< 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.
tAH kathAH kathayitvA yIshuH shiShyAnAdAya kidronnAmakaM srota uttIryya shiShyaiH saha tatratyodyAnaM prAvishat|
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
kintu vishvAsaghAtiyihUdAstat sthAnaM parichIyate yato yIshuH shiShyaiH sArddhaM kadAchit tat sthAnam agachChat|
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.
tadA sa yihUdAH sainyagaNaM pradhAnayAjakAnAM phirUshinA ncha padAtigaNa ncha gR^ihItvA pradIpAn ulkAn astrANi chAdAya tasmin sthAna upasthitavAn|
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
svaM prati yad ghaTiShyate taj j nAtvA yIshuragresaraH san tAnapR^ichChat kaM gaveShayatha?
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
te pratyavadan, nAsaratIyaM yIshuM; tato yIshuravAdId ahameva saH; taiH saha vishvAsaghAtI yihUdAshchAtiShThat|
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
tadAhameva sa tasyaitAM kathAM shrutvaiva te pashchAdetya bhUmau patitAH|
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
tato yIshuH punarapi pR^iShThavAn kaM gaveShayatha? tataste pratyavadan nAsaratIyaM yIshuM|
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
tadA yIshuH pratyuditavAn ahameva sa imAM kathAmachakatham; yadi mAmanvichChatha tarhImAn gantuM mA vArayata|
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
itthaM bhUte mahyaM yAllokAn adadAsteShAm ekamapi nAhArayam imAM yAM kathAM sa svayamakathayat sA kathA saphalA jAtA|
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.
tadA shimonpitarasya nikaTe kha NgalsthiteH sa taM niShkoShaM kR^itvA mahAyAjakasya mAlkhanAmAnaM dAsam Ahatya tasya dakShiNakarNaM ChinnavAn|
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?”
tato yIshuH pitaram avadat, kha NgaM koShe sthApaya mama pitA mahyaM pAtuM yaM kaMsam adadAt tenAhaM kiM na pAsyAmi?
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
tadA sainyagaNaH senApati ryihUdIyAnAM padAtayashcha yIshuM ghR^itvA baddhvA hAnannAmnaH kiyaphAH shvashurasya samIpaM prathamam anayan|
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
sa kiyaphAstasmin vatsare mahAyAjatvapade niyuktaH
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
san sAdhAraNalokAnAM ma NgalArtham ekajanasya maraNamuchitam iti yihUdIyaiH sArddham amantrayat|
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;
tadA shimonpitaro. anyaikashiShyashcha yIshoH pashchAd agachChatAM tasyAnyashiShyasya mahAyAjakena parichitatvAt sa yIshunA saha mahAyAjakasyATTAlikAM prAvishat|
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.
kintu pitaro bahirdvArasya samIpe. atiShThad ataeva mahAyAjakena parichitaH sa shiShyaH punarbahirgatvA dauvAyikAyai kathayitvA pitaram abhyantaram Anayat|
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.”
tadA sa dvArarakShikA pitaram avadat tvaM kiM na tasya mAnavasya shiShyaH? tataH sovadad ahaM na bhavAmi|
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.
tataH paraM yatsthAne dAsAH padAtayashcha shItahetora NgArai rvahniM prajvAlya tApaM sevitavantastatsthAne pitarastiShThan taiH saha vahnitApaM sevitum Arabhata|
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
tadA shiShyeShUpadeshe cha mahAyAjakena yIshuH pR^iShTaH
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.
san pratyuktavAn sarvvalokAnAM samakShaM kathAmakathayaM guptaM kAmapi kathAM na kathayitvA yat sthAnaM yihUdIyAH satataM gachChanti tatra bhajanagehe mandire chAshikShayaM|
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.”
mattaH kutaH pR^ichChasi? ye janA madupadesham ashR^iNvan tAneva pR^ichCha yadyad avadaM te tat jAninta|
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?”
tadetthaM pratyuditatvAt nikaTasthapadAti ryIshuM chapeTenAhatya vyAharat mahAyAjakam evaM prativadasi?
