Johan 18
1 Jesuh loh hekah he a thui phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek neh Kidron sok rhalvangan la cet. Teah te dum pakhat om tih a hnukbang rhoek te a khuila a kun puei.
After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--Himself and His disciples.
2 Tekah hmuen ah a hnukbang rhoek neh Jesuh a humtun uh taitu dongah amah aka voei Judas long khaw a hmuen te a ming.
Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.
3 Te dongah Judas loh caem a khuen hatah khosoihham neh Pharisee rhoek kah tueihyoeih rhoek long khaw hmaiim, hmaithoi, pumcumnah neh ha pawk uh.
So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Jesuh loh amah soah aka lo boeih te a ming dongah amih taengla cet tih, “Ulae na toem uh?” a ti nah.
Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.
5 Amah te, “Nazareth Jesuh,” a ti na uh. Amih te khaw, “Kai ni he,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amah aka voei Judas khaw amih taengah pai.
"For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.)
6 Te dongah amih te, “Kai ni,” a ti nah vaengah a hnuk la nong uh tih lai la bung uh.
As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.
7 Te dongah amih te, “Ulae na toem uh,” tila koep a dawt. Te vaengah, “Nazareth Jesuh,” a ti uh.
Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
8 Jesuh loh, “Kai ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Te dongah kai ni nan toem uh atah hekah rhoek he hlah uh lamtah nong saeh,” a ti nah.
"I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go their way."
9 Te daengah ni, “Amih te kai nan paek coeng dongah amih khuikah pakhat khaw ka hlong moenih,” tila a thui olka te soep eh.
He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."
10 Te vaengah Simon Peter loh a khueh cunghang te a yueh tih khosoihham kah sal te a boeng tih bantang hna te a hlueng pah [Sal te a ming Malkhu ni].
Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Tedae Jesuh loh Peter te, “Cunghang te capang khuila sang laeh. A pa loh kai m'paek boengloeng te ka o mahpawt nim,” a ti nah.
Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"
12 Te vaengah caem, rhalboeipa neh Judah rhoek kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh Jesuh te a tuuk uh tih a khih uh phoeiah Annas taengah lamhma la a khuen uh.
So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him.
13 Anih te te vaeng kum kah khosoihham la aka om Kaiaphas kah a masae la om.
They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
14 Te vaengah aka om Kaiaphas loh, “Hlang pakhat loh pilnam ham a duek te rhoei ngai,” tila Judah rhoek te a uen.
(It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is to your interest that one man should die for the People.")
15 Te vaengah Jesuh te Simon Peter neh hnukbang pakhat loh a vai. Tekah hnukbang te khaw khosoihham aka hmat la a om dongah Jesuh taengah khosoihham kah vongup la kun.
Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
16 Tedae Peter tah thohka ah hoei pai. Te dongah khosoihham aka hmat hnukbang pakhat te cet tih imtawt nu te a voek phoeiah Peter te a khuen.
But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in.
17 Te dongah imtawt salnu loh Peter te, “Nang khaw hekah hlang kah hnukbang khuiah na om pawt nim?” a ti nah. Anih loh, “Ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.
18 Te vaengkah aka pai sal rhoek neh tueihyoeih rhoek loh khosik la a om dongah hmai a toih tih a om uh. Peter khaw om van tih amih aka pai rhoek taengah hmai a om.
Now because it was cold the servants and the police had lighted a charcoal fire, and were standing and warming themselves; and Peter too remained with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Te vaengah khosoihham loh Jesuh te a hnukbang kawng neh a thuituennah kawng te a dawt.
So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
20 Jesuh loh, “Kai loh diklai taengah sayalh la ka thui coeng. Judah rhoek boeih a tingtun nah tunim neh bawkim ah ka thuituen taitu tih a huephael la ka thui moenih.
"As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
21 Balae tih kai nan dawt? Ka thui te aka ya amih taengah dawt. Kai loh ka thui te amih loh a ming uh lahko,” a ti nah.
Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."
