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.
When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with his disciples over the brook Kedron; where there was a garden, into which He entred, and his disciples. Now Judas who was gone to betray Him,
2 Azɔ Yuda, ame si de Yesu asi la hã nya teƒe sia, elabena Yesu kplɔa eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yina afi ma edziedzi.
knew the place: for Jesus often met there together with his disciples: Judas therefore having got a band of soldiers,
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.
and officers from the chief priests and pharisees, cometh thither with candles, 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?”
Upon which Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon Him, went forth and said unto them, Whom do ye seek? They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene.
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.)
Jesus saith unto them, I am He. And Judas that betrayed Him, was standing with them.
6 Esi Yesu gblɔ be, “Nyee nye esi,” la, ameawo katã zɔ yi megbe, eye wodze anyi.
Now as soon as He said unto them, I am He, they went backwards and fell to the ground.
7 Yesu gabia wo be, “Ame ka dim miele?” Eye wogblɔ be, “Yesu Nazaretitɔ la dim míele.”
Then He asked them again, Whom do ye seek?
8 Yesu gblɔ be, “Megblɔe na mi be nyee nye esi. Nenye nye dim miele la, ekema mina ame siawo nadzo.”
And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
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 had spoken, "Of those, whom Thou hast given me, I have lost none."
10 Ke Simɔn Petro ɖe eƒe yi le aku me, eye wòkpa ɖusimeto na Malkus, nunɔlagãtɔ la ƒe subɔla.
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name 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?”
But Jesus said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the 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.
So the band with the captain, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus, and bound Him:
13 Gbã la, wokplɔe yi na Anas, si nye Kayafa to, ame si nye nunɔlagã le ƒe ma me.
and led Him away to Annas first: (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high-priest that year: )
14 Kayafae nye ame si ɖo aɖaŋu na Yudatɔwo be anyo be ame ɖeka naku ɖe dukɔ la ta.
and Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest. Now Caiaphas was he who had said in council to the Jews, 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,
And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. And that other disciple being known to the high priest went in with Jesus into the high-priest's 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 Peter stood at the door without: the other disciple therefore, who was known to the high-priest, went out and spake to her that kept the door, and brought Peter in.
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 saith the maid, that kept the door, to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? and he said, 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 officers stood there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and 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 high-priest therefore asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and 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.
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world, I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews are continually resorting: and in secret have said nothing. Why dost thou ask me?
21 Nu ka ta miele gbe biamem ɖo? Mibia gbe ame siwo se nye nyawo. Wose nya siwo megblɔ la.”
ask them that heard me, what I have said unto them: for they know what 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 upon his saying these things, one of the officers that stood by struck Jesus, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest thus?
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 have ever spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why dost thou strike me?
24 Ale Yesu nɔ babla, eye Anas na wokplɔe yi na Kayafa, nunɔlagã la.
[See verse 24 between verse 13 and 14.]
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 stood warming himself: and they said to him, Art not thou one of his disciples? and he denied it, 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?”
Then said one of the servants of the high-priest, kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off, Did not I see thee in the garden with Him?
27 Ke Petro gasẽ nu be yemenya Yesu o, eye enumake, koklo ku atɔ.
Peter then denied it again, and immediately the cock crew.
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.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: (now it was morning) and they themselves went not in to the court, least they should be defiled, and so might not eat of 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?”
Therefore Pilate went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye 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 him, If He were not a malefactor, we should not have delivered Him to thee.
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.”
Then said Pilate to them, Take Him, and judge Him according to your law. But the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 Esia dzɔ be nya siwo Yesu gblɔ ɖi tso ku si ƒomevi wòaku ŋu la nava eme.
that what Jesus had said might be fulfilled, signifying 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?”
Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus and said to Him, Art thou 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, Dost thou say this from thyself, or did others tell it thee of 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 replied, Am I a Jew? thine own nation, 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.”
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not have been delivered to the Jews: but 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.”
Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest right, I am a king. For this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, even that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that 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.
Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth? And as soon as he had spoke, he went out again to the Jews,
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 saith unto them, I find no fault at all in Him. But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I 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.
Then they all cried out again, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
