< 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 things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
2 Na rĩrĩ, Judasi, ũrĩa wamũkunyanĩire, nĩooĩ handũ hau, nĩ ũndũ Jesũ nĩacemanagĩria ho kaingĩ na arutwo ake.
And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together 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.
Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Nake Jesũ nĩ ũndũ nĩamenyaga maũndũ marĩa mothe maakirie kũmũkora-rĩ, akiumĩra akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ mũracaria?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?
5 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Jesũ wa Nazarethi.” Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ we.” (Nake Judasi ũcio wamũkunyanĩire aarũngiĩ hau hamwe nao.)
They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
6 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aameerire atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ we,” magĩcooka na thuutha makĩgũa thĩ.
As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 O rĩngĩ Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ mũracaria?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Jesũ wa Nazarethi.”
Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndamwĩra atĩ nĩ niĩ we. Akorwo nĩ niĩ mũracaria-rĩ, rekei andũ aya mathiĩ.”
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.
9 Gwekĩkire ũguo nĩgeetha ũhoro ũrĩa aarĩtie ũhinge, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa waheire gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ndeete.”
That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.
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, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Nake Jesũ agĩatha Petero atĩrĩ, “Cookia rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora! Gĩkombe kĩrĩa Baba aaheete-rĩ, nĩngwaga gũkĩnyuĩra?”
Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Nayo mbũtũ ĩyo ya thigari na mũnene wayo, hamwe na anene acio a Ayahudi makĩnyiita Jesũ. Makĩmuoha na
Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:
13 makĩamba kũmũtwara kwa Anasi, ũrĩa warĩ mũthoniwe wa Kaiafa, ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene mwaka ũcio.
And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.
14 Kaiafa nĩwe wataarĩte Ayahudi atĩ no gũkorwo arĩ wega mũndũ ũmwe akuĩre andũ othe.
Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die 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 followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court 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 stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.
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.”
The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith: 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 ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.
19 Ihinda-inĩ o rĩu, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene oragia Jesũ ũhoro wa arutwo ake na ũhoro wa ũrutani wake.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
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 answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Ũranjũria ũguo nĩkĩ? Ũria arĩa mananjigua ngĩaria. Ti-itherũ nĩmoĩ ũrĩa ndanoiga.”
Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.
22 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oigire ũguo, ũmwe wa thigari iria ciarĩ hau akĩmũgũtha rũhĩ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo ũgũcookeria mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene?”
And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩndoiga ũũru-rĩ, heana ũira wa ũũru ũcio. No angĩkorwo ndaaria ũhoro wa ma-rĩ, wangũthĩra kĩ?”
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?
24 Nake Anasi akĩmũneana atwarwo arĩ o muohe kũrĩ Kaiafa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas 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!”
And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: 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 kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 O rĩngĩ Petero agĩkaana, na o hĩndĩ ĩyo ngũkũ ĩgĩkũga.
Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.
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.
Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor’s hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Pilato akiuma akĩmakora kũu nja akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ mũramũthitangĩra kĩ?”
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?
30 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Atangĩrĩ muuni watho-rĩ, tũtingĩmũrehe kũrĩ we.”
They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
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.”
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 for us 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 be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.
33 Pilato agĩcooka agĩtoonya gĩikaro kĩu kĩa Barũthi, agĩĩta Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũthamaki wa Ayahudi?”
Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũcio nĩ woni waku, kana nĩ andũ makwĩrĩte ũhoro wakwa?”
Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?
35 Nake Pilato akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩkĩrĩ Mũyahudi? Andũ anyu na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene nĩo makũneanĩte kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩ atĩa wĩkĩte?”
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou 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 answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.
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.”
Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth 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 saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.
39 No ningĩ nĩ mũtugo wanyu hĩndĩ ya Bathaka ndĩmuohorere mũndũ ũmwe. Nĩmũkwenda ndĩmuohorere ‘mũthamaki wa Ayahudi’?”
But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
40 Nao makĩanĩrĩra, magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca, tũtikwenda ũcio! Tuohorere Baraba!” Na rĩrĩ, Baraba ũcio aarĩ mũtunyani.
Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
