Yohana 18
1 Ni kogon tre biyi wa Yesu tre ba, a rju ni almajere ma hi ni gran ko rima, ni kpa ngblu, ni bubu wa irju he'a u ba zu ri hi baba almajere Ma.
When Jesus had spoken these things, he went out with his disciples beyond the brook Kedron, where was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
2 Yahuda me wa ani kawu le'a a to bubu'a, nitu wa Yesu a zi hi ye ni almajere Ma.
And Judas, who delivered him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often went thither with his disciples.
3 Yahuda me, ka nji soja rji ni Firistoci bi ninkon, ni Farisawa, ni bi majelisa, u ba ye ni bubu'a, ba nji ba llu fitila ni ba tochi, ni ba kpi u ta ku.
Judas, then, having received the band of soldiers and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 U Yesu to kpye wa asi zren'a nitu ma wawuu, ahi ko shishi na mye ba, “Bi wa nha?”
Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom do you seek?
5 U ba tre, “Yesu u Nazaret.” Yesu ka hla ni bawu, “Ame yi.” Yahuda ngame wa a le niwu'a, a kri ni sojoji ba.
They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them: I am he. Judas, also, who delivered him up, was standing among them.
6 Ni wa a hla bawu, “Ame,” u ba kma hi ni gon, na ka rjoku meme.
Then, when he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Ala mye ba ngari, “Bi wa nha?” u ba hla ngari ndi, “Yesu u Nazaret.”
Then he asked them again: Whom do you seek? They said: Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Yesu hla bawu, e, Mi hla ni yiwu ndi, ahi me. Anita Ime yi bi si wa, bi ka ka biyi don ndu ba hi kpa-mba.
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If, then, you seek me, let these go away.
9 Kima ni ndu itre wa a hla ndu tsra, “Ni mi bi wa U Ne ba, ko riri me na kado na.
This he said, that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken: Of those whom thou hast given me; I have lost none.
10 Siman Bitrus me, nitu wu ahe ni inji gbeni, na k'ri fya chu ka tsen vren ko kikle Prist, na chu nvunvu ton ma kori, inde vren ko ma'a hi Malkus.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Yesu hla ni Bitrus, ka nji ngban yo ni hra ma ni bubun, Mi na so kokon wa Iti ane na?
Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?
12 U soja ba ni bi ninkon mba, ni majalisa Yahudawa, ba ka vu Yesu, na lo'wu.
Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attendants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,
13 Ni mumla ba nji hi ni Annas, nitu wa a hi iyi kayafas, wa ahi wawuyi kikle Prist ni se kima.
and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.
14 Kayafas mba ana no ba Yahudawa mre, andi ani fi bi dun indji riri ndu kwu ni tu ba indji.
It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews, that it was profitable that one man should die for the people.
15 Siman Bitrus a hu kogon Yesu, na kime almajiri ri la ti ngame. I zizan almajiri ki me a shishi to ni kikle Prist'a, na ri hi ni kikle hra u kikle Prist me mba Yesu;
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest.
16 U Bitrus a k'ri ni nyu gon tre ni nkohtra, naki me almajiri rima ti, u almajiri wa ahi shishi to ni kikle Prist a rju, na tre ni wa - wa ani gben ni gontra, na lu ri hi ni Bitrus.
But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in.
17 U vren wa wa ani gben ni gontra aminye Bitrus, “Iwu me una he ni mi almajire gu yi na?” wa tre, “Mi na he ni mi na.”
Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not.
18 U bi ti ndu ni doka rji u hekali'a ba kri ni ki, u ba mu lu ni kla-mbrji, na son kosan ma si wo gba-ji, ni nton ki bubu ni si. Bitrus k'ri ni ba na si wo gbaji'a.
And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 Kikle Prist a minye Yesu nitu almajere ma ni tsro ma me.
Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
20 Yesu ka sa niwu, e, Mi hla ni gbungblu'a ni hla tuma. Mi hla bawu nitu nitu ni majamiyan, ni hekeli ni bubu wa Yahudawa me ba ye gyen klan ki'a. Mi na hla kpyeri ni ri mbi na.
