John 18
1 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,
Jesuh ktaiyü law päng se axüisaw he am Kidron Lawngca caye da va citkie. Acuna hnüna ngvawng veki, acun üng axüisaw he am atänga lutkie.
2 and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.
Jesuh cun axüisaw he am acuna hnüna khawvei cit khawikiea kyase, cengkia Judah Iskarot naw acuna hnün cun ksingki.
3 Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;
Judah ngvawng da citki. Romah yekape, ktaiyü ngvaie ja Pharisee naw ami jah tüi law Temple ngängkia khyange avang jah lawpüi se, mthikcime, meiim ja ngtukmei jah kawteikie cun acuia a jah lawpüi.
4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, 'Whom do ye seek?'
Jesuh naw a khana pha law khai naküt jah ksingei lü, va cit lü, “U nami suiki ni?” a ti.
5 they answered him, 'Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, 'I am [he];' — and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; —
Amimi naw, “Nazaret Jesuh,” ni ami ti. Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni” a ti. Cengkia Judah pi ami ksunga ngdüi hngaki.
6 when, therefore, he said to them — 'I am [he],' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni” a ti ja, ami hnua ngnawn u lü mdeka kyukie.
7 Again, therefore, he questioned them, 'Whom do ye seek?' and they said, 'Jesus the Nazarene;'
Jesuh naw, “U nami suiki ni?” ti lü a jah kthäh betü. Amimi naw, “Nazaret Jesuh” ami ti.
8 Jesus answered, 'I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'
Jesuh naw, “Acun cun kei ni, ti lü ka ning jah mtheh päng; kei nami na suikia a kyak üng akce he cit u se” a ti.
9 that the word might be fulfilled that he said — 'Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'
(Acun cun, “Nang naw na na jah pet mat pi käh ka mkhyüh khai ni” ti lü a ngthu pyen akümnak vaia kyaki.)
10 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear — and the name of the servant was Malchus —
Sihmon Pita naw kcim a kbahei kset lü Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha mpyaa nghnga khet da a ksawm pat. Acuna mpyaa ngming cun Malakhuha kyaki.
11 Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, 'Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'
Jesuh naw Pita üng, “Kcim a im üng xawn bea; ka Pa naw a na peta khuikhatnak khawt hin am ka aw khai aw?” a ti.
12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,
Acunüng, Romah yekape ja Temple ngängkia Judah khyange naw Jesuh man u lü, khitkie naw,
13 and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
Annaa veia ami cehpüi ma u. Anna cun acuna kum üng Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih Kaiphaha pupua kyaki.
14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.
Kaiphah cun, “Khyang khawhaha phäh khyang mat a thih daw bawki” ti lü, Judah ngvaie jah mthehkia khyanga kyaki.
15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,
Sihmon Pita ja axüisaw he üngka mat naw Jesuh läki xawi. Acuna axüisaw üngka mat cun Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih naw ksingki; Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha im ngvawng mkawt k’uma Jesuh am lutki xawi.
16 and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.
Acunsepi Pita cun khawkpung mkawt peia ngdüiki. Acunüng axüisaw kce mat va nghlat be lü mkawt ksawh ngängki nghnumica kthäh lü Pita a luh lawpüi.
17 Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, 'Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, 'I am not;'
Mkawt ksawh ngängkia nghnumica naw Pita üng, “Nang pi ania xüisawa am na kyaki aw?” a ti. “Am ni nawng” Pita naw a ti.
18 and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
Khawsikia kyase, mpyae ja Romah yekape naw mei tik lü ngdüi lü mei omkie. Pita pi ami hlawnga va ngdüi lü mei awmei hngaki.
19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;
Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih naw axüisaw hea mawng ja a jah mtheia mawng Jesuh üng a kthäh.
20 Jesus answered him, 'I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;
Jesuh naw msang lü, “Ngthu ka pyen üng khyanga hmuh ngjaka va ka pyenki. Sinakok ja Judahea ami ngbumnak Templea ka jah mthei khawiki, khyange pi ngcun lawkie, ampyua i am pyen khawi nawng.
21 why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'
“Ise na na kthäh ni? Ami veia ka ngthu pyena mawng cun ka ngthu ngjakie jah kthäha; acune naw i ka pyen ksingki he” a ti.
22 And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, 'Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'
Acun a pyen üng a peia ngdüiki, yekap mat naw Jesuh kbei lü, “Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih ahikba na msangki aw?” a ti.
