Johani 18
1 Jesu areva zvinhu izvi wakabudira mhiri kwerukova Kedhironi nevadzidzi vake, paiva nebindu, maakapinda iye nevadzidzi vake.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he passed, with his disciples, over the brook Kidron; where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.
2 NaJudhasiwo, wakamutengesa, wakange achiziva nzvimbo iyi; nokuti Jesu kazhinji waiunganapo nevadzidzi vake.
Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Naizvozvo Judhasi, atora boka remauto, nemapurisa kubva kuvapristi vakuru neVaFarisi, wakauyapo nemwenje nemarambi nezvombo.
Then Judas, having got the cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, and torches, and arms.
4 Naizvozvo Jesu, achiziva zvinhu zvese zvaizomuwira, wakabuda akati kwavari: Ndiani wamunotsvaka?
But Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon him, went forth, and said to them, Whom do you seek?
5 Vakamupindura vakati: Jesu muNazareta. Jesu akati kwavari: Ndini. NaJudhasiwo wakamutengesa wakange amire navo.
They answered him, Jesus, the Nazarene. Jesus replied, I am he. Now Judas, who betrayed him, was with them.
6 Zvino wakati achiti kwavari: Ndini; vakasudurukira shure, vakawira pasi.
He had no sooner said to them, I am he, than they, going backward, fell to the ground.
7 Zvino akavabvunzazve achiti: Ndiani wamunotsvaka? Ivo vakati: Jesu muNazareta.
He, therefore, asked them again, Whom do you seek? They said, Jesus, the Nazarene.
8 Jesu akapindura achiti: Ndakuudzai kuti ndini iye; naizvozvo kana muchitsvaka ini, regai ava vaende;
Jesus answered, I have told you, that I am he. If, therefore, you seek me, let these go away.
9 kuti shoko rizadziswe raakareva rekuti: Vamakapa kwandiri, handina kurasa umwe wavo.
Thus was that which he had spoken verified, Of those whom thou gavest me, I have lost none.
10 Naizvozvo Simoni Petro ane munondo wakauvhomora ndokutema muranda wemupristi mukuru, ndokugura nzeve yake yerudyi. Uye zita remuranda uyo raiva Marikosi.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.
11 Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kuna Petro: Isa munondo wako mumuhara; mukombe Baba wavakandipa, handingatongounwi here?
Jesus then said to Peter, Put up the sword into the scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?
12 Zvino boka remauto nemukuru wechuru nemapurisa eVaJudha vakabata Jesu, vakamusunga,
Then the cohort, and their commander, and the Jewish officers, apprehended Jesus; and having bound him,
13 ndokutanga kumuendesa kuna Anasi; nokuti wakange ari mukarahwa waKayafasi, waiva mupristi mukuru gore iroro.
brought him first to Annas, because he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Zvino Kayafasi ndiye wakange araira VaJudha, kuti zvakanaka kuti munhu umwe afire rudzi.
Now it was Caiaphas, who had said in council to the Jews, It is expedient that one man die for the people.
15 Zvino Simoni Petro wakatevera Jesu, neumwe mudzidzi. Mudzidzi uyu waizikanwa nemupristi mukuru, akapinda naJesu muchivanze chemupristi mukuru;
Meantime Simon Peter, and another disciple, followed Jesus. That disciple, being known to the high priest, entered his court with Jesus.
16 asi Petro wakange amire pamukova panze. Naizvozvo kwakabuda umwe mudzidzi waizikanwa nemupristi mukuru, akataura nemurindikadzi wemukova, ndokupinza Petro.
But Peter stood without, at the door. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.
17 Zvino murandakadzi murindi wemukova akati kuna Petro: Iwewo hausi umwe wevadzidzi vemunhu uyu here? Iye akati: Handisi.
Then the maid, the portress, said to Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He answered, I am not.
18 Zvino varanda nemapurisa vakange vamire vavesa moto wemazimbe, nokuti kwaitonhora, uye vaidziya. Petrowo akamira navo achidziya.
Now, the servants and the officers, stood near a fire, which they had made, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
19 Naizvozvo mupristi mukuru wakabvunza Jesu nezvevadzidzi vake, nezvedzidziso yake.
Then the high priest interrogated Jesus concerning his disciples and his doctrine.
20 Jesu akamupindura akati: Ini ndakataura pachena kunyika; ini ndaidzidzisa nguva dzese musinagoge nemutembere, panoungana VaJudha nguva dzese, uye handina kureva chinhu pakavanda.
Jesus answered, I spoke openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple, whither the Jews constantly resort. I said nothing in secret.
21 Unobvunzirei ini? Bvunza avo vainzwa, zvandaitaura kwavari; tarira, ndivo vanoziva ini zvandakareva.
Why do you examine me? Examine them who heard me teach. They know what I said.
