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.
Yesu peamali kujova genago, akakupuka kamfuleni kekikemelewa Keduloni, pamonga na vawuliwa vaki. Pandu apo pavi na lidimba, Yesu akayingila pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Yuda, mweamng'anamukili Yesu, apamanyili pandu penapo, ndava Yesu ahambayi pamahele Yesu akonganiki na vawuliwa vaki kwenuko.
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.
Hinu, Yuda atoli msambi wa manjolinjoli va Chilumi na valonda va Nyumba ya Chapanga, kuhuma kwa vakulu va vateta na Vafalisayu, akabwela navu palidimba kuni vagegi hahi na lumuli na migoha na vibonga.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Yesu, kuni imanya gegakumkolela, akavahegelela, akavakota, “Mukumulonda yani?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
Vene vakamyangula, “Yesu Mnazaleti!” Yesu akavajovela, “Nene, ndi mwene.” Yuda mweakumung'anamukila yula ayimili bahapo pamonga navu.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Yesu peavajovili, “Nene ndi mwene.” Vakawuya mumbele vakagwa pahi.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Mwene akavakota kavili, “Mukumulonda yani?” Vakamyangula, “Yesu Mnazaleti!”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Yesu akavayangula, “Nimali kuvajovela kuvya mwene ndi nene, ndava mukunilonda nene muvaleka ava vahamba.”
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
Ajovili genago muni gatimilayi geajovili gala, “Dadi vala vewanipelili nakumyagisa hati mmonga.”
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.
Simoni Petili avi na upanga, ndi akauholomola, na kumdumula likutu la kulyela mtangatila wa Mteta Mkulu. Mtumisi mwenuyo liina laki Maluko.
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?”
Yesu akamyangula, Petili, “Wuyisa upanga muchihaku. Wu, chikombi cha mang'ahiso cheanipeli Dadi nikotoka kunywa?”
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
Msambi wa manjolinjoli va Chilumi pamonga na vakulu vavi, na valonda va Vayawudi vamkamwili Yesu, vakamkunga,
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
na kumupeleka hoti kwa Anasi, Anasi avi mkohanu wa Kayafa mweavi Mteta Mkulu mwaka wenuwo.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Kayafa ndi yula mweavajovili vachilongosi va Vayawudi kuvya mbanga mundu mmonga afwayi ndava ya vandu.
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;
Simoni Petili pamonga na muwuliwa yungi vamlandili Yesu. Muwuliwa mwenuyo amanyikini kwa Mteta Mkulu, akayingila pamonga na Yesu mu luvanja lwa Mteta Mkulu.
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.
Nambu Petili ayimili kuvala ya mlyangu. Yula muwuliwa yungi, mweamanyikini kwa mteta mkulu, akahuma kuvala na kujova na msikana mlonda wa mlyangu, akamyingisa Petili mugati.
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.”
Msikana mlonda wa mlyangu, akamkota Petili, “Wu, na veve mmonga wa vawuliwa va mundu uyu?” Petili akamjovela, “Nene lepi!”
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.
Vatumisi na valonda vayota motu ndava kwavi na mbepu. Petili namwene ayimili na vayaki kuyota motu.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
Mteta mkulu akamkota Yesu kumvala mawuliwu gaki pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
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.
Yesu akamyangula, “Nijovili na kila mundu hotohoto ligono kwa ligono. Magono goha navawulili munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, pandu pevikonganeka Vayawudi voha, na nakujova chamfiyu.
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.”
Ndava kyani ukunikota nene? Uvakota vala vevayuwini navajovili kyani. Vene vimanya chenavajovili.”
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?”
Peamali kujova genago mlonda mmonga mweayimili papipi, akampamanda Yesu, akamjovela, “Wu, ndi chaukumyangula Mteta Mkulu?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Yesu akamyangula, “Ngati nijovili uhakau langisa uhakau wene, nambu ngati nijovili chakaka, ndava kyani ukunitova?”
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Hinu, Anasi ampeliki Yesu kwa Kayafa kuni akungiwi, mweavi mteta mkulu.
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.”
Simoni Petili ayimili penapo kuyota motu. Hinu vakamkota, “Wu, veve mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki?” Mwene akabela na kujova, “Nene lepi!”
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?”
Mmonga wa vatumisi wa Mteta Mkulu, muyaki yula mweadumuliwi likutu na Petili, akamkota “Wu, nene nakuwene lepi veve kulidimba pamonga naku?”
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Kangi Petili akabela kavili, bahapo lijogolo likavika.
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.
Kangi vakamtola Yesu kuhuma kwa Kayafa, vampeliki kunyumba ya chinkosi. Yavi hamba kucha, muni vanyambasika palongolo ya Chapanga. Vahotola kulya Pasaka vene vayingili lepi munyumba ya chilongosi wa Loma vakotoka kuhakaswa.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Pilatu avahumila chakuvala, akavakota, “Lijambu loki lemukumtakila mundu uyu?”
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
Vakamyangula, “Ngati mwenuyu kuvya abudili lepi ngatimletili lepi kwaku.”
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,”
Pilatu akavajovela, “Ena, mumtola mumuhamula mwavene, kulandana na malagizu ginu.” Vayawudi vakamyangula, “Tete tivii lepi na uhotola wa kumuhamula mundu yoyoha afwayi.”
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Yakitiki ago gatimilayi malovi geajovili Yesu kulangisa yati ifwa namuna yoki.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Pilatu akayingila kavili munyumba yaki, akamkemela Yesu na kumkota. “Ati veve ndi Nkosi wa Vayawudi?”
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Yesu akamyangula, “Wu, genago maholo gaku amala vandu vangi vakujovili kunivala nene?”
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?”
Pilatu akayangula, “Mwe! Myawudi nene? Vandu vaku na vakulu va kuteta vakuletili kwa nene. Uhengili kyani?”
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.”
Yesu akayangula, “Unkosi wangu lepi wa mulima uwu. Ngati kuvya unkosi wangu wa mulima wenuwu, vandu vevamlanda Yesu ngavanikengelili, vachilongosi va Vayawudi ngavanikamwili lepi. Nambu hinu unkosi wangu lepi wa penapa.”
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.”
Pilatu akamjovela, “Hinu veve ndi Nkosi?” Yesu akayangula, “Veve ndi ujova kuvya nene ndi Nkosi. Ndava yeniyo nene nivelikiwi na nibweli pamulima kuvajovela vandu uchakaka. Mundu yeyoha wa uchaka akuniyuwanila.”
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.
Pilatu akamkota, “Uchakaka ndi chindu kiki?” Pilatu peamali kujova ago, akavahambila kavili vachilongosi va Chiyawudi kuvala, “Akavajovela nene nichiwene lepi chindu cheabudili.
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?”
Nambu ndi mvelu winu nene kuvadindulila, muchifungu mundu mmonga lukumbi lwa Pasaka. Hinu mwigana nivadindulila Nkosi wa Vayawudi?”
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Penapo vakayangula. “Mwe! Lepi mwenuyo mdindulila Balaba!” Balaba avi mundu mweinyaga vandu vindu.
