John 18
1 Having said these things Jesus went out with His disciples across the Kidron ravine, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered.
Yesu peamali kujova genago, akakupuka kamfuleni kekikemelewa Keduloni, pamonga na vawuliwa vaki. Pandu apo pavi na lidimba, Yesu akayingila pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
2 Now Judas, the one betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples.
Yuda, mweamng'anamukili Yesu, apamanyili pandu penapo, ndava Yesu ahambayi pamahele Yesu akonganiki na vawuliwa vaki kwenuko.
3 So Judas, having received the detachment of soldiers and operatives from the chief priests and Pharisees, he arrives there with lanterns, torches and weapons.
Hinu, Yuda atoli msambi wa manjolinjoli va Chilumi na valonda va Nyumba ya Chapanga, kuhuma kwa vakulu va vateta na Vafalisayu, akabwela navu palidimba kuni vagegi hahi na lumuli na migoha na vibonga.
4 Then Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to Him, went forward and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Yesu, kuni imanya gegakumkolela, akavahegelela, akavakota, “Mukumulonda yani?”
5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Natsorean.” Jesus says to them, “I am he.” (Now Judas, His betrayer, was also standing with them.)
Vene vakamyangula, “Yesu Mnazaleti!” Yesu akavajovela, “Nene, ndi mwene.” Yuda mweakumung'anamukila yula ayimili bahapo pamonga navu.
6 So when He said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground!
Yesu peavajovili, “Nene ndi mwene.” Vakawuya mumbele vakagwa pahi.
7 Then He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the Natsorean.”
Mwene akavakota kavili, “Mukumulonda yani?” Vakamyangula, “Yesu Mnazaleti!”
8 Jesus answered: “I told you that I am he. So if it is me you are looking for, allow these men to go”
Yesu akavayangula, “Nimali kuvajovela kuvya mwene ndi nene, ndava mukunilonda nene muvaleka ava vahamba.”
9 (so that the word that He spoke might be fulfilled, “Of those you have given me I did not lose even one”).
Ajovili genago muni gatimilayi geajovili gala, “Dadi vala vewanipelili nakumyagisa hati mmonga.”
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
Simoni Petili avi na upanga, ndi akauholomola, na kumdumula likutu la kulyela mtangatila wa Mteta Mkulu. Mtumisi mwenuyo liina laki Maluko.
11 So Jesus said to Peter: “Sheathe the sword! The cup that the Father has given me, must I not drink it?”
Yesu akamyangula, Petili, “Wuyisa upanga muchihaku. Wu, chikombi cha mang'ahiso cheanipeli Dadi nikotoka kunywa?”
12 Then the detachment, the commander and the operatives of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.
Msambi wa manjolinjoli va Chilumi pamonga na vakulu vavi, na valonda va Vayawudi vamkamwili Yesu, vakamkunga,
13 They took Him to Annas first, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
na kumupeleka hoti kwa Anasi, Anasi avi mkohanu wa Kayafa mweavi Mteta Mkulu mwaka wenuwo.
14 (Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.)
Kayafa ndi yula mweavajovili vachilongosi va Vayawudi kuvya mbanga mundu mmonga afwayi ndava ya vandu.
15 Now Simon Peter kept following Jesus, as also the other disciple. Well that disciple was known to the high priest, so he went into the high priest's courtyard with Jesus.
Simoni Petili pamonga na muwuliwa yungi vamlandili Yesu. Muwuliwa mwenuyo amanyikini kwa Mteta Mkulu, akayingila pamonga na Yesu mu luvanja lwa Mteta Mkulu.
16 But Peter was left standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper (f), and brought Peter in.
Nambu Petili ayimili kuvala ya mlyangu. Yula muwuliwa yungi, mweamanyikini kwa mteta mkulu, akahuma kuvala na kujova na msikana mlonda wa mlyangu, akamyingisa Petili mugati.
17 So the servant girl, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you?” He says, “I am not!”
Msikana mlonda wa mlyangu, akamkota Petili, “Wu, na veve mmonga wa vawuliwa va mundu uyu?” Petili akamjovela, “Nene lepi!”
18 Now the servants and operatives had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing there warming themselves. So Peter stood with them and warmed himself.
Vatumisi na valonda vayota motu ndava kwavi na mbepu. Petili namwene ayimili na vayaki kuyota motu.
19 Then the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.
Mteta mkulu akamkota Yesu kumvala mawuliwu gaki pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
20 Jesus answered him: “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogue and temple, where the Jews always congregate, and I have spoken nothing in secret.
Yesu akamyangula, “Nijovili na kila mundu hotohoto ligono kwa ligono. Magono goha navawulili munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, pandu pevikonganeka Vayawudi voha, na nakujova chamfiyu.
21 Why do you question me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them. Sure, they know what I said.”
Ndava kyani ukunikota nene? Uvakota vala vevayuwini navajovili kyani. Vene vimanya chenavajovili.”
