John 18
1 When Jesus had said this, he went out with his disciples and crossed the Kidron ravine to a place where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples went.
UYesu ye amalile pikufuunya, akavuuka palikimo na vavulanisivua vaake, vakakila uluvonde ulwa Keduloni, vakingila mumughundo ughwa miseituni.
2 The place was well known to Judas, the betrayer, for Jesus and his disciples had often met there.
UYuuda unya kumwohela uYesu, alyaghumanyile umughunda ughuo, ulwakuva kekinga uYesu na vavulanisivua vaake vakakong'hanagha apuo.
3 So Judas, who had obtained the soldiers of the Roman garrison, and some guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Pe akakilongosia ikipugha kya vasikali na valoleleli kuhuma ku vavaha va vatekesi na ku Vafalisayi, akaluta navo mu mughunda kumo vakolile itaala, imuli ni filwilo.
4 Jesus, aware of all that was coming upon him, went to meet them, and said to them, “For whom are you looking?”
UYesu alyakagwile sooni sino kyasikumwagha, akaluta kuveene, akavaposia akati, “Mukumulonda veeni?”
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” was their answer. “I am he,” said Jesus. (Judas, the betrayer, was also standing with them.)
Pe aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Tukumulonda uYesu uMunasaleti.” UYesu akavavuula akati, “Neene” UYuda umwohesi alyimimile palikimo na vaanhu avuo.
6 When Jesus said ‘I am he,’ they drew back and fell to the ground.
UYesu ye avavulile kuuti, “Neene” vakagomoka kinsana nsana vakaghua.
7 So he again asked for whom they were looking, and they answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Kange akavaposia akati, “Mukumulonda veeni?” Vakamwamula vakati, “Tukumulonda uYesu uMunasaleti.”
8 “I have already told you that I am he,” replied Jesus, “so, if it is for me that you are looking, let these people go.”
UYesu akavamula akati, “Nivavulile kuuti neene. Lino nave mukundonda une, muvaleke avaanhu ava valutaghe.”
9 This was in fulfillment of his words – ‘Of those whom you have given me I have not lost one.’
UYesu akajovile enendiiki kukwilanisia sino alyajovile kuuti, “Vano ulyamheliile nanisofisie nambe jumo.
10 At this, Simon Peter, who had a sword with him, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
USimoni uPeteli alyale ni bamba, akasomola, akadumula imbulughutu ija kundio ija m'bombi ughwa ntekesi um'baha. Um'bombi ujuo akatambuluagha Maluko.
11 But Jesus said to Peter, “Sheathe your sword. Should I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?”
Neke uYesu akam'buula uPeteli akati, “Gomosia ibamba jaako mu nyambe. Une ninoghiile kukwupila ulupumuko luno uNhaata anding'hanikisie?”
12 So the soldiers of the garrison, with their commanding officer and the Jewish guards, arrested Jesus and bound him,
Avasikali vala nu mbaha ghwave na valoleleli va valongosi va Vayahudi vakankola uYesu, vakankunga.
13 and took him first of all to Annas. Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Vakantwala taasi kwa Hanasi, unkwive ghwa Kayafa. UKayafa ujuo alyale ghwe ntekesi umbaha unsiki ughuo.
14 It was Caiaphas who had counseled the religious authorities, that it was best that one person should die for the people.
Kange ghwe juno alyavavuulile aVayahudi kuuti, lunoghile umuunhu jumo afue vwimila avaanhu vooni.
15 Meanwhile Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. That disciple, being well-known to the high priest, went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,
USimoni uPeteli nu m'bulanisivua ujunge vakava vikum'bingilila uYesu mumbele. Umbulanisivua ujunge ujuo, alyakaguliike nu ntekesi um'baha, akingila palikimo nu Yesu muluviika ulwa ntekesi umbaha.
16 while Peter stood outside by the door. Presently the other disciple – the one well-known to the high priest – went out and spoke to the portress, and brought Peter in.
Nene uPeteli akiima akiima paanji pa mulyango, Umbulanisivua ujunge jula juno alyakaguliike nu ntekesi umbaha, akahuma panji akajova nu mhinja juno alyale ikuvadindulila avaanhu umulyango, pe akamwitikisia uPeteli kukwingila muluviika.
17 So the maidservant said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “No, I am not,” he said.
Umhinja jula akamposia uPeteli akati, “Asi, uve nuli umo ghwa vavulanisivua va muunhu uju?” UPeteli akamwamula akati, “Ndali, une nanili m'bulanisivua ghwake.”
18 The servants and guards were standing around a charcoal fire (which they had made because it was cold), and were warming themselves. Peter, too, was with them, standing and warming himself.
Avavombi na valoleleli valyapembile umwoto ulwakuva jilyale mhepo, vakava vikwota. Ghwope uPeteli akava palikimo na veene ikwota umwoto.
19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Untekesi um'baha akamposia uYesu vwimila avavulanisivua vaake ni mbulanisio saake.
20 “For my part,” answered Jesus, “I have spoken to all the world openly. I always taught in some synagogue, or in the Temple Courts, places where everyone assembles, and I never spoke of anything in secret.
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Une najovaghe na vaanhu pavuvalafu, ifighono fyoni navulanisyagha mu masinagogi na Nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, muno vikong'hana aVayahudi vooni. Nanajovagha nambe lisio limonga ku vusyefu.
21 Why question me? Question those who have listened to me as to what I have spoken about to them. They must know what I said.”
Lino kiki ghukumhosia une? Uvaposie vano vapulikagha, aveene vakagwile sino najovagha.
22 When Jesus said this, one of the guards, who was standing near, gave him a blow with his hand. “Do you answer the high priest like that?” he exclaimed.
