Joan 18
1 Gauça hauc erran cituenean, ilki cedin Iesus bere discipuluequin Cedrongo torrentaz berce aldera, non baitzén baratzebat, ceinetan sar baitzedin hura eta haren discipuluac
When Jesus had said this, he went out with his disciples and crossed the brook Kedron to a place where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples went.
2 Eta baçaquian leku hura Iudasec-ere, ceinec traditzen baitzuen hura: ecen anhitzetan Iesus bildu içan cen hara bere discipuluequin.
The place was well known to Judas, the betrayer, for Jesus and his disciples had often met there.
3 Iudas bada harturic soldadozco bandabat, eta Sacrificadore principaletaric eta Phariseuetaric officierac, ethor cedin hara lanternequin eta torchoequin eta harmequin.
So Judas, who had obtained the soldiers of the Roman garrison, and some police-officers from the Chief Priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Iesusec bada çaquizquialaric haren gainera ethorteco ciradenen gauça guciac, aitzinaraturic erran ciecén, Noren bilha çabiltzate?
Jesus, aware of all that was coming upon him, went to meet them, and said to them: “For whom are you looking?”
5 Ihardets cieçoten, Iesus Nazarenoren. Dioste Iesusec, Ni naiz. Eta hequin cegoen Iudas-ere ceinec traditzen baitzuen hura.
“Jesus of Nazareth,” was their answer. “I am he,” said Jesus. (Judas, the betrayer, was also standing with them.)
6 Bada erran cerauenean, Ni naiz, guibelerat citecen, eta eror citecen lurrera.
When Jesus said ‘I am he,’ they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Orduan berriz interroga citzan, Noren bilha çabiltzate? Eta hec erran ceçaten, Iesus Nazarenoren.
So he again asked for whom they were looking, and they answered: “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Erran drauçuet ecen ni naicela: bada baldin ene bilha baçabiltzate, vtzitzaçue hauc ioaitera.
“I have already told you that I am he,” replied Jesus, “so, if it is for me that you are looking, let these men go.”
9 Erran çuen hitza compli ledinçát, Niri hic eman drauzquidanetaric, eztiát galdu batre.
This was in fulfilment of his words — ‘Of those whom thou hast given me I have not lost one.’
10 Eta Simon Pierrisec nola baitzuen ezpatá, idoqui ceçan hura, eta io ceçan Sacrificadore subiranoaren cerbitzaria, eta ebaqui cieçón escuineco beharria: eta cerbitzariaren icena cen Malchus.
At this, Simon Peter, who had a sword with him, drew it, and struck the High Priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Erran cieçón bada Iesusec Pierrisi, Eçarrac eure ezpatá maguinán: ala eztut edanen Aitac niri eman drautan copa?
But Jesus said to Peter: “Sheathe your sword. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?”
12 Orduan bandác eta capitainac eta Iuduen officieréc elkarrequin hatzaman ceçaten Iesus, eta esteca ceçaten.
So the soldiers of the garrison, with their Commanding Officer and the Jewish police, arrested Jesus and bound him,
13 Eta eraman ceçaten lehenic Annasgana: (ecen Caiphasen guinharreba cen, cein baitzén vrthe hartaco Sacrificadore subirano) eta harc igor ceçan hura estecaturic Caiphas Sacrificadore subiranoagana.
and took him first of all to Annas. Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year.
14 Eta Caiphas cen conseillu eman cerauena Iuduey ecen probetchu cela guiçombat hil ledin populuagatic.
It was Caiaphas who had counselled the Jews, that it was best that one man should die for the people.
15 Eta iarreiquiten çayón Iesusi Simon Pierris, eta berce discipulubat, eta discipulu hura cen Sacrificadore subiranoaren eçaguna, eta sar cedin Iesusequin batean Sacrificadore subiranoaren salán
Meanwhile Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. That disciple, being well-known to the High Priest, went with Jesus into the High Priest’s court-yard,
16 Baina Pierris borthaldean campotic cegoen. Ilki cedin bada berce discipulu Sacrificadore subiranoaren eçaguna, eta minça cequión nescato borthalçainari, eta sar eraci ceçan Pierris.
while Peter stood outside by the door. Presently the other disciple — the one well-known to the High Priest — went out and spoke to the portress, and brought Peter in.
17 Eta erran cieçón Pierrisi nescato borthalçainac. Ez othe aiz hi-ere guiçon hunen discipuluetaric? Dio harc, Ez naun.
So the maidservant said to Peter: “Are not you also one of this man’s disciples?” “No, I am not,” he said.
18 Eta ceuden han cerbitzariac eta officierac ikatz kamborra eguinic, ecen hotz ari cen, eta berotzen ciraden: eta cen hequin Pierris-ere eta berotzen cegoen.
The servants and police-officers were standing round a charcoal fire (which they had made because it was cold), and were warming themselves. Peter, too, was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Sacrificadore subiranoac bada interroga ceçan Iesus bere discipuluéz eta bere doctrináz.
The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 Ihardets cieçón Iesusec, Ni publicoqui minçatu içan natzayóc munduari, nic bethiere iracatsi vkan diat synagogán eta templean, nora Iuduac alde gucietaric biltzen baitirade, eta secretuan eznauc minçatu deus.
“For my part,” answered Jesus, “I have spoken to all the world openly. I always taught in some Synagogue, or in the Temple Courts, places where all the Jews assemble, and I never spoke of anything in secret.
21 Cergatic interrogatzen nauc ni? interrogaitzac ni cer minçatu natzayen ençun dutenac: hará, hec ciaquié cer erran dudan nic.
