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.
Having said these things, Jesus went forth with His disciples beyond the Brook of Kidron, where [there] was a garden, into which He entered, Himself 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, had known the place, because Jesus assembled there with His disciples many times.
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 taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there 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?”
Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming on Him, having gone forth, 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 says to them, “I AM”; and Judas who delivered Him up was standing 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,” 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.”
Again, therefore, He questioned them, “Whom do you seek?” And 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 said to you that I AM; if, then, you seek Me, permit these to 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 that He said, “Those whom You have given to Me, I did not lose even 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 struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear—and 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?
Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father has given to Me, may 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 captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on 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 of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
14 Kayafas mba ana no ba Yahudawa mre, andi ani fi bi dun indji riri ndu kwu ni tu ba indji.
and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews that it is good for one man to 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;
And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus into the hall 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.
and Peter was standing at the door outside, therefore the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went forth, and he spoke to the doorkeeper, and he 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.”
Then the maid, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you 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.
and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
19 Kikle Prist a minye Yesu nitu almajere ma ni tsro ma me.
The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning 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 spoke freely to the world, I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret;
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 question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known what I 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?”
And He having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Thus do You answer the chief priest?”
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 spoke ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why do you strike Me?”
24 U Annas a ton ba ndu ba nji Yesu hi lowu ni Kayafas, kikle Prist.
Annas then 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 you 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 servants of the chief priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
27 Bitrus la kpa-tron, hihari me igba lu t'bu.
Again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a rooster crowed.
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 led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover;
29 U Bilatus me a rju ye ni ba, na tre, “Anitu ngyeri bi nha gu yi?
Pilate, therefore, went forth 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 He were not doing evil, we had not 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.”
Pilate, therefore, said to them, “Take Him—you—and judge Him according to your law”; the Jews, therefore, said to him, “It is not lawful to us to put anyone 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 said, 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?
Pilate, therefore, entered into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, “You are 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 from yourself? Or did others say it to you about 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 nation and the chief priests delivered You up to me; what did You do?”
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 officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
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, “Are You then a king?” Jesus answered, “You say [it], because I am a king; I have been born for this, and I have come into the world for this, that I may testify to the truth; everyone who 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, again he went forth to the Jews and says 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?”
and you have a custom that I will release to you one in the Passover; do you determine, therefore, [that] I will 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.
Therefore they all cried out again, saying, “Not this One—but Barabbas”; and Barabbas was a robber.
