John 18
1 These things spake Jesus, and went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’afuluma n’abayigirizwa be, ne balaga emitala w’akagga Kidulooni. Mu kifo ekyo mwalimu ennimiro y’emizeeyituuni, Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne bayingira omwo.
2 And Judas also, the betrayer, knew the place; because Jesus often there met with his disciples.
Yuda, eyamulyamu olukwe, ekifo ekyo yali akimanyi, kubanga Yesu yagendangayo emirundi mingi ng’ali n’abayigirizwa be.
3 Then Judas received a regiment, and from the presence of the chief priests and Pharisees he had officials; and he came to the place with lanterns and lamps and weapons.
Awo Yuda n’ajja mu kifo ekyo ng’ali n’ekibinja ky’abaserikale, n’abaweereza ba Bakabona abakulu n’ab’Abafalisaayo. Bajja nga balina ettaala n’emimuli n’ebyokulwanyisa.
4 And Jesus, as he knew every thing that was to befall him, went forth and said to them: Whom seek ye?
Yesu bwe yamanya byonna ebyali bigenda okumubaako, n’avaayo n’ababuuza nti, “Munoonya ani?”
5 They say to him: Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus said to them: I am he. And Judas the betrayer was also standing with them.
Ne baddamu nti, “Tunoonya Yesu Omunnazaaleesi.” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ye Nze,” Yuda, eyamulyamu olukwe, yali ayimiridde nabo.
6 And when Jesus said to them, I am he, they drew back and fell upon the ground.
Yesu bwe yabagamba nti, “Ye Nze” ne badda emabega ne bagwa wansi.
7 And again Jesus asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus the Nazarean.
Yesu n’ababuuza omulundi ogwokubiri nti, “Munoonya ani?” Ne baddamu nti, “Yesu Omunnazaaleesi.”
8 Jesus said to them: I have told you that I am he; and if ye seek me, let these go away:
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mbabuulidde nti, Ye Nze. Kale obanga munoonya Nze, bano mubaleke bagende.”
9 that the speech might be fulfilled, which he uttered: Of them, whom thou hast given me, I have lost not even one.
Yakola kino, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire ekigamba nti, “Abo be wampa saabuzaako n’omu.”
10 And Simon Cephas had upon him a sword; and he drew it, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the servant's name was Malchus.
Awo Simooni Peetero, eyalina ekitala, n’akisowolayo, n’atema omuddu wa Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’amusalako okutu okwa ddyo. Erinnya ly’omuddu oyo nga ye Maluko.
11 And Jesus said to Cephas: Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Yesu n’alagira Peetero nti, “Zza ekitala mu kiraato kyakyo. Ekikompe Kitange ky’ampadde, siikinywe?”
12 Then the regiment and the chiliarchs and the officials of the Jews laid hold of Jesus, and bound him;
Awo ekibinja ky’abaserikale n’omuduumizi waabwe n’abaweereza b’Abayudaaya, ne bakwata Yesu ne bamusiba.
13 and they led him first to the presence of Annas; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest of that year.
Ne bamutwala ewa Ana, eyali mukoddomi wa Kayaafa, Kabona Asinga Obukulu mu mwaka ogwo.
14 And it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews, that it was expedient, one man should die for the people.
Kayaafa oyo, y’oli eyawa Abayudaaya amagezi nti, “Kirungi omuntu omu afiirire bonna.”
15 And Simon Cephas and one other of the disciples went after Jesus. And that other disciple knew the high priest; and he entered with Jesus into the hall.
Simooni Peetero n’omuyigirizwa omulala eyali amanyiddwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu, ne bagoberera Yesu. Omuyigirizwa oyo eyali amanyiddwa n’agoberera Yesu mu luggya lwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu,
16 But Simon stood without at the door; and that other disciple, who knew the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Simon.
nga Peetero ye ayimiridde wabweru ku mulyango; omuyigirizwa oyo omulala bwe yayogera n’omuggazi w’oluggi n’ayingiza Peetero.
17 And the maid who kept the door, said to Simon: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? And he said: I am not.
Omuwala omuggazi n’abuuza Peetero nti, “Naawe oli omu ku bayigirizwa b’omuntu oyo?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Nedda.”
18 And the servants and officials were standing, and had placed a fire to warm themselves
Obudde bwali bwa mpewo, abaddu n’abaweereza baali bakumye omuliro nga boota, ne Peetero naye ng’ayimiridde nabo ng’ayota omuliro.
19 And the high priest interrogated Jesus respecting his disciples, and respecting his doctrine.
Awo Ana eyaliko Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’abuuza Yesu ebifa ku bayigirizwa be ne ku kuyigiriza kwe.
20 And Jesus said to him: I have discoursed openly with the people, and have at all times taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble; and I have uttered nothing in private.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Nayogeranga lwatu eri ensi, bulijjo n’ayigirizanga mu makuŋŋaaniro ne mu Yeekaalu, Abayudaaya bonna mwe bakuŋŋaanira, soogeranga kintu na kimu mu kyama.
