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.
HAVING thus spoken, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he went himself, and his disciples.
2 Che Yuda, ajula juŵangalawiche Che Yesu, ŵapamanyilile pelepo ligongo kaŵili kaŵili Che Yesu ŵasimene ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao kweleko.
Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for frequently had Jesus consorted with his disciples there.
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.
Then Judas having taken a band of soldiers, and the inferior officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and arms.
4 Che Yesu, akuno achimanyililaga ichiyasimane yose, ŵajaulile ni ŵausisye, “Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?”
Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking?
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 Nazarean. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. Then stood also Judas, who betrayed him, with these men.
6 Nipele Che Yesu paŵaasalile, “Ndili une,” ŵanyawo ŵaujile panyuma ni kugwa.
As he then spake to them, I am he, they retreated backward, and fell flat on the ground.
7 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?” Ni ŵajanjile, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti!”
Again therefore he demanded of them, Whom seek ye? Then they said, Jesus the Nazarean.
8 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nansalile kuti ndili une. Iŵaga nkuusosa une, mwaleche ŵanyaŵa ajaule.”
Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye are seeking me, permit these to go away:
9 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe gagatite, “Atati, nganinanjasa mundu jwalijose mwa ŵeŵala umwambele.”
that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, That of those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
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 having a sword, drew it, and struck a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchas.
11 Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile che Petulo, “Mmusye lipanga lyenu mwigonelo mwakwe. Ana nkuganisya kuti nganguŵajilwa kugapata masausyo gaasachile Atati ŵangu kuti nagapate?”
Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the scabbard: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Wele mpingo wa ŵangondo ŵa Chiloma ni jwankulu jwao pamo ni ŵakulindilila ŵa Chiyahudi ŵankamwile Che Yesu ni kuntaŵa.
The band therefore, and the chief captain, and the inferior officers of the Jews, seized on 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 away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year.
14 Che Kayafa ju ni jwejula juŵaasalile achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi kuti, ikuŵajilwa mundu jumo aweje kwaligongo lya ŵandu wose.
Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of 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.
Now Simon Peter had followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was acquainted with the high-priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high-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 at the door. Then that other disciple, who was acquainted with the high-priest, went out, and spoke to the porteress, and introduced Peter.
17 Mwali jwakulindilila pannango jula ŵambusisye che Petulo, “Ana mmwejo nganimma jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵa mundu jo?” Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ngaŵa une!”
Then said the damsel who kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of the disciples of this man? He saith, 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.
Now the servants and inferior officers having made a fire, for it was cold, stood and warmed themselves: and there stood Peter with them, and warmed himself.
19 Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵambusisye Che Yesu nkati ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni sooni nkati majiganyo gao.
The high-priest then questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and respecting his doctrine.
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 spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews resorted; and in secret have I spoken nothing.
21 Ligongo chi nkumusya une? Mwausye ŵandu ŵaŵapilikene indu inaasalile. Ŵelewo akwimanyilila inaŵechete.”
Why dost thou question me? ask those who have heard me, what I have spoken to them: lo, they know what I said.
22 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo jumo jwao ŵakulindilila juŵajimi pelepo ŵamputile Che Yesu lijanda achitiji, “Uli, ana yelei ni inkuti pakunjanga Jwambopesi Jwankulu?”
As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion?
23 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Iŵaga mechete yangalumbana, nlosye changalumbana cho nambo iŵaga mechete yambone ana nkuumbutila ichichi?”
Jesus replied to him, If I have spoken in an improper manner, bear witness of the evil deed: but if properly, why strikest thou me?
24 Nipele che Anasi ŵanjigele Che Yesu ali ataŵikwe ni kunjausya ku che Kayafa Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high-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!”
Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He denied it, 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 high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile sooni, ni papopo tambala jatongwele.
Then again Peter denied: and instantly 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 led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was early: and they themselves went not into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 Che Pilato ŵakopweche paasa ni kwausya, “Ana kwana magambo chi kwa mundu ju?”
Pilate then came out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Mundu ju ngakaŵe ni magambo ngatukannyichenawo kukwenu.”
They answered and said to him, If this fellow had not been a malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
31 Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Ayaga, munjigale mwachinsyene, nkanlamule ni malajisyo genu.” Ŵayahudi ŵajanjile, “Uweji ngatukuŵajilwa kunlamula mundu jwalijose chiwa.”
Pilate then said to them, Take him yourselves, and according to your own law judge him. The Jews then said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 Yatendekwe yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe ga Che Yesu gaŵasasile achilosyaga chachiwa chiwa chanti uli.
that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, intimating by what manner of death he should die.
33 Che Pilato ŵajinjile sooni mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵammilasile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ana mmwejo ni Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews?
34 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana gele maloŵe go genu, pane ŵandu ŵane ansalile ngani jangu?”
Jesus answered him, Dost thou speak this from thyself, or did others speak to thee concerning 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? Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou 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 replied, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, then would my servants have struggled hard, that I should not have been delivered up to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from 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 said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth 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 saith unto him, What is truth? And having thus spoken, he went out again unto the Jews and saith 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 ye have a custom, that I should release to you one person at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Pelepo ŵanyanyisye, “Ngaŵa, ngaŵa ajuju! Tukwasaka che Balaba!” Nombe che Balaba ŵaliji jwachiswamba.
Then again they all clamoured, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
