Joni 18
1 Hagi ana nanekema huvareteno, Jisasi'a atreno disaipol naga'ane Kidroni agupofi vute'za, ananteti vumare'za mago knagune zafa hoza me'nefi vu'naze.
After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
2 Judasi'ma komoru huntesia ne'mo'a, ana zafa knagune hoza ke'ne, na'ankure Jisasi'a disaipol naga'ane knagune hozafi mago'a knafina zamareno vutere'ma higeno keno antahino hu'ne.
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 Higeno Judasi'a mago'a Romu sondia kevune, ra mono nonte kva nehaza naga'ma (Gats), vugote'naza pristi vahe'mo'zane Farisi vahe'mo'zama huzmantaza vahe'mo'za olivi zafa hozafi tosine, tafentavi'ene, ha'zane eri'nageno Judasi'a zamavareno vu'ne.
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 Mika'zama Agrite fore haniazana, na'ankure Jisasi'a antahino keno nehuno, Azanku nehakraze? huno zamantahige'ne.
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 Zamagra ana kemofo nona'a Agriku hu'za, Nazareti kumateti Jisasinku nehakrone, hazageno, Nagra ana Nere. higeno Judasi'ma komoru huno ha' vahe zamazampi avrentesia ne'mo zamagrane anante oti'ne.
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 Hagi Jisasi'a anage zamagrikura hu'ne, Nagra ana Nere hige'za, zamefiti vu'za mopafi traka truku humse'naze.
When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
7 Ana hazageno, Jisasi'a mago'ene zamantahige'ne, Tamagra azanku nehakraze? Hige'za zamagra hu'za, Nazareti kumateti Jisasinku nehakrone.
He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
8 Hazageno Jisasi'a ke nona'a huno, Ko'ma Nagra ana Nere hu'na tamasmi'noe, Nagriku'ma nehakrehanuta, ama vahera zamatrenke'za viho.
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 Agrama hu'neana, ko'ma Agra'ama hunte'nea kemofo nena'a fore hinogu hu'ne. Kagrama nami'nana vahepintira magore hu'na Nagra zamatroge'za afe osu'naze, hu'nea kegu hu'ne.
[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 Hagi Pita'a bainati kazinkno eri'nereti anoma'afinti avazu hia zamo vugote'nea pristi ne'mofo kazokzo eri'za nera tamaga kaziga agesa ahe tavrofe atre'ne. Ana kazokzo eri'za ne'mofo agi'a Malkusi'e.
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 Ana higeno Jisasi'a Pitankura huno, Bainati kazinka'a anoma'afi vazinto. Nenfa'ma nami'nea tin tafempintira (kapu) Nagra onesuo?
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 Anante mago sondia kevune, sondia vahete vugota huno kvagri zmante'nea ne'ene, Jiu vahe'mokizmi ati vahe'mo'zane, Jisasina azeri'za azante nofi kinte'naze.
Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
13 Anakite'za esera Anasinte avare'za vu'naze, na'ankure agra Kaiafasi nenemo'e. Kaiafasi'a ana kafumofo agu'afina vugota pristi ne' mani'ne.
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 Korapara Kaiafasi Jiu kva vahera antahintahizamino, hakare vahe'mokizmi nona huno magoke ne'mo frigahie huno hu'nea nere.
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 Saimon Pita ene, magora Jisasima amage' nentea disaipoli ne'ene Jisasima avare'za Anasinte vazage'za anantega zamavririke vu'na'e. E'i anama vu'nea disaipoli nera, pristi ne'mo'a ke'nea disaipoli ne'kino Jisasi'ene vugota pristi ne'mofo kumapina ufre'ne.
Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
16 Hianagi Saimon Pita'a kasante fegi'a otino mani'ne. Ana higeno Jisasi amage' nentea disaipoli nera vugota pristi ne'mo ke'nea ne'mo atiramino, kazokzo eri'za mofa'mo kafante kva hu'nea mofa asamigeno, Pitana avreno agu'afi emareri'ne.
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 Anante kazokzo eri'za mofa'ma kafante kva nehia mofa'mo Pitanku amanage huno antahige'ne, Kagra ama Ne' amage' nentana disaipol nere, tamage ana nepi? Huno antahigegeno, A'o, Nagra ru nere.
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 Anantera kazokzo eri'za vahe'ene, nonte kva nehaza vahe'ene, tanknuzare teve hegre'za oti'za mani kagi'naze. Na'ankure zasi hige'za teve tohiku hugre'naze. Pita'enena ana tevere uoti'neno teve tohi'ne.
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 Ana zama fore nehigeno'a, vugota pristi ne'mo, amage nentaza disaipol naga'ene, rempi'ma huzami'nea kegu Jisasina agenoka hu'ne.
[While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
20 Jisasi'a ana kenona'a anage hu'ne, Nagra amate mika kaziga nanekea hu'noe. Nagra maka zupa Jiu vahe osi mono nompine (sinagog) ra mono noma (tempol), Jiu vahe maka atru nehaza nomofo megi'a rempihuzami'noe, Nagra magore hu'na oku'a nanekea huozmi'noe.
