Jawhan 18
1 Jisuh ni hettelah a ratoum hnukkhu hoi, a hnukkâbangnaw hoi Kidron palang a raka awh teh, haw e takha thung vah a kâen awh.
After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
2 Hote hmuen koe Jisuh hoi a hnukkâbangnaw ouk a ceinae hah Bawipa kapahnawtkung Judah Isakarot ni a panue.
Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
3 Hawvah Judah ni ransahu buet touh hoi Farasinaw hoi vaihma bawinaw ni a patoun e karingkungnaw a kaw teh hmaiim hmaito, sarusarai hoi a thokhai.
So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Jisuh ni ama koe ka tho hane kawi teh be a panue dawkvah ahnimouh koe a cei teh apimaw na tawng awh telah a pacei.
Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 Ahnimouh ni Nazareth tami Jisuh atipouh awh. Jisuh ni, kai teh ahni doeh atipouh. Bawipa kapahnawtkung Judah Isakarot hai ahnimouh hoi cungtalah a kangdue.
They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
6 Kai teh ahni doeh ati navah ahnimouh teh hnuklah talai dawk koung a rawp awh.
When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
7 Apimaw na tawng awh telah bout a pacei teh, Nazareth tami Jisuh ka tawng awh telah ati awh.
He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
8 Jisuh ni kai doeh toe ka ti toung nahoehmaw, hatdawkvah kai hah na tawng awh pawiteh, ahnimanaw teh cet awh lawi naseh bout atipouh.
Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
9 Hettelah a deinae teh, Bawipa nang ni na poe e taminaw buet touh hai kahmat sak mahoeh, ati e lawk a kuep nahane doeh.
[This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
10 Hatnavah Simon Piter ni a sin e tahloi a rasa teh vaihma kacue e avaica e aranglae hnâ pak a tâsek pouh. Ahnie min teh Makhas doeh.
Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Jisuh ni tahloi hah amae tabu dawk pâseng leih. Pa ni na poe e manang ka net mahoeh maw. telah, Piter hanlah atipouh.
Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
12 Hahoi ransa bawi, ransanaw hoi Judahnaw e karingkungnaw ni Jisuh teh a man awh teh a katek awh.
Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
13 Annas koe hmaloe a ceikhai awh. Annas teh hatnae kum dawk vaihma kacue Kaiaphas e a masei lah ao.
Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
14 Kaiaphas teh Judahnaw koe, tami moikapap yueng tami buet touh a due e hoe ahawi, telah pouknae kapoekung doeh.
Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
15 Simon Piter hoi alouke a hnukkâbang buet touh teh Jisuh hnuk a kâbang roi. Hote a hnukkâbang e teh vaihma kacue hoi a kâpanue dawk Jisuh hoi cungtalah vaihma kacue e toeim thung totouh a kâen thai.
Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
16 Hatnavah Piter teh takhang e alawilah a kangdue. Hatdawkvah vaihma kacue hoi kâpanuek e tami ni takhang ka ring e napui koe a dei pouh teh Piter hah a thung lah a kâen sak.
But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
17 Takhang ka ring e napui ni Piter han, nang hai hote tami e a hnukkâbang e nahoehmaw atipouh nah, Piter ni, na hoeh bo atipouh teh a kâpapha.
The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
18 Hatnae tueng nah hroung a pâding dawkvah sannaw hoi karingkungnaw ni hmai a patawi awh teh hmai a kamben awh. Piter hai ahnimouh hoi cungtalah hmai a kamben van.
It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
19 Hatnavah vaihma kacue ni Jisuh hnukkâbangnaw kong hoi a cangkhainae a konglamnaw a kung a khei.
[While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
20 Jisuh ni, kai ni talaivan taminaw koe kamcengcalah ka dei toe, Judahnaw a kamkhuengnae sinakoknaw hoi bawkim dawkvah pou ka cangkhai. A ru lahoi banghai ka sak hoeh.
Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
21 Bangkongmaw kai na pacei awh vaw. Kai ni bangtelamaw ka cangkhai tie hah, ka thai e naw koe pacei a khe. Kai ni ka cangkhai e hai ahnimouh ni a panue atipouh.
