< Sione 13 >

1 Pea ʻi he teʻeki [fai ] ʻae [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu, naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sisu kuo hoko hono ʻaho ke ʻalu ai ʻi he māmani ki he Tamai, pea naʻe ʻofa ia kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻaʻana ʻoku ʻi he māmani, pea ʻofa pe ia ki ai ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
It was the day before the Passover festival, and Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world and go to his Father. He had loved those in the world who were his own, and he now demonstrated his complete and utter love for them.
2 Pea lolotonga ʻae ʻohomohe, kuo tomuʻa ʻai ʻe he tēvolo ki he loto ʻo Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ko e foha ʻo Saimone, ke ne lavakiʻi ia;
It was during supper, and the devil had already put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
3 Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe Sisu kuo tuku ʻe he Tamai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono nima, pea naʻe haʻu ia mei he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻalu ki he ʻOtua;
Jesus knew that the Father had placed everything under his authority, and that he had come from God and was going back to God.
4 Naʻe tuʻu hake ia mei he ʻohomohe, ʻo tuku hono kofu; pea toʻo ʻae holoholo, ʻo nonoʻo ia.
So Jesus stood up from eating supper, took off his robe and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 Pea toki lilingi ʻe ia ʻae vai ki he kumete, pea ne kamata fufulu ʻae vaʻe ʻoe kau ākonga, pea holoholo ʻaki ʻae holo naʻe nonoʻo ʻaki.
He poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him.
6 Pea haʻu ai ia kia Saimone Pita: pea pehē ʻe [Pita ]kiate ia, “ʻEiki, te ke fufulu hoku vaʻe?”
He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ia ʻoku ou fai, ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ni; ka te ke ʻilo ʻamui.”
Jesus replied, “You won't realize what I'm doing for you now. But one day you'll understand.”
8 Pea pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te ke fufulu hoku vaʻe.” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ka ʻikai te u fufulu koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke kau mo au.” (aiōn g165)
“No!” Peter protested. “You'll never wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “If I don't wash you, you have no part with me.” (aiōn g165)
9 Pea pehē ʻe Saimone Pita kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻikai ko hoku vaʻe pē, ka ko hoku nima mo hoku ʻulu.”
“Then, Lord, wash not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Simon Peter exclaimed.
10 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko ia kuo kaukau, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ke fufulu ka ko hono vaʻe [pē], he ʻoku maʻa kotoa pē ia: pea ʻoku maʻa ʻakimoutolu, kae ʻikai kotoa pē.”
Jesus responded, “Those who have had a bath only need to wash their feet and then they're clean all over. You are clean—but not all of you.”
11 He naʻa ne ʻilo ʻaia te ne lavaki ia; ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou maʻa kotoa pē.”
For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 Pea hili ʻene kaukau honau vaʻe, naʻe ʻai hono ngaahi kofu, pea toe nofo hifo, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻaia kuo u fai kiate kimoutolu?”
After Jesus had washed their feet, he put his robe back on, and sat down. “Do you understand what I've done to you?” he asked them.
13 “ʻOku mou ui au ko e Takimuʻa mo e ʻEiki: pea ko hoʻomou lea totonu ia; he ko au ia.
“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that's who I am.
14 Pea kapau ko au, ko e ʻEiki mo e Takimuʻa, kuo u fufulu homou vaʻe; ʻoku totonu hoʻomou fetoutou fefufuluʻaki homou vaʻe.
So if I, your Teacher and Lord, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.
15 He kuo u tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻae fakatātā, koeʻuhi ke mou fai ʻo tatau mo ia kuo u fai kiate kimoutolu.
I have set you an example, so you should do just as I did.
16 Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai lahi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki heʻene ʻeiki; pea ʻoku ʻikai lahi ʻaia kuo fekauʻi ʻiate ia naʻa ne fekau ia.
I tell you the truth, servants are not more important than their master, and the one sent is not greater than the sender.
17 ‌ʻOku mou monūʻia ʻi hoʻomou ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo kapau te mou fai ki ai.
Now that you understand these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
18 “ʻOku ʻikai kau ʻeku lea kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē: ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻaia kuo u fili: ka koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻae tohi, ‘Ko ia ʻoku kai mā mo au, kuo hiki hono vaʻe kiate au.’
I'm not talking about all of you—I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill Scripture: ‘The one who shares my food has turned against me.’
19 Pea ko eni ʻoku ou tala ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko, koeʻuhi ʻoka hoko ia, ke mou tui ‘ko au ia.’
I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so when it does happen you will be convinced that I am who I am.
20 Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau, ʻoku ne maʻu au; pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu au, ʻoku ne maʻu ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi au.”
