< Yohane 18 >

1 Yesu bɔɔ saa mpaeɛ yi wieeɛ no, ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no firii baabi a wɔwɔ no kɔtwaa asuo Kidron kɔɔ turo bi mu.
Wathi eseqedile ukukhuleka, uJesu wasuka kanye labafundi bakhe bakhuphuka iSigodi seKhidroni. Ngaphetsheya kwakulensimu yama-Oliva lapho angena khona labafundi bakhe.
2 Esiane sɛ na Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no taa kɔ hɔ no enti, na Yuda a ɔyii no maeɛ no nim hɔ.
UJudasi owamnikelayo wayeyazi leyondawo ngoba uJesu wayehlezi esiyahlangana khona labafundi bakhe.
3 Asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Farisifoɔ no somaa Yuda ne asraafoɔ ne asɔredan mu awɛmfoɔ a wɔkurakura akodeɛ ne nkanea kɔɔ faako a wɔwɔ no.
Ngakho uJudasi weza ensimini leyo, ehola ixuku lamanxusa kanye lezinye izikhulu ezazivela kubaphristi abakhulu labaFarisi. Babephethe izibane lezikhali.
4 Yesu a na ɔnim deɛ ɛbɛba ne so nyinaa no kɔhyiaa wɔn bisaa wɔn sɛ. “Hwan na mohwehwɛ no?”
UJesu esazi konke okwakuzakwenzakala kuye waya phambili wababuza wathi, “Lifuna bani na?”
5 Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Yesu a ɔfiri Nasaret no.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Me ni!” Na Yuda a ɔyii no maeɛ no gyina hɔ bi.
Baphendula bathi, “uJesu waseNazaretha.” UJesu wathi, “Nginguye.” (UJudasi, umthengisi wayemi khonapho labo.)
6 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Me ni” no, wɔpinpinii wɔn akyi na wɔhwehwee ase.
UJesu esethe, “Nginguye,” batsheda bawela phansi.
7 Ɔsane bisaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Morehwehwɛ hwan?” Na wɔbuaa sɛ, “Yesu a ɔfiri Nasaret no.”
Wababuza njalo wathi, “Lifuna bani na?” Bathi, “UJesu waseNazaretha.”
8 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Maka akyerɛ mo dada sɛ me ni. Sɛ me na morehwehwɛ me de a, ɛnneɛ momma mʼasuafoɔ no nkɔ.”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngilitshelile ngathi nginguye. Nxa lidinga mina, yekelani amadoda la azihambele.”
9 Ɔkaa yei nyinaa sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nsɛm a wɔaka sɛ, “Agya, wɔn a wode wɔn maa me no mu baako koraa nyeraeɛ” no, bɛba mu.
Lokhu kwenzakala ukuze amazwi awakhulumayo athi: “Kangilahlekelwanga lamunye walabo ongiphe bona agcwaliseke.”
10 Saa ɛberɛ no, Petro a na ɔkura sekan no tweeɛ, de twaa ɔsɔfopanin no asomfoɔ no mu baako aso nifa. Saa akoa no din de Malko.
Kwasekusithi uSimoni Phethro owayelenkemba, wayikhokha wagalela inceku yomphristi omkhulu, wayiquma indlebe yayo yakwesokunene. (Ibizo lenceku leyo lalinguMalikhusi.)
11 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Fa wo sekan no sane hyɛ faako a wotwe firiiɛ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ menom kuruwa a mʼAgya de ama me no ano anaa?”
UJesu wamkhalimela uPhethro wathi, “Beka khatshana inkemba yakho! Ngingayinathi inkezo uBaba asengiphe yona na?”
12 Asraafoɔ no ne wɔn panin ne asɔredan mu awɛmfoɔ no kyeree Yesu, kyekyeree ne nsa,
Kwasekusithi iqembu lamanxusa lomlawuli walo kanye lezikhulu zamaJuda bambamba uJesu. Bambopha,
13 de no dii ɛkan kɔmaa Anas a na nʼase ne Kaiafa a saa ɛberɛ no na ɔyɛ Ɔsɔfopanin no.
bamusa ku-Anasi kuqala owayenguyisezala kaKhayifasi owayengumphristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka.
14 Kaiafa na ɔtuu Yudafoɔ no fo sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ onipa baako bɛwu ama ɔman no.
UKhayifasi nguye owayecebise amaJuda ukuthi kwakuzaba kuhle ukuthi indoda eyodwa ifele abantu.
15 Simon Petro ne osuani baako dii Yesu akyi. Na osuani baako no yɛ obi a ɔsɔfopanin no nim no yie. Saa osuani no na ɔnyaa ɛkwan kɔɔ ɔsɔfopanin no efie hɔ.
