John 18
1 Tukun Jesus el pre tari, el wi mwet tumal lutlut illa, ac som tupalla Infacl Srisrik Kidron. Oasr ima se in acn sac, ac Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos utyak nu we.
Having said these things, Jesus went forth with His disciples beyond the Brook of Kidron, where [there] was a garden, into which He entered, Himself and His disciples,
2 Judas, el su ac tukakunulak Jesus, el etu acn sac, mweyen pus pacl Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos tukeni we.
and Judas also, who delivered Him up, had known the place, because Jesus assembled there with His disciples many times.
3 Ouinge Judas el som nu in ima sac, ac pwen sie un mwet mweun lun acn Rome welul, oayapa kutu mwet soan ke Tempul ma supweyukla sin mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee. Elos us mwe mweun, lam ac kahp welulos.
Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with torches and lamps, and weapons;
4 Jesus el etu na ma nukewa ma ac sikyak nu sel, ouinge el kalukyang nu yorolos ac siyuk selos, “Su kowos suk an?”
Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming on Him, having gone forth, said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
5 Elos topuk, “Jesus lun Nazareth.” El fahk, “Nga pa el.” Judas el wi tu inmasrlon un mwet sac.
They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene”; Jesus says to them, “I AM”; and Judas who delivered Him up was standing with them.
6 Ke Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Nga pa el,” elos kohloli ac topla nu infohk ah.
When, therefore, He said to them, “I AM,” they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Jesus el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Su kowos suk an?” Ac elos fahk, “Jesus lun Nazareth.”
Again, therefore, He questioned them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene”;
8 Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk tari nu suwos lah nga pa el. Fin nga pa kowos suk an, fuhlela mwet inge in som.” (
Jesus answered, “I said to you that I AM; if, then, you seek Me, permit these to go away”;
9 El fahk ouinge tuh in akpwayeiyuk kas se el tuh fahk meet: “Papa, tia sie selos su kom ase nu sik tuhlac likiyu.”)
that the word might be fulfilled that He said, “Those whom You have given to Me, I did not lose even one of them.”
10 Oasr cutlass se yorol Simon Peter, na el faesak ac sang paki sie sin mwet kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat, ac wotela sracl layen layot. Inen mwet kulansap sac pa Malchus.
Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear—and the name of the servant was Malchus—
11 Jesus el fahk nu sel Peter, “Isongya cutlass nutum an nu ke ma nukumyen! Mea, kom nunku mu nga ac tia nim ke cup in keok se ma Papa El se nu sik uh?”
Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father has given to Me, may I not drink it?”
12 Toko mwet mweun Rome ac captain lalos, wi mwet soan lun mwet Jew, elos sruokilya Jesus ac kaprilya,
The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound Him,
13 ac kololla meet nu yorol Annas. Annas pa papa tumun mutan kial Caiaphas, su Mwet Tol Fulat ke yac sac.
and they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
14 Caiaphas pa tuh sang kas in kasru nu sin mwet fulat lun mwet Jew mu, ac fal tuh mwet sefanna in misa ke mwet nukewa.
and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews that it is good for one man to perish for the people.
15 Simon Peter ac sie pac mwet lutlut eltal fahsr tokol Jesus. Mwet lutlut se saya ah eteyuk sin Mwet Tol Fulat, ouinge el welul Jesus utyak na nwe ke inkul lun Mwet Tol Fulat,
And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus into the hall of the chief priest,
16 a Peter el mutana likin kalkal ah sisken mutunpot ah. Na mwet lutlut se ngia el tufoki ac kaskas nu sin mutan kulansap se su karingin mutunpot uh, ac pwanulak Peter nu in kalkal ah.
and Peter was standing at the door outside, therefore the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went forth, and he spoke to the doorkeeper, and he brought in Peter.
17 Mutan sac fahk nu sel Peter, “Ku kom tia sie sin mwet lutlut lun mwet sacn?” Peter el topuk, “Mo, tia nga.”
Then the maid, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you also of the disciples of this Man?” He says, “I am not”;
18 Mwet kulansap ac mwet topang elos tanak tari sie e ke mulut ke sripen arulana ohu, ac elos tu raunela ac langlung kac. Na Peter el welulosyang tu langlung.
and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
19 Mwet Tol Fulat el lolngok sin Jesus ke mwet tumal lutlut ac ke luti lal ah.
The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching;
20 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Pacl nukewa nga kaskas lemtulauk nu sin mwet uh. Luti luk nukewa orek in iwen lolngok ac in Tempul, yen mwet nukewa tukeni we. Wangin kutena ma nga fahk in lukma.
Jesus answered him, “I spoke freely to the world, I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret;
21 Na efu kom ku kusen siyuk sik? Siyuk sin mwet ma lohngyu ah lah mea nga fahk nu selos. Elos etu ma nga fahk.”
why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known what I said.”
