Joni 18
1 Jesu nakamana kwambula majwi aaya, wakainka kuli aanze abasikwiiya bakwe kuli bumwi busena mumusena wa Kkidiloni, oko kwakali chilili mwakakunjila abasikwiya bakwe.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the wadi of the Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2 Lino Judasi ooyo wakali sikuyo mwaba, alakwe wakalibwizi busenobu nkambo Jesu wakali kuswanana absikwiya bakwe nkuko.
Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3 Mpawo Judasi wakazulwida inkamu yabasilumamba abamwi bendelezi bazwa kubapayizi bapati akubaFalisi, abasizyuno, bakayinka nkukoko amalampi, azimunisyo, azilwanisyo.
Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Mpawo Jesu, iwakazi zyoonse zintu ezyo zyakali kuyochitika kulinguwe, wakaya kunembo wababuzya kuti, “Ngwani ngomulokuyanduula?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
5 Bakamusandula, “Jesu waku Nazaleta.” Jesu wakati ndamwambila kuti, “Ndime.” Judasi ooyo wakamuzya wakaliimvwi abasiliumamba.
They answered him, "Jesus the Nazorean." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Nakaamba kuli mbabo kuti, “Ndime,” bakabwedela musule bawidaansi.
When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Wakababuzya lubo, “Ngwani ngomulokuyanduula?” Lubo bakindulula bati, “Jesu waku Nazaleta.”
Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus the Nazorean."
8 Jesu wakasandula, “Ndamubuzya kuti ndime. Na kamulokuyandula ndime, amubaleke aaba beende.”
Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
9 Ezi zyakachitika kuti ijwi ndyakaamba lizuzikizigwe: “kuti kulibaabo mbwaakandipa takwe ngundakasowa pe.”
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."
10 Alimwi Sayimoni Pita, wakali akafulo, wakakasomona wagonka mulanda wamupayizi mupati wamugonka kutwi kwakuchilisyo. Lino izina lyamulanda oyu wakali Malukkasi.
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Jesu wakati kuli Pita, “Bweedezya ikafulo munkomo. Nsyelede kunywa muchinywido eecho Taata nchaakandipa mebo?”
Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup which the Father has given me?"
12 Awo inkamu yabasilumamba amupati wabo, ababelesi babaJuda, bakajata Jesu akumwaanga.
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Jesus and bound him,
13 Kutanguna bakamutola kuli Aanasi, nkambo wakali yisizyala wa Kkefasi, wakali mupayizi mupati munyokoyo.
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Lino Kkefasi wakali nguwe wakapede lulayo kubaJuda kuti nichali chibotu kuti umwi muntu afwide bantu boonse.
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Sayimoni Pita wakatobela Jesu, alimwi awumwi sikwiiya. Lino ooyu sikwiiya wakazibinkene kubapayizi bapati, aboobo wakanjila a Jesu munkuta yabapayizi bapati.
Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
16 Pesi Pita wakaliimvwi amulyango kalaanze, mpawo umwi sikwiya, wakazibinkene kubapayizi bapati, wakazwa aanze kuyowambuula abalinda amulyango, mpawo wakanjizya Pita mukati.
but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Mpawo mulanda wachikayintu, wakalikubamba amulyango, wakabuzya Pita kuti, “Tooli umwi wabaabo basikwiiya bayooyu mwalumi na, wakasikuti, “teensi ndime pe.”
Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."
18 Lino balanda abasikubeleka muwofesi bakalimvwi awo, nkabela bakali bakutilizya mulilo nkambo kwakali kutontola, bakali kuyota. Pita ambabo kayimvwi kalikuyota alakwe.
Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Mupayizi mupati wakabuzya Jesu aatala abasikwiiya bakwe anjiisyo yakwe.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
20 Jesu wakamusandula, “Ndakambuula entanganana kunyika. Choonse chiindi ndakali kuyiisya muzitumba amuzikombelo akoko baJuda nkubakali kuswanana. Taakwe pe nchindakaamba mukusisikizya.
Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jewish people come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Nkambonzi nimundibuzya? Kabuzye kuli bakandimvwa ataala azezyo nzindakaamba. Boona, aaba bantu balizizi nzindakaamba.”
