< John 18 >

1 After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
Ze yakilaa uYesu kuligitya imakani aya, ai uhegile ni amanyisigwa akwe kulongola ku ng'wapo nua kidron, naize ikoli inzega, naize ung'wenso ni amanyisigwa akwe akingila mukati akwe.
2 Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
Itungili uyo uYuda, nai walowaa kumuhulyaa, nu ng'wenso ai ulingile nkika nanso, kuiti uYesu ai watulaa wilongolaa inkika iyi nkua kitungaa aze ukoli ni amanyisigwa akwe.
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.
Nu ng'wenso uYuda, ze yakilaa kutula walijaa idale ni la asikali ni a ofisa puma ku akulu a akuhani, akapembya aze akete ni muli, tochi ni yigi.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
Nu ng'wenso uYesu, iti aze uilgile kila ikintu nai katula kikitung'wa kung'wa akwe, akapumila ntongeela nu kuakolya, “Ingi nyenyu ni mukumuduma?”
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
Nienso aka musukiilya, “Yesu Munazareti.” Nu ng'wenso uYuda nai umugumaniiye, ai watulaa wimikile palung'wi ni awo i asikali.
6 When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
Ku lulo nai waatambuila, “Unene ng'wenso” ai asukile kinyuma nu kugwa pihi.
7 So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
Hangi aka akolya, “Ingi nyenyu ni mukumuduma? Ni enso akamusukiilya hangi “Yessu munazareti.”
8 “I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
uYesu aka asukiilya, “Nakondyaa kumuila kina Unene ng'wenso; ku lulo anga ize mukunduma nene, aleki awa i auya alongole.”
9 This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
Aya ai atulaa iti lukani ulo lukaminkiile; apo nai uligitilye; “Mu awo nai ununkiiye, shanga numulimiiye ga nung'wi.”
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.
Uugwa uSimioni Petro, naiwatulaa ni mpanga, akamipyagula nu kumutema kutyi nua kigoha umunya milimo nuang'wa Kuhani nu mukulu. Ni lina nilakwe u munya milimo nuanso ai latulaa Malko.
11 “Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
uYesu akamutambuila uPetro, “Susha i mpanga ako mu hala akwe. Ku niki ndeke kuking'wela i kikombe iko nuninkiiye uTata?”
12 Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
Uugwa idale ilo nila asikali ni ajemedari, ni anyamilimo a Ayahudi, ai amuambile uYesu nu kumutunga.
13 They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
Nienso akamutonga hanza kupikiila kung'wa Anasi, ku iti ung'wenso ai watulaa mukwingwa nuang'wa Kayafa, naiza yuyo ai watulaa Kuhani nu mukulu ku ng'waka nuanso.
14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.
Itungili uKayafa yuyo ai watulaa uinkiiye isigo i Ayahudi nila kina utakiwe muntu ung'wi washe ku noko a antu.
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.
uSimioni Petro ai umutyatile uYesu, ni u umu manyisigwa nu muya. Nu munyisigwa uyu ai watulaa umanyikile kung'wa Kuhani nu mukulu, nu ng'wenso akingila palung'wi nuYesu mi itando nilang'wa Kuhani nu mukulu;
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.
kuiti uPetro ai watulaa wimikile kunzi a mumpita. Uugwa uyo umu manyisigwa nai watulaa umanyikile kung'wa Kuhani nu mukulu, ai upumile kunzi akalongola kitambuila nu musungu uyu munyamilimo nai watulaa ukusunja u mumpita nu kumingilya uPetro mukati.
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.
Uugwa mutugwa uyo nai watulaa ukusunja u mumpta, akamutambuila uPetro, “Itii uewe shanga wi ung'wi nua atyatiili a muntu uyu?'” Nung'wenso akasukiilya, “Unene shanga.”
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.
Ni awo i anyamilimo ni akulu ai atulaa imikile ikianza nikapa ng'wanso; akota moto ku ndogoelyo, ai ukoli ulyuuku, ni iti ai atulaa akota moto iti alije ilugute, Nu ng'wenso uPetro ai watulaa ni enso, ukota moto aze wimikile.
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
Kuhani nu mukulu akamukolya uYesu migulya a amanyisigwa akwe nu umanyisigwa nuakwe.
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.
uYesu akamusukiilya, “Nuutambuie kihenga u unkumbigulu; Unene ai manyisilye nkua ku nkua mu matekeelo ni itekeelo ni ikulu kianza naiza i Ayahudi ilingiila. Nunene shanga ai ndigitilye kihi mu kinkunku.
