Yohana 18
1 Yesu alipokwisha sema hayo, alikwenda ng'ambo ya kijito Kedroni, pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Mahali hapo palikuwa na bustani, naye Yesu akaingia humo pamoja na wanafunzi wake.
When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with his disciples over the brook Kedron; where there was a garden, into which He entred, and his disciples. Now Judas who was gone to betray Him,
2 Yuda, aliyemsaliti Yesu, alipajua mahali hapo kwani mara nyingi Yesu alikutana na wanafunzi wake huko.
knew the place: for Jesus often met there together with his disciples: Judas therefore having got a band of soldiers,
3 Basi, Yuda alichukua kikosi cha askari na walinzi kutoka kwa makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo, akaja nao bustanini wakiwa na taa, mienge na silaha.
and officers from the chief priests and pharisees, cometh thither with candles, and lamps, and arms.
4 Yesu, hali akijua yote yatakayompata, akatokea, akawauliza, “Mnamtafuta nani?”
Upon which Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon Him, went forth and said unto them, Whom do ye seek? They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene.
5 Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti!” Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye.” Msaliti Yuda alikuwa amesimama hapo pamoja nao.
Jesus saith unto them, I am He. And Judas that betrayed Him, was standing with them.
6 Basi, Yesu alipowaambia: “Mimi ndiye”, wakarudi nyuma, wakaanguka chini.
Now as soon as He said unto them, I am He, they went backwards and fell to the ground.
7 Yesu akawauliza tena, “Mnamtafuta nani?” Wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti!”
Then He asked them again, Whom do ye seek?
8 Yesu akawaambia, “Nimekwisha waambieni kwamba mimi ndiye. Basi, kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa waende zao.”
And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9 (Alisema hayo ili yapate kutimia yale aliyosema: “Wale ulionipa sikumpoteza hata mmoja.”)
That the word might be fulfilled which He had spoken, "Of those, whom Thou hast given me, I have lost none."
10 Simoni Petro alikuwa na upanga; basi, akauchomoa, akamkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu. Mtumishi huyo aliitwa 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 Basi, Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako alani. Je, nisinywe kikombe alichonipa Baba?”
But Jesus said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Kile kikosi cha askari, mkuu wake na walinzi wa Wayahudi walimkamata Yesu, wakamfunga
So the band with the captain, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus, and bound Him:
13 na kumpeleka kwanza kwa Anasi; Anasi alikuwa baba mkwe wa Kayafa ambaye alikuwa Kuhani Mkuu mwaka huo.
and led Him away to Annas first: (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high-priest that year: )
14 Huyo Kayafa ndiye aliyekuwa amewashauri Wayahudi kwamba ni afadhali mtu mmoja afe kwa ajili ya taifa.
and Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest. Now Caiaphas was he who had said in council to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simoni Petro pamoja na mwanafunzi mwingine walimfuata Yesu. Huyo mwanafunzi mwingine alikuwa anajulikana kwa Kuhani Mkuu, hivyo aliingia pamoja na Yesu ndani ya ukumbi wa Kuhani Mkuu.
And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. And that other disciple being known to the high priest went in with Jesus into the high-priest's hall.
16 Lakini Petro alikuwa amesimama nje, karibu na mlango. Basi, huyo mwanafunzi mwingine aliyekuwa anajulikana kwa Kuhani Mkuu alitoka nje akasema na mjakazi, mngoja mlango, akamwingiza Petro ndani.
But Peter stood at the door without: the other disciple therefore, who was known to the high-priest, went out and spake to her that kept the door, and brought Peter in.
17 Huyo msichana mngoja mlango akamwuliza Petro, “Je, nawe pia ni mmoja wa wanafunzi wa mtu huyu?” Petro akamwambia, “Si mimi!”
Then saith the maid, that kept the door, to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? and he said, I am not.
18 Watumishi na walinzi walikuwa wamewasha moto kwa sababu kulikuwa na baridi, wakawa wanaota moto. Naye Petro alikuwa amesimama pamoja nao akiota moto.
And the servants and officers stood 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 Basi, Kuhani akamwuliza Yesu juu ya wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.
The high-priest therefore asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and his doctrine.
20 Yesu akamjibu, “Nimesema na kila mtu daima hadharani. Kila mara nimefundisha katika masunagogi na Hekaluni, mahali wakutanikiapo Wayahudi wote; na wala sijasema chochote kwa siri.
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world, I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews are continually resorting: and in secret have said nothing. Why dost thou ask me?
