John 13
1 Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
Sasa kabla ya sikukuu ya pasaka, kwa sababu Yesu alifahamu kuwa saa yake imefika ambayo atatoka katika dunia hii kwenda kwa baba, akiwa amewapenda watu wake ambao walikuwa duniani, aliwapenda upeo.
2 And when supper was done, (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him, )
Na ibilisi alikuwa amewekwa tayari katika moyo wa Yuda Isikariote, mwana wa simoni, kumsaliti Yesu.
3 Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God;
Yesu alifahamu kuwa baba ameweka vitu vyote katika mikono yake na kwamba ametoka kwa Mungu na alikuwa anakwenda tena kwa Mungu.
4 He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself.
Aliamka chakulani na akatandika chini vazi lake la nje. Kisha alichukua taulo na akajifunga mwenyewe.
5 After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
Kisha akatia maji katika bakuli na akaanza kuwaosha miguu wanafunzi wake na kuwafuta na taulo ambayo alijifunga yeye mwenyewe.
6 He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
Akaja kwa Simoni Petro, na Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, Unataka kuniosha miguu yangu?”
7 Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
Yesu akajibu na kumwambia, “Nifanyalo hulijui sasa, lakini utaelewa baadaye.”
8 Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me. (aiōn g165)
Petro akamwambia, “Hutaniosha miguu yangu kamwe.” Yesu akamjibu, “Ikiwa sitakuosha, hutakuwa na sehemu pamoja nami.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.
Simoni Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, usinioshe miguu yangu tuu, bali pia na mikono na kichwa changu.”
10 Jesus saith to him: He that is washed, needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all.
Yesu akamwambia, “Yeyote ambaye amekwisha kuoga haitaji kuoga isipokuwa miguu yake, na amekuwa safi mwili wake wote; ninyi mmekuwa safi, lakini si nyote.”
11 For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.
Kwa kuwa Yesu alijua yule atakaye msaliti; hii ndiyo sababu alisema, si nyote mmekuwa safi.”
12 Then after he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you?
Wakati Yesu alipokuwa amewaosha miguu yao na akiisha chukua vazi lake na kukaa tena, aliwaambia, “Je Mnaelewa kile ambacho nimewafanyia?
13 You call me Master, and Lord; and you say well, for so I am.
Mnaniita mimi “Mwalimu” na Bwana hii mnasema kweli, maana ndivyo nilivyo.
14 If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Ikiwa mimi Bwana na mwalimu, nimewaosha miguu yenu, ninyi pia imewapasa kuwaosha wenzenu miguu.
15 For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.
Kwa kuwa nimewapa mfano ili kwamba ninyi pia mfanye kama mimi nilivyo fanya kwenu.
16 Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.
Amini, Amini, nawambia, mtumwa si mkuu kuliko bwana wake; wala yule ambaye ametumwa ni mkuu kuliko yule aliye mtuma.
17 If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.
Ikiwa unafahamu mambo haya, umebarikiwa ukiyatenda.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me, shall lift up his heel against me.
Sisemi kuhusu ninyi nyote, kwa kuwa nawajua wale ambao nimewachagua - bali nasema haya ili kwamba maandiko yaweze kutimilizwa: 'Yeye alaye mkate wangu ameniinulia kisigino chake.'
19 At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
Ninawambia hili sasa kabla halijatokea ili kwamba litakapotokea, muweze kuamini kuwa mimi NDIYE.
20 Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
“Amini, amini, nawambia, anipokeaye mimi humpokea ambaye nina mtuma, na yule anipokeaye mimi humpokea yule aliye nituma mimi.”
21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, one of you shall betray me.
Wakati Yesu aliposema haya, alisumbuka rohoni, alishuhudia na kusema, “Amini, amini, nawambia kwamba mmoja wenu atanisaliti.”
22 The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke.
Wanafunzi wake wakatazamana, wakishangaa ni kwa ajili ya nani alizungumza.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
Kulikuwa katika meza, mmoja wa wanafunzi wake ameegama kifuani mwa Yesu yule ambaye Yesu alimpenda.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh?
Simoni Petro alimuuliza mwanafunzi huyu na kusema, “Twambie ni yupi ambaye kwake anazungumza.”
25 He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it?
Mwanafunzi yule aliye egama kifuani mwa Yesu na akamwambia, “Bwana, ni nani?”
26 Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
Kisha Yesu alijibu, “Ni kwake yule nitakaye chovya kipande cha mkate na kumpatia.” Hivyo alipo kuwa amechovya mkate, alimpatia Yuda mwana wa Simon Iskariote.
27 And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly.
Na baada ya mkate, Shetani alimuingia. Kisha Yesu akamwambia, “Kile ambacho unataka kukifanya ukifanye haraka.”
28 Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto him.
Sasa hakuna mtu katika meza alijua sababu ya Yesu kusema jambo hili kwake.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor.
Baadhi yao walidhani kwamba, kwa sababu Yuda alishika mfuko wa fedha, Yesu alimwambia, “Nunua vitu tunavyohitaji kwa ajili ya sikukuu,” au kwamba anapaswa kutoa kitu kwa masikini.
30 He therefore having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night.
Baada ya Yuda kupokea mkate, alitoka nje harak; na ilikuwa usiku.
31 When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
Wakati Yuda alipokuwa ameondoka, Yesu alisema, “Sasa mwana wa Adam ametukuzwa, na Mungu ametukuzwa katika yeye.
32 If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself; and immediately will he glorify him.
Mungu atamtukuza katika yeye mwenyewe, na atamtukuza haraka.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me; and as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now.
Watoto wadogo, niko pamoja nanyi kitambo kidogo. Mtanitafuta, na kama nilivyowambia Wayahudi, 'Niendako, hamuwezi kuja.' sasa nawambia ninyi, pia.
34 A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
Ninawapa amri mpya, kwamba mpendane; kama mimi nilivyo wapenda ninyi, vivyo hivyo nanyi pia imewapasa kupendana ninyi kwa ninyi.
35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
Kwa ajili ya hili watu watatambua kuwa ninyi ni wanafunzi wangu, ikiwa mna upendo kwa kila mmoja na mwingine.”
36 Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow hereafter.
Simoni Petro alimwambia, “Bwana, unakwenda wapi?” Yesu akajibu, “Mahali ninapokwenda kwa sasa hutaweza kunifuata, lakini utanifuata baadaye.”
37 Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.
Petro akamwambia, “Bwana, kwa nini nisikufuate hata sasa? Mimi nitayatoa maisha yangu kwa ajili yako.”
38 Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice.
Yesu akajibu, “Je utayatoa maisha yako kwa ajili yangu? Amini amini nakwambia, jogoo hatawika kabla hujanikana mara tatu.”
