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.
THESE said Jeshu, and went forth with his disciples over the ford of Kedrun, where there was a garden, which he entered with his disciples.
2 Azɔ Yuda, ame si de Yesu asi la hã nya teƒe sia, elabena Yesu kplɔa eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yina afi ma edziedzi.
But Jihuda, the traitor, also knew that place, because many-a-time had Jeshu there with his disciples convened.
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.
Jihuda then took a band, and from the chief priests and Pharishee he took officers, and came thither with lanterns and lamps and arms.
4 Yesu nya nu siwo katã le dzɔdzɔ ge ɖe dzi la. Eyi wo gbɔ, eye wòbia wo be, “Ame ka dim miele?”
But Jeshu, who knew every thing that should come upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek you?
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 say to him, Jeshu Natsroia. Jeshu saith to them, I am. And Jihuda the traitor was also standing with them.
6 Esi Yesu gblɔ be, “Nyee nye esi,” la, ameawo katã zɔ yi megbe, eye wodze anyi.
And when Jeshu had said to them, I am, they went backward and fell upon the ground.
7 Yesu gabia wo be, “Ame ka dim miele?” Eye wogblɔ be, “Yesu Nazaretitɔ la dim míele.”
And Jeshu again asked them, Whom seek you? Then they said, Jeshu Natsroia.
8 Yesu gblɔ be, “Megblɔe na mi be nyee nye esi. Nenye nye dim miele la, ekema mina ame siawo nadzo.”
Jeshu saith to them, I have told you that I am; and if me you seek, let these go.
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 which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I have not lost even one.
10 Ke Simɔn Petro ɖe eƒe yi le aku me, eye wòkpa ɖusimeto na Malkus, nunɔlagãtɔ la ƒe subɔla.
But Shemun Kipha had a sword upon him, and he drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and took off his right ear.
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?”
And the name of the servant was Molek. Jeshu said to Kipha, Put up the sword into its sheath; the cup which my Father hath given me shall I not drink it?
12 Ale Yudatɔwo ƒe kpovitɔwo kple asrafowo kpakple asrafomegãwo lé Yesu, eye woblae.
Then the band and the captains and the officials of the Jihudoyee took Jeshu and bound him,
13 Gbã la, wokplɔe yi na Anas, si nye Kayafa to, ame si nye nunɔlagã le ƒe ma me.
and brought him unto Chanan first, because he was father-in-law of Kaiapha, he who was the high priest of that year.
14 Kayafae nye ame si ɖo aɖaŋu na Yudatɔwo be anyo be ame ɖeka naku ɖe dukɔ la ta.
Now it was Kaiapha, he, who had counselled the Jihudoyee that it was expedient that one man should die 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,
But Shemun Kipha, and one of the other disciples, came after Jeshu. And that disciple knew the chief of the priests, and went in with Jeshu into the hall.
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.
But Shemun stood without at the door. And that other disciple, who knew the chief of the priests, went out and told the keeper of the door to admit Shemun.
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.”
But the damsel keeping the door said to Shemun, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He saith to her, No.
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 officials were standing, and they had set a fire to warm them, because it was cold; and Shemun stood also with them and warmed himself.
19 Nunɔlagã la bia gbe Yesu tso eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kple eƒe nufiafia ŋu.
And the high priest questioned Jeshu concerning his disciples, and concerning his doctrine.
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.
And Jeshu said to him, I openly discoursed with the people, and, at all time, taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jihudoyee assemble. And nothing in secret have I spoken.
21 Nu ka ta miele gbe biamem ɖo? Mibia gbe ame siwo se nye nyawo. Wose nya siwo megblɔ la.”
Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what I have said with them. Behold, they know every thing that I have 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 as these (words) he spake, one of the officers who stood (by) struck Jeshu upon his cheek, and said to him, Thus givest thou the answer to the chief of the priests?
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?”
Jeshu replied and said to him, If wickedly I have spoken, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why hast thou struck me?
24 Ale Yesu nɔ babla, eye Anas na wokplɔe yi na Kayafa, nunɔlagã la.
But Chanan had sent Jeshu bound unto Kaiapha, chief of the priests.
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 Shemun Kipha stood and warmed (himself), and they say to him, Thou art also one of his disciples? And 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 of the priests said to him, the brother of him whose ear Shemun had cut off, Did not I see thee with him in the garden?
27 Ke Petro gasẽ nu be yemenya Yesu o, eye enumake, koklo ku atɔ.
And again Shemun denied. And in the same hour the cock 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.
NOW they led Jeshu from Kaiapha into the praetorium, and it was early. But they would not enter the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, until they should have eaten the petscha.
29 Ale Pilato, Roma mɔmefia la ŋutɔ do go va kpe wo, eye wòbia wo be, “Nya ka mietsɔ ɖe ame sia ŋu?”
But Pilatos came forth to them without, and said to them, What accusation have you 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 a worker of evils, we would not to thee have delivered him.
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.”
Pilatos saith to them, Take you him, and judge him according to your law.
32 Esia dzɔ be nya siwo Yesu gblɔ ɖi tso ku si ƒomevi wòaku ŋu la nava eme.
The Jihudoyee say to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death. That the word that Jeshu spake might be accomplished, when he declared by what death he should 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?”
But Pilatos entered the Praetorium, and called Jeshu, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee?
34 Yesu biae be, “Wò ŋutɔ wò susu nu nèbia nya sia ɖo loo alo ame aɖee gblɔe na wòa?”
Jeshu saith to him, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others tell thee concerning 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?”
Pilatos saith to him, Am I a Jihudoya? The sons of thy people and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?
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.”
Jeshu saith to him, My kingdom is not from this world. If from this world were my kingdom, my servants would have fought, that I should not have been delivered to the Jihudoyee. But now my kingdom is not from hence.
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.”
Pilatos saith to him, Then thou art a king? Jeshu saith to him, Thou hast said that I am a king. For this am I born, and for this I came into the world, to testify of the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth 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.
Pilatos said to him, What is the truth? And when he had said this, he went forth again to the Jihudoyee, and said to them, I find not one cause 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?”
But you have a custom that one I should release to you at the petscha. Will you, therefore, that I release to you this King of the Jihudoyee?
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.
And they all cried and said, Not this, but Bar Aba. Now this Bar Aba was a robber.
