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.
Now before the feast of the Passover, Yeshua, 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 Ɛberɛ a na Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ te adidiiɛ no, ɔbonsam kɔhyɛɛ Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ Simon ba no mu sɛ ɔnyi Yesu mma.
During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judah Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3 Yesu nim sɛ nʼAgya de tumi nyinaa ahyɛ ne nsa, na ɔfiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na ɔbaeɛ, na ɔresane akɔ ne nkyɛn.
Yeshua, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4 Yesu sɔre firii didipono no ho, yii nʼatadeɛ ngugusoɔ guu hɔ, de mpepaho twaa nʼasene.
arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 Ɔhwiee nsuo guu dwaresɛn bi mu na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ hohoroo asuafoɔ no nan ase de mpepaho no pepaeɛ.
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 Ɛberɛ a Yesu duruu Simon Petro so no, Petro bisaa no sɛ. “Awurade, worebɛhohoro me nan ase anaa?”
Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
7 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Deɛ mereyɛ yi, worente aseɛ seesei, nanso akyire no wobɛte aseɛ.”
Yeshua answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
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 said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Yeshua answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no 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.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also 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.”
Yeshua 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 ɔrebɛyi no ama no, ɛno enti na ɔkaa sɛ ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔn ho ate no.
For he knew him who would betray him; therefore 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?
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 ‘Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ’ ne ‘Awurade’ a, modi me frɛ; ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno ne deɛ meyɛ.
You call me, ‘Rabbi’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so 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 I then, the Lord and the Rabbi, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 Mayɛ yei de ayɛ nhwɛsoɔ ama mo sɛdeɛ mo nso mobɛyɛ saa ara.
For I have given you an example, that you should 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.
Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17 Afei a moate deɛ meyɛeɛ no ase yi, sɛ moyɛ saa bi a, mobɛnya nhyira.
If you know these things, blessed are you if you 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 don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats 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.
From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe 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.”
Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who 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!”
When Yeshua had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22 Asuafoɔ no de ahodwirie hwehwɛhwehwɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu deɛ ɔde no no.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23 Na asuafoɔ no mu baako a Yesu pɛ nʼasɛm no te ne nkyɛn pɛɛ.
One of his disciples, whom Yeshua loved, was at the table, leaning against Yeshua’s chest.
24 Simon Petro buu nʼani sɛ, “Bisa no na ɔnkyerɛ wo onipa ko a ɔreka ne ho asɛm no.”
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
25 Ɛno enti saa osuani no twe bɛn Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, ɛyɛ hwan?”
He, leaning back, as he was, on Yeshua’s chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
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.
Yeshua 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 Judah, the son of Simon Iscariot.
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!”
After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Yeshua said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 Wɔn a na wɔte adidiiɛ no mu biara ante asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no no ase.
Now nobody at the table knew why he said this 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, because Judah had the money box, that Yeshua said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Yuda gyee burodo no pɛ na ɔfirii adi; saa ɛberɛ no na ɛyɛ anadwo.
Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. 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.
When he had gone out, Yeshua 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 animuonyam da adi a, Onyankopɔn nso nam ne tumi so bɛda Onipa Ba no animuonyam adi. Ɔbɛyɛ yei ntɛm so.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he 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.
Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Judeans, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
34 “Ahyɛdeɛ foforɔ na mede regya mo sɛ, ‘Monnodɔ mo ho sɛdeɛ medɔ mo no.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
35 Na sɛ mododɔ mo ho mo ho a, obiara bɛhunu sɛ moyɛ mʼasuafoɔ.’”
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one 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 said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Yeshua answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
37 Petro bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, adɛn enti na merentumi nni wʼakyi saa ɛberɛ yi? Ɛyɛ owuo mpo a, mɛwu ama wo.”
Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
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.”
Yeshua answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
