yohanaḥ 13
1 nistārotsavasya kiñcitkālāt pūrvvaṁ pṛthivyāḥ pituḥ samīpagamanasya samayaḥ sannikarṣobhūd iti jñātvā yīśurāprathamād yeṣu jagatpravāsiṣvātmīyalokeṣa prema karoti sma teṣu śeṣaṁ yāvat prema kṛtavān|
Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave the world and go to the Father. He had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.
2 pitā tasya haste sarvvaṁ samarpitavān svayam īśvarasya samīpād āgacchad īśvarasya samīpaṁ yāsyati ca, sarvvāṇyetāni jñātvā rajanyāṁ bhojane sampūrṇe sati,
The Devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
3 yadā śaitān taṁ parahasteṣu samarpayituṁ śimonaḥ putrasya īṣkāriyotiyasya yihūdā antaḥkaraṇe kupravṛttiṁ samārpayat,
and at supper, Jesus — although knowing that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was to return to God —
4 tadā yīśu rbhojanāsanād utthāya gātravastraṁ mocayitvā gātramārjanavastraṁ gṛhītvā tena svakaṭim abadhnāt,
Rose from his place, and, taking off his upper garments, tied a towel round his waist.
5 paścād ekapātre jalam abhiṣicya śiṣyāṇāṁ pādān prakṣālya tena kaṭibaddhagātramārjanavāsasā mārṣṭuṁ prārabhata|
He then poured some water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel which was tied round him.
6 tataḥ śimonpitarasya samīpamāgate sa uktavān he prabho bhavān kiṁ mama pādau prakṣālayiṣyati?
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said: “You, Master! Are you going to wash my feet?”
7 yīśuruditavān ahaṁ yat karomi tat samprati na jānāsi kintu paścāj jñāsyasi|
“You do not understand now what I am doing,” replied Jesus, “but you will learn by and by.”
8 tataḥ pitaraḥ kathitavān bhavān kadāpi mama pādau na prakṣālayiṣyati| yīśurakathayad yadi tvāṁ na prakṣālaye tarhi mayi tava kopyaṁśo nāsti| (aiōn g165)
“You shall never wash my feet!” exclaimed Peter. “Unless I wash you,” answered Jesus, “you have nothing in common with me.” (aiōn g165)
9 tadā śimonpitaraḥ kathitavān he prabho tarhi kevalapādau na, mama hastau śiraśca prakṣālayatu|
“Then, Master, not my feet only,” exclaimed Simon Peter, “but also my hands and my head.”
10 tato yīśuravadad yo jano dhautastasya sarvvāṅgapariṣkṛtatvāt pādau vinānyāṅgasya prakṣālanāpekṣā nāsti| yūyaṁ pariṣkṛtā iti satyaṁ kintu na sarvve,
“He who has bathed,” replied Jesus, “has no need to wash, unless it be his feet, but is altogether clean; and you,” he said to the disciples, “are clean, yet not all of you.”
11 yato yo janastaṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati taṁ sa jñātavāna; ataeva yūyaṁ sarvve na pariṣkṛtā imāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān|
For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said ‘You are not all clean.’
12 itthaṁ yīśusteṣāṁ pādān prakṣālya vastraṁ paridhāyāsane samupaviśya kathitavān ahaṁ yuṣmān prati kiṁ karmmākārṣaṁ jānītha?
When he had washed their feet, and had put on his upper garments and taken his place, he spoke to them again. “Do you understand what I have been doing to you?” he asked.
13 yūyaṁ māṁ guruṁ prabhuñca vadatha tat satyameva vadatha yatohaṁ saeva bhavāmi|
“You yourselves call me ‘the Teacher’ and ‘the Master’, and you are right, for I am both.
14 yadyahaṁ prabhu rguruśca san yuṣmākaṁ pādān prakṣālitavān tarhi yuṣmākamapi parasparaṁ pādaprakṣālanam ucitam|
If I, then — ‘the Master’ and ‘the Teacher’ — have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet;
15 ahaṁ yuṣmān prati yathā vyavāharaṁ yuṣmān tathā vyavaharttum ekaṁ panthānaṁ darśitavān|
for I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.
16 ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi, prabho rdāso na mahān prerakācca prerito na mahān|
In truth I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor yet a messenger than the man who sends him.
17 imāṁ kathāṁ viditvā yadi tadanusārataḥ karmmāṇi kurutha tarhi yūyaṁ dhanyā bhaviṣyatha|
Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
18 sarvveṣu yuṣmāsu kathāmimāṁ kathayāmi iti na, ye mama manonītāstānahaṁ jānāmi, kintu mama bhakṣyāṇi yo bhuṅkte matprāṇaprātikūlyataḥ| utthāpayati pādasya mūlaṁ sa eṣa mānavaḥ|yadetad dharmmapustakasya vacanaṁ tadanusāreṇāvaśyaṁ ghaṭiṣyate|
I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but this is in fulfilment of the words of Scripture — ‘He that is eating my bread has lifted his heel against me.’
19 ahaṁ sa jana ityatra yathā yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso jāyate tadarthaṁ etādṛśaghaṭanāt pūrvvam ahamidānīṁ yuṣmabhyamakathayam|
For the future I shall tell you of things before they take place, so that, when they take place, you may believe that I am what I am.
20 ahaṁ yuṣmānatīva yathārthaṁ vadāmi, mayā preritaṁ janaṁ yo gṛhlāti sa māmeva gṛhlāti yaśca māṁ gṛhlāti sa matprerakaṁ gṛhlāti|
In truth I tell you, he who receives any one that I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me.”
