Yohana 18
1 Che Yesu paŵamasile kupopela, ŵajombweche kasulo ka Keduloni pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao. Pelepo paliji ni ngunda wa mwana, nombe Che Yesu ŵajinjile mwelemo pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
When Jesus had spoken these things, he went out with his disciples beyond the brook Kedron, where was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
2 Che Yuda, ajula juŵangalawiche Che Yesu, ŵapamanyilile pelepo ligongo kaŵili kaŵili Che Yesu ŵasimene ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao kweleko.
And Judas, who delivered him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often went thither with his disciples.
3 Nipele che Yuda ŵajawile ku wele ngunda wo, ŵajawile pamo ni mpingo wa ŵangondo ŵa Chiloma ni ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ŵaŵalajiswe ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo, ali ajigele ibatali ni mimuli ni yakumenyanila.
Judas, then, having received the band of soldiers and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Che Yesu, akuno achimanyililaga ichiyasimane yose, ŵajaulile ni ŵausisye, “Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?”
Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom do you seek?
5 Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti!” Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ndili une.” Che Yuda juŵangalawiche jula ŵajimi pelepo pamo ni ŵanyawo.
They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them: I am he. Judas, also, who delivered him up, was standing among them.
6 Nipele Che Yesu paŵaasalile, “Ndili une,” ŵanyawo ŵaujile panyuma ni kugwa.
Then, when he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?” Ni ŵajanjile, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti!”
Then he asked them again: Whom do you seek? They said: Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nansalile kuti ndili une. Iŵaga nkuusosa une, mwaleche ŵanyaŵa ajaule.”
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If, then, you seek me, let these go away.
9 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe gagatite, “Atati, nganinanjasa mundu jwalijose mwa ŵeŵala umwambele.”
This he said, that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken: Of those whom thou hast given me; I have lost none.
10 Che Simoni Petulo ŵakwete lipanga, nipele, ŵalisolomwele ni kwakata liwiwi lyao lya kundyo kapolo jwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu. Kapolo jo liina lyakwe che Maliko.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile che Petulo, “Mmusye lipanga lyenu mwigonelo mwakwe. Ana nkuganisya kuti nganguŵajilwa kugapata masausyo gaasachile Atati ŵangu kuti nagapate?”
Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?
12 Wele mpingo wa ŵangondo ŵa Chiloma ni jwankulu jwao pamo ni ŵakulindilila ŵa Chiyahudi ŵankamwile Che Yesu ni kuntaŵa.
Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attendants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,
13 Ŵanjigele ni kunjausya kaje ku che Anasi. Che Anasi ŵaliji akwegwao che Kayafa juŵaliji Jwambopesi Jwankulu chele chaka cho.
and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.
14 Che Kayafa ju ni jwejula juŵaasalile achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi kuti, ikuŵajilwa mundu jumo aweje kwaligongo lya ŵandu wose.
It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews, that it was profitable that one man should die for the people.
15 Che Simoni Petulo pamo ni jwakulijiganya jwine ŵakuiye Che Yesu. Jwakulijiganya jwine jo ŵamanyiche ku Jwambopesi Jwankulu, nipele ŵajinjile pamo ni Che Yesu pansana pao Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest.
16 Nambo che Petulo ŵajimi paasa, kuŵandikana ni nnango. Nipele, jwakulijiganya jwine juŵamanyiche kwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu jula ŵakopweche ni kuŵecheta nawo mwali jwakulindilila pannango, ni ŵansalile che Petulo ajinjile nkati.
But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Mwali jwakulindilila pannango jula ŵambusisye che Petulo, “Ana mmwejo nganimma jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵa mundu jo?” Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ngaŵa une!”
Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not.
18 Pakuŵa kaliji katema ka mbepo, achikapolo ni ŵakulindilila ŵakolesisye mooto ni ŵaliji nkuotanga. Che Petulo nombejo ŵajimi pamo nawo achijotelaga mooto.
And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵambusisye Che Yesu nkati ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni sooni nkati majiganyo gao.
Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
20 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Mechete yose pelanga ni ŵandu wose. Moŵa gose najiganisye mmajumba ga kupopelela ni pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, mwakusimanilana Ŵayahudi wose, ni nganimecheta chachili chose kwakulisisa.
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Ligongo chi nkumusya une? Mwausye ŵandu ŵaŵapilikene indu inaasalile. Ŵelewo akwimanyilila inaŵechete.”
