John 18
1 After saying these things, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which he entered along with his disciples.
Mgbe Jisọs kwusiri okwu ndị a, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya rịdara ndagwurugwu iyi Kidrọn rigorokwa nʼofe nke ọzọ, ebe e nwere otu ogige, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banyere nʼime ya.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
Judas, onye rara ya nye matakwara ebe ahụ. Nʼihi na Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na-anọ nʼebe ahụ ọtụtụ oge.
3 So Judas took a cohort of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, and they went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Ya mere, Judas duuru otu ndị agha, na ụfọdụ ndị ozi sitere nʼetiti ndịisi nchụaja na ndị Farisii bịa nʼebe ahụ. Ha chịkwa ọwaọkụ, oriọna na ngwa agha.
4 Then Jesus, knowing everything that would happen to him, went out and said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
Ebe Jisọs maara ihe niile na-akwado ịbịakwasị ya, ọ pụtara sị ha, “Onye ka unu na-achọ?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” (Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them.)
Ha zaghachiri ya, “Ọ bụ Jisọs onye Nazaret.” Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ m” (Judas onye ahụ rara ya nye so ha guzo nʼebe ahụ.)
6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
Mgbe Jisọs gwara ha, “Ọ bụ m,” ha laghachiri azụ, daa nʼala.
7 So again he asked them, “Whom do you seek?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Ọzọ ọ jụkwara ha, “Onye ka unu na-achọ?” Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụ Jisọs onye Nazaret.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So if you are seeking me, let these men go.”
Jisọs zara, “Agwara m unu na Ọ bụ m. Ọ bụrụ na unu na-achọ m, hapụnụ ndị a ka ha laa.”
9 He said this to fulfill the word he had spoken: “I have not lost a single one of those yoʋ have given me.”
Nke a bụ iji mezuo okwu ahụ o kwuru na mbụ, “Etufughị m onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ahụ i nyere m.”
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
Ya mere Saimọn Pita, onye ji mma agha, mịpụtara ya, gbuo ohu onyeisi nchụaja, gbupụ ntị aka nri ya. Aha ohu ahụ bụ Malkus.
11 But Jesus said to Peter, “Put yoʋr sword back in its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
Ma Jisọs gwara Pita, “Mịghachi mma agha gị nʼọbọ ya! Ọ bụ na mụ agaghị aṅụ site nʼiko ahụ Nna m nyere m ka m ṅụọ?”
12 Then the cohort of soldiers, along with its commander and the Jewish officers, arrested Jesus, bound him,
Ya mere ndị agha ahụ na ọchịagha ha, na ndị na-ejere ndị Juu ozi, jidere Jisọs kee ya agbụ.
13 and led him away first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Ha buru ụzọ duru ya jekwuru Anas, onye bụ nna nwunye Kaịfas. Onye bụ onyeisi nchụaja nʼafọ ahụ.
14 (It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was better for one man to perish for the people.)
Kaịfas bụkwa onye ahụ dụrụ ndị ndu ndị Juu ọdụ, sị na ọ ka mma ka otu onye nwụọ nʼihi mmadụ niile.
15 Now Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was the other disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, so he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,
Saimọn Pita na otu onye ọzọ na-eso ụzọ ya sooro Jisọs. Nʼihi na onye nke ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya bụ onye onyeisi nchụaja maara nke ọma, o sooro Jisọs banye nʼobi onyeisi nchụaja.
16 but Peter stood outside at the gate. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the gatekeeper, and brought Peter in.
Ma Pita na-eguzo nʼezi nʼọnụ ụzọ. Onye ọzọ ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya, nke onyeisi nchụaja maara nke ọma, pụrụ nʼezi gwa nwaagbọghọ ahụ na-eche ọnụ ụzọ okwu, ma kpọbata Pita.
17 Then the servant girl who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, “Yoʋ are not also one of this man's disciples, are yoʋ?” He said, “I am not.”
Nwaagbọghọ ahụ sịrị Pita, “Ọ bụ na ị bụghị otu nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ nwoke a?” Pita sịrị, “Mba! Abụghị m.”
18 (Now the servants and the officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing there warming themselves. Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.)
Ndị ohu na ndị nche kwanyere ọkụ nʼihi na oyi na-atụ. Ha guzoro nʼebe ahụ na-anya ọkụ. Pita soro ha guzo na-anyakwa ọkụ.
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
Nʼoge ahụ onyeisi nchụaja ahụ jụrụ Jisọs banyere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, na ozizi ya.
20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogues and in the temple courts, where the Jews always assemble together. I have said nothing in secret.
Jisọs zara ya, “Nʼihu ọha mmadụ ka m kwuru okwu niile m kwuru. A kuziri m ihe nʼime ụlọ ekpere na nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ebe ndị Juu na-ezukọ. Ekwukwaghị m ihe ọbụla na nzuzo.
21 Why do yoʋ question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Behold, they know what I said.”
Gịnị mere i ji ajụ m? Jụọ ndị niile gere m ntị! Ha makwaara ihe niile m kwuru.”
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped him and said, “Is that how yoʋ answer the high priest?”
