John 18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
Esi Yesu do gbe ɖa vɔ la, eya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo ɖato Kidron Bali la me. Woyi egodo, eye woyi abɔ aɖe si le afi ma la me.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
Azɔ Yuda, ame si de Yesu asi la hã nya teƒe sia, elabena Yesu kplɔa eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yina afi ma edziedzi.
3 Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Ale Yuda va abɔ la me, eye wònɔ ŋgɔ na nunɔlagãwo, Farisitɔwo, asrafowo kple kpovitɔwo. Ale wodze mɔ kple akakatiwo kple akaɖiwo kple aʋawɔnuwo va do ɖe abɔ la me afi si Yesu le.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
Yesu nya nu siwo katã le dzɔdzɔ ge ɖe dzi la. Eyi wo gbɔ, eye wòbia wo be, “Ame ka dim miele?”
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
Wogblɔ be, “Yesu Nazaretitɔ la dim míele.” Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nyee nye esi.” (Eye Yuda, ame si fia eyomemɔ la hã nɔ tsitre ɖe wo gbɔ le afi ma.)
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Esi Yesu gblɔ be, “Nyee nye esi,” la, ameawo katã zɔ yi megbe, eye wodze anyi.
7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
Yesu gabia wo be, “Ame ka dim miele?” Eye wogblɔ be, “Yesu Nazaretitɔ la dim míele.”
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
Yesu gblɔ be, “Megblɔe na mi be nyee nye esi. Nenye nye dim miele la, ekema mina ame siawo nadzo.”
9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
Yesu gblɔ nya sia bena wòawu nya si wògblɔ ɖi la nu be, “Nyemebu ame siwo nètsɔ nam la dometɔ aɖeke o.”
10 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.
Ke Simɔn Petro ɖe eƒe yi le aku me, eye wòkpa ɖusimeto na Malkus, nunɔlagãtɔ la ƒe subɔla.
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Yesu gblɔ na Petro be, “Tsɔ wò yi la de aku me. Ɖe mele be mano kplu si Fofo la tsɔ nam la oa?”
12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
Ale Yudatɔwo ƒe kpovitɔwo kple asrafowo kpakple asrafomegãwo lé Yesu, eye woblae.
13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
Gbã la, wokplɔe yi na Anas, si nye Kayafa to, ame si nye nunɔlagã le ƒe ma me.
14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Kayafae nye ame si ɖo aɖaŋu na Yudatɔwo be anyo be ame ɖeka naku ɖe dukɔ la ta.
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
Simɔn Petro kple nusrɔ̃la ɖeka wodze Yesu yome. Esi nunɔlagã la dze si nusrɔ̃la sia ta la, woɖe mɔ nɛ wòge ɖe nunɔlagã la ƒe xɔxɔnu,
16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
gake enɔ na Petro be wòalala le agboa nu. Nusrɔ̃la bubu sia, ame si nunɔlagã la nya la, trɔ gbɔ va ƒo nu na ɖetugbi si nɔ agboa nu dzɔm, eye wòɖe mɔ na Petro wòge ɖe eme.
17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also [one] of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
Dɔlanyɔnuvi la bia Petro be, “Menye Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖekae nènye oa?” Petro ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Gbeɖe, menye eƒe nusrɔ̃la menye o.”
18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
Vuvɔ nɔ wɔwɔm, ale subɔlawo kple kpovitɔwo nɔ dzo ƒum be woƒe lãme naxɔ dzo. Ale Petro hã tsi tsitre ɖe wo gbɔ nɔ dzoa ƒum.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
Nunɔlagã la bia gbe Yesu tso eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kple eƒe nufiafia ŋu.
20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Meƒo nu le dutoƒo na xexea me. Mefia nu edziedzi le ƒuƒoƒewo kple gbedoxɔ la me, afi si Yudatɔwo katã ƒoa ƒu ɖo. Nyemegblɔ nya aɖeke le ɣaɣlaƒe o.
21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
Nu ka ta miele gbe biamem ɖo? Mibia gbe ame siwo se nye nyawo. Wose nya siwo megblɔ la.”
22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
Esi Yesu gblɔ nya sia la, asrafo siwo le Yesu ŋu dzɔm la dometɔ ɖeka ƒo tome nɛ hegblɔ be, “Nenema wòle be nàɖo nya ŋu na nunɔlagã lae?”