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
tato yIshuH pratigaditavAn yadyayathArtham achakathaM tarhi tasyAyathArthasya pramANaM dehi, kintu yadi yathArthaM tarhi kuto heto rmAm atADayaH?
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
pUrvvaM hAnan sabandhanaM taM kiyaphAmahAyAjakasya samIpaM praiShayat|
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.”
shimonpitarastiShThan vahnitApaM sevate, etasmin samaye kiyantastam apR^ichChan tvaM kim etasya janasya shiShyo na? tataH sopahnutyAbravId ahaM na bhavAmi|
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?”
tadA mahAyAjakasya yasya dAsasya pitaraH karNamachChinat tasya kuTumbaH pratyuditavAn udyAne tena saha tiShThantaM tvAM kiM nApashyaM?
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
kintu pitaraH punarapahnutya kathitavAn; tadAnIM kukkuTo. araut|
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.
tadanantaraM pratyUShe te kiyaphAgR^ihAd adhipate rgR^ihaM yIshum anayan kintu yasmin ashuchitve jAte tai rnistArotsave na bhoktavyaM, tasya bhayAd yihUdIyAstadgR^ihaM nAvishan|
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
aparaM pIlAto bahirAgatya tAn pR^iShThavAn etasya manuShyasya kaM doShaM vadatha?
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
tadA te petyavadan duShkarmmakAriNi na sati bhavataH samIpe nainaM samArpayiShyAmaH|
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,”
tataH pIlAto. avadad yUyamenaM gR^ihItvA sveShAM vyavasthayA vichArayata| tadA yihUdIyAH pratyavadan kasyApi manuShyasya prANadaNDaM karttuM nAsmAkam adhikAro. asti|
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
evaM sati yIshuH svasya mR^ityau yAM kathAM kathitavAn sA saphalAbhavat|
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
tadanantaraM pIlAtaH punarapi tad rAjagR^ihaM gatvA yIshumAhUya pR^iShTavAn tvaM kiM yihUdIyAnAM rAjA?
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
yIshuH pratyavadat tvam etAM kathAM svataH kathayasi kimanyaH kashchin mayi kathitavAn?
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?”
pIlAto. avadad ahaM kiM yihUdIyaH? tava svadeshIyA visheShataH pradhAnayAjakA mama nikaTe tvAM samArpayana, tvaM kiM kR^itavAn?
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.”
yIshuH pratyavadat mama rAjyam etajjagatsambandhIyaM na bhavati yadi mama rAjyaM jagatsambandhIyam abhaviShyat tarhi yihUdIyAnAM hasteShu yathA samarpito nAbhavaM tadarthaM mama sevakA ayotsyan kintu mama rAjyam aihikaM na|
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.”
tadA pIlAtaH kathitavAn, tarhi tvaM rAjA bhavasi? yIshuH pratyuktavAn tvaM satyaM kathayasi, rAjAhaM bhavAmi; satyatAyAM sAkShyaM dAtuM janiM gR^ihItvA jagatyasmin avatIrNavAn, tasmAt satyadharmmapakShapAtino mama kathAM shR^iNvanti|
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.
tadA satyaM kiM? etAM kathAM paShTvA pIlAtaH punarapi bahirgatvA yihUdIyAn abhAShata, ahaM tasya kamapyaparAdhaM na prApnomi|
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?”
nistArotsavasamaye yuShmAbhirabhiruchita eko jano mayA mochayitavya eShA yuShmAkaM rItirasti, ataeva yuShmAkaM nikaTe yihUdIyAnAM rAjAnaM kiM mochayAmi, yuShmAkam ichChA kA?
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
tadA te sarvve ruvanto vyAharan enaM mAnuShaM nahi barabbAM mochaya| kintu sa barabbA dasyurAsIt|
