1Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
1ኢየሱስም ከፋሲካ በዓል በፊት፥ ከዚህ ዓለም ወደ አብ የሚሄድበት ሰዓት እንደ ደረሰ አውቆ፥ በዚህ ዓለም ያሉትን ወገኖቹን የወደዳቸውን እስከ መጨረሻ ወደዳቸው።
2And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
2እራትም ሲበሉ ዲያብሎስ በስምዖን ልጅ በአስቆሮቱ በይሁዳ ልብ አሳልፎ እንዲሰጠው አሳብ ካገባ በኋላ፥
3Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
3ኢየሱስ አብ ሁሉን በልጁ እንደ ሰጠው ከእግዚአብሔርም እንደ ወጣ ወደ እግዚአብሔርም እንዲሄድ አውቆ፥
4He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
4ከእራት ተነሣ ልብሱንም አኖረ፥ ማበሻም ጨርቅ ወስዶ ታጠቀ፤
5After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
5በኋላም በመታጠቢያው ውኃ ጨመረ፥ የደቀ መዛሙርቱንም እግር ሊያጥብና በታጠቀበትም ማበሻ ጨርቅ ሊያብስ ጀመረ።
6Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
6ወደ ስምዖን ጴጥሮስም መጣ፤ እርሱም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተ የእኔን እግር ታጥባለህን? አለው።
7Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
7ኢየሱስም መልሶ። እኔ የማደርገውን አንተ አሁን አታውቅም፥ በኋላ ግን ታስተውለዋለህ አለው።
8Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
8ጴጥሮስም። የእኔን እግር ለዘላለም አታጥብም አለው። ኢየሱስም። ካላጠብሁህ፥ ከእኔ ጋር ዕድል የለህም ብሎ መለሰለት።
9Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
9ስምዖን ጴጥሮስም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እጄንና ራሴን ደግሞ እንጂ እግሬን ብቻ አይደለም አለው።
10Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
10ኢየሱስም። የታጠበ እግሩን ከመታጠብ በቀር ሌላ አያስፈልገውም፥ ሁለንተናው ግን ንጹሕ ነው፤ እናንተም ንጹሐን ናችሁ፥ ነገር ግን ሁላችሁ አይደላችሁም አለው።
11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
11አሳልፎ የሚሰጠውን ያውቅ ነበርና፤ ስለዚህ። ሁላችሁ ንጹሐን አይደላችሁም አለው።
12So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
12እግራቸውንም አጥቦ ልብሱንም አንሥቶ ዳግመኛ ተቀመጠ፥ እንዲህም አላቸው። ያደረግሁላችሁን ታስተውላላችሁን?
13Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
13እናንተ መምህርና ጌታ ትሉኛላችሁ፤ እንዲሁ ነኝና መልካም ትላላችሁ።
14If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
14እንግዲህ እኔ ጌታና መምህር ስሆን እግራችሁን ካጠብሁ፥ እናንተ ደግሞ እርስ በርሳችሁ እግራችሁን ትተጣጠቡ ዘንድ ይገባችኋል።
15For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
15እኔ ለእናንተ እንዳደረግሁ እናንተ ደግሞ ታደርጉ ዘንድ ምሳሌ ሰጥቻችኋለሁና።
16Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
16እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ባሪያ ከጌታው አይበልጥም። መልእክተኛም ከላከው አይበልጥም።
17If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
17ይህን ብታውቁ፥ ብታደርጉትም ብፁዓን ናችሁ።
18I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
18ስለ ሁላችሁ አልናገርም፤ እኔ የመረጥኋቸውን አውቃለሁ፤ ነገር ግን መጽሐፍ። እንጀራዬን የሚበላ በእኔ ላይ ተረከዙን አነሣብኝ ያለው ይፈጸም ዘንድ ነው።
19Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
19በሆነ ጊዜ እኔ እንደ ሆንሁ ታምኑ ዘንድ፥ ከአሁን ጀምሬ አስቀድሞ ሳይሆን እነግራችኋለሁ።
20Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
20እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ማናቸውን የምልከውን የሚቀበል እኔን ይቀበላል፥ እኔንም የሚቀበል የላከኝን ይቀበላል።
