1 N a, i mua ake o te hakari o te kapenga, ka mahara a Ihu kua taka tona wa e haere atu ai ia i tenei ao ki te Matua; aroha ana ia ki ona o te ao nei, arohaina ana ratou taea noatia te mutunga.

before the Passover Feast began, Jesus knew (was fully aware) that the time had come for Him to leave this world and return to the Father. And as He had loved those who were His own in the world, He loved them to the last and to the highest degree.

2 A , i te mutunga o te hapa, kua whakamaharatia noatia ake ano hoki e te rewera te ngakau o Hura Ikariote, tama a Haimona, kia tukua ia;

So during supper, Satan having already put the thought of betraying Jesus in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son,

3 A ka mahara a Ihu kua oti nga mea katoa te homai e te Matua ki ona ringa, i haere mai ia i te Atua, e hoki atu ana ki te Atua;

Jesus, knowing (fully aware) that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God,

4 K a whakatika ia i te hapa, ka whakarere i ona kakahu; ka mau ki te tauera, ka whitiki i a ia.

Got up from supper, took off His garments, and taking a towel, He fastened it around His waist.

5 M e i reira ka ringihia e ia he wai ki te peihana, a ka anga ka horoi i nga waewae o nga akonga, ka muru hoki ki te tauera i whitikiria ai ia.

Then He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

6 A , ka tae ia ki a Haimona Pita, ka mea tera ki a ia, E te Ariki, e horoi ana koe i oku waewae?

When He came to Simon Peter, said to Him, Lord, are my feet to be washed by You?

7 K a whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E kore koe e matau aianei ki taku e mea nei: otira e matau koe a mua ake nei.

Jesus said to him, You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later on.

8 K a mea a Pita ki a ia, E kore rawa koe e horoi i oku waewae. Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, Ki te kore ahau e horoi i a koe, kahore au wahi i roto i ahau.

Peter said to Him, You shall never wash my feet! Jesus answered him, Unless I wash you, you have no part with ( in) Me.

9 K a mea a Haimona Pita ki a ia, E te Ariki, aua ra ko oku waewae anake, engari ko oku ringa me toku matenga.

Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, not only my feet, but my hands and my head too!

10 K a mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te mea i te kaukau tetahi, kahore atu he aha mana, ko te horoi anake i ona waewae, e ma katoa ana hoki ia: e ma ana koutou, otira kahore katoa.

Jesus said to him, Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you are clean, but not all of you.

11 I mohio hoki ia ki te tangata e tukua ai ia; koia ia i mea ai, kahore koutou katoa i ma.

For He knew who was going to betray Him; that was the reason He said, Not all of you are clean.

12 A ka oti o ratou waewae te horoi, ka mau ia ki ona kakahu, ka noho ano, na, ka mea ki a ratou, E matau ana ranei koutou ki taku i mea nei ki a koutou?

So when He had finished washing their feet and had put on His garments and had sat down again, He said to them, Do you understand what I have done to you?

13 E karangatia ana ahau e koutou, E te Kaiwhakaako, E te Ariki: a he tika ta koutou korero; ko ahau hoki ia.

You call Me the Teacher (Master) and the Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is what I am.

14 N a kua horoia nei o koutou waewae e ahau, e to koutou Ariki, e to koutou Kaiwhakaako; me horoi ano hoki e koutou nga waewae o tetahi, o tetahi o koutou.

If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet.

15 K ua hoatu nei hoki e ahau he tauira mo koutou, kia rite ai ta koutou mahi ki taku i mea nei ki a koutou.

For I have given you this as an example, so that you should do what I have done to you.

16 H e pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore te pononga e nui ake i tona rangatira; e kore ano te tangata i tonoa e nui atu i tona kaitono.

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, A servant is not greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him.

17 K i te matau koutou ki enei mea, ka koa ki te meatia e koutou.

If you know these things, blessed and happy and to be envied are you if you practice them.

18 E hara taku i te korero mo koutou katoa: e matau ana ahau ki aku i whiriwhiri ai: otira kia rite ai te karaipiture, Ko ia e kai taro tahi nei maua kua hiki ake tona rekereke ki ahau.

I am not speaking of and I do not mean all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats My bread with Me has raised up his heel against Me.

19 N a ka korerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou i te mea kahore ano i puta noa, mo te puta rawa mai, kia whakapono ai koutou, ko ahau ia.

I tell you this now before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may be persuaded and believe that I am He.

