< John 18 >

1 Whanne Jhesus hadde seid these thingis, he wente out with hise disciplis ouer the strond of Cedron, where was a yerd, in to which he entride, and hise disciplis.
Yesu alipomaliza kuomba, akaondoka na wanafunzi wake wakavuka Bonde la Kidroni. Upande wa pili palikuwa na bustani, yeye na wanafunzi wake wakaingia humo.
2 And Judas, that bitrayede hym, knew the place, for ofte Jhesus cam thidur with hise disciplis.
Basi Yuda, yule aliyemsaliti alipafahamu mahali hapo kwani Yesu alikuwa akikutana humo na wanafunzi wake mara kwa mara.
3 Therfor whanne Judas hadde takun a cumpany of knyytis, and mynystris of the bischopis and of the Fariseis, he cam thidur with lanternys, and brondis, and armeris.
Hivyo Yuda akaja bustanini. Aliongoza kikosi cha askari wa Kirumi, na baadhi ya maafisa kutoka kwa viongozi wa makuhani na Mafarisayo. Nao walikuwa wamechukua taa, mienge na silaha.
4 And so Jhesus witynge alle thingis that weren to come on hym, wente forth, and seide to hem, Whom seken ye?
Yesu akijua yale yote yatakayompata, akajitokeza mbele yao akawauliza, “Mnamtafuta nani?”
5 Thei answeriden to hym, Jhesu of Nazareth. Jhesus seith to hem, Y am. And Judas that bitraiede hym, stood with hem.
Wao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti.” Yesu akawajibu, “Mimi ndiye.” Yuda, yule aliyemsaliti alikuwa amesimama pamoja nao.
6 And whanne he seide to hem, Y am, thei wenten abak, and fellen doun on the erthe.
Yesu alipowaambia, “Mimi ndiye,” walirudi nyuma na kuanguka chini!
7 And eft he axide hem, Whom seken ye? And thei seiden, Jhesu of Nazareth.
Akawauliza tena, “Mnamtafuta nani?” Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti.”
8 He answeride to hem, Y seide to you, that Y am; therfor if ye seken me, suffre ye these to go awei.
Yesu akawaambia, “Nimekwisha kuwaambia kuwa, mimi ndiye; kwa hiyo kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa watu waende zao.”
9 That the word which he seide schulde be fulfillid, For Y loste not ony of hem, whiche thou `hast youun to me.
Hii ilikuwa ili litimie lile neno alilosema, “Sikumpoteza hata mmoja miongoni mwa wale ulionipa.”
10 Therfor Symount Petre hadde a swerd, and drow it out, and smoot the seruaunt of the bischop, and kittide of his riyt eer. And the name of the seruaunt was Malcus.
Simoni Petro, aliyekuwa na upanga, akaufuta na kumkata sikio la kuume mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu. Jina la mtumishi huyo aliitwa Malko.
11 Therfor Jhesus seide to Petre, Putte thou thi swerd in to thi schethe; wolt thou not, that Y drynke the cuppe, that my fadir yaf to me?
Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako kwenye ala yake. Je, hainipasi kukinywea kikombe alichonipa Baba?”
12 Therfor the cumpenye of knyytis, and the tribune, and the mynystris of the Jewis, token Jhesu, and bounden hym,
Hivyo wale askari, wakiwa pamoja na majemadari wao na maafisa wa Wayahudi, wakamkamata Yesu na kumfunga.
13 and ledden hym first to Annas; for he was fadir of Caifas wijf, that was bischop of that yeer.
Kwanza wakampeleka kwa Anasi, mkwewe Kayafa, aliyekuwa kuhani mkuu mwaka ule.
14 And it was Caifas, that yaf counsel to the Jewis, that it spedith, that o man die for the puple.
Kayafa ndiye alikuwa amewashauri Wayahudi kwamba imempasa mtu mmoja kufa kwa ajili ya watu.
15 But Symount Petre suede Jhesu, and another disciple; and thilke disciple was knowun to the bischop. And he entride with Jhesu, in to the halle of the bischop;
Simoni Petro pamoja na mwanafunzi mwingine walikuwa wakimfuata Yesu. Huyu mwanafunzi mwingine alikuwa anafahamika kwa kuhani mkuu, hivyo aliingia ndani ya ukumbi pamoja na Yesu.
