John 18
1 Jesus saying these things, went out with His disciples beyond the brook of Kidron, where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples came.
Baada ya Yesu kusema maneno haya, aliondoka na wanafunzi wake kuelekea bonde la Kidron, ambako kulikuwa na bustani, ambako yeye na wanafunzi wake wakaingia ndani yake.
2 And Judas, the one having betrayed Him; knew the place: because frequently Jesus with His disciples resorted thither.
Sasa yule Yuda, aliyetaka kumsaliti, naye alilijua eneo hilo, kwani Yesu alikuwa akienda hili eneo mara kadhaa akiwa na wanafunzi wake.
3 Then Judas, having taken a band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and arms.
Naye Yuda, baada ya kuwa amepata kundi la maaskari na maofisa toka kwa wakuu wa makuhani, wakaja wakiwa na taa, kurunzi na silaha.
4 Then Jesus, knowing all things which are coming on Him, came out, says to them, Whom do you seek?
Naye Yesu, hali akijua kila kitu kilichokuwa kikifanyika dhidi yake, alijitokeza mbele na akawauliza, “Ni nani mnayemtafuta?”
5 They responded to Him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am He. And Judas also, the one having betrayed Him, stood with them.
Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu Mnazareth.” Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye” Naye Yuda aliyemsaliti, alikuwa amesimama pamoja na wale askari.
6 Then when He said to them, I am He, they went back, and fell on the ground.
Kwa hiyo alipowaambia, “Mimi ndiye” walirudi kinyume na kuanguka chini.
7 Then He again asked them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
Halafu akawauliza tena, “Ni nani mnayemtafuta? Nao wakamjibu tena “Yesu mnazareth.”
8 Jesus responded, I told you that I am He: if then you seek me, let these depart.
Yesu akawajibu, “Nimekwisha kuwaambia kuwa Mimi ndiye; kwa hiyo kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa wengine waende.”
9 In order that the word which He spoke might be fulfilled, that, I have lost none of those whom thou hast given unto me.
Haya yalikuwa hivyo ili lile neno litimilike; pale aliposema; “Katika wale ulionipa, sikumpoteza hata mmoja.”
10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name to that servant was Malchus.
Ndipo Simon Petro, aliyekuwa na upanga, akaufuta na kumkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa Kuhani mkuu. Na jina lake mtumishi yule lilikuwa Malko.
11 Then Jesus said to Peter, Put thy sword in the scabbard: the cup which the Father gave me, shall I not drink it?
Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako kwenye ala yake. Kwa nini nisikinywee kikombe kile alichonipa Baba?”
12 Then the band and chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound Him.
Basi lile kundi la askari na jemedari, na watumishi wa Wayahudi, walimkamata Yesu na kumfunga.
13 And they led Him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Nao wakamwongoza kwanza mpaka kwa Anasi, kwani yeye alikuwa mkwe wa Kayafa, ambaye ndiye aliyekuwa Kuhani mkuu kwa mwaka huo.
14 And Caiaphas was the one counseling the Jews, that it is profitable that one man die for the people.
Sasa Kayafa ndiye aliyekuwa amewapa ushauri Wayahudi ya kwamba ilimpasa mtu mmoja afe kwa ajili ya watu.
15 And Simon Peter and the other disciples followed Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and came with Jesus into the court of the high priest.
Simon Petro alimfuata Yesu, na vivyo hivyo mwanafunzi mwingine. Na yule mwanafunzi alikuwa akifahamika kwa kuhani mkuu, naye akaingia pamoja na Yesu katika behewa ya Kuhani mkuu;
16 And Peter stood without at the door. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came out and spoke to the porter, and led in Peter.
lakini Petro alikuwa amesimama nje ya mlango. Basi yule mwanafunzi aliyekuwa akifahamika kwa kuhani mkuu, alitoka nje akaenda kuongea na yule mwanamke mtumishi aliyekuwa akilinda mlango na kumwingiza Petro ndani.
17 And then the maidservant porter says to Peter, Art thou not one of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.
Basi yule kijakazi aliyekuwa akilinda mlango, alimwambia Petro, “Je wewe si mmoja wa wafuasi wa huyu mtu?” Naye akasema, “Mimi siye.”
18 And the servants and officers, having made a fire; because it was cold; were standing by it, and warming. And Peter was standing with them, and warming.
Na wale watumishi na wakuu walikuwa wakisimama mahali pale; wamekoka moto wa kwa maana, kulikuwa na baridi, na hivyo walikuwa wakiota moto ili kupata joto. Naye Petro alikuwa nao, akiota moto akiwa amesimama.
19 Then the high priest asked Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching.
Kuhani mkuu alimhoji Yesu juu ya wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.
20 And Jesus said to him, I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.
Yesu akamjbu, “Nimeuambia waziwazi ulimwengu; Mimi nilifundisha mara kwa mara kwenye masinagogi na hekaluni mahali ambapo wayahudi hukusanyika. Nami sikusema lolote katika siri.