20 H e pono, he pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, Ki te tango tetahi ki taku e tono ai, e tango ana ia i ahau; a ki te tango tetahi i ahau, e tango ana ki toku kaitono mai.

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who receives and welcomes and takes into his heart any messenger of Mine receives Me; and he who receives and welcomes and takes Me into his heart receives Him Who sent Me.

21 A , no ka korerotia e Ihu enei mea, ka pouri tona wairua, ka korero ia, ka mea, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, ma tetahi o koutou ahau e tuku.

After Jesus had said these things, He was troubled (disturbed, agitated) in spirit and said, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, one of you will deliver Me up!

22 N a ka tiriro nga akonga tetahi ki tetahi, ka pohehe ko wai ranei tana i korero ai.

The disciples kept looking at one another, puzzled as to whom He could mean.

23 N a i te whakawhirinaki ki te uma o Ihu tetahi o ana akonga, ko ta Ihu hoki i aroha ai.

One of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining on Jesus’ bosom.

24 N a ka tawhiri atu a Haimona Pita ki a ia, ka mea atu, Korerotia mai ki a matou, ko wai tana e korero nei.

So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask of whom He was speaking.

25 N a ka takoto atu ia ki te uma o Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E te Ariki, ko wai koia?

Then leaning back against Jesus’ breast, he asked Him, Lord, who is it?

26 K a whakahokia e Ihu, Ko te tangata e hoatu ai e ahau te maramara taro ki a ia, ina toua iho e haua. A, no ka toua iho e ia te maramara taro, ka hoatu ki a Hura, tama a Haimona Ikariote.

Jesus answered, It is the one to whom I am going to give this morsel (bit) of food after I have dipped it. So when He had dipped the morsel of bread, He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.

27 A muri iho te maramara taro, ka tomo a Hatana ki roto ki a ia. Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Hohoro te mea i tau e mea ai.

Then after the bit of food, Satan entered into and took possession of. Jesus said to him, What you are going to do, do more swiftly than you seem to intend and make quick work of it.

28 K ahore ia tetahi o te hunga i taua hapa i matau mo te aha tenei i korerotia nei e ia ki a ia.

But nobody reclining at the table knew why He spoke to him or what He meant by telling him this.

29 I mahara etahi, no te mea i a Hura te putea, tera a Ihu te mea ra ki a ia, Hokona nga mea ma tatou mo te hakari; kia hoatu ranei tetahi mea ma nga rawakore.

Some thought that, since Judas had the money box (the purse), Jesus was telling him, Buy what we need for the Festival, or that he should give something to the poor.

30 N a ka tangohia e ia te maramara taro, haere tonu atu ki waho: he po ano hoki.

So after receiving the bit of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.

31 N o tona rironga atu ki waho, ka mea a Ihu, Katahi te Tama a te tangata ka whakakororiatia, ka whai kororia ano te Atua i a ia.

When he had left, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified! And God has been glorified through and in Him.

32 A ka whakakororia te Atua i a ia i roto i a ia ake, ina, ka hohoro tana whakakororia i a ia.

And if God is glorified through and in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and He will glorify Him at once and not delay.

33 E nga tamariki, poto kau nei taku noho i a koutou, Tera koutou e rapu i ahau: ko taku hoki i mea ai ki nga Hurai, E kore koutou e ahei te haere ake ki te wahi e haere ai ahau; ko taku kupu ano tena ki a koutou.

little children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: you are not able to come where I am going.

34 H e ture hou taku ka hoatu nei ki a koutou, kia aroha koutou tetahi ki tetahi; kia rite ki toku aroha ki a koutou, waihoki kia aroha koutou tetahi ki tetahi.

I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.

35 M a konei ka matau ai te katoa, he akonga koutou naku, me ka aroha koutou tetahi ki tetahi.

By this shall all know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.

36 K a mea a Haimona Pita ki a ia, E te Ariki, e haere ana koe ki hea? Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, E kore koe e ahei te aru i ahau aianei ki te wahi e haere atu nei ahau; a mua ia ka aru koe i ahau.

Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where are You going? Jesus answered, You are not able to follow Me now where I am going, but you shall follow Me afterwards.

37 K a mea a Pita ki a ia, E te Ariki, he aha ahau te aru ai i a koe aianei nei ano? Ka tuku ahau i ahau kia mate, he whakaaro naku ki a koe.

Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.

38 K a whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, E tuku oti koe i a koe ki te mate, he whakaaro nau ki ahau? He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koe, E kore e tangi te tikaokao, kia toru ra ano au whakakahoretanga ki ahau.

Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.
