John 13
1 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.
Kwathi ungakafiki umkhosi wephasika, uJesu esazi ukuthi ihola lakhe laselifikile ukuthi asuke kulumhlaba aye kuYise, esebathandile abakhe abasemhlabeni, wabathanda kwaze kwaba sekupheleni.
2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
Ukudla kwantambama sekwenziwe, udiyabhola esekufakile enhliziyweni kaJudasi Iskariyothi, kaSimoni, ukuthi amnikele,
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
uJesu ekwazi ukuthi uYise unikele izinto zonke ezandleni zakhe, lokuthi wavela kuNkulunkulu njalo uya kuNkulunkulu,
4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
wasukuma ekudleni kwantambama, wakhupha izembatho zakhe, wathatha ilembu wazithandela ngalo.
5 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.
Emva kwalokhu wathela amanzi emganwini, waqala ukugezisa inyawo zabafundi, lokuzesula ngelembu ayezithandele ngalo.
6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
Wasefika kuSimoni Petro; yena wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, wena ugezisa inyawo zami yini?
7 Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Engikwenzayo mina, kawukwazi khathesi, kodwa uzakwazi emva kwalezizinto.
8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.” (aiōn g165)
UPetro wathi kuye: Kawusoze ugezise inyawo zami kuze kube laphakade. UJesu wamphendula wathi: Uba ngingakugezisi, kawulasabelo lami. (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
USimoni Petro wathi kuye: Nkosi, kakungabi zinyawo zami zodwa, kodwa lezandla lekhanda.
10 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.”
UJesu wathi kuye: Ogezisiweyo kasweli lutho ngaphandle kokugeziswa inyawo, kodwa uhlambulukile ngokupheleleyo; lina-ke lihlambulukile, kodwa-ke kakusini lonke.
11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
Ngoba wayemazi lowo owayezamnikela; ngenxa yalokhu wathi: Kalihlambulukanga lonke.
12 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?
Esegezisile inyawo zabo, wathatha izembatho zakhe, wabuya wahlala phansi, wathi kubo: Liyakwazi yini engikwenze kini?
13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
Lina lingibiza lithi: Mfundisi, lokuthi Nkosi; likutsho kuhle, ngoba ngiyikho.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Ngakho uba mina, iNkosi loMfundisi, ngigezise inyawo zenu, lani-ke lifanele ukugezisana inyawo.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
Ngoba ngilinikile isibonelo, ukuze lenze lani njengoba mina ngenzile kini.
16 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.
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Inceku kayinkulu kulenkosi yayo, lothunyiweyo kamkhulu kulomthumileyo.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Uba lisazi lezizinto, libusisiwe uba lizenza.
18 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.’
Kangikhulumi ngani lonke; mina ngiyabazi engibakhethileyo; kodwa ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Odla lami isinkwa ungiphakamisele isithende sakhe.
19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
Sengilitshela kusukela khathesi kungakenzeki, ukuze, nxa sekusenzeka, likholwe ukuthi nginguye.
20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Owemukela loba ngubani engimthumileyo, wemukela mina; lowemukela mina, wemukela ongithumileyo.
21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
UJesu esetshilo lezizinto wakhathazeka emoyeni, wafakaza wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini, omunye wenu uzanginikela.
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
Ngakho abafundi bakhangelana, bengaqondi ukuthi ukhuluma ngobani.
23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
Kwakweyeme esifubeni sikaJesu omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJesu ayemthanda;
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
ngakho uSimoni Petro wamqhweba ukubuza ukuthi ngubani akhuluma ngaye.
25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Yena-ke eqamela esifubeni sikaJesu, wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngubani?
26 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.
UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngulowo mina engizamnika ucezu sengilutshebile. Kwathi eselutshebile ucezu, walunika uJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni.
27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
Futhi emva kocezu, uSathane wasengena kuye. UJesu wasesithi kuye: Okwenzayo, kwenze masinyane.
28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
Kodwa kakho kwababehlezi ekudleni owayekwazi ukuthi ukutsholoni kuye.
29 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.
Ngoba abanye bacabanga ukuthi, njengoba uJudasi wayelesikhwama, uJesu wathi kuye: Thenga esikuswelayo emkhosini; loba ukuthi kanike abayanga okunye.
30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
Lowo wathi eselwemukele ucezu, wahle waphuma; kwakusebusuku.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
Ngakho kwathi esephumile, uJesu wathi: Khathesi iNdodana yomuntu idunyisiwe, loNkulunkulu udunyisiwe kuyo.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
Uba uNkulunkulu edunyiswe kuyo, loNkulunkulu uzayidumisa kuye ngokwakhe, njalo uzahle ayidumise.
33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
Bantwanyana, ngiselani isikhatshana. Lizangidinga, futhi njengalokhu ngatsho kumaJuda ukuthi: Lapho mina engiya khona, lingeze leza lina; ngitsho lakini khathesi.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
Ngilinika umlayo omutsha, ukuthi lithandane; njengalokhu ngilithandile, lani-ke lithandane.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Ngalokhu bonke bazakwazi ukuthi lingabafundi bami, uba lilothando omunye komunye.
36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
USimoni Petro wathi kuye: Nkosi, uya ngaphi? UJesu wamphendula wathi: Lapho engiya khona, ungengilandele khathesi, kodwa uzangilandela emva kwalokhu.
37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
UPetro wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngingekulandele khathesi ngani? Impilo yami ngizayibekela wena phansi.
38 Jesus 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.
UJesu wamphendula wathi: Impilo yakho uzayibekela mina phansi yini? Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Iqhude kalisoze likhale uze ungiphike kathathu.
