< John 18 >

1 After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--Himself and His disciples.
تاح کَتھاح کَتھَیِتْوا یِیشُح شِشْیانادایَ کِدْرونّامَکَں سْروتَ اُتِّیرْیَّ شِشْیَیح سَہَ تَتْرَتْیودْیانَں پْراوِشَتْ۔
2 Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.
کِنْتُ وِشْواسَگھاتِیِہُوداسْتَتْ سْتھانَں پَرِچِییَتے یَتو یِیشُح شِشْیَیح سارْدّھَں کَداچِتْ تَتْ سْتھانَمْ اَگَچّھَتْ۔
3 So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.
تَدا سَ یِہُوداح سَینْیَگَنَں پْرَدھانَیاجَکاناں پھِرُوشِنانْچَ پَداتِگَنَنْچَ گرِہِیتْوا پْرَدِیپانْ اُلْکانْ اَسْتْرانِ چادایَ تَسْمِنْ سْتھانَ اُپَسْتھِتَوانْ۔
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.
سْوَں پْرَتِ یَدْ گھَٹِشْیَتے تَجْ جْناتْوا یِیشُرَگْریسَرَح سَنْ تانَپرِچّھَتْ کَں گَویشَیَتھَ؟
5 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.)
تے پْرَتْیَوَدَنْ، ناسَرَتِییَں یِیشُں؛ تَتو یِیشُرَوادِیدْ اَہَمیوَ سَح؛ تَیح سَہَ وِشْواسَگھاتِی یِہُوداشْچاتِشْٹھَتْ۔
6 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.
تَداہَمیوَ سَ تَسْیَیتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوَیوَ تے پَشْچادیتْیَ بھُومَو پَتِتاح۔
7 Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
تَتو یِیشُح پُنَرَپِ پرِشْٹھَوانْ کَں گَویشَیَتھَ؟ تَتَسْتے پْرَتْیَوَدَنْ ناسَرَتِییَں یِیشُں۔
8 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go their way."
تَدا یِیشُح پْرَتْیُدِتَوانْ اَہَمیوَ سَ اِماں کَتھامَچَکَتھَمْ؛ یَدِ مامَنْوِچّھَتھَ تَرْہِیمانْ گَنْتُں ما وارَیَتَ۔
9 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."
اِتّھَں بھُوتے مَہْیَں یالّوکانْ اَدَداسْتیشامْ ایکَمَپِ ناہارَیَمْ اِماں یاں کَتھاں سَ سْوَیَمَکَتھَیَتْ سا کَتھا سَپھَلا جاتا۔
10 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
تَدا شِمونْپِتَرَسْیَ نِکَٹے کھَنْگَلْسْتھِتیح سَ تَں نِشْکوشَں کرِتْوا مَہایاجَکَسْیَ مالْکھَنامانَں داسَمْ آہَتْیَ تَسْیَ دَکْشِنَکَرْنَں چھِنَّوانْ۔
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"
تَتو یِیشُح پِتَرَمْ اَوَدَتْ، کھَنْگَں کوشے سْتھاپَیَ مَمَ پِتا مَہْیَں پاتُں یَں کَںسَمْ اَدَداتْ تیناہَں کِں نَ پاسْیامِ؟
12 So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him.
تَدا سَینْیَگَنَح سیناپَتِ رْیِہُودِییاناں پَداتَیَشْچَ یِیشُں گھرِتْوا بَدّھوا ہانَنّامْنَح کِیَپھاح شْوَشُرَسْیَ سَمِیپَں پْرَتھَمَمْ اَنَیَنْ۔
13 They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
سَ کِیَپھاسْتَسْمِنْ وَتْسَرے مَہایاجَتْوَپَدے نِیُکْتَح
14 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is to your interest that one man should die for the People.")
