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,
Baada ya Yesu kusema maneno haya, aliondoka na wanafunzi wake kuelekea bonde la Kidron, ambako kulikuwa na bustani, ambako yeye na wanafunzi wake wakaingia ndani yake.
2 and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.
Sasa yule Yuda, aliyetaka kumsaliti, naye alilijua eneo hilo, kwani Yesu alikuwa akienda hili eneo mara kadhaa akiwa na wanafunzi wake.
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;
Naye Yuda, baada ya kuwa amepata kundi la maaskari na maofisa toka kwa wakuu wa makuhani, wakaja wakiwa na taa, kurunzi na silaha.
4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, 'Whom do ye seek?'
Naye Yesu, hali akijua kila kitu kilichokuwa kikifanyika dhidi yake, alijitokeza mbele na akawauliza, “Ni nani mnayemtafuta?”
5 they answered him, 'Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, 'I am [he];' — and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; —
Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu Mnazareth.” Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye” Naye Yuda aliyemsaliti, alikuwa amesimama pamoja na wale askari.
6 when, therefore, he said to them — 'I am [he],' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
Kwa hiyo alipowaambia, “Mimi ndiye” walirudi kinyume na kuanguka chini.
7 Again, therefore, he questioned them, 'Whom do ye seek?' and they said, 'Jesus the Nazarene;'
Halafu akawauliza tena, “Ni nani mnayemtafuta? Nao wakamjibu tena “Yesu mnazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, 'I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'
Yesu akawajibu, “Nimekwisha kuwaambia kuwa Mimi ndiye; kwa hiyo kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa wengine waende.”
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.'
Haya yalikuwa hivyo ili lile neno litimilike; pale aliposema; “Katika wale ulionipa, sikumpoteza hata mmoja.”
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 —
Ndipo Simon Petro, aliyekuwa na upanga, akaufuta na kumkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa Kuhani mkuu. Na jina lake mtumishi yule lilikuwa Malko.
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?'
Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako kwenye ala yake. Kwa nini nisikinywee kikombe kile alichonipa Baba?”
12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,
Basi lile kundi la askari na jemedari, na watumishi wa Wayahudi, walimkamata Yesu na kumfunga.
13 and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
Nao wakamwongoza kwanza mpaka kwa Anasi, kwani yeye alikuwa mkwe wa Kayafa, ambaye ndiye aliyekuwa Kuhani mkuu kwa mwaka huo.
14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.
Sasa Kayafa ndiye aliyekuwa amewapa ushauri Wayahudi ya kwamba ilimpasa mtu mmoja afe kwa ajili ya watu.
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,
Simon Petro alimfuata Yesu, na vivyo hivyo mwanafunzi mwingine. Na yule mwanafunzi alikuwa akifahamika kwa kuhani mkuu, naye akaingia pamoja na Yesu katika behewa ya Kuhani mkuu;
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.
lakini Petro alikuwa amesimama nje ya mlango. Basi yule mwanafunzi aliyekuwa akifahamika kwa kuhani mkuu, alitoka nje akaenda kuongea na yule mwanamke mtumishi aliyekuwa akilinda mlango na kumwingiza Petro ndani.
17 Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, 'Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, 'I am not;'
Basi yule kijakazi aliyekuwa akilinda mlango, alimwambia Petro, “Je wewe si mmoja wa wafuasi wa huyu mtu?” Naye akasema, “Mimi siye.”
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.
Na wale watumishi na wakuu walikuwa wakisimama mahali pale; wamekoka moto wa kwa maana, kulikuwa na baridi, na hivyo walikuwa wakiota moto ili kupata joto. Naye Petro alikuwa nao, akiota moto akiwa amesimama.
19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;
Kuhani mkuu alimhoji Yesu juu ya wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.
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;
Yesu akamjbu, “Nimeuambia waziwazi ulimwengu; Mimi nilifundisha mara kwa mara kwenye masinagogi na hekaluni mahali ambapo wayahudi hukusanyika. Nami sikusema lolote katika siri.
