Yohana 13
1 Sasa kabla ya sikukuu ya pasaka, kwa sababu Yesu alifahamu kuwa saa yake imefika ambayo atatoka katika dunia hii kwenda kwa baba, akiwa amewapenda watu wake ambao walikuwa duniani, aliwapenda upeo.
Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.
2 Na ibilisi alikuwa amewekwa tayari katika moyo wa Yuda Isikariote, mwana wa simoni, kumsaliti Yesu.
So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,
3 Yesu alifahamu kuwa baba ameweka vitu vyote katika mikono yake na kwamba ametoka kwa Mungu na alikuwa anakwenda tena kwa Mungu.
Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4 Aliamka chakulani na akatandika chini vazi lake la nje. Kisha alichukua taulo na akajifunga mwenyewe.
Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.
5 Kisha akatia maji katika bakuli na akaanza kuwaosha miguu wanafunzi wake na kuwafuta na taulo ambayo alijifunga yeye mwenyewe.
Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.
6 Akaja kwa Simoni Petro, na Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, Unataka kuniosha miguu yangu?”
So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?
7 Yesu akajibu na kumwambia, “Nifanyalo hulijui sasa, lakini utaelewa baadaye.”
And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.
8 Petro akamwambia, “Hutaniosha miguu yangu kamwe.” Yesu akamjibu, “Ikiwa sitakuosha, hutakuwa na sehemu pamoja nami.” (aiōn g165)
Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 Simoni Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, usinioshe miguu yangu tuu, bali pia na mikono na kichwa changu.”
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.
10 Yesu akamwambia, “Yeyote ambaye amekwisha kuoga haitaji kuoga isipokuwa miguu yake, na amekuwa safi mwili wake wote; ninyi mmekuwa safi, lakini si nyote.”
Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.
11 Kwa kuwa Yesu alijua yule atakaye msaliti; hii ndiyo sababu alisema, si nyote mmekuwa safi.”
(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)
12 Wakati Yesu alipokuwa amewaosha miguu yao na akiisha chukua vazi lake na kukaa tena, aliwaambia, “Je Mnaelewa kile ambacho nimewafanyia?
Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?
13 Mnaniita mimi “Mwalimu” na Bwana hii mnasema kweli, maana ndivyo nilivyo.
You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.
14 Ikiwa mimi Bwana na mwalimu, nimewaosha miguu yenu, ninyi pia imewapasa kuwaosha wenzenu miguu.
If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.
15 Kwa kuwa nimewapa mfano ili kwamba ninyi pia mfanye kama mimi nilivyo fanya kwenu.
I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.
16 Amini, Amini, nawambia, mtumwa si mkuu kuliko bwana wake; wala yule ambaye ametumwa ni mkuu kuliko yule aliye mtuma.
Truly I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; and he who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.
17 Ikiwa unafahamu mambo haya, umebarikiwa ukiyatenda.
If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.
18 Sisemi kuhusu ninyi nyote, kwa kuwa nawajua wale ambao nimewachagua - bali nasema haya ili kwamba maandiko yaweze kutimilizwa: 'Yeye alaye mkate wangu ameniinulia kisigino chake.'
I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.
19 Ninawambia hili sasa kabla halijatokea ili kwamba litakapotokea, muweze kuamini kuwa mimi NDIYE.
From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.
20 “Amini, amini, nawambia, anipokeaye mimi humpokea ambaye nina mtuma, na yule anipokeaye mimi humpokea yule aliye nituma mimi.”
Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.
21 Wakati Yesu aliposema haya, alisumbuka rohoni, alishuhudia na kusema, “Amini, amini, nawambia kwamba mmoja wenu atanisaliti.”
When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.
22 Wanafunzi wake wakatazamana, wakishangaa ni kwa ajili ya nani alizungumza.
Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.
23 Kulikuwa katika meza, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake ameegama kifuani mwa Yesu yule ambaye Yesu alimpenda.
There was at table one of his disciples, the one dear to Jesus, resting his head on Jesus' breast.
24 Simoni Petro alimuuliza mwanafunzi huyu na kusema, “Twambie ni yupi ambaye kwake anazungumza.”
Making a sign to him, Simon Peter said, Who is it he is talking about?
25 Mwanafunzi yule aliye egama kifuani mwa Yesu na akamwambia, “Bwana, ni nani?”
He, then, resting his head on Jesus' breast, said to him, Lord, who is it?
26 Kisha Yesu alijibu, “Ni kwake yule nitakaye chovya kipande cha mkate na kumpatia.” Hivyo alipo kuwa amechovya mkate, alimpatia Yuda mwana wa Simon Iskariote.
This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 Na baada ya mkate, Shetani alimuingia. Kisha Yesu akamwambia, “Kile ambacho unataka kukifanya ukifanye haraka.”
And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.
28 Sasa hakuna mtu katika meza alijua sababu ya Yesu kusema jambo hili kwake.
Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.
29 Baadhi yao walidhani kwamba, kwa sababu Yuda alishika mfuko wa fedha, Yesu alimwambia, “Nunua vitu tunavyohitaji kwa ajili ya sikukuu,” au kwamba anapaswa kutoa kitu kwa masikini.
Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.
30 Baada ya Yuda kupokea mkate, alitoka nje harak; na ilikuwa usiku.
So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.
31 Wakati Yuda alipokuwa ameondoka, Yesu alisema, “Sasa mwana wa Adam ametukuzwa, na Mungu ametukuzwa katika yeye.
Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.
32 Mungu atamtukuza katika yeye mwenyewe, na atamtukuza haraka.
If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.
33 Watoto wadogo, niko pamoja nanyi kitambo kidogo. Mtanitafuta, na kama nilivyowambia Wayahudi, 'Niendako, hamuwezi kuja.' sasa nawambia ninyi, pia.
My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.
34 Ninawapa amri mpya, kwamba mpendane; kama mimi nilivyo wapenda ninyi, vivyo hivyo nanyi pia imewapasa kupendana ninyi kwa ninyi.
I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.
35 Kwa ajili ya hili watu watatambua kuwa ninyi ni wanafunzi wangu, ikiwa mna upendo kwa kila mmoja na mwingine.”
By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
36 Simoni Petro alimwambia, “Bwana, unakwenda wapi?” Yesu akajibu, “Mahali ninapokwenda kwa sasa hutaweza kunifuata, lakini utanifuata baadaye.”
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.
37 Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, kwa nini nisikufuate hata sasa? Mimi nitayatoa maisha yangu kwa ajili yako.”
Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.
38 Yesu akajibu, “Je utayatoa maisha yako kwa ajili yangu? Amini amini nakwambia, jogoo hatawika kabla hujanikana mara tatu.”
Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.
