New International Version

John 13:1-38

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

1It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

8“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

9“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”

10Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” 11For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.

12When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

18“I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned13:18 Greek has lifted up his heel against me.’13:18 Psalm 41:9

19“I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am. 20Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”

21After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”

22His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. 24Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”

25Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

26Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.

So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 28But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor. 30As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. 32If God is glorified in him,13:32 Many early manuscripts do not have If God is glorified in him. God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.

33“My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.

34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

36Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”

37Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

38Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!

Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero

Yohane 13:1-38

Yesu Asambitsa Mapazi a Ophunzira Ake

1Inali pafupifupi nthawi ya phwando la Paska. Yesu anadziwa kuti nthawi yafika yoti achoke mʼdziko lapansi ndi kupita kwa Atate. Atawakonda ake amene anali mʼdziko lapansi, Iye anawaonetsa chikondi chake chonse.

2Atayamba kudya mgonero, mdierekezi anali atalowa kale mu mtima wa Yudasi Isikarioti mwana wa Simoni, kuti amupereke Yesu. 3Yesu podziwa kuti Atate anamupatsa Iye zonse mʼmanja mwake, ndi kuti Iye anachokera kwa Mulungu ndipo amabwerera kwa Mulunguyo; 4anayimirira kuchoka pa chakudya navula zovala zake natenga nsalu yopukutira nadzimanga mʼchiwuno mwake. 5Atachita izi, anathira madzi mʼbeseni ndi kuyamba kusambitsa mapazi a ophunzira ake, ndi kuwapukuta ndi chopukutira chimene anachimanga mʼchiwuno mwake.

6Atafika pa Petro, Petroyo anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye, kodi mudzandisambitsa mapazi anga?”

7Yesu anayankha kuti, “Iwe sukuzindikira tsopano chimene ndikuchita, koma udzazindikira mʼtsogolo.”

8Petro anati, “Ayi, Inu simudzandisambitsa konse mapazi anga.”

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngati Ine sindisambitsa mapazi ako, ulibe gawo mwa Ine.”

9Simoni Petro anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, osati mapazi okha komanso manja anga ndi mutu wanga womwe!”

10Yesu anayankha kuti, “Munthu amene wasamba amangofunika kusamba mapazi ake okha chifukwa thupi lake lonse ndi loyera. Ndipo inu ndinu oyera, ngakhale kuti si aliyense mwa inu.” 11Pakuti Iye anadziwa amene adzamupereka, ndipo nʼchifukwa chake anati saliyense wa inu ali woyera.

12Iye atamaliza kusambitsa mapazi awo anavala zovala zake ndi kubwerera pamalo pake. Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukuzindikira zimene ndakuchitirani inu? 13Inu mumanditcha Ine, ‘Mphunzitsi’ ndi ‘Mbuye,’ ndipo mumakhoza mukamatero, pakuti ichi ndi chimene Ine ndili. 14Tsono ngati Ine, Mbuye wanu ndi Mphunzitsi wanu, ndasambitsa mapazi anu, inunso muyenera kusambitsana mapazi anu. 15Ine ndakupatsani chitsanzo kuti muzichita monga Ine ndachitira. 16Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti wantchito saposa mbuye wake, kapena wotumidwa kuposa amene wamutuma. 17Ngati inu mudziwa zinthu zimenezi, mudzakhala odala mukamazichita.

Yesu Aneneratu za Kuperekedwa Kwake

18“Ine sindikunena za inu nonse. Ine ndikudziwa amene ndinawasankha. Koma izi zikukwaniritsa malemba: ‘Iye amene akudya nawo chakudya changa, ndiye amene anandiwukira.’

19“Ine ndikukuwuzani tsopano zisanachitike zimenezi, kuti pamene zachitika, mudzakhulupirire kuti Ine Ndine. 20Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense amene alandira amene Ine ndamutuma, alandiranso Ine. Aliyense amene alandira Ine, alandiranso amene anandituma.”

Yesu Aneneratu za Kuperekedwa Kwake

21Yesu atanena izi, anavutika kwambiri mu mzimu ndipo anachitira umboni kuti, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti mmodzi mwa inu adzandipereka.”

22Ophunzira ake anapenyetsetsana wina ndi mnzake, posadziwa kuti amanena za yani. 23Mmodzi wa ophunzira ake amene Yesu anamukonda, anali atatsamira pachifuwa chake. 24Simoni Petro anamukodola wophunzirayo ndi kuti, “Mufunseni akunena za yani.”

25Atamutsamiranso Yesuyo, anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Ambuye, kodi ndani?”

26Yesu anayankha kuti, “Iye amene ndidzamupatsa buledi amene ndanyema ndikususa ndi ameneyo.” Kenaka, atasunsa gawo la buledi, Iye anapereka kwa Yudasi Isikarioti, mwana wa Simoni. 27Nthawi yomweyo Yudasi atangodya bulediyo, Satana analowa mwa Iye.

Yesu anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Chomwe ukufuna kuchita, chita msanga.” 28Koma panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe pa chakudyapo amene anamvetsa chifukwa chimene Yesu ananenera izi kwa iye. 29Popeza Yudasi amasunga ndalama, ena amaganiza kuti Yesu amamuwuza iye kuti akagule zomwe zimafunika pa phwando, kapena kukapereka kanthu kena kake kwa osauka. 30Nthawi yomweyo Yudasi atangodya buledi, anatuluka, ndipo unali usiku.

Yesu Aneneratu kuti Petro Adzamukana

31Yudasi atatuluka, Yesu anati, “Tsopano Mwana wa Munthu walemekezedwa, ndipo mwa Iyeyu Mulungu walemekezedwanso. 32Ngati Mulungu walemekezedwa mwa Iye, Mulungu mwini adzalemekezanso Mwana, ndipo amulemekeza nthawi yomweyo.

33“Ana anga, Ine ndikhala nanu kwa nthawi yochepa chabe. Inu mudzandifunafuna Ine, ndipo monga momwe ndinawawuzira Ayuda, choncho Ine ndikukuwuzani tsopano kuti, kumene Ine ndikupita, inu simungabwereko.

34“Lamulo latsopano limene ndikukupatsani ndi lakuti: Kondanani wina ndi mnzake, monga momwe Ine ndinakonda inu. Nanunso mukondane wina ndi mnzake. 35Mukamakondana aliyense adzadziwa kuti ndinu ophunzira anga.”

36Simoni Petro anafunsa kuti, “Ambuye, kodi mukupita kuti?”

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kumene Ine ndikupita iwe sunganditsatire tsopano, koma udzanditsatira mʼtsogolo.”

37Petro anafunsa kuti, “Ambuye, nʼchifukwa chiyani ine sindingakutsatireni tsopano? Ine ndidzapereka moyo wanga chifukwa cha Inu.”

38Kenaka Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi iwe udzalolera kutaya moyo chifukwa cha Ine? Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuza kuti tambala asanalire, iwe udzandikana katatu!”
