Johani 13

¹Zvino mutambo wepaseka usati wasvika, Jesu woziva kuti nguva yake yasvika, kuti abve munyika ino, aende kunaBaba, zvaakanga aida vanhu vake vaiva munyika, wakavada kusvikira pakuguma.Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

²Zvino vakati vapedza kurayira, Dhiabhorosi atoisa mumoyo maJudhasi Iskarioti, mwanakomana waSimoni, kuti amupandukire;And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;

³Jesu achiziva kuti Baba vakamupa zvinhu zvose mumavoko ake, vuye kuti wakabva kuna Mwari vuye kuti anoenda kunaMwari;Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

⁴akasimuka pakurayira, akabvisa nguvo dzake, akatora mucheka, akazvisunga chivuno.He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

⁵Zvino akadira mvura mumudziyo, akatanga kushambidza tsoka dzavadzidzi vake, akadzipisika nomucheka, waakanga akazvisunga nawo.After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶Akasvika kunaSimoni Petro, iye akati kwaari: Ishe, imi moshambidza tsoka dzangu kanhi?Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷Jesu akapindura, akati kwaari: Chandinoita hauchizivi zvino; asi uchazvinzwisisa pashure.Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

⁸Petro akati kwaari: Hamungatongoshambidzi tsoka dzangu nokusingaperi. Jesu akamupindura, akati: Kana ndisingakushambidzi, haunomugove neni.Peter 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, Dzirege kuva tsoka dzangu dzoga, asi mavoko angu nomusoro wangu vo.Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰Jesu akati kwaari: Wakashambidzwa haashaiwi chinhu asi kushamba makumbo bedzi ipapo watonatswa iye wose. Imi makanaka asi hamuzi mose.Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹Nokuti wakanga achiziva uyo waizomupandukira, saka akati: Hamuna kunaka mose.For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

¹²Zvino wakati ashambidza tsoka dzavo, akatora nguvo dzake, akagara zve, akati kwavari: Munoziva zvandakakuitirai here?So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³Munondiidza Mudzidzisi, vuye Ishe; munoreva zvakanaka, nokuti ndini iye.Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

¹⁴Zvino kana ini, Ishe noMudzidzisi, ndakashambidza tsoka dzenyu, nemi vo munofanira kushambidzana tsoka dzenyu.If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

¹⁵Ndikakuratidzai makwara kuti muite imi sezvandakakuitirai ini.For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

¹⁶Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Muranda haazi mukuru kuna She wake vuye wakatumwa Haazi mukuru kuno wakamutuma.Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷Kana muchizviziva izvi, makaropafadzwa kana muchizviita.If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

¹⁸Handirevi imi mose; ini ndinoziva avo vandakasanagura; asi kuti Rugwaro ruitike, runoti: Unodya chingwa neni, akandisimudzira chitsitsinho chake.I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁹Kubva zvino ndinokuvudzai zvisati zvaitika, kuti kana zvichiitwa, mugotenda kuti ndini.Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

²⁰Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti, kwamuri: Unogamuchira wandinotuma, unogamuchireni, nounondigamuchira ini, unogamuchira wakandituma.Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

²¹Zvino Jesu wakati areva kudaro, akamanikidzwa mumweya, akapupura, akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri, mumwe wenyu uchandipandukira.When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

²²Vadzidzi vakatarirana, vasingazivi kuti wareva ani.Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

²³Zvino mumwe wavadzidzi vake wakanga akasendamira pachifuva chaJesu, waidikanwa naJesu.Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

²⁴Simoni Petro akamuninira, akati kwaari: Tivudzei kuti ndianiko waanoreva.Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

²⁵Iye akasendama pachifuva chaJesu akati kwaari: Ishe, ndianiko?He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

²⁶Ipapo Jesu akapindura, akati: Ndiye wandichapa chimedu, kana ndachiseva. Zvino wakati aseva chimedu, akachitora, akapa Judhasi, mwanakomana waSimoni Iskarioti.Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

²⁷Iye wakati agamuchira chimedu, Satani akapinda maari. Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari: Zvaunoita, ita uchikurumidza.And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

²⁸Asi kwakanga kusinomumwe kuna vakanga vagere naye pakudya, wakaziva kuti wakareverei izvozvi kwaari.Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

²⁹Vamwe vakanga vachiti, Judhasi zvaaigara anechikwama, kuti Jesu wakati kwaari: Tenga zvatinoda pamutambo; kana kuti ape varombo chinhu.For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

³⁰Iye akati agamuchira chimedu, akabuda pakarepo; bwakanga bwuri vusiku.He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

³¹Zvino wakati abuda, Jesu akati: Zvino Mwanakomana womunhu wakudzwa, naMwari wakudzwa maari,.Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

³²kana Mwari akudzwa maari, Mwari uchamukudza ari maari, uchamukudza pakarepo.If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

³³Vana vaduku, ndichiri nemi chinguva chiduku; muchanditsvaka, asi sezvandakareva kuvaJudha, ndichiti: Pandinoenda, imi hamungavuyipo, saizvozvo zvino ndinoreva kwamuri vo.Little 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 to you.

³⁴Ndinokupai murairo mutsva, wokuti mudane; sezvandakakudai imi, nemimudane vo saizvozvo.A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

³⁵Vose vachaziva naizvozvi kuti muri vadzidzi vangu, kana munorudo pakati penyu.By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

³⁶Simoni Petro akati kwaari: Ishe, munoende piko? Jesu akapindura, akati: Kwandinoenda, haunganditeveri zvino; asi uchanditevera pashure.Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

³⁷Petro, akati kwaari: Ishe, handingakuteveriyi zvino neiko? Ndichakufirai ini.Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

³⁸Jesu akapindura, akati: uchandifira here? zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri Jongwe haringariri, usati wandiramba katatu.Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
