Johan 13
1 Yoom khotue hlanah he Diklai lamkah Pa taengla a thoeih ham tue te hampha coeng tila Jesuh loh a ming. Te dongah Diklai ah a lungnah rhoek te a bawt due a lungnah.
When it was the evening before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and [to return] to [his] Father [in heaven]. He loved us who [were his disciples]. He knew [we would continue to live here] in this world, so now he [showed us] how completely he loved us.
2 Hlaembuh a vael uh vaengah amah aka voei ham Simon capa Judas Iskariot loh a thinko ah rhaithae a khueh coeng.
We were eating [the Passover meal]. (The devil/Satan) had already suggested to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the son of Simon, that he should (betray Jesus/enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
3 Pa loh Jesuh amah kut ah boeih a paek tih Pathen taeng lamkah aka thoeng te Pathen taengla cet tila a ming.
But Jesus knew that his Father had given to him complete authority [to control the situation]. He knew that he had come from God and would soon return to God.
4 Buhkung lamkah a thoh neh a himbai a dul. Te phoeiah rhawnawn a loh tih a vaep.
[But before he left us, he wanted to show us how we should love each other]. [So] he got up from where he was eating. He took off his [outer] cloak and wrapped a [long] towel around his waist, [as a slave would do].
5 Baeldung dongah tui a loei tih hnukbang rhoek kah kho te koe a silh. Te phoeiah a vaep tangtae la aka om rhawnawn neh a huih pah.
Then he poured some water in a basin. He began to wash our feet, and then dry them with the towel that he had wrapped around himself.
6 Simon Peter taengah a pha vaengah amah te, “Boeipa, nang loh kai kho na sil aya?,” a ti nah.
When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, it is not right for you [RHQ] to [humble yourself by] washing my feet!”
7 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Ka saii he nang loh tahae ah na ming pawt dae tahae lamkah phoeiah na ming bitni,” a ti nah.
Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8 Peter loh, “Ka kho he a voelvai ah sil loengloeng boeh,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Nang kan sil pawt koinih kai taengah benbo benpang la na om mahpawh,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
9 Amah te Simon Peter loh, “Boeipa, ka kho bueng pawt tih ka kut neh ka lu khawm ta,” a ti nah.
So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
10 Jesuh loh anih taengah, “Tui aka hlu tah a caih la boeih om tih a kho silh ham bueng pawt atah a tloe silh ngoe pawh. Te phoeiah nangmih tah a caih na om uhuh dae boeih na cim uh moenih,” a ti nah.
[Then, to show him that after God had cleansed people from being guilty for sin, they needed only for God to forgive their daily sins] [MET], Jesus said to him, “Those who have recently bathed need only to have their feet washed, [because they get dirty very quickly on the dusty roads]. The [rest of their bodies are] clean. Similarly, I have made you [disciples] free/clean [from the guilt of your sins], although not all of you are free from guilt.”
11 Amah aka voei te a ming coeng. Te dongah, “A caih la boeih na om uh pawh,” a ti nah.
He knew which one [of us] was going to betray him. That is the reason he said, “Not all of you are free from guilt.”
12 Amih kah kho te a silh phoeiah a himbai te a loh tih koep ngol. Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih ham ka saii te na ming uh a?
After he finished washing our feet, he put his cloak back on. Then he sat down and said to us, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
13 Nangmih loh kai he saya neh boeipa la nan khue uh dae ka om van dongah balh na thui uh.
You [show that you respect me by] calling me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’. You are right to say that, because I am your teacher and your Lord.
14 Te dongah kai boeipa neh saya loh nangmih kah kho te ka silh atah nangmih khaw khat neh khat kah kho te na silh uh ham a kuek.
But if I, who am your teacher and your Lord, have washed your feet, you ought to [serve each other by doing things like] washing each other’s feet.
15 Kai loh nangmih taengah ka saii bangla nangmih long khaw saii uh tila moeiboe pakhat nangmih kan paek coeng.
I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
16 Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, sal tah a boei lakah tanglue la, caeltueih khaw amah aka tueih lakah tanglue la a om moenih.
Listen to this carefully: A servant is not greater than his master. A messenger is not greater than the one who has sent him. [So, since you are not greater than I am, you should not be proud and unwilling to serve each other].
17 He he na ming uh tih te rhoek te na vai uh atah yoethen la na om uh coeng.
Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
18 Nangmih boeih ham ka thui moenih a? Kamah loh ka tuek te ka ming. Tedae cacim te tah soep mai saeh. Ka buh aka ca loh kai taengah a khodil a taloeh coeng.
“I am not saying that [God will bless] all of you. I knew [what all of you were like when] I chose you. But [I also chose the one who will betray me], in order that what is written in Scripture might be fulfilled {to fulfill what someone/the psalmist wrote in Scripture}, ‘The one who is [acting like he is my friend by] eating with me has become my enemy [IDM].’
