Yohanes 18
1 Esi Yesu do gbe ɖa vɔ la, eya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo ɖato Kidron Bali la me. Woyi egodo, eye woyi abɔ aɖe si le afi ma la me.
Having said these things, Jesus went forth with His disciples beyond the Brook of Kidron, where [there] was a garden, into which He entered, Himself and His disciples,
2 Azɔ Yuda, ame si de Yesu asi la hã nya teƒe sia, elabena Yesu kplɔa eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yina afi ma edziedzi.
and Judas also, who delivered Him up, had known the place, because Jesus assembled there with His disciples many times.
3 Ale Yuda va abɔ la me, eye wònɔ ŋgɔ na nunɔlagãwo, Farisitɔwo, asrafowo kple kpovitɔwo. Ale wodze mɔ kple akakatiwo kple akaɖiwo kple aʋawɔnuwo va do ɖe abɔ la me afi si Yesu le.
Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with torches and lamps, and weapons;
4 Yesu nya nu siwo katã le dzɔdzɔ ge ɖe dzi la. Eyi wo gbɔ, eye wòbia wo be, “Ame ka dim miele?”
Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming on Him, having gone forth, said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
5 Wogblɔ be, “Yesu Nazaretitɔ la dim míele.” Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nyee nye esi.” (Eye Yuda, ame si fia eyomemɔ la hã nɔ tsitre ɖe wo gbɔ le afi ma.)
They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene”; Jesus says to them, “I AM”; and Judas who delivered Him up was standing with them.
6 Esi Yesu gblɔ be, “Nyee nye esi,” la, ameawo katã zɔ yi megbe, eye wodze anyi.
When, therefore, He said to them, “I AM,” they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Yesu gabia wo be, “Ame ka dim miele?” Eye wogblɔ be, “Yesu Nazaretitɔ la dim míele.”
Again, therefore, He questioned them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene”;
8 Yesu gblɔ be, “Megblɔe na mi be nyee nye esi. Nenye nye dim miele la, ekema mina ame siawo nadzo.”
Jesus answered, “I said to you that I AM; if, then, you seek Me, permit these to go away”;
9 Yesu gblɔ nya sia bena wòawu nya si wògblɔ ɖi la nu be, “Nyemebu ame siwo nètsɔ nam la dometɔ aɖeke o.”
that the word might be fulfilled that He said, “Those whom You have given to Me, I did not lose even one of them.”
10 Ke Simɔn Petro ɖe eƒe yi le aku me, eye wòkpa ɖusimeto na Malkus, nunɔlagãtɔ la ƒe subɔla.
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—
11 Yesu gblɔ na Petro be, “Tsɔ wò yi la de aku me. Ɖe mele be mano kplu si Fofo la tsɔ nam la oa?”
Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father has given to Me, may I not drink it?”
12 Ale Yudatɔwo ƒe kpovitɔwo kple asrafowo kpakple asrafomegãwo lé Yesu, eye woblae.
The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound Him,
13 Gbã la, wokplɔe yi na Anas, si nye Kayafa to, ame si nye nunɔlagã le ƒe ma me.
and they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
14 Kayafae nye ame si ɖo aɖaŋu na Yudatɔwo be anyo be ame ɖeka naku ɖe dukɔ la ta.
and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews that it is good for one man to perish for the people.
15 Simɔn Petro kple nusrɔ̃la ɖeka wodze Yesu yome. Esi nunɔlagã la dze si nusrɔ̃la sia ta la, woɖe mɔ nɛ wòge ɖe nunɔlagã la ƒe xɔxɔnu,
And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus into the hall of the chief priest,
16 gake enɔ na Petro be wòalala le agboa nu. Nusrɔ̃la bubu sia, ame si nunɔlagã la nya la, trɔ gbɔ va ƒo nu na ɖetugbi si nɔ agboa nu dzɔm, eye wòɖe mɔ na Petro wòge ɖe eme.
and Peter was standing at the door outside, therefore the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went forth, and he spoke to the doorkeeper, and he brought in Peter.
17 Dɔlanyɔnuvi la bia Petro be, “Menye Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖekae nènye oa?” Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, menye eƒe nusrɔ̃la menye o.”
Then the maid, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you also of the disciples of this Man?” He says, “I am not”;
18 Vuvɔ nɔ wɔwɔm, ale subɔlawo kple kpovitɔwo nɔ dzo ƒum be woƒe lãme naxɔ dzo. Ale Petro hã tsi tsitre ɖe wo gbɔ nɔ dzoa ƒum.
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.
19 Nunɔlagã la bia gbe Yesu tso eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kple eƒe nufiafia ŋu.
The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching;
20 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Meƒo nu le dutoƒo na xexea me. Mefia nu edziedzi le ƒuƒoƒewo kple gbedoxɔ la me, afi si Yudatɔwo katã ƒoa ƒu ɖo. Nyemegblɔ nya aɖeke le ɣaɣlaƒe o.
Jesus answered him, “I spoke freely to the world, I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret;
21 Nu ka ta miele gbe biamem ɖo? Mibia gbe ame siwo se nye nyawo. Wose nya siwo megblɔ la.”
why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known what I said.”
22 Esi Yesu gblɔ nya sia la, asrafo siwo le Yesu ŋu dzɔm la dometɔ ɖeka ƒo tome nɛ hegblɔ be, “Nenema wòle be nàɖo nya ŋu na nunɔlagã lae?”
