Jan 18
1 Lè Jezi fin pale konsa, li pati avèk disip li yo, li al lòt bò ti ravin Sedwon an. Te gen yon jaden la. Jezi antre nan jaden an avèk disip li yo.
When Jesus had said this, he went out with his disciples and crossed the Kidron ravine to a place where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples went.
2 Jida, nonm ki te gen pou trayi l' la, te konnen ti kote sa a tou paske Jezi te konn vin la anpil fwa ak disip li yo.
The place was well known to Judas, the betrayer, for Jesus and his disciples had often met there.
3 Se konsa, Jida al nan jaden an. Li te gen yon kolonn sòlda ansanm ak kèk gad avè li. Se chèf prèt yo ak gwoup farizyen yo ki te voye yo avè li. Yo tout te gen zam, yo t'ap pote fannal ak gwo chandèl tou limen.
So Judas, who had obtained the soldiers of the Roman garrison, and some guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Jezi menm ki te konnen sa ki te pou rive l' la, mache sou yo, li mande yo: Ki moun n'ap chache?
Jesus, aware of all that was coming upon him, went to meet them, and said to them, ‘For whom are you looking?’
5 Yo reponn li: Jezi, nonm Nazarèt la. Jezi di yo: Se mwen. Jida, nonm ki t'ap trayi l' la, te la avèk yo.
‘Jesus of Nazareth,’ was their answer. ‘I am he,’ said Jesus. (Judas, the betrayer, was also standing with them.)
6 Lè Jezi di yo: Se mwen, yo renka kò yo dèyè, yo tonbe atè.
When Jesus said “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Lè sa a, Jezi mande yo ankò: Ki moun n'ap chache? Yo di l': Jezi, nonm Nazarèt la.
So he again asked for whom they were looking, and they answered, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’
8 Jezi reponn yo: Mwen pa deja di nou se mwen menm. Si se mwen n'ap chache, kite lòt mesye sa yo al fè wout yo.
‘I have already told you that I am he,’ replied Jesus, ‘so, if it is for me that you are looking, let these people go.’
9 Se konsa pawòl li te di a rive vre: Nan tout moun ou te ban mwen yo, Papa, yonn menm pa pèdi.
This was in fulfilment of his words – “Of those whom you have given me I have not lost one.”
10 Simon Pyè te gen yon nepe sou li, li rale l', li frape domestik granprèt la, li sote zòrèy dwat li. (Yo te rele domestik la Malkis.)
At this, Simon Peter, who had a sword with him, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Men, Jezi di Pyè konsa: Mete nepe ou la nan djenn li. Eske se pa pou m' bwè gode soufrans Papa a ban m' bwè a?
But Jesus said to Peter, ‘Sheathe your sword. Should I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?’
12 Kolonn sòlda yo, kòmandan an ansanm ak gad jwif yo mete men sou Jezi, yo mare li.
So the soldiers of the garrison, with their commanding officer and the Jewish guards, arrested Jesus and bound him,
13 Premye kote yo mennen l', se kay An. An te bòpè Kayif ki te granprèt pou lanne a.
and took him first of all to Annas. Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Se Kayif sa a ki te bay jwif yo konsèy sa a: Li pi bon pou nou si yon sèl moun mouri pou tout pèp la!
It was Caiaphas who had counselled the religious authorities, that it was best that one person should die for the people.
15 Simon Pyè te swiv Jezi ansanm ak yon lòt disip. Disip sa a te yon konesans granprèt la. Se konsa li te antre anmenmtan ak Jezi nan lakou granprèt la.
Meanwhile Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. That disciple, being well-known to the high priest, went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,
16 Pyè menm te rete deyò, bò pòt la. Lè sa a, lòt disip la, ki te yon konesans granprèt la, soti deyò, li pale ak fanm ki t'ap veye pòt la, li fè Pyè antre.
while Peter stood outside by the door. Presently the other disciple – the one well-known to the high priest – went out and spoke to the portress, and brought Peter in.
17 Sèvant ki t'ap veye pòt la di Pyè konsa: Ou menm tou, ou se yonn nan disip nonm sa a. Pyè reponn li: Non. Mwen pa disip nonm sa a.
So the maidservant said to Peter, ‘Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?’ ‘No, I am not,’ he said.
18 Domestik yo ak gad yo te limen dife, yo tout te kanpe bò dife a, yo t'ap chofe kò yo paske te fè frèt. Pyè te kanpe la avèk yo, li t'ap chofe kò l' tou.
The servants and guards were standing round a charcoal fire (which they had made because it was cold), and were warming themselves. Peter, too, was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Granprèt la poze Jezi keksyon sou disip li yo ak sou sa l' t'ap moutre yo.
The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 Jezi reponn li: Mwen te pale an piblik pou tout moun tande. Se nan sinagòg yo ak nan tanp lan, kote tout jwif yo sanble, se la mwen toujou moutre sa pou m' te moutre a. Mwen pa janm di anyen an kachèt.
‘For my part,’ answered Jesus, ‘I have spoken to all the world openly. I always taught in some synagogue, or in the Temple Courts, places where everyone assembles, and I never spoke of anything in secret.
21 Poukisa w'ap keksyonnen m' konsa? Mande moun ki te tande m' yo sa m' te di yo. Yo menm yo konnen sa m' te di.
Why question me? Question those who have listened to me as to what I have spoken about to them. They must know what I said.’
22 Antan Jezi t'ap di pawòl sa yo, yon gad ki te kanpe la bò kote l' ba l' yon souflèt. Li di li: Se konsa w'ap reponn granprèt la?
