Johani 13
1 Zvino mutambo wepasika usati wasvika, Jesu woziva kuti awa rake rasvika kuti abve munyika ino, aende kuna Baba, ada vake vari munyika, wakavada kusvikira pamagumo.
Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 Zvino chirairo chakati chaitika, dhiabhorosi atoisa mumoyo maJudhasi Isikariyoti, waSimoni, kuti amutengese,
While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought of betraying Him, Jesus,
3 Jesu achiziva kuti Baba vakapa zvinhu zvese mumaoko, uye kuti wakabva kuna Mwari uye anoenda kuna Mwari,
although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,
4 akasimuka kubva pachirairo, akabvisa nguvo, akatora mucheka akazvimonera.
rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took a towel and tied it round Him.
5 Shure kwaizvozvi wakadira mvura mundiro, ndokutanga kushambidza tsoka dzevadzidzi, nekupusika nemucheka waakange akamonerwa nawo.
Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel which He had put round Him.
6 Naizvozvo wakasvika kuna Simoni Petro; iye ndokuti kwaari: Ishe, imwi moshambidza tsoka dzangu here?
When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said, "are you going to wash my feet?"
7 Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Chandinoita ini, iwe hauzivi ikozvino; asi uchaziva shure kweizvi.
"What I am doing," answered Jesus, "for the present you do not know, but afterwards you shall know."
8 Petro akati kwaari: Hamungatongoshambidzi tsoka dzangu nekusingaperi. Jesu akamupindura akati: Kana ndisingakushambidzi, hauna mugove neni. (aiōn g165)
"Never, while the world lasts," said Peter, "shall you wash my feet." "If I do not wash you," replied Jesus, "you have no share with me." (aiōn g165)
9 Simoni Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, kwete tsoka dzangu dzega, asi maokowo nemusoro.
"Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."
10 Jesu akati kwaari: Wakashambidzwa haashaiwi chinhu kunze kwekushamba tsoka, asi wakachena chose; uye imwi makachena asi kwete mese.
"Any one who has lately bathed," said Jesus, "does not need to wash more than his feet, but is clean all over. And you my disciples are clean, and yet this is not true of all of you."
11 Nokuti wakange achiziva uyo waizomutengesa; nekuda kwaizvozvi wakati: Hamuna kuchena mese.
For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said, "You are not all of you clean."
12 Naizvozvo ashambidza tsoka dzavo, wakatora nguvo dzake, agarazve pakudya, akati kwavari: Munoziva zvandaita kwamuri here?
So after He had washed their feet, put on His garments again, and returned to the table, He said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you?
13 Imwi munondidaidza kuti Mudzidzisi, uye Ishe; uye munoreva zvakanaka, nokuti ndini iye.
You call me 'The Rabbi' and 'The Master,' and rightly so, for such I am.
14 Zvino kana ini, Ishe neMudzidzisi, ndashambidza tsoka dzenyu, imwiwo munofanira kushambidzana tsoka dzenyu.
If I then, your Master and Rabbi, have washed your feet, it is also your duty to wash one another's feet.
15 Nokuti ndakupai muenzaniso, kuti nemwi muite ini sezvandaita kwamuri.
For I have set you an example in order that you may do what I have done to you.
16 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Muranda haasi mukuru kuna ishe wake, uye wakatumwa haasi mukuru kune wakamutuma.
In most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him.
17 Kana muchiziva zvinhu izvi, makaropafadzwa kana muchizviita.
If you know all this, blessed are you if you act accordingly.
18 Handitauri maererano nemwi mese; ini ndinoziva vandakasarudza; asi kuti rugwaro ruzadziswe, rwunoti: Anodya chingwa neni wakandisimudzira chitsitsinho chake.
I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says, 'He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19 Kubva ikozvino ndinokuudzai zvisati zvaitika, kuti, kana zvichiitika, mugotenda kuti ndini.
From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.
20 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Anogamuchira ani nani wandinotuma, anogamuchira ini; neanogamuchira ini, anogamuchira wakandituma.
In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him who sent me."
21 Jesu wakati areva izvi akatambudzika mumweya, akapupura akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Umwe wenyu achanditengesa.
After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, "In most solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakatarirana, vasina chokwadi kuti wataura pamusoro paani.
The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know to which of them He was referring.
23 Zvino kwakange kugere pakudya pachifuva chaJesu umwe wevadzidzi vake, Jesu waaida;
There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved-- reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.
24 naizvozvo Simoni Petro akamuninira, kubvunza kuti ndiani waanotaura pamusoro pake.
Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, "Tell us to whom he is referring."
25 Iyewo achizendamira pachifuva chaJesu, akati kwaari: Ishe, ndiani?
So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, "Master, who is it?"
26 Jesu akapindura akati: Ndiye ini wandichapa chimedu kana ndaseva. Zvino aseva chimedu, akapa Judhasi Isikariyoti waSimoni.
"It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.
27 Zvino shure kwechimedu, ipapo Satani akapinda maari. Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Zvaunoita, ita uchikurumidza.
Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.
28 Asi hakuna kune vakange vagere pakudya wakaziva kuti wakareverei izvi kwaari.
But why He said this no one else at the table understood.
29 Nokuti vamwe vakafunga kuti, sezvo Judhasi aiva nechikwama, Jesu wakati kwaari: Tenga zvatinoda pamutambo; kana kuti ape varombo chimwe chinhu.
Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Naizvozvo iye akati agamuchira chimedu, akabuda pakarepo; zvino hwakange huri usiku.
So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. And it was night.
31 Naizvozvo wakati abuda, Jesu akati: Ikozvino Mwanakomana wemunhu wakudzwa, naMwari wakudzwa maari.
So when he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 Kana Mwari akudzwa maari, Mwari achamukudzawo maari pachake, zvino achamukudza pakarepo.
Moreover God will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him without delay.
33 Vana vadiki, ndichinemwi chinguva chidiki. Muchanditsvaka, asi sezvandakareva kuVaJudha, kuti: Ini kwandinoenda, imwi hamugoni kuuyako, ndinorevawo kwamuri ikozvino.
Dear children, I am still with you a little longer. You will seek me, but, as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going you cannot come,' so for the present I say to you.
34 Murairo mutsva ndinopa kwamuri, kuti mudanane; sezvandakakudai, kuti imwi mudananewo.
A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I have loved you, you also may love one another.
35 Pane izvi vese vachaziva kuti muri vadzidzi vangu, kana mune rudo umwe kune umwe.
It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples--if you love one another."
36 Simoni Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, munoenda kupi? Jesu akamupindura, akati: Kwandinoenda, haungagoni kunditevera ikozvino; asi uchanditevera pashure.
"Master," inquired Simon Peter, "where are you going?" "Where I am going," replied Jesus, "you cannot be my follower now, but you shall be later."
37 Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, handigoni kukuteverai ikozvino nei? Ndichakuradzikirai upenyu hwangu pasi.
"Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.
38 Jesu akamupindura, akati: Ucharadzikira upenyu hwako pasi ini here? Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Jongwe haringatongoriri kusvikira wandiramba katatu.
"You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!" said Jesus; "in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me."