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."
22 Jesu nakamana kwamba eezi, umwi wababelesi wakayimvwi wakawuma Jesu wati, “Mbubo na mboyelede kusandula mupayizi mupati?”
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"
23 Jesu wakatikuli nguwe, “kuti nkendi ndaambula bubi, paa bukamboni atala abubi, pesi kuti kakuli kabotu, unduuminayi?
Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"
24 Mpawo Aanasi wakamutola kaangidwe kuli Kkayifasi mupayizi mupati.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Lino Sayimoni Pita wakalimvwi kayoota mulilo. Bantu bakati kulinguwe, “Sena tenduwe umwi wabasikwiiya bakwe na? Wakakaka akwamba kuti, “Tensindime pe.”
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."
26 Umwi wabalanda bamupayizi mupati, wakali munyina wamwalumi ulakutwi Pita nkwakagonkede, wakati, “Tooli nduwe na ngundakabwene muchilili anguwe?”
One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
27 Mpawo Pita wakakaka lubo, mpawo mukuku wakakokolika.
Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Eelyo bakatola Jesu kuzwa kuli Kkayifasi kuya kukubetekwa. Kwakachili kuseni loko, nkabela tebakanjila pe mubbetekelo kuchitila kuti tabasofwazigwi pe pesi bakakonzye kulya pasika.
They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29 Awo Pilato wakazwa aanze waya kuli mbaboo wasikuti, “Nguuli mulandu ngumweeta ayoyu mwalumi?”
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
30 Bakasandula kabati kulinguwe, “Aanoli ooyu mwalumi tesimuchita zibi, Tetwayinomweeta kuli nduwe pe.”
They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."
31 Mpawawo Pilato wakati kulimbabo, “mumutole ndinywe, akuyomubeteka kwinda mumulawu wanu.” MaJuda bakati kulinguwe, “Tachili mumulawu pe kulindiswe kubikka kufumbwa umwi muntu kulufu.”
Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jewish leaders said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
32 Bakaamba ezi kuchitila kuti ijwi lya Jesu lizuzikizigwe eelyo ndyakaamba kutoondezya atala amusyobo walufu ndwayizofwa.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 Mpawo Pilato wakanjila mungánda yakubetekela lubo wayita Jesu wamubuzya kuti, “Nduwe Mwami waba Juda na?”
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesu wakasandula, “Ulokulyambwida na, nakuti kuli bamwi bakambula atala andime kuli nduwe?”
Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
35 Pilato wakasandula, “Nsili muJuda pe me, ndinguwe na? Bantu bako abapayizi bapati bakupeda kuli ndime. Niinzi nchiwachita?”
Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"
36 Jesu wakasndula, “Bwami bwangu tabuli bweenyika eeyi pe. Aanoli bwami bwangu bwali bwachimwi chipanzi chenyika eeyi, balanda bangu bayinokulwana kuchitila kuti nkindeka kwabwa kuba Juda. Pesi lino bwami bwangu tabuzwidi aano pe.
Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jewish leaders. But now my Kingdom is not from here."
37 Pilato wakati kulinguwe, “Uli mwami na?” Jesu wakamusandul, “wamba kuti ndimwami. Kuuli aya makanze ndakazyaligwa, akuli aya makanze ndakasika munyika, kuti ngaambe bukamboni mukasimpe. Woonse ooyo uuli mukasimpe ulaswilizya kujwi lyaangu.”
Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."
38 Pilato wakati kulinguwe, “niinzi kasimpe?” Ndakazwa kwaamba eezi, wakayinka kumaJuda wamba kuli mbabo, Takwe mulandu pe ngundajana mumwalumi ooyu.
Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jewish leaders, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
39 Pesi mulachiyanza chakuti ndiwangunune umwi muntu kuli ndinywe apasika. Aabobo mulayandana kuti ndimulekezezye mwami waba Juda?”
But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
40 Mpawo bakoompolola lubo akwamba kuti, pepe oyu mwalumi, pesi Bbalabbasi.” Lino oyu Bbalabbasi wakaali mubbi.
Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