22 Ke Jesus el fahk ma inge, sie sin mwet soan su tu we puokya likintupal ac fahk, “Kom ku kaskas angan nu sin Mwet Tol Fulat!”
And He having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Thus do You answer the chief priest?”
23 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Fin oasr ma nga fahk tuh sufal, akkalemye nu sesr nukewa. A fin pwaye ma nga fahk uh, efu kom ku puokyu?”
Jesus answered him, “If I spoke ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why do you strike Me?”
24 Jesus el srakna kapir ke Annas el supwalla nu yorol Caiaphas, Mwet Tol Fulat.
Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 Peter el srakna tu langlung insac, na kutu sin mwet uh fahk nu sel, “Ku tia kom pa sie sin mwet lutlut lun mwet sacn?” A Peter el sifil lafu ac fahk, “Mo, tia nga.”
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, then they said to him, “Are you also of His disciples?” He denied and said, “I am not.”
26 Sie sin mwet kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat, su sou lun mwet se ma Peter el pakela insrac ah, el kasla ac fahk, “Kom pa nga liye welul Jesus in ima sac — pwaye?”
One of the servants of the chief priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
27 Peter el sifilpa fahk, “Mo” — na in pacl sacna, won se kahkla.
Again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28 Toang na in lotu sac, utukla Jesus liki lohm sel Caiaphas nu inkul fulat sel governor. Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew uh elos tuh tia wi utyak nu inkul fulat sac ke sripen elos tia lungse akfohkfokyalos, elos in mau ku in mongo ke Kufwen Alukela.
They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover;
29 Ouinge Pilate el ilme nu yorolos ac siyuk, “Mea kowos tukakin mwet se inge kac uh?”
Pilate, therefore, went forth to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
30 Top lalos nu sel pa, “El funu tia orala sie ma koluk lulap, kut lukun tia usalu nu yurum.”
They answered and said to him, “If He were not doing evil, we had not delivered Him to you.”
31 Pilate el fahk nu selos, “Fin angan, kowos sifacna usal ac nununkal fal nu ke ma sap lowos an.” Elos topuk ac fahk, “Ma sap lowos, mwet Rome, tia lela nu sesr in wotela sie mwet in anwuki.” (
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 to us to put anyone to death”;
32 Ma inge sikyak in akpwayei ma Jesus el fahk ke el fahkak luman misa ma el ac misa kac.)
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which He said, signifying by what death He was about to die.
33 Pilate el sifil utyak nu in lohm sel ac sap in utuku Jesus nu yorol, na el siyuk sel, “Ya kom pa tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
Pilate, therefore, entered into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?”
34 Jesus el topuk, “Ya ma na kom sifacna siyuk, ku mwet pa fahk nu sum keik?”
Jesus answered him, “Do you say this from yourself? Or did others say it to you about Me?”
35 Pilate el topkol ac fahk, “Ya kom nunku mu nga sie mwet Jew? Mwet lom sifacna ac mwet tol fulat pa eiskomme nu sik. Mea kom orala uh?”
Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests delivered You up to me; what did You do?”
36 Jesus el fahk, “Tokosrai luk uh tia ma lun facl se inge. Funu ma lun faclu, mwet ma fahsr tukuk lukun anwuk in taranyu liki poun mwet fulat lun mwet Jew. Mo. Tokosrai luk tia ma faclu!”
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, My officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
37 Ke ma inge Pilate el siyuk sel, “Fin angan, ya tokosra se pa kom?” Jesus el topuk, “Kom pa fahk mu tokosra se pa nga uh. Nga isusla ac tuku nu faclu ke na sripa se inge: in kaskas ke ma pwaye. Kutena mwet su ma lun ma pwaye elos porongeyu.”
Pilate, therefore, said to Him, “Are You then a king?” Jesus answered, “You say [it], because I am a king; I have been born for this, and I have come into the world for this, that I may testify to the truth; everyone who is of the truth, hears My voice.”
38 Pilate el siyuk, “Ac mea ma pwaye?” Na Pilate el sifil illa nu yurin mwet uh ac fahk nu selos, “Nga tia ku in konauk kutena ma koluk lun mwet se inge.
Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?” And having said this, again he went forth to the Jews and says to them, “I find no fault in Him;
39 Tusruktu in fal nu ke oakwuk uh, yac nukewa ke pacl in Kufwen Alukela nga muta aksukosokyela sie mwet kapir nu suwos. Kowos lungse nga in aksukosokyela tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
and you have a custom that I will release to you one in the Passover; do you determine, therefore, [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Mo, tia el! Kut lungse Barabbas!” (Barabbas el sie mwet pisrapasr sulallal.)
Therefore they all cried out again, saying, “Not this One—but Barabbas”; and Barabbas was a robber.
