Johane 18
1 Mme erile Jesu a sena go bua dilo tse, a kgabaganya molatswana wa Kide-rona le barutwa ba gagwe mme a tsena mo sekgweng sa lotlhware.
When Yeshua had spoken these words, he went out with his talmidim over the wadi of the Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his talmidim entered.
2 Judase wa moraedi, o ne a itse lefelo le, gonne Jesu o ne a sa bolo go nna a ya teng gantsi le barutwa ba gagwe.
Now Judah, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua often met there with his talmidim.
3 Ditlhogo tsa baperesiti le Bafarasai di ne di neetse Judase segopa sa masole le mapodisi go mo pata. Mme ba goroga mo sekgweng sa lotlhware ba tshotse dipone tsa mefuta e farologanye ba tshotse le ditlhabani.
Judah then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief cohanim and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Jesu a tlhaloganya ka botlalo se se neng se ya go mo diragalela. Erile a tsamaela kwa pele go ba kgatlhantsha a re, “Lo batla mang?” Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Jesu wa Nasaretha.” Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ke nna.”
Yeshua therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
They answered him, "Yeshua the Natzrati." Yeshua said to them, "I AM." Judah also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Mme erile a bua jalo, botlhe ba boela kwa morago ba wela fa fatshe.
When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Mme a ba botsa gape a re, “Lo batla mang?” Mme ba mo fetola gape ba re, “Jesu wa Nasaretha.” Mme Jesu a ba raya a re,
Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Yeshua the Natzrati."
8 “Ke lo reile ka re ke Nna, mme ka ke Nna yo lo mpatlang, tlogelang ba bangwe ba, ba tsamaye.”
Yeshua answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
9 O ne a dira jaana go diragatsa seporofeso se a neng a setse a se buile a re, “Ga ke a latlhegelwa ke ope mo go ba o ba nneileng.”
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."
10 Mme Simone Petere a somola chaka a kgaola “tsebe e e ka fa letsogong la moja ya ga Maleko motlhanka wa moperesiti yo mogolo”.
Shim'on Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the cohen hagadol's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Mme Jesu a raya Petere a re, “Somela chaka ya gago. A ga ke a tshwanela go nwa mo senwelong se Rara o se nneileng?”
Yeshua 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 Mme mapodisi a Sejuta le masole le maotlana a tshwara Jesu a mo golega.
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Yeshua and bound him,
13 Ba mo tseela “pele” kwa go Anase mogwagadia Kaiafase, Moperesiti yo mogolo mo ngwageng eo.
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was cohen hagadol that year.
14 Kaiafase e ne e le ene yo o reileng baeteledipele ba Sejuta a re go botoka gore motho a le mongwe fela a swele batho botlhe.
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simone Petere a ba sala morago, jaaka yo mongwe wa barutwa yo ene a neng a tsalanye le Moperesiti yo Mogolo a ne a dira
Shim'on Peter followed Yeshua, as did another talmid. Now that talmid was known to the cohen hagadol, and entered in with Yeshua into the court of the cohen hagadol;
16 fa Petere a eme fa ntle ga kgoro ya batsena. Mme Morutwa yo a buisanya le mosetsana yo o tlhokometseng kwa kgorong, mme a letlelela Petere go tsena.
but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other talmid, who was known to the cohen hagadol, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Mosetsana a botsa a re, “A ga o mongwe wa barutwa ba ga Jesu?” Mme Petere a re, “Nnyaa ga ke mongwe wa bone.”
Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's talmidim?" He said, "I am not."
18 Mme mapodise le batlhanka ba mo lwapeng ba ne ba eme ka dinao ba dikologile molelo o ba neng ba o gotsitse gonne go ne go le serame. Mme Petere a nna foo le bone a ikomosa.
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 Mme mo teng ga kgotla ya tshekelo Moperesiti yo Mogolo a simolola go botsa Jesu kaga barutwa ba gagwe le se a neng a ntse a se ba ruta.
The cohen hagadol therefore asked Yeshua about his talmidim, and about his teaching.
20 Jesu a fetola a re, “Se ke se rutang se itsege ka bophara, gonne ke rutile ka gale mo disenagogeng le mo Tempeleng; ke utlwilwe ke baeteledipele ba Sejuta botlhe mme ga ke rute sepe mo sephiring se ke sa se buang mo ponong ya mongwe le mongwe.
Yeshua answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jewish people come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Ke eng fa o mpotsa potso e? Botsa ba ba nkutlwileng. O na le bangwe ba bone fano. Ba itse se ke se buileng.”
