< 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.
Jesu o ne a itse mo maitseboeng a tsatsi la Tlolaganyo gore ke bosigo jwa gagwe jwa bofelo mo lefatsheng pele ga a boela kwa go Rraagwe. Erile go jewa dijo tsa maitseboa Diabolo a bo a setse a feditse mogopolo wa ga Judase Isekariota, morwa Simone, gore jo ke bosigo jwa gore a dirise leano la gagwe la go oka Jesu. Jesu o ne a itse gore Rara o mo neetse sengwe le sengwe le gore o ne a tswa kwa Modimong le gore o tlaa boela kwa Modimong. Le ka fa a neng a rata barutwa ba gagwe ka teng!
2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
Mme a tswa fa lomating lwa bojelo, (tafole) a apola seaparo sa gagwe, a thathelela toulo (taole) mo lothekeng,
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.
a tshela metsi mo mogotswaneng mme a simolola a tlhapisa barutwa ba gagwe dinao a ba a di phimola ka taole e a neng a ithathile ka yone.
6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
Erile a tla fa go Simone Petere, Petere a mo raya a re, “Morena, ga o a tshwanela o ka bo o re tlhapisa dinao!”
7 Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
Jesu a fetola a re, “Ka nako e ga o tlhaloganye se ke se dirang, mme o tlaa tlhaloganya ka letsatsi lengwe.”
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)
Petere a gana a re, “Nnyaa, ga o kitla o ntlhapisa dinao gope!” Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Kana fa ke sa di tlhapise, ga o kake wa nna mopati wa me.” (aiōn g165)
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
Simone Petere a mo raya a re, “Mme tlhapisa diatla tsa me le tlhogo, e seng dinao fela!”
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.”
Jesu a fetola a re, “Yo o setseng a tlhapile mmele otlhe o tlhoka go tlhapisiwa dinao fela gore a nne phepa gotlhelele. Jaanong o phepa, mme ga go a nna jalo mo go mongwe le mongwe yo o fano.”
11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
Gonne Jesu o ne a itse gore o tlaa okwa ke mang. Ke sone se a neng a se raya fa a re, “Ga lo phepa lotlhe.”
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?
Erile a sena go ba tlhapisa dinao, a apara seaparo sa gagwe gape mme a nna fa fatshe a botsa potso a re, “A lo tlhaloganya se ke neng ke se dira?
13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
Lo mpitsa ‘Moruti’ le ‘Morena’, mme lo dira sentle go bua jalo, gonne ke boammaaruri.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Mme ka nna, Morena, le Moruti, ke lo tlhapisitse dinao, lo tshwanetse go tlhapisanya dinao fela jalo.
15 For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
Ke lo neile sekai se lo tshwanetseng go se sala morago: dirang jaaka ke lo diretse.
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.
Go boammaaruri thata jang gore motlhanka ga a mogolo go mong wa gagwe. Le fa e le morongwa ga a mogolo go motho yo o mo romang.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Lo itse dilo tse, jaanong di direng! Ke yone tsela ya matlhogonolo.
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.’
“Ga ke lo reye lotlhe; ke itse mongwe le mongwe wa lona yo ke mo tlhophileng sentle. Lokwalo lo bua jaana lwa re, ‘Ene yo o jang dijo le nna o tlaa nkoka’ mme se ke se buang se tlaa tloga se diragala.
19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
Mme ke lo bolelela selo se jaanong jaana gore e re fa se diragala, lo dumele mo go nna.
20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
“Ammaaruri, le fa e le mang yo o amogelang Morongwa wame, yo ke tlaa mo romang, o amogela nna. Mme go nkamogela ke go amogela Rara yo o nthomileng.”
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.”
Mme jaanong Jesu o ne a huduegile thata mo moeng mme a re, “Ee, go boammaaruri, mongwe wa lona o tlaa nkoka.”
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
Barutwa ba lebana, ba hakgamala gore o ka ne a raya mang.
23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
E re ka ke ne ke ntse go bapa le Jesu fa lomating lwa bojelo (tafole) ke le tsala ya gagwe e tona thata,
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
Simone Petere a tla kwa go nna go mpotsa gore ke mang yo o tlaa dirang tiro e e setlhogo eo ya go mo oka.
25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Mme ka retologa ka mmotsa ka re, “Morena, ke mang?”
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.
A mphetola a re, “Ke yo ke mo tlotlang ka go mo neela senkgwe se innwe mo morong.” Mme erile a sena go se ina, a se inola a se neela Judase, morwa Isekariota.
27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
Mme ya re Judase a sena go se ja, Satane a tsena mo go ene. Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Itlhaganele, dira se o se ikaeletseng jaanong jaana.”
28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
Go ne go sena le fa e le ope wa ba ba fa lomating lwa bojelo yo o neng a itse se Jesu o se rayang.
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.
Bangwe ba gopola gore ka Judase e ne e le mmei wa madi a bone Jesu o ne a mmolelela gore a ye go duelela dijo kgotsa a ye go abela bahumanegi madi mangwe.
30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
Judase a nanoga ka bofefo, a ralala lefifi.
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
Erile fela Judase a tswa mo tlung, Jesu a re, “Lobaka lwa me lo gorogile; kgalalelo ya Modimo e tlaa tloga e ntikaganyetsa, mme Modimo o tlaa amogela kgalaletso e tona ka ntlha ya gotlhe mo go ntiragalelang.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
Mme Modimo o tlaa nnaya kgalalelo ya one, fela jaanong jaana.
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.
Bana ba ba rategang, kana nako e khutshwane jang pele ga gore ke tsamaye ke lo tlogele! Mme, le fa lo ka ntshenka ga lo ka ke lwa tla kwa go nna, fela jaaka ke boleletse baeteledipele ba Sejuta.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
“Jaanong ke lo naya taolo e ncha ka re, ‘Ratanang fela jaaka ke lo ratile.’
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Go ratana ga lona mo go kitlaneng go tlaa supegetsa lefatshe gore lo barutwa ba me.”
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.”
Simone Petere a re, “Morena o ya kae?” Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Ga o ka ke wa tsamaya le nna jaanong jaana; mme e tlaa re morago, o ntatele.”
37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
Mme Simone Petere a mmotsa a re, “Mme ke kganelwa ke eng go tla jaanong jaana gonne ke ipaakanyeditse go go swela?”
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.
Jesu a araba a re, “O ntshwela? Nnyaa e tlaa re pele ga mokoko o lela gararo ka moso o tlaa bo o intatotse o re ga o nkitse.”
