< 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.
Ku lunaku olukulembera Embaga ey’Okuyitako, Yesu yamanya ng’ekiseera kye kituuse ave mu nsi muno agende eri Kitaawe. Yesu bwe yayagala ababe mu nsi, yabalagira ddala okwagala kwe kwonna okutuusiza ddala ku kiseera ekisembayo.
2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
Bwe baali balya ekyekiro, Setaani yali yamaze dda okuteeka mu mutima gwa Yuda Isukalyoti, omwana wa Simooni, ekirowoozo eky’okulya mu Yesu olukwe.
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
Yesu bwe yamanya nti Kitaawe yateeka byonna mu mikono gye, era nga yava wa Katonda ate gy’adda,
4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
n’asituka ku mmere, ne yeggyako omunagiro gwe, ne yeesiba ettawulo mu kiwato,
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.
n’ateeka amazzi mu bensani, n’atandika okunaaza abayigirizwa be ebigere nga bw’abasiimuuza ettawulo gye yali yeesibye.
6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
Bwe yatuuka ku Simooni Peetero, Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, ggwe onnaaze ebigere?”
7 Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ensonga enkozesa kino togimanyi kaakano, wabula ekiseera kirituuka n’ogitegeera.”
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)
Peetero n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda, tolinnaaza bigere emirembe gyonna.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Bwe siikunaaze bigere, nga tossa kimu nange.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
Simooni Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, tonnaaza bigere byokka, naye nnaaza n’emikono n’omutwe.”
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.”
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Anaabye omubiri, aba teyeetaaga kunaaba okuggyako ebigere byokka, alyoke abe omulongoofu. Kaakano muli balongoofu, naye si mwenna.”
11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
Kubanga Yesu yamanya anaamulyamu olukwe. Kyeyava agamba nti, “Si mwenna abalongoofu.”
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?
Yesu bwe yamala okubanaaza ebigere n’ayambala omunagiro gwe, n’addayo n’atuula, n’abagamba nti, “Kye mbakoze mukitegedde?
13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
Mmwe mumpita Muyigiriza era Mukama wammwe, mukola bulungi okumpita bwe mutyo kubanga ddala bwe ntyo bwe ndi.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Kale Nze Mukama wammwe era Omuyigiriza, nga bwe mbanaazizza ebigere, nammwe musaana okunaazagananga ebigere.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
Mbalaze ekyokulabirako, mukolenga nga Nze bwe mbakoze.
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.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Omuddu tasinga mukama we. Era n’oyo atumibwa tasinga oli amutumye.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Bwe mumanya ebintu bino muba n’omukisa bwe mubikola.
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.’
Ebintu bino byonna sibyogera nammwe mwenna, buli omu ku mmwe be nalonda mmumanyi; ekyawandiikibwa kituukirire ekigamba nti, ‘Oyo bwe tulya emmere anneefuukidde!’
19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
Kino nkibategeeza okuva kaakano, nga tekinnabaawo, bwe kinaabaawo mulyoke munzikirize.
20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli asembeza gwe ntuma, ng’asembezezza Nze, era asembeza Nze ng’asembezezza oyo eyantuma.”
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.”
Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’alumwa nnyo mu mwoyo, n’agamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba, omu ku mmwe anandyamu olukwe.”
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
Abayigirizwa ne batunulaganako, nga tebamanyidde ddala gw’ayogerako.
23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
Omu ku bayigirizwa, Yesu gwe yayagalanga, yali agalamidde okumpi n’ekifuba kya Yesu,
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
Simooni Peetero n’amutemyako ng’amugamba nti, “Mutubuulize gw’ayogerako.”
25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Kale bwe yaddayo okugalamira ng’aliraanye ekifuba kya Yesu, n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama waffe, gw’oyogerako ye ani?”
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.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Gwe nnaakoleza ekitole ne nkimuwa nga ye wuuyo.” Awo n’akwata ekitole, n’akikoza n’akiwa Yuda Isukalyoti omwana wa Simooni.
27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
Yuda bwe yamala okuweebwa ekitole ekyo, Setaani n’amuyingiramu. Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ky’okola kikole mangu!”
28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
Ku baali balya tewaali n’omu eyategeera kyeyava amugamba bw’atyo.
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.
Abamu baalowooza nti nga Yuda bwe yali atereka ensimbi, Yesu amugambye agende agule bye beetaaga ku mbaga, oba nti abeeko by’agabira abaavu.
30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
Yuda olwafuna ekitole, amangwago n’afuluma ebweru; obudde bwali kiro.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
Yuda olwafuluma, Yesu n’agamba nti, “Kaakano Omwana w’Omuntu agulumizibbwa ne Katonda agulumizibbwa mu ye.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
Era obanga Katonda agulumizibbwa mu ye, Katonda yeegulumiza ye yennyini, era amangwago ajja kumugulumiza.
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.
“Baana bange, akaseera katono ke nkyali nammwe. Mulinnoonya era nga bwe nagamba Abayudaaya nti, ‘Gye ŋŋenda mmwe temuyinza kujjayo,’ era nammwe bwe mbagamba kaakano.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
“Mbawa ekiragiro ekiggya: Mwagalanenga nga nze bwe mbaagala.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Bwe munaayagalananga abantu bonna kwe banaategeereranga nti muli bayigirizwa bange.”
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.”
Awo Simooni Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama waffe olaga wa?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Tosobola kugenda nange kaakano, wabula olingoberera oluvannyuma.”
37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama wange, lwaki siyinza kukugoberera kaakano? Nnaawaayo obulamu bwange ku lulwo.”
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.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Onoowaayo obulamu bwo ku lwange? Ddala ddala nkugamba nti, Enkoko eneeba tennakookolima, ononneegaana emirundi esatu.”
