< John 18 >

1 After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
Nígbà tí Jesu sì ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí tán, ó jáde pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ lọ sókè odò Kidironi, níbi tí àgbàlá kan wà, nínú èyí tí ó wọ̀, Òun àti àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
2 Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
Judasi, ẹni tí ó fihàn, sì mọ ibẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, nítorí nígbà púpọ̀ ni Jesu máa ń lọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Judasi, lẹ́yìn tí ó ti gba ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ-ogun, àti àwọn oníṣẹ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi wá síbẹ̀ ti àwọn ti fìtílà àti ògùṣọ̀, àti ohun ìjà.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
Nítorí náà bí Jesu ti mọ ohun gbogbo tí ń bọ̀ wá bá òun, ó jáde lọ, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ta ni ẹyin ń wá?”
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn wí pé, “Jesu ti Nasareti.” Jesu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi nìyí.” (Àti Judasi ọ̀dàlẹ̀, dúró pẹ̀lú wọn).
6 When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
Nítorí náà bí ó ti wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi nìyí,” wọ́n bì sẹ́yìn, wọ́n sì ṣubú lulẹ̀.
7 So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
Nítorí náà ó tún bi wọ́n léèrè, wí pé, “Ta ni ẹ ń wá?” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Jesu ti Nasareti.”
8 “I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
Jesu dáhùn pé, “Mo ti wí fún yín pé, èmi nìyí. Ǹjẹ́ bí èmi ni ẹ bá ń wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí àwọn wọ̀nyí máa lọ.”
9 This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
Kí ọ̀rọ̀ nì kí ó lè ṣẹ, èyí tó wí pé, “Àwọn tí ìwọ fi fún mi, èmi kò sọ ọ̀kan nù nínú wọn.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Simoni Peteru ẹni tí ó ní idà, fà á yọ, ó sì ṣá ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ olórí àlùfáà, ó sì ké etí ọ̀tún rẹ̀ sọnù. Orúkọ ìránṣẹ́ náà a máa jẹ́ Makọọsi.
11 “Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
Nítorí náà Jesu wí fún Peteru pé, “Tẹ idà rẹ bọ inú àkọ̀ rẹ, ago tí baba ti fi fún mi, èmi ó ṣe aláìmu ún bí?”
12 Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
Nígbà náà ni ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ-ogun àti olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́, àti àwọn oníṣẹ́ àwọn Júù mú Jesu, wọ́n sì dè é.
13 They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
Wọ́n kọ́kọ́ fà á lọ sọ́dọ̀ Annasi; nítorí òun ni àna Kaiafa, ẹni tí í ṣe olórí àlùfáà ní ọdún náà.
14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.
Kaiafa sá à ni ẹni tí ó ti bá àwọn Júù gbìmọ̀ pé, ó ṣàǹfààní kí ènìyàn kan kú fún àwọn ènìyàn.
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.
Simoni Peteru sì ń tọ Jesu lẹ́yìn, àti ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mìíràn kan: ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn náà jẹ́ ẹni mí mọ̀ fún olórí àlùfáà, ó sì bá Jesu wọ ààfin olórí àlùfáà lọ.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Peteru dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà lóde. Nígbà náà ni ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mìíràn náà tí í ṣe ẹni mí mọ̀ fún olórí àlùfáà jáde, ó sì bá olùṣọ́nà náà sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì mú Peteru wọlé.
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.
Nígbà náà ni ọmọbìnrin náà tí ń ṣọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà wí fún Peteru pé, “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú ha ń ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ọkùnrin yìí bí?” Ó wí pé, “Èmi kọ́.”
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.
Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ àti àwọn aláṣẹ sì dúró níbẹ̀, àwọn ẹni tí ó ti dáná nítorí ti òtútù mú, wọ́n sì ń yáná, Peteru sì dúró pẹ̀lú wọn, ó ń yáná.
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
Nígbà náà ni olórí àlùfáà bi Jesu léèrè ní ti àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, àti ní ti ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ̀.
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.
Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi ti sọ̀rọ̀ ní gbangba fún aráyé; nígbà gbogbo ni èmi ń kọ́ni nínú Sinagọgu, àti ní tẹmpili níbi tí gbogbo àwọn Júù ń péjọ sí, èmi kò sì sọ ohun kan ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
21 Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń bi mí léèrè? Béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó ti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, ohun tí mo wí fún wọn: wò ó, àwọn wọ̀nyí mọ ohun tí èmi wí.”