19 A om hlanah nangmih kan ti nah coeng. Te daengah ni a om vaengah kai ni tila nan tangnah uh eh.
I am telling you [about someone betraying me] before it happens, in order that when it happens, you may continue to believe that I am ([the Messiah/who I say I am]).
20 Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, khat khat ka tueih te aka doe long tah kai ni n'doe. Kai aka doe long khaw kai aka tueih te a doe,” a ti nah.
Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, [God will consider that] they are accepting me. And those who accept me, [God will consider that] they are accepting [my Father], who sent me.”
21 Hekah he Jesuh loh a thui vaengah mueihla hinghuen doela a phong tih, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui nangmih khuikah pakhat loh kai m'voeih ni,” a ti.
After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He solemnly declared, “Listen to this carefully: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
22 U a thui khaw hnukbang rhoek tah ingang uh tih khat khat ah so uh thae.
We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
23 A hnukbang rhoek khuikah pakhat tah Jesuh kah rhang dongah om tih a vael. Anih te Jesuh loh a lungnah.
[I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
24 Anih te Simon Peter loh a mikhip tih, “A thui te u lam nim a pawk ve,” a ti nah.
Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
25 Te phoeiah anih te Jesuh kah rhang dongah hangdang tangloeng tih, “Boeipa, unim?” a ti nah.
So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesuh loh, “Anih tah kamat ka nuem vetih amah taengah ka paek ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah kamat te a nuem phoeiah a loh tih Simon capa Judas Iskariot te a paek.
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I dip it [in the sauce in the dish].” Then, [to show us that he knew who would enable his enemies to seize him], after he dipped the bread [in the sauce], he gave it to Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]).
27 Kamat nen mah anih te Satan loh a kun thil coeng. Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Na saii te hat saii to,” a ti nah.
As soon as [Judas ate] the bread, Satan took control of him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”
28 A taengah a thui te aka vael rhoek loh ming pawh.
But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
29 A ngen loh tangkacun te Judas loh a khoem dongah khotue ham a ngoe koi te lai ham neh khodaeng rhoek te khat khat paek ham te Jesuh loh anih a ti nah tila a poek uh.
Since Judas took care of the money [people gave us to help us], some thought Jesus was telling him to [go and] buy some things we needed for the [Passover] celebration. [Some thought he was telling him] to give some money to poor people.
30 Te dongah anih loh vaidam kamat te a doe tih pahoi cet. Te vaengah khoyin la om.
As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
31 A caeh tangloeng vaengah Jesuh loh, “Tahae ah hlang capa tah a thangpom vetih Pathen tah anih ah a thangpom ni.
After Judas left, Jesus said, “Now it will be shown {[my Father] will show} how wonderful I, the one who came from heaven, am. And by what I do it will be seen {people will see} how great God is.
32 Pathen te anih ah a thangpom atah Pathen long khaw amah dongah anih a thangpom ni. Te vaengah anih te tlek a thangpom ni.
Since by what I do people will see how awesome God is, God himself will show people how awesome I am. And he will do that very soon.
33 Oingaih rhoek, nangmih taengah kolkalh tah ka om pueng vetih kai nan toem uh ni. Tedae Judah rhoek taengah, ' Ka caeh nah te nam pha ham coeng thai pawh, ' ka ti nah vanbangla nangmih taengah khaw kan thui coeng.
[You whom I love as though you were] my children, I will continue with you only a short time longer. Then you will look for me, but I will not be here. Just like I told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], I am telling you now, that where I am going, you cannot come [yet].
34 Khat neh khat lung uh thae tila nangmih olpaek a thai la kam paek. Nangmih kan lungnah vanbangla nangmih khaw khat neh khat lung uh thae ham.
Now I am giving you a new commandment: You must love each other. You must love each other in the way that I have loved you.
35 Khat neh khat taengah lungnah na khueh uh atah te nen ni kai kah hnukbang la na om uh te boeih a ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
36 Amah te Simon Peter loh, “Boeipa, melam na caeh eh?” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Kai ka caeh nah te tahae ah nam vai uh thai mahpawh tedae hmailong ah nam vai uh bitni,” a ti nah.
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “The place where I am going, you cannot come with me now, but you will come there later.”
37 Peter loh, “Boeipa, balae tih tahae ah nang kam vai uh thai pawt eh? Nang ham ka hinglu te ka voeih ni,” a ti nah.
Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
38 Jesuh loh, “Kai ham na hinglu te na voeih mai ni? Nang taengah rhep rhep ka thui, kai voei thum nan hnoel hlan atah ai khong loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Jesus answered, “[You say] [RHQ] that you [are ready] to die for me. But the truth is that before the rooster crows [early tomorrow morning], you will say three times that you do not [know] me!”
