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.
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 Che Yuda, ajula juŵangalawiche Che Yesu, ŵapamanyilile pelepo ligongo kaŵili kaŵili Che Yesu ŵasimene ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao kweleko.
Now Judas, who was going to betray him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there 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.
Then Judas, leading a group of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Che Yesu, akuno achimanyililaga ichiyasimane yose, ŵajaulile ni ŵausisye, “Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?”
Then Jesus, who knew all the things that were happening to him, went forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
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 of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am.” Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with the soldiers.
6 Nipele Che Yesu paŵaasalile, “Ndili une,” ŵanyawo ŵaujile panyuma ni kugwa.
So when he said to them, “I am,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?” Ni ŵajanjile, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti!”
Then again he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” Again they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nansalile kuti ndili une. Iŵaga nkuusosa une, mwaleche ŵanyaŵa ajaule.”
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am. So if you are looking for me, let these go.”
9 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe gagatite, “Atati, nganinanjasa mundu jwalijose mwa ŵeŵala umwambele.”
This was in order to fulfill the word that he said: “Of those whom you have given me, I lost no one.”
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 high priest and cut off his right ear. Now 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?”
Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword back into its sheath. Should I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
12 Wele mpingo wa ŵangondo ŵa Chiloma ni jwankulu jwao pamo ni ŵakulindilila ŵa Chiyahudi ŵankamwile Che Yesu ni kuntaŵa.
So the group of soldiers and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and tied him up.
13 Ŵanjigele ni kunjausya kaje ku che Anasi. Che Anasi ŵaliji akwegwao che Kayafa juŵaliji Jwambopesi Jwankulu chele chaka cho.
They led him first to Annas, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest 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 one who had given the advice to the Jews that it would be better that one man 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.
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 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 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 Mwali jwakulindilila pannango jula ŵambusisye che Petulo, “Ana mmwejo nganimma jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵa mundu jo?” Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ngaŵa une!”
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 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 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 Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵambusisye Che Yesu nkati ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni sooni nkati majiganyo gao.
The high priest then asked Jesus about 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 was always teaching in synagogues and in the temple where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Ligongo chi nkumusya une? Mwausye ŵandu ŵaŵapilikene indu inaasalile. Ŵelewo akwimanyilila inaŵechete.”
Why did you ask me? Ask those who have heard me about what I said. Look, these people 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?”
When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing there struck Jesus and said, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
23 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Iŵaga mechete yangalumbana, nlosye changalumbana cho nambo iŵaga mechete yambone ana nkuumbutila ichichi?”
Jesus answered him, “If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if rightly, why do you hit me?”
24 Nipele che Anasi ŵanjigele Che Yesu ali ataŵikwe ni kunjausya ku che Kayafa Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
Then Annas sent him tied up 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!”
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 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, 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 Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile sooni, ni papopo tambala jatongwele.
Peter then denied again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
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 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 Che Pilato ŵakopweche paasa ni kwausya, “Ana kwana magambo chi kwa mundu ju?”
So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30 Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Mundu ju ngakaŵe ni magambo ngatukannyichenawo kukwenu.”
They answered and said to him, “If this man was not an evildoer, we would not have given him over to you.”
31 Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Ayaga, munjigale mwachinsyene, nkanlamule ni malajisyo genu.” Ŵayahudi ŵajanjile, “Uweji ngatukuŵajilwa kunlamula mundu jwalijose chiwa.”
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 Yatendekwe yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe ga Che Yesu gaŵasasile achilosyaga chachiwa chiwa chanti uli.
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 Che Pilato ŵajinjile sooni mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵammilasile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ana mmwejo ni Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
Then Pilate entered the government headquarters again and called Jesus and he 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, “Do you speak from yourself, or did others speak to you about me?”
35 Che Pilato ŵajanjile, “Ana nkuganisya uneji ndili Myahudi? Ŵandu ŵenu ni achakulu ŵambopesi annyichisye mmwejo kukwangu. Ana ntesile ichichi?”
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 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 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 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.”
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 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?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in this man.
39 Nambo nkwete chisyoŵelo chakuti uneji ngungopolela jwantawe jumo katema ka Pasaka. Nipele ana nkusaka nangopolele Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
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 Pelepo ŵanyanyisye, “Ngaŵa, ngaŵa ajuju! Tukwasaka che Balaba!” Nombe che Balaba ŵaliji jwachiswamba.
Then they cried out again and said, “Not this man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.
