John 18
1 When Jesus 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.
Che Yesu paŵamasile kupopela, ŵajombweche kasulo ka Keduloni pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao. Pelepo paliji ni ngunda wa mwana, nombe Che Yesu ŵajinjile mwelemo pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Che Yuda, ajula juŵangalawiche Che Yesu, ŵapamanyilile pelepo ligongo kaŵili kaŵili Che Yesu ŵasimene ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao kweleko.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Nipele che Yuda ŵajawile ku wele ngunda wo, ŵajawile pamo ni mpingo wa ŵangondo ŵa Chiloma ni ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ŵaŵalajiswe ni achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo, ali ajigele ibatali ni mimuli ni yakumenyanila.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
Che Yesu, akuno achimanyililaga ichiyasimane yose, ŵajaulile ni ŵausisye, “Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?”
5 They answered him, "Jesus the Nazorean." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti!” Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ndili une.” Che Yuda juŵangalawiche jula ŵajimi pelepo pamo ni ŵanyawo.
6 When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Nipele Che Yesu paŵaasalile, “Ndili une,” ŵanyawo ŵaujile panyuma ni kugwa.
7 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus the Nazorean."
Che Yesu ŵausisye sooni, “Ana nkwasosa ŵaani?” Ni ŵajanjile, “Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti!”
8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nansalile kuti ndili une. Iŵaga nkuusosa une, mwaleche ŵanyaŵa ajaule.”
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."
Ŵaŵechete yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe gagatite, “Atati, nganinanjasa mundu jwalijose mwa ŵeŵala umwambele.”
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
Che Simoni Petulo ŵakwete lipanga, nipele, ŵalisolomwele ni kwakata liwiwi lyao lya kundyo kapolo jwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu. Kapolo jo liina lyakwe che Maliko.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"
Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile che Petulo, “Mmusye lipanga lyenu mwigonelo mwakwe. Ana nkuganisya kuti nganguŵajilwa kugapata masausyo gaasachile Atati ŵangu kuti nagapate?”
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Jesus and bound him,
Wele mpingo wa ŵangondo ŵa Chiloma ni jwankulu jwao pamo ni ŵakulindilila ŵa Chiyahudi ŵankamwile Che Yesu ni kuntaŵa.
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Ŵanjigele ni kunjausya kaje ku che Anasi. Che Anasi ŵaliji akwegwao che Kayafa juŵaliji Jwambopesi Jwankulu chele chaka cho.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Che Kayafa ju ni jwejula juŵaasalile achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi kuti, ikuŵajilwa mundu jumo aweje kwaligongo lya ŵandu wose.
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
Che Simoni Petulo pamo ni jwakulijiganya jwine ŵakuiye Che Yesu. Jwakulijiganya jwine jo ŵamanyiche ku Jwambopesi Jwankulu, nipele ŵajinjile pamo ni Che Yesu pansana pao Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
16 but Peter 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 Peter.
Nambo che Petulo ŵajimi paasa, kuŵandikana ni nnango. Nipele, jwakulijiganya jwine juŵamanyiche kwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu jula ŵakopweche ni kuŵecheta nawo mwali jwakulindilila pannango, ni ŵansalile che Petulo ajinjile nkati.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."
Mwali jwakulindilila pannango jula ŵambusisye che Petulo, “Ana mmwejo nganimma jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵa mundu jo?” Che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ngaŵa une!”
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
Pakuŵa kaliji katema ka mbepo, achikapolo ni ŵakulindilila ŵakolesisye mooto ni ŵaliji nkuotanga. Che Petulo nombejo ŵajimi pamo nawo achijotelaga mooto.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵambusisye Che Yesu nkati ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni sooni nkati majiganyo gao.
20 Jesus 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.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Mechete yose pelanga ni ŵandu wose. Moŵa gose najiganisye mmajumba ga kupopelela ni pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, mwakusimanilana Ŵayahudi wose, ni nganimecheta chachili chose kwakulisisa.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."
Ligongo chi nkumusya une? Mwausye ŵandu ŵaŵapilikene indu inaasalile. Ŵelewo akwimanyilila inaŵechete.”
