uYohana 18
1 Ze yakilaa uYesu kuligitya imakani aya, ai uhegile ni amanyisigwa akwe kulongola ku ng'wapo nua kidron, naize ikoli inzega, naize ung'wenso ni amanyisigwa akwe akingila mukati akwe.
After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
2 Itungili uyo uYuda, nai walowaa kumuhulyaa, nu ng'wenso ai ulingile nkika nanso, kuiti uYesu ai watulaa wilongolaa inkika iyi nkua kitungaa aze ukoli ni amanyisigwa akwe.
Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
3 Nu ng'wenso uYuda, ze yakilaa kutula walijaa idale ni la asikali ni a ofisa puma ku akulu a akuhani, akapembya aze akete ni muli, tochi ni yigi.
So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Nu ng'wenso uYesu, iti aze uilgile kila ikintu nai katula kikitung'wa kung'wa akwe, akapumila ntongeela nu kuakolya, “Ingi nyenyu ni mukumuduma?”
Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 Nienso aka musukiilya, “Yesu Munazareti.” Nu ng'wenso uYuda nai umugumaniiye, ai watulaa wimikile palung'wi ni awo i asikali.
They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
6 Ku lulo nai waatambuila, “Unene ng'wenso” ai asukile kinyuma nu kugwa pihi.
When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
7 Hangi aka akolya, “Ingi nyenyu ni mukumuduma? Ni enso akamusukiilya hangi “Yessu munazareti.”
He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
8 uYesu aka asukiilya, “Nakondyaa kumuila kina Unene ng'wenso; ku lulo anga ize mukunduma nene, aleki awa i auya alongole.”
Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
9 Aya ai atulaa iti lukani ulo lukaminkiile; apo nai uligitilye; “Mu awo nai ununkiiye, shanga numulimiiye ga nung'wi.”
[This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
10 Uugwa uSimioni Petro, naiwatulaa ni mpanga, akamipyagula nu kumutema kutyi nua kigoha umunya milimo nuang'wa Kuhani nu mukulu. Ni lina nilakwe u munya milimo nuanso ai latulaa Malko.
Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 uYesu akamutambuila uPetro, “Susha i mpanga ako mu hala akwe. Ku niki ndeke kuking'wela i kikombe iko nuninkiiye uTata?”
Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
12 Uugwa idale ilo nila asikali ni ajemedari, ni anyamilimo a Ayahudi, ai amuambile uYesu nu kumutunga.
Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
13 Nienso akamutonga hanza kupikiila kung'wa Anasi, ku iti ung'wenso ai watulaa mukwingwa nuang'wa Kayafa, naiza yuyo ai watulaa Kuhani nu mukulu ku ng'waka nuanso.
Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
14 Itungili uKayafa yuyo ai watulaa uinkiiye isigo i Ayahudi nila kina utakiwe muntu ung'wi washe ku noko a antu.
Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
15 uSimioni Petro ai umutyatile uYesu, ni u umu manyisigwa nu muya. Nu munyisigwa uyu ai watulaa umanyikile kung'wa Kuhani nu mukulu, nu ng'wenso akingila palung'wi nuYesu mi itando nilang'wa Kuhani nu mukulu;
Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
16 kuiti uPetro ai watulaa wimikile kunzi a mumpita. Uugwa uyo umu manyisigwa nai watulaa umanyikile kung'wa Kuhani nu mukulu, ai upumile kunzi akalongola kitambuila nu musungu uyu munyamilimo nai watulaa ukusunja u mumpita nu kumingilya uPetro mukati.
But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
17 Uugwa mutugwa uyo nai watulaa ukusunja u mumpta, akamutambuila uPetro, “Itii uewe shanga wi ung'wi nua atyatiili a muntu uyu?'” Nung'wenso akasukiilya, “Unene shanga.”
The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
18 Ni awo i anyamilimo ni akulu ai atulaa imikile ikianza nikapa ng'wanso; akota moto ku ndogoelyo, ai ukoli ulyuuku, ni iti ai atulaa akota moto iti alije ilugute, Nu ng'wenso uPetro ai watulaa ni enso, ukota moto aze wimikile.
It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
19 Kuhani nu mukulu akamukolya uYesu migulya a amanyisigwa akwe nu umanyisigwa nuakwe.
[While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
20 uYesu akamusukiilya, “Nuutambuie kihenga u unkumbigulu; Unene ai manyisilye nkua ku nkua mu matekeelo ni itekeelo ni ikulu kianza naiza i Ayahudi ilingiila. Nunene shanga ai ndigitilye kihi mu kinkunku.
Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
21 Ku niki ai munkoiye? Akolyi nai antegeeye migulya a iko nai ndigitilye. iAntu awa alingile imkani ayo nai nimaligitilye.
[So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
22 uYesu nai wakondya kuligitya nanso, ung'wi nua akulu nai watulaa wimikile akamukua uYesu ku mukono nuakwe ni uugwa akaligitya,
After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
23 “Itii, uu nutakiwe kumusukiilya umukulu?” Nu ng'wenso uYesu akamusukiilya, “Anga ize ndigitilye ikani lihi ibibi uugwa utule wimukuiili ku nsoko a ubii, ni anga ize numusukiiye iziza ku niki ukunkua?
Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
24 Uugwa uAnasi nai wakamutwala uYesu kung'wa Kayafa kuhani nu mukulu aze utungilwe.
Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Itungili uSimioni Petro ai watulaa wimikile ukipupya iluguti u mukola. Ga ni iti antu awo akamutambuila, “Itii, ga nu ewe shanga ung'wi nua amanyisigwa akwe?” Akahita azeligitya, “Unene shanga.”
As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
26 Ung'wi nua anyamilimo ang'wa Kuhani nu mukulu, Naiza ai watulaa muluna wang'wa uyo u mugoha naiza uPetro umutemile u kutyu, ai uligitilye, “Itii, shanga u ewe naza nukihengile uko ku nzega?'
[Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
27 uPetro akahita hangi, ni nkua i nsamba ligugu ika kunkula.
Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
28 Uugwa akamuhola uYesu puma kung'wa Kayafa kupikiila mu Praitorio. Ai yatulaa dau mania mbwa. Enso akola shanga ai ingiie ilo iPraitorio iti aleke kishapula nu kumilya i pasaka.
Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
29 Ku lulo uPilato aka ahanga nu kuligitya, “Ingi usemelwa kii nu umutuile umuntu uyu?”
So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
30 Akamusukiilya nu kumutambuila, “Anga aza ize umuntu uyu watule shanga mituma ubibi, shanga azaa kuzeemuleta kitalako.”
[They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
31 uPilato aka atambuila, Muholi unyenye akola, mende mumulamule kuniganiila ni lagiilyo nilanyu.” Ni enso i Ayahudi akamutambuila, 'Ilagiilyo shanga likulekee usese kumubulaga muntu wihi.”
Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
32 Ai aligitilye aya iti lukani nu lang'wa Yesu lukondaniile, lukani naiza watulaa wakondyaa ligitya migulya a mpyani a nsha akwe.
[The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
33 Uugwa uPilato akingila mu praitorio akamitanga uYesu; akamutambuila, “Itii, uewe wi mutemi nu Ayahudi?'
Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 uYesu akamusukiilya, '“Itii, uewe ukunkolya ikolyo ili ku nsoko uloilwe kulingaa ang'wi ku nsoko angiiza akulagiiye iti unkolye unene?”
Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
35 Nu ng'wenso uPilato akamusukiilya, “Unene shanga ni Muyahudi, ang'wi shanga?” Ingu nuako ni a kuhani akulu wawo niakuletile kitalane; uewe witumile ki ntuni?
Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
36 uYesu aka sukiilya; “Uutemi nuane shanga nua unkumbigulu uwu, anga ize u utemi nuane azautule ni patyo mu unkumbigulu uwu atung'waa ane aza aze ninkuilya iti ndeke kupumigwa ku Ayahudi. Ku tai u utemi nuane shanga upumile apa” Ila
Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
37 uPilato akamutambuila, “Itii, uewe gwa wi mutemi?” uYesu akasukiilya, “u ewe yuyo ukuligitya kina unene ni mutemi, ku nsoko iyi unene ai ntugilwe ni ku nsoko iy unene nazilee mu unkumbigulu iti ntule numukuiili nua tai. Wihi nuailee wa tai iyo witegeelya u luli nuane.
Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
38 uPilato akamutambuila, “Itai ki ntuni?” Nu ng'wenso nai wakondya kuligitya aya akalongola ku Ayahudi nu kuatambuila, “shanga kihenga mu muntu uyu kihi.
Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
39 Unyenye mukete logo nulanyu nu ukuntenda nu mutunguile ung'wi itungo nila pasaka. Itii muloilwe numutunguile mutemi nua Ayahudi.”
But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
40 Uugwa akakua iyogo azeligitya, shanga yuyu, kutunguilye uBaraba.” nu ng'wenso uBaraba ai watulaa muhegelanyi.
They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
