1Zvino mabiko epasika asati asvika, Jesu woziva kuti awa rake rasvika kuti abve munyika ino, aende kuna Baba, ada vake vari munyika, wakavada kusvikira pamagumo.
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.
2Zvino chirairo chakati chaitika, dhiabhorosi atoisa mumoyo maJudhasi Isikariyoti, waSimoni, kuti amutengese,
2And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray him,
3Jesu achiziva kuti Baba vakapa zvinhu zvose mumaoko ake, uye kuti wakabva kuna Mwari uye anoenda kuna Mwari,
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,
4akasimuka kubva pachirayiro, akabvisa nguvo, akatora mucheka akazvimonera.
4riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself.
5Shure kwaizvozvi wakadira mvura mundiro, ndokutanga kushambidza tsoka dzevadzidzi, nekupusika nemucheka waakange akamonerwa nawo.
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.
6Naizvozvo wakasvika kuna Simoni Petro; iye ndokuti kwaari: Ishe, imwi moshambidza tsoka dzangu here?
6So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Chandinoita ini, iwe hauzivi ikozvino; asi uchaziva shure kweizvi.
7Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter.
8Petro akati kwaari: Hamungatongoshambidzi tsoka dzangu nekusingaperi. Jesu akamupindura akati: Kana ndisingakushambidzi, hauna mugove neni.
8Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9Simoni Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, kwete tsoka dzangu dzoga, asi maokowo nemusoro.
9Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10Jesu akati kwaari: Wakashambidzwa haashaiwi chinhu kunze kwekushamba tsoka, asi wakachena chose; uye imwi makachena asi kwete mose.
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.
11Nekuti wakange achiziva uyo waizomutengesa; nekuda kwaizvozvi wakati: Hamuna kuchena mose.
11For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12Naizvozvo ashambidza tsoka dzavo, wakatora nguvo dzake, agarazve pakudya, akati kwavari: Munoziva zvandaita kwamuri here?
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?
13Imwi munondidaidza kuti Mudzidzisi, uye: Ishe; uye munoreva zvakanaka, nekuti ndini iye.
13Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14Zvino kana ini, Ishe neMudzidzisi, ndashambidza tsoka dzenyu, imwiwo munofanira kushambidzana tsoka dzenyu.
14If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15Nekuti ndakupai muenzaniso, kuti nemwi muite ini sezvandaita kwamuri.
15For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you.
16Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Muranda haazi mukuru kuna ishe wake, uye wakatumwa haasi mukuru kune wakamutuma.
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.
17Kana muchiziva zvinhu izvi, makaropafadzwa kana muchizviita.
17If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.
18Handitauri maererano nemwi mose; ini ndinoziva vandakasarudza; asi kuti rugwaro ruzadziswe, runoti: Unodya chingwa neni wakandisimudzira chitsitsinho chake.
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.
19Kubva ikozvino ndinokuudzai zvisati zvaitika, kuti, kana zvichiitika, mugotenda kuti ndini.
19From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he].
20Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Unogamuchira ani nani wandinotuma, unogamuchira ini; neunogamuchira ini, unogamuchira wakandituma.
20Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
21Jesu wakati areva saizvozvi akatambudzika mumweya, akapupura akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Umwe wenyu uchanditengesa.
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.
22Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakatarirana, vachikahadzika kuti waataura pamusoro paani.
22The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23Zvino kwakange kugere pakudya pachifuva chaJesu umwe wevadzidzi vake, Jesu waaida;
23There was at the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24naizvozvo Simoni Petro akamuninira, kubvunza kuti ndiani waanotaura pamusoro pake.
24Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell [us] who it is of whom he speaketh.
25Iye achizendamirawo pachifuva chaJesu, akati kwaari: Ishe, ndiani?
25He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26Jesu akapindura akati: Ndiye ini wandichapa chimedu kana ndaseva. Zvino aseva chimedu, akapa Judhasi Isikariyoti waSimoni.
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.
27Zvino shure kwechimedu, ipapo Satani akapinda maari. Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Zvaunoita, ita uchikurumidza.
27And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly.
28Asi hakuna kune vakange vagere pakudya wakaziva kuti wakazvireverei kwaari.
28Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
29Nekuti vamwe vakafunga kuti, sezvo Judhasi aiva nechikwama, Jesu wakati kwaari: Tenga zvatinoda pamutambo; kana kuti ape varombo chimwe chinhu.
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.
30Naizvozvo iye akati agamuchira chimedu, akabuda pakarepo; zvino hwakange hwuri usiku.
30He then having received the sop went out straightway: and it was night.
31Naizvozvo wakati abuda, Jesu akati: Ikozvino Mwanakomana wemunhu wakudzwa, naMwari wakudzwa maari.
31When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him;
32Kana Mwari akudzwa maari, Mwari uchamukudzawo maari pachake, zvino achamukudza pakarepo.
32and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify him.
33Vana vaduku, ndichinemwi chinguva chiduku. Muchanditsvaka, asi sezvandakareva kuvaJudha, kuti: Ini kwandinoenda, imwi hamugoni kuuyako, ndinorevawo kwamuri ikozvino.
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.
34Murairo mutsva ndinopa kwamuri, kuti mudanane; sezvandakakudai, kuti imwi mudananewo.
34A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35Pane izvi vose vachaziva kuti muri vadzidzi vangu, kana mune rudo umwe kune umwe.
35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36Simoni Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, munoenda kupi? Jesu akamupindura, akati: Kwandinoenda, haungagoni kunditevera ikozvino; asi uchanditevera pashure.
36Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow now; but thou shalt follow afterwards.
37Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, handigoni kukuteverai ikozvino nei? Ndichakuradzikirai upenyu hwangu pasi.
37Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee.
38Jesu akamupindura, akati: Ucharadzikira upenyu hwako ini here? Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Jongwe haringatongoriri kusvikira wandiramba katatu.
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.
