Yohane 13
1 Adeɛ rebɛkye ama Twam Afahyɛ no aduru no, Yesu hunuu sɛ afei, berɛ aso sɛ ɔfiri ewiase kɔ nʼAgya nkyɛn. Yesu yɛ obi a na ɔdɔ nʼakyidifoɔ, na ɔdɔɔ wɔn kɔsii sɛ ɔwuiɛ.
And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that the hour has come when He must depart out of this world to His Father, having loved His own who were in the world, with divine love, He loved them perfectly.
2 Ɛberɛ a na Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ te adidiiɛ no, ɔbonsam kɔhyɛɛ Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ Simon ba no mu sɛ ɔnyi Yesu mma.
And the supper being on hand, the devil already having entered into the heart, that Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, should betray Him,
3 Yesu nim sɛ nʼAgya de tumi nyinaa ahyɛ ne nsa, na ɔfiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na ɔbaeɛ, na ɔresane akɔ ne nkyɛn.
knowing that the Father has given all things into His hands, and He came out from God, and is going away to God,
4 Yesu sɔre firii didipono no ho, yii nʼatadeɛ ngugusoɔ guu hɔ, de mpepaho twaa nʼasene.
He rises from the supper, and lays aside His garments, and taking a towel, girded Himself;
5 Ɔhwiee nsuo guu dwaresɛn bi mu na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ hohoroo asuafoɔ no nan ase de mpepaho no pepaeɛ.
then He pours water into a bowl, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
6 Ɛberɛ a Yesu duruu Simon Petro so no, Petro bisaa no sɛ. “Awurade, worebɛhohoro me nan ase anaa?”
Then He comes to Simon Peter; he says to Him; Lord, do you wash my feet?
7 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Deɛ mereyɛ yi, worente aseɛ seesei, nanso akyire no wobɛte aseɛ.”
Jesus responded and said to him, What I do you know not now; but shall understand hereafter.
8 Petro ampene asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no so kaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ wo na ɛsɛ sɛ wohohoro me nan ase.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ manhohoro wo nan ase a, na wonka me ho.” (aiōn g165)
Peter says to Him, You may never wash my feet. Jesus responded to him, If I wash thee not, thou hast not part with me. (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Petro kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛnneɛ na ɛnyɛ me nan ase nko, na mmom, me nsa ho ne me tirim nso ka ho.”
And Simon Peter says to Him, Lord, not only my feet, but my hands and my head.
10 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Obiara a wadware no, adwareɛ ho nhia no bio gye ne nan ase nko na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhohoro, ne onipadua no deɛ, efi biara nni ho. Mo nyinaa ho ate, gye mo mu baako pɛ.”
Jesus says to Him, He that is bathed hath no need to wash his hands, but is altogether clean: and you are clean, but not all.
11 Na Yesu nim onipa ko a ɔrebɛyi no ama no, ɛno enti na ɔkaa sɛ ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔn ho ate no.
For He knew the one betraying Him. On this account He said, You are not all clean.
12 Yesu hohoroo wɔn nan ase wieeɛ no, ɔfaa nʼatadeɛ ngugusoɔ no hyɛeɛ, sane kɔtenaa didipono no ho. Afei, ɔbisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mote deɛ mayɛ yi ase anaa?
Then when He washed their feet, and took His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, Do you understand what I have done to you?
13 Mofrɛ me ‘Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ’ ne ‘Awurade’ a, modi me frɛ; ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno ne deɛ meyɛ.
You call me Master and Lord, and you speak beautifully; for I am.
14 Sɛ me a meyɛ mo Awurade ne Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no mpo ahohoro mo nan ase a, ɛnneɛ, na ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso mohohoro hohoro mo ho mo ho nan ase.
If then I, your Lord and Master, washed your feet, you ought also to wash the feet of one another.
15 Mayɛ yei de ayɛ nhwɛsoɔ ama mo sɛdeɛ mo nso mobɛyɛ saa ara.
For I have given unto you an example, that you may also do as I have done to you.
16 Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, akoa nsene ne wura; saa ara nso na ɔsomafoɔ nsene deɛ ɔsomaa no no.
Truly, truly, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; nor the apostle greater than him that sent him.
17 Afei a moate deɛ meyɛeɛ no ase yi, sɛ moyɛ saa bi a, mobɛnya nhyira.
If you know these things, happy are ye if you may do them.
18 “Ɛnyɛ mo nyinaa na mereka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ mo, menim wɔn a mayi wɔn. Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ Atwerɛsɛm a ɛka sɛ, ‘Onipa a ɔne me to nsa didi no, bɛyi me ama’ no ba mu.
I do not speak concerning you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.
19 “Mereka yeinom nyinaa akyerɛ mo ansa na aba mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛgye adi.
Now I tell you before it takes place, in order that you may believe, when it may be done, that I am He.