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 U ngye ri mba sa u minye me? Minye biwa ba sren ton na wo ikpe wa mi tre'a, E, ba to ikpe Mi tre.
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said.
22 Ni wa Yeswu hla biyi, u ri ni mi biya ba wa kukri niki'a a wru Yesu nda tre ndi, “U sa ni kikle Prist tre naki?”
When he had spoken thus, one of the attendants, who was standing by, struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Do you answer the chief priest thus?
23 Yesu tre niwu, Mi ta hla meme kpe to, u ka hu gon ma naki'a ta njanji Mi hla, to, u ngyeri ni sa u ka wru me?”
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you strike me?
24 U Annas a ton ba ndu ba nji Yesu hi lowu ni Kayafas, kikle Prist.
Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 U Siman Bitrus a kri si wo gbaji lu. U ndji ba ba tre niwu, “Ana iwu me u na he ni mi almajere ma na?” Wa kpa tron na tre, “A'a, mi na he mina.”
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.
26 U ri nimi gran kikle Prist, vayi iwa Bitrus a fu nvunvu ton'a, ahla, O'oo, mina to niwu ni rju na?
One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Bitrus la kpa-tron, hihari me igba lu t'bu.
Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew.
28 Nikima Kayafas ba nji Yesu hi ni kogon'a, ni buu buu mble me, baba ni titu mba me bana ni kogon'a na, andi ndu baba n ata tre na kunyre bubu ri jibi u za gran na.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s palace. It was the morning hour. And, in order that they might not be denied, but that they might eat the passover, they did not go into the governor’s palace.
29 U Bilatus me a rju ye ni ba, na tre, “Anitu ngyeri bi nha gu yi?
Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 U ba sa niwu, “Igu yi ani na ti meme kpe na, angyeri me ni sa ki ka nji wu ye tro niwu.”
They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you.
31 Bilatus hla bawu, “Mji wu hi ni tutu mbi ni hi Furewu ni bi tron mbi!” U Yahudawa ba hla niwu,” E, kina he ni gbengblen u yo tron u wu ndji ni tu mbu na.”
Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;
32 Ba hla kima ni ndu itre Yesu tsra, ni biwa a tsra bibi kwu wa ani kwu'a.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 U Bilatus la ri ni mi tra gon gona, na yo Yesu na minye, “Iwuyi U Chu Yahudawa ba?
Then Pilate again entered the governor’s palace, and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you the king of the Jews?
34 Yesu sa niwu, “Ahi wu u hla, ka ba ndrjori mu ba yo Me naki niwu?
Jesus answered him: Do you say this of yourself, or did others speak to you of me?
35 Bilatus sa niwu, “Ime mina indji u Yahuda na, ka ani he?” E, ahi ndji Me ni Pristoci bi kikle ba ba nji wu ye le ni mu. “U tie ngye?”
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done?
36 Yesu sa, “Mulki Mu ana u gbungblu yi na, Mulki ana u gbungblu yi u mri ko Mu bana tiku ni ndu bana ka Me le ni Yahudawa na, Mulki Mu ana he ni wayi na.”
Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence.
37 U Bilatus minye, “Ashe, anaki, U Chu?” Yesu sa niwu, “Anaki u hla ndi Mi Chu. Nitu ki ba ngrji Me, nitu ki mi ye ni gbungblu yi, ni ndu mi no gban ni tu njanji. Ko nha wa ani son njanji'a ani sren ton na wo lan tre Mu.”
Then Pilate said to him: You are a king, then? Jesus answered; You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hears my voice.
38 Bilatus sa niwu, “Ahi ngye njanji?” Ni kogon wa a hla naki, ala rju ni Yahudawa, na hla, “Ime de mina to guyi ni latre na.
Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him.
39 Bi to bi he ni igan ri, u idin za gran a tsra, ni chu indji ri no yi bi son mi no yi Ichu Yahudawa?”
But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?
40 U ba kpa-gro, kpan, kpan me na tre, “A'a, a wawu yi na, se Barabas.” Barabas'a me ahi indji yibi.
They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
