John 18
1 When Yeshua had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the wadi of the Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
Yesu atamaliza kupemphera, Iye anachoka ndi ophunzira ake ndi kuwoloka chigwa cha Kidroni. Kumbali inayo kunali munda wa Olivi, ndipo Iye ndi ophunzira ake analowamo.
2 Now Yehudah, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua often met there with his disciples.
Tsopano Yudasi, amene anamupereka amadziwa malowo chifukwa Yesu ankakumana ndi ophunzira ake kumeneko.
3 Yehudah then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Choncho Yudasi anabwera ku munda, akutsogolera gulu la asilikali ndi akuluakulu ena ochokera kwa akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi. Iwo anali atanyamula miyuni, nyale ndi zida.
4 Yeshua therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
Yesu, podziwa zonse zimene zimati zichitike kwa Iye, anatuluka ndi kuwafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukufuna ndani?”
5 They answered him, "Yeshua the Natsraya." Yeshua said to them, "I AM." Yehudah also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Yesu wa ku Nazareti.” Yesu anati, “Ndine.” (Ndipo Yudasi womuperekayo anali atayima nawo pamenepo).
6 When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Pamene Yesu anati, “Ndine,” iwo anabwerera mʼmbuyo ndi kugwa pansi.
7 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Yeshua the Natsraya."
Iye anawafunsanso kuti, “Kodi mukumufuna ndani?” Ndipo iwo anati, “Yesu wa ku Nazareti.”
8 Yeshua answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ine ndakuwuzani kuti Ndine. Ngati inu mukufuna Ine, asiyeni anthu awa apite.”
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."
Izi zinachitika kuti mawu amene Iye anayankhula akwaniritsidwe: “Ine sindinataye ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa iwo amene mwandipatsa.”
10 Shimon Kipha therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malek.
Kenaka Simoni amene anali ndi lupanga analitulutsa ndi kutema nalo wantchito wa wamkulu wa ansembe, nadula khutu lake la kudzanja lamanja. (Dzina la wantchitoyo ndi Makusi).
11 Yeshua therefore said to Kipha, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"
Yesu analamula Petro kuti, “Bwezera lupanga mʼchimake! Kodi Ine ndisamwere chikho chimene Atate andipatsa?”
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Yeshua and bound him,
Kenaka gulu la asilikali ndi olamulira wawo ndi akuluakulu a Ayuda anamugwira Yesu. Iwo anamumanga.
13 and led him to Khanan first, for he was father-in-law to Qayapha, who was high priest that year.
Poyamba anapita naye kwa Anasi amene anali mkamwini wa Kayafa, mkulu wa ansembe chaka chimenecho.
14 Now it was Qayapha who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Kayafa anali amene analangiza Ayuda kuti kukanakhala kwabwino ngati munthu mmodzi akanafera anthu.
15 Shimon Kipha followed Yeshua, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Yeshua into the court of the high priest;
Simoni Petro ndi ophunzira wina ankamutsatira Yesu chifukwa ophunzira uyu amadziwika kwa mkulu wa ansembe. Iye analowa ndi Yesu mʼbwalo la mkulu wa ansembe
16 but Kipha was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Kipha.
koma Petro anadikira kunja pa khomo. Ophunzira winayo amene amadziwika kwa mkulu wa ansembe, anatuluka ndi kuyankhula ndi mtsikana amene anali mlonda wa pa khomo ndi kumulowetsa Petro.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Kipha, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."
Mtsikanayo anafunsa Petro kuti, “Kodi iwe sindiwe mmodzi wa ophunzira a Munthu uyu?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ayi, sindine.”
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Kipha was with them, standing and warming himself.
Popeza kunkazizira, anyamata antchito ndi akuluakulu ena anasonkha moto wamakala namawotha atayimirira mozungulira. Petro nayenso anayimirira pamodzi ndi iwo namawotha nawo motowo.
19 The high priest therefore asked Yeshua about his disciples, and about his teaching.
Pa nthawi imeneyi, mkulu wa ansembe anamufunsa Yesu za ophunzira ake ndi chiphunzitso chake.
20 Yeshua answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jewish people come together. I said nothing in secret.
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ine ndinayankhula poyera ku dziko lapansi. Nthawi zonse ndimaphunzitsa mʼsunagoge kapena mʼNyumba ya Mulungu kumene Ayuda onse amasonkhana pamodzi. Ine sindimanena kanthu mseri.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."
Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukundifunsa Ine? Afunseni amene amamva. Zoonadi akudziwa zimene Ine ndinanena.”
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Yeshua with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"
Yesu atanena izi, mmodzi wa akuluakulu amene anali pafupi anamumenya kumaso. Iye anafunsa kuti, “Mayankhidwe awa ndi woti ndi kuyankha mkulu wa ansembe?”
23 Yeshua answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngati Ine ndanena kanthu kolakwika, chitirani umboni chimene ndalakwa. Koma ngati ndanena zoona, nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandimenya?”
24 Khanan sent him bound to Qayapha, the high priest.
Kenaka Anasi anamutumiza Iye, ali womangidwabe, kwa Kayafa, mkulu wa ansembe.
25 Now Shimon Kipha was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."
Pamene Simoni Petro anali chiyimirire kuwotha moto, anafunsidwa kuti, “Kodi iwe si mmodzi wa ophunzira ake?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ayi, sindine.”
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Kipha had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
Mmodzi wa antchito a mkulu wa ansembe, mʼbale wa munthu amene anadulidwa khutu ndi Petro anamutsutsa iye kuti, “Kodi sindinakuone iwe pamodzi ndi Iye mʼmunda muja?”
27 Kipha therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Petro anakananso, ndipo pa nthawi yomweyo tambala analira.
28 They led Yeshua therefore from Qayapha into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Kenaka Ayuda anamutenga Yesu kuchoka kwa Kayafa ndi kupita ku nyumba yaufumu ya bwanamkubwa wa Chiroma. Tsopano kunali mmamawa, ndipo polewa kudetsedwa monga mwa mwambo Ayuda sanalowe mʼnyumba yaufumuyo; iwo anafuna kuti adye Paska.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
Choncho Pilato anatuluka napita kwa iwo ndipo anati, “Kodi ndi milandu yanji imene mukumuzenga munthu uyu?”
30 They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ngati Iye akanakhala kuti si wolakwa, ife sitikanamupereka kwa inu.”
31 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jewish leaders said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
Pilato anati, “Mutengeni inu eni ake ndi kumuweruza Iye monga mwa malamulo anu.” Ayuda anatsutsa nati, “Koma tilibe ulamuliro wakupha aliyense.”
32 that the word of Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Izi zinachitika kuti mawu a Yesu amene anayankhula kusonyeza mtundu wa imfa imene Iye anati adzafe nayo akwaniritsidwe.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
Kenaka Pilato anapita mʼkati mwa nyumba yaufumu nayitanitsa Yesu, ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi iwe ndi mfumu ya Ayuda?”
34 Yeshua answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
Yesu anafunsa kuti, “Kodi amenewo ndi maganizo anu wokha? Kapena kuti ena anakuwuzani za Ine?”
35 Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"
Pilato anayankha kuti, “Kodi iwe ukuganiza kuti ine ndine Myuda? Ndi anthu ako ndi akulu a ansembe ako amene akupereka iwe kwa ine. Kodi walakwanji?”
36 Yeshua answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jewish leaders. But now my Kingdom is not from here."
Yesu anati, “Ufumu wanga si wa dziko lapansi lino. Ukanakhala wa pansi pano, antchito anga akanachita nkhondo kulepheretsa Ayuda kundigwira. Koma tsopano ufumu wanga ndi wochokera kumalo ena.”
37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Yeshua answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."
Pilato anati, “Kani ndiwe mfumu!” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Inu mwalondola ponena kuti, Ine ndine mfumu. Kunena zoona, Ine ndinabadwa chifukwa cha chimenechi, ndipo nʼchifukwa chake ndinabwera mʼdziko lapansi, kudzachitira umboni choonadi. Aliyense amene ali mbali yachoonadi amamvera mawu anga.”
38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jewish leaders, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Kodi choonadi nʼchiyani?” Ndi mawu awa iye anapitanso kwa Ayuda ndipo anati, “Ine sindikupeza mlandu mwa Iye.
39 But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
Koma ndi mwambo wanu kuti pa nthawi ya Paska, ine ndikumasulireni wamʼndende mmodzi. Kodi mufuna ndikumasulireni ‘Mfumu ya Ayuda?’”
40 Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Bar-Aba." Now Bar-Aba was a robber.
Iwo anafuwula nati, “Ameneyu ayi! Mutipatse ife Baraba!” Barabayo anali wachifwamba.