20 Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, obiara a ɔbɛgye deɛ masoma no no, ɔgye me nso, na obiara a ɔgye me no nso gye deɛ ɔsomaa me no.”
Truly, truly, I say unto you, The one receiving the one whom I may send, receiveth me; and the one receiving me, receives Him that sent me.
21 Yesu kaa yeinom nyinaa wieeɛ no, ne ho yeraa no ma ɔpaee mu kaa sɛ, “Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo, mo mu baako bɛyi me ama!”
Jesus saying these things, was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said; Truly, truly, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Asuafoɔ no de ahodwirie hwehwɛhwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu deɛ ɔde no no.
Then the disciples began to look to one another, being at a loss concerning which one He speaks.
23 Na asuafoɔ no mu baako a Yesu pɛ nʼasɛm no te ne nkyɛn pɛɛ.
And one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was leaning on the bosom of Jesus.
24 Simon Petro buu nʼani sɛ, “Bisa no na ɔnkyerɛ wo onipa ko a ɔreka ne ho asɛm no.”
Then Simon Peter beckons to him, to ask who he might be concerning whom He speaks.
25 Ɛno enti saa osuani no twe bɛn Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, ɛyɛ hwan?”
And that one, falling toward the bosom of Jesus says to Him, Lord, who is he?
26 Yesu buaa sɛ, “Deɛ mede burodo bɛbɔ mu ama no no, ɔno na ɔbɛyi me ama.” Na ɔde burodo bɔɔ mu de maa Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ Simon ba no.
And Jesus responds, He is that one to whom, having dipped the morsel, I will give it. And having dipped the morsel, He takes it, and gives it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 Ɛberɛ a Yuda gyee burodo no pɛ na ɔbonsam bɛhyɛɛ ne mu. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Deɛ wopɛ sɛ woyɛ no, yɛ no ntɛm!”
And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus says to him; What thou art doing, do more quickly.
28 Wɔn a na wɔte adidiiɛ no mu biara ante asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no no ase.
And no one of those sitting with Him knew what He said to him:
29 Esiane sɛ Yuda na ɔhwɛ asuafoɔ no sika so enti, na wɔsusu sɛ, Yesu reka akyerɛ no sɛ, ɔnkɔtɔ biribi a ɛho hia ma afahyɛ no anaasɛ ɔnkɔma ahiafoɔ biribi.
for some thought, as Judas had the purse, that Jesus says to him, Purchase some of those things of which we have need at the supper; or something that he might give to the poor.
30 Yuda gyee burodo no pɛ na ɔfirii adi; saa ɛberɛ no na ɛyɛ anadwo.
Then he having taken the morsel, went out immediately: and it was night.
31 Yuda firii adi kɔeɛ akyi no, Yesu kaa sɛ, “Afei na Onipa Ba no animuonyam ada adi; na Onyankopɔn nam Ɔba no so ada nʼanimuonyam adi.
Then when he went out, Jesus says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 Na sɛ ɛnam Ɔba no so na Onyankopɔn animuonyam da adi a, Onyankopɔn nso nam ne tumi so bɛda Onipa Ba no animuonyam adi. Ɔbɛyɛ yei ntɛm so.
And if God is glorified in Him, God will indeed glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.
33 “Me mma, ɛrenkyɛre biara, mɛgya mo hɔ. Sɛdeɛ meka kyerɛɛ Yudafoɔ mpanin no, mobɛhwehwɛ me, nanso morentumi mma faako a merekɔ hɔ no.
Children, I am still with you. You shall seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Whither I go, you are not able to come; and now I say to you.
34 “Ahyɛdeɛ foforɔ na mede regya mo sɛ, ‘Monnodɔ mo ho sɛdeɛ medɔ mo no.
I give unto a new commandment, That you must love one another with divine love; as I have loved you with divine love, that you must also love one another with divine love:
35 Na sɛ mododɔ mo ho mo ho a, obiara bɛhunu sɛ moyɛ mʼasuafoɔ.’”
in this shall all know that you are my disciples, if you may have divine love one with another.
36 Simon Petro bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, ɛhe na worekɔ?” Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Faako a merekɔ no deɛ, worentumi nni mʼakyi; daakye bi wobɛba abɛka me ho.”
Simon Peter says to Him; Lord, whither do you go? Jesus responded, Whither I go you are not able to follow me now; but shall follow me hereafter.
37 Petro bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, adɛn enti na merentumi nni wʼakyi saa ɛberɛ yi? Ɛyɛ owuo mpo a, mɛwu ama wo.”
Peter says to Him; Lord, why am I not able to follow thee now? I will lay down my soul for thee.
38 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Woasiesie wo ho ampa ara sɛ wobɛwu ama me anaa? Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ wo sɛ, ansa na akokɔ bɛbɔn no, na woapa me mprɛnsa.”
Jesus responds to him, Wilt thou lay down thy soul for me? Truly, truly, I say unto thee, that the cock shall not crow, until thou shalt thrice deny me.
