YN. 13
Yesu Awaosha Wanafunzi Miguu
1 tBasi, kabla ya sikukuu ya Pasaka, Yesu, hali akijua ya kuwa saa yake imefika, atakayotoka katika ulimwengu kwenda kwa Baba, naye ali amewapenda watu wake katika ulimwengu, aliwapenda upeo. 2 tHata wakati wa chakula cha jioni; naye Ibilisi amekwisha kumtia Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskariote, moyo wa kumsaliti; 3 tYesu, hali akijua ya kuwa Baba amempa vyote mikononi mwake, na ya kuwa alitoka kwa Mungu naye anakwenda kwa Mungu, 4 taliondoka chakulani; akaweka kando mavazi yake, akatwaa kitambaa, akajifunga kiunoni. 5 Kisha akatia maji katika bakuli, akaanza kuwatawadha wanafunzi miguu, na kuifuta kwa kile kitambaa alichojifunga. 6 tHivyo yuaja kwa Simoni Petro. Huyo akamwambia, Bwana! Wewe wanitawadha miguu mimi? 7 Yesu akajibu, akamwambia, Nifanyalo wewe hujui sasa; lakini utalifahamu baadaye. 8 tPetro akamwambia, Wewe hutanitawadha miguu kamwe. Yesu akamwambia, Kama nisipokutawadha, huna shirika nami. 9 Simoni Petro akamwambia, Bwana, si miguu yangu tu, hata na mikono yangu na kichwa changu pia. 10 tYesu akamwambia, Yeye aliyekwisha kuoga hana haja ila ya kutawadha miguu, bali yu safi mwili wote; nanyi mmekuwa safi, lakini si nyote.
11 tKwa maana alimjua yeye atakayemsaliti; ndiyo maana alisema, Si nyote mlio safi.
12 tBasi alipokwisha kuwatawadha miguu, na kuyatwaa mavazi yake, na kuketi tena, akawaambia, Je! Mmeelewa na hayo niliyowatendea? 13 tNinyi mwaniita, Mwalimu, na, Bwana; nanyi mwanena vema, maana ndivyo nilivyo. 14 tBasi ikiwa mimi, niliye Bwana na Mwalimu, nimewatawadha miguu, imewapasa vivyo kutawadhana miguu ninyi kwa ninyi. 15 tKwa kuwa nimewapa kielelezo; ili kama mimi nilivyowatendea, nanyi mtende vivyo. 16 tAmin, amin, nawaambia ninyi, Mtumwa si mkuu kuliko bwana wake; wala mtume si mkuu kuliko yeye aliyempeleka. 17 tMkiyajua hayo, heri ninyi mkiyatenda.
18 tSisemi habari za ninyi nyote; nawajua wale niliowachagua; lakini andiko lipate kutimizwa,
Aliyekula chakula changu
Ameniinulia kisigino chake.
19 tTangu sasa nawaambia kabla hayajatukia, ili yatakapotukia mpate kuamini ya kuwa mimi ndiye.
20 tAmin, amin, nawaambieni, Yeye ampokeaye mtu ye yote nimpelekaye, anipokea mimi; naye anipokeaye mimi; ampokea yeye aliyenipeleka.Yesu Atabiri juu ya Kusalitiwa kwake
21 t tNaye alipokwisha kusema hayo, Yesu alifadhaika rohoni, akashuhudia akisema, Amin, amin, nawaambieni, Mmoja wenu atanisaliti. 22 Wanafunzi wakatazamana, huku wakiona shaka ni nani amtajaye. 23 tNa palikuwapo mmoja wa wanafunzi wake, ameegama kifuani pa Yesu, ambaye Yesu alimpenda. 24 Basi Simoni Petro akampungia mkono, akamwambia, Uliza, ni nani amtajaye? 25 Basi yeye, hali akimwelekea Yesu kifua chake, akamwambia, Bwana, ni nani? 26 Basi Yesu akajibu, Ndiye mtu yule nitakayemtowelea tonge na kumpa. Akatowelea tonge, akalitwaa akampa Yuda, mwana wa Simoni Iskariote. 27 tNa baada ya hilo tonge Shetani alimwingia. Basi Yesu akamwambia, Uyatendayo yatende upesi. 28 Wala hakuna mtu katika wale walioketi chakulani aliyeijua sababu ya kumwambia hivyo. 29 tKwa maana wengine walidhania, kwa kuwa Yuda huchukua mfuko, ya kwamba Yesu alimwambia kama, Nunua mnavyovihitaji kwa sikukuu; au kwamba awape maskini kitu.