USimoni Phethro lomunye umfundi babemlandela uJesu. Kwathi ngoba lowomfundi wayesaziwa ngumphristi omkhulu wangena loJesu egumeni lomphristi omkhulu,
16 Petro deɛ ɔkaa ɛpono no akyi. Saa osuani a na ɔnim ɔsɔfopanin no yie no, sane baeɛ ne abaayewa a na ɔhwɛ ɛpono no ano no bɛkasaeɛ maa Petro nyaa ɛkwan kɔɔ mu.
kodwa uPhethro yena walinda ngaphandle komnyango. Lowomfundi owayesaziwa ngumphristi omkhulu wabuya wakhuluma lentombazana eyayilindile khonapho, wasengenisa uPhethro.
17 Abaayewa a ɔgyina ɛpono ano no bisaa Petro sɛ, “Wonyɛ saa onipa no asuafoɔ no mu baako anaa?” Petro buaa sɛ, “Dabi.”
Intombazana eyayilinde emnyango yambuza uPhethro yathi, “Konje wena lawe ungomunye wabafundi bendoda le?” Waphendula wathi, “Kangisuye.”
18 Saa ɛberɛ no na ɛyɛ awɔberɛ, enti na asomfoɔ no ne asraafoɔ no asɔ ogya a wɔreto. Petro nso kɔgyinaa hɔ too ogya no bi.
Kwakuqanda, ngakho izinceku lezikhulu zazimi zisotha umlilo ezaziwubasile. UPhethro laye wayemi lazo esotha umlilo.
19 Ɔsɔfopanin no bisaa Yesu nsɛm faa nʼasuafoɔ no ne ne nkyerɛkyerɛ ho.
Ngalesosikhathi umphristi omkhulu wayebuzabuza uJesu mayelana labafundi bakhe langemfundiso yakhe.
20 Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mekaa me nsɛm nyinaa wɔ dwam na mekyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ asɔredan ne hyiadan mu a nnipa nyinaa hyia hɔ no. Menkaa asɛm biara wɔ kɔkoam.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngikhulume obala kuwo umhlaba. Kokuphela ngangifundisa emasinagogweni kumbe ethempelini lapho amaJuda onke abuthana khona. Kangikhulumanga lutho ensitha.
21 Adɛn enti na wobisa saa asɛm yi? Bisa wɔn a wɔtiee me no. Wɔn na wɔnim asɛm a mekaeɛ.”
Libuzelani mina? Buzani labo abangizwayo. Ngiqinisile bayakwazi engakukhulumayo.”
22 Yesu kaa saa no, awɛmfoɔ no mu baako bɔɔ no sotorɔ kaa sɛ, “Wo sɛɛ ne hwan a wotumi kasa ɔsɔfopanin anim saa.”
UJesu esetshonjalo, omunye wezikhulu ezaziseduze kwakhe wamhlankala ebusweni, wambuza wathi, “Yiyo indlela yokuphendula umphristi omkhulu leyo na?”
23 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Sɛ maka asɛmmɔne bi a, ka asɛm a mekaeɛ no na obiara a ɔwɔ ha nte bi. Na sɛ asɛm a mekaeɛ no nso yɛ nokorɛ deɛ a, adɛn enti na wobɔ me?”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Nxa ngikhulume okungafanelanga kutsho. Kodwa nxa ngikhulume iqiniso, ungitshayelani na?”
24 Afei, Anas maa wɔde Yesu a wɔakyekyere ne nsa no kɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanin Kaiafa anim.
U-Anasi wasemedlulisela kuKhayifasi umphristi omkhulu elokhu ebotshiwe.
25 Ɛberɛ a Petro da so gyina hɔ reto ogya no bi no, wɔn a na wɔgyina hɔ no mu bi bisaa no sɛ, “Wo nso wonyɛ ɔbarima no asuafoɔ no mu baako anaa?” Petro sanee bio sɛ, “Dabi, menka wɔn ho.”
USimoni Phethro wayelokhu emi esotha umlilo, abanye bambuza bathi, “Kakusiqiniso yini ukuthi ungomunye wabafundi bakhe na?” Waphika wathi, “Kangisuye.”
26 Ɔsɔfopanin no asomfoɔ no mu baako a na ɔyɛ deɛ Petro twaa nʼaso no busuani no bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ wo na na wo ne no wɔ turo no mu hɔ no?”
Omunye wezinceku zomphristi omkhulu, owayeyisihlobo sendoda eyaqunywa indlebe nguPhethro yamqonda yathi, “Kangikubonanga yini ulaye esivandeni sama-oliva na?”
27 Petro sane sanee bio sɛ, “Dabi.” Nʼano sii ara pɛ na akokɔ bɔneeɛ.
UPhethro waphika njalo, khonokho nje iqhude lakhala.
28 Wɔde Yesu firi Kaiafa fie de no kɔɔ Pilato ahemfie. Saa ɛberɛ no na ɛyɛ anɔpahema. Esiane sɛ na Yudafoɔ no mpɛ sɛ efi ka wɔn na wɔatumi adi Twam Afahyɛ aduane no bi enti, wɔankɔ hɔ bi.
