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 words, he went forth with his disciples across the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered with 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, his betrayer, knew the place; because Jesus often resorted 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 officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with torches and lanterns and weapons.
4 U Yesu to kpye wa asi zren'a nitu ma wawuu, ahi ko shishi na mye ba, “Bi wa nha?”
But Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith to them, Whom do ye 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 saith to them, I am he. Now Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them.
6 Ni wa a hla bawu, “Ame,” u ba kma hi ni gon, na ka rjoku meme.
As soon then as 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.”
Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye 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 have told you that I am he. If therefore ye are seeking me, let these men go.
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 saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, “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, having a sword, drew it and smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. And the servant'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 up the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father hath 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.
So the band and the captain, 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 carried him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of 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.
And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient 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 and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high-priest, and went with Jesus into the court of 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 was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the high-priest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, 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.”
Then the maid-servant that kept the door saith to Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, 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 there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and 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 high-priest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about 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 plainly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke 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 askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these 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?”
And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the high-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 what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me?
24 U Annas a ton ba ndu ba nji Yesu hi lowu ni Kayafas, kikle Prist.
Annas therefore 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.”
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou 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 high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Bitrus la kpa-tron, hihari me igba lu t'bu.
Then Peter denied again; and immediately a 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 lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might 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 saith, 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 he had not been doing evil, we would 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 yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore 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 words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die.
33 U Bilatus la ri ni mi tra gon gona, na yo Yesu na minye, “Iwuyi U Chu Yahudawa ba?
Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Yesu sa niwu, “Ahi wu u hla, ka ba ndrjori mu ba yo Me naki niwu?
Jesus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell 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 own nation and the chief priests 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 would have fought, that I should not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom 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, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to 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 saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find nothing criminal 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 should release to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I 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.
Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