30 Basi huyo, akiisha kulipokea lile tonge, akatoka mara hiyo. Nako kulikuwa ni usiku.Amri Mpya
31 Basi huyo alipokwisha kutoka, Yesu alisema, Sasa ametukuzwa Mwana wa Adamu, naye Mungu ametukuzwa ndani yake. 32 tMungu naye atamtukuza ndani ya nafsi yake; naye atamtukuza mara. 33 tEnyi watoto wadogo, bado kitambo kidogo nipo pamoja nanyi; mtanitafuta; na kama vile nilivyowaambia Wayahudi ya kwamba, Mimi niendako ninyi hamwezi kuja; kadhalika sasa nawaambia ninyi. 34 tAmri mpya nawapa, Mpendane. Kama vile nilivyowapenda ninyi, nanyi mpendane vivyo hivyo.
35 Hivyo watu wote watatambua ya kuwa ninyi mmekuwa wanafunzi wangu, mkiwa na upendo ninyi kwa ninyi.Yesu Atabiri kuwa Petro Atamkana
36 t tSimoni Petro akamwambia, Bwana, unakwendapi? Yesu akamjibu, Niendako huwezi kunifuata sasa; lakini utanifuata baadaye. 37 Petro akamwambia, Bwana, kwa nini mimi nisiweze kukufuata sasa? Mimi nitautoa uhai wangu kwa ajili yako. 38 Yesu akamjibu, Je! Wewe utautoa uhai wako kwa ajili yangu? Amin, amin, nakuambia, Jimbi hatawika hata wewe utakapokuwa umenikana mara tatu.
JOHN 13
Jesus Washes the Feet //of His Disciples
1 It was before Passover, and Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and to return to the Father. He had always loved his followers in this world, and he loved them to the very end.
2 Even before the evening meal started, the devil had made Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, t decide to betray Jesus.
3 Jesus knew he had come from God and would go back to God. He also knew that the Father had given him complete power. 4 So during the meal Jesus got up, removed his outer garment, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5 He put some water into a large bowl. Then he began washing his disciples' feet and drying them with the towel he was wearing.
6 But when he came to Simon Peter, this disciple asked, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered, “You don't really know what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
8 “You will never wash my feet!” Peter replied.
“If I don't wash you,” Jesus told him, “you don't really belong to me.”
9 Peter said, “Lord, don't wash just my feet. Wash my hands and my head.”
10 Jesus answered, “People who have bathed and are clean all over need to wash just their feet. And you, my disciples, are clean, except for one of you.”
11 Jesus knew who would betray him. That is why he said, “except for one of you.”
12 t After Jesus had washed his disciples' feet and had put his outer garment back on, he sat down again.t Then he said:
Do you understand what I have done? 13 You call me your teacher and Lord, and you should, because that is who I am. 14 And if your Lord and teacher has washed your feet, you should do the same for each other. 15 I have set the example, and you should do for each other exactly what I have done for you. 16 t I tell you for certain that servants are not greater than their master, and messengers are not greater than the one who sent them.
17 You know these things, and God will bless you, if you do them.
18 t I am not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But what the Scriptures say must come true. And they say, “The man who ate with me has turned against me!” 19 I am telling you this before it all happens. Then when it does happen, you will believe who I am.t
20 t I tell you for certain that anyone who welcomes my messengers also welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.Jesus Tells //What Will Happen to Him
(Matthew 26.20-25; Mark 14.17-21; Luke 22.21-23)
21 After Jesus had said these things, he was deeply troubled and told his disciples, “I tell you for certain that one of you will betray me.”
22 They were confused about what he meant. And they just stared at each other.
23 Jesus' favorite disciple was sitting next to him at the meal, 24 and Simon motioned for this disciple to find out which one Jesus meant.
25 So the disciple leaned toward Jesus and asked, “Lord, which one of us are you talking about?”
26 Jesus answered, “I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about.”
Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.t
27 Right then Satan took control of Judas.
Jesus said, “Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do.” 28 No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant. 29 But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor.
30 Judas took the piece of bread and went out.
It was already night.The New Command
31 After Judas had gone, Jesus said:
Now the Son of Man will be given glory, and he will bring glory to God.
32 Then, after God is given glory because of him, God will bring glory to him, and God will do it very soon.
33 t My children, I will be with you for only a little while longer. Then you will look for me, but you won't find me. I tell you just as I told the people, “You cannot go where I am going.” 34 t But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you.
35 If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples.Peter's Promise
(Matthew 26.31-35; Mark 14.27-31; Luke 22.31-34)
36 Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?”
Jesus answered, “You can't go with me now, but later on you will.”
37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can't I go with you now? I would die for you!”
38 “Would you really die for me?” Jesus asked. “I tell you for certain before a rooster crows, you will say three times that you don't even know me.”
