John 18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
Sima na Yesu kobondela, akendeki elongo na bayekoli na Ye mpe bakatisaki lubwaku ya Sedron epai wapi elanga moko ezalaki. Yesu akotaki na elanga yango elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Yuda oyo asilaki komibongisa mpo na kokaba Yesu ayebaki esika yango malamu, pamba te Yesu azalaki kokende kuna mbala mingi elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Boye Yuda akendeki na elanga yango mpe amemaki lisanga ya basoda mpe ya bakengeli oyo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo bapesaki ye. Bato yango basimbaki minda, banzete oyo ezalaki kopela moto mpe bibundeli.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Lokola Yesu ayebaki makambo nyonso oyo esengeli kokomela Ye, akendeki kokutana na bango mpe atunaki bango: — Bozali koluka nani?
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Bazongisaki: — Yesu ya Nazareti. Yesu alobaki na bango: — Ezali Ngai oyo. Mpe Yuda oyo atekaki Yesu epai na bango azalaki wana elongo na bango.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Tango Yesu alobaki na bango: « Ezali Ngai oyo, » bazongaki na sima mpe bakweyaki na mabele.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Yesu atunaki bango lisusu: — Bozali koluka nani? Bazongisaki: — Yesu ya Nazareti.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nasili koloba na bino ete ezali Ngai. Soki ezali Ngai nde bozali koluka, botika bato mosusu kokende.
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
Ezali bongo nde esengelaki kokokisama, liloba oyo Yesu alobaki: « Kati na bato oyo opesaki ngai, nabungisi ata moko te. »
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Lokola Simona Petelo azalaki na mopanga, abimisaki yango wuta na ebombelo na yango, abetaki mosali ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe akataki ye litoyi ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali. Kombo ya mosali yango ezalaki Malikisi.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
Kasi Yesu alobaki na Petelo: — Zongisa mopanga na yo kati na ebombelo na yango. Boni, nasengeli te komela kopo ya pasi, oyo Tata apesi Ngai?
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
Lisanga ya basoda, mokonzi na bango mpe bakengeli ya Bayuda bakamataki Yesu mpe bakangaki Ye basinga;
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
bamemaki Ye liboso epai ya Ana oyo azalaki tata-bokilo ya Kayifa, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, na mobu wana.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Ezalaki mpe Kayifa wana nde apesaki Bayuda toli oyo: « Eleki malamu ete moto moko akufa mpo na bato nyonso. »
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
Simona Petelo mpe moyekoli mosusu bazalaki kolanda Yesu. Moyekoli yango ayebanaki na mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe akotaki elongo na Yesu na lopango ya kati ya ndako ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
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 her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
Petelo azalaki kozela libanda, na liboso ya ekuke. Moyekoli wana, oyo ayebanaki na mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, abimaki, asololaki na mwasi mokengeli ekuke mpe akotisaki Petelo.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
Mwasi mosali oyo azalaki kokengela ekuke atunaki Petelo: — Boni, yo mpe ozali te moko kati na bayekoli ya moto wana? Petelo azongisaki: — Nazali moyekoli na ye te.
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
Lokola malili ezalaki, basali mpe bakengeli bapelisaki moto mpe batelemaki pembeni-pembeni mpo na koyetola. Petelo mpe azalaki wana elongo na bango mpo na koyetola.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe apesaki Yesu mituna na tina na bayekoli na Ye mpe na tina na mateya na Ye.
20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Nazalaki koloba na polele penza na miso ya bato nyonso, nazalaki koteya tango nyonso kati na bandako ya mayangani mpe kati na Tempelo, epai wapi Bayuda nyonso basanganaka; nalobaki eloko moko te na nkuku.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
Mpo na nini ozali kotuna Ngai mituna? Tuna epai ya bato oyo bayokaki Ngai koloba. Ezali bango nde bakoki koyeba malamu makambo oyo nazalaki koloba.