AmaJuda asemthatha uJesu kuKhayifasi amusa esigodlweni sombusi ongumRoma. Khonapho kwasekusempondozankomo njalo ukuze angazingcolisi ngokwenkonzo yawo amaJuda kawangenanga esigodlweni; ayefuna ukuthi akulungele ukudla iPhasika.
29 Pilato firii adi baa faako a na nnipa no wɔ no bɛbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Bɔne bɛn na saa onipa yi ayɛ?”
Ngakho uPhilathu waphuma weza kuwo wawabuza wathi, “Limbeka cala bani lumuntu na?”
30 Nnipa no buaa no sɛ, “Sɛ ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara a anka yɛamfa no amma wʼanim ha.”
Aphendula athi, “Kube ubengesiso isikliwi besingasoze simlethe kuwe.”
31 Pilato ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo ara momfa no nkɔ na momfa mo mmara so nni nʼasɛm.” Yudafoɔ no nso kaa sɛ, “Yɛnni tumi sɛ yɛkum obi.”
UPhilathu wathi, “Mthatheni lina limahlulele ngokomthetho wenu.” AmaJuda atshinga athi, “Phela thina kasilawo amandla okuquma umuntu.”
32 Deɛ ɛsiiɛ yi maa nsɛm a Yesu ka de kyerɛɛ owu ko a ɔbɛwu no daa adi pefee.
Lokhu kwenzakala ukuze amazwi uJesu ayewakhulumile ngendlela ayezakufa ngayo agcwaliseke.
33 Pilato sane kɔɔ nʼahemfie hɔ kɔbisaa Yesu sɛ, “Wone Yudafoɔ ɔhene no anaa?”
UPhilathu wasengena njalo esigodlweni, wabiza uJesu wambuza wathi, “Wena uyinkosi yamaJuda na?”
34 Yesu nso bisaa no sɛ, “Wo ara wʼadwene na wode rebisa me saa asɛm yi, anaasɛ nnipa bi na aka me ho asɛm akyerɛ wo?”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lowo ngumcabango wakho yini kumbe kulabanye abake bakhuluma lawe ngami?”
35 Pilato buaa Yesu sɛ, “Wosusu sɛ meyɛ Yudani anaa? Wo ara wo nkurɔfoɔ ne wɔn asɔfoɔ mpanin na wɔde wo brɛɛ me. Ɛdeɛn na woayɛ?”
UPhilathu waphendula wathi, “Ucabanga ukuthi ngingumJuda na? Ngabantu bakini labaphristi abakhulu abakulethe lapha kimi. Kanti uvele woneni?”
36 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Mʼahennie nnyɛ asase so ahennie; sɛ mʼahennie yɛ asase so ahennie a, anka mʼakyidifoɔ bɛko agye me afiri Yudafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no nsam. Mereka bio sɛ, mʼahennie nnyɛ asase so ahennie.”
UJesu wathi, “Umbuso wami kawusi walumhlaba. Aluba kwakunjalo izinceku zami bezizakulwa ukwenqabela ukuthi ngingabotshwa ngamaJuda. Kodwa hatshi, umbuso wami uvela kwenye indawo.”
37 Pilato see no sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ na woyɛ ɔhene?” Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wo na woseɛ sɛ meyɛ ɔhene. Adeɛ baako pɛ enti na wɔwoo me baa ewiase ha, sɛ memmɛdi nokorɛ ho adanseɛ. Obiara a ɔpɛ nokorɛ no tie me.”
UPhilathu wathi, “Ngakho uyinkosi phela?” UJesu waphendula wathi, “Uqondile ukuthi ngiyinkosi. Ngeqiniso ngazalelwa lokho njalo ngalanda khona emhlabeni, ukuzafakaza iqiniso. Bonke abemi eqinisweni bayangilalela.”
38 Pilato bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn ne saa nokorɛ no?” Afei, Pilato firii adi kɔɔ Yudafoɔ no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Menni asɛm biara a mɛgyina so abu no fɔ.
UPhilathu wabuza wathi, “Yiliphi iqiniso?” Esekutshilo lokhu waphinda waphuma waya kumaJuda wathi, “Angifumani lutho lokumbeka icala.
39 Nanso, sɛdeɛ mo Twam Afahyɛ amanneɛ te no, afeɛ biara moma megyaa ɔdeduani baako ma mo. Mopɛ sɛ megyaa Yudafoɔ ɔhene no ma mo anaa?”
Kodwa kungumkhuba wenu ukuthi ngilikhululele esinye isibotshwa ngesikhathi sePhasika. Lifuna ukuthi ngilikhululele inkosi yamaJuda na?”
40 Yudafoɔ no teateaam sɛ, “Dabi! Ɛnyɛ saa onipa yi. Gyaa Baraba ma yɛn!” Na saa Baraba yi yɛ ɔmammɔfoɔ.
Amemeza athi, “Hatshi, hayi lo! Siphe uBharabhasi!” UBharabhasi wayephatheke ekukhokheleni umvukela.
