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