John 18
1 After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
Jesuh loh hekah he a thui phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek neh Kidron sok rhalvangan la cet. Teah te dum pakhat om tih a hnukbang rhoek te a khuila a kun puei.
2 Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
Tekah hmuen ah a hnukbang rhoek neh Jesuh a humtun uh taitu dongah amah aka voei Judas long khaw a hmuen te a ming.
3 So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Te dongah Judas loh caem a khuen hatah khosoihham neh Pharisee rhoek kah tueihyoeih rhoek long khaw hmaiim, hmaithoi, pumcumnah neh ha pawk uh.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
Jesuh loh amah soah aka lo boeih te a ming dongah amih taengla cet tih, “Ulae na toem uh?” a ti nah.
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
Amah te, “Nazareth Jesuh,” a ti na uh. Amih te khaw, “Kai ni he,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amah aka voei Judas khaw amih taengah pai.
6 When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
Te dongah amih te, “Kai ni,” a ti nah vaengah a hnuk la nong uh tih lai la bung uh.
7 So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
Te dongah amih te, “Ulae na toem uh,” tila koep a dawt. Te vaengah, “Nazareth Jesuh,” a ti uh.
8 “I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
Jesuh loh, “Kai ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Te dongah kai ni nan toem uh atah hekah rhoek he hlah uh lamtah nong saeh,” a ti nah.
9 This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
Te daengah ni, “Amih te kai nan paek coeng dongah amih khuikah pakhat khaw ka hlong moenih,” tila a thui olka te soep eh.
10 Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Te vaengah Simon Peter loh a khueh cunghang te a yueh tih khosoihham kah sal te a boeng tih bantang hna te a hlueng pah [Sal te a ming Malkhu ni].
11 “Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
Tedae Jesuh loh Peter te, “Cunghang te capang khuila sang laeh. A pa loh kai m'paek boengloeng te ka o mahpawt nim,” a ti nah. Annas Taengla a Khuen uh
12 Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
Te vaengah caem, rhalboeipa neh Judah rhoek kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh Jesuh te a tuuk uh tih a khih uh phoeiah Annas taengah lamhma la a khuen uh.
13 They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
Anih te te vaeng kum kah khosoihham la aka om Kaiaphas kah a masae la om.
14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.
Te vaengah aka om Kaiaphas loh, “Hlang pakhat loh pilnam ham a duek te rhoei ngai,” tila Judah rhoek te a uen.
15 Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
Te vaengah Jesuh te Simon Peter neh hnukbang pakhat loh a vai. Tekah hnukbang te khaw khosoihham aka hmat la a om dongah Jesuh taengah khosoihham kah vongup la kun.
16 But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
Tedae Peter tah thohka ah hoei pai. Te dongah khosoihham aka hmat hnukbang pakhat te cet tih imtawt nu te a voek phoeiah Peter te a khuen.
17 At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.
Te dongah imtawt salnu loh Peter te, “Nang khaw hekah hlang kah hnukbang khuiah na om pawt nim?” a ti nah. Anih loh, “Ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
18 Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.
Te vaengkah aka pai sal rhoek neh tueihyoeih rhoek loh khosik la a om dongah hmai a toih tih a om uh. Peter khaw om van tih amih aka pai rhoek taengah hmai a om.
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
Te vaengah khosoihham loh Jesuh te a hnukbang kawng neh a thuituennah kawng te a dawt.
20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
Jesuh loh, “Kai loh diklai taengah sayalh la ka thui coeng. Judah rhoek boeih a tingtun nah tunim neh bawkim ah ka thuituen taitu tih a huephael la ka thui moenih.
21 Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
Balae tih kai nan dawt? Ka thui te aka ya amih taengah dawt. Kai loh ka thui te amih loh a ming uh lahko,” a ti nah.
22 When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”
Tedae hekah he a thui vaengah aka pai tueihyoeih pakhat loh Jesuh te kutcaihnah la a khueh tih, “Khosoihham te na voek van pueng,” a ti nah.
23 Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
Jesuh loh anih te, “A thae la ka cal atah a thae te han thui. Tedae a thuem atah balae tih kai nan boh,” a ti nah.
24 Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
Te phoeiah Annas loh Jesuh te a khih tih khosoihham Kaiaphas taengla a thak.
25 Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
Te vaengah aka om Simon Peter khaw pai tih hmai a om. Te dongah anih te, “Nang khaw anih hnukbang rhoek khuikah la na om pawt nim?” a ti na uh. Tedae anih te basa tih, “Ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”
Khosoihham kah sal rhoek khuikah pakhat [Peter loh a hna a hlueng pah te a huiko la om] loh, “Kai loh anih neh nang te dum ah kan hmuh moenih a?” a ti nah.
27 Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Tedae Peter koep a basa vaengah ai pahoi khong.
28 Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
Te phoeiah Jesuh te Kaiaphas taeng lamloh khoboeiyung la a khuen uh. Tedae a yue aih pueng dongah amih te khoboeiyung la kun uh pawh. Te daengah ni boi uh pawt vetih yoom te a vael mong eh.
29 So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
Te dongah Pilat te poengla cet tih amih te, “Hekah hlang soah ba lai lae na pael uh,” a ti nah.
30 “If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
Te vaengah anih a doo uh, “Anih loh a thae la a saii te om pawt koinih nang taengla anih kan thak uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
31 “You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
Te dongah Pilat loh amih te, “Anih te namamih loh khuen uh lamtah namamih kah olkhueng bangla laitloek uh,” a ti nah. Judah rhoek loh, “Kaimih n'ngawn sak loengloeng moenih,” a ti uh.
32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
Te daengah ni Jesuh kah olka loh, ‘Duek ham cai tih dueknah te a phoe,’ a ti te a soep eh.
33 Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Te phoeiah Pilat te khoboeiyung la koep kun tih Jesuh te a khue phoeiah, “Nang he Judah manghai la na om a?” a ti nah.
34 “Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”
Jesuh loh, “Hekah he nang loh namah lamkah nim na thui? A tloe rhoek loh nang taengah kai kawng han thui a?” a ti nah.
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
Pilat loh, “Kai he Judah hlang la ka om ngawn pawh. Balae na saii tih na namtu neh khosoihham rhoek loh kai taengla nang n'thak?” a ti nah.
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”
Jesuh loh, “Kai kah ram tah he diklai kah ram la om pawh. Kai kah ram tah he diklai kah ram la om koinih Judah rhoek te kai m'voeih pawt ham ka tueihyoeih rhoek loh a hnueih uh ni. Tedae kai kah ram te heah om pawh,” a ti nah.
37 “Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”
Te dongah Pilat loh, “Te koinih nang manghai la na om a?” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Manghai la ka om te namah long ni na thui. Oltak phong ham kai ka thaang tih he ham ni diklai la ka pawk. Oltak kah hlang la aka om boeih loh kai ol a hnatun,” a ti nah.
38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.
Pilat loh, “Oltak te ba lae?” a ti nah. Hekah he a thui phoeiah Judah rhoek taengla koep cet tih amamih te, “Anih dongah paelnaehnah ka hmuh moenih.
39 But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
Tedae yoom ah nangmih taengkah pakhat ka hlah ham namamih khosing om. Te dongah Judah manghai te hlah ham nangmih na ngaih uh a?” a ti nah.
40 “Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
Te dongah koep pang uh tih, “Anih moenih Barabbas te,” a ti uh. Te vaengah Barabbas tah dingca la om.
