John 18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
Jesu hamana ku wamba aa manzwi, ni cha yenda ni valutwani mwi shilya lya musindi wa Kedroni, mu vena luwa u mo iye ni valutwani vakwe mu va ve njili.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus frequently resorted thither with his disciples.
Linu Judasi, ya vati a muveteke, a vezi chi vaka, kakuti Jesu avali ku yanga mwateni inako ni inako ni valutwani vakwe.
3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Linu Judasi, cha ku tambula chi kwata cha valwi ve inkondo ku zwilila ku va ku lwana va mapurisita ni ku Mafarisi, ni va sepahala, chi vakeza ni malambi ni matachi ni zilwiso.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek all of you?
Linu Jesu, ya vezi zintu zonse zi vali ku pangahala kwali, cha zwila havusu mi ni ku vavuza, “Njeni imu kaya vugana?”
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus says unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
Chiva mwi tava, “Jesu wa Nazareta.” Jesu cha wamba ku vali, “Njeme.” Judasi, ya va muveteki, naye vulyo ava zimene ni valwi ve inkondo.
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Mi ha wamba ku vali, “Njime,” chi va vola ni ku ka wila hansi.
7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek all of you? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
Linu hape cha va vuza, “Njeni imuka vugana?” Hape chi vati,” Jesu wa Nazareta.”
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore all of you seek me, let these go their way:
Jesu che tava, “Na mi wambila kuti Njeme. Haiva muka vugana ime, mu va siye ava vayende.”
9 That the saying (logos) might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them which you gave me have I lost none.
Ichi ivali mukulukela kwi zuzilikizwa linzwi lyava wambi: “Kwavo vo va nihi, Ka kwina nanga yenke ini va tondi.”
10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and stroke the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
Linu Simoni Pitolosi, ya vena mukwale, chi ku chomona ni kulenga ku kosola kutwi kwa chilyo kwa muhikana wa muprisita yo hanzi. Linu izina lya muhikana ivali nji Malko.
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
Jesu chati kwa Pitolosi, “Voze mukwale mu chivikilo chawo. Kana kete chi Ni ywa ikomoki iyo Itayo ya vanihi?”
12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
Mi chikwata cha valwi ve nkondo ni mu kulwana, ni va sepahali va Majunda, ni chi va kwata Jesu ni ku musumina.
13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
Chi va musoteza itanzi kwa Anna, kakuti ivali mukwenyani wa mukwame wa Kayafa, ya vali mupurisita yo hanzi mwe cho chilimo.
14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Linu Kayafa nji yena yava hi inkelezo ku Majuda kuti ku vena nenza kuti muntu yenke a fwile vantu.
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
Simoni Pitolosi che chilila Jesu, mi mwa va tendele ni zumwi mulutwana. Linu mulutwani uzo ave zivahele ku mupurisita yo hanzi, mi che njila ni Jesu mwi lapa lya mupurisita yo hanzi;
16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spoke unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
kono Pitolosi ava zimene ha mulyango hanze. Mi zumwi mulutwana, ya ve zivahele ku mupurisita yo hanzi, chi kuya hanze ku ka wamba ni muganteli wa mwanakazana ni ku leta Pitolosi mukati.
17 Then says the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He says, I am not.
Linu muhikana wa mwanakazana, muganteli, chati kwa Pitolosi, “Ka njewe zumwi wa valutwani vo zu muntu?” Chati, “Ka njeme.”
18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
Linu vahikana ni vasepahali va vazimene aho, mi ni va tenda mulilo wa makala, kakuti ku vali ku tontola, mi avo vene ni vali tukutisa. Pitolosi naye vulyo a vena navo, ava zimene aho na li tukutisa.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
Mu purisita yo hanzi cha vuza Jesu ku amana ni valutwani vakwe ni intuto zakwe.
20 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
Jesu cha mwi tava, “Ni va wambi he nkanza ku inkanda. Ni vali ku luta inako yonse mu masinagoge ni mwi tempele umo Majuda vonse va vali kwiza ha mwina. Ka kwina chi Ni wambi mu nkunutu.