21 Why dost thou interrogate me? Ask them who have heard, what I said to them: lo, they know what I have said.
Lwaki obuuza Nze? Buuza abo abaawuliranga bye njogera. Bamanyi bye nnaayogera.”
22 And as he said these things, one of the officials standing by, smote the cheek of Jesus, and said to him: Givest thou such an answer to the high priest?
Yesu bwe yayogera ekyo omu ku baweereza eyali ayimiridde awo n’amukuba oluyi n’amugamba nti, “Oddamu otyo Kabona Asinga Obukulu?”
23 Jesus replied, and said to him: If I have spoken evil bear witness of that evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Obanga njogedde bubi kinnumirize ekibi, naye obanga kirungi, kale onkubira ki?”
24 Now Annas had sent Jesus bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Awo Ana n’aweereza Yesu nga musibe eri Kayaafa Kabona Asinga Obukulu.
25 And Simon Cephas was standing and warming himself; and they said to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? And he denied, and said: I am not.
Mu kiseera ekyo Simooni Peetero yali ayimiridde ng’ayota omuliro. Ne bamubuuza nti, “Naawe oli omu ku bayigirizwa ba Yesu?” N’abaddamu nti, “Nedda.”
26 And one of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of him whose ear Simon cut off, said to him: Did I not see thee with him in the garden?
Awo omu ku baddu ba Kabona Asinga Obukulu, muganda w’oyo Peetero gwe yasalako okutu, n’amubuuza nti, “Saakulabye naye mu nnimiro?”
27 And again Simon denied: and at that moment the cock crew.
Peetero n’addamu okwegaana. Amangwago enkoko n’ekookolima.
28 And they led Jesus from the presence of Caiaphas unto the Praetorium; and it was morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium, lest they should defile themselves before they had eaten the passover.
Awo Abayudaaya ne baggya Yesu ewa Kayaafa ne bamutwala mu lubiri lwa gavana Omuruumi. Obudde bwali bwakakya, ne batayingira mu lubiri baleme okusobya omukolo ogw’okwetukuza, si kulwa nga basubwa okulya Embaga y’Okuyitako.
29 And Pilate went forth to them without, and said to them: What accusation have ye against this man?
Awo Piraato n’afuluma ebweru gye baali n’ababuuza nti, “Musango ki gwe muvunaana omuntu ono?”
30 They replied, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Singa yali tazizza musango tetwandimuleese gy’oli.”
31 Pilate said to them: Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put a man to death:
Piraato kyeyava abagamba nti, “Kale mmwe mumutwale mumusalire omusango okusinziira mu mateeka gammwe.” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetukkiriza kutta muntu yenna.”
32 that the speech of Jesus might be fulfilled, when he made known by what death he was to die.
Kino ne kituukiriza ebyo Yesu bye yayogera ku nfa gye yali agenda okufaamu.
33 And Pilate went into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?
Awo Piraato n’addayo mu lubiri n’ayita Yesu. N’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?”
34 Jesus said to him: Sayest thou this of thyself, or have others said it to thee of me?
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Ekyo okyogedde ku bubwo oba balala be bakubuulidde ebinfaako?”
35 Pilate said to him: Am I a Jew? Thy countrymen and the chief priests have delivered thee to me. What hast thou done?
Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Nze ndi Muyudaaya? Abantu bo ne Kabona Asinga Obukulu be bakundeetedde. Okoze ki?”
36 Jesus said to him: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews: but now, my kingdom is not from hence.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Obwakabaka bwange si bwa mu nsi muno. Singa bubadde bwa mu nsi eno abaweereza bange bandirwanye ne siweebwayo mu Bayudaaya. Naye obwakabaka bwange si bwa mu nsi muno.”
37 Pilate said to him: Then thou art a king? Jesus said to him: Thou hast said, that I am a king. For this was I born; and for this came I into the world, that I might bear testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Kwe kugamba oli kabaka?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Okyogedde nti ndi kabaka. Ekyo kye nnazaalirwa era kye kyandeeta mu nsi, ntegeeze amazima. Era abo bonna abaagala amazima bawulira eddoboozi lyange.”
38 Pilate said to him: What is the truth? And as he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them: I find not any crime in him.
Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Amazima kye ki?” Piraato bwe yamala okwogera bw’atyo n’afuluma ebweru eri Abayudaaya n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu ono talina musango.
39 And ye have a custom that I should release one to you at the passover; will ye, therefore, that I release to you this king of the Jews?
Naye ku buli mbaga ejjuukirirwako Okuyitako mulina empisa, onkusaba mbateere omusibe omu. Kale mwagala mbateere Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?”
40 And they all cried out, and said: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now this Barabbas was a robber.
Bonna kyebaava baleekaanira waggulu nga bagamba nti, “Nedda, si oyo, wabula tuteere Balaba.” Balaba oyo yali munyazi.
