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 time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2Zvino chirairo chakati chaitika, dhiabhorosi atoisa mumoyo maJudhasi Isikariyoti, waSimoni, kuti amutengese,
2During 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,
3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,
4akasimuka kubva pachirayiro, akabvisa nguvo, akatora mucheka akazvimonera.
4arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5Shure kwaizvozvi wakadira mvura mundiro, ndokutanga kushambidza tsoka dzevadzidzi, nekupusika nemucheka waakange akamonerwa nawo.
5Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6Naizvozvo wakasvika kuna Simoni Petro; iye ndokuti kwaari: Ishe, imwi moshambidza tsoka dzangu here?
6Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
7Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Chandinoita ini, iwe hauzivi ikozvino; asi uchaziva shure kweizvi.
7Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
8Petro akati kwaari: Hamungatongoshambidzi tsoka dzangu nekusingaperi. Jesu akamupindura akati: Kana ndisingakushambidzi, hauna mugove neni.
8Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”
9Simoni Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, kwete tsoka dzangu dzoga, asi maokowo nemusoro.
9Simon Peter said to 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 said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”
11Nekuti wakange achiziva uyo waizomutengesa; nekuda kwaizvozvi wakati: Hamuna kuchena mose.
11For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, “You 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, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
13Imwi munondidaidza kuti Mudzidzisi, uye: Ishe; uye munoreva zvakanaka, nekuti ndini iye.
13 You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
14Zvino kana ini, Ishe neMudzidzisi, ndashambidza tsoka dzenyu, imwiwo munofanira kushambidzana tsoka dzenyu.
14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15Nekuti ndakupai muenzaniso, kuti nemwi muite ini sezvandaita kwamuri.
15 For I have given you an example, that you 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.
16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
17Kana muchiziva zvinhu izvi, makaropafadzwa kana muchizviita.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18Handitauri maererano nemwi mose; ini ndinoziva vandakasarudza; asi kuti rugwaro ruzadziswe, runoti: Unodya chingwa neni wakandisimudzira chitsitsinho chake.
18 I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’ Psalm 41:9
19Kubva ikozvino ndinokuudzai zvisati zvaitika, kuti, kana zvichiitika, mugotenda kuti ndini.
19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.
20Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Unogamuchira ani nani wandinotuma, unogamuchira ini; neunogamuchira ini, unogamuchira wakandituma.
20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”
21Jesu wakati areva saizvozvi akatambudzika mumweya, akapupura akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Umwe wenyu uchanditengesa.
21When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakatarirana, vachikahadzika kuti waataura pamusoro paani.
22The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23Zvino kwakange kugere pakudya pachifuva chaJesu umwe wevadzidzi vake, Jesu waaida;
23One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast.
24naizvozvo Simoni Petro akamuninira, kubvunza kuti ndiani waanotaura pamusoro pake.
24Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
25Iye achizendamirawo pachifuva chaJesu, akati kwaari: Ishe, ndiani?
25He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26Jesu akapindura akati: Ndiye ini wandichapa chimedu kana ndaseva. Zvino aseva chimedu, akapa Judhasi Isikariyoti waSimoni.
26Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27Zvino shure kwechimedu, ipapo Satani akapinda maari. Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Zvaunoita, ita uchikurumidza.
27After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28Asi hakuna kune vakange vagere pakudya wakaziva kuti wakazvireverei kwaari.
28Now no man at the table knew why he said this to 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 money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30Naizvozvo iye akati agamuchira chimedu, akabuda pakarepo; zvino hwakange hwuri usiku.
30Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
31Naizvozvo wakati abuda, Jesu akati: Ikozvino Mwanakomana wemunhu wakudzwa, naMwari wakudzwa maari.
31When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32Kana Mwari akudzwa maari, Mwari uchamukudzawo maari pachake, zvino achamukudza pakarepo.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
33Vana vaduku, ndichinemwi chinguva chiduku. Muchanditsvaka, asi sezvandakareva kuvaJudha, kuti: Ini kwandinoenda, imwi hamugoni kuuyako, ndinorevawo kwamuri ikozvino.
33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
34Murairo mutsva ndinopa kwamuri, kuti mudanane; sezvandakakudai, kuti imwi mudananewo.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
35Pane izvi vose vachaziva kuti muri vadzidzi vangu, kana mune rudo umwe kune umwe.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
36Simoni Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, munoenda kupi? Jesu akamupindura, akati: Kwandinoenda, haungagoni kunditevera ikozvino; asi uchanditevera pashure.
36Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”
37Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, handigoni kukuteverai ikozvino nei? Ndichakuradzikirai upenyu hwangu pasi.
37Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
38Jesu akamupindura, akati: Ucharadzikira upenyu hwako ini here? Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Jongwe haringatongoriri kusvikira wandiramba katatu.
38Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.