[So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
22 Hottelah a dei navah, ateng ka kangdout e karingkung buet touh ni Jisuh a tambei teh, nang ni vaihma kacue hah telah na dei kawi maw, atipouh.
After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
23 Jisuh ni hai kaie ka lawk ka payonnae awm pawiteh na payon tie kampangkhai haw, ka payon hoehpawiteh bangdawkmaw na tambei, atipouh.
Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
24 Annas ni Bawipa teh kateknae ratham pouh laipalah vaihma kacue Kaiaphas koe a thak awh.
Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Simon Piter teh kangdue laihoi hmai a kamben na koevah tami bangpatetnaw ni vah, nang hai ahnie a hnukkâbang van e nahoehmaw telah atipouh navah, kai na hoeh bo atipouh teh a kâpapha.
As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
26 Piter ni a hnâ pak a tâsek pouh e a hui vaihma kacue e avaica ni, nang heh takha thung Jisuh hoi rei na o e na hmu atipouh.
[Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
27 Piter ni bout a kâpapha, hat nah tahma vah ahlui teh a khawng.
Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
28 Amom vah Jisuh teh Kaiaphas im hoi a ceikhai awh teh lawkcengnae im lah a hrawi awh. Ahnimouh ni ceitakhai pawi e bu a ca thai nahan amamae a bawknae phunglam patetlah thoungnae a ngai dawkvah ukkung bawi e imthung lah kâen awh hoeh.
Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
29 Hatdawkvah, Pailat bawi ni ahnimouh aonae koe a tâco teh, hat e tami ni bangmaw a yonnae a tawn teh na thokhai awh atipouh.
So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
30 Ahnimouh ni, hete tami heh yon hoehpawiteh nang koe ka thokhai awh mahoeh mue telah bout atipouh awh.
[They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
31 Pailat ni vah, Bawipa teh, namamae phung lawk patetlah lawkceng awh atipouh. Ahnimouh ni, kaimanaw ni apihai thei thainae kâ ka tawn awh hoeh atipouh awh.
Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
32 Jisuh ni amahoima bangtelamaw a due han tie a dei e kuep nahanelah doeh hettelah ao.
[The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
33 Pailat teh imthungkhu bout a kâen teh Jisuh, nang heh Judah siangpahrang katang maw atipouh.
Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 Jisuh ni, hete lawk heh na mahmawk maw na pacei. hoehpawiteh ayâ ni maw nang koe a dei, ati teh a pacei.
Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
35 Pailat bawi ni, kai hah Judah tami lah maw na pouk. Kai kut dawk nang na kapoekung teh nama e miphun Judahnaw hoi vaihma bawinaw nahoehmaw, na sakpayon e hno ao maw. atipouh.
Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
36 Jisuh ni, kaie uknaeram teh het talaivan hoi kâkuen hoeh. Kaie uknaeram teh talaivan hoi kâkuen pawiteh kai teh Judahnaw e kut dawk ka pha hoeh na han, ka taminaw ni a tuk awh han toe. Hatei, kaie ram teh het talai hoi kâkuen hoeh, atipouh
Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
37 Pailat bawi nihai, pawiteh, nang heh siangpahrang maw telah a pacei. Jisuh ni, nang ni na pacei e patetlah kai teh siangpahrang doeh. Kai teh lawkkatang kampangkhai hanlah ka khe e doeh. Hot hanelah doeh het talaivan ka tho toe. Lawkkatang hoi kâkuen e pueng ni ka lawk a ngâi awh atipouh.
Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
38 Pailat nihai, lawkkatang teh bangmaw titeh a pacei hnukkhu Judahnaw aonae koe a tâco teh, hete tami dawk a yonnae khoeroe kahmawt hoeh.
Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
39 Ceitakhai pawi nah namamae phung patetlah tami buetbuet touh ouk hlout sak. Nangmouh ni Judah siangpahrang hlout sak hanelah na ngai a maw telah a pacei.
But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
40 Ahnimouh ni bout a hram awh teh, ahni heh thei han, Barabas heh tha awh telah hram laihoi ati awh. Barabas teh dingca doeh.
They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