21When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
21ኢየሱስ ይህን ብሎ በመንፈሱ ታወከ መስክሮም። እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእናንተ አንዱ አሳልፎ ይሰጠኛል አለ።
22Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
22ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ስለ ማን እንደ ተናገረ አመንትተው እርስ በርሳቸው ተያዩ።
23Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
23ኢየሱስም ይወደው የነበረ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ አንዱ በኢየሱስ ደረት ላይ ተጠጋ፤
24Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
24ስለዚህ ስምዖን ጴጥሮስ እርሱን ጠቅሶ። ስለማን እንደ ተናገረ ንገረን አለው።
25He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
25እርሱም በኢየሱስ ደረት እንዲህ ተጠግቶ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ማን ነው? አለው።
26Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
26ኢየሱስም። እኔ ቍራሽ አጥቅሼ የምሰጠው እርሱ ነው ብሎ መለሰለት። ቍራሽም አጥቅሶ ለአስቆሮቱ ለስምዖን ልጅ ለይሁዳ ሰጠው።
27And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
27ቍራሽም ከተቀበለ በኋላ ያን ጊዜ ሰይጣን ገባበት። እንግዲህ ኢየሱስ። የምታደርገውን ቶሎ ብለህ አድርግ አለው።
28Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
28ነገር ግን ከተቀመጡት ስለ ምን ይህን እንዳለው ማንም አላወቀም፤
29For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
29ይሁዳ ከረጢቱን የያዘ ስለ ሆነ፥ ኢየሱስ። ለበዓሉ የሚያስፈልገንን ግዛ፥ ወይም ለድሆች ምጽዋት እንዲሰጥ ያለው ለአንዳንዱ መስሎአቸው ነበርና።
30He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
30እርሱም ቍራሹን ከተቀበለ በኋላ ወዲያው ወጣ፤ ሌሊትም ነበረ።
31Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
31ከወጣም በኋላ ኢየሱስ እንዲ አለ። አሁን የሰው ልጅ ከበረ እግዚአብሔርም ሰለ እርሱ ከበረ፤
32If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
32እግዚአብሔር ስለ እርሱ የከበረ ከሆነ፥ እግዚአብሔር ደግሞ እርሱን ራሱን ያከብረዋል ወዲያውም ያከብረዋል።
33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
33ልጆች ሆይ፥ ገና ጥቂት ጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር ነኝ፤ ትፈልጉኛላችሁ፤ ለአይሁድም። እኔ ወደምሄድበት እናንተ ልትመጡ አይቻላችሁም እንዳልኋቸው፥ አሁን ለእናንተ ደግሞ እላችኋለሁ።
34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
34እርስ በርሳችሁ ትዋደዱ ዘንድ፥ እንደ ወደድኋችሁ እናንተ ደግሞ እርስ በርሳችሁ ትዋደዱ ዘንድ አዲስ ትእዛዝ እሰጣችኋለሁ።
35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
35እርስ በርሳችሁ ፍቅር ቢኖራችሁ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቴ እንደ ሆናችሁ ሰዎች ሁሉ በዚህ ያውቃሉ።
36Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
36ስምዖን ጴጥሮስም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ወዴት ትሄዳለህ? አለው። ኢየሱስም። ወደምሄድበት አሁን ልትከተለኝ አትችልም፥ ነገር ግን በኋላ ትከተለኛለህ ብሎ መለሰለት።
37Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
37ጴጥሮስም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አሁን ልከተልህ አለመቻሌ ስለ ምንድር ነው? ነፍሴን ስንኳ ስለ አንተ እሰጣለሁ አለው።
38Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
38ኢየሱስም እንዲህ ብሎ መለሰለት። ነፍስህን ስለ እኔ ትሰጣለህን? እውነት እውነት እልሃለሁ፥ ሦስት ጊዜ እስክትክደኝ ድረስ ዶሮ አይጮኽም።