سَنْ سادھارَنَلوکاناں مَنْگَلارْتھَمْ ایکَجَنَسْیَ مَرَنَمُچِتَمْ اِتِ یِہُودِییَیح سارْدّھَمْ اَمَنْتْرَیَتْ۔
15 Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
تَدا شِمونْپِتَرونْیَیکَشِشْیَشْچَ یِیشوح پَشْچادْ اَگَچّھَتاں تَسْیانْیَشِشْیَسْیَ مَہایاجَکینَ پَرِچِتَتْواتْ سَ یِیشُنا سَہَ مَہایاجَکَسْیاٹّالِکاں پْراوِشَتْ۔
16 But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in.
کِنْتُ پِتَرو بَہِرْدْوارَسْیَ سَمِیپےتِشْٹھَدْ اَتَایوَ مَہایاجَکینَ پَرِچِتَح سَ شِشْیَح پُنَرْبَہِرْگَتْوا دَووایِکایَے کَتھَیِتْوا پِتَرَمْ اَبھْیَنْتَرَمْ آنَیَتْ۔
17 This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.
تَدا سَ دْوارَرَکْشِکا پِتَرَمْ اَوَدَتْ تْوَں کِں نَ تَسْیَ مانَوَسْیَ شِشْیَح؟ تَتَح سووَدَدْ اَہَں نَ بھَوامِ۔
18 Now because it was cold the servants and the police had lighted a charcoal fire, and were standing and warming themselves; and Peter too remained with them, standing and warming himself.
تَتَح پَرَں یَتْسْتھانے داساح پَداتَیَشْچَ شِیتَہیتورَنْگارَے رْوَہْنِں پْرَجْوالْیَ تاپَں سیوِتَوَنْتَسْتَتْسْتھانے پِتَرَسْتِشْٹھَنْ تَیح سَہَ وَہْنِتاپَں سیوِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ۔
19 So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
تَدا شِشْییشُوپَدیشے چَ مَہایاجَکینَ یِیشُح پرِشْٹَح
20 "As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
سَنْ پْرَتْیُکْتَوانْ سَرْوَّلوکاناں سَمَکْشَں کَتھامَکَتھَیَں گُپْتَں کامَپِ کَتھاں نَ کَتھَیِتْوا یَتْ سْتھانَں یِہُودِییاح سَتَتَں گَچّھَنْتِ تَتْرَ بھَجَنَگیہے مَنْدِرے چاشِکْشَیَں۔
21 Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."
مَتَّح کُتَح پرِچّھَسِ؟ یے جَنا مَدُپَدیشَمْ اَشرِنْوَنْ تانیوَ پرِچّھَ یَدْیَدْ اَوَدَں تے تَتْ جانِنْتَ۔
22 Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the High Priest?"
تَدیتّھَں پْرَتْیُدِتَتْواتْ نِکَٹَسْتھَپَداتِ رْیِیشُں چَپیٹیناہَتْیَ وْیاہَرَتْ مَہایاجَکَمْ ایوَں پْرَتِوَدَسِ؟
23 "If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"
تَتو یِیشُح پْرَتِگَدِتَوانْ یَدْیَیَتھارْتھَمْ اَچَکَتھَں تَرْہِ تَسْیایَتھارْتھَسْیَ پْرَمانَں دیہِ، کِنْتُ یَدِ یَتھارْتھَں تَرْہِ کُتو ہیتو رْمامْ اَتاڈَیَح؟
24 So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.
پُورْوَّں ہانَنْ سَبَنْدھَنَں تَں کِیَپھامَہایاجَکَسْیَ سَمِیپَں پْرَیشَیَتْ۔
25 But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "No, I am not."
شِمونْپِتَرَسْتِشْٹھَنْ وَہْنِتاپَں سیوَتے، ایتَسْمِنْ سَمَیے کِیَنْتَسْتَمْ اَپرِچّھَنْ تْوَں کِمْ ایتَسْیَ جَنَسْیَ شِشْیو نَ؟ تَتَح سوپَہْنُتْیابْرَوِیدْ اَہَں نَ بھَوامِ۔
26 One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
تَدا مَہایاجَکَسْیَ یَسْیَ داسَسْیَ پِتَرَح کَرْنَمَچّھِنَتْ تَسْیَ کُٹُمْبَح پْرَتْیُدِتَوانْ اُدْیانے تینَ سَہَ تِشْٹھَنْتَں تْواں کِں ناپَشْیَں؟
27 Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed.
کِنْتُ پِتَرَح پُنَرَپَہْنُتْیَ کَتھِتَوانْ؛ تَدانِیں کُکُّٹورَوتْ۔
28 So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.
تَدَنَنْتَرَں پْرَتْیُوشے تے کِیَپھاگرِہادْ اَدھِپَتے رْگرِہَں یِیشُمْ اَنَیَنْ کِنْتُ یَسْمِنْ اَشُچِتْوے جاتے تَے رْنِسْتاروتْسَوے نَ بھوکْتَوْیَں، تَسْیَ بھَیادْ یِہُودِییاسْتَدْگرِہَں ناوِشَنْ۔
29 Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation have you to bring against this man?"
