John 18
1 After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
Hessa wursi yootidape guye Yesussay bena kaallizaytara Qeedirone geetetza shooba pinidi akakiltte gidoo gelidees.
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.
Yesussayne iza kaallizayti kasseka he gadeyin daroo wode isife shiqiza gish Yesussa aththi immida Y uday he gadeyo kasseka erress.
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.
Hessa gish Yuday wotadarata, qeessista halaqatane Farssawistape kitteti yida ashshikarata wursi kaalleththi ekkidi he istti shiqizaso yidees. Izara yida asay paanoose, xoomipenee mashsha toora oykkidi yidees.
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?”
Yesussay ba bolla gakkanaysa wursi erridi yida asako bidi “Oonna koyeti? gides.
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.
Istti qasse “Nazireete yesussa koyoos” gida, Izika isttas “Tani izakoo” gidees. Isttas aththi immida yuday isttara isife eqqides.
6 When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
Yesussay “Ta izako” gida mala asati guye ganddigaridi biita bolla kunddida.
7 He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
Yesussay ha7ika “Oonna koyeeti?” gidi oychchin istti zaaridi “Nazireete Yesussa koyoos” gida.
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.”
Izika zaaridi “Tani izako gadiiskkoo, histtkoo inte koyizay tana gidikoo hayti beto bochchofite” gides.
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.”
Hesi haniday “Ta aawawu ne tas immidaytape issadeka ta dhaysabeykee” gida qaalay poleistana malako.
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.
Simmoona geetetza phixxirossay giththa mashsha oykkda gish mashsha shohope shodidi issi qeessista halaqa ashshikara dizaysa haythe mashshara padhi yegides. He ashshikaraza sunththi “malkosa” geetetes.
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]”
Yesussay qasse phixxirossa “Ne mashsha gede shohon zara gelththa. Nees ta aaway tas immida metoo ushsha ta uyoontta milatizee?” gidees.
12 Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
Hessafe guye wootadarati, istta azazizaysinne Ayhudata ashshikarati Yesussa oykkidi qachchida.
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.
Koyro he laythas qessistas halaqa gidida qayafaa bollo Haannakko ehaaththaida.
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].
Qayafaay “Deere gish issadey hayqqiko lo7okko” gidi Ayhudata dulata kase zooridade.
15 Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
Simmona geetettiza phixxirossayne Yesussa kaallizaytape issadey yesussa kaallida. He uray qessista halaqa achchan kehi erretidade. Hessa gish Yesussara isife qessista halaqaza gibbe gelides.
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.
Phixxirossay gidikko penggefe kare baggara eqqdees. Qessista halaqa achchan kehi erretdi Yesussa kaallizaysi yidine penggen diza garadeya phixxirossa gibbe giddo gelththana mala yootdi Pixirosa ekki gelides.
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.”
Pengge naggiza garadeya Phixxirossa “Neka hessa addeza kaalliza asatape issa gidikki?” gadus. Izi qasse “Tani iza kaallizade gidike” gides.
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.
Wodey meegiza wode gidida gish ooththanchatnne ashshikarati tama eththidi eqoon ho7etes. Pixxirossaykka isttara eqidii ho7es.
19 [While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
He wode qeessista halaqay Yesussa iza kaallizayta gishane izi tammarisida tmmirtte gish oychchides.
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.
Yesussayka izas “Ta asa wursos qoonccen yootadas. Ayhudati shiqiza istta wossa keeththan gidinkka Xoossa keeththan tammarisadis; ta qootan haasa7idazii aykoyka deena.
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!”
Histtin ne tana oychchizay aazee? ta yootshshin siydayta oychcha; ta yootdiysa istti erretes” gides.
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]”
Yesussay hessa gida mala hen eqida ashshikaratape issay “Qeessista halaqas hayssaththo wosta zaaray” gishe Yesussa shagalan baqqa shayides.
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]”
Yesussayka zaaridi “Ta iitta hasa7ida gidiko anne ta gooysa ne markkata; ta yootday likee gidiko tana aazas baqqaz?” gides.
24 Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Hessafe guye Haanay qachchetida mala Yesussa Qeessista halaqa Qayafaakoo yedidees.
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.”
He wode Simmoona geetetza Phixxrossay eqqidii tama ho7ishin hankko asay iza haysoo, ne Yesussa kaallizaytape issa gidikii?” gida. Izika zaaridi “Ta iza kaallizade gidike” giidi kadides.
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?”
Kase Pixxrossay iza hayththe qanxxiidayssa dabooy qeessista halaqa ashshikaratape issay “wona ta nena akaakilitesoon isttara dishin beeyabeykkina? gidees.
27 Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
Pixxrossay qassekka kadides, heraka kutooy wasides.
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].
Hessafe guye Yesussa Qayahaaththaa keeththafe dere aysiza kawooza gibbe malladoo wonttara ekki bidda. Ayhuda asas pazziga ba77ele dorssa ashsho mizza wode gidida gish bena tunisontta mala giidi malladora dere aysizaysa gibbe gidoo gelibeytena.
29 So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
Hessa gish Philaxoossay gede isttako kezidi “Hayssa addeza inte aazas mootetii?” gidii oychchidees.
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!”
Istti qasse “Haysi addeezi iita oosonttade gididako nu iza nes aththi immokoko shin” gida
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!”
Philaxossayka “Inte iza ekki bidi inte woga mala pirditee” gidees. Ayhudata aysizayti qasse zaaridi “Nu ass wodhana mala nuus fiqadey immetibeyna” gides
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.
Hessika haniday Yesussay kase isttas izi waani hayqanakoone yoottida qaalay polistana gishshasko.
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?”
Philaxoosay qasseka guye gibbe gido gelidi Yesussa xeeygisidi “Ne Ayhudata kawoo?” gidii oychchidees.
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]?”
Yesussaykka zaaridi “Ne hessa gizay nepeyee woykoo hara asatii ta gish nes yoottdoo?” gides.
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]?”
Philaxoossayka “Ta Ayhuda asee? Nena tas aththi immidayti ne baggatanne qeessista halaqattako; ne ayy ooththadii?” gides.
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.”
Yesussaykka “Ta kawootethi hayssa ha biita bolla gideena, ta kawootethi hayssa ha biita bolla gididakoo Ayhudata dannata kushshen ta kunddoontta mala ta ashshikarati ta gish olistanakoshin. Ta kawootethi gidikoo ha biita bolla gideena” gides.
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.”
Philaxoossayka “Histtin ne kawoo?” gides, Yesussay qasse “Tani ne gidaysa mala ee kawoo, ta yeleetidayne ha biitta yiday tuma gish markkatanasko. Tumape gididay wuri ta qaala siyees” gides.
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.
Philaxoossayka “Tumay azee?” gides. Hessafe guye Phiilaxossay namm7enththo Ayhudatako kezzidi “Ta iza bolla ayko bala beyabeyke.
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?”
Gido attin kasseka ta intes paziga ba77ele gaalas issi qachcho ass birshiza mala hayssa Ayhudata kawoo intes birshana mala koyeetii?” gides.
40 They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
Istti gidiko “nus Barbbanne birsha attin hayssa gideena!” giidi wassida. Barbbanney ba hu7es pangga.
