John 18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
Ni kogon tre biyi wa Yesu tre ba, a rju ni almajere ma hi ni gran ko rima, ni kpa ngblu, ni bubu wa irju he'a u ba zu ri hi baba almajere Ma.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Yahuda me wa ani kawu le'a a to bubu'a, nitu wa Yesu a zi hi ye ni almajere Ma.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Yahuda me, ka nji soja rji ni Firistoci bi ninkon, ni Farisawa, ni bi majelisa, u ba ye ni bubu'a, ba nji ba llu fitila ni ba tochi, ni ba kpi u ta ku.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
U Yesu to kpye wa asi zren'a nitu ma wawuu, ahi ko shishi na mye ba, “Bi wa nha?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
U ba tre, “Yesu u Nazaret.” Yesu ka hla ni bawu, “Ame yi.” Yahuda ngame wa a le niwu'a, a kri ni sojoji ba.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Ni wa a hla bawu, “Ame,” u ba kma hi ni gon, na ka rjoku meme.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Ala mye ba ngari, “Bi wa nha?” u ba hla ngari ndi, “Yesu u Nazaret.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Yesu hla bawu, e, Mi hla ni yiwu ndi, ahi me. Anita Ime yi bi si wa, bi ka ka biyi don ndu ba hi kpa-mba.
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
Kima ni ndu itre wa a hla ndu tsra, “Ni mi bi wa U Ne ba, ko riri me na kado na.
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Siman Bitrus me, nitu wu ahe ni inji gbeni, na k'ri fya chu ka tsen vren ko kikle Prist, na chu nvunvu ton ma kori, inde vren ko ma'a hi Malkus.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
Yesu hla ni Bitrus, ka nji ngban yo ni hra ma ni bubun, Mi na so kokon wa Iti ane na?
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
U soja ba ni bi ninkon mba, ni majalisa Yahudawa, ba ka vu Yesu, na lo'wu.
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Ni mumla ba nji hi ni Annas, nitu wa a hi iyi kayafas, wa ahi wawuyi kikle Prist ni se kima.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Kayafas mba ana no ba Yahudawa mre, andi ani fi bi dun indji riri ndu kwu ni tu ba indji.
15 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;
Siman Bitrus a hu kogon Yesu, na kime almajiri ri la ti ngame. I zizan almajiri ki me a shishi to ni kikle Prist'a, na ri hi ni kikle hra u kikle Prist me mba Yesu;
16 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.
U Bitrus a k'ri ni nyu gon tre ni nkohtra, naki me almajiri rima ti, u almajiri wa ahi shishi to ni kikle Prist a rju, na tre ni wa - wa ani gben ni gontra, na lu ri hi ni Bitrus.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
U vren wa wa ani gben ni gontra aminye Bitrus, “Iwu me una he ni mi almajire gu yi na?” wa tre, “Mi na he ni mi na.”
18 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.
U bi ti ndu ni doka rji u hekali'a ba kri ni ki, u ba mu lu ni kla-mbrji, na son kosan ma si wo gba-ji, ni nton ki bubu ni si. Bitrus k'ri ni ba na si wo gbaji'a.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Kikle Prist a minye Yesu nitu almajere ma ni tsro ma me.
20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
Yesu ka sa niwu, e, Mi hla ni gbungblu'a ni hla tuma. Mi hla bawu nitu nitu ni majamiyan, ni hekeli ni bubu wa Yahudawa me ba ye gyen klan ki'a. Mi na hla kpyeri ni ri mbi na.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
U ngye ri mba sa u minye me? Minye biwa ba sren ton na wo ikpe wa mi tre'a, E, ba to ikpe Mi tre.
22 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?”
Ni wa Yeswu hla biyi, u ri ni mi biya ba wa kukri niki'a a wru Yesu nda tre ndi, “U sa ni kikle Prist tre naki?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Yesu tre niwu, Mi ta hla meme kpe to, u ka hu gon ma naki'a ta njanji Mi hla, to, u ngyeri ni sa u ka wru me?”
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
U Annas a ton ba ndu ba nji Yesu hi lowu ni Kayafas, kikle Prist.
25 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.”
U Siman Bitrus a kri si wo gbaji lu. U ndji ba ba tre niwu, “Ana iwu me u na he ni mi almajere ma na?” Wa kpa tron na tre, “A'a, mi na he mina.”
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did not I see you in the garden with him?”
U ri nimi gran kikle Prist, vayi iwa Bitrus a fu nvunvu ton'a, ahla, O'oo, mina to niwu ni rju na?
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Bitrus la kpa-tron, hihari me igba lu t'bu.
28 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.
Nikima Kayafas ba nji Yesu hi ni kogon'a, ni buu buu mble me, baba ni titu mba me bana ni kogon'a na, andi ndu baba n ata tre na kunyre bubu ri jibi u za gran na.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
U Bilatus me a rju ye ni ba, na tre, “Anitu ngyeri bi nha gu yi?
30 They answered him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you.”
U ba sa niwu, “Igu yi ani na ti meme kpe na, angyeri me ni sa ki ka nji wu ye tro niwu.”
31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
Bilatus hla bawu, “Mji wu hi ni tutu mbi ni hi Furewu ni bi tron mbi!” U Yahudawa ba hla niwu,” E, kina he ni gbengblen u yo tron u wu ndji ni tu mbu na.”
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Ba hla kima ni ndu itre Yesu tsra, ni biwa a tsra bibi kwu wa ani kwu'a.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
U Bilatus la ri ni mi tra gon gona, na yo Yesu na minye, “Iwuyi U Chu Yahudawa ba?
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Yesu sa niwu, “Ahi wu u hla, ka ba ndrjori mu ba yo Me naki niwu?
35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
Bilatus sa niwu, “Ime mina indji u Yahuda na, ka ani he?” E, ahi ndji Me ni Pristoci bi kikle ba ba nji wu ye le ni mu. “U tie ngye?”
36 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 Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
Yesu sa, “Mulki Mu ana u gbungblu yi na, Mulki ana u gbungblu yi u mri ko Mu bana tiku ni ndu bana ka Me le ni Yahudawa na, Mulki Mu ana he ni wayi na.”
37 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.”
U Bilatus minye, “Ashe, anaki, U Chu?” Yesu sa niwu, “Anaki u hla ndi Mi Chu. Nitu ki ba ngrji Me, nitu ki mi ye ni gbungblu yi, ni ndu mi no gban ni tu njanji. Ko nha wa ani son njanji'a ani sren ton na wo lan tre Mu.”
38 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 basis for a charge against him.
Bilatus sa niwu, “Ahi ngye njanji?” Ni kogon wa a hla naki, ala rju ni Yahudawa, na hla, “Ime de mina to guyi ni latre na.
39 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?”
Bi to bi he ni igan ri, u idin za gran a tsra, ni chu indji ri no yi bi son mi no yi Ichu Yahudawa?”
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
U ba kpa-gro, kpan, kpan me na tre, “A'a, a wawu yi na, se Barabas.” Barabas'a me ahi indji yibi.