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"
Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo jumo jwao ŵakulindilila juŵajimi pelepo ŵamputile Che Yesu lijanda achitiji, “Uli, ana yelei ni inkuti pakunjanga Jwambopesi Jwankulu?”
23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Iŵaga mechete yangalumbana, nlosye changalumbana cho nambo iŵaga mechete yambone ana nkuumbutila ichichi?”
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Nipele che Anasi ŵanjigele Che Yesu ali ataŵikwe ni kunjausya ku che Kayafa Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
25 Now Simon Peter 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."
Nambo che Simoni Petulo ŵaliji pelepo alinkujotela mooto. Nipele ŵambusisye, “Ana mmwejo nombe nganimma jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao?” Che Petulo ŵakanile ni kuti, “Ngaŵa une!”
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
Jumo jwao achikapolo ŵa Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵaliji pelepo. Jweleju ni nlongo njakwe mundu jula juŵankatile liwiwi ni che Petulo, ŵambusisye, “Ana uneji nganinammona mmwejo mungunda wa mwana pamo ni Che Yesu?”
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Nambo che Petulo ŵakanile sooni, ni papopo tambala jatongwele.
28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas 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.
Kundaŵi pe ŵakulindilila ŵanjigele Che Yesu kopoka mu nyuumba ji Che Kayafa, ni kunjausya mu nyuumba ja mwenye jwa Chiloma. Nambo achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi nganajinjila nkati mwa nyuumba ja mwenye jwa Chiloma kuti aŵe ŵaswejele paujo pa Akunnungu kuti akombole kulya chakulya cha Pasaka.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
Che Pilato ŵakopweche paasa ni kwausya, “Ana kwana magambo chi kwa mundu ju?”
30 They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."
Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Mundu ju ngakaŵe ni magambo ngatukannyichenawo kukwenu.”
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,"
Che Pilato ŵaasalile, “Ayaga, munjigale mwachinsyene, nkanlamule ni malajisyo genu.” Ŵayahudi ŵajanjile, “Uweji ngatukuŵajilwa kunlamula mundu jwalijose chiwa.”
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Yatendekwe yeleyo kuti gamalile maloŵe ga Che Yesu gaŵasasile achilosyaga chachiwa chiwa chanti uli.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
Che Pilato ŵajinjile sooni mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵammilasile Che Yesu ni kwausya, “Ana mmwejo ni Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
34 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana gele maloŵe go genu, pane ŵandu ŵane ansalile ngani jangu?”
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?"
Che Pilato ŵajanjile, “Ana nkuganisya uneji ndili Myahudi? Ŵandu ŵenu ni achakulu ŵambopesi annyichisye mmwejo kukwangu. Ana ntesile ichichi?”
36 Jesus 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."
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Umwenye wangu nganiuŵa wa pachilambo pano. Ikaŵe umwenye wangu uli wa pachilambo pano, ŵakunguya akatesile ngondo kuti achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi anaangamule. Nambo sambano umwenye wangu nganiuŵa wa pachilambo pa.”
37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus 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."
Pelepo che Pilato ŵammusisye, “Ana mmwejo ndi Mwenye?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Mmwe nkuti uneji ndili Mwenye. Kwa ligongo lyo uneji mbagwile ni kwika pachilambo kukwasalila ŵandu usyene. Mundu jwalijose jwakuunonyela usyene akumbilikana.”
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.
Che Pilato ŵambusisye, “Usyene ni chichi?” Nipele che Pilato ŵakopweche paasa ni kwasalila Ŵayahudi, “Ngangugawona magambo gagaligose ga kunlamula mundu ju.
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?"
Nambo nkwete chisyoŵelo chakuti uneji ngungopolela jwantawe jumo katema ka Pasaka. Nipele ana nkusaka nangopolele Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi?”
40 Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
Pelepo ŵanyanyisye, “Ngaŵa, ngaŵa ajuju! Tukwasaka che Balaba!” Nombe che Balaba ŵaliji jwachiswamba.