I tell you the truth, whoever welcomes anyone I send welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me.”
21 Pea hili ʻae lea ko ia ʻa Sisu, pea mamahi ia ʻi hono laumālie, ʻo ne fakahā, ʻo pehē, Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, “ʻE lavakiʻi au ʻe homou tokotaha.”
After he had said this, Jesus was deeply troubled, and declared: “I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me.”
22 Pea fesiofaki ʻae kau ākonga kiate kinautolu, ʻonau fifili pe ko ʻene lea kia hai.
The disciples looked at each other, wondering which of them Jesus was talking about.
23 Pea naʻe faʻaki ki he fatafata ʻo Sisu ʻene ākonga ʻe tokotaha, naʻe ʻofa ai ʻa Sisu.
The disciple whom Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table, leaning close him.
24 Ko ia naʻe kamokamo ai ʻe Saimone Pita kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke ne fehuʻi pe ko hai ia kuo ne lea ki ai.
Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one he was talking about.
25 Pea [lea ]falala ʻe ia ki he fatafata ʻo Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ko hai ia?”
So he leaned over to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Ko ia ia te u ʻatu ki ai ʻae konga mā hili ʻeku peke [ia].” Pea hili ʻene peke ʻae konga, ne ne ʻatu [ia ]kia Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ko e foha ʻo Saimone.
Jesus replied, “It's the one to whom I will give a piece of bread after I have dipped it.”
27 Pea hili ʻae peke, pea hū ʻa Sētane kiate ia. Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko ia ʻoku ke fai, fai vave.”
After dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. Once Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him. “What you're going to do, do it quickly,” Jesus told him.
28 Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he keinangaʻanga pe ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻene lea kiate ia.
No one at the table understood what Jesus meant by this.
29 He naʻe mahalo ʻae niʻihi, ko e meʻa ʻi he maʻu ʻe Siutasi ʻae kato, naʻe tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, Fakatau ʻaia ʻoku tau masiva ai ki he kātoanga; pe, koeʻuhi ke ne foaki ha meʻa ki he masiva.
Since Judas was in charge of the money some of them thought that Jesus was telling him to go and buy what was needed for the Passover festival, or to donate something to the poor.
30 Pea maʻu ʻe ia ʻae peke, ʻo ʻalu leva kituaʻā: pea kuo poʻuli.
Judas left immediately after he'd taken the piece of bread, and went out into the night.
31 Pea kuo ʻalu ia kituaʻā, pea lea ʻa Sisu, “Ko eni kuo fakaongoongolelei ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, pea ʻoku fakaongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia.
After he'd left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of man is glorified, and through him God is glorified.
32 Kapau ʻoku fakaongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia, ʻe fakaongoongolelei ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻiate ia, pea te ne fakaongoongolelei leva ia.
If God is glorified through him, then God will glorify the Son himself, and will glorify him immediately.
33 ‌ʻAe fānau ʻofeina, ʻoku toe siʻi pē ʻeku ʻiate kimoutolu. Te mou kumi au: pea hangē ko ʻeku tala ki he kakai Siu, ‘Ko e potu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa hoko ki ai;’ ʻoku pehē ni ʻeku lea kiate kimoutolu.
My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, but I'm telling you now just as I told the Jews: you cannot come where I'm going.
34 ‌ʻOku ou tuku ʻae fekau foʻou kiate kimoutolu, Koeʻuhi ke mou feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu; pea hangē ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, ke mou feʻofaʻaki foki kiate kimoutolu.
I am giving you a new command: Love one another. Love one another in the same way I have loved you.
35 ‌ʻI he meʻa ni ʻe ʻilo ai ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ko ʻeku kau ākonga ʻakimoutolu, ʻo kapau te mou feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.”
If you love one another you will prove to everyone that you are my disciples.”
36 Pea lea ʻa Saimone Pita kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ke ʻalu ki fē?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu ki ai, “Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai, ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa muimui ni ʻiate au; ka te ke muimui ʻiate au ʻamui.”
Simon Peter asked him, “Where are you going, Lord?” Jesus answered, “You can't follow me now where I'm going. You will follow me later.”
37 Pea fehuʻi ʻe Pita kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ko e hā ʻe ʻikai te u muimui ai ni kiate koe? Te u tuku hifo ʻeku moʻui koeʻuhi ko koe.”
“Lord, why can't I follow you now?” Peter asked. “I'll lay down my life for you.”
38 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Te ke tuku koā hoʻo moʻui koeʻuhi ko au? Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai ʻuʻua ʻae moa, kae tuʻo tolu haʻo fakafisi kiate au.
“Are you really ready to die for me? I tell you the truth: before the cock crows you will deny me three times,” Jesus replied.