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said.
22 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo jumo jwao ŵakulindilila juŵajimi pelepo ŵamputile Che Yesu lijanda achitiji, “Uli, ana yelei ni inkuti pakunjanga Jwambopesi Jwankulu?”
When he had spoken thus, one of the attendants, who was standing by, struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Do you answer the chief priest thus?
23 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Iŵaga mechete yangalumbana, nlosye changalumbana cho nambo iŵaga mechete yambone ana nkuumbutila ichichi?”
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you strike me?
24 Nipele che Anasi ŵanjigele Che Yesu ali ataŵikwe ni kunjausya ku che Kayafa Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 Nambo che Simoni Petulo ŵaliji pelepo alinkujotela mooto. Nipele ŵambusisye, “Ana mmwejo nombe nganimma jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao?” Che Petulo ŵakanile ni kuti, “Ngaŵa une!”
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.
26 Jumo jwao achikapolo ŵa Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵaliji pelepo. Jweleju ni nlongo njakwe mundu jula juŵankatile liwiwi ni che Petulo, ŵambusisye, “Ana uneji nganinammona mmwejo mungunda wa mwana pamo ni Che Yesu?”
One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile sooni, ni papopo tambala jatongwele.
Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew.
28 Kundaŵi pe ŵakulindilila ŵanjigele Che Yesu kopoka mu nyuumba ji Che Kayafa, ni kunjausya mu nyuumba ja mwenye jwa Chiloma. Nambo achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi nganajinjila nkati mwa nyuumba ja mwenye jwa Chiloma kuti aŵe ŵaswejele paujo pa Akunnungu kuti akombole kulya chakulya cha Pasaka.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s palace. It was the morning hour. And, in order that they might not be denied, but that they might eat the passover, they did not go into the governor’s palace.
29 Che Pilato ŵakopweche paasa ni kwausya, “Ana kwana magambo chi kwa mundu ju?”
Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Mundu ju ngakaŵe ni magambo ngatukannyichenawo kukwenu.”
They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you.
31 Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Ayaga, munjigale mwachinsyene, nkanlamule ni malajisyo genu.” Ŵayahudi ŵajanjile, “Uweji ngatukuŵajilwa kunlamula mundu jwalijose chiwa.”
Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;
32 Yatendekwe yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe ga Che Yesu gaŵasasile achilosyaga chachiwa chiwa chanti uli.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 Che Pilato ŵajinjile sooni mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵammilasile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ana mmwejo ni Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
Then Pilate again entered the governor’s palace, and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you the king of the Jews?
34 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana gele maloŵe go genu, pane ŵandu ŵane ansalile ngani jangu?”
Jesus answered him: Do you say this of yourself, or did others speak to you of me?
35 Che Pilato ŵajanjile, “Ana nkuganisya uneji ndili Myahudi? Ŵandu ŵenu ni achakulu ŵambopesi annyichisye mmwejo kukwangu. Ana ntesile ichichi?”
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done?
36 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Umwenye wangu nganiuŵa wa pachilambo pano. Ikaŵe umwenye wangu uli wa pachilambo pano, ŵakunguya akatesile ngondo kuti achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi anaangamule. Nambo sambano umwenye wangu nganiuŵa wa pachilambo pa.”
Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence.
37 Pelepo che Pilato ŵammusisye, “Ana mmwejo ndi Mwenye?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Mmwe nkuti uneji ndili Mwenye. Kwa ligongo lyo uneji mbagwile ni kwika pachilambo kukwasalila ŵandu usyene. Mundu jwalijose jwakuunonyela usyene akumbilikana.”
Then Pilate said to him: You are a king, then? Jesus answered; You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hears my voice.
38 Che Pilato ŵambusisye, “Usyene ni chichi?” Nipele che Pilato ŵakopweche paasa ni kwasalila Ŵayahudi, “Ngangugawona magambo gagaligose ga kunlamula mundu ju.
Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him.
39 Nambo nkwete chisyoŵelo chakuti uneji ngungopolela jwantawe jumo katema ka Pasaka. Nipele ana nkusaka nangopolele Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?
40 Pelepo ŵanyanyisye, “Ngaŵa, ngaŵa ajuju! Tukwasaka che Balaba!” Nombe che Balaba ŵaliji jwachiswamba.
They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
