John 18
1 When Iesus had spoken these things, hee went foorth with his disciples ouer the brooke Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entred, and his disciples.
Yesu bɔɔ saa mpae yi wiei no, ɔne nʼasuafo no fii faako a wɔwɔ no kotwaa asu Kidron kɔɔ turo bi mu.
2 And Iudas which betraied him, knewe also the place: for Iesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples.
Esiane sɛ na Yesu ne nʼasuafo no taa kɔ hɔ no nti, na Yuda a oyii no mae no nim hɔ.
3 Iudas then, after hee had receiued a band of men and officers of the high Priests, and of the Pharises, came thither with lanternes and torches, and weapons.
Asɔfo mpanyin ne Farisifo no somaa Yuda ne asraafo ne asɔredan mu awɛmfo a wokurakura akode ne akanea kɔɔ faako a wɔwɔ no.
4 Then Iesus, knowing all things that shoulde come vnto him, went foorth and said vnto them, Whom seeke yee?
Yesu a na onim nea ɛbɛba ne so nyinaa no kohyiaa wɔn bisaa wɔn se, “Hena na mohwehwɛ no?”
5 They answered him, Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them, I am hee. Nowe Iudas also which betraied him, stoode with them.
Wobuaa no se, “Yesu a ofi Nasaret no.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me ni!” Na Yuda a oyii no maa no gyina hɔ bi.
6 Assoone then as hee had saide vnto them, I am hee, they went away backewardes, and fell to the grounde.
Yesu kae se, “Me ni” no, wopinpinii wɔn akyi na wɔhwehwee ase.
7 Then he asked them againe, Whome seeke yee? And they sayd, Iesus of Nazareth.
Ɔsan bisaa wɔn bio se, “Morehwehwɛ hena?” Na wobuae se, “Yesu a ofi Nasaret no.”
8 Iesus answered, I said vnto you, that I am he: therefore if ye seeke me, let these go their way.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Maka akyerɛ mo dedaw se me ni. Sɛ me na morehwehwɛ me de a, ɛno de, momma mʼasuafo no nkɔ.”
9 This was that the worde might be fulfilled which hee spake, Of them which thou gauest me, haue I lost none.
Ɔkaa eyi nyinaa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nsɛm a wɔaka se, “Agya, wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no mu baako koraa nyerae” no bɛba mu.
10 Then Simon Peter hauing a sword, drewe it, and smote the hie Priests seruant, and cut off his right eare. Nowe the seruants name was Malchus.
Saa bere no Petro a na okura afoa no twe de twaa ɔsɔfopanyin no asomfo no mu baako aso nifa. Saa akoa no din de Malko.
11 Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter, Put vp thy sworde into the sheath: shall I not drinke of the cuppe which my Father hath giuen me?
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro se, “Fa wʼafoa no san hyɛ faako a wotwe fii. Ɛnsɛ sɛ menom kuruwa a mʼAgya de ama me no ano ana?”
12 Then the bande and the captaine, and the officers of the Iewes tooke Iesus, and bound him,
Asraafo no ne wɔn panyin ne asɔredan mu awɛmfo no kyeree Yesu, kyekyeree ne nsa,
13 And led him away to Annas first (for he was father in lawe to Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yeere)
de no dii kan kɔmaa Anas a na nʼase ne Kaiafa a saa bere no na ɔyɛ Ɔsɔfopanyin no.
14 And Caiaphas was he, that gaue counsel to the Iewes, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Kaiafa na otuu Yudafo no fo se, eye sɛ onipa baako bewu ama ɔman no.
15 Nowe Simon Peter folowed Iesus, and another disciple, and that disciple was knowen of the hie Priest: therefore he went in with Iesus into the hall of the hie Priest:
Simon Petro ne osuani baako dii Yesu akyi. Na osuani baako no yɛ obi a ɔsɔfopanyin no nim no yiye. Saa osuani no na onyaa kwan kɔɔ ɔsɔfopanyin no fi hɔ.
