Johani 18
1 Akati apedza kunyengetera, Jesu akabva navadzidzi vake akayambuka Mupata weKidhironi. Parutivi penzvimbo iyi paiva nebindu remiorivhi, uye iye navadzidzi vake vakapindamo.
When Jesus had spoken these things, he went out with his disciples beyond the brook Kedron, where was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
2 Zvino Judhasi uyo akamupandukira, aiziva nzvimbo yacho, nokuti Jesu aichimbosanganamo navadzidzi vake.
And Judas, who delivered him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often went thither with his disciples.
3 Saka Judhasi akasvika kubindu, achitungamirira boka ravarwi navamwe vatariri vaibva kuvaprista vakuru nokuvaFarisi. Vakanga vane mwenje namarambi uye nezvombo.
Judas, then, having received the band of soldiers and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Jesu, achiziva zvose zvakanga zvichizoitika kwaari, akabuda akaenda kwavari akati, “Munotsvaka ani?”
Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom do you seek?
5 Vakapindura vakati, “Jesu weNazareta.” Jesu akati, “Ndini iye.” (Uye Judhasi mupanduki uya akanga amire navo ipapo.)
They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them: I am he. Judas, also, who delivered him up, was standing among them.
6 Jesu paakati, “Ndini iye,” vakasudurukira shure vakawira pasi.
Then, when he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Akapamhazve kuvabvunza achiti, “Ndianiko wamunoda?” Uye ivo vakati, “Jesu weNazareta.”
Then he asked them again: Whom do you seek? They said: Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndakuudzai kuti ndini iye. Kana muchitsvaka ini, zvino chiregai varume ava vaende.”
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If, then, you seek me, let these go away.
9 Izvi zvakaitika kuti mashoko aakanga ataura azadziswe, okuti: “Handina kurasikirwa nomumwe weava vamakandipa.”
This he said, that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken: Of those whom thou hast given me; I have lost none.
10 Ipapo Simoni, uyo akanga ano munondo, akauvhomora akacheka muranda womuprista mukuru, akagura nzeve yake yokurudyi. (Zita romuranda uyo rainzi Marikusi.)
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Jesu akarayira Petro achiti, “Isa munondo wako mumuhara! Ko, ndicharega kunwa mukombe wandapiwa naBaba here?”
Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?
12 Ipapo boka ravarwi navatariri vavaJudha vakabata Jesu vakamusunga.
Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attendants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,
13 Uye vakatanga kuenda naye kuna Anasi, uyo akanga ari tezvara waKayafasi, iye aiva muprista mukuru gore iroro.
and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.
14 Kayafasi uyu ndiye uya akapa vaJudha zano rokuti zvainge zvakanaka kuti munhu mumwe chete afire vanhu.
It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews, that it was profitable that one man should die for the people.
15 Simoni Petro nomumwe mudzidzi vainge vachitevera Jesu. Nemhaka yokuti mudzidzi uyu aizivikanwa nomuprista mukuru uyu, akapinda naJesu mudare redzimhosva romuprista mukuru,
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest.
16 asi Petro akasara kunze ari pamukova. Mumwe mudzidzi, aizivikanwa nomuprista mukuru, akadzoka akandotaura nomusikana aichengeta pamusuo ndokupinza Petro mukati.
But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Musikana akanga ari pamukova akabvunza Petro akati, “Iwe hausi mumwe wavadzidzi vake here?” Iye akapindura akati, “Handisi.”
Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not.
18 Kwaitonhora, saka varanda nevatariri vakamira vakadziya moto wavakanga vavesa kuti vadziyirwe. Petro akanga amirewo navo, achidziyawo moto.
And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 Panguva iyoyo, muprista mukuru akabvunza Jesu pamusoro pavadzidzi vake uye nezvedzidziso yake.
Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
20 Jesu akapindura achiti, “Ndakataura pachena kunyika. Ndaigara ndichidzidzisa mumasinagoge kana patemberi, apo paiungana vaJudha vose pamwe chete. Handina kutaura chinhu muchivande.
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Munondibvunzireiko? Bvunzai avo vakandinzwa. Zvirokwazvo vanoziva zvandakareva.”
