John 18
1 Having said these things, Jesus went forth with His disciples beyond the Brook of Kidron, where [there] was a garden, into which He entered, Himself and His disciples,
Jesuh ktaiyü law päng se axüisaw he am Kidron Lawngca caye da va citkie. Acuna hnüna ngvawng veki, acun üng axüisaw he am atänga lutkie.
2 and Judas also, who delivered Him up, had known the place, because Jesus assembled there with His disciples many times.
Jesuh cun axüisaw he am acuna hnüna khawvei cit khawikiea kyase, cengkia Judah Iskarot naw acuna hnün cun ksingki.
3 Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with torches and lamps, and weapons;
Judah ngvawng da citki. Romah yekape, ktaiyü ngvaie ja Pharisee naw ami jah tüi law Temple ngängkia khyange avang jah lawpüi se, mthikcime, meiim ja ngtukmei jah kawteikie cun acuia a jah lawpüi.
4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming on Him, having gone forth, said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
Jesuh naw a khana pha law khai naküt jah ksingei lü, va cit lü, “U nami suiki ni?” a ti.
5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene”; Jesus says to them, “I AM”; and Judas who delivered Him up was standing with them.
Amimi naw, “Nazaret Jesuh,” ni ami ti. Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni” a ti. Cengkia Judah pi ami ksunga ngdüi hngaki.
6 When, therefore, He said to them, “I AM,” they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni” a ti ja, ami hnua ngnawn u lü mdeka kyukie.
7 Again, therefore, He questioned them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene”;
Jesuh naw, “U nami suiki ni?” ti lü a jah kthäh betü. Amimi naw, “Nazaret Jesuh” ami ti.
8 Jesus answered, “I said to you that I AM; if, then, you seek Me, permit these to go away”;
Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni, ti lü ka ning jah mtheh päng; kei nami na suikia a kyak üng akce he cit u se” a ti.
9 that the word might be fulfilled that He said, “Those whom You have given to Me, I did not lose even one of them.”
(Acun cun, “Nang naw na na jah pet mat pi käh ka mkhyüh khai ni” ti lü a ngthu pyen akümnak vaia kyaki.)
10 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear—and the name of the servant was Malchus—
Sihmon Pita naw kcim a kbahei kset lü Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha mpyaa nghnga khet da a ksawm pat. Acuna mpyaa ngming cun Malakhuha kyaki.
11 Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father has given to Me, may I not drink it?”
Jesuh naw Pita üng, “Kcim a im üng xawn bea; ka Pa naw a na peta khuikhatnak khawt hin am ka aw khai aw?” a ti.
12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound Him,
Acunüng, Romah yekape ja Temple ngängkia Judah khyange naw Jesuh man u lü, khitkie naw,
13 and they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
Annaa veia ami cehpüi ma u. Anna cun acuna kum üng Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih Kaiphaha pupua kyaki.
14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews that it is good for one man to perish for the people.
Kaiphah cun, “Khyang khawhaha phäh khyang mat a thih daw bawki” ti lü, Judah ngvaie jah mthehkia khyanga kyaki.
15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus into the hall of the chief priest,
Sihmon Pita ja axüisaw he üngka mat naw Jesuh läki xawi. Acuna axüisaw üngka mat cun Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih naw ksingki; Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha im ngvawng mkawt k’uma Jesuh am lutki xawi.
16 and Peter was standing at the door outside, therefore the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went forth, and he spoke to the doorkeeper, and he brought in Peter.
Acunsepi Pita cun khawkpung mkawt peia ngdüiki. Acunüng axüisaw kce mat va nghlat be lü mkawt ksawh ngängki nghnumica kthäh lü Pita a luh lawpüi.
17 Then the maid, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you also of the disciples of this Man?” He says, “I am not”;
Mkawt ksawh ngängkia nghnumica naw Pita üng, “Nang pi ania xüisawa am na kyaki aw?” a ti. “Am ni nawng” Pita naw a ti.
18 and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
Khawsikia kyase, mpyae ja Romah yekape naw mei tik lü ngdüi lü mei omkie. Pita pi ami hlawnga va ngdüi lü mei awmei hngaki.
19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching;
Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih naw axüisaw hea mawng ja a jah mtheia mawng Jesuh üng a kthäh.
20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke freely to the world, I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret;
Jesuh naw msang lü, “Ngthu ka pyen üng khyanga hmuh ngjaka va ka pyenki. Sinakok ja Judahea ami ngbumnak Templea ka jah mthei khawiki, khyange pi ngcun lawkie, ampyua i am pyen khawi nawng.
21 why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known what I said.”
“Ise na na kthäh ni? Ami veia ka ngthu pyena mawng cun ka ngthu ngjakie jah kthäha; acune naw i ka pyen ksingki he” a ti.
22 And He having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Thus do You answer the chief priest?”
Acun a pyen üng a peia ngdüiki, yekap mat naw Jesuh kbei lü, “Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih ahikba na msangki aw?” a ti.
