Ioanej 18
1 IEJUJ lao kotin majanier mepukat, ap kotila palilan pil Kidron, o japwjlim a tounpadak kan ian i: Matuel eu mi waja o, me i o japwilim a tounpadak kan kotilon on lole.
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 A ludaj me panala i, pil aja waja o, pwe Iejuj o japwilim a tounpadak kan kin purepure Waja o.
Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3 ludaj lao aleer pokon o papa kan jan ren jamero lapalap o parijar akan, ap kokiieila lamp, o jer akan. o kapwa en pei kan.
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 A Iejuj me kotin manior meakaroj, me pan pit i, kotiei won irail majani on irail: Ij me komail rapaki?
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 Re japon i: Iejuj men Najaret. Iejuj kotin majani on irail: Nai i. A ludaj, me panala i, pil u ian irail.
They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Iejuj lao kotin majani on irail: Nai i, re ap puioki jan, pupodi on nan pwel.
When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 A pil kotin kainoma re irail. Ij me komail rapaki? Irail inda: Iejuj men Najaret.
Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Iejuj kotin majani: I indai on komail er, me nai i. Ari, ma komail rapakin ia, en purewei jan mepukat!
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
9 Pwe lepen majan en pwaida, me a kotin majanier: Jota amen irail, me komui ki on ia er, me jalonalar.
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
10 A Jimon Petruj, me na kodlaj mia, ap uja pajan, paleki en jamero lapalap a ladu, pale pajan jalon a pali maun. A ladu o me ad a Malkuj.
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 Iejuj ap kotin majani on Petruj: Kapure on om kodlaj nan deu a! Da, dal o, me Jam o kotiki on ia er, i ender nim?
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 Ari, pokon o, o ar kaun, o papa en men Juj akan jaikidi Iejuj o jaliedi i.
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
13 O kalua maj ren Anaj, pwe I jam en Kaipaj a paud o jamero lapalap ni par o.
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Iei i Kaipaj, me indai on Juj oko: Me mau, aramaj ta men en kam kila aramaj akan.
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
15 A Jimon Petruj o pil amen tounpadak idauenla Iejuj. A tounpadak men et, me jamero lapalap ajaer, ian Iejuj kotilon on nan matuel en jamero lapalap.
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 A Petruj u liki impan wanim o. Tounpadak teio, me jamero lapalap ajaer, pedoi jan kajokajoi on me jinjila wanim o ukelon on Petruj lole.
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 Jeripein o, me jinjila wanim, ap indai on Petruj: Kaidin amen ren tounpadak kan en aramaj men et koe? A inda: Nai jo.
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 A ladu o papa kan u waja o, jaunda kijiniai, pwe a kapau; irail raneran ia, a Petruj pil ian u raneran.
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 Jamero lalalap ap kalelapok ren Iejuj duen japwilim a tounpadak kan o duen a padak.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 Iejuj kotin japen i: I padapadak janjal on jappa; anjanu karoj I kaukawewedar nan jina koke o nan im en kaudok, waja me Juj oko karoj kin pokon pena ia; a jota man meakot, me I padak waja rir.
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 Da me kom peidokki re i? Kalelapok ren me ron ia er, me I padaki on irail er, kilan, re aja, me I indada.
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 Ni en Iejuj a kotin majani met, amen jan ren papa ko, me uda impa, ap pikir jilan en Iejuj indada: Iduen om japen on jamero lapalap?
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 Jejuj kotin japen i: Ma ai lokaia jued, koe ap kadede ki duen a jued, a ma me pun menda koe pikir ia?
Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
24 A Anaj ap kadar won jenjal ren jamero lapalap Kaipaj
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 A Jimon Petruj u, raneran irail ap indai on i: Ele koe pil amen a tounpadak kan? A kamamada indada: Nai jo.
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 Ladun jamero lapalap amen, me jauneki ol o, me Petruj pale jan jalon a, ap indada: Kaidin koe me i kilaner re a nan matuel o?
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 Petruj ap pil kamamada. Malek madan kakorotada,
Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Irail ap kalua jan Iejuj ren Kaipaj, walan nan im en kadeik. Ari, me jankonai. A irail jota pedelon on nan im en kadeik, pwe re de kajaminela pein irail, pwe re en kak on tunole paja.
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 Pilatuj ap pedoi won re irail indada: Da me komail karauneki aramaj men et?
Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
30 Irail japen indan i: Ma men et jota me jued amen, je jota pan panalan komui i.
They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
31 Pilatuj ap majani on irail: Pein komail ale i, kadeikada i duen omail kapun. Juj oko ap indai on i: A jota muei on kit, jen kamela amen.
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 Pwe majan en Iejuj en pwaida, me a kotin majanieda, pwen kajaleda, duen a pan kamatala.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 A Pilatuj pur on nan im en kadeik ekeredo Iejuj, kalelapok re a: Komui Nanmarki en Juj akan?
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34 Iejuj kotin japen i: Kom indada mepukat jan nan pein omui pam? De akai indai on komui duen nai?
Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
35 Pilatuj japen: Da, men Juj amen nai? Toun jap omui o jamero lapalap akan pana don ia komui; da me komui wiadar?
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 Iejuj kotin japen: Ai wei kaidin men jappa et. Ma ai wei men jappa et, nan ai papa kan pan pepeita, pwe I ender pan panalan Juj akan; a kaidin ai wei anjau wet,
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 Pilatuj ap indai on i: Ari, Nanmarki amen komui? Iejuj kotin japen: Komui me inda, me Nanmarki amen nai. I me I ipwikidier o pwara kidon jappa pwe I en kadede melel. Kijan melel akan kin roneron nil ai.
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 Pilatuj indai on i: Dakot melel? A lao indawei mepukat, ap pil pedoi on ren men Juj indai on irail: I jota man diar dip a.
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 A tiak eu mi re omail, i en lapwada meamen ni paja. Komail jo men, i en lapwadan komail Nanmarki en Juj akan?
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 Irail karoj pil weriwereda indada: Kaidik men et, a Parapaj! A Parapaj me lolap amen.
Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