16 But Peter stood at the doore without. Then went out the other disciple which was knowen vnto the hie Priest, and spake to her that kept the doore, and brought in Peter.
Petro de, ɔkaa ɔpon no akyi. Saa osuani a na onim ɔsɔfopanyin no yiye no san bae, ne abaawa a na ɔhwɛ ɔpon no ano no bɛkasa maa Petro nyaa kwan kɔɔ mu.
17 Then saide the maide that kept the doore, vnto Peter, Art not thou also one of this mans disciples? He sayd, I am not.
Abaawa a ogyina ɔpon ano no bisaa Petro se, “Wonyɛ saa onipa no asuafo no mu baako ana?” Petro buae se, “Dabi.”
18 And the seruants and officers stoode there, which had made a fire of coles: for it was colde, and they warmed themselues. And Peter also stood among them, and warmed himselfe.
Saa bere no na ɛyɛ awɔwbere, enti na asomfo no ne asraafo no asɔ gya a wɔreto. Petro nso kogyinaa hɔ too gya no bi.
19 (The hie Priest then asked Iesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
Ɔsɔfopanyin no bisaa Yesu nsɛm faa nʼasuafo no ne ne nkyerɛkyerɛ ho.
20 Iesus answered him, I spake openly to the world: I euer taught in the Synagogue and in the Temple, whither the Iewes resort continually, and in secret haue I sayde nothing.
Yesu buae se, “Mekaa me nsɛm nyinaa wɔ gua mu na mekyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ asɔredan ne hyiadan mu a nnipa nyinaa hyia hɔ no. Menkaa asɛm biara wɔ kokoa mu.
21 Why askest thou mee? aske them which heard mee what I sayde vnto them: beholde, they knowe what I sayd.
Adɛn nti na wubisa saa asɛm yi? Bisa wɔn a wotiee me no. Wɔn na wonim asɛm a mekae.”
22 When he had spoken these thinges, one of the officers which stoode by, smote Iesus with his rod, saying, Answerest thou the hie Priest so?
Yesu kaa saa no, awɛmfo no mu baako bɔɔ no sotɔre kae se, “Wo sɛɛ ne hena a wutumi kasa ɔsɔfopanyin anim saa?”
23 Iesus answered him, If I haue euill spoken, beare witnes of the euil: but if I haue well spoken, why smitest thou me?
Yesu buaa no se, “Sɛ maka asɛmmɔne bi a, ka asɛm a mekae no na obiara a ɔwɔ ha nte bi. Na sɛ asɛm a mekaa no nso yɛ nokware de a, adɛn nti na wobɔ me?”
24 Nowe Annas had sent him bound vnto Caiaphas the hie Priest)
Afei, Anas ma wɔde Yesu a wɔakyekyere ne nsa no kɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin Kaiafa anim.
25 And Simon Peter stoode and warmed himselfe, and they said vnto him, Art not thou also of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
Bere a Petro da so gyina hɔ reto gya no bi no, wɔn a na wogyina hɔ no mu bi bisaa no se, “Wo nso wonyɛ ɔbarima no asuafo no mu baako ana?” Petro san bio sɛ, “Dabi, menka wɔn ho.”
26 One of the seruaunts of the hie Priest, his cousin whose eare Peter smote off, saide, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
Ɔsɔfopanyin no asomfo no mu baako a na ɔyɛ nea Petro twaa nʼaso no busuani no nso bisaa no se, “Ɛnyɛ wo na na wo ne no wɔ turo no mu hɔ no?”
27 Peter then denied againe, and immediatly the cocke crewe.
Petro san san bio se, “Dabi.” Nʼano sii ara pɛ na akokɔ bɔnee.
28 Then led they Iesus from Caiaphas into the common hall. Nowe it was morning, and they themselues went not into the common hall, least they should be defiled, but that they might eate the Passeouer.