21 Why do you ask me? ask those who have heard, what I said to them: behold, they know what I said.
Kwa nini mliniuliza? Waulizeni walionisikiliza juu ya kile nilichosema. Hawa watu wanajua mambo yale niliyosema.
22 And He speaking these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, Do you thus answer the high priest?
Yesu alipokwisha sema hivyo, mmoja wa wakuu aliyekuwa amesimama akampiga Yesu kwa mkono wake na kisha akasema, “Je, hivyo ndivyo inavyokupasa kumjibu kuhani mkuu?”
23 Jesus responded to him, If I spoke wickedly, witness concerning the wickedness: but if beautifully, why do you smite me?
Naye Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nimesema jambo lolote baya basi uwe shahidi kwa ajili ya uovu, na kama nimemjibu vyema kwa nini kunipiga?
24 Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Ndipo Anasi alipompeleka Yesu kwa Kayafa kuhani mkuu akiwa amefungwa.
25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming: and they said to him, Art thou not one of His disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
Sasa Simoni Petro alikuwa amesimama akijipasha joto mwenyewe. Halafu wale watu wakamwambia. “Je, wewe pia si mmoja wa wanaafunzi wake?” Akakana akisema “Mimi siye.”
26 And one of the servants of the chief priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see thee in the garden with Him?
Mmoja wa watumishi wa kuhani mkuu, ambaye alikuwa ndugu wa yule mwanaume ambaye Petro alimkata sikio, alisema, “Je si wewe niliyekuona naye kule bustanini?”
27 Then Peter again denied, and immediately the cock crew.
Petro akakana tena, na mara Jogoo akawika.
28 Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the judgment hall: and it was morning. And they did not come into the judgment hall, in order that they might not be polluted, but that they might eat the passover.
Kisha wakamchukua Yesu toka kwa Kayafa mpaka kwenye Praitorio. Ilikwa asubuhi na mapema. Wao wenyewe hawakuiingia ile Praitorio ili wasije wakanajisika na kuila pasaka.
29 Then Pilate came out to them, and says, What accusation do you bring against this man?
Kwa hiyo Pilato akawaendea akisema. “Ni shitaka gani linalomhusu huyu mtu?”
30 They responded and said to him, If He were not an evil doer, we would not deliver Him to you.
Wakamjibu na kumwambia, “Kama huyu mtu asingekuwa mtenda maovu, tusingemleta kwako.”
31 Then Pilate said to them. You take Him, and judge Him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one.
Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi wenyewe, mkamhukumu kulingana na sheria yenu.” Nao Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Sheria haituruhusu sisi kumwua mtu yeyote.”
32 In order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spoke, signifying by what death He was about to die.
Walisema haya ili neno la Yesu litimilike, neno ambalo alikuwa amekwisha sema juu ya aina ya kifo chake.
33 Then Pilate came again into the judgment hall, and asked Jesus, and said to Him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
Basi Pilato akaingia tena Praitorio akumwita Yesu; akamwambia, “Je, wewe ni mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
34 Jesus responded, Do you speak this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning me?
Yesu akamjibu, “Je, wewe waniuliza swali hili kwa Sababu wataka kujua au kwa sababu wengine wamekutuma ili uniulize mimi?”
35 Pilate responded, Whether am I a Jew? thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?
Naye Pilato akamjibu, “Mimi si Myahudi, au sivyo?” Taifa lako na kuhani mkuu ndio waliokuleta kwangu; wewe umefanya nini?
36 Jesus responded, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight for me, in order that I might not be delivered to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from thence.
Yesu akajibu; “Ufalme wangu si wa ulimwengu huu, kama ufalme wangu ungekuwa na sehemu katika ulimwengu huu watumwa wangu wangenipigania ili nisitolewe kwa wayahudi. Kwa kweli ufalme wangu hautoki hapa” Basi
37 Then Pilate said to Him, Then, art thou not a king? Jesus responded, Thou says that I am king. Unto this I was born, and unto this I have come into the world, in order that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice.
Pilato akamwambia, “Je, wewe basi u mfalme?” Yesu akajibu, “wewe ndivyo unanvyosema kuwa mimi ni mfalme, Kwa sababu hii mimi nilizaliwa na kwa sababu hii mimi nimekuja ulimwenguni ili niwe shahidi wa ile kweli. Yeyote aliye wa hiyo kweli huisikiliza sauti yangu.
38 Pilate says to Him, What is truth? And saying this, again he went out to the Jews, and speaks to them, I find no crime in Him.
Pilato akamwambia, “Kweli ni nini?” Naye alipokwisha sema haya akaenda kwa Wayahudi na kuwaambia “Siona katika lolote mtu huyu.
39 There is a custom to you, that I release unto you one during the passover. Then do you wish that I may release unto you the King of the Jews?
Ninyi mna utamaduni unaonifanya nimfunfungulie mfungwa mmoja wakati wa Pasaka. Je mnataka nimfungulie mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
40 Then they all again cried out, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. And Barabbas was a robber.
Kisha walipiga kelele wakisema, siyo huyu, tufungulie Baraba.” Naye Baraba alikuwa mnyang'anyi.
