< John 18 >

1 Nígbà tí Jesu sì ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí tán, ó jáde pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ lọ sókè odò Kidironi, níbi tí àgbàlá kan wà, nínú èyí tí ó wọ̀, Òun àti àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
When Yeshua had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2 Judasi, ẹni tí ó fihàn, sì mọ ibẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, nítorí nígbà púpọ̀ ni Jesu máa ń lọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
Now Judah, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua often met there with his disciples.
3 Nígbà náà ni Judasi, lẹ́yìn tí ó ti gba ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ-ogun, àti àwọn oníṣẹ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi wá síbẹ̀ ti àwọn ti fìtílà àti ògùṣọ̀, àti ohun ìjà.
Judah then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Nítorí náà bí Jesu ti mọ ohun gbogbo tí ń bọ̀ wá bá òun, ó jáde lọ, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ta ni ẹyin ń wá?”
Yeshua therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn wí pé, “Jesu ti Nasareti.” Jesu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi nìyí.” (Àti Judasi ọ̀dàlẹ̀, dúró pẹ̀lú wọn).
They answered him, “Yeshua of Nazareth.” Yeshua said to them, “I am he.” Judah also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Nítorí náà bí ó ti wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi nìyí,” wọ́n bì sẹ́yìn, wọ́n sì ṣubú lulẹ̀.
When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Nítorí náà ó tún bi wọ́n léèrè, wí pé, “Ta ni ẹ ń wá?” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Jesu ti Nasareti.”
Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Yeshua of Nazareth.”
8 Jesu dáhùn pé, “Mo ti wí fún yín pé, èmi nìyí. Ǹjẹ́ bí èmi ni ẹ bá ń wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí àwọn wọ̀nyí máa lọ.”
Yeshua answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
9 Kí ọ̀rọ̀ nì kí ó lè ṣẹ, èyí tó wí pé, “Àwọn tí ìwọ fi fún mi, èmi kò sọ ọ̀kan nù nínú wọn.”
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
10 Nígbà náà ni Simoni Peteru ẹni tí ó ní idà, fà á yọ, ó sì ṣá ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ olórí àlùfáà, ó sì ké etí ọ̀tún rẹ̀ sọnù. Orúkọ ìránṣẹ́ náà a máa jẹ́ Makọọsi.
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Nítorí náà Jesu wí fún Peteru pé, “Tẹ idà rẹ bọ inú àkọ̀ rẹ, ago tí baba ti fi fún mi, èmi ó ṣe aláìmu ún bí?”
Yeshua therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
12 Nígbà náà ni ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ-ogun àti olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́, àti àwọn oníṣẹ́ àwọn Júù mú Jesu, wọ́n sì dè é.
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Yeshua and bound him,
13 Wọ́n kọ́kọ́ fà á lọ sọ́dọ̀ Annasi; nítorí òun ni àna Kaiafa, ẹni tí í ṣe olórí àlùfáà ní ọdún náà.
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Kaiafa sá à ni ẹni tí ó ti bá àwọn Júù gbìmọ̀ pé, ó ṣàǹfààní kí ènìyàn kan kú fún àwọn ènìyàn.
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Judeans that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
15 Simoni Peteru sì ń tọ Jesu lẹ́yìn, àti ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mìíràn kan: ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn náà jẹ́ ẹni mí mọ̀ fún olórí àlùfáà, ó sì bá Jesu wọ ààfin olórí àlùfáà lọ.
Simon Peter followed Yeshua, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Yeshua into the court of the high priest;
16 Ṣùgbọ́n Peteru dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà lóde. Nígbà náà ni ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mìíràn náà tí í ṣe ẹni mí mọ̀ fún olórí àlùfáà jáde, ó sì bá olùṣọ́nà náà sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì mú Peteru wọlé.
but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Nígbà náà ni ọmọbìnrin náà tí ń ṣọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà wí fún Peteru pé, “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú ha ń ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ọkùnrin yìí bí?” Ó wí pé, “Èmi kọ́.”
Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
18 Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ àti àwọn aláṣẹ sì dúró níbẹ̀, àwọn ẹni tí ó ti dáná nítorí ti òtútù mú, wọ́n sì ń yáná, Peteru sì dúró pẹ̀lú wọn, ó ń yáná.
Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Nígbà náà ni olórí àlùfáà bi Jesu léèrè ní ti àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, àti ní ti ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ̀.
The high priest therefore asked Yeshua about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi ti sọ̀rọ̀ ní gbangba fún aráyé; nígbà gbogbo ni èmi ń kọ́ni nínú Sinagọgu, àti ní tẹmpili níbi tí gbogbo àwọn Júù ń péjọ sí, èmi kò sì sọ ohun kan ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
Yeshua answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
21 Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń bi mí léèrè? Béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó ti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, ohun tí mo wí fún wọn: wò ó, àwọn wọ̀nyí mọ ohun tí èmi wí.”