Why question me? Question those who have listened to me as to what I have spoken about to them. They must know what I said.”
22 Eta gauça hauc harc erran cituenean, present ciraden officieretaric batec cihor colpebat eman cieçón Iesusi, cioela, Horrela ihardesten draucac Sacrificadore subiranoari?
When Jesus said this, one of the police-officers, who was standing near, gave him a blow with his hand. “Do you answer the High Priest like that?” he exclaimed.
23 Ihardets cieçón Iesusec, baldin gaizqui minçatu banaiz, testifica eçac gaizquiaz: eta baldin vngui erran badut, cergatic ioiten nauc?
“If I said anything wrong, give evidence about it,” replied Jesus; “but if not, why do you strike me?”
24 Orduan igor ceçan hura Annasec estecaturic Caiphas Sacrificadore subiranoagana.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.
25 Eta cegoen han Simon Pierris, eta berotzen cen: erran cieçoten bada hari, Ez othe aiz hi-ere haren discipuluetaric? vka ceçan harc, eta erran ceçan, Ez naiz.
Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing there, warming himself; so they said to him: “Are not you also one of his disciples?” Peter denied it. “No, I am not,” he said.
26 Diotsa hari Sacrificadore subiranoaren cerbitzarietaric cembeitec, Pierrisec beharria ebaqui ceraucanaren ahaide batec, Ez aut nic hi ikussi baratzean harequin?
One of the High Priest’s servants, a relation of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, exclaimed: “Did not I myself see you with him in the garden?”
27 Orduan berriz vka ceçan Pierrisec, eta bertan oillarrac io ceçan.
Peter again denied it; and at that moment a cock crowed.
28 Guero eraman ceçaten Iesus Caiphasganic Pretoriora: eta cen goiça, eta berac etzitecen sar Pretoriora, satsu ezlitecençat, baina Bazcoa ian leçatençat.
From Caiaphas they took Jesus to the Government House. It was early in the morning. But they did not enter the Government House themselves, lest they should become ‘defiled,’ and so be unable to eat the Passover.
29 Ilki cedin bada Pilate hetara campora, eta erran ceçan, Cer accusatione daccarqueçue guiçon hunen contra?
Therefore Pilate came outside to speak to them. “What charge do you bring against this man?” he asked.
30 Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Baldin hori gaizqui-eguile ezpaliz, ezquindrauqueán hiri liuratu.
“If he had not been a criminal, we should not have given him up to you,” they answered.
31 Dioste orduan Pilatec, Har eçaçue haur çuec, eta çuen Leguearen arauez condemna eçaçue. Orduan erran cieçoten Iuduéc, Eztuc sori guretzát nehoren hiltzea.
“Take him yourselves,” said Pilate, “and try him by your own Law.” “We have no power to put any one to death,” the Jews replied —
32 Haur cen Iesusen hitza compli ledinçát, cein erran baitzeçan aditzera emaiten çuela cer herioz hil behar luen.
In fulfilment of what Jesus had said when indicating the death that he was destined to die.
33 Sar cedin bada berriz Pretoriora Pilate, eta dei ceçan Iesus, eta erran cieçón, Hi aiz Iuduen Reguea?
After that, Pilate went into the Government House again, and calling Jesus up, asked him: “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34 Ihardets cieçon Iesusec, Eurorren burutic hic hori erraiten duc, ala bercéc erran draue niçaz?
“Do you ask me that yourself?” replied Jesus, “or did others say it to you about me?”
35 Ihardets ceçan Pilatec, Ala ni Iudu naiz? eure nationeac eta Sacrificadore principaléc liuratu arauté: cer eguin duc?
“Do you take me for a Jew?” was Pilate’s answer. “It is your own nation and the Chief Priests who have given you up to me. What have you done?”
36 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Ene resumá eztuc mundu hunetaric: baldin mundu hunetaric baliz ene resumá, ene gendeac combati litezquec Iuduey liura eznendinçát: baina orain ene resumá eztuc hemengo.
“My kingly power,” replied Jesus, “is not due to this world. If it had been so, my servants would be doing their utmost to prevent my being given up to the Jews; but my kingly power is not from the world.”
37 Erran cieçón orduan Pilatec, Regue aiz bada hi? Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Hic dioc ecen Regue naicela ni. Ni hunetacotzát iayo içan nauc, eta hunetacotzát ethorri içan nauc mundura, testimoniage demodançát eguiari. Eguiatic den guciac, ençuten dic ene voza.
“So you are a King after all!” exclaimed Pilate. “Yes, it is true I am a King,” answered Jesus. “I was born for this, I have come into the world for this — to bear testimony to the Truth. Every one who is on the side of Truth listens to my voice.”
38 Diotsa Pilatec, Cer da eguia? Eta haur erran çuenean, berriz ilki cedin Iuduetara, eta dioste, Nic eztut erideiten haur baithan causaric batre.
“What is Truth?” exclaimed Pilate. After saying this, he went out to the Jews again, and said: “For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.
39 Eta costumabat baituçue bat larga dieçaçuedan Bazcoz: nahi duçue bada larga dieçaçuedan Iuduen Reguea?
It is, however, the custom for me to grant you the release of one man at the Passover Festival. Do you wish for the release of the King of the Jews?”
40 Oihuz iar citecen bada berriz guciac, cioitela, Ez hori, baina Barabbas: eta cen Barabbas gaichtaguin-bat.
“No, not this man,” they shouted again, “but Barabbas!” This Barabbas was a robber.