16 but Petre stood at the dore with outforth. Therfor `the tother disciple, that was knowun to the bischop, wente out, and seide to the womman that kepte the dore, and brouyte in Petre.
Lakini Petro alisimama nje karibu na lango, ndipo yule mwanafunzi mwingine, aliyejulikana na kuhani mkuu, akazungumza na msichana aliyekuwa analinda lango, akamruhusu Petro aingie ndani.
17 And the damysel, kepere of the dore, seide to Petre, Whether thou art also of this mannys disciplis? He seide, Y am not.
Yule msichana akamuuliza Petro, “Je, wewe pia si mmoja wa wanafunzi wa mtu huyu?” Petro akajibu, “Sio mimi.”
18 And the seruantis and mynystris stooden at the coolis, for it was coold, and thei warmyden hem; and Petre was with hem, stondynge and warmynge hym.
Wale watumishi na askari walikuwa wamesimama wakiota moto wa makaa kwa sababu palikuwa na baridi, Petro naye alikuwa amesimama pamoja nao akiota moto.
19 And the bischop axide Jhesu of hise disciplis, and of his techyng.
Wakati huo kuhani mkuu akawa anamuuliza Yesu kuhusu wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.
20 Jhesus answerde to hym, Y haue spokun opynli to the world; Y tauyte euermore in the synagoge, and in the temple, whider alle the Jewis camen togidere, and in hiddlis Y spak no thing.
Yesu akamjibu, “Nimekuwa nikizungumza waziwazi mbele ya watu wote. Siku zote nimefundisha katika masinagogi na Hekaluni, mahali ambapo Wayahudi wote hukusanyika. Sikusema jambo lolote kwa siri.
21 What axist thou me? axe hem that herden, what Y haue spokun to hem; lo! thei witen, what thingis Y haue seid.
Mbona unaniuliza mimi maswali? Waulize wale walionisikia yale niliyowaambia. Wao wanajua niliyosema.”
22 Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, oon of the mynystris stondynge niy, yaf a buffat to Jhesu, and seide, Answerist thou so to the bischop?
Alipomaliza kusema hayo, mmoja wa askari aliyekuwa amesimama karibu naye, akampiga Yesu kofi usoni, kisha akasema, “Je, hivyo ndivyo unavyomjibu kuhani mkuu?”
23 Jhesus answeride to hym, If Y haue spokun yuel, bere thou witnessyng of yuel; but if Y seide wel, whi smytist thou me?
Yesu akamjibu akasema, “Kama nimesema jambo baya, shuhudia huo ubaya niliousema. Lakini kama nimesema yaliyo kweli, mbona umenipiga?”
24 And Annas sente hym boundun to Caifas, the bischop.
Ndipo Anasi akampeleka Yesu kwa kuhani mkuu Kayafa, akiwa bado amefungwa.
25 And Symount Petre stood, and warmyde him; and thei seiden to hym, Whether also thou art his disciple? He denyede, and seide, Y am not.
Wakati huo Simoni Petro alikuwa amesimama akiota moto. Baadhi ya wale waliokuwepo wakamuuliza, “Je, wewe si mmoja wa wanafunzi wake?” Petro akakana, akasema, “Sio mimi.”
26 Oon of the bischops seruantis, cosyn of hym, whos eere Petre kitte of, seide, Say Y thee not in the yerd with hym?
Mmoja wa watumishi wa kuhani mkuu, ndugu yake yule mtu ambaye Petro alikuwa amemkata sikio, akamuuliza, “Je, mimi sikukuona kule bustanini ukiwa na Yesu?”
27 And Petre eftsoone denyede, and anoon the cok crew.
Kwa mara nyingine tena Petro akakana, naye jogoo akawika wakati huo huo.
28 Thanne thei ledden Jhesu to Cayfas, in to the moot halle; and it was eerli, and thei entriden not in to the moot halle, that thei schulden not be defoulid, but that thei schulden ete pask.
Ndipo Wayahudi wakamchukua Yesu kutoka kwa Kayafa na kumpeleka kwenye jumba la kifalme la mtawala wa Kirumi. Wakati huo ilikuwa ni alfajiri, ili kuepuka kuwa najisi kwa taratibu za ibada, Wayahudi hawakuingia ndani kwa sababu ya sheria za Kiyahudi. Wangehesabiwa kuwa najisi kama wangeingia nyumbani mwa mtu asiye Myahudi na wasingeruhusiwa kushiriki katika Sikukuu ya Pasaka.
