John 18
1 After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
Ie nitsarae’ Iesoà, le nionjoñe mindre amo mpiama’eo nitsake ty saka Kedrone mb’amy goloboney mb’eo le nizilik’ ao rekets’ o mpiama’eo.
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.
Nizatse i toetsey ka t’i Jodasy, i hifotetse azey, fa beteke nitolak’ ao t’Iesoà naho o mpiama’eo.
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.
Aa ie nahazo mpirimbon-dahin-defoñe naho mpifeleke hirik’ amo mpisorom-beio naho o Fariseoo t’i Jodasy, le niheo mb’eo ninday failo naho jiro vaho fialiañe.
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?”
Kanao fonga niarofoana’ Iesoà ty hifetsak’ ama’e, le nimb’ am’ iereo mb’eo nanao ty hoe: Ia ty paia’ areo?
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.
Tinoi’ iereo ty hoe: Iesoà nte Nazareta. Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Ie iraho. Nijagarodoñe am’iereo ao ka t’i Jodasy nifotetse ama’e.
6 When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
Amy nanoa’e ty hoe: Ie iraho, le nidisa-voly iereo, nivaragidiñe an-tane eo.
7 He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
Aa le nindrai’e i ontane’ey: Ia v’o paia’ areoo? Hoe iereo: Iesoà nte Nazareta.
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.”
Le tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Fa nanoeko te Ie Raho, aa naho mipay ahy, adono hañavelo iretoañe,
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.”
hampañeneke i nitsarae’ey ty hoe: Leo raike tsy nipoke amo natolo’o ahikoo.
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.
Kanao amam-pibara t’i Simona Petera; napontsoa’e le pinao’e ty mpitoro’ i talèm-pisoroñey, nañitsike ty ravembia’e havana. Malikò ty tahina’ i mpitoroñey.
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]”
Le hoe t’Iesoà amy Petera: Aziliho an-traño’e o fibara’oo. Tsy hinomeko hao i fitovy nazotson-dRaeko amakoy?
12 Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
Aa le nifihine’ i mpirimbon-dahin-defoñey naho i mpiaolo’ey naho o mpifele’ o Tehodao t’Iesoà vaho rinohy.
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.
Kinozozò’ iereo mb’amy Anasy hey re, ie ty rafoza’ i Kaiafa talèm-pisoroñe amy taoñe zay.
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].
I Kaiafay i nanoro o Tehodaoy ty hoe: Mahasoa te ho vilasy ho a’ ondatio t’indaty raike.
15 Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
Nañorike Iesoà t’i Simona Petera naho ty mpiamy Iesoà raike. Fa nifohi’ i talèm-pisoroñey i mpiama’e zay, le nindre amy Iesoà re nizilik’ an-kiririsan-talèm-pisoroñe ao.
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.
Fe nijohañe an-dalam-bey alafe ao t’i Petera. Niakatse amy zao i mpiama’e nifohi’ i taleiy, le nilahatse ami’ty mpañamben-dalañe, vaho nampizilihe’e t’i Petera.
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.”
Le hoe i ampela mpitàn-dalañey amy Petera: Tsy mpiam’ indatiy ka v’iheo? Hoe re: Aiy! tsy izaho.
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.
Nizorazora eo o mpitoroñeo naho o mpigaritseo, ie fa namiañe afo am-porohañe ao amy te nanara, le namindro; nindre nijohañe am’iereo t’i Petera, namindro.
19 [While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
Le nañontane Iesoà ty amo mpiama’eo naho o fañòha’eo i talèm-pisoroñey.
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.
Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Nivolam-beo’ mbeo ami’ty voatse toy iraho, nainai’e nañoke amo fitontonañeo naho añ’anjomban’ Añahare fivoria’ o Jiosy iabioo, vaho tsy eo ty nivolañeko añ’etake.
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!”
Ino ty añontanea’o ahy? Añontaneo o nahajanjiñe i vinolako am’iereoio, fohi’ iereo o nitaroñekoo.
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]”
Ie nanao izay t’Iesoà, le tinampifi’ ty mpigaritse nijohañe eo, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Zao hao ty toi’o i talèm-pisoroñey?
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]”
Tinoi’ Iesoà: Naho nandilatse an-tsaontsy iraho, italilio ty tsy nimete; fe naho nitò, akore t’ie nanampifia’o?
24 Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Aa le nampanesè’ i Anasy an-drohy mb’amy Kaiafa talèm-pisoroñe mb’eo re.
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.”
Ie amy zao, namindro ey t’i Petera, le nañontanea’iereo ty hoe: Tsy mpiama’e ka v’iheo? Niliere’e ami’ty hoe: Tsy ie iraho.
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?”
Le hoe ty mpitoron-talèm-pisoroñe, longo’ i nikitsihe’ i Petera ravembiay: Tsy nitreako nindre ama’e amy ala vondroy v’iheo?
27 Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
Nandietse indraike t’i Petera; vaho nikekeo i akoholahiy.
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].
Ie nimaraindray, nendese’ iereo boak’ amy Kaiafa mb’ amy anjomba i mpizakaiy mb’eo t’Iesoà, f’ie tsy nimoak’ añ’ anjombam-pizaka ao tsy mone haleotse tsy mete hikama i Fihelañey.
29 So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
Aa le niakatse mb’am’iereo mb’eo t’i Pilato, nanao ty hoe: Inoñe ty anisìa’ areo t’indaty tìañe?
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!”
Le hoe ty natoi’ iereo: Naho tsy mpanan-tahin-dre, tsy ho nasese’ay ama’o.
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!”
Endeso re, hoe t’i Pilato, zakao an-dili’ areo. Aa le hoe o Tehodao tama’e: Tsy aman-jo hamono ondaty zahay,
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.
hañeneke ty tsara’ Iesoà nitaroñe’e ty havilasy hivetraha’ey.
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?”
Le nizilik’ añ’anjombam-pizakañ’ ao indraike t’i Pilato nitsikaotse Iesoà naho nanoa’e ty hoe: Mpanjaka’ o Jiosio v’iheo?
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]?”
Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Saontsi’o hao, hera nisaontsie’ ty ila’e ahy?
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]?”
Hoe t’i Pilato: Jiosy v-o ahoo? I foko’oy naho o mpisorom-beio ty nanese Azo amako; ino o nanoe’oo?
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.”
Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Tsy ami’ty voatse toy ty fifeheako; fa naho ni-hirik’ ami’ty voatse toy ty fifeheako, le nialy ho ahy o mpitorokoo tsy hasese amo Tehodao; fe tsy boak’ atoañe ty fifeheako.
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.”
Aa le hoe t’i Pilato ama’e: Mpanjaka v’Iheo! Tinoi’ Iesoà: Saontsi’o te mpanjaka; izay ty nisamahañ’ ahy, naho ty nivotrahako ami’ty voatse toy, hitaroñako ty hatò. Hene mahajanjiñe ty feoko ze mpiami’ ty hatò.
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.
Hoe t’i Pilato tama’e: Ino ze o hatò zao? Ie nanao izay, le niavotse mb’ amo Tehodao indraike, nanao ty hoe: Tsy treako ty hakeo ama’e.
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?”
Fe aman-dily nahareo, ty hañahàko t’indaty amy Fihelañey. No’ areo arè te havotsoko ama’ areo t’i Mpanjaka’ o Jiosio?
40 They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
Nindrai’ iareo an-tazataza ty hoe: Tsy t’indaty tia fa i Barabasy. Malaso i Barabasy izay.
