John 18
1 After Jesus spoke these words, he went out with his disciples to the other side of the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples entered.
Tukun Jesus el pre tari, el wi mwet tumal lutlut illa, ac som tupalla Infacl Srisrik Kidron. Oasr ima se in acn sac, ac Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos utyak nu we.
2 Now Judas, who was going to betray him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
Judas, el su ac tukakunulak Jesus, el etu acn sac, mweyen pus pacl Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos tukeni we.
3 Then Judas, leading a group of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Ouinge Judas el som nu in ima sac, ac pwen sie un mwet mweun lun acn Rome welul, oayapa kutu mwet soan ke Tempul ma supweyukla sin mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee. Elos us mwe mweun, lam ac kahp welulos.
4 Then Jesus, who knew all the things that were happening to him, went forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jesus el etu na ma nukewa ma ac sikyak nu sel, ouinge el kalukyang nu yorolos ac siyuk selos, “Su kowos suk an?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am.” Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with the soldiers.
Elos topuk, “Jesus lun Nazareth.” El fahk, “Nga pa el.” Judas el wi tu inmasrlon un mwet sac.
6 So when he said to them, “I am,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Ke Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Nga pa el,” elos kohloli ac topla nu infohk ah.
7 Then again he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” Again they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Jesus el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Su kowos suk an?” Ac elos fahk, “Jesus lun Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am. So if you are looking for me, let these go.”
Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk tari nu suwos lah nga pa el. Fin nga pa kowos suk an, fuhlela mwet inge in som.” (
9 This was in order to fulfill the word that he said: “Of those whom you have given me, I lost no one.”
El fahk ouinge tuh in akpwayeiyuk kas se el tuh fahk meet: “Papa, tia sie selos su kom ase nu sik tuhlac likiyu.”)
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.
Oasr cutlass se yorol Simon Peter, na el faesak ac sang paki sie sin mwet kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat, ac wotela sracl layen layot. Inen mwet kulansap sac pa Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword back into its sheath. Should I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
Jesus el fahk nu sel Peter, “Isongya cutlass nutum an nu ke ma nukumyen! Mea, kom nunku mu nga ac tia nim ke cup in keok se ma Papa El se nu sik uh?”
12 So the group of soldiers and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and tied him up.
Toko mwet mweun Rome ac captain lalos, wi mwet soan lun mwet Jew, elos sruokilya Jesus ac kaprilya,
13 They led him first to Annas, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
ac kololla meet nu yorol Annas. Annas pa papa tumun mutan kial Caiaphas, su Mwet Tol Fulat ke yac sac.
14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had given the advice to the Jews that it would be better that one man die for the people.
Caiaphas pa tuh sang kas in kasru nu sin mwet fulat lun mwet Jew mu, ac fal tuh mwet sefanna in misa ke mwet nukewa.
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest;
Simon Peter ac sie pac mwet lutlut eltal fahsr tokol Jesus. Mwet lutlut se saya ah eteyuk sin Mwet Tol Fulat, ouinge el welul Jesus utyak na nwe ke inkul lun Mwet Tol Fulat,
16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the female doorkeeper and he brought Peter in.
a Peter el mutana likin kalkal ah sisken mutunpot ah. Na mwet lutlut se ngia el tufoki ac kaskas nu sin mutan kulansap se su karingin mutunpot uh, ac pwanulak Peter nu in kalkal ah.
17 Then the female servant, the doorkeeper, said to Peter, “Are you not also one of the disciples of this man?” He said, “I am not.”
Mutan sac fahk nu sel Peter, “Ku kom tia sie sin mwet lutlut lun mwet sacn?” Peter el topuk, “Mo, tia nga.”
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, and they had made a charcoal fire, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. Peter was also with them, standing there and warming himself.
Mwet kulansap ac mwet topang elos tanak tari sie e ke mulut ke sripen arulana ohu, ac elos tu raunela ac langlung kac. Na Peter el welulosyang tu langlung.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
Mwet Tol Fulat el lolngok sin Jesus ke mwet tumal lutlut ac ke luti lal ah.
20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I was always teaching in synagogues and in the temple where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
Ac Jesus el fahk, “Pacl nukewa nga kaskas lemtulauk nu sin mwet uh. Luti luk nukewa orek in iwen lolngok ac in Tempul, yen mwet nukewa tukeni we. Wangin kutena ma nga fahk in lukma.
21 Why did you ask me? Ask those who have heard me about what I said. Look, these people know what I said.”
Na efu kom ku kusen siyuk sik? Siyuk sin mwet ma lohngyu ah lah mea nga fahk nu selos. Elos etu ma nga fahk.”