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
Tango kaka Yesu alobaki bongo, moko kati na bakengeli oyo bazalaki wana abetaki Ye mbata na koloba: — Boni! Ezali bongo nde ozali kozongisela mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe?
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Soki nalobi mabe, mabe yango ezali wapi? Kasi soki nalobi na Ngai kaka solo, mpo na nini kobeta Ngai?
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Bongo Ana atindaki Yesu oyo azalaki kaka ya kokangama na basinga, epai ya Kayifa, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
Wana Simona Petelo azalaki nanu koyetola moto, batunaki ye: — Yo mpe ozali te moko kati na bayekoli na ye? Petelo awanganaki yango na koloba: — Te, nazali moyekoli na ye te.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
Kasi moko kati na basali ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, ndeko mobali ya moto oyo Petelo akataki litoyi, alobaki: — Boni, ngai namonaki yo te elongo na ye kati na elanga?
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Kasi Petelo awanganaki yango lisusu; mpe mbala moko, soso elelaki.
28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Bongo na tongo makasi, longwa na ndako ya Kayifa, bamemaki Yesu kati na ndako ya moyangeli oyo azalaki moto ya Rome. Kasi bango moko bato oyo bamemaki Yesu bakotaki te kati na ndako ya moyangeli, mpo ete bamikomisa mbindo te mpe mpo ete bazwa nzela ya kolia bilei ya Pasika.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Yango wana moyangeli Pilato abimaki na libanda mpe atunaki bango: — Bofundi moto oyo mpo na likambo nini?
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
Bazongiselaki ye: — Soki moto oyo asalaki mabe te, tolingaki mpe koya te kotika ye na maboko na yo.
31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
Pilato alobaki na bango: — Bokamata ye mpe bosambisa ye bino moko kolanda mibeko na bino. Bayuda bazongiselaki ye: — Biso tozali na ndingisa te ya kokatela moto etumbu ya kufa.
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Ezali ndenge wana nde ekokisamaki maloba oyo Yesu alobaki mpo na kolakisa lolenge ya kufa oyo asengelaki kokufa.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Pilato azongaki kati na ndako ya moyangeli, abengaki Yesu mpe atunaki Ye: — Boni, ozali mokonzi ya Bayuda?
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Yesu azongisaki: — Boni, ezali na ndenge na yo moko nde olobi yango to bato mosusu nde bayebisi yo na tina na Ngai?
35 Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
Pilato atunaki Yesu: — Boni, okanisi ete ngai nazali Moyuda? Ezali bato ya ekolo na yo moko mpe bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe nde bayei kotika yo na maboko na ngai. Osali nini?
36 Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
Yesu azongisaki: — Bokonzi na Ngai ezali ya mokili oyo te; soki ezalaki ya mokili oyo, basali na Ngai balingaki kobunda mpo ete nakweya te na maboko ya Bayuda. Solo, bokonzi na Ngai ezali ya mokili oyo te.
37 Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilato atunaki: — Elingi koloba nini, ozali nde mokonzi? Yesu azongisaki: — Yo nde olobi yango ete nazali mokonzi. Nabotamaki mpe nayaki kati na mokili mpo na kopesa litatoli na tina na solo. Moto oyo azali kati na solo ayokaka mongongo na Ngai.
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 basis for a charge against him.
Pilato atunaki Ye: — Solo ezali nini? Sima na koloba maloba wana, Pilato abimaki lisusu na libanda epai wapi Bayuda bazalaki mpe alobaki na bango: — Nazwi ye na likambo moko te ya mabe mpo ete nakatela ye etumbu ya kufa.
39 But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
Kasi lokola ezali momesano epai na bino ete nabimisa na boloko mokangami moko, na tango ya feti ya Pasika, bozwa sik’oyo mokano. Bolingi ete natika mokonzi ya Bayuda mpo ete akoma nsomi?
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Bango nyonso bazongisaki na koganga: — Te! Ye te! Bimisa nde Barabasi! Nzokande, Barabasi azalaki moyibi mpe mobomi bato.
