John 18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with his disciples over the brook Kedron; where there was a garden, into which He entred, and his disciples. Now Judas who was gone to betray Him,
Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba walaya pamo nebeshikwiya bakendi kutala kwa cisapa ca Kedroni, nkobalakengila mulibala lya bitondo bya maolifi,
2 knew the place: for Jesus often met there together with his disciples: Judas therefore having got a band of soldiers,
Uko Yesu nebeshikwiya bakendi nkobalikukumanina cindi conse. Neco Yuda walamuyaba walikwishiba musena wopelowo.
3 and officers from the chief priests and pharisees, cometh thither with candles, and lamps, and arms.
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 Upon which Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon Him, went forth and said unto them, Whom do ye seek? They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene.
Nomba Yesu walikwinshiba byeshibimwinshikile. Weco nendi walemana patuba, nekubepusheti, “Nomba mulayandanga bani?”
5 Jesus saith unto them, I am He. And Judas that betrayed Him, was standing with them.
Balamukumbuleti, “tulayandanga Yesu waku Nasaleti.” Yesu walambeti, “Njame.” Yuda walamuyaba kubalwani bakendi, neye walikubapo.
6 Now as soon as He said unto them, I am He, they went backwards and fell to the ground.
Yesu mpwalabakumbuleti, “Njame,” Balabwelela kunyuma nekuwa panshi.
7 Then He asked them again, Whom do ye seek?
Kayi Yesu walabepusha, “Nomba mulayandanga bani?” Nabo balambeti, “tulandanga Yesu wa ku nazaleti.”
8 And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore ye 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 had spoken, "Of those, whom Thou hast given me, I have lost none."
Walambeco kwambeti bikwanilishiwe mbyalambeti, “Ndiya kutayapo naba umo pali abo mbomwalampa.”
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote 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 But Jesus said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Lino Yesu walambila Petulo, “Bwesha cingwebe cakobe mumukopa. Sena ulayeyengeti mbule kunwa nkomeshi ya mapensho njobalampa Bata?”
12 So the band with the captain, 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 away 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 and Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest. Now Caiaphas was he who had said in council to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Kayafa eusa walambila bamakulene baBayuda kumasuba akunyuma kwambeti caina namuntu umo ufwa kupita kwambeti bantu bonse bafwe.
15 And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. And that other disciple being known to the high priest went in with Jesus into the high-priest's hall.
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 stood at the door without: the other disciple therefore, who was known to the high-priest, went out and spake to her that kept the door, and brought Peter in.
Nsombi Petulo walemana kunsa pepi necishinga, usa shikwiya walikuba wenshibikwa walapula nekuya kwamba nemutukashi pacishinga kwambeti ambile Petulo engile,
17 Then saith the maid, that kept the door, to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? and he said, I am not.
Nomba mutukashi musebenshi walepusha Petulo, “Sena obe ntobe umo wa beshikwiya bamuntuyu?” Petulo walambeti, “Ame? Sobwe.”
18 And the servants and officers stood there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves: and Peter was standing with them 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 concerning his disciples, and his doctrine.
Pacindi copeleco shimilumbo mukulene walepusha Yesu sha beshikwiya bakendi, kayi nebintu mbyalikwiyisha.
20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world, I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews are continually resorting: and in secret have said nothing. Why dost thou ask me?
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 ask them that heard me, what I have said unto them: for they know what I have said.
Nomba lino mulanjipushilinga cani? Kamwipushani abo balanyumfwa bintu mbyondalikwamba bacishi ncendalikwiyisha.”
22 And upon his saying these things, one of the officers that stood by struck Jesus, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest thus?
Mpwalambeco, umo wa bamalonda walikuba wemana popelapo walamuma Yesu nekwambeti, “Ngokumbula aconi mushoboyo shimilumbo mukulene?”
23 Jesus answered him, If I have ever spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why dost thou strike me?
Yesu walamukumbuleti, “na ndamba bintu byaipa kobishumbula. Nsombi na ndamba byakubinga nomba ulangumininga cani?”
24 [See verse 24 between verse 13 and 14.]
Lino Anasi walamutuma Yesu kaliwasungwa kuli Kayafa shimilumbo mukulene.
25 And Simon Peter stood warming himself: and they said to him, Art not thou one of his disciples? and 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 Then said one of the servants of the high-priest, kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off, Did not I see thee 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 then denied it again, and immediately the cock crew.
Petulo walakana kayi, pacindi copeleco kombwe walalila.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: (now it was morning) and they themselves went not in to the court, least they should be defiled, and so might not eat of 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 Therefore Pilate went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
Neco Pilato walapulapansa nekubepusheti, “Mulamucana nemulandu cini muntuyu?”
30 They answered him, If He were not a malefactor, we should not have delivered Him to thee.
Nabo balambeti, “Nalabula kwinsa byaipa muntuyo netuliya kumuleta kuli njamwe sobwe.”
31 Then said Pilate to them, Take Him, and judge Him according to your law. But the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
Neco Pilato walabambileti, “Mumanteni mwenga mumomboloshe kwelana ne milawo yenu.” Nsombi Bayuda basa balambeti, “Afwe nkatwasuminishiwa kushina muntu sobwe.”
32 that what Jesus had said might be fulfilled, signifying by what death He should die.
Ibi byalenshika kwambeti maswi Yesu ngalamba sha lufu lwakendi akwanilishiwe.
33 Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus and said to Him, Art thou the king of the Jews?
Pilato walengila munga'nda yakendi kayi, nekukuwa Yesu. Walamwipusheti, “Sena obe, njobe Mwami wa Bayuda?”
34 Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this from thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
Yesu walambeti, “Sena kwamba kulico nikwenu mobene, nambi pali bantu balamwambilapo sha njame?”
35 Pilate replied, Am I a Jew? thine own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: what hast thou 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, my servants would have fought, that I might not have been delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence.
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 unto Him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest right, I am a king. For this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, even that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth 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 saith unto Him, What is truth? And as soon as he had spoke, he went out again to the Jews,
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 and saith unto them, I find no fault at all in Him. But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I 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 cried out again, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Popelapo nabo balolobesha nekwambeti, “Uyo sobwe nsombi Balaba.” Balaba walikuba cigabenga.
