John 18
1 When Jesus 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.
Jesuh loh hekah he a thui phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek neh Kidron sok rhalvangan la cet. Teah te dum pakhat om tih a hnukbang rhoek te a khuila a kun puei.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Tekah hmuen ah a hnukbang rhoek neh Jesuh a humtun uh taitu dongah amah aka voei Judas long khaw a hmuen te a ming.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Te dongah Judas loh caem a khuen hatah khosoihham neh Pharisee rhoek kah tueihyoeih rhoek long khaw hmaiim, hmaithoi, pumcumnah neh ha pawk uh.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jesuh loh amah soah aka lo boeih te a ming dongah amih taengla cet tih, “Ulae na toem uh?” a ti nah.
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Amah te, “Nazareth Jesuh,” a ti nauh. Amih te khaw, “Kai ni he,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amah aka voei Judas khaw amih taengah pai.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Te dongah amih te, “Kai ni,” a ti nah vaengah a hnuk la nong uh tih lai la bung uh.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Te dongah amih te, “Ulae na toem uh,” tila koep a dawt. Te vaengah, “Nazareth Jesuh,” a ti uh.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Jesuh loh, “Kai ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Te dongah kai ni nan toem uh atah hekah rhoek he hlah uh lamtah nong saeh,” a ti nah.
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
Te daengah ni, “Amih te kai nan paek coeng dongah amih khuikah pakhat khaw ka hlong moenih,” tila a thui olka te soep eh.
10 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.
Te vaengah Simon Peter loh a khueh cunghang te a yueh tih khosoihham kah sal te a boeng tih bantang hna te a hlueng pah Sal te a ming Malkhu ni.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
Tedae Jesuh loh Peter te, “Cunghang te capang khuila sang laeh. A pa loh kai m'paek boengloeng te ka o mahpawt nim,” a ti nah.
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
Te vaengah caem, rhalboeipa neh Judah rhoek kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh Jesuh te a tuuk uh tih a khih uh phoeiah Annas taengah lamhma la a khuen uh.
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Anih te te vaeng kum kah khosoihham la aka om Kaiaphas kah a masae la om.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Te vaengah aka om Kaiaphas loh, “Hlang pakhat loh pilnam ham a duek te rhoei ngai, “tila Judah rhoek te a uen.
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
Te vaengah Jesuh te Simon Peter neh hnukbang pakhat loh a vai. Tekah hnukbang te khaw khosoihham aka hmat la a om dongah Jesuh taengah khosoihham kah vongup la kun.
16 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.
Tedae Peter tah thohka ah hoei pai. Te dongah khosoihham aka hmat hnukbang pakhat te cet tih imtawt nu te a voek phoeiah Peter te a khuen.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
Te dongah imtawt salnu loh Peter te, “Nang khaw hekah hlang kah hnukbang khuiah na om pawt nim?” a ti nah. Anih loh, “Ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
18 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.
Te vaengkah aka pai sal rhoek neh tueihyoeih rhoek loh khosik la a om dongah hmai a toih tih a om uh. Peter khaw om van tih amih aka pai rhoek taengah hmai a om.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Te vaengah khosoihham loh Jesuh te a hnukbang kawng neh a thuituennah kawng te a dawt.
20 Jesus 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.
Jesuh loh, “Kai loh Diklai taengah sayalh la ka thui coeng. Judah rhoek boeih a tingtun nah tunim neh bawkim ah ka thuituen taitu tih a huephael la ka thui moenih.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
Balae tih kai nan dawt? Ka thui te aka ya amih taengah dawt. Kai loh ka thui te amih loh a ming uh lahko,” a ti nah.
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
Tedae hekah he a thui vaengah aka pai tueihyoeih pakhat loh Jesuh te kutcaihnah la a khueh tih, “Khosoihham te na voek van pueng,” a ti nah.
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Jesuh loh anih te, A thae la ka cal atah a thae te han thui. Tedae a thuem atah balae tih kai nan boh,” a ti nah.
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Te phoeiah Annas loh Jesuh te a khih tih khosoihham Kaiaphas taengla a thak.
25 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.”
Te vaengah aka om Simon Peter khaw pai tih hmai a om. Te dongah anih te, “Nang khaw anih hnukbang rhoek khuikah la na om pawt nim? a ti nauh. Tedae anih te basa tih, “Ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
26 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?”
Khosoihham kah sal rhoek khuikah pakhat Peter loh a hna a hlueng pah te a huiko la om loh, “Kai loh anih neh nang te dum ah kan hmuh moenih a?” a ti nah.
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Tedae Peter koep a basa vaengah ai pahoi khong.
28 They led Jesus 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.
Te phoeiah Jesuh te Kaiaphas taeng lamloh khoboeiyung la a khuen uh. Tedae a yue aih pueng dongah amih te khoboeiyung la kun uh pawh. Te daengah ni boi uh pawt vetih yoom te a vael mong eh.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Te dongah Pilat te poengla cet tih amih te, “Hekah hlang soah ba lai lae na pael uh,” a ti nah.
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
Te vaengah anih a doo uh, “Anih loh a thae la a saii te om pawt koinih nang taengla anih kan thak uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
Te dongah Pilat loh amih te, “Anih te namamih loh khuen uh lamtah namamih kah olkhueng bangla laitloek uh,” a ti nah. Judah rhoek loh, “Kaimih n'ngawn sak loengloeng moenih,” a ti uh.
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Te daengah ni Jesuh kah olka loh, 'Duek ham cai tih dueknah te a phoe,’ a ti te a soep eh.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Te phoeiah Pilat te khoboeiyung la koep kun tih Jesuh te a khue phoeiah, “Nang he Judah manghaila na om a?” a ti nah.
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Jesuh loh, “Hekah he nang loh namah lamkah nim na thui? A tloe rhoek loh nang taengah kai kawng han thui a?” a ti nah.
35 Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
Pilat loh, “Kai he Judah hlang la ka om ngawn pawh. Balae na saii tih na namtu neh khosoihham rhoek loh kai taengla nang n'thak?” a ti nah.
36 Jesus 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 Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
Jesuh loh, “Kai kah ram tah he Diklai kah ram la om pawh. Kai kah ram tah he Diklai kah ram la om koinih Judah rhoek te kai m' voeih pawt ham ka tueihyoeih rhoek loh a hnueih uh ni. Tedae kai kah ram te heah om pawh,” a ti nah.
37 Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus 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.”
Te dongah Pilat loh, “Te koinih nang manghai la na om a?” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Manghai la ka om te namah long ni na thui. Oltak phong ham kai ka thaang tih he ham ni Diklai la ka pawk. Oltak kah hlang la aka om boeih loh kai ol a hnatun,” a ti nah.
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
Pilat loh, “Oltak te ba lae?” a ti nah. Hekah he a thui phoeiah Judah rhoek taengla koep cet tih amamih te, “Anih dongah paelnaehnah ka hmuh moenih.
39 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?”
Tedae yoom ah nangmih taengkah pakhat ka hlah ham namamih khosing om. Te dongah Judah manghai te hlah ham nangmih na ngaih uh a?” a ti nah.
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Te dongah koep pang uh tih, “Anih moenih Barabbas te,” a ti uh. Te vaengah Barabbas tah dingca la om.