23 Jesus answered him, 'If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'
Jesuh naw, “Ka pyen mkhye a ve üng ahin üng veki naküt üng jah mtheha. Ka pyen cangki ani üng, ise na na kbeiki ni?” a ti.
24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
Acunüng Anna naw Jesuh a ngkhihnak mahmaha Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih Kaiphah a veia a tüih.
25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, 'Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, 'I am not.'
Sihmon Pita ngdüi lü mei om ham se, khyang kce he naw, “Nang pi ania xüisawa am na kyaki aw?” ami ti üng, “Am ni nawng,” ti lü, ngcim betüki.
26 One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, 'Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'
Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha a mpya Pita naw a nghnga a ksawm pata a mjükphyüi mat naw, “Ani am ngvawnga ve niki se ka ning jah hmuh am ni mä?” a ti.
27 again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.
Pita a ngcim betü ja; ainghlüi khawngki.
28 They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;
Khawa ngawi law üng, Jesuh Kaiphaha im üngkhyüh sangpuxanga Bawingawhnaka ami cehpüi u. Judah ngvaie cun sangpuxanga Bawingawhnaka am lut u. Lätnak Pawi buh ami einak thei vaia, ngcingcaihnak am amimät ami ve vaia phäh kyaki.
29 Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, 'What accusation do ye bring against this man?'
Acunüng, Pilat akpunga lut law lü, “Hina khana i nami mkatnak ve se aw?” a ti.
30 they answered and said to him, 'If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'
Amimi naw, “Hin hin khyangkaa am a ni üng na veia am lawpüi sawxat u nawng” ti lü ami msang.
31 Pilate, therefore, said to them, 'Take ye him — ye — and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, 'It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;'
Pilat naw, “Namimät naw cehpüi u lü, nami thuma kba cijang ua,” a ti. Judah mkhawnge naw, “Kami ngaiha u hnim vaia thum am ve” ami ti.
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.
(Acun cun a thih vaia mawng Jesuh naw a pyena mäiha akümnak law vaia kyaki.)
33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, 'Thou art the King of the Jews?'
Pilat naw Bawingawhnaka lut be lü Jesuh khüki naw, “Nang Judahea sangpuxanga na kyaki aw?” ti lü a kthäh.
34 Jesus answered him, 'From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?'
Jesuh naw, “Hina ngthu hin namäta mlung üngka naw lut lawki aw. Am ani üng ka mawngma khyange naw ning mtheh u se na pyen aw?” ti lü a kthäh be.
35 Pilate answered, 'Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'
Pilat naw, “Kei Judah khyanga na ngaih aw? Namäta khyang mjüe ja ktaiyü ngvaie naw ka kut üng ami na msum lawa na kyaki. Ia mkhyenak na pawh ni?” ti lü a msang.
36 Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'
Jesuh naw, “Ka khaw ta hina khawmdek üng am sängei; ka khaw hin hina khawmdek üng a sängei vai sü ta ka hnukläke naw Judah ngvaiea kut üngkhyüh na yung khaie sü; ka khaw hin hina khawmdeka am ni” ti lü a pyen.
37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, 'Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'
Pilat naw, “Acunüng, nang sangpuxang aw?” ti se, Jesuh naw, “Ä, na pyena mäiha kei sangpuxang ni. Ka hmi lawnak ja khawmdek khana ka lawnak hin ngthungtak saksinak vaia phäha kyaki. Au pi ngthungtak üng sängeiki naküt naw ka ngthu ngaiki” a ti.
38 Pilate saith to him, 'What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, 'I do find no fault in him;
Pilat naw Jesuh üng, “Ngthungtak cun i ni?” a ti. Acuna ngthu a pyen päng ja Judahea veia cit lü, “Thihnak awng vaia mkhyenak ani üng am hmu veng,
39 and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'
acunsepi Lätnak Pawi k’um üng thawng kyum mat ka ning jah mhlät pet vaia thum nami taki. Acunakyase, Judahea sangpuxang hin ka ning jah mhlät pet vaia nami ngaiki aw?” a ti.
40 therefore they all cried out again, saying, 'Not this one — but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.
Amimi naw ngpyang u lü, “Ani käh mhläta. Barabah jah mhlät peta” ami ti. (Barabah cun mawa ve lü kcim kcei bikia mpyukeia kyaki.)