22 When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing there struck Jesus and said, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
Ke Jesus el fahk ma inge, sie sin mwet soan su tu we puokya likintupal ac fahk, “Kom ku kaskas angan nu sin Mwet Tol Fulat!”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if rightly, why do you hit me?”
Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Fin oasr ma nga fahk tuh sufal, akkalemye nu sesr nukewa. A fin pwaye ma nga fahk uh, efu kom ku puokyu?”
24 Then Annas sent him tied up to Caiaphas the high priest.
Jesus el srakna kapir ke Annas el supwalla nu yorol Caiaphas, Mwet Tol Fulat.
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. The people then said to him, “Are you not also one of his disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
Peter el srakna tu langlung insac, na kutu sin mwet uh fahk nu sel, “Ku tia kom pa sie sin mwet lutlut lun mwet sacn?” A Peter el sifil lafu ac fahk, “Mo, tia nga.”
26 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 you in the garden with him?”
Sie sin mwet kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat, su sou lun mwet se ma Peter el pakela insrac ah, el kasla ac fahk, “Kom pa nga liye welul Jesus in ima sac — pwaye?”
27 Peter then denied again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Peter el sifilpa fahk, “Mo” — na in pacl sacna, won se kahkla.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the government headquarters. It was early in the morning, and they did not enter the government headquarters so that they would not be defiled but would eat the Passover.
Toang na in lotu sac, utukla Jesus liki lohm sel Caiaphas nu inkul fulat sel governor. Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew uh elos tuh tia wi utyak nu inkul fulat sac ke sripen elos tia lungse akfohkfokyalos, elos in mau ku in mongo ke Kufwen Alukela.
29 So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
Ouinge Pilate el ilme nu yorolos ac siyuk, “Mea kowos tukakin mwet se inge kac uh?”
30 They answered and said to him, “If this man was not an evildoer, we would not have given him over to you.”
Top lalos nu sel pa, “El funu tia orala sie ma koluk lulap, kut lukun tia usalu nu yurum.”
31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.”
Pilate el fahk nu selos, “Fin angan, kowos sifacna usal ac nununkal fal nu ke ma sap lowos an.” Elos topuk ac fahk, “Ma sap lowos, mwet Rome, tia lela nu sesr in wotela sie mwet in anwuki.” (
32 They said this so that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled which he had spoken to indicate by what kind of death he would die.
Ma inge sikyak in akpwayei ma Jesus el fahk ke el fahkak luman misa ma el ac misa kac.)
33 Then Pilate entered the government headquarters again and called Jesus and he said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Pilate el sifil utyak nu in lohm sel ac sap in utuku Jesus nu yorol, na el siyuk sel, “Ya kom pa tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
34 Jesus answered, “Do you speak from yourself, or did others speak to you about me?”
Jesus el topuk, “Ya ma na kom sifacna siyuk, ku mwet pa fahk nu sum keik?”
35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and the chief priests gave you over to me. What did you do?”
Pilate el topkol ac fahk, “Ya kom nunku mu nga sie mwet Jew? Mwet lom sifacna ac mwet tol fulat pa eiskomme nu sik. Mea kom orala uh?”
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, then my servants would fight so that I would not be given over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here.”
Jesus el fahk, “Tokosrai luk uh tia ma lun facl se inge. Funu ma lun faclu, mwet ma fahsr tukuk lukun anwuk in taranyu liki poun mwet fulat lun mwet Jew. Mo. Tokosrai luk tia ma faclu!”
37 Pilate then said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this purpose I have come into the world, so that I would bear witness to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
Ke ma inge Pilate el siyuk sel, “Fin angan, ya tokosra se pa kom?” Jesus el topuk, “Kom pa fahk mu tokosra se pa nga uh. Nga isusla ac tuku nu faclu ke na sripa se inge: in kaskas ke ma pwaye. Kutena mwet su ma lun ma pwaye elos porongeyu.”
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in this man.
Pilate el siyuk, “Ac mea ma pwaye?” Na Pilate el sifil illa nu yurin mwet uh ac fahk nu selos, “Nga tia ku in konauk kutena ma koluk lun mwet se inge.
39 But you have the custom that I release one person to you at the Passover. So do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?”
Tusruktu in fal nu ke oakwuk uh, yac nukewa ke pacl in Kufwen Alukela nga muta aksukosokyela sie mwet kapir nu suwos. Kowos lungse nga in aksukosokyela tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
40 Then they cried out again and said, “Not this man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Mo, tia el! Kut lungse Barabbas!” (Barabbas el sie mwet pisrapasr sulallal.)