21 etāṁ kathāṁ kathayitvā yīśu rduḥkhī san pramāṇaṁ dattvā kathitavān ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi yuṣmākam eko jano māṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati|
After saying this, Jesus was much troubled, and said solemnly: “In truth I tell you that it is one of you who will betray me.”
22 tataḥ sa kamuddiśya kathāmetāṁ kathitavān ityatra sandigdhāḥ śiṣyāḥ parasparaṁ mukhamālokayituṁ prārabhanta|
The disciples looked at one another, wondering whom he meant.
23 tasmin samaye yīśu ryasmin aprīyata sa śiṣyastasya vakṣaḥsthalam avālambata|
Next to Jesus, in the place on his right hand, was one of his disciples, whom he loved.
24 śimonpitarastaṁ saṅketenāvadat, ayaṁ kamuddiśya kathāmetām kathayatīti pṛccha|
So Simon Peter made signs to that disciple, and whispered: “Tell me who it is that he means.”
25 tadā sa yīśo rvakṣaḥsthalam avalambya pṛṣṭhavān, he prabho sa janaḥ kaḥ?
Being in this position, that disciple leant back on Jesus’ shoulder, and asked him: “Who is it, Master?”
26 tato yīśuḥ pratyavadad ekakhaṇḍaṁ pūpaṁ majjayitvā yasmai dāsyāmi saeva saḥ; paścāt pūpakhaṇḍamekaṁ majjayitvā śimonaḥ putrāya īṣkariyotīyāya yihūdai dattavān|
“It is the one,” answered Jesus, “to whom I shall give a piece of bread after dipping it in the dish.” And, when Jesus had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot;
27 tasmin datte sati śaitān tamāśrayat; tadā yīśustam avadat tvaṁ yat kariṣyasi tat kṣipraṁ kuru|
and it was then, after he had received it, that Satan took possession of him. So Jesus said to him: “Do at once what you are going to do.”
28 kintu sa yenāśayena tāṁ kathāmakathāyat tam upaviṣṭalokānāṁ kopi nābudhyata;
But no one at table understood why he said this to Judas.
29 kintu yihūdāḥ samīpe mudrāsampuṭakasthiteḥ kecid ittham abudhyanta pārvvaṇāsādanārthaṁ kimapi dravyaṁ kretuṁ vā daridrebhyaḥ kiñcid vitarituṁ kathitavān|
Some thought that, as Judas kept the purse, Jesus meant that he was to buy some things needed for the Festival, or to give something to the poor.
30 tadā pūpakhaṇḍagrahaṇāt paraṁ sa tūrṇaṁ bahiragacchat; rātriśca samupasyitā|
After taking the piece of bread, Judas went out immediately; and it was night.
31 yihūde bahirgate yīśurakathayad idānīṁ mānavasutasya mahimā prakāśate teneśvarasyāpi mahimā prakāśate|
When Judas had gone out, Jesus said: “Now the Son of Man has been exalted, and God has been exalted through him;
32 yadi teneśvarasya mahimā prakāśate tarhīśvaropi svena tasya mahimānaṁ prakāśayiṣyati tūrṇameva prakāśayiṣyati|
and God will exalt him with himself — yes, he will exalt him forthwith.
33 he vatsā ahaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ kiñcitkālamātram āse, tataḥ paraṁ māṁ mṛgayiṣyadhve kintvahaṁ yatsthānaṁ yāmi tatsthānaṁ yūyaṁ gantuṁ na śakṣyatha, yāmimāṁ kathāṁ yihūdīyebhyaḥ kathitavān tathādhunā yuṣmabhyamapi kathayāmi|
My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the Jews — ‘You cannot come where I am going’ — I now say to you.
34 yūyaṁ parasparaṁ prīyadhvam ahaṁ yuṣmāsu yathā prīye yūyamapi parasparam tathaiva prīyadhvaṁ, yuṣmān imāṁ navīnām ājñām ādiśāmi|
I give you a new commandment — Love one another; love one another as I have loved you.
35 tenaiva yadi parasparaṁ prīyadhve tarhi lakṣaṇenānena yūyaṁ mama śiṣyā iti sarvve jñātuṁ śakṣyanti|
It is by this that every one will recognise you as my disciples — by your loving one another.”
36 śimonapitaraḥ pṛṣṭhavān he prabho bhavān kutra yāsyati? tato yīśuḥ pratyavadat, ahaṁ yatsthānaṁ yāmi tatsthānaṁ sāmprataṁ mama paścād gantuṁ na śaknoṣi kintu paścād gamiṣyasi|
“Where are you going, Master?” asked Peter. “I am going where you cannot now follow me,” answered Jesus, “but you shall follow me later.”
37 tadā pitaraḥ pratyuditavān, he prabho sāmprataṁ kuto hetostava paścād gantuṁ na śaknomi? tvadarthaṁ prāṇān dātuṁ śaknomi|
“Why cannot I follow you now, Master?” asked Peter. “I will lay down my life for you.”
38 tato yīśuḥ pratyuktavān mannimittaṁ kiṁ prāṇān dātuṁ śaknoṣi? tvāmahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, kukkuṭaravaṇāt pūrvvaṁ tvaṁ tri rmām apahnoṣyase|
“Will you lay down your life for me?” replied Jesus. “In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow till you have disowned me three times.
