John 18
1 When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
Sima na Yesu kobondela, akendeki elongo na bayekoli na Ye mpe bakatisaki lubwaku ya Sedron epai wapi elanga moko ezalaki. Yesu akotaki na elanga yango elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.
Yuda oyo asilaki komibongisa mpo na kokaba Yesu ayebaki esika yango malamu, pamba te Yesu azalaki kokende kuna mbala mingi elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
3 Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Boye Yuda akendeki na elanga yango mpe amemaki lisanga ya basoda mpe ya bakengeli oyo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo bapesaki ye. Bato yango basimbaki minda, banzete oyo ezalaki kopela moto mpe bibundeli.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?
Lokola Yesu ayebaki makambo nyonso oyo esengeli kokomela Ye, akendeki kokutana na bango mpe atunaki bango: — Bozali koluka nani?
5 They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
Bazongisaki: — Yesu ya Nazareti. Yesu alobaki na bango: — Ezali Ngai oyo. Mpe Yuda oyo atekaki Yesu epai na bango azalaki wana elongo na bango.
6 As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Tango Yesu alobaki na bango: « Ezali Ngai oyo, » bazongaki na sima mpe bakweyaki na mabele.
7 Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
Yesu atunaki bango lisusu: — Bozali koluka nani? Bazongisaki: — Yesu ya Nazareti.
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nasili koloba na bino ete ezali Ngai. Soki ezali Ngai nde bozali koluka, botika bato mosusu kokende.
9 That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.
Ezali bongo nde esengelaki kokokisama, liloba oyo Yesu alobaki: « Kati na bato oyo opesaki ngai, nabungisi ata moko te. »
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.
Lokola Simona Petelo azalaki na mopanga, abimisaki yango wuta na ebombelo na yango, abetaki mosali ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe akataki ye litoyi ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali. Kombo ya mosali yango ezalaki Malikisi.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Kasi Yesu alobaki na Petelo: — Zongisa mopanga na yo kati na ebombelo na yango. Boni, nasengeli te komela kopo ya pasi, oyo Tata apesi Ngai?
12 Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:
Lisanga ya basoda, mokonzi na bango mpe bakengeli ya Bayuda bakamataki Yesu mpe bakangaki Ye basinga;
13 And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.
bamemaki Ye liboso epai ya Ana oyo azalaki tata-bokilo ya Kayifa, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, na mobu wana.
14 Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Ezalaki mpe Kayifa wana nde apesaki Bayuda toli oyo: « Eleki malamu ete moto moko akufa mpo na bato nyonso. »
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.
Simona Petelo mpe moyekoli mosusu bazalaki kolanda Yesu. Moyekoli yango ayebanaki na mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe akotaki elongo na Yesu na lopango ya kati ya ndako ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
16 But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.
Petelo azalaki kozela libanda, na liboso ya ekuke. Moyekoli wana, oyo ayebanaki na mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, abimaki, asololaki na mwasi mokengeli ekuke mpe akotisaki Petelo.
17 The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith: I am not.
Mwasi mosali oyo azalaki kokengela ekuke atunaki Petelo: — Boni, yo mpe ozali te moko kati na bayekoli ya moto wana? Petelo azongisaki: — Nazali moyekoli na ye te.
18 Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.
Lokola malili ezalaki, basali mpe bakengeli bapelisaki moto mpe batelemaki pembeni-pembeni mpo na koyetola. Petelo mpe azalaki wana elongo na bango mpo na koyetola.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe apesaki Yesu mituna na tina na bayekoli na Ye mpe na tina na mateya na Ye.
20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.
Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Nazalaki koloba na polele penza na miso ya bato nyonso, nazalaki koteya tango nyonso kati na bandako ya mayangani mpe kati na Tempelo, epai wapi Bayuda nyonso basanganaka; nalobaki eloko moko te na nkuku.
21 Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.
Mpo na nini ozali kotuna Ngai mituna? Tuna epai ya bato oyo bayokaki Ngai koloba. Ezali bango nde bakoki koyeba malamu makambo oyo nazalaki koloba.
