Giovanni 13
1 OR avanti la festa di Pasqua, Gesù, sapendo che la sua ora era venuta, da passar di questo mondo al Padre; avendo amati i suoi che [erano] nel mondo, li amò infino alla fine.
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 E finita la cena (avendo già il diavolo messo nel cuor di Giuda Iscariot, [figliuol] di Simone, di tradirlo),
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 Gesù, sapendo che il Padre gli avea dato ogni cosa in mano, e ch'egli era proceduto da Dio, e se ne andava a Dio;
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 si levò dalla cena, e pose giù la sua vesta; e preso uno sciugatoio, se [ne] cinse.
[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 Poi mise dell'acqua in un bacino, e prese a lavare i piedi de' discepoli, e ad asciugarli con lo sciugatoio, del quale egli era cinto.
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 Venne adunque a Simon Pietro. Ed egli disse: Signore, mi lavi tu i piedi?
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 Gesù rispose, e gli disse: Tu non sai ora quel ch'io fo, ma lo saprai appresso.
Jesus replied to him, “Now you do not understand [the meaning of] what I am doing, but you will understand later.”
8 Pietro gli disse: Tu non mi laverai giammai i piedi. Gesù gli disse: Se io non ti lavo, tu non avrai parte alcuna meco. (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 Simon Pietro gli disse: Signore, non solo i piedi, ma anche le mani, e il capo.
So Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, [in that case], do not wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head, [too]!”
10 Gesù gli disse: Chi è lavato non ha bisogno se non di lavare i piedi, ma è tutto netto; voi ancora siete netti, ma non tutti.
[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 Perciocchè egli conosceva colui che lo tradiva; perciò disse: Non tutti siete netti.
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 Dunque, dopo ch'egli ebbe loro lavati i piedi, ed ebbe ripresa la sua vesta, messosi di nuovo a tavola, disse loro: Sapete voi quel ch'io vi ho fatto?
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 Voi mi chiamate Maestro, e Signore, e dite bene, perciocchè [io lo] sono.
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 Se dunque io, [che sono] il Signore, e il Maestro, v'ho lavati i piedi, voi ancora dovete lavare i piedi gli uni agli altri.
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 Perchè io vi ho dato esempio, acciocchè, come ho fatto io, facciate ancor voi.
I have made myself an example for you in order that you should [humbly serve each other] as I have done for you.
16 In verità, in verità, io vi dico, che il servitore non è maggior del suo signore, nè il messo maggior di colui che l'ha mandato.
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 Se sapete queste cose, voi siete beati se le fate.
Since you now know these things, [God will] be pleased with you if you do them.”
18 Io non dico di voi tutti; io so quelli che io ho eletti; ma [conviene] che s'adempia questa scrittura: Colui che mangia il pane meco ha levato contro a me il suo calcagno.
“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 Fin da ora io ve[l] dico, avanti che sia avvenuto; acciocchè, quando sarà avvenuto, crediate ch'io son [desso].
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 In verità, in verità, io vi dico, che, se io mando alcuno, chi lo riceve riceve me, e chi riceve me riceve colui che mi ha mandato.
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 DOPO che Gesù ebbe dette queste cose, fu turbato nello spirito; e protestò, e disse: In verità, in verità, io vi dico, che l'un di voi mi tradirà.
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 Laonde i discepoli si riguardavano gli uni gli altri, stando in dubbio di chi dicesse.
We looked at each other. We had no way [to know] whom he was talking about.
23 Or uno de' discepoli, il quale Gesù amava, era coricato in sul seno d'esso.
[I], the [man other people call] ‘the one Jesus loved’, was sitting very close to Jesus.
24 Simon Pietro adunque gli fece cenno, che domandasse chi fosse colui, del quale egli parlava.
Simon Peter motioned to me to indicate that I should ask Jesus whom he was talking about.
25 E quel [discepolo], inchinatosi sopra il petto di Gesù, gli disse: Signore, chi [è colui?] Gesù rispose:
So I leaned close to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Egli è colui, al quale io darò il boccone, dopo averlo intinto. Ed avendo intinto il boccone, lo diede a Giuda Iscariot, [figliuol] di Simone.
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 Ed allora, dopo quel boccone, Satana entrò in lui. Laonde Gesù gli disse: Fa' prestamente quel che tu fai.
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 Ma niun di coloro ch'erano a tavola intese perchè gli avea detto [quello].
But none of the rest of us who were sitting there knew why Jesus said that to him.
29 Perciocchè alcuni stimavano, perchè Giuda avea la borsa, che Gesù gli avesse detto: Comperaci le cose che ci bisognano per la festa; ovvero, che desse qualche cosa ai poveri.
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 Egli adunque, preso il boccone, subito se ne uscì. Or era notte.
As soon as Judas had eaten the bread, he left. It was dark [outside], and it was dark [MET] [in his soul, too].
31 QUANDO fu uscito, Gesù disse: Ora è glorificato il Figliuol dell'uomo, e Dio è glorificato in lui.
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 E se Dio è glorificato in lui, egli altresì lo glorificherà in sè medesimo, e tosto lo glorificherà.
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 Figliuoletti, io sono ancora un poco di tempo con voi; voi mi cercherete, ma come ho detto a' Giudei, che là ove io vo essi non posson venire, così altresì dico a voi al presente.
[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 Io vi do un nuovo comandamento: che voi vi amiate gli uni gli altri; acciocchè, come io vi ho amati, voi ancora vi amiate gli uni gli altri.
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 Da questo conosceranno tutti che voi siete miei discepoli, se avrete amore gli uni per gli altri.
If you keep loving each other, everyone [who is aware of that] [HYP] will know that you are my disciples.”
36 Simon Pietro gli disse: Signore, dove vai? Gesù gli rispose: Là ove io vo, tu non puoi ora seguitarmi; ma mi seguiterai poi appresso.
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 Pietro gli disse: Signore, perchè non posso io ora seguitarti? io metterò la vita mia per te.
Peter said, “Lord, why can I not come with you now? I [am ready] to die for you!”
38 Gesù gli rispose: Tu metterai la vita tua per me? in verità, in verità, io ti dico che il gallo non canterà, che tu non mi abbi rinnegato tre volte.
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!”