UYesu ye ajovile isio, umo mu valoleleli juno alyale piipi nu mwene, akantova ni lipi akati, “kiki ukumwamula enendiiki untekesi um'baha?”
23 “If I said anything wrong, give evidence about it,” replied Jesus, “but if not, why do you strike me?”
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Nave nijovile fivi, jova uvuviivi vwango. Neke nave nijovile vunofu, kiki ghukunova?”
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
UYesu ye ajiighe akungilue, uAnasi akalaghila kuuti atwalue kwa ntekesi um'baha uKayafa.
25 Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing there, warming himself; so they said to him, “Aren’t you also one of his disciples?” Peter denied it. “No, I am not,” he said.
Lino uPeteli ye ikwota umwoto, vamo mu vano valyale vikwota umwoto vakamposia vakati, “Asi uve nuli umo mu vavulanisivua va muunhu uju?” Umwene akakaana akati, 'Ndali, une nanili m'bulanisivua ghwake.”
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relation of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, exclaimed, “Didn’t I myself see you with him in the garden?”
Neke umo mu vuvombi va ntekesi um'baha, juno alyale nyalukolo ghwa muunhu jula juno uPeteli akan'dumwile imbulughutu akamposia akati, “Asi, naveeve nivele nikwaghile uli palikimo nu Yesu mu mughunda?”
27 Peter again denied it; and at that moment a cock crowed.
UPeteli akakaana kange, nakalingi ing'hongove jikavika.
28 From Caiaphas they took Jesus to the Government house. It was early in the morning. But they did not enter the Government house themselves, otherwise they might become defiled, and so be unable to eat the Passover.
Palwakilo, vakantoola uYesu kuhuma kwa Kayafa, vakantwala munyumba ija kitwa ija ntwa ghwa Valooma. Neke aveene navakingili munyumba ijio, ulwakuva vangingile viiva valamafu. Mu uluo navaale vilia ikyakulia ikyimike ikya Pasaka.
29 Therefore Pilate came outside to speak to them. “What charge do you bring against this man?” he asked.
Pe untwa uPilato akahuma kunji, akavaposia akati, “Asi, umuunhu uju avombile vuhosi vuki vuno mukumhigha?”
30 “If he had not been a criminal, we should not have given him up to you,” they answered.
Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Umuunhu uju, aale ave namhosi, natwale tukumuleeta kulyuve.”
31 “Take him yourselves,” said Pilate, “and try him by your own Law.” “We have no power to put anyone to death,” the authorities replied –
UPilato akavavuula akati, “Lino muntoole jumue, mukamhighe ndavule silungika indaghilo siinu.” Avayahudi vakamwamula vakati, 'Usue natuli nu vutavulilua uvwa kumhigha umuunhu kuuti abudue.
32 in fulfillment of what Jesus had said when indicating the death that he was destined to die.
Isio silyavombike enendiiki kukwilanisia sino alyajovile uYesu vule ilifua.
33 After that, Pilate went into the Government house again, and calling Jesus up, asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
UPilato akagomoka munkate mu nyumba ija kitwa, akankemeela uYesu akamposia akati, “Asi, uve veeve ntwa ghwa Vayahudi?”
34 “Do you ask me that yourself?” replied Jesus, “or did others say it to you about me?”
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Sino ghukumhosia, sihuma mu masaaghe ghaako juuve, pamo avaanhu avange vakwomwile kuuti umhosie?”
35 “Do you take me for a Jew?” was Pilate’s answer. “It is your own nation and the chief priests who have given you up to me. What have you done?”
UPilato akamwamula akati, “Nili Muyahudi une? Avaanu kuhuma mukisina kyako, na vavaha va vatekesi ve vano vakuletile kulyune. Uvombile kiki?
36 “My kingly power,” replied Jesus, “is not due to this world. If it had been so, my servants would be doing their utmost to prevent my being given up to the authorities; but my kingly power is not from the world.”
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Uvutwa vwango navwa mu iisi muno, vwale vuve vwa mu iisi muno avavombi vango vaale vikunhanga kuuti nileke kukolua na Vayahudi. Neke lino uvutwa vwango navwa mu iisi muno.”
37 “So you are a king after all!” exclaimed Pilate. “Yes, it is true I am a king,” answered Jesus. “I was born for this, I have come into the world for this – to bear testimony to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to my voice.”
Pe uPilato akamposia akati, “Kwe kuti uve uli ntwa?” UYesu akamwamula akati, “Ujovile seseene kuuti une nili ntwa. Une nilyaholilue mu iisi, kuuti nivavulanisie avaanhu uvwakyang'haani. Umuunhu juno ivingilila uvwakyang'haani, ikumhulikisia.”
38 “What is truth?” exclaimed Pilate. After saying this, he went out to the crowd again, and said, “For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.
UPilato akamosia akati, “Uvwakyang'haani kyekiki?” UPilato ye ajovile isio, akahuma kange kunji, akavavuula aVayahudi akati, “Une nanikuvuvona uvuhosi kwa muunu uju.
39 It is, however, the custom for me to grant you the release of one man at the Passover Festival. Do you wish for the release of the king of the Jews?”
Neke umue muli nu luno lukumhelela une kukun'dindulilia unkungua jumo ikighono ikya kyimike kya Pasaka. Asi, mulonda nin'dindulile untwa ghwa Vayahudi?”
40 “No, not this man,” they shouted again, “but Barabbas!” This Barabbas was a robber.
Neke avaanhu vooni vakoova vakati, “Ndali ujuo ndali, utudindulile uBalaba.” uBalaba ujuo, alyale mhijimbudi.
