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.
And before the Celebration of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour has come, that He may depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who [are] in the world—to the end He loved them.
2 Ukudla kwantambama sekwenziwe, udiyabhola esekufakile enhliziyweni kaJudasi Iskariyothi, kaSimoni, ukuthi amnikele,
And dinner having come, the Devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver Him up,
3 uJesu ekwazi ukuthi uYise unikele izinto zonke ezandleni zakhe, lokuthi wavela kuNkulunkulu njalo uya kuNkulunkulu,
Jesus knowing that all things the Father has given to Him—into [His] hands, and that He came forth from God, and He goes to God,
4 wasukuma ekudleni kwantambama, wakhupha izembatho zakhe, wathatha ilembu wazithandela ngalo.
rises from the dinner, and lays down His garments, and having taken a towel, He girded Himself;
5 Emva kwalokhu wathela amanzi emganwini, waqala ukugezisa inyawo zabafundi, lokuzesula ngelembu ayezithandele ngalo.
afterward He puts water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of His disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which He was being girded.
6 Wasefika kuSimoni Petro; yena wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, wena ugezisa inyawo zami yini?
He comes, therefore, to Simon Peter, and that one says to Him, “Lord, You—do You wash my feet?”
7 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Engikwenzayo mina, kawukwazi khathesi, kodwa uzakwazi emva kwalezizinto.
Jesus answered and said to him, “That which I do you have not known now, but you will know 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, “You may not wash my feet—throughout the age.” Jesus answered him, “If I may not wash you, you 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 the hands and the 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 has been bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and you are clean, but not all”;
11 Ngoba wayemazi lowo owayezamnikela; ngenxa yalokhu wathi: Kalihlambulukanga lonke.
for He knew him who is delivering Him up; because of this He said, “You 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 reclined again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
13 Lina lingibiza lithi: Mfundisi, lokuthi Nkosi; likutsho kuhle, ngoba ngiyikho.
You call Me the Teacher and the LORD, and you say well, for I am;
14 Ngakho uba mina, iNkosi loMfundisi, ngigezise inyawo zenu, lani-ke lifanele ukugezisana inyawo.
if then I washed your feet—the LORD and the Teacher—you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 Ngoba ngilinikile isibonelo, ukuze lenze lani njengoba mina ngenzile kini.
For I gave to you an example, that, according as I did to you, you also may do;
16 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Inceku kayinkulu kulenkosi yayo, lothunyiweyo kamkhulu kulomthumileyo.
truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;
17 Uba lisazi lezizinto, libusisiwe uba lizenza.
if you have known these things, you are blessed if you may do them;
18 Kangikhulumi ngani lonke; mina ngiyabazi engibakhethileyo; kodwa ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Odla lami isinkwa ungiphakamisele isithende sakhe.
I do not speak concerning you all; I have known whom I chose for Myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with Me, lifted up his heel against Me.
19 Sengilitshela kusukela khathesi kungakenzeki, ukuze, nxa sekusenzeka, likholwe ukuthi nginguye.
From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, you 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 is receiving whomsoever I may send, receives Me; and he who is receiving 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 deliver Me up”;
22 Ngakho abafundi bakhangelana, bengaqondi ukuthi ukhuluma ngobani.
the disciples were looking, therefore, at one another, doubting concerning of whom He speaks.
23 Kwakweyeme esifubeni sikaJesu omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJesu ayemthanda;
And there was one of His disciples reclining in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;
24 ngakho uSimoni Petro wamqhweba ukubuza ukuthi ngubani akhuluma ngaye.
Simon Peter, then, beckons to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom He speaks,
25 Yena-ke eqamela esifubeni sikaJesu, wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngubani?
and that one having leaned back on the breast of Jesus, responds to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngulowo mina engizamnika ucezu sengilutshebile. Kwathi eselutshebile ucezu, walunika uJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni.
Jesus answers, “It is that one to whom I, having dipped the morsel, will give it”; and having dipped the morsel, He gives [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.
27 Futhi emva kocezu, uSathane wasengena kuye. UJesu wasesithi kuye: Okwenzayo, kwenze masinyane.
And after the morsel, then Satan entered into that one. Jesus, therefore, says to him, “What you do—do quickly”;
28 Kodwa kakho kwababehlezi ekudleni owayekwazi ukuthi ukutsholoni kuye.
and none of those reclining to eat knew for what intent 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 certain [of them] were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus says to him, “Buy what we have need of for the celebration”; or that he may give something to the poor;
30 Lowo wathi eselwemukele ucezu, wahle waphuma; kwakusebusuku.
having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.
31 Ngakho kwathi esephumile, uJesu wathi: Khathesi iNdodana yomuntu idunyisiwe, loNkulunkulu udunyisiwe kuyo.
When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus says, “Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in Him;
32 Uba uNkulunkulu edunyiswe kuyo, loNkulunkulu uzayidumisa kuye ngokwakhe, njalo uzahle ayidumise.
if God was glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself; indeed, He will immediately 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] am I with you; you will seek Me, and according as I said to the Jews, I also say to you now: To where I go away, you are not able to come.
34 Ngilinika umlayo omutsha, ukuthi lithandane; njengalokhu ngilithandile, lani-ke lithandane.
A new command I give to you, that you love one another; according as I loved you, that you also love one another;
35 Ngalokhu bonke bazakwazi ukuthi lingabafundi bami, uba lilothando omunye komunye.
in this will all know that you are My disciples, if you may have love one to another.”
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, to where do You go away?” Jesus answered him, “To where I go away, you are not able now to follow Me, but afterward you will follow Me.”
37 UPetro wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngingekulandele khathesi ngani? Impilo yami ngizayibekela wena phansi.
Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You now? I will lay down my life for You”;
38 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Impilo yakho uzayibekela mina phansi yini? Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Iqhude kalisoze likhale uze ungiphike kathathu.
Jesus answered him, “You will lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you may deny Me three times.”
