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.
Tukun Jesus el pre tari, el wi mwet tumal lutlut illa, ac som tupalla Infacl Srisrik Kidron. Oasr ima se in acn sac, ac Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos utyak nu we.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Judas, el su ac tukakunulak Jesus, el etu acn sac, mweyen pus pacl Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos tukeni we.
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.
Ouinge Judas el som nu in ima sac, ac pwen sie un mwet mweun lun acn Rome welul, oayapa kutu mwet soan ke Tempul ma supweyukla sin mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee. Elos us mwe mweun, lam ac kahp welulos.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jesus el etu na ma nukewa ma ac sikyak nu sel, ouinge el kalukyang nu yorolos ac siyuk selos, “Su kowos suk an?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Elos topuk, “Jesus lun Nazareth.” El fahk, “Nga pa el.” Judas el wi tu inmasrlon un mwet sac.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Ke Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Nga pa el,” elos kohloli ac topla nu infohk ah.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Jesus el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Su kowos suk an?” Ac elos fahk, “Jesus lun Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk tari nu suwos lah nga pa el. Fin nga pa kowos suk an, fuhlela mwet inge in som.” (
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
El fahk ouinge tuh in akpwayeiyuk kas se el tuh fahk meet: “Papa, tia sie selos su kom ase nu sik tuhlac likiyu.”)
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.
Oasr cutlass se yorol Simon Peter, na el faesak ac sang paki sie sin mwet kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat, ac wotela sracl layen layot. Inen mwet kulansap sac pa Malchus.
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?”
Jesus el fahk nu sel Peter, “Isongya cutlass nutum an nu ke ma nukumyen! Mea, kom nunku mu nga ac tia nim ke cup in keok se ma Papa El se nu sik uh?”
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
Toko mwet mweun Rome ac captain lalos, wi mwet soan lun mwet Jew, elos sruokilya Jesus ac kaprilya,
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
ac kololla meet nu yorol Annas. Annas pa papa tumun mutan kial Caiaphas, su Mwet Tol Fulat ke yac sac.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Caiaphas pa tuh sang kas in kasru nu sin mwet fulat lun mwet Jew mu, ac fal tuh mwet sefanna in misa ke mwet nukewa.
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;
Simon Peter ac sie pac mwet lutlut eltal fahsr tokol Jesus. Mwet lutlut se saya ah eteyuk sin Mwet Tol Fulat, ouinge el welul Jesus utyak na nwe ke inkul lun Mwet Tol Fulat,
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.
a Peter el mutana likin kalkal ah sisken mutunpot ah. Na mwet lutlut se ngia el tufoki ac kaskas nu sin mutan kulansap se su karingin mutunpot uh, ac pwanulak Peter nu in kalkal ah.
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.”
Mutan sac fahk nu sel Peter, “Ku kom tia sie sin mwet lutlut lun mwet sacn?” Peter el topuk, “Mo, tia nga.”
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.
Mwet kulansap ac mwet topang elos tanak tari sie e ke mulut ke sripen arulana ohu, ac elos tu raunela ac langlung kac. Na Peter el welulosyang tu langlung.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Mwet Tol Fulat el lolngok sin Jesus ke mwet tumal lutlut ac ke luti lal ah.
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.
Ac Jesus el fahk, “Pacl nukewa nga kaskas lemtulauk nu sin mwet uh. Luti luk nukewa orek in iwen lolngok ac in Tempul, yen mwet nukewa tukeni we. Wangin kutena ma nga fahk in lukma.
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.”
Na efu kom ku kusen siyuk sik? Siyuk sin mwet ma lohngyu ah lah mea nga fahk nu selos. Elos etu ma nga fahk.”
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?”
Ke Jesus el fahk ma inge, sie sin mwet soan su tu we puokya likintupal ac fahk, “Kom ku kaskas angan nu sin Mwet Tol Fulat!”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Fin oasr ma nga fahk tuh sufal, akkalemye nu sesr nukewa. A fin pwaye ma nga fahk uh, efu kom ku puokyu?”
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Jesus el srakna kapir ke Annas el supwalla nu yorol Caiaphas, Mwet Tol Fulat.
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.”
Peter el srakna tu langlung insac, na kutu sin mwet uh fahk nu sel, “Ku tia kom pa sie sin mwet lutlut lun mwet sacn?” A Peter el sifil lafu ac fahk, “Mo, tia nga.”
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?”
Sie sin mwet kulansap lun Mwet Tol Fulat, su sou lun mwet se ma Peter el pakela insrac ah, el kasla ac fahk, “Kom pa nga liye welul Jesus in ima sac — pwaye?”
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Peter el sifilpa fahk, “Mo” — na in pacl sacna, won se kahkla.
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.
Toang na in lotu sac, utukla Jesus liki lohm sel Caiaphas nu inkul fulat sel governor. Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew uh elos tuh tia wi utyak nu inkul fulat sac ke sripen elos tia lungse akfohkfokyalos, elos in mau ku in mongo ke Kufwen Alukela.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Ouinge Pilate el ilme nu yorolos ac siyuk, “Mea kowos tukakin mwet se inge kac uh?”
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
Top lalos nu sel pa, “El funu tia orala sie ma koluk lulap, kut lukun tia usalu nu yurum.”
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,”
Pilate el fahk nu selos, “Fin angan, kowos sifacna usal ac nununkal fal nu ke ma sap lowos an.” Elos topuk ac fahk, “Ma sap lowos, mwet Rome, tia lela nu sesr in wotela sie mwet in anwuki.” (
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Ma inge sikyak in akpwayei ma Jesus el fahk ke el fahkak luman misa ma el ac misa kac.)
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Pilate el sifil utyak nu in lohm sel ac sap in utuku Jesus nu yorol, na el siyuk sel, “Ya kom pa tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Jesus el topuk, “Ya ma na kom sifacna siyuk, ku mwet pa fahk nu sum keik?”
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?”
Pilate el topkol ac fahk, “Ya kom nunku mu nga sie mwet Jew? Mwet lom sifacna ac mwet tol fulat pa eiskomme nu sik. Mea kom orala uh?”
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.”
Jesus el fahk, “Tokosrai luk uh tia ma lun facl se inge. Funu ma lun faclu, mwet ma fahsr tukuk lukun anwuk in taranyu liki poun mwet fulat lun mwet Jew. Mo. Tokosrai luk tia ma faclu!”
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.”
Ke ma inge Pilate el siyuk sel, “Fin angan, ya tokosra se pa kom?” Jesus el topuk, “Kom pa fahk mu tokosra se pa nga uh. Nga isusla ac tuku nu faclu ke na sripa se inge: in kaskas ke ma pwaye. Kutena mwet su ma lun ma pwaye elos porongeyu.”
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.
Pilate el siyuk, “Ac mea ma pwaye?” Na Pilate el sifil illa nu yurin mwet uh ac fahk nu selos, “Nga tia ku in konauk kutena ma koluk lun mwet se inge.
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?”
Tusruktu in fal nu ke oakwuk uh, yac nukewa ke pacl in Kufwen Alukela nga muta aksukosokyela sie mwet kapir nu suwos. Kowos lungse nga in aksukosokyela tokosra lun mwet Jew?”
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Mo, tia el! Kut lungse Barabbas!” (Barabbas el sie mwet pisrapasr sulallal.)