22 But upon His saying these things one of the operatives standing by slapped Jesus saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
Peamali kujova genago mlonda mmonga mweayimili papipi, akampamanda Yesu, akamjovela, “Wu, ndi chaukumyangula Mteta Mkulu?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I spoke wrongly, identify the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit me?”
Yesu akamyangula, “Ngati nijovili uhakau langisa uhakau wene, nambu ngati nijovili chakaka, ndava kyani ukunitova?”
24 (Annas had sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.)
Hinu, Anasi ampeliki Yesu kwa Kayafa kuni akungiwi, mweavi mteta mkulu.
25 Well Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You aren't one of His disciples too, are you?” So he denied it and said, “I am not!”
Simoni Petili ayimili penapo kuyota motu. Hinu vakamkota, “Wu, veve mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki?” Mwene akabela na kujova, “Nene lepi!”
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had sliced, says, “Didn't I see you with Him in the garden?”
Mmonga wa vatumisi wa Mteta Mkulu, muyaki yula mweadumuliwi likutu na Petili, akamkota “Wu, nene nakuwene lepi veve kulidimba pamonga naku?”
27 So Peter denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Kangi Petili akabela kavili, bahapo lijogolo likavika.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. They themselves did not enter the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled but could eat the Passover.
Kangi vakamtola Yesu kuhuma kwa Kayafa, vampeliki kunyumba ya chinkosi. Yavi hamba kucha, muni vanyambasika palongolo ya Chapanga. Vahotola kulya Pasaka vene vayingili lepi munyumba ya chilongosi wa Loma vakotoka kuhakaswa.
29 So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Pilatu avahumila chakuvala, akavakota, “Lijambu loki lemukumtakila mundu uyu?”
30 In reply they said to him, “If he were not an evil-doer we would not have handed him over to you.”
Vakamyangula, “Ngati mwenuyu kuvya abudili lepi ngatimletili lepi kwaku.”
31 So Pilate said to them, “You take him and judge him according to your law.” So the Jews said to him, “We are not permitted to execute anyone.”
Pilatu akavajovela, “Ena, mumtola mumuhamula mwavene, kulandana na malagizu ginu.” Vayawudi vakamyangula, “Tete tivii lepi na uhotola wa kumuhamula mundu yoyoha afwayi.”
32 (This was to fulfill the statement that Jesus made, indicating what sort of death He was about to die.)
Yakitiki ago gatimilayi malovi geajovili Yesu kulangisa yati ifwa namuna yoki.
33 Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium, called Jesus and said to Him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Pilatu akayingila kavili munyumba yaki, akamkemela Yesu na kumkota. “Ati veve ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi?”
34 Jesus answered him, “Are you saying this on your own, or did others inform you about me?”
Yesu akamyangula, “Wu, genago maholo gaku amala vandu vangi vakujovili kunivala nene?”
35 Pilate answered Him: “I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation, that is, the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?”
Pilatu akayangula, “Mwe! Myawudi nene? Vandu vaku na vakulu va kuteta vakuletili kwa nene. Uhengili kyani?”
36 Jesus answered: “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my subjects would fight so that I not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from here.”
Yesu akayangula, “Unkosi wangu lepi wa mulima uwu. Ngati kuvya unkosi wangu wa mulima wenuwu, vandu vevamlanda Yesu ngavanikengelili, vachilongosi va Vayawudi ngavanikamwili lepi. Nambu hinu unkosi wangu lepi wa penapa.”
37 So Pilate said to Him, “You are a king then?” Jesus answered: “As you say, I am a king; for this I was born. And for this I came into the world, to testify to the Truth. Everyone who is of the Truth hears my voice.”
Pilatu akamjovela, “Hinu veve ndi Nkosi?” Yesu akayangula, “Veve ndi ujova kuvya nene ndi Nkosi. Ndava yeniyo nene nivelikiwi na nibweli pamulima kuvajovela vandu uchakaka. Mundu yeyoha wa uchaka akuniyuwanila.”
38 Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?” Upon saying this he went out to the Jews again and says to them: “I find no crime in him at all.
Pilatu akamkota, “Uchakaka ndi chindu kiki?” Pilatu peamali kujova ago, akavahambila kavili vachilongosi va Chiyawudi kuvala, “Akavajovela nene nichiwene lepi chindu cheabudili.
39 Now we have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover; so do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?”
Nambu ndi mvelu winu nene kuvadindulila, muchifungu mundu mmonga lukumbi lwa Pasaka. Hinu mwigana nivadindulila Nkosi wa Vayawudi?”
40 Then they all cried out saying, “Not this fellow, but Barabbas!” Well, Barabbas was a bandit!
Penapo vakayangula. “Mwe! Lepi mwenuyo mdindulila Balaba!” Balaba avi mundu mweinyaga vandu vindu.