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne megblɔ nya vɔ̃ aɖe la, ekema tɔ asi nya vɔ̃ si megblɔ la dzi. Gake ne nyateƒe gblɔm mele la, nu ka ta nèƒom ɖo?”
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
Ale Yesu nɔ babla, eye Anas na wokplɔe yi na Kayafa, nunɔlagã la.
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied [it], and said, I am not.
Esi Simɔn Petro ganɔ dzoa ƒum la, ame bubu gabiae be, “Menye eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖekae nènye oa?” Petro gasẽ nu gblɔ be, “Gbeɖe, menye eƒe nusrɔ̃lae menye o.”
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being [his] kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
Nunɔlagã la ƒe dɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka si nye ame si ƒe to Petro kpa la ƒe ƒometɔ aɖe hã bia Petro be, “Menye wòe mekpɔ le abɔa me, nèle Yesu ŋu oa?”
27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
Ke Petro gasẽ nu be yemenya Yesu o, eye enumake, koklo ku atɔ.
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
Ale Yudatɔwo kplɔ Yesu tso Kayafa gbɔ yi ɖe Roma mɔmefia ƒe aƒe mee. Esi ŋu ke ta la, ame siwo kplɔ Yesu ɖo la gbe be yewomage ɖe aƒea me o, elabena womedi be yewoagblẽ kɔ ɖo na yewo ɖokuiwo o; wodi be yewoaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkeke la.
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
Ale Pilato, Roma mɔmefia la ŋutɔ do go va kpe wo, eye wòbia wo be, “Nya ka mietsɔ ɖe ame sia ŋu?”
30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɖe ame sia menye hlɔ̃dola o la, míele ekplɔ ge vɛ na wò o.”
31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
Pilato gblɔ be, “Mia ŋutɔwo, mikplɔe yii, eye miatsɔ miaƒe sewo adrɔ̃ ʋɔnui.” Yudatɔwo gaɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ŋusẽ mele mía si be míatso kufia na ame aɖeke o.”
32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
Esia dzɔ be nya siwo Yesu gblɔ ɖi tso ku si ƒomevi wòaku ŋu la nava eme.
33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
Pilato trɔ yi ɖe eƒe fiasã la me, eye wòna wokplɔ Yesu va egbɔe, eye wòbiae be, “Wòe nye Yudatɔwo ƒe fia la?”
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
Yesu biae be, “Wò ŋutɔ wò susu nu nèbia nya sia ɖo loo alo ame aɖee gblɔe na wòa?”
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
Pilato ɖo eŋu dɔmedzoetɔe be, “Yudatɔe menye hafi nèle nya sia biamem mahã? Wò ŋutɔ wò amewo kple miaƒe nunɔlagãwoe kplɔ wò va gbɔnyee? Nu ka nèwɔ? Agɔ ka nèdze?”
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nye fiaɖuƒe metso xexe sia me o. Ɖe nye fiaɖuƒe tso xexe sia me la, ne nye dɔlawo awɔ aʋa ɖe nunye be Yudatɔwo ƒe amegãwo malém o. Nye fiaɖuƒe tso teƒe bubu.”
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Pilato gabiae be, “Ekema fiae nenye nyateƒea?” Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Ègblɔ nyateƒe be fiae menye. Le nyateƒe me la, susu sia ta wodzim ɖo, eye esia tae meva xexea me ɖo, be maɖi ɖase tso nyateƒe la ŋu. Ame sia ame si xɔ nyateƒe la dzi se la ɖoa tom.”
38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [at all].
Pilato biae be, “Nu kae nye nyateƒe la?” Esi Pilato gblɔ nya sia la, egado go ɖagblɔ na Yudatɔwo be, “Nyemekpɔ fɔɖiɖi aɖeke le ame sia ŋu o.
39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
Gake enye míaƒe kɔnu be maɖe asi le gamenɔla ɖeka ŋuti na mi le Ŋutitotoŋkeke la dzi. Miedi be maɖe asi le ‘Yudatɔwo ƒe fia’ la ŋuti na mia?”
40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Ke ameawo do ɣli gblɔ be, “Gbeɖe, menye eya o! Ɖe asi le Barabas ŋu na mí!” Baraba sia nye adzodala aɖe si wode gaxɔ me la.
