Yohane 13
1 Ade rebɛkye ama Twam Afahyɛ no adu no, Yesu huu sɛ afei bere aso sɛ ofi wiase kɔ nʼAgya nkyɛn. Yesu yɛ obi a na ɔdɔ nʼakyidifo, na ɔdɔɔ wɔn kosii sɛ owui.
Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2 Bere a na Yesu ne nʼasuafo te adidii no, ɔbonsam kɔhyɛɛ Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ Simon ba no mu sɛ onyi Yesu mma.
And when supper was done, (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him, )
3 Yesu nim sɛ nʼAgya de tumi nyinaa ahyɛ ne nsa, na ofi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na ɔbae, na ɔresan akɔ ne nkyɛn.
Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God;
4 Yesu sɔre fii didipon no ho, yii nʼatade nguguso guu hɔ, de mpepaho twaa nʼasen.
He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.
5 Ohwiee nsu guu guasɛn bi mu na ofii ase hohoroo asuafo no anan ase de mpepaho no pepae.
After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 Bere a Yesu duu Simon Petro so no, Petro bisaa no se. “Awurade, worebɛhohoro me nan ase ana?”
He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Yesu buaa no se, “Nea mereyɛ yi, worente ase mprempren, nanso akyiri no wobɛte ase.”
Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Petro ampene asɛm a ɔkae no so kae se, “Ɛnyɛ wo na ɛsɛ sɛ wohohoro mʼanan ase.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ manhohoro wʼanan ase a na wonka me ho.” (aiōn g165)
Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Petro kae se, “Awurade, ɛno de na ɛnyɛ mʼanan ase nko, na mmom me nsa ho ne me tirim nso ka ho.”
Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.
10 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Obiara a waguare no aguaree ho nhia no bio gye nʼanan ase nko na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhohoro, ne nipadua no de, efi biara nni ho. Mo nyinaa ho afi, gye mo mu baako pɛ.”
Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.
11 Na Yesu nim onipa ko a ɔrebeyi no ama no, ɛno nti na ɔkae se ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔn ho afi no.
For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.
12 Yesu hohoroo wɔn anan ase wiei no, ɔfaa nʼatade nguguso no hyɛe, san kɔtenaa didipon no ho. Afei obisaa nʼasuafo no se, “Mote nea mayɛ yi ase ana?
Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?
13 Mofrɛ me ‘Kyerɛkyerɛfo’ ne ‘Awurade’ a mudi me frɛ; efisɛ ɛno ne nea meyɛ.
You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.
14 Sɛ me a meyɛ mo Awurade ne Kyerɛkyerɛfo no mpo ahohoro mʼanan ase a ɛno de, na ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso mohohoro hohoro mo ho mo ho anan ase.
If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 Mayɛ eyi de ayɛ nhwɛso ama mo sɛnea mo nso mobɛyɛ saa ara.
For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.
16 Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, akoa nsen ne wura; saa ara na ɔsomafo nso nsen nea ɔsomaa no no.
Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
17 Afei a moate nea meyɛe no ase yi, sɛ moyɛ saa bi a mubenya nhyira.
If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
18 “Ɛnyɛ mo nyinaa na mereka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ mo, minim wɔn a mayi wɔn. Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ Kyerɛwsɛm a ɛka se, ‘Onipa a ɔne me to nsa didi no beyi me ama’ no ba mu.
I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me, shall lift up his heel against me.
19 “Mereka eyinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo ansa na aba mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubegye adi.
At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
20 Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, obiara a obegye nea masoma no no gye me nso, na obiara a ogye me nso no gye nea ɔsomaa me no.”
Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
21 Yesu kaa eyinom nyinaa wiei no, ne ho yeraw no ma ɔpaee mu kae se, “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo, mo mu baako beyi me ama!”
When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, one of you shall betray me.
22 Asuafo no de ahodwiriw hwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim pɛɛ sɛ wohu nea ɔde no no.
The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke.
23 Na asuafo no mu baako a Yesu pɛ nʼasɛm no te ne nkyɛn pɛɛ.
Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Petro buu nʼani se, “Bisa no na ɔnkyerɛ wo onipa ko a ɔreka ne ho asɛm no.”
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh?
25 Ɛno nti saa osuani no twiw bɛn Yesu bisaa no se, “Awurade, ɛyɛ hena?”
He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it?
26 Yesu buae se, “Nea mede brodo bɛbɔ mu ama no no, ɔno na obeyi me ama.” Na ɔde brodo bɔɔ mu maa Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ Simon ba no.
Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 Bere a Yuda gyee brodo no pɛ, na ɔbonsam bɛhyɛɛ ne mu. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nea wopɛ sɛ woyɛ no, yɛ no ntɛm!”
And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly.
28 Wɔn a na wɔte adidii no mu biara ante asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no no ase.
Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto him.
29 Esiane sɛ Yuda na ɔhwɛ asuafo no sika so nti, na wosusuw sɛ Yesu reka akyerɛ no se ɔnkɔtɔ biribi a ɛho hia ma afahyɛ no anaasɛ ɔnkɔma ahiafo biribi.
For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Yuda gyee brodo no pɛ na ofii adi; saa bere no na ɛyɛ anadwo.
He therefore having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night.
31 Yuda fii adi kɔe akyi no, Yesu kae se, “Afei na Onipa Ba no anuonyam ada adi; na Onyankopɔn nam Ɔba no so ada nʼanuonyam adi.
When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 Na sɛ ɛnam Ɔba no so na Onyankopɔn anuonyam da adi a, Onyankopɔn nso nam ne tumi so bɛda Onipa Ba no anuonyam adi. Ɔbɛyɛ eyi ntɛm so.
If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself; and immediately will he glorify him.
33 “Me mma, ɛrenkyɛ biara na megyaw mo hɔ. Sɛnea meka kyerɛɛ Yudafo mpanyin no, mobɛhwehwɛ me nanso morentumi mma faako a merekɔ hɔ no.
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me; and as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now.
34 “Ahyɛde foforo na mede regyaw mo sɛ, ‘Monnodɔ mo ho mo ho sɛnea medɔ mo no.
A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 Na sɛ mododɔ mo ho mo ho a obiara behu sɛ moyɛ mʼasuafo.’”
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
36 Simon Petro bisaa Yesu se “Awurade, ɛhe na worekɔ?” Yesu buaa no se, “Faako a merekɔ no de, worentumi nni mʼakyi; daakye bi wobɛba abɛka me ho.”
Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow hereafter.
37 Petro bisaa no se, “Awurade, adɛn nti na merentumi nni wʼakyi saa bere yi? Ɛyɛ owu mpo a, mewu ama wo.”
Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
38 Yesu bisaa no se, “Woasiesie wo ho ampa ara sɛ wubewu ama me ana? Mereka nokware akyerɛ wo se, ansa na akokɔ bɛbɔn no, na woapa me mprɛnsa.”
Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice.
