Yuhana 18
1 Na Yesu uleli ulire, a nuzu a nya nin nono katwa me a kafin kurawan kidiron, kikanga na awa piru nkon kunen ku, ame nin nono katwa me.
After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--Himself and His disciples.
2 Nene Yahuda, ulenge na awa cinu ulewughe, ame wang wa yiru kitene, bara Yesu wa duzo kiti kane ko kome kubi nin nono katwa me.
Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.
3 Yahuda, na amal se ligozi na soja nin nadidya kiti ndya na Priest a Afarisawa, da kitime nin tila, tico a imon likum.
So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Yesu, ule na awa yiru nin vat nimon na idi sesughe, kata udu ubun a tirino nani, “Idin piziru ghari ku?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.
5 I kawaghe i woro “Yesu Nnazaret.” Yesu woro nani, “Mere ame.” Yahuda, ule na awa lewu ghe, awa yissing ligowe nin na soje.
"For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.)
6 Na aworo nani, “Mere” ikpilla nin kidung i deu kutyen.
As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.
7 A tirino nani tutung, “idin piziru ghari ku?” I kuru i woro, “Yesu Nnazaret.”
Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
8 Yesu kawa nani, “Nworo minu mere ame; andi meri idin piziri, sunan alele i nya ucin mene.”
"I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go their way."
9 Uwa so nani uliru nan kulo na awa woro, “Nalenge na una nii, na nna wultun unit urum ba.”
He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."
10 Simon Bitrus, ule na awa min kussangali, a shuku kunin a kowo kucin ndya na Priest kutuf ncara uleme me. Lissa kucine wadi Malkusari.
Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Yesu woro Bitrus ku, “kurtuno kusangale nanya kuparin me. Kakuke na Ucif nani nan nwa sono kani ba?”
Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"
12 Ligozin na soje, a adidya mine, nin na didya na Yahudawa tunna ikifo Yesu ku i tereghe.
So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him.
13 Itu ido ninghe kitin Annas, bara ame wadi kumaran Kefas, ulenge na awa di udya na Prieste nloli likusse.
They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
14 Nene Kefasari ulenge na awa ni a Yahudawa ukpilizu nworu ucaun unit urum ku bara anite.
(It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is to your interest that one man should die for the People.")
15 Simon Bitrus dofino Yesu ku, nanere wang nkang gono katwa we. Ame kani gono katwa we, udya na Priest wa yirughe, amini wa piru kuti nshara ndya na Prieste nin Yesu;
Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
16 Bitrus wa yissin kibulun ndas. Ame kani gono katwa we, na udya na Prieste wa yirughe tunna anuzu udas adi lirin nin kucin kuwani na kuwadi nca kibulunghe a pirna Bitrus ku nanye.
But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in.
17 Kucin kuwane na awa din nca kibulughe woro Bitrus ku. “Nafe umonghari nanyan nono katwa nnit ulelere ba?” A woro “Na meri ba.”
This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.
18 Inung acine nin na dugari wa yissin kitene; iwa susso ula nin ticini bara tituwui wadi, inani wa di lanzu nla, Bitrus wadi ligowe nan ghinu, awa yissin nlanzun nla.
Now because it was cold the servants and the police had lighted a charcoal fire, and were standing and warming themselves; and Peter too remained with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Udya na Priest uni wa tirin Yesu ku ubellen nono katwa me nin dursuzu kiti me.
So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
20 Yesu kawa ghe aworo, “Nna suzu uliru kiti nanit kanang; Nna suzu uliru nanya niti nlira nin niti nilau, kikanga na a Yahudawa na da zurso ku vat. na nna bellu umon uliru likire ba.
"As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
21 Inyaghari nta umini ntirini? Tirino alenge na ina lanzan imon ile na nna bellu. Anit alele yiru imon ilenge na nna bellu.”
Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."
22 Na Yesu belle nani, umong nanya na dugari wa yissin kupo Yesu a tunna a rioghe nin cara me a woro. “Nanere uma kpanu udya na Prieste?”
Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the High Priest?"
23 Yesu kawaghe aworo, “Andi nbelle imonimong nanzang, durson ni utanu nighe, vat nani andi nkawa gegeme, inyaghari nta umini reoyi?”
"If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"
24 Annas uni wa teccu Yesu ku a turunghe kitin Kefas udya na Priest.
So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.
25 Simon Bitrus wa yissin nlazun nla. Anite woroghe, “Nafe wang umong nanyan nono katwa mere ba?” A nari ulire a woro, “Na meng di nan ghinu ba.”
But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "No, I am not."
26 Umong nanya nacin Ndya na Priest na awadi fimus nin lenge na Bitrus wa kalaghe kutufe, wa woro, “Na meng niyenefi kunene ninghe ba?”
One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
27 Bitrus kuru anari ulire, kukulok tunna ku kolsuno mas.
Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed.
28 Iwa nya nin Yesu kitin Kefas udu kuti nshara. Nin kwui dindinghari wadi, na inung ati mine wa piru kuti nsharawe ba, bara iwa ti atimine ndinong, inan se ulin paska.
So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.
29 Bilatus nuzu ado kiti mine, a woro, “kuyapin kulaperi idamun liti nnit ulele?”
Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation have you to bring against this man?"
30 I kawaghe i woro, “Ndafo na unit ulele unan katwa kananzanghari ba, na tiwa damun kitife ba.”
"If the man were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."
31 Bilatus woro nani, “Yiranghe i nyamun idi sughe usharawe ussanmin dert ni duka mine.” A Yahudawe woroghe, “Na udi dert arik molu unit ba.”
"Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death."
32 Iwa belin nani uliru Yesu na se ukulu, ulire na awa belin wa durso imusin yapin ukulari ama su.
They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.
33 Bilatus kuru a pira kutin sharawe a yicila Yesu ku; a woroghe, “fere ugo na Yahudawe?”
Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
34 Yesu kawa, aworoghe, “udin tiru bara litifere sa amonghari nbelin fi utirini?”
"Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?" replied Jesus.
35 Bilatus kawa, “Na meng Kuyahudawari ba, sa uyene ndi? Anan minfere nin dya na Priest nnakpa fi nacara ning; iyaghari unati?”
"Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
36 Yesu kawa, aworo, “Tigo ning na tin nle uyiere ba. Nda Tigo ning tin nle uyiere, anan katwa ning wa su likum bara iwa nakpayi nacara na Yahudawa, anan Tigo ning na tina dak unuzun le uyieri ba.”
"My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin."
37 Bilatus woroghe, “Ani fe ugowarie?” Yesu kawa ghe, “fere woro meng ugowari, bara nanere ina marui, bara nanere nna dak nanya in yie bara nnan na ushaida kidegene. Vat nlenge na ame un kidegenari din lanzu liwui ning.”
"So then you are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice."
38 Bitrus woroghe, “Iyaghari kidege?” Na a belle nani, akuru anuzu tutung ado kiti na Yahudawe a woro nani, “Na nse unit ulele nin kulapi ba.
"What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him.
39 Idi nin tanda nworu nma sun minu kucin kurum nin kubin paska. Nene idi nin su nsun minu ugo na Yahudawe?”
But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?"
40 I kuru ijarta nin tiwui kang I woro, “Na unit ulele ba, ama Barabbas.” Barabbas wa di ukiri udyawari.
With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