29 Therfor Pilat wente out with outforth to hem, and seide, What accusyng brynge ye ayens this man?
Hivyo Pilato akatoka nje walikokuwa akawauliza, “Mmeleta mashtaka gani kumhusu mtu huyu?”
30 Thei answeriden, and seiden to hym, If this were not a mysdoere, we hadden not bitakun hym to thee.
Wao wakamjibu, “Kama huyu mtu hakuwa mhalifu tusingemleta kwako.”
31 Thanne Pilat seith to hem, Take ye hym, and deme ye him, after youre lawe. And the Jewis seiden to hym, It is not leueful to vs to sle ony man;
Pilato akawaambia, “Basi mchukueni ninyi mkamhukumu kwa kufuata sheria zenu.” Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi haturuhusiwi kutoa hukumu ya kifo kwa mtu yeyote.”
32 that the word of Jhesu schulde be fulfillid, whiche he seide, signifiynge bi what deth he schulde die.
Walisema hivyo ili yale maneno aliyosema Yesu kuhusu kifo atakachokufa yapate kutimia.
33 Therfor eftsoone Pilat entride in to the moot halle, and clepide Jhesu, and seide to hym, Art thou kyng of Jewis?
Kwa hiyo Pilato akaingia ndani ya jumba la kifalme, akamwita Yesu, akamuuliza, “Wewe ndiye mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
34 Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Seist thou this thing of thi silf, ether othere han seid to thee of me?
Yesu akamjibu, “Je, unauliza swali hili kutokana na mawazo yako mwenyewe, au uliambiwa na watu kunihusu mimi?”
35 Pilat answeride, Whether Y am a Jewe? Thi folc and bischops bitoken thee to me; what hast thou don?
Pilato akamjibu, “Mimi si Myahudi, ama sivyo? Taifa lako mwenyewe na viongozi wa makuhani wamekukabidhi kwangu. Umefanya kosa gani?”
36 Jhesus answeride, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my mynystris schulden stryue, that Y schulde not be takun to the Jewis; but now my kingdom is not here.
Yesu akajibu, “Ufalme wangu si wa ulimwengu huu. Ufalme wangu ungekuwa wa ulimwengu huu, wafuasi wangu wangenipigania ili nisitiwe mikononi mwa Wayahudi. Lakini kama ilivyo, ufalme wangu hautoki hapa ulimwenguni.”
37 And so Pilat seide to hym, Thanne `thou art a king. Jhesus answeride, Thou seist, that Y am a king. To this thing Y am borun, and to this Y `am comun in to the world, to bere witnessing to treuthe. Eche that is of treuthe, herith my vois.
Pilato akamuuliza, “Kwa hiyo wewe ni mfalme?” Yesu akajibu, “Wewe wasema kwamba mimi ni mfalme. Kwa kusudi hili nilizaliwa, na kwa ajili ya hili nilikuja ulimwenguni, ili niishuhudie kweli. Mtu yeyote aliye wa kweli husikia sauti yangu.”
38 Pilat seith to hym, What is treuthe? And whanne he hadde seid this thing, eft he wente out to the Jewis, and seide to hem, Y fynde no cause in hym.
Pilato akamuuliza Yesu, “Kweli ni nini?” Baada ya kusema haya Pilato akaenda nje tena akawaambia wale viongozi wa Wayahudi waliomshtaki Yesu, “Sioni kosa lolote alilotenda mtu huyu.
39 But it is a custom to you, that Y delyuere oon to you in pask; therfor wole ye that Y delyuere to you the kyng of Jewis?
Lakini ninyi mna desturi yenu kwamba wakati wa Pasaka nimwachie huru mfungwa mmoja mnayemtaka. Je, mnataka niwafungulie huyu ‘Mfalme wa Wayahudi’?”
40 Alle crieden eftsoone, and seiden, Not this, but Baraban. And Barabas was a theef.
Wao wakapiga kelele wakisema, “Si huyu mtu, bali tufungulie Baraba!” Yule Baraba alikuwa mnyangʼanyi.
