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.
Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, 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 Bere a na Yesu ne nʼasuafo te adidii no, ɔbonsam kɔhyɛɛ Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ Simon ba no mu sɛ onyi Yesu mma.
And during the meal, the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, 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.
Because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,
4 Yesu sɔre fii didipon no ho, yii nʼatade nguguso guu hɔ, de mpepaho twaa nʼasen.
arose from the meal, and removed his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 Ohwiee nsu guu guasɛn bi mu na ofii ase hohoroo asuafo no anan ase de mpepaho no pepae.
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 Bere a Yesu duu Simon Petro so no, Petro bisaa no se. “Awurade, worebɛhohoro me nan ase ana?”
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
7 Yesu buaa no se, “Nea mereyɛ yi, worente ase mprempren, nanso akyiri no wobɛte ase.”
Jesus answered him, "You do not know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."
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 said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you 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 said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, 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 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 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 him who 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?
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 Mofrɛ me ‘Kyerɛkyerɛfo’ ne ‘Awurade’ a mudi me frɛ; efisɛ ɛno ne nea meyɛ.
You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, 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 I then, the Lord and the Teacher, 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 you also should do as I have done to you.
16 Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, akoa nsen ne wura; saa ara na ɔsomafo nso nsen nea ɔsomaa no no.
Truly, truly, I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17 Afei a moate nea meyɛe no ase yi, sɛ moyɛ saa bi a mubenya nhyira.
If you know these things, blessed are you 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 do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19 “Mereka eyinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo ansa na aba mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubegye adi.
I am telling you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen 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.”
Truly, truly, I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who 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 this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Asuafo no de ahodwiriw hwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim pɛɛ sɛ wohu nea ɔde no no.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23 Na asuafo no mu baako a Yesu pɛ nʼasɛm no te ne nkyɛn pɛɛ.
One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining against Jesus' chest.
24 Simon Petro buu nʼani se, “Bisa no na ɔnkyerɛ wo onipa ko a ɔreka ne ho asɛm no.”
Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to inquire who it was he was talking about.
25 Ɛno nti saa osuani no twiw bɛn Yesu bisaa no se, “Awurade, ɛyɛ hena?”
He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' chest, asked 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 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 Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
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!”
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
28 Wɔn a na wɔte adidii no mu biara ante asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no no ase.
Now none of those reclining knew why he said this to 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 money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Yuda gyee brodo no pɛ na ofii adi; saa bere no na ɛyɛ anadwo.
Therefore, having received the piece of bread, he 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 had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been 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 has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.
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, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jewish leaders, 'Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I tell you.
34 “Ahyɛde foforo na mede regyaw mo sɛ, ‘Monnodɔ mo ho mo ho sɛnea medɔ mo no.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also must love one another.
35 Na sɛ mododɔ mo ho mo ho a obiara behu sɛ moyɛ mʼasuafo.’”
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one 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 said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow afterwards."
37 Petro bisaa no se, “Awurade, adɛn nti na merentumi nni wʼakyi saa bere yi? Ɛyɛ owu mpo a, mewu ama wo.”
Peter said to him, "Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
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, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times.
