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.
Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba walaya pamo nebeshikwiya bakendi kutala kwa cisapa ca Kedroni, nkobalakengila mulibala lya bitondo bya maolifi,
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Uko Yesu nebeshikwiya bakendi nkobalikukumanina cindi conse. Neco Yuda walamuyaba walikwishiba musena wopelowo.
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.
Yuda walanyamuka pamo nebashilikali baku Loma nebamalonda baku Nga'nda ya Lesa abo balatumwa nebamakulene beshimilumbo neBafalisi. Nabo balaya kulibala uko kabalibamanta malampi ne nsakamwenge kayi ne byensho byankondo.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Nomba Yesu walikwinshiba byeshibimwinshikile. Weco nendi walemana patuba, nekubepusheti, “Nomba mulayandanga bani?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Balamukumbuleti, “tulayandanga Yesu waku Nasaleti.” Yesu walambeti, “Njame.” Yuda walamuyaba kubalwani bakendi, neye walikubapo.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Yesu mpwalabakumbuleti, “Njame,” Balabwelela kunyuma nekuwa panshi.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Kayi Yesu walabepusha, “Nomba mulayandanga bani?” Nabo balambeti, “tulandanga Yesu wa ku nazaleti.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Yesu walambeti, “Ndamwambili eti njame, nomba na mulayandanga njame, aba balekeni bayenga.”
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
Walambeco kwambeti bikwanilishiwe mbyalambeti, “Ndiya kutayapo naba umo pali abo mbomwalampa.”
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.
Shimoni Petulo walikukute cingwebe. Walasokolola nekukwempula litwi lyakululyo lya Makasi musebenshi wa shimilumbo mukulene.
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?”
Lino Yesu walambila Petulo, “Bwesha cingwebe cakobe mumukopa. Sena ulayeyengeti mbule kunwa nkomeshi ya mapensho njobalampa Bata?”
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
Mushilikali mukulene nebashilikali bakendi, kayi nebamalondabamuNg'anda ya Lesa, balamwikata Yesu nekumusunga.
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Pakutanguna balaya nendi kuli Anasi, mupongoshi wa Kayafa, walikuba mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse mucaka copeleco.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Kayafa eusa walambila bamakulene baBayuda kumasuba akunyuma kwambeti caina namuntu umo ufwa kupita kwambeti bantu bonse bafwe.
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;
Shimoni Petulo neshikwiya naumbi balamukonkela Yesu. Shikwiya naumbi uyo walikuba wenshibana neshimilumbo mukulene. Lino walengila pamo ne Yesu munga'nda ya shimilumbo mukulene.
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.
Nsombi Petulo walemana kunsa pepi necishinga, usa shikwiya walikuba wenshibikwa walapula nekuya kwamba nemutukashi pacishinga kwambeti ambile Petulo engile,
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.”
Nomba mutukashi musebenshi walepusha Petulo, “Sena obe ntobe umo wa beshikwiya bamuntuyu?” Petulo walambeti, “Ame? Sobwe.”
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.
Kwalikuba kwatontola, neco basebenshi ne bamalonda balakunka mulilo ngobalikuyota bwimene, neye Petulo walayakwimanapo kayota mulilo.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Pacindi copeleco shimilumbo mukulene walepusha Yesu sha beshikwiya bakendi, kayi nebintu mbyalikwiyisha.
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 walambeti, “Ame ndalikwamba mwakutasoleka ku muntu uliyense. Ndalikwiyisha mumanda akupaililamo kayi ne mu Nga'nda ya Lesa, bantu bonse mobakute kubungana. Ndiya kwambapo bintu mwakusoleka sobwe.
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.”
Nomba lino mulanjipushilinga cani? Kamwipushani abo balanyumfwa bintu mbyondalikwamba bacishi ncendalikwiyisha.”
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?”
Mpwalambeco, umo wa bamalonda walikuba wemana popelapo walamuma Yesu nekwambeti, “Ngokumbula aconi mushoboyo shimilumbo mukulene?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “na ndamba bintu byaipa kobishumbula. Nsombi na ndamba byakubinga nomba ulangumininga cani?”
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Lino Anasi walamutuma Yesu kaliwasungwa kuli Kayafa shimilumbo mukulene.
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.”
Simoni Petulo mpwalikuba wemana nkaciyota mulilo, nabambi balamwipusheti, “Sena obe ntobe umo wabeshikwiya ba muntusa?” Petulo walakaneti, “Sobwe ntame.”
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?”
Musebenshi naumbi wa mukulene wabeshimilumbo bonse, mwanse muntusa Petulo ngwalakwempula litwi, walamwipusheti, “Sena ndiya kukubonapo mulibala musa nkoli nendi?”
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Petulo walakana kayi, pacindi copeleco kombwe walalila.
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.
Mumene mene bamakulene baBayuda balamumanta Yesu kufuma kuli Kayafa nekuya nendi kunga'nda ya mwendeleshi wa Loma. Bantu bangi balashala pansa, kutina kwambeti ningababa babulakuswepa, kayi nkabela kusuminishiwa kulyako Pasika.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Neco Pilato walapulapansa nekubepusheti, “Mulamucana nemulandu cini muntuyu?”
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
Nabo balambeti, “Nalabula kwinsa byaipa muntuyo netuliya kumuleta kuli njamwe sobwe.”
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,”
Neco Pilato walabambileti, “Mumanteni mwenga mumomboloshe kwelana ne milawo yenu.” Nsombi Bayuda basa balambeti, “Afwe nkatwasuminishiwa kushina muntu sobwe.”
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Ibi byalenshika kwambeti maswi Yesu ngalamba sha lufu lwakendi akwanilishiwe.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Pilato walengila munga'nda yakendi kayi, nekukuwa Yesu. Walamwipusheti, “Sena obe, njobe Mwami wa Bayuda?”
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Yesu walambeti, “Sena kwamba kulico nikwenu mobene, nambi pali bantu balamwambilapo sha njame?”
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 walambeti, “Sena ulayeyengeti njame Muyuda? Nibantu bakobe kayi ne beshimilumbo bamakulene endibo balakulete kulinjame, nomba walensa cani?”
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 walakumbuleti, “Bwami bwakame ntebo bwapacishi capanshi sobwe. Bwami bwakame nebwanga bwapacishi capanshi pano batuloba bakame nebalandwaninini nkondo kwambeti babule kuntwala kuli bamakulene baBayuda. Nsombi bwami bwakame ntebo bwa pacishi capanshi sobwe.”
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 walambeti, “Lino ekwambeti njobe Mwami ntendimo?” Yesu walambeti, “Mulalyambili mobene kwambeti njame Mwami. Ame ndalesa pacishi capanshi pano kayi ndalasemwa nekwisa mucishi kusakwamba cancine ncine. Uliyense usuni cancine ncine ukute kunyumfwa maswi akame.”
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 walamwipusha Yesu, “Anu cancine ncine nicani?” Pilato mpwalamba maswi awa, walapula kunsa kwalikuba Bayuda, nekubambileti, “Ame ndiya kumucanapo ne mulandu uli wonse muntuyu.
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?”
Nsombi kukonka cinga cenu, pacindi ca kusekelela Pasika nkute kumusungulwila muntu umo. Sena mulayandanga kwambeti ndimusungwilile Mwami waBayuda uyu?”
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Popelapo nabo balolobesha nekwambeti, “Uyo sobwe nsombi Balaba.” Balaba walikuba cigabenga.