Wɔde Yesu fii Kaiafa fi de no kɔɔ Pilato ahemfi. Saa bere no na ɛyɛ anɔpahema. Esiane sɛ na Yudafo no mpɛ sɛ fi ka wɔn na wɔatumi adi Twam Afahyɛ aduan no bi nti, wɔankɔ hɔ bi.
29 Pilate then went out vnto them, and said, What accusation bring yee against this man?
Pilato fii adi baa faako a na nnipa no wɔ no bebisaa wɔn se, “Bɔne bɛn na saa onipa yi ayɛ?”
30 They answered, and saide vnto him, If hee were not an euill doer, we woulde not haue deliuered him vnto thee.
Nnipa no buaa no se, “Sɛ ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara a anka yɛamfa no amma wʼanim ha.”
31 Then sayde Pilate vnto them, Take yee him, and iudge him after your owne Lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him, It is not lawfull for vs to put any man to death.
Pilato ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo ara momfa no nkɔ na momfa mo mmara so nni nʼasɛm.” Yudafo no nso kae se, “Yenni tumi sɛ yekum obi.”
32 It was that the worde of Iesus might be fulfilled which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
Nea esii yi maa nsɛm a Yesu ka de kyerɛɛ owu ko a obewu no daa adi pefee.
33 So Pilate entred into the common hall againe, and called Iesus, and sayde vnto him, Art thou the king of the Iewes?
Pilato san kɔɔ nʼahemfi hɔ kobisaa Yesu se, “Wone Yudafo hene no ana?”
34 Iesus answered him, Saiest thou that of thy selfe, or did other tell it thee of me?
Yesu nso bisaa no se, “Wo ara wʼadwene na wode rebisa me saa asɛm yi, anaasɛ nnipa bi na wɔaka me ho asɛm akyerɛ wo?”
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Iewe? Thine owne nation, and the hie Priestes haue deliuered thee vnto me. What hast thou done?
Pilato buaa Yesu se, “Wususuw sɛ meyɛ Yudani ana? Wo ara wo nkurɔfo ne wɔn asɔfo mpanyin na wɔde wo brɛɛ me. Dɛn na woayɛ?”
36 Iesus answered, My kingdome is not of this worlde: if my kingdome were of this worlde, my seruants would surely fight, that I should not be deliuered to the Iewes: but nowe is my kingdome not from hence.
Yesu buaa no se, “Mʼahenni nyɛ asase so ahenni; sɛ mʼahenni yɛ asase so ahenni a, anka mʼakyidifo bɛko agye me afi Yudafo mpanyimfo no nsam. Mereka bio se, mʼahenni nyɛ asase so ahenni.”
37 Pilate then said vnto him, Art thou a King then? Iesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King: for this cause am I borne, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should beare witnes vnto the trueth: euery one that is of the trueth, heareth my voyce.
Pilato see no sɛ, “Ɛno de, na woyɛ ɔhene ana?” Yesu buaa no se, “Wo na wuse meyɛ ɔhene. Ade baako pɛ nti na wɔwoo me baa wiase ha, sɛ mimmedi nokware ho adanse. Obiara a ɔpɛ nokware no tie me.”
38 Pilate said vnto him, What is trueth? And when he had saide that, hee went out againe vnto the Iewes, and said vnto them, I finde in him no cause at all.
Pilato bisaa no se, “Dɛn ne saa nokware no?” Afei Pilato fii adi kɔɔ Yudafo no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Minni asɛm biara a megyina so abu no fɔ.
39 But you haue a custome, that I shoulde deliuer you one loose at the Passeouer: will yee then that I loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes?
Nanso sɛnea mo Twam Afahyɛ amanne te no, afe biara moma migyaa odeduani baako ma mo. Mopɛ sɛ migyaa Yudafo hene no ma mo ana?”
40 Then cried they all againe, saying, Not him, but Barabbas: nowe this Barabbas was a murtherer.
Yudafo no teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dabi! Ɛnyɛ saa onipa yi. Gyaa Baraba ma yɛn!” Na saa Baraba yi yɛ ɔmammɔfo.