22 Tedae hekah he a thui vaengah aka pai tueihyoeih pakhat loh Jesuh te kutcaihnah la a khueh tih, “Khosoihham te na voek van pueng,” a ti nah.
Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the High Priest?"
23 Jesuh loh anih te, “A thae la ka cal atah a thae te han thui. Tedae a thuem atah balae tih kai nan boh,” a ti nah.
"If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"
24 Te phoeiah Annas loh Jesuh te a khih tih khosoihham Kaiaphas taengla a thak.
So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.
25 Te vaengah aka om Simon Peter khaw pai tih hmai a om. Te dongah anih te, “Nang khaw anih hnukbang rhoek khuikah la na om pawt nim?” a ti na uh. Tedae anih te basa tih, “Ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "No, I am not."
26 Khosoihham kah sal rhoek khuikah pakhat [Peter loh a hna a hlueng pah te a huiko la om] loh, “Kai loh anih neh nang te dum ah kan hmuh moenih a?” a ti nah.
One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
27 Tedae Peter koep a basa vaengah ai pahoi khong.
Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed.
28 Te phoeiah Jesuh te Kaiaphas taeng lamloh khoboeiyung la a khuen uh. Tedae a yue aih pueng dongah amih te khoboeiyung la kun uh pawh. Te daengah ni boi uh pawt vetih yoom te a vael mong eh.
So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.
29 Te dongah Pilat te poengla cet tih amih te, “Hekah hlang soah ba lai lae na pael uh,” a ti nah.
Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation have you to bring against this man?"
30 Te vaengah anih a doo uh, “Anih loh a thae la a saii te om pawt koinih nang taengla anih kan thak uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
"If the man were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."
31 Te dongah Pilat loh amih te, “Anih te namamih loh khuen uh lamtah namamih kah olkhueng bangla laitloek uh,” a ti nah. Judah rhoek loh, “Kaimih n'ngawn sak loengloeng moenih,” a ti uh.
"Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death."
32 Te daengah ni Jesuh kah olka loh, ‘Duek ham cai tih dueknah te a phoe,’ a ti te a soep eh.
They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.
33 Te phoeiah Pilat te khoboeiyung la koep kun tih Jesuh te a khue phoeiah, “Nang he Judah manghai la na om a?” a ti nah.
Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesuh loh, “Hekah he nang loh namah lamkah nim na thui? A tloe rhoek loh nang taengah kai kawng han thui a?” a ti nah.
"Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?" replied Jesus.
35 Pilat loh, “Kai he Judah hlang la ka om ngawn pawh. Balae na saii tih na namtu neh khosoihham rhoek loh kai taengla nang n'thak?” a ti nah.
"Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
36 Jesuh loh, “Kai kah ram tah he diklai kah ram la om pawh. Kai kah ram tah he diklai kah ram la om koinih Judah rhoek te kai m'voeih pawt ham ka tueihyoeih rhoek loh a hnueih uh ni. Tedae kai kah ram te heah om pawh,” a ti nah.
"My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin."
37 Te dongah Pilat loh, “Te koinih nang manghai la na om a?” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Manghai la ka om te namah long ni na thui. Oltak phong ham kai ka thaang tih he ham ni diklai la ka pawk. Oltak kah hlang la aka om boeih loh kai ol a hnatun,” a ti nah.
"So then you are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice."
38 Pilat loh, “Oltak te ba lae?” a ti nah. Hekah he a thui phoeiah Judah rhoek taengla koep cet tih amamih te, “Anih dongah paelnaehnah ka hmuh moenih.
"What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him.
39 Tedae yoom ah nangmih taengkah pakhat ka hlah ham namamih khosing om. Te dongah Judah manghai te hlah ham nangmih na ngaih uh a?” a ti nah.
But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?"
40 Te dongah koep pang uh tih, “Anih moenih Barabbas te,” a ti uh. Te vaengah Barabbas tah dingca la om.
With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
