Johan 18
1 Jesuh ktaiyü law päng se axüisaw he am Kidron Lawngca caye da va citkie. Acuna hnüna ngvawng veki, acun üng axüisaw he am atänga lutkie.
After Jesus spoke these words, he went out with his disciples to the other side of the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples entered.
2 Jesuh cun axüisaw he am acuna hnüna khawvei cit khawikiea kyase, cengkia Judah Iskarot naw acuna hnün cun ksingki.
Now Judas, who was going to betray him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
3 Judah ngvawng da citki. Romah yekape, ktaiyü ngvaie ja Pharisee naw ami jah tüi law Temple ngängkia khyange avang jah lawpüi se, mthikcime, meiim ja ngtukmei jah kawteikie cun acuia a jah lawpüi.
Then Judas, leading a group of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Jesuh naw a khana pha law khai naküt jah ksingei lü, va cit lü, “U nami suiki ni?” a ti.
Then Jesus, who knew all the things that were happening to him, went forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 Amimi naw, “Nazaret Jesuh,” ni ami ti. Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni” a ti. Cengkia Judah pi ami ksunga ngdüi hngaki.
They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am.” Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with the soldiers.
6 Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni” a ti ja, ami hnua ngnawn u lü mdeka kyukie.
So when he said to them, “I am,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Jesuh naw, “U nami suiki ni?” ti lü a jah kthäh betü. Amimi naw, “Nazaret Jesuh” ami ti.
Then again he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” Again they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni, ti lü ka ning jah mtheh päng; kei nami na suikia a kyak üng akce he cit u se” a ti.
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am. So if you are looking for me, let these go.”
9 (Acun cun, “Nang naw na na jah pet mat pi käh ka mkhyüh khai ni” ti lü a ngthu pyen akümnak vaia kyaki.)
This was in order to fulfill the word that he said: “Of those whom you have given me, I lost no one.”
10 Sihmon Pita naw kcim a kbahei kset lü Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha mpyaa nghnga khet da a ksawm pat. Acuna mpyaa ngming cun Malakhuha kyaki.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Jesuh naw Pita üng, “Kcim a im üng xawn bea; ka Pa naw a na peta khuikhatnak khawt hin am ka aw khai aw?” a ti.
Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword back into its sheath. Should I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
12 Acunüng, Romah yekape ja Temple ngängkia Judah khyange naw Jesuh man u lü, khitkie naw,
So the group of soldiers and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and tied him up.
13 Annaa veia ami cehpüi ma u. Anna cun acuna kum üng Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih Kaiphaha pupua kyaki.
They led him first to Annas, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Kaiphah cun, “Khyang khawhaha phäh khyang mat a thih daw bawki” ti lü, Judah ngvaie jah mthehkia khyanga kyaki.
Now Caiaphas was the one who had given the advice to the Jews that it would be better that one man die for the people.
15 Sihmon Pita ja axüisaw he üngka mat naw Jesuh läki xawi. Acuna axüisaw üngka mat cun Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih naw ksingki; Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha im ngvawng mkawt k’uma Jesuh am lutki xawi.
Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest;
16 Acunsepi Pita cun khawkpung mkawt peia ngdüiki. Acunüng axüisaw kce mat va nghlat be lü mkawt ksawh ngängki nghnumica kthäh lü Pita a luh lawpüi.
but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the female doorkeeper and he brought Peter in.
17 Mkawt ksawh ngängkia nghnumica naw Pita üng, “Nang pi ania xüisawa am na kyaki aw?” a ti. “Am ni nawng” Pita naw a ti.
Then the female servant, the doorkeeper, said to Peter, “Are you not also one of the disciples of this man?” He said, “I am not.”
18 Khawsikia kyase, mpyae ja Romah yekape naw mei tik lü ngdüi lü mei omkie. Pita pi ami hlawnga va ngdüi lü mei awmei hngaki.
Now the servants and the officers were standing there, and they had made a charcoal fire, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. Peter was also with them, standing there and warming himself.
19 Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih naw axüisaw hea mawng ja a jah mtheia mawng Jesuh üng a kthäh.
The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 Jesuh naw msang lü, “Ngthu ka pyen üng khyanga hmuh ngjaka va ka pyenki. Sinakok ja Judahea ami ngbumnak Templea ka jah mthei khawiki, khyange pi ngcun lawkie, ampyua i am pyen khawi nawng.
Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I was always teaching in synagogues and in the temple where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 “Ise na na kthäh ni? Ami veia ka ngthu pyena mawng cun ka ngthu ngjakie jah kthäha; acune naw i ka pyen ksingki he” a ti.
Why did you ask me? Ask those who have heard me about what I said. Look, these people know what I said.”