22 Wakati areva zvinhu izvi, umwe wemapurisa wakange amirepo akarova Jesu nembama, achiti: Ko unopindura mupristi mukuru saizvozvo?
When he had spoken thus, one of the officers who attended, gave him a blow, and said, Do you answer the high priest thus?
23 Jesu akamupindura akati: Kana ndareva zvakaipa, pupura zvezvakaipa zvacho; asi kana zvakanaka, wandiroverei?
Jesus replied, If I have spoken amiss, show in what the wrong consists: but if well, why do you smite me?
24 Zvino Anasi akamutumira akasungwa kuna Kayafasi mupristi mukuru.
Now, Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Zvino Simoni Petro wakange amire achidziya moto; naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Hausi iwewo umwe wevadzidzi vake here? Iye akaramba, akati: Handisi.
As Peter stood warming himself, they asked him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 Umwe wevaranda vemupristi mukuru, ari hama yewenzeve Petro yaakagura akati: Ini handina kukuona mubindu unaye here?
One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman to him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Naizvozvo Petro akarambazve; zvino pakarepo jongwe rakarira.
Peter denied again; and immediately the cock crew.
28 Zvino vakabvisa Jesu kuna Kayafasi vakamuisa kuimba yemutungamiriri; uye aiva mambakwedza, asi ivo havana kupinda mumba memutungamiriri, kuti varege kusvibiswa, asi kuti vadye pasika.
Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the pretorium: it was now morning; but the Jews entered not the pretorium, lest they should be defiled, and so not in a condition to eat the passover.
29 Naizvozvo Pirato akabudira kwavari, akati: Imhosva yei yamunoisa pamunhu uyu?
Pilate, therefore, went out to them, and said, Of what do you accuse this man?
30 Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Dai uyu asaiva anoita zvakaipa, tingadai tisina kumukumikidza kwamuri.
They answered, If he were not a criminal, we would not have delivered him to you.
31 Naizvozvo Pirato wakati kwavari: Mutorei imwi, mumutonge zvinoenderana nemurairo wenyu. Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kwaari: Hazvisi pamutemo kwatiri kuti tiuraye munhu;
Pilate said, Then take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews replied, We are not permitted to put any man to death.
32 kuti shoko raJesu rizadziswe raakareva, achiratidza kuti kufa rudzii kwaaifanira kufa nako.
And thus, what Jesus had spoken, signifying what death he should die, was accomplished.
33 Naizvozvo Pirato wakapindazve mumba memutungamiriri, akadana Jesu, akati kwaari: Ndiwe mambo weVaJudha here?
Then Pilate returned to the pretorium, and having called Jesus, said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?
34 Jesu akamupindura akati: Unozvireva izvi pachako here, kana vamwe vakuudza pamusoro pangu?
Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning me?
35 Pirato akapindura, akati: Ini ndiri muJudha here? Rudzi rwako nevapristi vakuru vakukumikidza kwandiri; waitei?
Pilate replied, Am I am Jew? Your own nation, yes, the chief priests have delivered you to me. What have you done?
36 Jesu akapindura akati: Ushe hwangu hahuzi hwenyika ino; kana ushe hwangu hwaiva hwenyika ino, varanda vangu vangadai vairwa, kuti ndirege kukumikidzwa kuVaJudha; asi zvino ushe hwangu hahusi hwepano.
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my adherents would have fought to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews; but my kingdom is not hence.
37 Naizvozvo Pirato wakati kwaari: Saka uri iwe mambo here? Jesu akapindura akati: Unoreva iwe, kuti ini ndiri mambo. Ini ndakaberekerwa izvi, uye ndakauira izvi munyika kuti ndipupurire chokwadi. Umwe neumwe wechokwadi anonzwa inzwi rangu.
Then Pilate said, You are a King, then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a King. For this I was born; and for this I came into the world, to give testimony to the truth. Whosoever is of the truth, hearkens to me.
38 Pirato akati kwaari: Chokwadi chii? Zvino wakati areva izvi, akabudirazve kuVaJudha, akati kwavari: Ini handiwani mhosva kwaari.
Pilate asked him, What is truth? and so saying, went out again to the Jews, and said to them, For my part, I find nothing culpable in this man.
39 Asi mune tsika, kuti ndikusunungurirei umwe papasika; naizvozvo munoda kuti ndikusunungurirei Mambo weVaJudha here?
But since it is customary that I release to you one at the passover, will you that I release to you the King of the Jews?
40 Ipapo vakadanidzirazve vese, vachiti: Kwete uyu, asi Bharabhasi; zvino Bharabhasi wakange ari gororo.
Then they all cried, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