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?”
Bí ó sì ti wí èyí tan, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn aláṣẹ tí ó dúró tì í fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lu Jesu, pé, “Alábojútó àlùfáà ni ìwọ ń dá lóhùn bẹ́ẹ̀?”
23 Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí mo bá sọ̀rọ̀ búburú, jẹ́rìí sí búburú náà, ṣùgbọ́n bí rere bá ni, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń lù mí?”
24 Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
Nítorí Annasi rán an lọ ní dídè sọ́dọ̀ Kaiafa olórí àlùfáà.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Simoni Peteru dúró, ó sì ń yáná. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú ha jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀?” Ó sì sẹ́, wí pé, “Èmi kọ́.”
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?”
Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ olórí àlùfáà, tí ó jẹ́ ìbátan ẹni tí Peteru gé etí rẹ̀ sọnù, wí pé, “Èmi ko ha rí ọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ní àgbàlá?”
27 Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Peteru tún sẹ́: lójúkan náà àkùkọ sì kọ.
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.
Nígbà náà, wọ́n fa Jesu láti ọ̀dọ̀ Kaiafa lọ sí ibi gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́, ó sì jẹ́ kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀; àwọn tìkára wọn kò wọ inú gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́, kí wọn má ṣe di aláìmọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí wọn lè jẹ àsè ìrékọjá.
29 So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
Nítorí náà Pilatu jáde tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀sùn kín ní ẹ̀yin mú wá fun ọkùnrin yìí?”
30 “If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
Wọ́n sì dáhùn wí fún un pé, “Ìbá má ṣe pé ọkùnrin yìí ń hùwà ibi, a kì bá tí fà á lé ọ lọ́wọ́.”
31 “You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
Nítorí náà Pilatu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú un tìkára yín, kí ẹ sì ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin yín.” Nítorí náà ni àwọn Júù wí fún un pé, “Kò tọ́ fún wa láti pa ẹnikẹ́ni.”
32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
Kí ọ̀rọ̀ Jesu ba à lè ṣẹ, èyí tí ó sọ tí ó ń ṣàpẹẹrẹ irú ikú tí òun yóò kú.
33 Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Nítorí náà, Pilatu tún wọ inú gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́ lọ, ó sì pe Jesu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ha ni a pè ni ọba àwọn Júù bí?”
34 “Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”
Jesu dáhùn pé, “Èrò ti ara rẹ ni èyí, tàbí àwọn ẹlòmíràn sọ ọ́ fún ọ nítorí mi?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
Pilatu dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ha jẹ́ Júù bí? Àwọn ọmọ orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ, àti àwọn olórí àlùfáà ni ó fà ọ́ lé èmi lọ́wọ́, kín ní ìwọ ṣe?”
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.”
Jesu dáhùn wí pé, “Ìjọba mi kì í ṣe ti ayé yìí. Ìbá ṣe pé ìjọba mi jẹ́ ti ayé yìí, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi ìbá jà, kí a má ba à fi mí lé àwọn Júù lọ́wọ́, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ìjọba mi kì í ṣe láti ìhín lọ.”
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.”
Nítorí náà, Pilatu wí fún un pé, “Ọba ni ọ́ nígbà náà?” Jesu dáhùn wí pé, “Ìwọ wí pé, ọba ni èmi jẹ́. Nítorí èyí ni a ṣe bí mí, àti nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo sì ṣe wá sí ayé kí n lè jẹ́rìí sí òtítọ́, olúkúlùkù ẹni tí í ṣe ti òtítọ́ ń gbọ́ ohùn mi.”
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.
Pilatu wí fún un pé, “Kín ni òtítọ́?” Nígbà tí ó sì ti wí èyí tan, ó tún jáde tọ àwọn Júù lọ, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi kò rí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
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?”
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ní àṣà kan pé, kí èmi dá ọ̀kan sílẹ̀ fún yín nígbà àjọ ìrékọjá, nítorí náà ẹ ó ha fẹ́ kí èmi dá ọba àwọn Júù sílẹ̀ fún yín bí?”
40 “Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
Nítorí náà gbogbo wọn tún kígbe pé, “Kì í ṣe ọkùnrin yìí, bí kò ṣe Baraba!” Ọlọ́ṣà sì ni Baraba.
