John 18
1 After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
Gauça hauc erran cituenean, ilki cedin Iesus bere discipuluequin Cedrongo torrentaz berce aldera, non baitzén baratzebat, ceinetan sar baitzedin hura eta haren discipuluac
2 Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
Eta baçaquian leku hura Iudasec-ere, ceinec traditzen baitzuen hura: ecen anhitzetan Iesus bildu içan cen hara bere discipuluequin.
3 So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
Iudas bada harturic soldadozco bandabat, eta Sacrificadore principaletaric eta Phariseuetaric officierac, ethor cedin hara lanternequin eta torchoequin eta harmequin.
4 Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
Iesusec bada çaquizquialaric haren gainera ethorteco ciradenen gauça guciac, aitzinaraturic erran ciecén, Noren bilha çabiltzate?
5 They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
Ihardets cieçoten, Iesus Nazarenoren. Dioste Iesusec, Ni naiz. Eta hequin cegoen Iudas-ere ceinec traditzen baitzuen hura.
6 When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
Bada erran cerauenean, Ni naiz, guibelerat citecen, eta eror citecen lurrera.
7 He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
Orduan berriz interroga citzan, Noren bilha çabiltzate? Eta hec erran ceçaten, Iesus Nazarenoren.
8 Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Erran drauçuet ecen ni naicela: bada baldin ene bilha baçabiltzate, vtzitzaçue hauc ioaitera.
9 [This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
Erran çuen hitza compli ledinçát, Niri hic eman drauzquidanetaric, eztiát galdu batre.
10 Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Eta Simon Pierrisec nola baitzuen ezpatá, idoqui ceçan hura, eta io ceçan Sacrificadore subiranoaren cerbitzaria, eta ebaqui cieçón escuineco beharria: eta cerbitzariaren icena cen Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
Erran cieçón bada Iesusec Pierrisi, Eçarrac eure ezpatá maguinán: ala eztut edanen Aitac niri eman drautan copa?
12 Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
Orduan bandác eta capitainac eta Iuduen officieréc elkarrequin hatzaman ceçaten Iesus, eta esteca ceçaten.
13 Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
Eta eraman ceçaten lehenic Annasgana: (ecen Caiphasen guinharreba cen, cein baitzén vrthe hartaco Sacrificadore subirano) eta harc igor ceçan hura estecaturic Caiphas Sacrificadore subiranoagana.
14 Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
Eta Caiphas cen conseillu eman cerauena Iuduey ecen probetchu cela guiçombat hil ledin populuagatic.
15 Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
Eta iarreiquiten çayón Iesusi Simon Pierris, eta berce discipulubat, eta discipulu hura cen Sacrificadore subiranoaren eçaguna, eta sar cedin Iesusequin batean Sacrificadore subiranoaren salán
16 But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
Baina Pierris borthaldean campotic cegoen. Ilki cedin bada berce discipulu Sacrificadore subiranoaren eçaguna, eta minça cequión nescato borthalçainari, eta sar eraci ceçan Pierris.
17 The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
Eta erran cieçón Pierrisi nescato borthalçainac. Ez othe aiz hi-ere guiçon hunen discipuluetaric? Dio harc, Ez naun.
18 It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
Eta ceuden han cerbitzariac eta officierac ikatz kamborra eguinic, ecen hotz ari cen, eta berotzen ciraden: eta cen hequin Pierris-ere eta berotzen cegoen.
19 [While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
Sacrificadore subiranoac bada interroga ceçan Iesus bere discipuluéz eta bere doctrináz.
20 Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
Ihardets cieçón Iesusec, Ni publicoqui minçatu içan natzayóc munduari, nic bethiere iracatsi vkan diat synagogán eta templean, nora Iuduac alde gucietaric biltzen baitirade, eta secretuan eznauc minçatu deus.
21 [So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
Cergatic interrogatzen nauc ni? interrogaitzac ni cer minçatu natzayen ençun dutenac: hará, hec ciaquié cer erran dudan nic.
22 After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
Eta gauça hauc harc erran cituenean, present ciraden officieretaric batec cihor colpebat eman cieçón Iesusi, cioela, Horrela ihardesten draucac Sacrificadore subiranoari?
23 Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
Ihardets cieçón Iesusec, baldin gaizqui minçatu banaiz, testifica eçac gaizquiaz: eta baldin vngui erran badut, cergatic ioiten nauc?
24 Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Orduan igor ceçan hura Annasec estecaturic Caiphas Sacrificadore subiranoagana.
25 As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
Eta cegoen han Simon Pierris, eta berotzen cen: erran cieçoten bada hari, Ez othe aiz hi-ere haren discipuluetaric? vka ceçan harc, eta erran ceçan, Ez naiz.
26 [Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
Diotsa hari Sacrificadore subiranoaren cerbitzarietaric cembeitec, Pierrisec beharria ebaqui ceraucanaren ahaide batec, Ez aut nic hi ikussi baratzean harequin?
27 Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
Orduan berriz vka ceçan Pierrisec, eta bertan oillarrac io ceçan.
28 Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
Guero eraman ceçaten Iesus Caiphasganic Pretoriora: eta cen goiça, eta berac etzitecen sar Pretoriora, satsu ezlitecençat, baina Bazcoa ian leçatençat.
29 So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
Ilki cedin bada Pilate hetara campora, eta erran ceçan, Cer accusatione daccarqueçue guiçon hunen contra?
30 [They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Baldin hori gaizqui-eguile ezpaliz, ezquindrauqueán hiri liuratu.
31 Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
Dioste orduan Pilatec, Har eçaçue haur çuec, eta çuen Leguearen arauez condemna eçaçue. Orduan erran cieçoten Iuduéc, Eztuc sori guretzát nehoren hiltzea.
32 [The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
Haur cen Iesusen hitza compli ledinçát, cein erran baitzeçan aditzera emaiten çuela cer herioz hil behar luen.
33 Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Sar cedin bada berriz Pretoriora Pilate, eta dei ceçan Iesus, eta erran cieçón, Hi aiz Iuduen Reguea?
34 Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
Ihardets cieçon Iesusec, Eurorren burutic hic hori erraiten duc, ala bercéc erran draue niçaz?
35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
Ihardets ceçan Pilatec, Ala ni Iudu naiz? eure nationeac eta Sacrificadore principaléc liuratu arauté: cer eguin duc?
36 Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Ene resumá eztuc mundu hunetaric: baldin mundu hunetaric baliz ene resumá, ene gendeac combati litezquec Iuduey liura eznendinçát: baina orain ene resumá eztuc hemengo.
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
Erran cieçón orduan Pilatec, Regue aiz bada hi? Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Hic dioc ecen Regue naicela ni. Ni hunetacotzát iayo içan nauc, eta hunetacotzát ethorri içan nauc mundura, testimoniage demodançát eguiari. Eguiatic den guciac, ençuten dic ene voza.
38 Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
Diotsa Pilatec, Cer da eguia? Eta haur erran çuenean, berriz ilki cedin Iuduetara, eta dioste, Nic eztut erideiten haur baithan causaric batre.
39 But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
Eta costumabat baituçue bat larga dieçaçuedan Bazcoz: nahi duçue bada larga dieçaçuedan Iuduen Reguea?
40 They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
Oihuz iar citecen bada berriz guciac, cioitela, Ez hori, baina Barabbas: eta cen Barabbas gaichtaguin-bat.
