Yohani 18
1 Yesu peamali kujova genago, akakupuka kamfuleni kekikemelewa Keduloni, pamonga na vawuliwa vaki. Pandu apo pavi na lidimba, Yesu akayingila pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
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 Yuda, mweamng'anamukili Yesu, apamanyili pandu penapo, ndava Yesu ahambayi pamahele Yesu akonganiki na vawuliwa vaki kwenuko.
And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.
3 Hinu, Yuda atoli msambi wa manjolinjoli va Chilumi na valonda va Nyumba ya Chapanga, kuhuma kwa vakulu va vateta na Vafalisayu, akabwela navu palidimba kuni vagegi hahi na lumuli na migoha na vibonga.
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 Yesu, kuni imanya gegakumkolela, akavahegelela, akavakota, “Mukumulonda yani?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?
5 Vene vakamyangula, “Yesu Mnazaleti!” Yesu akavajovela, “Nene, ndi mwene.” Yuda mweakumung'anamukila yula ayimili bahapo pamonga navu.
They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
6 Yesu peavajovili, “Nene ndi mwene.” Vakawuya mumbele vakagwa pahi.
As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Mwene akavakota kavili, “Mukumulonda yani?” Vakamyangula, “Yesu Mnazaleti!”
Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Yesu akavayangula, “Nimali kuvajovela kuvya mwene ndi nene, ndava mukunilonda nene muvaleka ava vahamba.”
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.
9 Ajovili genago muni gatimilayi geajovili gala, “Dadi vala vewanipelili nakumyagisa hati mmonga.”
That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.
10 Simoni Petili avi na upanga, ndi akauholomola, na kumdumula likutu la kulyela mtangatila wa Mteta Mkulu. Mtumisi mwenuyo liina laki Maluko.
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 Yesu akamyangula, Petili, “Wuyisa upanga muchihaku. Wu, chikombi cha mang'ahiso cheanipeli Dadi nikotoka kunywa?”
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 Msambi wa manjolinjoli va Chilumi pamonga na vakulu vavi, na valonda va Vayawudi vamkamwili Yesu, vakamkunga,
Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:
13 na kumupeleka hoti kwa Anasi, Anasi avi mkohanu wa Kayafa mweavi Mteta Mkulu mwaka wenuwo.
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 Kayafa ndi yula mweavajovili vachilongosi va Vayawudi kuvya mbanga mundu mmonga afwayi ndava ya vandu.
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 Petili pamonga na muwuliwa yungi vamlandili Yesu. Muwuliwa mwenuyo amanyikini kwa Mteta Mkulu, akayingila pamonga na Yesu mu luvanja lwa Mteta Mkulu.
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 Nambu Petili ayimili kuvala ya mlyangu. Yula muwuliwa yungi, mweamanyikini kwa mteta mkulu, akahuma kuvala na kujova na msikana mlonda wa mlyangu, akamyingisa Petili mugati.
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 Msikana mlonda wa mlyangu, akamkota Petili, “Wu, na veve mmonga wa vawuliwa va mundu uyu?” Petili akamjovela, “Nene lepi!”
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 Vatumisi na valonda vayota motu ndava kwavi na mbepu. Petili namwene ayimili na vayaki kuyota motu.
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 Mteta mkulu akamkota Yesu kumvala mawuliwu gaki pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Yesu akamyangula, “Nijovili na kila mundu hotohoto ligono kwa ligono. Magono goha navawulili munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, pandu pevikonganeka Vayawudi voha, na nakujova chamfiyu.
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 Ndava kyani ukunikota nene? Uvakota vala vevayuwini navajovili kyani. Vene vimanya chenavajovili.”
Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.
22 Peamali kujova genago mlonda mmonga mweayimili papipi, akampamanda Yesu, akamjovela, “Wu, ndi chaukumyangula Mteta Mkulu?”
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 Yesu akamyangula, “Ngati nijovili uhakau langisa uhakau wene, nambu ngati nijovili chakaka, ndava kyani ukunitova?”
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?
24 Hinu, Anasi ampeliki Yesu kwa Kayafa kuni akungiwi, mweavi mteta mkulu.
And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.
25 Simoni Petili ayimili penapo kuyota motu. Hinu vakamkota, “Wu, veve mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki?” Mwene akabela na kujova, “Nene lepi!”
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 Mmonga wa vatumisi wa Mteta Mkulu, muyaki yula mweadumuliwi likutu na Petili, akamkota “Wu, nene nakuwene lepi veve kulidimba pamonga naku?”
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 Kangi Petili akabela kavili, bahapo lijogolo likavika.
Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.
28 Kangi vakamtola Yesu kuhuma kwa Kayafa, vampeliki kunyumba ya chinkosi. Yavi hamba kucha, muni vanyambasika palongolo ya Chapanga. Vahotola kulya Pasaka vene vayingili lepi munyumba ya chilongosi wa Loma vakotoka kuhakaswa.
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 Pilatu avahumila chakuvala, akavakota, “Lijambu loki lemukumtakila mundu uyu?”
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?
30 Vakamyangula, “Ngati mwenuyu kuvya abudili lepi ngatimletili lepi kwaku.”
They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31 Pilatu akavajovela, “Ena, mumtola mumuhamula mwavene, kulandana na malagizu ginu.” Vayawudi vakamyangula, “Tete tivii lepi na uhotola wa kumuhamula mundu yoyoha afwayi.”
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 Yakitiki ago gatimilayi malovi geajovili Yesu kulangisa yati ifwa namuna yoki.
That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.
33 Pilatu akayingila kavili munyumba yaki, akamkemela Yesu na kumkota. “Ati veve ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi?”
Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?
34 Yesu akamyangula, “Wu, genago maholo gaku amala vandu vangi vakujovili kunivala nene?”
Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?
35 Pilatu akayangula, “Mwe! Myawudi nene? Vandu vaku na vakulu va kuteta vakuletili kwa nene. Uhengili kyani?”
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
36 Yesu akayangula, “Unkosi wangu lepi wa mulima uwu. Ngati kuvya unkosi wangu wa mulima wenuwu, vandu vevamlanda Yesu ngavanikengelili, vachilongosi va Vayawudi ngavanikamwili lepi. Nambu hinu unkosi wangu lepi wa penapa.”
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 Pilatu akamjovela, “Hinu veve ndi Nkosi?” Yesu akayangula, “Veve ndi ujova kuvya nene ndi Nkosi. Ndava yeniyo nene nivelikiwi na nibweli pamulima kuvajovela vandu uchakaka. Mundu yeyoha wa uchaka akuniyuwanila.”
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 Pilatu akamkota, “Uchakaka ndi chindu kiki?” Pilatu peamali kujova ago, akavahambila kavili vachilongosi va Chiyawudi kuvala, “Akavajovela nene nichiwene lepi chindu cheabudili.
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 Nambu ndi mvelu winu nene kuvadindulila, muchifungu mundu mmonga lukumbi lwa Pasaka. Hinu mwigana nivadindulila Nkosi wa Vayawudi?”
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 Penapo vakayangula. “Mwe! Lepi mwenuyo mdindulila Balaba!” Balaba avi mundu mweinyaga vandu vindu.
Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
