John 18
1 After Jesus had finished speaking, he and his disciples crossed over the Kidron brook and went into an olive grove.
Jisu ih rang ah jensoom ano, Kidron joisah saangko heliphante loong damdi daankata. Erah di pa esiit angta, eno Jisu nyia heliphante loong ah erah di nopwang rumta.
2 Judas the betrayer knew the place, for Jesus had often gone there with his disciples.
Jisu jootkotte Judas ih erah pa ah mani angta erah jat eta, tiimnge liidi heliphante loong ah damdi Jisu erah di hepoot hepoot pakchomui roh ka ih rumta.
3 So Judas took with him a troop of soldiers together with guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They arrived there carrying torches, lanterns, and weapons.
Erah thoidi romwah phokhothoon nyia Pharisi nok hah loong ah ih Judas damdi Room nok hah sipaahi nyia Rangteenook bante loong ah langpi papi ih wangthuk rumta, eno neng loong ah weetook nyia phiitwe ah piirum ano erah pa adi nopwang rumta.
4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him. He went to meet them, and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
Jisu ih heh teeteewah ah mamah theng ah, erah banjat eta, eno neng taangko ih tiitkhoom kah ano cheng rumta, [O jam han sen ih ah?]
5 “Are you Jesus of Nazareth?” they asked. “I am,” Jesus told them. Judas the betrayer was standing with them.
“Najaret dowa Jisu,” neng loong ah ih ngaakbaat rumta. “Erah liihan abah ngah,” Jisu ih baat rumta. Mih khumtante, Judaas, ah erah di roongchap wangta.
6 When Jesus said “I am,” they fell back and dropped to the ground.
Jisu ih [Erah liihan abah ngah ngeh ih liikano[ neng liko ih ngaakchap rum ano hah ni loongjup rumta.
7 So he asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” “Are you Jesus of Nazareth?” they asked again.
Jisu ih weengaak cheng rumta, “O jam han sen ih ah?” “Najaret dowa Jisu,” neng loong ah ih liita.
8 “I already told you I am,” Jesus replied. “So if I'm the one you're looking for, let these others go.”
[Ngah ih jen baat ih rum taha erabah ngah ngeh ah.] Jisu ih baat rumta, [Ngah jam hali bah wahoh loong ah ngaakkaat ih thuk an.’’ Jisu ih emah ih li rumta. (
9 These words fulfilled what he had previously said: “I have not lost any of those you gave me.”
Heh ih maangdi ban baatta ah amiisak ih angsuh neng loong asuh emah li rumta, Jisu ih Hewah rang ah emah ih soomta: [Ewah! An ih kotahang miloong ah wasiit taan uh ngah ih mat haatmuh.])
10 Then Simon Peter drew a sword and struck Malchus, the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
Simon Pitar ih lang esiit huita, erah dokkhoom ano Romwah phokhothoon dah na ah dakmiiko ah dat dookta. Erah dah men ah langla Malkus ngeh angta.
11 Jesus told Peter, “Put the sword away! Do you think I shouldn't drink the cup the Father has given me?”
Jisu ih Pitar suh liita, [An lang ah hetoop adoh sak hui uh! Seng Wah ih kohalang chamnaang lookkep adoh tajokka nih thun hu?]
12 Then the soldiers, their commander, and the Jewish guards arrested Jesus and tied his hands.
Eno Room nawa sipaahi nyia neng saahaap, erah damdi Jehudi nok hah bante loong ah ih Jisu ah jorum ano kit rumta,
13 First they took him to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the current high priest.
jaakhoh thoon ah Kaiphas hopwah Anna reeni siitwan rumta, erah paang adi Kaiphas ah Romwah Phokhothoon angta.
14 Caiaphas was the one who had told the Jews, “It's better that one man die for the people.”
Jehudi ngoong awang loong asuh loongtang raang ih wasiit tek ah eseethoon ang ah ngeh ih hukbaatte ah Kaiphas angta.
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple did so too. This disciple was well-known to the high priest, and so he entered the high priest's courtyard with Jesus.
Pitar nyia heliphante wahoh wasiit Jisu lilih ih phankhoom kanyuuta. Erah heliphante ah Romwah Phokhothoon damdi menjat ang thoidi, Romwah Phokhothoon nok taakkhu ni Jisu damdi waknop wangta,
16 Peter had to remain outside by the door. So the other disciple who was known to the high priest went and spoke to the servant girl watching the door and brought Peter inside.
eno Pitar ah paakaawan adi banchapta. Heliphante ah kaalu ko ngaak kah ano jaalasah nusiit chapta asuh baat ano Pitar ah waknopsiit wanta.
17 The girl asked Peter, “Aren't you one of that man's disciples?” “Me? No, I'm not,” he replied.
Enoothong jaalasah rah ih kaalu adi Pitar suh chengta, [An uh Jisu liphante tanih angkoko?] [Ngah tah angkang, ] Pitar ih ngaakbaatta.
18 It was cold, and the servants and guards were standing by a fire they had made, warming themselves. Peter went and stood with them, warming himself.
Song ang kano, laksuh nyia bante loong ah we ah takrum ano songlom suh weekaang ni kookchap rumta. Erah di Pitar ah wang ano weekaang ni roong lomchap wangta.
19 Then the chief priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and what he had been teaching.
Romwah Phokhothoon ih Jisu suh heliphante loong tiit nyia heh ih nyootsootta ah chengta.
20 “I've spoken openly to everyone,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in the synagogues and in the Temple where all the Jewish people meet. I haven't said anything in secret.
Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Saarookwet ngah nokraat ni mirep suh saasa ih jenglang; Jehudi rangsoomnok ni nyia Rangteenok ni, maradi miloong ah kalomkhoon rum taha di ah. Mabah uh ngah husah ni jengmuh
21 So why are you questioning me? Ask the people who heard me what I told them. They know what I said.”
An ih emah tiim esuh cheng halang? Nga jeng boichaatte loong asuh cheng uh. Ngah ih tiimjih baat rumtang neng ih chaat eta.]
22 When he said this, one of the guards standing nearby slapped Jesus, saying, “Is that any way to speak to the high priest?”
Jisu ih emah li kano, bante dowa wasiit ih hethe ni baangbuh ano liita, [Romwah Phokhothoon suh an ih emah mamah naan liihu!]
23 Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, tell everyone what was wrong with it. But if what I said was right, why did you hit me?”
Jisu ih heh suh ngaak liitta, “Ngah tiim bah uh mokjeng etang bah, mirep suh adoh baat uh. Enoothong ngah tiim jengtang erah punjeng etang baleh tiim esuh buh halang?]
24 Annas sent him, his hands still tied, to Caiaphas the high priest.
Annas ih Jisu ah kitchoi Romwah Phokhothoon Kaiphas taang ni wangthukta.
25 As Simon Peter stood warming himself by the fire, the people there asked him, “Aren't you one of his disciples?” Peter denied it and said, “No, I'm not.”
Erah di Pitar ah weekaang ni chaproh eta. Erah thoidi miloong ah ih cheng rumta, [An uh erah wah liphante taba ang koko?] Pitar ih weeliita, [Ngah ah tah angkang.]
26 One of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked Peter, “Didn't I see you in the olive grove with him?”
Romwah Phokhothoon dah wasiit, Pitar ih heh na datdook ta phoh awah erah di eje angta. Erah dah rah ih liita, [Jisu damdi pa ni taba tup taha?]
27 Peter denied it again, and immediately a cock crowed.
Eno Pitar we leekta, Tajatkang—erah damdam ih woh ah weeta.
28 Early in the morning they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. The Jewish leaders didn't enter the palace because if they did they would be ceremonially defiled, and they wanted to be able to eat the Passover meal.
Rangkhano ih Kaiphas nok nawa Jisu ah Kobono noklong ni siitwan rumta. Neng banlam di Khopi kuwaang miiphaksat suh neng ah esa ang theng, erah thoidi Jehudi ngoong awang loong ah kobono nokmong ni tanop wang rumta.
29 So Pilate came out to meet them. “What charge are you bringing against this man?” he asked.
Erah thoidi Pilat ah dokkhoom kah ano chengkah rumta, [Arah mih ah tiim thoidi jowan halan?]
30 “If he wasn't a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you,” they answered.
Neng ih ngaakbaatta, [Lamoongre dobah an suh ju tajoot kot wantheng tahe.]
31 “Then you take him and judge him according to your law,” Pilate told them. “We're not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews answered.
[Emah ang abah sen hootthe jun ih mat ah taat hoonkaat thaak an.] Pilat ih baat rumta. Jehudi loong ah ih ngaakli rumta, [Seng ih mih tami tek haatke.] (
32 This fulfilled what Jesus had said about how he would die.
Erah langla Jisu ih heh mamah ih tektheng ah erah tiit ban baatta ah wuusa nah amiimi dong angsuh jeng rumta.)
33 Pilate went back into the governor's palace. He summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Pilat ih Jisu nokmong ni poonwan ano cheng wanta, [An Jehudi Luuwang nih ah?]
34 “Did you think of this question yourself, or did others talk to you about me?” Jesus responded.
Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, [Nga tiit ah an thung ih tamcheng halang tam aleh mih ih baat ho ih cheng halang?]
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate countered. “It was your own people and high priests who handed you over to me. What is it that you've done?”
Pilat ih ngaak liita, [Ngah suh Jehudi nok hah nih li halang? An mina loong nyia romwah phokhoh loong ih ba jokoh wanrum halang. An tiimjih ih kotu?]
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it was of this world, my subjects would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from here.”
Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, [Nga hasong ah arah mongrep hasong tah angka; arah mongrep hasong angta bah nga lih phanjootte loong ah Jehudi ngoong awang suh lajoot thuksuh mui etheng rumta. Nga hasong bah mongrep hasong tah angka.]
37 Then Pilate asked, “So you are a king, then?” “You say that I'm a king,” Jesus replied. “The reason why I was born and I came to the world was to give evidence for the truth. All those who accept the truth pay attention to what I say.”
Eno Pilat ih Jisu suh chengta, [Enoobah, an luuwang tam ah?] Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, [An ih liitu ngah luuwang ngeh ah. Ngabah dongtup hangno arah mongrep adi jisiit raangtaan ih ra tahang, erah langla amiitiit ah baat suh. O mina amiisak mih ang ah erah ih nga jeng ah boichaat hang.
38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked. Having said this Pilate went back out to the Jews and told them, “I find him not guilty of any crime.
“Enoobah amiitiit ah tiimah?” Pilat ih chengta. Eno Pilat ah weengaak dokkhoom kah ano miloong asuh liikah rumta, [Heh tiim thoilam doh thet haat theng ah ngah ebah tah jatjoh kang.
39 However, it is customary for me to release a prisoner to you at Passover. Do you want me to release the King of the Jews?”
Enoothong sen banlam di, Khopiikuh rookwet sen raangtaan ih phaatak nawa wasiit ah daap haat koroh erum hala. Sen loong raangtaan ih Jehudi luuwang ah daap haat kot ah tamjam han?”
40 “No, not him! We want Barabbas instead!” they shouted back. Barabbas was a rebel.
Neng loong ah ih riiraak damdi ngaakbaat rumta, “Heh tah angka! Barabbas jamhi! (Barabbas ah miputte angta.)