21 Kwa nini waniuliza mimi? Waulize wale waliosikia nini niliwaambia. Wao wanajua nilivyosema.”
ask them that heard me, what I have said unto them: for they know what I have said.
22 Alipokwisha sema hayo mlinzi mmoja aliyekuwa amesimama hapo akampiga kofi akisema, “Je, ndivyo unavyomjibu Kuhani Mkuu?”
And upon his saying these things, one of the officers that stood by struck Jesus, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest thus?
23 Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nimesema vibaya, onyesha huo ubaya; lakini ikiwa nimesema vema, mbona wanipiga?”
Jesus answered him, If I have ever spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why dost thou strike me?
24 Basi, Anasi akampeleka Yesu akiwa amefungwa, kwa Kuhani Mkuu Kayafa.
[See verse 24 between verse 13 and 14.]
25 Petro alikuwa hapo akiota moto. Basi, wakamwuliza, “Je, nawe pia si mmoja wa wanafunzi wake?” Yeye akakana na kusema, “Si mimi!”
And Simon Peter stood warming himself: and they said to him, Art not thou one of his disciples? and he denied it, and said, I am not.
26 Mmoja wa watumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, jamaa wa yule aliyekatwa sikio na Petro, akamwuliza, “Je, mimi sikukuona wewe bustanini pamoja naye?”
Then said one of the servants of the high-priest, kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off, Did not I see thee in the garden with Him?
27 Petro akakana tena; mara jogoo akawika.
Peter then denied it again, and immediately the cock crew.
28 Basi, walimchukua Yesu kutoka kwa Kayafa, wakampeleka ikulu. Ilikuwa alfajiri, nao ili waweze kula Pasaka, hawakuingia ndani ya ikulu wasije wakatiwa najisi.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: (now it was morning) and they themselves went not in to the court, least they should be defiled, and so might not eat of the passover.
29 Kwa hiyo, Pilato aliwaendea nje, akasema, “Mna mashtaka gani juu ya mtu huyu?”
Therefore Pilate went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
30 Wakamjibu, “Kama huyu hangalikuwa mwovu hatungalimleta kwako.”
They answered him, If He were not a malefactor, we should not have delivered Him to thee.
31 Pilato akawaambia, “Haya, mchukueni ninyi wenyewe, mkamhukumu kufuatana na Sheria yenu.” Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi hatuna mamlaka ya kumwua mtu yeyote.”
Then said Pilate to them, Take Him, and judge Him according to your law. But the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 (Ilifanyika hivyo yapate kutimia maneno aliyosema Yesu kuonyesha atakufa kifo gani.)
that what Jesus had said might be fulfilled, signifying by what death He should die.
33 Pilato akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwita Yesu na kumwuliza: “Ati wewe ndiye 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, hayo ni maneno yako au wengine wamekwambia habari zangu?”
Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this from thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35 Pilato akamjibu, “Je, ni Myahudi mimi? Taifa lako na makuhani wamekuleta kwangu. Umefanya nini?”
Pilate replied, Am I a Jew? thine own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?
36 Yesu akamjibu, “Ufalme wangu si wa ulimwengu huu. Kama ufalme wangu ungekuwa wa ulimwengu huu watumishi wangu wangenipigania nisitiwe mikononi mwa Wayahudi. Lakini sasa ufalme wangu si wa hapa.”
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not have been delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence.
37 Hapo Pilato akamwambia, “Basi, wewe ni Mfalme?” Yesu akajibu, “Wewe umesema kwamba mimi ni Mfalme. Mimi nimezaliwa kwa ajili hiyo; na kwa ajili hiyo nimekuja ulimwenguni kuwaambia watu juu ya ukweli. Kila mtu wa ukweli hunisikiliza.”
Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest right, I am a king. For this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, even that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
38 Pilato akamwambia, “Ukweli ni kitu gani?” Pilato alipokwisha sema hayo, aliwaendea tena Wayahudi nje, akawaambia, “Mimi sioni hatia yoyote kwake.
Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth? And as soon as he had spoke, he went out again to the Jews,
39 Lakini, mnayo desturi kwamba mimi niwafungulie mfungwa mmoja wakati wa Pasaka. Basi, mwataka niwafungulieni Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
and saith unto them, I find no fault at all in Him. But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release to you the king of the Jews?
40 Hapo wakapiga kelele: “La! Si huyu ila Baraba!” Naye Baraba alikuwa mnyang'anyi.
Then they all cried out again, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