21 Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
Ku niki ai munkoiye? Akolyi nai antegeeye migulya a iko nai ndigitilye. iAntu awa alingile imkani ayo nai nimaligitilye.
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?”
uYesu nai wakondya kuligitya nanso, ung'wi nua akulu nai watulaa wimikile akamukua uYesu ku mukono nuakwe ni uugwa akaligitya,
23 Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
“Itii, uu nutakiwe kumusukiilya umukulu?” Nu ng'wenso uYesu akamusukiilya, “Anga ize ndigitilye ikani lihi ibibi uugwa utule wimukuiili ku nsoko a ubii, ni anga ize numusukiiye iziza ku niki ukunkua?
24 Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
Uugwa uAnasi nai wakamutwala uYesu kung'wa Kayafa kuhani nu mukulu aze utungilwe.
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.”
Itungili uSimioni Petro ai watulaa wimikile ukipupya iluguti u mukola. Ga ni iti antu awo akamutambuila, “Itii, ga nu ewe shanga ung'wi nua amanyisigwa akwe?” Akahita azeligitya, “Unene shanga.”
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?”
Ung'wi nua anyamilimo ang'wa Kuhani nu mukulu, Naiza ai watulaa muluna wang'wa uyo u mugoha naiza uPetro umutemile u kutyu, ai uligitilye, “Itii, shanga u ewe naza nukihengile uko ku nzega?'
27 Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
uPetro akahita hangi, ni nkua i nsamba ligugu ika kunkula.
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.
Uugwa akamuhola uYesu puma kung'wa Kayafa kupikiila mu Praitorio. Ai yatulaa dau mania mbwa. Enso akola shanga ai ingiie ilo iPraitorio iti aleke kishapula nu kumilya i pasaka.
29 So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
Ku lulo uPilato aka ahanga nu kuligitya, “Ingi usemelwa kii nu umutuile umuntu uyu?”
30 “If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
Akamusukiilya nu kumutambuila, “Anga aza ize umuntu uyu watule shanga mituma ubibi, shanga azaa kuzeemuleta kitalako.”
31 “You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
uPilato aka atambuila, Muholi unyenye akola, mende mumulamule kuniganiila ni lagiilyo nilanyu.” Ni enso i Ayahudi akamutambuila, 'Ilagiilyo shanga likulekee usese kumubulaga muntu wihi.”
32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
Ai aligitilye aya iti lukani nu lang'wa Yesu lukondaniile, lukani naiza watulaa wakondyaa ligitya migulya a mpyani a nsha akwe.
33 Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Uugwa uPilato akingila mu praitorio akamitanga uYesu; akamutambuila, “Itii, uewe wi mutemi nu Ayahudi?'
34 “Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”
uYesu akamusukiilya, '“Itii, uewe ukunkolya ikolyo ili ku nsoko uloilwe kulingaa ang'wi ku nsoko angiiza akulagiiye iti unkolye unene?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
Nu ng'wenso uPilato akamusukiilya, “Unene shanga ni Muyahudi, ang'wi shanga?” Ingu nuako ni a kuhani akulu wawo niakuletile kitalane; uewe witumile ki ntuni?
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.”
uYesu aka sukiilya; “Uutemi nuane shanga nua unkumbigulu uwu, anga ize u utemi nuane azautule ni patyo mu unkumbigulu uwu atung'waa ane aza aze ninkuilya iti ndeke kupumigwa ku Ayahudi. Ku tai u utemi nuane shanga upumile apa” Ila
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.”
uPilato akamutambuila, “Itii, uewe gwa wi mutemi?” uYesu akasukiilya, “u ewe yuyo ukuligitya kina unene ni mutemi, ku nsoko iyi unene ai ntugilwe ni ku nsoko iy unene nazilee mu unkumbigulu iti ntule numukuiili nua tai. Wihi nuailee wa tai iyo witegeelya u luli nuane.
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.
uPilato akamutambuila, “Itai ki ntuni?” Nu ng'wenso nai wakondya kuligitya aya akalongola ku Ayahudi nu kuatambuila, “shanga kihenga mu muntu uyu kihi.
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?”
Unyenye mukete logo nulanyu nu ukuntenda nu mutunguile ung'wi itungo nila pasaka. Itii muloilwe numutunguile mutemi nua Ayahudi.”
40 “Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
Uugwa akakua iyogo azeligitya, shanga yuyu, kutunguilye uBaraba.” nu ng'wenso uBaraba ai watulaa muhegelanyi.