اَپَرَں پِیلاتو بَہِراگَتْیَ تانْ پرِشْٹھَوانْ ایتَسْیَ مَنُشْیَسْیَ کَں دوشَں وَدَتھَ؟
30 "If the man were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."
تَدا تے پیتْیَوَدَنْ دُشْکَرْمَّکارِنِ نَ سَتِ بھَوَتَح سَمِیپے نَینَں سَمارْپَیِشْیامَح۔
31 "Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death."
تَتَح پِیلاتووَدَدْ یُویَمینَں گرِہِیتْوا سْویشاں وْیَوَسْتھَیا وِچارَیَتَ۔ تَدا یِہُودِییاح پْرَتْیَوَدَنْ کَسْیاپِ مَنُشْیَسْیَ پْرانَدَنْڈَں کَرْتُّں ناسْماکَمْ اَدھِکاروسْتِ۔
32 They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.
ایوَں سَتِ یِیشُح سْوَسْیَ مرِتْیَو یاں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوانْ سا سَپھَلابھَوَتْ۔
33 Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
تَدَنَنْتَرَں پِیلاتَح پُنَرَپِ تَدْ راجَگرِہَں گَتْوا یِیشُماہُویَ پرِشْٹَوانْ تْوَں کِں یِہُودِییاناں راجا؟
34 "Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?" replied Jesus.
یِیشُح پْرَتْیَوَدَتْ تْوَمْ ایتاں کَتھاں سْوَتَح کَتھَیَسِ کِمَنْیَح کَشْچِنْ مَیِ کَتھِتَوانْ؟
35 "Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
پِیلاتووَدَدْ اَہَں کِں یِہُودِییَح؟ تَوَ سْوَدیشِییا وِشیشَتَح پْرَدھانَیاجَکا مَمَ نِکَٹے تْواں سَمارْپَیَنَ، تْوَں کِں کرِتَوانْ؟
36 "My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin."
یِیشُح پْرَتْیَوَدَتْ مَمَ راجْیَمْ ایتَجَّگَتْسَمْبَنْدھِییَں نَ بھَوَتِ یَدِ مَمَ راجْیَں جَگَتْسَمْبَنْدھِییَمْ اَبھَوِشْیَتْ تَرْہِ یِہُودِییاناں ہَسْتیشُ یَتھا سَمَرْپِتو نابھَوَں تَدَرْتھَں مَمَ سیوَکا اَیوتْسْیَنْ کِنْتُ مَمَ راجْیَمْ اَیہِکَں نَ۔
37 "So then you are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice."
تَدا پِیلاتَح کَتھِتَوانْ، تَرْہِ تْوَں راجا بھَوَسِ؟ یِیشُح پْرَتْیُکْتَوانْ تْوَں سَتْیَں کَتھَیَسِ، راجاہَں بھَوامِ؛ سَتْیَتایاں ساکْشْیَں داتُں جَنِں گرِہِیتْوا جَگَتْیَسْمِنْ اَوَتِیرْنَوانْ، تَسْماتْ سَتْیَدھَرْمَّپَکْشَپاتِنو مَمَ کَتھاں شرِنْوَنْتِ۔
38 "What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him.
تَدا سَتْیَں کِں؟ ایتاں کَتھاں پَشْٹْوا پِیلاتَح پُنَرَپِ بَہِرْگَتْوا یِہُودِییانْ اَبھاشَتَ، اَہَں تَسْیَ کَمَپْیَپَرادھَں نَ پْراپْنومِ۔
39 But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?"
نِسْتاروتْسَوَسَمَیے یُشْمابھِرَبھِرُچِتَ ایکو جَنو مَیا موچَیِتَوْیَ ایشا یُشْماکَں رِیتِرَسْتِ، اَتَایوَ یُشْماکَں نِکَٹے یِہُودِییاناں راجانَں کِں موچَیامِ، یُشْماکَمْ اِچّھا کا؟
40 With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
تَدا تے سَرْوّے رُوَنْتو وْیاہَرَنْ اینَں مانُشَں نَہِ بَرَبّاں موچَیَ۔ کِنْتُ سَ بَرَبّا دَسْیُراسِیتْ۔