And He having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Thus do You answer the chief priest?”
23 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne megblɔ nya vɔ̃ aɖe la, ekema tɔ asi nya vɔ̃ si megblɔ la dzi. Gake ne nyateƒe gblɔm mele la, nu ka ta nèƒom ɖo?”
Jesus answered him, “If I spoke ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why do you strike Me?”
24 Ale Yesu nɔ babla, eye Anas na wokplɔe yi na Kayafa, nunɔlagã la.
Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 Esi Simɔn Petro ganɔ dzoa ƒum la, ame bubu gabiae be, “Menye eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖekae nènye oa?” Petro gasẽ nu gblɔ be, “Gbeɖe, menye eƒe nusrɔ̃lae menye o.”
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, then they said to him, “Are you also of His disciples?” He denied and said, “I am not.”
26 Nunɔlagã la ƒe dɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka si nye ame si ƒe to Petro kpa la ƒe ƒometɔ aɖe hã bia Petro be, “Menye wòe mekpɔ le abɔa me, nèle Yesu ŋu oa?”
One of the servants of the chief priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
27 Ke Petro gasẽ nu be yemenya Yesu o, eye enumake, koklo ku atɔ.
Again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28 Ale Yudatɔwo kplɔ Yesu tso Kayafa gbɔ yi ɖe Roma mɔmefia ƒe aƒe mee. Esi ŋu ke ta la, ame siwo kplɔ Yesu ɖo la gbe be yewomage ɖe aƒea me o, elabena womedi be yewoagblẽ kɔ ɖo na yewo ɖokuiwo o; wodi be yewoaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkeke la.
They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas into 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;
29 Ale Pilato, Roma mɔmefia la ŋutɔ do go va kpe wo, eye wòbia wo be, “Nya ka mietsɔ ɖe ame sia ŋu?”
Pilate, therefore, went forth to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
30 Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɖe ame sia menye hlɔ̃dola o la, míele ekplɔ ge vɛ na wò o.”
They answered and said to him, “If He were not doing evil, we had not delivered Him to you.”
31 Pilato gblɔ be, “Mia ŋutɔwo, mikplɔe yii, eye miatsɔ miaƒe sewo adrɔ̃ ʋɔnui.” Yudatɔwo gaɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ŋusẽ mele mía si be míatso kufia na ame aɖeke o.”
Pilate, therefore, said to them, “Take Him—you—and judge Him according to your law”; the Jews, therefore, said to him, “It is not lawful to us to put anyone to death”;
32 Esia dzɔ be nya siwo Yesu gblɔ ɖi tso ku si ƒomevi wòaku ŋu la nava eme.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which He said, signifying by what death He was about to die.
33 Pilato trɔ yi ɖe eƒe fiasã la me, eye wòna wokplɔ Yesu va egbɔe, eye wòbiae be, “Wòe nye Yudatɔwo ƒe fia la?”
Pilate, therefore, entered into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?”
34 Yesu biae be, “Wò ŋutɔ wò susu nu nèbia nya sia ɖo loo alo ame aɖee gblɔe na wòa?”
Jesus answered him, “Do you say this from yourself? Or did others say it to you about Me?”
35 Pilato ɖo eŋu dɔmedzoetɔe be, “Yudatɔe menye hafi nèle nya sia biamem mahã? Wò ŋutɔ wò amewo kple miaƒe nunɔlagãwoe kplɔ wò va gbɔnyee? Nu ka nèwɔ? Agɔ ka nèdze?”
Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests delivered You up to me; what did You do?”
36 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nye fiaɖuƒe metso xexe sia me o. Ɖe nye fiaɖuƒe tso xexe sia me la, ne nye dɔlawo awɔ aʋa ɖe nunye be Yudatɔwo ƒe amegãwo malém o. Nye fiaɖuƒe tso teƒe bubu.”
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 here.”
37 Pilato gabiae be, “Ekema fiae nenye nyateƒea?” Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Ègblɔ nyateƒe be fiae menye. Le nyateƒe me la, susu sia ta wodzim ɖo, eye esia tae meva xexea me ɖo, be maɖi ɖase tso nyateƒe la ŋu. Ame sia ame si xɔ nyateƒe la dzi se la ɖoa tom.”
Pilate, therefore, said to Him, “Are You then a king?” Jesus answered, “You say [it], because I am a king; I have been born for this, and I have come into the world for this, that I may testify to the truth; everyone who is of the truth, hears My voice.”
38 Pilato biae be, “Nu kae nye nyateƒe la?” Esi Pilato gblɔ nya sia la, egado go ɖagblɔ na Yudatɔwo be, “Nyemekpɔ fɔɖiɖi aɖeke le ame sia ŋu o.
Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?” And having said this, again he went forth to the Jews and says to them, “I find no fault in Him;
39 Gake enye míaƒe kɔnu be maɖe asi le gamenɔla ɖeka ŋuti na mi le Ŋutitotoŋkeke la dzi. Miedi be maɖe asi le ‘Yudatɔwo ƒe fia’ la ŋuti na mia?”
and you have a custom that I will release to you one in the Passover; do you determine, therefore, [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 Ke ameawo do ɣli gblɔ be, “Gbeɖe, menye eya o! Ɖe asi le Barabas ŋu na mí!” Baraba sia nye adzodala aɖe si wode gaxɔ me la.
Therefore they all cried out again, saying, “Not this One—but Barabbas”; and Barabbas was a robber.
