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 had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end.

²እራትም ሲበሉ ዲያብሎስ በስምዖን ልጅ በአስቆሮቱ በይሁዳ ልብ አሳልፎ እንዲሰጠው አሳብ ካገባ በኋላ፥

²And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, that he should deliver him up,

³ኢየሱስ አብ ሁሉን በልጁ እንደ ሰጠው ከእግዚአብሔርም እንደ ወጣ ወደ እግዚአብሔርም እንዲሄድ አውቆ፥

³[Jesus,] knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to God,

⁴ከእራት ተነሣ ልብሱንም አኖረ፥ ማበሻም ጨርቅ ወስዶ ታጠቀ፤

⁴rises from supper and lays aside his garments, and having taken a linen towel he girded himself:

⁵በኋላም በመታጠቢያው ውኃ ጨመረ፥ የደቀ መዛሙርቱንም እግር ሊያጥብና በታጠቀበትም ማበሻ ጨርቅ ሊያብስ ጀመረ።

⁵then he pours water into the washhand basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the linen towel with which he was girded.

⁶ወደ ስምዖን ጴጥሮስም መጣ፤ እርሱም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተ የእኔን እግር ታጥባለህን? አለው።

⁶He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and *he* says to him, Lord, dost thou wash *my* feet?

⁷ኢየሱስም መልሶ። እኔ የማደርገውን አንተ አሁን አታውቅም፥ በኋላ ግን ታስተውለዋለህ አለው።

⁷Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou dost not know now, but thou shalt know hereafter.

⁸ጴጥሮስም። የእኔን እግር ለዘላለም አታጥብም አለው። ኢየሱስም። ካላጠብሁህ፥ ከእኔ ጋር ዕድል የለህም ብሎ መለሰለት።

⁸Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me.

⁹ስምዖን ጴጥሮስም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እጄንና ራሴን ደግሞ እንጂ እግሬን ብቻ አይደለም አለው።

⁹Simon Peter says to 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 says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹አሳልፎ የሚሰጠውን ያውቅ ነበርና፤ ስለዚህ። ሁላችሁ ንጹሐን አይደላችሁም አለው።

¹¹For he knew him that delivered him up: on account of this he said, Ye are not all clean.

¹²እግራቸውንም አጥቦ ልብሱንም አንሥቶ ዳግመኛ ተቀመጠ፥ እንዲህም አላቸው። ያደረግሁላችሁን ታስተውላላችሁን?

¹²When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye know what I have done to you?

¹³እናንተ መምህርና ጌታ ትሉኛላችሁ፤ እንዲሁ ነኝና መልካም ትላላችሁ።

¹³Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am [so].

¹⁴እንግዲህ እኔ ጌታና መምህር ስሆን እግራችሁን ካጠብሁ፥ እናንተ ደግሞ እርስ በርሳችሁ እግራችሁን ትተጣጠቡ ዘንድ ይገባችኋል።

¹⁴If I therefore, 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, as I have done to you, ye should do also.

¹⁶እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ባሪያ ከጌታው አይበልጥም። መልእክተኛም ከላከው አይበልጥም።

¹⁶Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has 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 those whom I have chosen; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁹በሆነ ጊዜ እኔ እንደ ሆንሁ ታምኑ ዘንድ፥ ከአሁን ጀምሬ አስቀድሞ ሳይሆን እነግራችኋለሁ።

¹⁹I tell you [it] now before it happens, that when it happens, ye may believe that I am [he].

²⁰እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ማናቸውን የምልከውን የሚቀበል እኔን ይቀበላል፥ እኔንም የሚቀበል የላከኝን ይቀበላል።

²⁰Verily, verily, I say to you, He who receives whomsoever I shall send receives me; and he that receives me receives him who has sent me.

²¹ኢየሱስ ይህን ብሎ በመንፈሱ ታወከ መስክሮም። እውነት እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእናንተ አንዱ አሳልፎ ይሰጠኛል አለ።

²¹Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

²²ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ስለ ማን እንደ ተናገረ አመንትተው እርስ በርሳቸው ተያዩ።

²²The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.

²³ኢየሱስም ይወደው የነበረ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱ አንዱ በኢየሱስ ደረት ላይ ተጠጋ፤

²³Now there was at table one of his disciples in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.

²⁴ስለዚህ ስምዖን ጴጥሮስ እርሱን ጠቅሶ። ስለማን እንደ ተናገረ ንገረን አለው።

²⁴Simon Peter makes a sign therefore to him to ask who it might be of whom he spoke.

²⁵እርሱም በኢየሱስ ደረት እንዲህ ተጠግቶ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ማን ነው? አለው።

²⁵But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, Lord, who is it?

²⁶ኢየሱስም። እኔ ቍራሽ አጥቅሼ የምሰጠው እርሱ ነው ብሎ መለሰለት። ቍራሽም አጥቅሶ ለአስቆሮቱ ለስምዖን ልጅ ለይሁዳ ሰጠው።

²⁶Jesus answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote.

²⁷ቍራሽም ከተቀበለ በኋላ ያን ጊዜ ሰይጣን ገባበት። እንግዲህ ኢየሱስ። የምታደርገውን ቶሎ ብለህ አድርግ አለው።

²⁷And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly.

²⁸ነገር ግን ከተቀመጡት ስለ ምን ይህን እንዳለው ማንም አላወቀም፤

²⁸But none of those at table knew why he said this to him;

²⁹ይሁዳ ከረጢቱን የያዘ ስለ ሆነ፥ ኢየሱስ። ለበዓሉ የሚያስፈልገንን ግዛ፥ ወይም ለድሆች ምጽዋት እንዲሰጥ ያለው ለአንዳንዱ መስሎአቸው ነበርና።

²⁹for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor.

³⁰እርሱም ቍራሹን ከተቀበለ በኋላ ወዲያው ወጣ፤ ሌሊትም ነበረ።

³⁰Having therefore received the morsel, he went out immediately; and it was night.

³¹ከወጣም በኋላ ኢየሱስ እንዲ አለ። አሁን የሰው ልጅ ከበረ እግዚአብሔርም ሰለ እርሱ ከበረ፤

³¹When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, 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።

³²If God be glorified in him, God also shall glorify him in himself, and shall glorify him immediately.

³³ልጆች ሆይ፥ ገና ጥቂት ጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር ነኝ፤ ትፈልጉኛላችሁ፤ ለአይሁድም። እኔ ወደምሄድበት እናንተ ልትመጡ አይቻላችሁም እንዳልኋቸው፥ አሁን ለእናንተ ደግሞ እላችኋለሁ።

³³Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go ye cannot come, I say to you also now.

³⁴እርስ በርሳችሁ ትዋደዱ ዘንድ፥ እንደ ወደድኋችሁ እናንተ ደግሞ እርስ በርሳችሁ ትዋደዱ ዘንድ አዲስ ትእዛዝ እሰጣችኋለሁ።

³⁴A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; 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 know that ye are disciples of mine, if ye have love amongst yourselves.

³⁶ስምዖን ጴጥሮስም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ወዴት ትሄዳለህ? አለው። ኢየሱስም። ወደምሄድበት አሁን ልትከተለኝ አትችልም፥ ነገር ግን በኋላ ትከተለኛለህ ብሎ መለሰለት።

³⁶Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me after.

³⁷ጴጥሮስም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አሁን ልከተልህ አለመቻሌ ስለ ምንድር ነው? ነፍሴን ስንኳ ስለ አንተ እሰጣለሁ አለው።

³⁷Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee 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 answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice.