21 Why ask you me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
Chizi ho ni vuza? U vuze avo va va ni zuwi zi ni va wambi. Lole avo vantu vezi zi Ni va wambi.”
22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answer you the high priest so?
Linu Jesu ha wamba ichi, zumwi uva sepahala ava zimene aho chi kudama Jesu infaindi ni kuti, “Mu wi tavila mupurisita yo hanzi vulyo?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smite you me?
Jesu cha mwi tava, “Haiva na wamba chi fosahele, he vupaki vu amana ni ku fosahala, kono haiva ku shieme, chizi ho ni kava?”
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
Linu Anna cha mutumina na suminwe kwa Kaefasi mupurisita yo hanzi.
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
Linu Simoni Pitolosi ya va zimene ni ku li tukutisa. Vantu linu chi vati kwali, “Kahena kuti u zumwi wa valutwani vakwe?” Cha kanana ni kuti, “Ka njeme.”
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see you in the garden with him?
Zumwi wa vahikana va mupurisita yo hanzi, ya vali mukwakwe wa mukwame sikutwi Pitolosi kwa va kosoli, chati, “Kana ni va ku voni naye mwiwa?”
27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
Pitolosi linu cha kanana hape, mi hahovulyo mukombwe chi wa lila.
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
Linu chi va soteza Jesu ku zwa kwa Kaefasi ku ya kwi maofesi makando a muvuso. Ivali ka kakusani ahulu, mi kana va venjili mwi lapa lya muvusisi ili kuti kanzi vali zuzi ikwe kono valye mukiti we Impaseka.
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring all of you against this man?
Linu Pilato cha zwila hanze ku vali mi chati, “Ku nyasa nzi ku mu leta ku amana no zu muntu?”
30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a villain, we would not have delivered him up unto you.
Chi vetava ni kuti kwali, “Haiva uzu muntu kana mutendi wa chivi, ni tusana tuva muleti kwako.”
31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take all of you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
Pilato linu chati ku vali, “Mu muhinde muvene, mi mu ka muatule cha kuya cha mulao wenu.” Majuda chi va wamba kwali, “Kana ka ku zu mi ninwe kwetu ku vika muntu yense mwifu.”
32 That the saying (logos) of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
Va va wambi izi ili kuti linzwi lya Jesu li zu zilikizwe lya va wambi ku tondeza mufuta we ifu lyesa nafwe.
33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Are you the King of the Jews?
Linu Pilato che njila mu maofesi makando a muvuso chi ku supa Jesu mi chati kwali, “Kana njewe Simwine wa Majuda?”
34 Jesus answered him, Say you this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of me?
Jesu che tava, “U wamba cha ku zwilila mwako, kapa cha vamwi va vaku wambili ku amana name?”
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you unto me: what have you done?
Pilato che tava, “Ka hena ni Mujuda, Njime? Vantu vako ni mapurisita va kando va va kuhi kwa ngu. U va chiti nzi?”
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from behind.
Jesu che tava, “Muvuso wangu ka hena weyi inkanda. Kamba muvuso wangu uvali we neku lye inu inkanda, linu vahikana vangu ni valwa ili kuti kanzi ni hewa ku Majuda. Kono hanu muvuso wangu ka wuzwi munu”
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
Pilato linu chati kwali, “Linu njewe simwine?” Jesu che tava, “U wamba kuti Njeme simwine. Lyeli nji ivaka li Ni va pepelwa, mi cheli ivaka li ni vezili mwi inkanda kuti ni vike vupaki cha vuniti. Yese yo wila ku vuniti utekeleza ku linzwi lyangu.”
38 Pilate says unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and says unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
Pilato chati kwali, Vuniti chi? Ha mana ku wamba izi, cha yenda hanze hape ku Majuda mi chati ku vali, kana na wana mulandu mo zu muntu.
39 But all of you have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will all of you therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
Kono mwina chizo cha kuti ni lukulule muntu yenke kwenu ha mukiti we Impaseka. Linu musaka kuti ni mi lukulwile Simwine wa Majuda?”
40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Linu chiva huweleza hape chi vati, “Isiñi uzu muntu, kono Banabasi.” Linu Banabasi ivali musa mukando.”
