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.
Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.
2 Yahuda me wa ani kawu le'a a to bubu'a, nitu wa Yesu a zi hi ye ni almajere Ma.
And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company 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 therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 U Yesu to kpye wa asi zren'a nitu ma wawuu, ahi ko shishi na mye ba, “Bi wa nha?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
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 Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
6 Ni wa a hla bawu, “Ame,” u ba kma hi ni gon, na ka rjoku meme.
When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.
7 Ala mye ba ngari, “Bi wa nha?” u ba hla ngari ndi, “Yesu u Nazaret.”
He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
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 told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye 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.
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to] those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
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.
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.
11 Yesu hla ni Bitrus, ka nji ngban yo ni hra ma ni bubun, Mi na so kokon wa Iti ane na?
Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12 U soja ba ni bi ninkon mba, ni majalisa Yahudawa, ba ka vu Yesu, na lo'wu.
The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers 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 they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Kayafas mba ana no ba Yahudawa mre, andi ani fi bi dun indji riri ndu kwu ni tu ba indji.
But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish 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;
Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high 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 at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.
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.”
The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, 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.
But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.
19 Kikle Prist a minye Yesu nitu almajere ma ni tsro ma me.
The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.
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 spoke openly to the world; I taught always in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all 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 demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken 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?”
But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high 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, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 U Annas a ton ba ndu ba nji Yesu hi lowu ni Kayafas, kikle Prist.
Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high 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.”
But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also 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 bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Bitrus la kpa-tron, hihari me igba lu t'bu.
Peter denied therefore 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.
They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.
29 U Bilatus me a rju ye ni ba, na tre, “Anitu ngyeri bi nha gu yi?
Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye 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 evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
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.”
Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to 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 what death he should die.
33 U Bilatus la ri ni mi tra gon gona, na yo Yesu na minye, “Iwuyi U Chu Yahudawa ba?
Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art 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], Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning 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? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou 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, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from 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.”
Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest [it], that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness 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 says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever 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 ye have a custom that I release [some] one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto 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 cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