Mgbe o kwuru nke a, otu onye nʼime ndị na-eje ozi guzo nʼakụkụ ya, mara Jisọs ụra nʼihu, sị, “Ọ bụ otu a ka ị si aza onyeisi nchụaja ajụjụ?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify as to what was wrong; but if I have spoken well, why are yoʋ hitting me?”
Jisọs zara ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị ihe ọjọọ m kwuru, gbaa ama megide okwu ọjọọ dị otu a, ma ọ bụrụ na m kwuru eziokwu, gịnị mere i ji ama m ụra.”
24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Ya mere, Anas kere ya agbụ zigara ya Kaịfas onyeisi nchụaja.
25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “Yoʋ are not also one of his disciples, are yoʋ?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
Ma dịka Saimọn Pita ka guzo nʼebe ahụ na-anya ọkụ, ha sịrị ya, “Ọ bụ na ị bụghị otu onye nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya?” Ma ọ gọrọ agọ sị, “Abụghị m ya.”
26 But one of the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did I not see yoʋ with him in the garden?”
Otu nʼime ndị ohu onyeisi nchụaja, bụ onye ikwu nwoke ahụ Pita bipụrụ ntị, sịrị, “Ọ bụ na m ahụghị gị na ya nʼime ogige ahụ?”
27 Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Ma Pita gọkwara agọ ọzọ. Nʼotu mgbe ahụ oke ọkụkụ kwara akwa.
28 Then the Jews led Jesus away from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was now early in the morning. They themselves did not go into the governor's headquarters so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.
Mgbe ahụ, ha sitere nʼụlọ Kaịfas duru Jisọs gaa nʼụlọeze Pailet. Ọ bụkwa nʼisi ụtụtụ, ma ha onwe ha abanyeghị nʼime ụlọeze ahụ nʼihi na ha achọghị imerụ onwe ha, ka ha nwee ike isoro rie nri na Mmemme Ngabiga.
29 So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Pailet gakwuru ha nʼezi sị, “Gịnị bụ ebubo unu na-ebo nwoke a?”
30 They answered him, “If he were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over to yoʋ.”
Ha zara ma sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na onye a abụghị onye arụrụala, anyị agaraghị akpọtara gị ya.”
31 Pilate said to them, “You take him and judge him according to your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.”
Pailet sịrị, “Durunụ ya pụọ kpee ya ikpe nʼonwe unu dị ka iwu unu si dị.” Ndị Juu sịrị ya, “Ma anyị enweghị ikike igbu onye o bụla.”
32 (This happened to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was going to die.)
Nke a mere iji mezuo okwu ahụ Jisọs kwuru banyere ụdị ọnwụ ọ gaje ịnwụ.
33 Then Pilate went into his headquarters again, called Jesus over, and said to him, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?”
Mgbe ahụ Pailet baghachiri nʼime ụlọeze ahụ, zie ozi ka a kpọọrọ ya Jisọs. Ọ jụrụ ya, “Ị bụ eze ndị Juu?”
34 Jesus answered him, “Do yoʋ say this of yoʋr own accord, or have others spoken to yoʋ about me?”
Jisọs zara, “Ị na-ajụ nke a nʼonwe gị ka ọ bụ ihe ndị ọzọ gwara gị banyere m?”
35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Yoʋr own nation and the chief priests have handed yoʋ over to me. What have yoʋ done?”
Pailet zara, “Abụ m onye Juu? Ọ bụ ndị ala gị na ndịisi nchụaja unu kpọtaara m gị. Gịnị ka i mere?”
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being delivered up to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.”
Jisọs zara, “Alaeze m abụghị nke ụwa a. A sị na alaeze m bụ nke ụwa a, ndị na-ejere m ozi gaara ịlụrụ m ọgụ iji gbochie m ịdaba nʼaka ndị Juu. Ma ugbu a, alaeze m abụghị nke ụwa a.”
37 Pilate said to him, “So yoʋ are a king?” Jesus answered, “Yoʋ have said yoʋrself that I am a king. The reason I was born and the reason I came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
Pailet sịrị ya, “Ya bụ na ị bụ eze?” Jisọs zara, “Gị onwe gị kwuru na m bụ eze. Amụrụ m nʼihi nke a, ọ bụkwa nʼihi nke a ka m ji bi a nʼụwa ịgba ama banyere eziokwu. Onye ọbụla hụrụ eziokwu nʼanya na-ege m ntị.”
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, “I find no fault in him.
Pailet sịrị ya, “Gịnị bụ eziokwu?” Mgbe o kwuchara nke a, ọ pụrụ jekwuuru ndị Juu ọzọ sị ha, “Ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla m chọpụtara megidere ya.
39 But you have a custom that I release for you one man at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”
Ma ọ bụ omenaala unu, na m ga-ahapụrụ unu otu onye mkpọrọ nʼoge Mmemme Ngabiga. Unu chọrọ ka m hapụrụ unu ‘eze ndị Juu’?”
40 They all cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
Ha tiri mkpu ọzọ sị, “Ọ bụghị nwoke a, ma hapụrụ anyị Barabas.” Barabas bụ onye abalị dị egwu.