21 why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'
Kwa nini mliniuliza? Waulizeni walionisikiliza juu ya kile nilichosema. Hawa watu wanajua mambo yale niliyosema.
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?'
Yesu alipokwisha sema hivyo, mmoja wa wakuu aliyekuwa amesimama akampiga Yesu kwa mkono wake na kisha akasema, “Je, hivyo ndivyo inavyokupasa kumjibu kuhani mkuu?”
23 Jesus answered him, 'If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'
Naye Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nimesema jambo lolote baya basi uwe shahidi kwa ajili ya uovu, na kama nimemjibu vyema kwa nini kunipiga?
24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
Ndipo Anasi alipompeleka Yesu kwa Kayafa kuhani mkuu akiwa amefungwa.
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.'
Sasa Simoni Petro alikuwa amesimama akijipasha joto mwenyewe. Halafu wale watu wakamwambia. “Je, wewe pia si mmoja wa wanaafunzi wake?” Akakana akisema “Mimi siye.”
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?'
Mmoja wa watumishi wa kuhani mkuu, ambaye alikuwa ndugu wa yule mwanaume ambaye Petro alimkata sikio, alisema, “Je si wewe niliyekuona naye kule bustanini?”
27 again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.
Petro akakana tena, na mara Jogoo akawika.
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;
Kisha wakamchukua Yesu toka kwa Kayafa mpaka kwenye Praitorio. Ilikwa asubuhi na mapema. Wao wenyewe hawakuiingia ile Praitorio ili wasije wakanajisika na kuila pasaka.
29 Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, 'What accusation do ye bring against this man?'
Kwa hiyo Pilato akawaendea akisema. “Ni shitaka gani linalomhusu huyu mtu?”
30 they answered and said to him, 'If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'
Wakamjibu na kumwambia, “Kama huyu mtu asingekuwa mtenda maovu, tusingemleta kwako.”
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;'
Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi wenyewe, mkamhukumu kulingana na sheria yenu.” Nao Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Sheria haituruhusu sisi kumwua mtu yeyote.”
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.
Walisema haya ili neno la Yesu litimilike, neno ambalo alikuwa amekwisha sema juu ya aina ya kifo chake.
33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, 'Thou art the King of the Jews?'
Basi Pilato akaingia tena Praitorio akumwita Yesu; akamwambia, “Je, wewe ni mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
34 Jesus answered him, 'From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?'
Yesu akamjibu, “Je, wewe waniuliza swali hili kwa Sababu wataka kujua au kwa sababu wengine wamekutuma ili uniulize mimi?”
35 Pilate answered, 'Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'
Naye Pilato akamjibu, “Mimi si Myahudi, au sivyo?” Taifa lako na kuhani mkuu ndio waliokuleta kwangu; wewe umefanya nini?
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.'
Yesu akajibu; “Ufalme wangu si wa ulimwengu huu, kama ufalme wangu ungekuwa na sehemu katika ulimwengu huu watumwa wangu wangenipigania ili nisitolewe kwa wayahudi. Kwa kweli ufalme wangu hautoki hapa” Basi
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.'
Pilato akamwambia, “Je, wewe basi u mfalme?” Yesu akajibu, “wewe ndivyo unanvyosema kuwa mimi ni mfalme, Kwa sababu hii mimi nilizaliwa na kwa sababu hii mimi nimekuja ulimwenguni ili niwe shahidi wa ile kweli. Yeyote aliye wa hiyo kweli huisikiliza sauti yangu.
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;
Pilato akamwambia, “Kweli ni nini?” Naye alipokwisha sema haya akaenda kwa Wayahudi na kuwaambia “Siona katika lolote mtu huyu.
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?'
Ninyi mna utamaduni unaonifanya nimfunfungulie mfungwa mmoja wakati wa Pasaka. Je mnataka nimfungulie mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
40 therefore they all cried out again, saying, 'Not this one — but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.
Kisha walipiga kelele wakisema, siyo huyu, tufungulie Baraba.” Naye Baraba alikuwa mnyang'anyi.
