Yohana 13
1 Ilikuwa kabla ya sikukuu ya Pasaka. Yesu alijua kwamba saa yake ya kuondoka ulimwenguni na kwenda kwa Baba ilikuwa imefika. Alikuwa amewapenda daima watu wake walioko duniani; naam, aliwapenda mpaka mwisho!
Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end.
2 Basi, Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikuwa mezani kwa chakula cha jioni. Ibilisi alikwisha mtia Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskarioti, nia ya kumsaliti Yesu.
And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, that he should deliver him up,
3 Yesu alijua kwamba Baba alikuwa amemkabidhi kila kitu, na kwamba alikuwa ametoka kwa Mungu na anarudi kwa Mungu.
[Jesus, ] knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to God,
4 Basi, Yesu aliondoka mezani, akaweka kando vazi lake, akachukua kitambaa na kujifunga kiunoni.
rises from supper and lays aside his garments, and having taken a linen towel he girded himself:
5 Kisha akatia maji katika bakuli, akaanza kuwaosha wanafunzi wake miguu na kuipangusa kwa kile kitambaa alichojifungia.
then he pours water into the washhand basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the linen towel with which he was girded.
6 Basi, akamfikia Simoni Petro; naye Petro akasema, “Bwana, wewe utaniosha miguu mimi?”
He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and he says to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Yesu akamjibu, “Huelewi sasa ninachofanya lakini utaelewa baadaye.”
Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou dost not know now, but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Petro akamwambia, “Wewe hutaniosha miguu kamwe!” Yesu akamjibu, “Nisipokuosha hutakuwa na uhusiano nami tena.” (aiōn g165)
Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 Simoni Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, nioshe, si miguu tu, bali na mikono yangu na kichwa pia.”
Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Yesu akamwambia, “Aliyekwisha oga hana lazima ya kunawa isipokuwa miguu, maana amekwisha takata mwili wote. Ninyi mmetakata, lakini si nyote.”
Jesus says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all.
11 (Yesu alimjua yule ambaye atamsaliti, ndiyo maana alisema: “Ninyi mmetakata, lakini si nyote.”)
For he knew him that delivered him up: on account of this he said, Ye are not all clean.
12 Alipokwisha waosha miguu na kuvaa tena vazi lake, aliketi mezani, akawaambia, “Je, mmeelewa hayo niliyowatendeeni?
When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye know what I have done to you?
13 Ninyi mwaniita Mwalimu na Bwana, nanyi mwasema vyema, kwa kuwa ndimi.
Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am [so].
14 Basi, ikiwa mimi niliye Bwana na Mwalimu, nimewaosha ninyi miguu, nanyi pia mnapaswa kuoshana miguu.
If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet;
15 Nimewapeni mfano, ili nanyi pia mfanye kama nilivyowafanyieni.
for I have given you an example that, as I have done to you, ye should do also.
16 Kweli nawaambieni, mtumishi si mkuu zaidi kuliko bwana wake, wala mtume si mkuu zaidi kuliko yule aliyemtuma.
Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has sent him.
17 Basi, ikiwa mwayajua hayo, mtakuwa na heri mkiyatekeleza.
If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
18 “Haya nisemayo hayawahusu ninyi nyote. Mimi nawajua wale niliowachagua. Lakini lazima yatimie Maandiko Matakatifu yasemayo: Yule aliyeshiriki chakula changu amegeuka kunishambulia.
I speak not of you all. I know those whom I have chosen; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.
19 Mimi nimewaambieni mambo haya sasa kabla hayajatokea, ili yatakapotokea mpate kuamini kuwa mimi ndimi.
I tell you [it] now before it happens, that when it happens, ye may believe that I am [he].
20 Kweli nawaambieni anayempokea yule ninayemtuma anaponipokea mimi; na anayenipokea mimi, anampokea yule aliyenituma.”
Verily, verily, I say to you, He who receives whomsoever I shall send receives me; and he that receives me receives him who has sent me.
21 Alipokwisha sema hayo, Yesu alifadhaika sana rohoni, akasema wazi, “Kweli nawaambieni, mmoja wenu atanisaliti!”
Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.
22 Wanafunzi wakatazama wasiweze kabisa kujua anasema nani.
The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.
23 Mmoja wa wanafunzi, ambaye Yesu alikuwa anampenda sana, alikuwa ameketi karibu na Yesu.
Now there was at table one of his disciples in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.
24 Basi, Simoni Petro akamwashiria na kusema: “Mwulize anasema juu ya nani.”
Simon Peter makes a sign therefore to him to ask who it might be of whom he spoke.
25 Mwanafunzi huyo akasogea karibu zaidi na Yesu, akamwuliza, “Bwana, ni nani?”
But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, Lord, who is it?
26 Yesu akajibu, “Yule nitakayempa kipande cha mkate nilichochovya katika sahani, ndiye.” Basi, akatwaa kipande cha mkate, akakichovya katika sahani, akampa Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskarioti.
Jesus answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote.
27 Yuda alipokwisha pokea kipande hicho, Shetani akamwingia. Basi Yesu akamwambia, “Unachotaka kufanya, kifanye haraka!”
And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly.
28 Lakini hakuna hata mmoja wa wale waliokaa pale mezani aliyefahamu kwa nini alikuwa amemwambia hivyo.
But none of those at table knew why he said this to him;
29 Kwa kuwa Yuda alikuwa na wajibu wa kuutunza mfuko wa fedha, baadhi yao walidhani kwamba Yesu alikuwa amemwambia anunue vilivyohitajiwa kwa sikukuu, au kwamba alikuwa amemwambia akatoe chochote kwa maskini.
for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Basi, Yuda alipokwisha twaa kile kipande cha mkate, akatoka nje mara. Na ilikuwa usiku.
Having therefore received the morsel, he went out immediately; and it was night.
31 Baada ya Yuda kuondoka, Yesu akasema, “Sasa Mwana wa Mtu ametukuzwa, naye Mungu ametukuzwa ndani yake.
When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 Na kama utukufu wa Mungu umefunuliwa ndani ya Mwana, basi, naye Mungu ataudhihirisha utukufu wa Mwana ndani yake mwenyewe, na atafanya hivyo mara.
If God be glorified in him, God also shall glorify him in himself, and shall glorify him immediately.
33 “Watoto wangu, bado niko nanyi kwa muda mfupi tu. Mtanitafuta, lakini sasa nawaambieni yale niliyowaambia viongozi wa Wayahudi: Niendako ninyi hamwezi kwenda!
Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go ye cannot come, I say to you also now.
34 Nawapeni amri mpya: pendaneni; pendaneni kama nilivyowapenda ninyi.
A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 Mkipendana, watu wote watajua kwamba ninyi ni wanafunzi wangu.”
By this shall all know that ye are disciples of mine, if ye have love amongst yourselves.
36 Simoni Petro akamwuliza, “Bwana, unakwenda wapi?” Yesu akajibu, “Niendako huwezi kunifuata sasa, lakini utanifuata baadaye.”
Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me after.
37 Petro akamwambia “Bwana, kwa nini siwezi kukufuata sasa? Niko tayari kufa kwa ajili yako!”
Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
38 Yesu akajibu, “Je, uko tayari kweli kufa kwa ajili yangu? Kweli nakwambia, kabla jogoo hajawika utanikana mara tatu!”
Jesus answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice.
