba mina, iNkosi loMfundisi, ngigezise inyawo zenu, lani-ke lifanele ukugezisana inyawo.
If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 Ngoba ngilinikile isibonelo, ukuze lenze lani njengoba mina ngenzile kini.
For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.
16 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Inceku kayinkulu kulenkosi yayo, lothunyiweyo kamkhulu kulomthumileyo.
Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17 Uba lisazi lezizinto, libusisiwe uba lizenza.
If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
18 Kangikhulumi ngani lonke; mina ngiyabazi engibakhethileyo; kodwa ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Odla lami isinkwa ungiphakamisele isithende sakhe.
I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me, shall lift up his heel against me.
19 Sengilitshela kusukela khathesi kungakenzeki, ukuze, nxa sekusenzeka, likholwe ukuthi nginguye.
At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
20 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Owemukela loba ngubani engimthumileyo, wemukela mina; lowemukela mina, wemukela ongithumileyo.
Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
21 UJesu esetshilo lezizinto wakhathazeka emoyeni, wafakaza wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini, omunye wenu uzanginikela.
When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, one of you shall betray me.
22 Ngakho abafundi bakhangelana, bengaqondi ukuthi ukhuluma ngobani.
The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke.
23 Kwakweyeme esifubeni sikaJesu omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJesu ayemthanda;
Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 ngakho uSimoni Petro wamqhweba ukubuza ukuthi ngubani akhuluma ngaye.
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh?
25 Yena-ke eqamela esifubeni sikaJesu, wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngubani?
He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it?
26 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngulowo mina engizamnika ucezu sengilutshebile. Kwathi eselutshebile ucezu, walunika uJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni.
Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave 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, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly.
28 Kodwa kakho kwababehlezi ekudleni owayekwazi ukuthi ukutsholoni kuye.
Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto him.
29 Ngoba abanye bacabanga ukuthi, njengoba uJudasi wayelesikhwama, uJesu wathi kuye: Thenga esikuswelayo emkhosini; loba ukuthi kanike abayanga okunye.
For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Lowo wathi eselwemukele ucezu, wahle waphuma; kwakusebusuku.
He therefore having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night.
31 Ngakho kwathi esephumile, uJesu wathi: Khathesi iNdodana yomuntu idunyisiwe, loNkulunkulu udunyisiwe kuyo.
When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 Uba uNkulunkulu edunyiswe kuyo, loNkulunkulu uzayidumisa kuye ngokwakhe, njalo uzahle ayidumise.
If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself; and immediately will he glorify him.
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. You shall seek me; and as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now.
34 Ngilinika umlayo omutsha, ukuthi lithandane; njengalokhu ngilithandile, lani-ke lithandane.
A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 Ngalokhu bonke bazakwazi ukuthi lingabafundi bami, uba lilothando omunye komunye.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
36 USimoni Petro wathi kuye: Nkosi, uya ngaphi? UJesu wamphendula wathi: Lapho engiya khona, ungengilandele khathesi, kodwa uzangilandela emva kwalokhu.
Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow hereafter.
37 UPetro wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngingekulandele khathesi ngani? Impilo yami ngizayibekela wena phansi.
Peter saith to him: 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: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice.
