< Yokaana 18 >

1 Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’afuluma n’abayigirizwa be, ne balaga emitala w’akagga Kidulooni. Mu kifo ekyo mwalimu ennimiro y’emizeeyituuni, Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne bayingira omwo.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2 Yuda, eyamulyamu olukwe, ekifo ekyo yali akimanyi, kubanga Yesu yagendangayo emirundi mingi ng’ali n’abayigirizwa be.
Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3 Awo Yuda n’ajja mu kifo ekyo ng’ali n’ekibinja ky’abaserikale, n’abaweereza ba Bakabona abakulu n’ab’Abafalisaayo. Bajja nga balina ettaala n’emimuli n’ebyokulwanyisa.
Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Yesu bwe yamanya byonna ebyali bigenda okumubaako, n’avaayo n’ababuuza nti, “Munoonya ani?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 Ne baddamu nti, “Tunoonya Yesu Omunnazaaleesi.” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ye Nze,” Yuda, eyamulyamu olukwe, yali ayimiridde nabo.
They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Yesu bwe yabagamba nti, “Ye Nze” ne badda emabega ne bagwa wansi.
When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Yesu n’ababuuza omulundi ogwokubiri nti, “Munoonya ani?” Ne baddamu nti, “Yesu Omunnazaaleesi.”
Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mbabuulidde nti, Ye Nze. Kale obanga munoonya Nze, bano mubaleke bagende.”
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
9 Yakola kino, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire ekigamba nti, “Abo be wampa saabuzaako n’omu.”
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
10 Awo Simooni Peetero, eyalina ekitala, n’akisowolayo, n’atema omuddu wa Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’amusalako okutu okwa ddyo. Erinnya ly’omuddu oyo nga ye Maluko.
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Yesu n’alagira Peetero nti, “Zza ekitala mu kiraato kyakyo. Ekikompe Kitange ky’ampadde, siikinywe?”
Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
12 Awo ekibinja ky’abaserikale n’omuduumizi waabwe n’abaweereza b’Abayudaaya, ne bakwata Yesu ne bamusiba.
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
13 Ne bamutwala ewa Ana, eyali mukoddomi wa Kayaafa, Kabona Asinga Obukulu mu mwaka ogwo.
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Kayaafa oyo, y’oli eyawa Abayudaaya amagezi nti, “Kirungi omuntu omu afiirire bonna.”
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
15 Simooni Peetero n’omuyigirizwa omulala eyali amanyiddwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu, ne bagoberera Yesu. Omuyigirizwa oyo eyali amanyiddwa n’agoberera Yesu mu luggya lwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu,
Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
16 nga Peetero ye ayimiridde wabweru ku mulyango; omuyigirizwa oyo omulala bwe yayogera n’omuggazi w’oluggi n’ayingiza Peetero.
but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Omuwala omuggazi n’abuuza Peetero nti, “Naawe oli omu ku bayigirizwa b’omuntu oyo?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Nedda.”
Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
18 Obudde bwali bwa mpewo, abaddu n’abaweereza baali bakumye omuliro nga boota, ne Peetero naye ng’ayimiridde nabo ng’ayota omuliro.
Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Awo Ana eyaliko Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’abuuza Yesu ebifa ku bayigirizwa be ne ku kuyigiriza kwe.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Nayogeranga lwatu eri ensi, bulijjo n’ayigirizanga mu makuŋŋaaniro ne mu Yeekaalu, Abayudaaya bonna mwe bakuŋŋaanira, soogeranga kintu na kimu mu kyama.
Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
21 Lwaki obuuza Nze? Buuza abo abaawuliranga bye njogera. Bamanyi bye nnaayogera.”
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
22 Yesu bwe yayogera ekyo omu ku baweereza eyali ayimiridde awo n’amukuba oluyi n’amugamba nti, “Oddamu otyo Kabona Asinga Obukulu?”
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
23 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Obanga njogedde bubi kinnumirize ekibi, naye obanga kirungi, kale onkubira ki?”
Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
24 Awo Ana n’aweereza Yesu nga musibe eri Kayaafa Kabona Asinga Obukulu.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Mu kiseera ekyo Simooni Peetero yali ayimiridde ng’ayota omuliro. Ne bamubuuza nti, “Naawe oli omu ku bayigirizwa ba Yesu?” N’abaddamu nti, “Nedda.”
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 Awo omu ku baddu ba Kabona Asinga Obukulu, muganda w’oyo Peetero gwe yasalako okutu, n’amubuuza nti, “Saakulabye naye mu nnimiro?”
One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
27 Peetero n’addamu okwegaana. Amangwago enkoko n’ekookolima.
Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Awo Abayudaaya ne baggya Yesu ewa Kayaafa ne bamutwala mu lubiri lwa gavana Omuruumi. Obudde bwali bwakakya, ne batayingira mu lubiri baleme okusobya omukolo ogw’okwetukuza, si kulwa nga basubwa okulya Embaga y’Okuyitako.
They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29 Awo Piraato n’afuluma ebweru gye baali n’ababuuza nti, “Musango ki gwe muvunaana omuntu ono?”
Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
30 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Singa yali tazizza musango tetwandimuleese gy’oli.”
They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
31 Piraato kyeyava abagamba nti, “Kale mmwe mumutwale mumusalire omusango okusinziira mu mateeka gammwe.” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetukkiriza kutta muntu yenna.”
Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
32 Kino ne kituukiriza ebyo Yesu bye yayogera ku nfa gye yali agenda okufaamu.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 Awo Piraato n’addayo mu lubiri n’ayita Yesu. N’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?”
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Ekyo okyogedde ku bubwo oba balala be bakubuulidde ebinfaako?”
Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
35 Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Nze ndi Muyudaaya? Abantu bo ne Kabona Asinga Obukulu be bakundeetedde. Okoze ki?”
Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
36 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Obwakabaka bwange si bwa mu nsi muno. Singa bubadde bwa mu nsi eno abaweereza bange bandirwanye ne siweebwayo mu Bayudaaya. Naye obwakabaka bwange si bwa mu nsi muno.”
Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
37 Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Kwe kugamba oli kabaka?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Okyogedde nti ndi kabaka. Ekyo kye nnazaalirwa era kye kyandeeta mu nsi, ntegeeze amazima. Era abo bonna abaagala amazima bawulira eddoboozi lyange.”
Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
38 Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Amazima kye ki?” Piraato bwe yamala okwogera bw’atyo n’afuluma ebweru eri Abayudaaya n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu ono talina musango.
Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
39 Naye ku buli mbaga ejjuukirirwako Okuyitako mulina empisa, onkusaba mbateere omusibe omu. Kale mwagala mbateere Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?”
But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 Bonna kyebaava baleekaanira waggulu nga bagamba nti, “Nedda, si oyo, wabula tuteere Balaba.” Balaba oyo yali munyazi.
Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