23 Jesus answered him, “If I spoke ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why do you strike Me?”
Jesuh naw, “Ka pyen mkhye a ve üng ahin üng veki naküt üng jah mtheha. Ka pyen cangki ani üng, ise na na kbeiki ni?” a ti.
24 Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
Acunüng Anna naw Jesuh a ngkhihnak mahmaha Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih Kaiphah a veia a tüih.
25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, then they said to him, “Are you also of His disciples?” He denied and said, “I am not.”
Sihmon Pita ngdüi lü mei om ham se, khyang kce he naw, “Nang pi ania xüisawa am na kyaki aw?” ami ti üng, “Am ni nawng,” ti lü, ngcim betüki.
26 One of the servants of the chief priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha a mpya Pita naw a nghnga a ksawm pata a mjükphyüi mat naw, “Ani am ngvawnga ve niki se ka ning jah hmuh am ni mä?” a ti.
27 Again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Pita a ngcim betü ja; ainghlüi khawngki.
28 They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover;
Khawa ngawi law üng, Jesuh Kaiphaha im üngkhyüh sangpuxanga Bawingawhnaka ami cehpüi u. Judah ngvaie cun sangpuxanga Bawingawhnaka am lut u. Lätnak Pawi buh ami einak thei vaia, ngcingcaihnak am amimät ami ve vaia phäh kyaki.
29 Pilate, therefore, went forth to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
Acunüng, Pilat akpunga lut law lü, “Hina khana i nami mkatnak ve se aw?” a ti.
30 They answered and said to him, “If He were not doing evil, we had not delivered Him to you.”
Amimi naw, “Hin hin khyangkaa am a ni üng na veia am lawpüi sawxat u nawng” ti lü ami msang.
31 Pilate, therefore, said to them, “Take Him—you—and judge Him according to your law”; the Jews, therefore, said to him, “It is not lawful to us to put anyone to death”;
Pilat naw, “Namimät naw cehpüi u lü, nami thuma kba cijang ua,” a ti. Judah mkhawnge naw, “Kami ngaiha u hnim vaia thum am ve” ami ti.
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which He said, signifying by what death He was about to die.
(Acun cun a thih vaia mawng Jesuh naw a pyena mäiha akümnak law vaia kyaki.)
33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?”
Pilat naw Bawingawhnaka lut be lü Jesuh khüki naw, “Nang Judahea sangpuxanga na kyaki aw?” ti lü a kthäh.
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this from yourself? Or did others say it to you about Me?”
Jesuh naw, “Hina ngthu hin namäta mlung üngka naw lut lawki aw. Am ani üng ka mawngma khyange naw ning mtheh u se na pyen aw?” ti lü a kthäh be.
35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests delivered You up to me; what did You do?”
Pilat naw, “Kei Judah khyanga na ngaih aw? Namäta khyang mjüe ja ktaiyü ngvaie naw ka kut üng ami na msum lawa na kyaki. Ia mkhyenak na pawh ni?” ti lü a msang.
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, My officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
Jesuh naw, “Ka khaw ta hina khawmdek üng am sängei; ka khaw hin hina khawmdek üng a sängei vai sü ta ka hnukläke naw Judah ngvaiea kut üngkhyüh na yung khaie sü; ka khaw hin hina khawmdeka am ni” ti lü a pyen.
37 Pilate, therefore, said to Him, “Are You then a king?” Jesus answered, “You say [it], because I am a king; I have been born for this, and I have come into the world for this, that I may testify to the truth; everyone who is of the truth, hears My voice.”
Pilat naw, “Acunüng, nang sangpuxang aw?” ti se, Jesuh naw, “Ä, na pyena mäiha kei sangpuxang ni. Ka hmi lawnak ja khawmdek khana ka lawnak hin ngthungtak saksinak vaia phäha kyaki. Au pi ngthungtak üng sängeiki naküt naw ka ngthu ngaiki” a ti.
38 Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?” And having said this, again he went forth to the Jews and says to them, “I find no fault in Him;
Pilat naw Jesuh üng, “Ngthungtak cun i ni?” a ti. Acuna ngthu a pyen päng ja Judahea veia cit lü, “Thihnak awng vaia mkhyenak ani üng am hmu veng,
39 and you have a custom that I will release to you one in the Passover; do you determine, therefore, [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
acunsepi Lätnak Pawi k’um üng thawng kyum mat ka ning jah mhlät pet vaia thum nami taki. Acunakyase, Judahea sangpuxang hin ka ning jah mhlät pet vaia nami ngaiki aw?” a ti.
40 Therefore they all cried out again, saying, “Not this One—but Barabbas”; and Barabbas was a robber.
Amimi naw ngpyang u lü, “Ani käh mhläta. Barabah jah mhlät peta” ami ti. (Barabah cun mawa ve lü kcim kcei bikia mpyukeia kyaki.)