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said.
22 Jesu akati ataura izvi, mumwe wavatariri vakanga vari pedyo naye akamurova kumeso. Akati, “Ndiyo nzira yaunopindura nayo muprista mukuru here?”
When he had spoken thus, one of the attendants, who was standing by, struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Do you answer the chief priest thus?
23 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kana ndataura chimwe chinhu chakaipa, taura kuti chakaipa ndechipi. Asi kana ndataura chokwadi, seiko wandirova?”
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you strike me?
24 Ipapo Anasi akamuendesa, akasungwa kuna Kayafasi muprista mukuru.
Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 Simoni Petro achakamira achidziya moto, akabvunzwazve kuti, “Iwe hausi mumwe wavadzidzi vake here?” Akazviramba izvozvo, achiti, “Handizi.”
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.
26 Mumwe wavaranda vomuprista mukuru, hama youya akanga agurwa nzeve yake naPetro, akamupikisa akati “Ko, handina kukuona unaye mubindu here?”
One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Petro akazvirambazve izvozvo, uye panguva iyoyo jongwe rakatanga kurira.
Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew.
28 Ipapo vaJudha vakatungamirira Jesu kubva kuna Kayafasi vakaenda naye kumuzinda womubati weRoma. Zvino akanga achiri mangwanani, uye kuti varege kusvibiswa, vaJudha vakarega kupinda mumuzinda; vaida kuti vakwanise kuzodya Pasika.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s palace. It was the morning hour. And, in order that they might not be denied, but that they might eat the passover, they did not go into the governor’s palace.
29 Saka Pirato akabuda kwavari akavabvunza achiti, “Mhosva yomurume uyu ndeyeiko?”
Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 Vakapindura vachiti, “Dai anga asiri mutadzi, tingadai tisina kuuya naye kwamuri.”
They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you.
31 Pirato akati, “Mutorei imi mumutonge nomurayiro wenyu.” VaJudha vakaramba vachiti, “Asika, isu hatina mvumo yokuuraya munhu.”
Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;
32 Izvi zvakaitika kuitira kuti mashoko akanga ataurwa naJesu achiratidza mafiro aaizoita azadziswe.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 Ipapo Pirato akadzokerazve mumuzinda, akadana Jesu akamubvunza achiti, “Ndiwe mambo wavaJudha here?”
Then Pilate again entered the governor’s palace, and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you the king of the Jews?
34 Jesu akati, “Kufunga kwako woga here kana kuti vamwe vataura newe pamusoro pangu?”
Jesus answered him: Do you say this of yourself, or did others speak to you of me?
35 Pirato akapindura achiti, “Ndiri muJudha here ini? Vanhu vako navaprista vako vakuru vauya newe kwandiri. Wakaiteiko?”
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done?
36 Jesu akapindura akati, “Umambo hwangu hahusi hwenyika ino. Dai zvanga zvakadaro, varanda vangu vaizorwa kuti ndirege kusungwa navaJudha. Asi zvino umambo hwangu hunobva kune imwe nzvimbo.”
Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence.
37 Pirato akati, “Saka uri mamboka!” Jesu akapindura akati, “Wataura zvakanaka pawati ndiri mambo. Chokwadi ndechokuti, ndizvo zvandakazvarirwa, uye nokuda kwaizvozvo ndakauya munyika, kuti ndizopupurira chokwadi. Ani naani anoda chokwadi anonditeerera.”
Then Pilate said to him: You are a king, then? Jesus answered; You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hears my voice.
38 Pirato akamubvunza akati, “Chokwadi chiiko?” Akati ataura izvozvo akabudazve kunze kuvaJudha akati, “Handiwani hwaro hwemhosva yomurume uyu.
Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him.
39 Asi itsika yenyu imi kuti ini ndikusunungurirei musungwa panguva yePasika. Munoda here kuti ndikusunungurirei mambo wavaJudha?”
But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?
40 Vakadanidzira vachiti, “Kwete, uyu! Tipei Bharabhasi!” Zvino Bharabhasi akanga ari gororo.
They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