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."
22 Mongwe wa masole a a emeng foo a ngadibola Jesu ka lebole a mmotsa a re, “A ke yone tsela ya go araba Moperesiti yo Mogolo eo?”
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Yeshua with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the cohen hagadol like that?"
23 Mme Jesu a fetola a re. “Fa ke buile maaka, ntsha bosupi, a o tshwanetse go iteela motho go bua boammaaruri?”
Yeshua answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"
24 Mme Anase a romela Jesu a golegilwe kwa go Kaiafase Moperesiti yo Mogolo.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the cohen hagadol.
25 Mme ya re ka lobaka loo, fa Simone Petere a sa ntse a eme fa molelong, a bodiwa gape gatwe, “A ga o mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe?” Mme ene a fetola a re, “Nnyaa,”
Now Shim'on Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of his talmidim, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."
26 Mme mongwe wa batlhanka ba mo lwapeng lwa Moperesiti yo mogolo, wa losika lwa monna yo o neng a kgaotswe tsebe ke Petere, a botsa a re, “A ga ke a go bona kwa sekgweng sa lotlhware o na le Jesu?”
One of the servants of the cohen hagadol, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
27 Mme Petere a itatola gape. Mme ka bofefo mokoko wa lela.
Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Go sekisiwa ga ga Jesu ke Kaiafase ga fela maphakela thata. Go tsweng foo a tseelwa kwa kgotleng ya Molaodi wa Mmuso wa Roma. Basekisi ba gagwe ba seka ba tsena mo teng gonne ba ne ba re, go ne go tlaa ba “itshekolola”, le gone ba ne ba sena go letlelelwa go ja kwanyana ya Tlolaganyo.
They led Yeshua therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29 Mme Pilatwe molaodi wa mmuso wa Roma, a ya kwa ntle kwa go bone a botsa a re, “Lo bona monna yo molato wa eng? Lo mmona molato wa go dira eng.”
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
30 Mme ba fetola ka go gakala ba re, “Fa e ka bo ene e se serukutlhi re ka bo re sa mo tshwara!”
They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."
31 Mme Pilatwe a ba raya a re, “Mo tseyeng lo mo atlhole lo le nosi ka melao ya lona.” Mme ba re, Mme kana re batla a bapolwa, mme, re batla tetlelelo ya gago
Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jewish leaders said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
32 Se se ne sa rurifatsa kakanyetsopele ya ga Jesu ka ga tsela e a tla bolawang ka yone.
that the word of Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 Mme Pilatwe a boela kwa kgotleng ya gagwe ya tshekelo a laola gore Jesu a leriwe kwa go ene. Ammotsa a re, “A o Kgosi ya Bajuta?”
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesu a botsa a re, “A le wena wa re ke ‘Kgosi’ kgotsa o bua kafa Bajuta ba buang ka teng.”
Yeshua answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
35 Pilatwe a botsa ka kgakalo a re, “A ke Mojuta? Batho ba gaeno le ditlhogo tsa bone tsa baperesiti ba go lerile kwano. Ka ntlha yang? O dirile eng?”
Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief cohanim delivered you to me. What have you done?"
36 Mme Jesu a araba a re, “Ga ke Kgosi ya lefatshe. Fa ke ne ke le yone, balatedi ba me ba ka bo ba lole fa ke tshwarwa ke baeteledipele ba Sejuta. Mme bogosi jwa me ga se jwa lefatshe.”
Yeshua answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jewish leaders. But now my Kingdom is not from here."
37 Pilatwe a fetola a re, “Ee, fa e le gore go ntse jalo o Kgosi?” Jesu a re, “Ee, ke tsaletswe gone moo. Mme ke tletse go lere boammaaruri mo lefatsheng. Botlhe ba ba ratang boammaaruri ke balatedi ba me.”
Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Yeshua 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 Pilatwe a botsa a re, “Boammaaruri ke eng?” Mme a boela a tswela gape kwa ntle kwa bathong a ba raya a re, “Ga a na molato ope wa borukutlhi motho yo.
Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jewish leaders, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
39 Mme lo na le ngwao ngwaga le ngwaga ya go nkopa go lo gololela mongwe mo kgolegelong fa go le Tlolaganyo. Mme fa lo batla ke dira jalo, ke tlaa golola ‘Kgosi ya Bajuta’.”
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 Mme ba goa ba re, “Nnyaa! E seng monna yo, e leng Barabase!” Barabase e ne e le serukutlhi.
Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