22 Acun a pyen üng a peia ngdüiki, yekap mat naw Jesuh kbei lü, “Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih ahikba na msangki aw?” a ti.
When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing there struck Jesus and said, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
23 Jesuh naw, “Ka pyen mkhye a ve üng ahin üng veki naküt üng jah mtheha. Ka pyen cangki ani üng, ise na na kbeiki ni?” a ti.
Jesus answered him, “If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if rightly, why do you hit me?”
24 Acunüng Anna naw Jesuh a ngkhihnak mahmaha Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih Kaiphah a veia a tüih.
Then Annas sent him tied up to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Sihmon Pita ngdüi lü mei om ham se, khyang kce he naw, “Nang pi ania xüisawa am na kyaki aw?” ami ti üng, “Am ni nawng,” ti lü, ngcim betüki.
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. The people then said to him, “Are you not also one of his disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha a mpya Pita naw a nghnga a ksawm pata a mjükphyüi mat naw, “Ani am ngvawnga ve niki se ka ning jah hmuh am ni mä?” a ti.
One of the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?”
27 Pita a ngcim betü ja; ainghlüi khawngki.
Peter then denied again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Khawa ngawi law üng, Jesuh Kaiphaha im üngkhyüh sangpuxanga Bawingawhnaka ami cehpüi u. Judah ngvaie cun sangpuxanga Bawingawhnaka am lut u. Lätnak Pawi buh ami einak thei vaia, ngcingcaihnak am amimät ami ve vaia phäh kyaki.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the government headquarters. It was early in the morning, and they did not enter the government headquarters so that they would not be defiled but would eat the Passover.
29 Acunüng, Pilat akpunga lut law lü, “Hina khana i nami mkatnak ve se aw?” a ti.
So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30 Amimi naw, “Hin hin khyangkaa am a ni üng na veia am lawpüi sawxat u nawng” ti lü ami msang.
They answered and said to him, “If this man was not an evildoer, we would not have given him over to you.”
31 Pilat naw, “Namimät naw cehpüi u lü, nami thuma kba cijang ua,” a ti. Judah mkhawnge naw, “Kami ngaiha u hnim vaia thum am ve” ami ti.
Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.”
32 (Acun cun a thih vaia mawng Jesuh naw a pyena mäiha akümnak law vaia kyaki.)
They said this so that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled which he had spoken to indicate by what kind of death he would die.
33 Pilat naw Bawingawhnaka lut be lü Jesuh khüki naw, “Nang Judahea sangpuxanga na kyaki aw?” ti lü a kthäh.
Then Pilate entered the government headquarters again and called Jesus and he said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34 Jesuh naw, “Hina ngthu hin namäta mlung üngka naw lut lawki aw. Am ani üng ka mawngma khyange naw ning mtheh u se na pyen aw?” ti lü a kthäh be.
Jesus answered, “Do you speak from yourself, or did others speak to you about me?”
35 Pilat naw, “Kei Judah khyanga na ngaih aw? Namäta khyang mjüe ja ktaiyü ngvaie naw ka kut üng ami na msum lawa na kyaki. Ia mkhyenak na pawh ni?” ti lü a msang.
Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and the chief priests gave you over to me. What did you do?”
36 Jesuh naw, “Ka khaw ta hina khawmdek üng am sängei; ka khaw hin hina khawmdek üng a sängei vai sü ta ka hnukläke naw Judah ngvaiea kut üngkhyüh na yung khaie sü; ka khaw hin hina khawmdeka am ni” ti lü a pyen.
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, then my servants would fight so that I would not be given over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here.”
37 Pilat naw, “Acunüng, nang sangpuxang aw?” ti se, Jesuh naw, “Ä, na pyena mäiha kei sangpuxang ni. Ka hmi lawnak ja khawmdek khana ka lawnak hin ngthungtak saksinak vaia phäha kyaki. Au pi ngthungtak üng sängeiki naküt naw ka ngthu ngaiki” a ti.
Pilate then said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this purpose I have come into the world, so that I would bear witness to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
38 Pilat naw Jesuh üng, “Ngthungtak cun i ni?” a ti. Acuna ngthu a pyen päng ja Judahea veia cit lü, “Thihnak awng vaia mkhyenak ani üng am hmu veng,
Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in this man.
39 acunsepi Lätnak Pawi k’um üng thawng kyum mat ka ning jah mhlät pet vaia thum nami taki. Acunakyase, Judahea sangpuxang hin ka ning jah mhlät pet vaia nami ngaiki aw?” a ti.
But you have the custom that I release one person to you at the Passover. So do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?”
40 Amimi naw ngpyang u lü, “Ani käh mhläta. Barabah jah mhlät peta” ami ti. (Barabah cun mawa ve lü kcim kcei bikia mpyukeia kyaki.)
Then they cried out again and said, “Not this man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.
