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 across the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered with 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, his betrayer, knew the place; because Jesus often 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 the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with torches and lanterns and weapons.
4 Naye Yesu, hali akijua kila kitu kilichokuwa kikifanyika dhidi yake, alijitokeza mbele na akawauliza, “Ni nani mnayemtafuta?”
But Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith to them, Whom do ye seek?
5 Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu Mnazareth.” Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye” Naye Yuda aliyemsaliti, alikuwa amesimama pamoja na wale askari.
They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus saith to them, I am he. Now Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them.
6 Kwa hiyo alipowaambia, “Mimi ndiye” walirudi kinyume na kuanguka chini.
As soon then as he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Halafu akawauliza tena, “Ni nani mnayemtafuta? Nao wakamjibu tena “Yesu mnazareth.”
Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
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 are seeking me, let these men go.
9 Haya yalikuwa hivyo ili lile neno litimilike; pale aliposema; “Katika wale ulionipa, sikumpoteza hata mmoja.”
That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom thou hast given me, I have 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 servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. And the servant's name was Malchus.
11 Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako kwenye ala yake. Kwa nini nisikinywee kikombe kile alichonipa Baba?”
Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath. The cup which the 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.
So the band and the captain, and the 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 carried him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high-priest that year.
14 Sasa Kayafa ndiye aliyekuwa amewapa ushauri Wayahudi ya kwamba ilimpasa mtu mmoja afe kwa ajili ya watu.
And it was Caiaphas who counseled 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 and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high-priest, and went with Jesus into the court of 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 was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the high-priest, went out and spoke to 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 the maid-servant that kept the door saith to Peter, Art 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 the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.
19 Kuhani mkuu alimhoji Yesu juu ya wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.
The high-priest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
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 have spoken plainly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke nothing.
21 Kwa nini mliniuliza? Waulizeni walionisikiliza juu ya kile nilichosema. Hawa watu wanajua mambo yale niliyosema.
Why askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these know what I have 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 said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the high-priest?
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 spoke what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me?
24 Ndipo Anasi alipompeleka Yesu kwa Kayafa kuhani mkuu akiwa amefungwa.
Annas therefore sent him bound to 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 was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied 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 a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Petro akakana tena, na mara Jogoo akawika.
Then Peter denied again; and immediately a 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 they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
29 Kwa hiyo Pilato akawaendea akisema. “Ni shitaka gani linalomhusu huyu mtu?”
Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
30 Wakamjibu na kumwambia, “Kama huyu mtu asingekuwa mtenda maovu, tusingemleta kwako.”
They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31 Pilato akawaambia, “Mchukueni ninyi wenyewe, mkamhukumu kulingana na sheria yenu.” Nao Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Sheria haituruhusu sisi kumwua mtu yeyote.”
Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death.
32 Walisema haya ili neno la Yesu litimilike, neno ambalo alikuwa amekwisha sema juu ya aina ya kifo chake.
That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die.
33 Basi Pilato akaingia tena Praitorio akumwita Yesu; akamwambia, “Je, wewe ni mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to 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, Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning 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? Thy own nation and the chief priests delivered thee up to 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, my servants would have fought, that I should not be delivered up 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 to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice.
38 Pilato akamwambia, “Kweli ni nini?” Naye alipokwisha sema haya akaenda kwa Wayahudi na kuwaambia “Siona katika lolote mtu huyu.
Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find nothing criminal in him.
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 to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I release to you the king of the Jews?
40 Kisha walipiga kelele wakisema, siyo huyu, tufungulie Baraba.” Naye Baraba alikuwa mnyang'anyi.
Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
