Yohana 18
1 Baada ya Yesu kusema maneno haya, aliondoka na wanafunzi wake kuelekea bonde la Kidron, ambako kulikuwa na bustani, ambako yeye na wanafunzi wake wakaingia ndani yake.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 Sasa yule Yuda, aliyetaka kumsaliti, naye alilijua eneo hilo, kwani Yesu alikuwa akienda hili eneo mara kadhaa akiwa na wanafunzi wake.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Naye Yuda, baada ya kuwa amepata kundi la maaskari na maofisa toka kwa wakuu wa makuhani, wakaja wakiwa na taa, kurunzi na silaha.
Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Naye Yesu, hali akijua kila kitu kilichokuwa kikifanyika dhidi yake, alijitokeza mbele na akawauliza, “Ni nani mnayemtafuta?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5 Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu Mnazareth.” Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye” Naye Yuda aliyemsaliti, alikuwa amesimama pamoja na wale askari.
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 Kwa hiyo alipowaambia, “Mimi ndiye” walirudi kinyume na kuanguka chini.
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Halafu akawauliza tena, “Ni nani mnayemtafuta? Nao wakamjibu tena “Yesu mnazareth.”
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Yesu akawajibu, “Nimekwisha kuwaambia kuwa Mimi ndiye; kwa hiyo kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa wengine waende.”
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9 Haya yalikuwa hivyo ili lile neno litimilike; pale aliposema; “Katika wale ulionipa, sikumpoteza hata mmoja.”
That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
10 Ndipo Simon Petro, aliyekuwa na upanga, akaufuta na kumkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa Kuhani mkuu. Na jina lake mtumishi yule lilikuwa Malko.
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako kwenye ala yake. Kwa nini nisikinywee kikombe kile alichonipa Baba?”
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Basi lile kundi la askari na jemedari, na watumishi wa Wayahudi, walimkamata Yesu na kumfunga.
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 Nao wakamwongoza kwanza mpaka kwa Anasi, kwani yeye alikuwa mkwe wa Kayafa, ambaye ndiye aliyekuwa Kuhani mkuu kwa mwaka huo.
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14 Sasa Kayafa ndiye aliyekuwa amewapa ushauri Wayahudi ya kwamba ilimpasa mtu mmoja afe kwa ajili ya watu.
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simon Petro alimfuata Yesu, na vivyo hivyo mwanafunzi mwingine. Na yule mwanafunzi alikuwa akifahamika kwa kuhani mkuu, naye akaingia pamoja na Yesu katika behewa ya Kuhani mkuu;
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 lakini Petro alikuwa amesimama nje ya mlango. Basi yule mwanafunzi aliyekuwa akifahamika kwa kuhani mkuu, alitoka nje akaenda kuongea na yule mwanamke mtumishi aliyekuwa akilinda mlango na kumwingiza Petro ndani.
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Basi yule kijakazi aliyekuwa akilinda mlango, alimwambia Petro, “Je wewe si mmoja wa wafuasi wa huyu mtu?” Naye akasema, “Mimi siye.”
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also [one] of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 Na wale watumishi na wakuu walikuwa wakisimama mahali pale; wamekoka moto wa kwa maana, kulikuwa na baridi, na hivyo walikuwa wakiota moto ili kupata joto. Naye Petro alikuwa nao, akiota moto akiwa amesimama.
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 Kuhani mkuu alimhoji Yesu juu ya wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Yesu akamjbu, “Nimeuambia waziwazi ulimwengu; Mimi nilifundisha mara kwa mara kwenye masinagogi na hekaluni mahali ambapo wayahudi hukusanyika. Nami sikusema lolote katika siri.
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 Kwa nini mliniuliza? Waulizeni walionisikiliza juu ya kile nilichosema. Hawa watu wanajua mambo yale niliyosema.
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22 Yesu alipokwisha sema hivyo, mmoja wa wakuu aliyekuwa amesimama akampiga Yesu kwa mkono wake na kisha akasema, “Je, hivyo ndivyo inavyokupasa kumjibu kuhani mkuu?”
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Naye Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nimesema jambo lolote baya basi uwe shahidi kwa ajili ya uovu, na kama nimemjibu vyema kwa nini kunipiga?
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Ndipo Anasi alipompeleka Yesu kwa Kayafa kuhani mkuu akiwa amefungwa.
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Sasa Simoni Petro alikuwa amesimama akijipasha joto mwenyewe. Halafu wale watu wakamwambia. “Je, wewe pia si mmoja wa wanaafunzi wake?” Akakana akisema “Mimi siye.”
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied [it], and said, I am not.
26 Mmoja wa watumishi wa kuhani mkuu, ambaye alikuwa ndugu wa yule mwanaume ambaye Petro alimkata sikio, alisema, “Je si wewe niliyekuona naye kule bustanini?”
One of the servants of the high priest, being [his] kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Petro akakana tena, na mara Jogoo akawika.
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28 Kisha wakamchukua Yesu toka kwa Kayafa mpaka kwenye Praitorio. Ilikwa asubuhi na mapema. Wao wenyewe hawakuiingia ile Praitorio ili wasije wakanajisika na kuila pasaka.
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 Kwa hiyo Pilato akawaendea akisema. “Ni shitaka gani linalomhusu huyu mtu?”
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 Wakamjibu na kumwambia, “Kama huyu mtu asingekuwa mtenda maovu, tusingemleta kwako.”
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
31 Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi wenyewe, mkamhukumu kulingana na sheria yenu.” Nao Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Sheria haituruhusu sisi kumwua mtu yeyote.”
Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 Walisema haya ili neno la Yesu litimilike, neno ambalo alikuwa amekwisha sema juu ya aina ya kifo chake.
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33 Basi Pilato akaingia tena Praitorio akumwita Yesu; akamwambia, “Je, wewe ni mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Yesu akamjibu, “Je, wewe waniuliza swali hili kwa Sababu wataka kujua au kwa sababu wengine wamekutuma ili uniulize mimi?”
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35 Naye Pilato akamjibu, “Mimi si Myahudi, au sivyo?” Taifa lako na kuhani mkuu ndio waliokuleta kwangu; wewe umefanya nini?
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36 Yesu akajibu; “Ufalme wangu si wa ulimwengu huu, kama ufalme wangu ungekuwa na sehemu katika ulimwengu huu watumwa wangu wangenipigania ili nisitolewe kwa wayahudi. Kwa kweli ufalme wangu hautoki hapa” Basi
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilato akamwambia, “Je, wewe basi u mfalme?” Yesu akajibu, “wewe ndivyo unanvyosema kuwa mimi ni mfalme, Kwa sababu hii mimi nilizaliwa na kwa sababu hii mimi nimekuja ulimwenguni ili niwe shahidi wa ile kweli. Yeyote aliye wa hiyo kweli huisikiliza sauti yangu.
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 Pilato akamwambia, “Kweli ni nini?” Naye alipokwisha sema haya akaenda kwa Wayahudi na kuwaambia “Siona katika lolote mtu huyu.
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [at all].
39 Ninyi mna utamaduni unaonifanya nimfunfungulie mfungwa mmoja wakati wa Pasaka. Je mnataka nimfungulie mfalme wa Wayahudi.”
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Kisha walipiga kelele wakisema, siyo huyu, tufungulie Baraba.” Naye Baraba alikuwa mnyang'anyi.
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
