Johana 18
1 Jesũ aarĩkia kũhooya, agĩthiĩ arĩ na arutwo ake, makĩringa mũkuru wa Karũũĩ ga Kidironi. Mũrĩmo ũcio ũngĩ nĩ haarĩ na mũgũnda wa mĩtamaiyũ, agĩtoonya ho na arutwo ake.
When Jesus had said these words he went out with his disciples over the stream Kedron to a garden, into which he went with his disciples.
2 Na rĩrĩ, Judasi, ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire, nĩooĩ handũ hau, nĩ ũndũ Jesũ nĩacemanagĩria ho kaingĩ na arutwo ake.
And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Judasi agĩthiĩ hau mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio, atongoretie mbũtũ ya thigari na anene amwe kuuma kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai. Nao nĩmakuuĩte icinga, na matawa, na indo cia mbaara.
So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.
4 Nake Jesũ nĩ ũndũ nĩamenyaga maũndũ marĩa mothe maakirie kũmũkora-rĩ, akiumĩra akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ mũracaria?”
Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?
5 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Jesũ wa Nazarethi.” Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ we.” (Nake Judasi ũcio wamũkunyanĩire aarũngiĩ hau hamwe nao.)
Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.
6 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aameerire atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ we,” magĩcooka na thuutha makĩgũa thĩ.
And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.
7 O rĩngĩ Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ mũracaria?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Jesũ wa Nazarethi.”
So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndamwĩra atĩ nĩ niĩ we. Akorwo nĩ niĩ mũracaria-rĩ, rekei andũ aya mathiĩ.”
Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.
9 Gwekĩkire ũguo nĩgeetha ũhoro ũrĩa aarĩtie ũhinge, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa waheire gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ndeete.”
(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Simoni Petero, tondũ aarĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, akĩrũcomora na agĩtinia gũtũ kwa ũrĩo kwa ndungata ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene. (Ndungata ĩyo yetagwo Maliku.)
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Nake Jesũ agĩatha Petero atĩrĩ, “Cookia rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora! Gĩkombe kĩrĩa Baba aaheete-rĩ, nĩngwaga gũkĩnyuĩra?”
Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?
12 Nayo mbũtũ ĩyo ya thigari na mũnene wayo, hamwe na anene acio a Ayahudi makĩnyiita Jesũ. Makĩmuoha na
Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.
13 makĩamba kũmũtwara kwa Anasi, ũrĩa warĩ mũthoniwe wa Kaiafa, ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene mwaka ũcio.
They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.
14 Kaiafa nĩwe wataarĩte Ayahudi atĩ no gũkorwo arĩ wega mũndũ ũmwe akuĩre andũ othe.
It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.
15 Simoni Petero marĩ na mũrutwo ũngĩ makĩrũmĩrĩra Jesũ. Na tondũ mũrutwo ũcio nĩoĩo nĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, agĩtwarana na Jesũ kũu nja ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio mũnene.
And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;
16 No Petero agĩtigwo etereire hau nja ya kĩhingo. Nake mũrutwo ũcio ũngĩ, woĩo nĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, agĩcooka, akĩaria na mũirĩtu ũrĩa warĩ kĩhingo-inĩ agĩtoonyia Petero.
But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.
17 Nake mũirĩtu ũcio warĩ kĩhingo-inĩ akĩũria Petero atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũrĩ ũmwe wa arutwo a mũndũ ũyũ?” Nake agĩcookia agĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, ndirĩ ũmwe wao.”
Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.
18 Na rĩrĩ, ndungata na thigari ciarũgamĩte irigiicĩirie mwaki ũrĩa ciakĩtie ikĩwota, tondũ kwarĩ na heho. Petero o nake aarũgamĩte hamwe nao agĩota mwaki.
Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.
19 Ihinda-inĩ o rĩu, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene oragia Jesũ ũhoro wa arutwo ake na ũhoro wa ũrutani wake.
Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ njarĩirie andũ othe a thĩ itarĩ ũndũ ngũhitha, na ngarutana hĩndĩ ciothe thunagogi-inĩ o na hekarũ-inĩ, kũrĩa Ayahudi othe macemanagia. Ndirĩ ũndũ njaragia na hitho.
Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.
