< Johani 13 >

1 Mutambo wePasika wakanga uchigere kusvika. Jesu akanga achiziva kuti nguva yakanga yasvika yokuti iye abve panyika uye kuti aende kuna Baba. Sezvo akanga achida vake avo vakanga vari munyika, akavaratidza zvino kuzara kworudo rwake.
Now before the feast of the Passover, Yeshua, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 Kudya kwamadekwana kwakanga kwava kugoverwa, uye dhiabhori akanga aisa mumwoyo maJudhasi Iskarioti, mwanakomana waSimoni, pfungwa yokuti apandukire Jesu.
During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judah Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3 Jesu akanga achiziva kuti Baba vakanga vaisa zvinhu zvose pasi pesimba rake, uye kuti akanga abva kuna Mwari uye kuti aidzokerazve kuna Mwari,
Yeshua, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4 saka akasimuka pakudya, akabvisa nguo yake yokunze, uye akamonera tauro muchiuno chake.
arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 Shure kwaizvozvo, akadira mvura mudhishi akatanga kushambidza tsoka dzavadzidzi vake, achidziomesa netauro rakanga rakamonerwa muchiuno chake.
Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6 Akasvika pana Simoni Petro, iye akati kwaari, “Ishe muri kuda kushambidza tsoka dzangu here?”
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
7 Jesu akapindura achiti, “Iwe hausi kuziva zvandiri kuita iye zvino, asi uchazvinzwisisa pashure.”
Yeshua answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
8 Simoni Petro akati, “Kwete, imi hamungatongoshambidzi tsoka dzangu.” Jesu akapindura akati, “Kana ndikasakushambidza, hauna mugove neni.” (aiōn g165)
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Yeshua answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.” (aiōn g165)
9 Ipapo Simoni Petro akati, “Ishe, ngadzirege kuva tsoka dzangu bedzi asi maoko angu nomusoro wanguwo!”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
10 Jesu akapindura akati, “Munhu anenge amboshamba muviri wose, anongoda bedzi kushamba tsoka dzake, muviri wake wose wakachena. Imi makachena, kunyange zvazvo musiri mose vakachena.”
Yeshua said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”
11 Nokuti aiziva kuti ndiani aizomupandukira, ndokusaka akati, havasi vose vakanga vakachena.
For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
12 Akati apedza kushambidza tsoka dzavo, akapfeka nguo dzake akadzokera panzvimbo yake. Akavabvunza akati, “Munonzwisisa here zvandaita kwamuri?
So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
13 Munondidaidza kuti ‘Mudzidzisi’ uye ndizvozvo chaizvo, nokuti ndizvo zvandiri.
You call me, ‘Rabbi’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
14 Zvino kana ini, Ishe wenyu noMudzidzisi wenyu, ndashambidza tsoka dzenyu, nemiwo munofanira kushambidzana tsoka dzenyu.
If I then, the Lord and the Rabbi, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 Ndakupai muenzaniso kuti muite sezvandakuitirai imi.
For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
16 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, muranda haasi mukuru kuna tenzi wake, uye atumwa haasi mukuru kupfuura amutuma.
Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17 Zvino zvamava kuziva zvinhu izvi, mucharopafadzwa kana mukazviita.
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18 “Handirevi izvi kwamuri mose; ini ndinoziva avo vandakasarudza. Asi uku ndiko kuzadzisa Rugwaro runoti, ‘Uyo anogovana neni chingwa andisimudzira chitsitsinho chake kuti azorwa neni.’
I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’
19 “Ndiri kukuudzai iye zvino zvisati zvaitika, kuitira kuti pazvinoitika mugozotenda kuti ndini Iye.
From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
20 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, ani naani anogamuchira ini anogamuchira iye akandituma.”
Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
21 Shure kwokutaura izvozvo, Jesu akatambudzika mumweya uye akapupura achiti, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, mumwe wenyu achandipandukira.”
When Yeshua had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22 Vadzidzi vake vakatarisana vachida kuziva kuti ndiani airehwa pakati pavo.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23 Mumwe wavo, mudzidzi aidikanwa naJesu, akanga akasendamira paari.
One of his disciples, whom Yeshua loved, was at the table, leaning against Yeshua’s chest.
24 Simoni Petro akaninira kumudzidzi uyu akati, “Vabvunzei kuti vanoreva ani.”
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
25 Akasendamirazve pana Jesu, akamubvunza akati, “Ishe, ndianiko?”
He, leaning back, as he was, on Yeshua’s chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesu akati, “Ndiye wandichapa chimedu chechingwa kana ndachiseva mundiro.” Ipapo, akaseva chimedu chechingwa, akachipa kuna Judhasi Iskarioti, mwanakomana waSimoni.
Yeshua therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judah, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 Judhasi achangodya chingwa ichi, Satani akabva apinda maari. Jesu akati kuna Judhasi, “Zvaunoda kuita, ita nokukurumidza,”
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Yeshua said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 asi hapana munhu akanga ari pakudya akanzwisisa kuti sei Jesu akanga ataura izvozvo kwaari.
Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
29 Sezvo Judhasi aiva mubati wemari, vamwe vakafunga kuti Jesu aimuudza kuti andotenga zvimwe zvaidikanwa pamutambo, kana kupa varombo chimwe chinhu.
For some thought, because Judah had the money box, that Yeshua said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Judhasi akati achangodya chingwa, akabuda panze. Uye hwaiva usiku.
Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
31 Akati aenda, Jesu akati, “Zvino Mwanakomana woMunhu akudzwa uye Mwari akudzwa maari.
When he had gone out, Yeshua said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32 Kana Mwari akudzwa maari, Mwari achakudza Mwanakomana maari uye achamukudza pakarepo.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
33 “Vana vangu, ndichava nemi kwechinguva chiduku chete. Muchanditsvaka, uye sezvandaudza vaJudha, saizvozvo ndinokuudzai zvino kuti: Kwandinoenda, imi hamugoni kuuyako.
Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Judeans, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
34 “Ndinokupai murayiro mutsva wokuti: Dananai. Sezvo ndakakudai, saizvozvo munofanira kudanana.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
35 Nokuda kwaizvozvo, vanhu vose vachaziva kuti muri vadzidzi vangu kana mune rudo pakati penyu.”
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36 Simoni Petro akamubvunza akati, “Ishe, muri kuendepiko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Kwandinoenda, imi hamugoni kutevera, asi muchazotevera pashure.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Yeshua answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
37 Petro akati, “Ishe seiko ndisingakwanisi kukuteverai iye zvino? Ndichakufirai ini.”
Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
38 Ipapo Jesu akapindura akati, “Uchandifira here? Ndinokuudza chokwadi kuti, jongwe risati rarira, uchandiramba katatu!”
Yeshua answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