22 And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?
Tango kaka Yesu alobaki bongo, moko kati na bakengeli oyo bazalaki wana abetaki Ye mbata na koloba: — Boni! Ezali bongo nde ozali kozongisela mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe?
23 Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Soki nalobi mabe, mabe yango ezali wapi? Kasi soki nalobi na Ngai kaka solo, mpo na nini kobeta Ngai?
24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.
Bongo Ana atindaki Yesu oyo azalaki kaka ya kokangama na basinga, epai ya Kayifa, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
25 And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.
Wana Simona Petelo azalaki nanu koyetola moto, batunaki ye: — Yo mpe ozali te moko kati na bayekoli na ye? Petelo awanganaki yango na koloba: — Te, nazali moyekoli na ye te.
26 One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
Kasi moko kati na basali ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, ndeko mobali ya moto oyo Petelo akataki litoyi, alobaki: — Boni, ngai namonaki yo te elongo na ye kati na elanga?
27 Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.
Kasi Petelo awanganaki yango lisusu; mpe mbala moko, soso elelaki.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor’s hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.
Bongo na tongo makasi, longwa na ndako ya Kayifa, bamemaki Yesu kati na ndako ya moyangeli oyo azalaki moto ya Rome. Kasi bango moko bato oyo bamemaki Yesu bakotaki te kati na ndako ya moyangeli, mpo ete bamikomisa mbindo te mpe mpo ete bazwa nzela ya kolia bilei ya Pasika.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?
Yango wana moyangeli Pilato abimaki na libanda mpe atunaki bango: — Bofundi moto oyo mpo na likambo nini?
30 They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
Bazongiselaki ye: — Soki moto oyo asalaki mabe te, tolingaki mpe koya te kotika ye na maboko na yo.
31 Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death;
Pilato alobaki na bango: — Bokamata ye mpe bosambisa ye bino moko kolanda mibeko na bino. Bayuda bazongiselaki ye: — Biso tozali na ndingisa te ya kokatela moto etumbu ya kufa.
32 That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.
Ezali ndenge wana nde ekokisamaki maloba oyo Yesu alobaki mpo na kolakisa lolenge ya kufa oyo asengelaki kokufa.
33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?
Pilato azongaki kati na ndako ya moyangeli, abengaki Yesu mpe atunaki Ye: — Boni, ozali mokonzi ya Bayuda?
34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?
Yesu azongisaki: — Boni, ezali na ndenge na yo moko nde olobi yango to bato mosusu nde bayebisi yo na tina na Ngai?
35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
Pilato atunaki Yesu: — Boni, okanisi ete ngai nazali Moyuda? Ezali bato ya ekolo na yo moko mpe bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe nde bayei kotika yo na maboko na ngai. Osali nini?
36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.
Yesu azongisaki: — Bokonzi na Ngai ezali ya mokili oyo te; soki ezalaki ya mokili oyo, basali na Ngai balingaki kobunda mpo ete nakweya te na maboko ya Bayuda. Solo, bokonzi na Ngai ezali ya mokili oyo te.
37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
Pilato atunaki: — Elingi koloba nini, ozali nde mokonzi? Yesu azongisaki: — Yo nde olobi yango ete nazali mokonzi. Nabotamaki mpe nayaki kati na mokili mpo na kopesa litatoli na tina na solo. Moto oyo azali kati na solo ayokaka mongongo na Ngai.
38 Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.
Pilato atunaki Ye: — Solo ezali nini? Sima na koloba maloba wana, Pilato abimaki lisusu na libanda epai wapi Bayuda bazalaki mpe alobaki na bango: — Nazwi ye na likambo moko te ya mabe mpo ete nakatela ye etumbu ya kufa.
39 But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
Kasi lokola ezali momesano epai na bino ete nabimisa na boloko mokangami moko, na tango ya feti ya Pasika, bozwa sik’oyo mokano. Bolingi ete natika mokonzi ya Bayuda mpo ete akoma nsomi?
40 Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Bango nyonso bazongisaki na koganga: — Te! Ye te! Bimisa nde Barabasi! Nzokande, Barabasi azalaki moyibi mpe mobomi bato.