21 Ũranjũria ũguo nĩkĩ? Ũria arĩa mananjigua ngĩaria. Ti-itherũ nĩmoĩ ũrĩa ndanoiga.”
Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.
22 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oigire ũguo, ũmwe wa thigari iria ciarĩ hau akĩmũgũtha rũhĩ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo ũgũcookeria mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene?”
When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?
23 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩndoiga ũũru-rĩ, heana ũira wa ũũru ũcio. No angĩkorwo ndaaria ũhoro wa ma-rĩ, wangũthĩra kĩ?”
Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?
24 Nake Anasi akĩmũneana atwarwo arĩ o muohe kũrĩ Kaiafa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Simoni Petero arũgamĩte agĩota mwaki, akĩũrio atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũrĩ ũmwe wa arutwo a mũndũ ũyũ?” Nake agĩkaana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, ndirĩ ũmwe wao!”
But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.
26 Ndungata ĩmwe ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na yarĩ ya mbarĩ ya mũndũ ũrĩa Petero aatinĩtie gũtũ, ĩkĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Na githĩ niĩ ndirakuonire mũrĩ nake hau mũgũnda-inĩ wa mĩtamaiyũ?”
One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?
27 O rĩngĩ Petero agĩkaana, na o hĩndĩ ĩyo ngũkũ ĩgĩkũga.
Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.
28 Ningĩ Ayahudi makĩruta Jesũ gwa Kaiafa makĩmũtwara gĩikaro-inĩ kĩa Barũthi wa Kĩroma. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kwarĩ rũciinĩ tene, na nĩgeetha matikagwatwo nĩ thaahu, Ayahudi matiatoonyire gĩikaro kĩu; nĩ ũndũ nĩmendaga mahote kũrĩa gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka.
So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato akiuma akĩmakora kũu nja akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ mũramũthitangĩra kĩ?”
So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?
30 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Atangĩrĩ muuni watho-rĩ, tũtingĩmũrehe kũrĩ we.”
They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.
31 Nake Pilato akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kĩmuoei inyuĩ ene mũkamũciirithie kũringana na watho wanyu.” Nao Ayahudi makĩregana na ũhoro ũcio, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtirĩ na rũũtha rwa kũũraga mũndũ o na ũ.”
Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death.
32 Maũndũ maya mekĩkire nĩgeetha ciugo iria Jesũ aarĩtie akĩonania mũthemba wa gĩkuũ kĩrĩa agaakua ihingio.
(That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)
33 Pilato agĩcooka agĩtoonya gĩikaro kĩu kĩa Barũthi, agĩĩta Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?”
Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũcio nĩ woni waku, kana nĩ andũ makwĩrĩte ũhoro wakwa?”
Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?
35 Nake Pilato akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩkĩrĩ Mũyahudi? Andũ anyu na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene nĩo makũneanĩte kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩ atĩa wĩkĩte?”
Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?
36 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki wakwa ti wa gũkũ thĩ. Korwo nĩ ũguo-rĩ, ndungata ciakwa nicingĩndũĩrĩire ndikanyiitwo nĩ Ayahudi. No ũthamaki wakwa nĩ wa kuuma kũndũ kũngĩ.”
Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.
37 Nake Pilato akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, wee ũkĩrĩ Mũthamaki!” Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩwaria ma kuuga atĩ niĩ ndĩ Mũthamaki. Ma nĩ atĩrĩ, gĩtũmi gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩatũmire njiarwo, na nĩkĩo ndokire gũkũ thĩ atĩ nyumbũrage ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma. Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ mwena wa ũhoro wa ma nĩathikagĩrĩria.”
Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.
38 Nake Pilato akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũhoro wa ma nĩ ũrĩkũ?” Aarĩkia kũũria ũguo akiuma nja o rĩngĩ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Ayahudi akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndirona gĩtũmi gĩa kũmũthitangĩra.
Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.
39 No ningĩ nĩ mũtugo wanyu hĩndĩ ya Bathaka ndĩmuohorere mũndũ ũmwe. Nĩmũkwenda ndĩmuohorere ‘mũthamaki wa Ayahudi’?”
But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?
40 Nao makĩanĩrĩra, magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca, tũtikwenda ũcio! Tuohorere Baraba!” Na rĩrĩ, Baraba ũcio aarĩ mũtunyani.
Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.