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 Na'anku Nagria nantahi negane? Nentahizage'na huzmasmi'noa vahe zamantahigenka ko, Nagrama hu'noa nanekea, zamagra antahi'naze.
[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 Jisasi'ma ana nanekema higeno'a, mago ra mono nonte kva nehia ne'mo, Jisasina avugosafi ruhapatino neheno amanage hu'ne, E'inahu hunka vugota pristi vahe kerera ke nona hugahano?
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 Higeno Jisasi'a ke nona huno agri asmi'ne, Havigema hu'nesua zanku'ma nehanugenka, havizani'a hufore huo, hianagi tamage kema nehuana nahigenka kagra nenahane?
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 Higeno anante Anasi'a nofira ovasneno huntegeno, Kaiafasi vugota pristi nete avare'za vu'naze.
Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Hagi Saimon Pita'a oti'neno teve tonehige'za, tevere mani'naza vahe'mo'za antahige'za, Kagra'nena e'ina ne' amage' nentana disaipol ne' mani'nampi? Hu'za antahigageno, Pita'a vahane huno, A'o nagra ru nere.
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 Mago vugota pristi ne'mofo kazokzo eri'za ne'ma, Pita kazi knonteti (bainat) agesa rutavrofe atre'nea ne'mofona nefu' Pitanku huno, Zafa hozafi Agrane mani'nanke'na kagrira kage'noa nepi, ru nere?
[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 Higeno, Pita'a mago'ene vahane nehigeno, ana amage hantaka'a, kokoremo ageru ru'ne.
Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
28 Hagi ananteti zamagra Kaiafasintetira ko'atu avame Jisasina avare'za Romu ugagota kva (gavana) ne'mofo nonte vu'naze. Vunazanagi zamagra ugagota nemofo kumapina uofre'naze. Ana zamo zamazeri pehena resige'za, Hibru vahe kinafinti zamare'nea knagu antahimi'za neza nenaza knare ovuzanku ana hazageno,
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 Paeroti ne'mo zamagritega megi'a atiramino eno anage hu'ne, Ama'na nera nankemofo agafare nanekea hu'nentaze? Huno zamantahige'ne.
So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
30 Zamagra kenona hu'za asmi'naze, Ama ne'mo'ma hazenke ne'ma omani'nesina, tagra avreta kagritera omosine.
[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 Hazageno Paeroti'a zamasmi'ne, Tamagratami avaretma tamagri kasegemo hu'nesia kante Agrira keaga hunteho. Jiu vahe'mo'za Paerotinku anage hu'naze. Tagrira vahe'ma zamahe fri'zantera i'o hurante'naze.
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 Ana kema hu'nazana, Jisasi'ma korapa Agrama fritenoma otinia zankuma zamasmi'nea kemo e'ama hu'ne.
[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 E'ina higeno, anante Paeroti'a eteno ugagota vahe (gavana) nompi vuno, Jisasina kehuno, Kagra Jiu vahe'mokizmi Kinifi? Huno antahige'ne.
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 Higeno Jisasi'a kenona huno, Kagra kagesafinti ke nehampi, mago'a vahe'mo'za Nagri'kura kasmi nagenka nehano?
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 Paeroti'a ke nona huno, Nagra Jiu ne' mani'nofi? Kagri vahe'mo'zane, ra mono kva vahe'mo'za (hai pristi) Kagrira kazerite'za, kvare'za eme nami'naze. Kagra na'a hu'nantere?
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 Jisasi ke nona'a hu'no, Nagri kumara ama mopafina omne'ne. Ama mopare kva vahe mani'noresina eri'za vahenimo'za, Nagritekura ha' hazage'za, Nagrira navre'za Jiu vahera ozamizasine, hianagi Nagri kumara ama mopafina omne'ne.
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 E'inage higeno Paeroti'a asmi'ne, Higenka Kagra kinio? Jisasi ke nona'a hu'ne, Kagra Nagriku'ma kinie nehanana tamage. Ama'na kegafare Nagra ama mopafina efore hu'noe. Nagra ama'na agafare ama mopafina e'noe, tamage naneke huama hunaku e'noe. Maka vahe'mo'za tamage nanekegu zamave'ma nesimo'za, Nagri nagerute zamagesa ante'za nentahi'za tamage hu'za nehaze.
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 Higeno Paeroti'a antahige'ne, Tamage nanekea inanknahu ke me'ne? Anagema huteno'a, megi'a atiramino Jiu kva vahete vuno anage hu'ne, Mago havizana nagra, Agripina ke'na erifore osue.
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 Hu'neanagi tamagri avu'avate kinafinti tamavare'nea (Pasova) knare mago ne' kinafinti azeri atretere hugahue hu'negu, tamagrama antahi'zana nagra kinafintira, Jiu vahe'motma Kini ne' huntesugeno vanio?
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 Hige'za kezati'za amanage hu'naze, Ama'na nera avare otre'gahane. Hagi Barabasi avare atro, Barabasina kumzafa ne'ku hu'naze.
They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