When Jesus said this, one of the guards, who was standing near, gave him a blow with his hand. ‘Do you answer the high priest like that?’ he exclaimed.
23 Jezi reponn li: Si m' pale mal, moutre moun yo sa m' di ki mal la a. Men, si m' pale byen, poukisa ou frape mwen?
‘If I said anything wrong, give evidence about it,’ replied Jesus, ‘but if not, why do you strike me?’
24 Apre sa, An voye Jezi tou mare ale lakay Kayif, granprèt la.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Pandan tout tan sa a, Simon Pyè te kanpe la ap chofe dife. Yo di li: Ou menm tou, ou se yon disip nonm sa a. Men, Pyè demanti sa, li di: Non. Mwen pa disip nonm sa a.
Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing there, warming himself; so they said to him, ‘Aren’t you also one of his disciples?’ Peter denied it. ‘No, I am not,’ he said.
26 Yonn nan domestik granprèt la ki te fanmi nonm Pyè te koupe zòrèy la, di konsa: Eske mwen pa t' wè ou nan jaden an avè li?
One of the high priest’s servants, a relation of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, exclaimed, ‘Didn’t I myself see you with him in the garden?’
27 Pyè di ankò se pa vre. Lamenm yon kòk chante.
Peter again denied it; and at that moment a cock crowed.
28 Apre sa, soti kay Kayif, yo mennen Jezi nan palè Gouvènè a. Se te granmtimaten. Men, jwif yo pa t' antre nan palè a. Yo pa t' vle mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou yo pa ka fè sèvis Bondye yo. Sa ta ka anpeche yo manje manje Delivrans lan.
From Caiaphas they took Jesus to the Government house. It was early in the morning. But they did not enter the Government house themselves, otherwise they might become defiled, and so be unable to eat the Passover.
29 Se poutèt sa, Pilat, gouvènè a, te blije soti vin jwenn yo deyò a. Li mande yo: Kisa nou di nonm sa a fè?
Therefore Pilate came outside to speak to them. ‘What charge do you bring against this man?’ he asked.
30 Yo reponn li: Si nonm sa a pa t' yon malfektè, nou pa ta mennen l' ba ou.
‘If he had not been a criminal, we should not have given him up to you,’ they answered.
31 Pilat di yo: Poukisa nou pa pran l' nou menm, pou nou jije l' dapre lalwa nou? Jwif yo reponn li: Nou pa gen dwa touye pesonn.
‘Take him yourselves,’ said Pilate, ‘and try him by your own Law.’ ‘We have no power to put anyone to death,’ the authorities replied –
32 Se konsa pawòl Jezi te di lè l' t'ap fè konnen jan l' tapral mouri a, tapral rive vre.
in fulfilment of what Jesus had said when indicating the death that he was destined to die.
33 Lè sa a, Pilat antre nan palè a, li rele Jezi, li mande li: Eske se wa jwif yo ou ye?
After that, Pilate went into the Government house again, and calling Jesus up, asked him, ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’
34 Jezi reponn li: Eske ou di sa paske ou fè lide sa a ou menm, osinon èske se lòt moun ki di ou sa?
‘Do you ask me that yourself?’ replied Jesus, ‘or did others say it to you about me?’
35 Pilat reponn li: Eske se jwif mwen ye, mwen menm? Se pwòp moun peyi ou ansanm ak chèf prèt yo ki mennen ou ban mwen? Kisa ou fè?
‘Do you take me for a Jew?’ was Pilate’s answer. ‘It is your own nation and the chief priests who have given you up to me. What have you done?’
36 Jezi reponn: Nan peyi kote m' wa a, se pa tankou peyi ki sou latè. Si gouvènman peyi kote m' wa a te tankou gouvènman peyi ki sou latè, sèvitè m' yo ta goumen pou mwen. Yo pa ta kite m' tonbe nan men jwif yo. Non. Nan peyi kote m' wa a, se pa tankou peyi ki sou latè.
‘My kingly power,’ replied Jesus, ‘is not due to this world. If it had been so, my servants would be doing their utmost to prevent my being given up to the authorities; but my kingly power is not from the world.’
37 Lè sa a, Pilat di li: Si se konsa, ou se wa vre? Jezi reponn li: Se ou ki di li. Wi, se wa mwen ye. Mwen fèt pou m' di verite a jan li ye a. Wi, se pou sa menm mwen vin sou latè. Tout moun ki patizan laverite ap koute vwa mwen.
‘So you are a king after all!’ exclaimed Pilate. ‘Yes, it is true I am a king,’ answered Jesus. ‘I was born for this, I have come into the world for this – to bear testimony to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to my voice.’
38 Pilat reponn li: Laverite? Kisa l' ye? Lè l' fin di sa, Pilat soti ankò, li al jwenn jwif yo. Li di yo: Mwen pa wè rezon pou m' kondannen nonm sa a.
‘What is truth?’ exclaimed Pilate. After saying this, he went out to the crowd again, and said, ‘For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.
39 Dapre koutim nou genyen, mwen toujou lage yon prizonye pou fèt Delivrans lan ban nou. Eske nou ta vle m' lage wa jwif yo ban nou?
It is, however, the custom for me to grant you the release of one man at the Passover Festival. Do you wish for the release of the king of the Jews?’
40 Lè sa a, yo tout pran rele: Non. Nou pa vle li. Se Barabas nou vle! Barabas sa a te yon bandi.
‘No, not this man,’ they shouted again, ‘but Barabbas!’ This Barabbas was a robber.