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
22 Bí ó sì ti wí èyí tan, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn aláṣẹ tí ó dúró tì í fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lu Jesu, pé, “Alábojútó àlùfáà ni ìwọ ń dá lóhùn bẹ́ẹ̀?”
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Yeshua with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
23 Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí mo bá sọ̀rọ̀ búburú, jẹ́rìí sí búburú náà, ṣùgbọ́n bí rere bá ni, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń lù mí?”
Yeshua answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
24 Nítorí Annasi rán an lọ ní dídè sọ́dọ̀ Kaiafa olórí àlùfáà.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Ṣùgbọ́n Simoni Peteru dúró, ó sì ń yáná. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú ha jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀?” Ó sì sẹ́, wí pé, “Èmi kọ́.”
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ olórí àlùfáà, tí ó jẹ́ ìbátan ẹni tí Peteru gé etí rẹ̀ sọnù, wí pé, “Èmi ko ha rí ọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ní àgbàlá?”
One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
27 Peteru tún sẹ́: lójúkan náà àkùkọ sì kọ.
Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Nígbà náà, wọ́n fa Jesu láti ọ̀dọ̀ Kaiafa lọ sí ibi gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́, ó sì jẹ́ kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀; àwọn tìkára wọn kò wọ inú gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́, kí wọn má ṣe di aláìmọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí wọn lè jẹ àsè ìrékọjá.
They led Yeshua therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29 Nítorí náà Pilatu jáde tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀sùn kín ní ẹ̀yin mú wá fun ọkùnrin yìí?”
Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
30 Wọ́n sì dáhùn wí fún un pé, “Ìbá má ṣe pé ọkùnrin yìí ń hùwà ibi, a kì bá tí fà á lé ọ lọ́wọ́.”
They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
31 Nítorí náà Pilatu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú un tìkára yín, kí ẹ sì ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin yín.” Nítorí náà ni àwọn Júù wí fún un pé, “Kò tọ́ fún wa láti pa ẹnikẹ́ni.”
Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Judeans said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
32 Kí ọ̀rọ̀ Jesu ba à lè ṣẹ, èyí tí ó sọ tí ó ń ṣàpẹẹrẹ irú ikú tí òun yóò kú.
that the word of Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 Nítorí náà, Pilatu tún wọ inú gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́ lọ, ó sì pe Jesu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ha ni a pè ni ọba àwọn Júù bí?”
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34 Jesu dáhùn pé, “Èrò ti ara rẹ ni èyí, tàbí àwọn ẹlòmíràn sọ ọ́ fún ọ nítorí mi?”
Yeshua answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
35 Pilatu dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ha jẹ́ Júù bí? Àwọn ọmọ orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ, àti àwọn olórí àlùfáà ni ó fà ọ́ lé èmi lọ́wọ́, kín ní ìwọ ṣe?”
Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
36 Jesu dáhùn wí pé, “Ìjọba mi kì í ṣe ti ayé yìí. Ìbá ṣe pé ìjọba mi jẹ́ ti ayé yìí, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi ìbá jà, kí a má ba à fi mí lé àwọn Júù lọ́wọ́, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ìjọba mi kì í ṣe láti ìhín lọ.”
Yeshua answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Judeans. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
37 Nítorí náà, Pilatu wí fún un pé, “Ọba ni ọ́ nígbà náà?” Jesu dáhùn wí pé, “Ìwọ wí pé, ọba ni èmi jẹ́. Nítorí èyí ni a ṣe bí mí, àti nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo sì ṣe wá sí ayé kí n lè jẹ́rìí sí òtítọ́, olúkúlùkù ẹni tí í ṣe ti òtítọ́ ń gbọ́ ohùn mi.”
Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Yeshua answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
38 Pilatu wí fún un pé, “Kín ni òtítọ́?” Nígbà tí ó sì ti wí èyí tan, ó tún jáde tọ àwọn Júù lọ, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi kò rí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Judeans, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
39 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ní àṣà kan pé, kí èmi dá ọ̀kan sílẹ̀ fún yín nígbà àjọ ìrékọjá, nítorí náà ẹ ó ha fẹ́ kí èmi dá ọba àwọn Júù sílẹ̀ fún yín bí?”
But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 Nítorí náà gbogbo wọn tún kígbe pé, “Kì í ṣe ọkùnrin yìí, bí kò ṣe Baraba!” Ọlọ́ṣà sì ni Baraba.
Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
