Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 18
1 To sacījis Jēzus izgāja ar Saviem mācekļiem pār Kidronas upi; tur bija dārzs, kurā Viņš un Viņa mācekļi iegāja.
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 Bet arī Jūdas, kas Viņu nodeva, zināja to vietu; jo Jēzus dažu reiz tur bija sapulcējies ar Saviem mācekļiem.
The place was well known to Judas, the betrayer, for Jesus and his disciples had often met there.
3 Tad Jūdas, karavīru pulku ņēmis pie sevis un sulaiņus no tiem augstiem priesteriem un farizejiem, tur nonāk ar lāpām, eļļas svecēm un kara ieročiem.
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 Jēzus nu visu zinādams, kas Viņam notikšot, gāja tiem pretim un uz tiem saka: “Ko jūs meklējat?”
Jesus, aware of all that was coming upon him, went to meet them, and said to them, ‘For whom are you looking?’
5 Tie Viņam atbildēja: “Jēzu no Nacaretes.” Jēzus uz tiem saka: “Es tas esmu.” Un pie tiem stāvēja arī Jūdas, kas Viņu nodeva.
‘Jesus of Nazareth,’ was their answer. ‘I am he,’ said Jesus. (Judas, the betrayer, was also standing with them.)
6 Kad nu Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: “Es tas esmu;” tad tie atkāpās atpakaļ un krita pie zemes.
When Jesus said “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Tad viņš tiem atkal vaicāja: “Ko jūs meklējat?” Un tie sacīja: “Jēzu no Nacaretes.”
So he again asked for whom they were looking, and they answered, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’
8 Jēzus atbildēja: “Es jums esmu sacījis, ka Es tas esmu; ja tad jūs Mani meklējat, tad lieciet šos mierā.”
‘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 Ka tas vārds taptu piepildīts, ko Viņš bija sacījis: “Es nevienu neesmu pazaudējis no tiem, ko Tu Man esi devis.”
This was in fulfilment of his words – “Of those whom you have given me I have not lost one.”
10 Bet Sīmanis Pēteris, kam zobens bija, to izvilcis cirta tam augstā priestera kalpam un tam nocirta labo ausi, un tā kalpa vārds bija Malkus.
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 Tad Jēzus uz Pēteri sacīja: “Bāz savu zobenu makstīs; vai Man nebūs to biķeri dzert, ko Mans Tēvs Man ir devis?”
But Jesus said to Peter, ‘Sheathe your sword. Should I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?’
12 Tad tas pulks un tas virsnieks un tie Jūdu sulaiņi Jēzu saņēma un sēja,
So the soldiers of the garrison, with their commanding officer and the Jewish guards, arrested Jesus and bound him,
13 Un Viņu veda papriekš pie Annasa, tas bija sievas tēvs Kajafasam, kas bija tā gada augstais priesteris.
and took him first of all to Annas. Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Bet Kajafas bija tas, kas tiem Jūdiem padomu bija devis, labi esot, ka viens cilvēks mirtu par to tautu.
It was Caiaphas who had counselled the religious authorities, that it was best that one person should die for the people.
15 Un Sīmanis Pēteris un vēl otrs māceklis Jēzum gāja pakaļ, un šis māceklis tam augstam priesterim bija pazīstams un iegāja līdz ar Jēzu tā augstā priestera pilī.
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 Bet Pēteris stāvēja ārā pie durvīm. Tad tas otrs māceklis, kas tam augstam priesterim bija pazīstams, izgāja un runāja ar to durvju sargātāju un ieveda Pēteri iekšā.
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 Tad tā kalpone, kas bija durvju sargātāja, saka uz Pēteri: “Vai tu arīdzan neesi viens no šī cilvēka mācekļiem?” Tas saka: “Es neesmu.”
So the maidservant said to Peter, ‘Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?’ ‘No, I am not,’ he said.
18 Un tie kalpi un sulaiņi stāvēja un uguni bija sakūruši no oglēm, jo bija auksts, un tie sildījās. Bet arī Pēteris pie tiem stāvēja un sildījās.
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 Tad tas augstais priesteris Jēzum vaicāja par Viņa mācekļiem un par Viņa mācību.
The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 Jēzus tam atbildēja: “Es droši un skaidri esmu runājis uz pasauli, Es allaž esmu mācījis baznīcā un Dieva namā, kur visi tie Jūdi saiet, un neko neesmu runājis kaktā.
‘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 Ko tu Man jautā? Jautā tiem, kas dzirdējuši, ko Es uz tiem esmu runājis; redzi, tie zin, ko Es esmu sacījis.”
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 Bet Jēzum to runājot viens no tiem sulaiņiem, kas klāt stāvēja, Viņam sita vaigā un sacīja: “Vai Tu tā atbildi augstam priesterim?”
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 Jēzus tam atbildēja: “Kad Es esmu nepareizi runājis, tad pierādi, ka tas ir nepareizi; bet kad esmu pareizi runājis, kam tad tu Mani siti?”
‘If I said anything wrong, give evidence about it,’ replied Jesus, ‘but if not, why do you strike me?’
24 Tad Annas Viņu sūtīja saistītu pie Kajafasa, tā augstā priestera.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Bet Sīmanis Pēteris stāvēja un sildījās. Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: “Vai tu arīdzan neesi viens no Viņa mācekļiem?” Tas liedzās un sacīja: “Es neesmu.”
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 Tad viens no tā augstā priestera kalpiem, radinieks tam, kam Pēteris labo ausi bija nocirtis, saka: “Vai es tevi neredzēju dārzā pie Viņa?”
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 Tad Pēteris atkal liedzās; un tūdaļ gailis dziedāja.
Peter again denied it; and at that moment a cock crowed.
28 Tad tie Jēzu veda no Kajafasa uz tiesas namu, un vēl bija agrs (rīts). Un paši neiegāja tiesas namā, ka netaptu nešķīsti, bet ka varētu ēst Lieldienas jēru.
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 Tad Pilatus pie tiem izgāja ārā un sacīja: “Ko jūs sūdzat par šo cilvēku?”
Therefore Pilate came outside to speak to them. ‘What charge do you bring against this man?’ he asked.
30 Tie atbildēja un uz viņu sacīja: “Ja Šis nebūtu ļauna darītājs, tad mēs To tev nebūtu nodevuši.”
‘If he had not been a criminal, we should not have given him up to you,’ they answered.
31 Tad Pilatus uz tiem sacīja: “Tad ņemiet jūs Viņu un tiesājiet Viņu pēc savas bauslības.” Tad tie Jūdi uz viņu sacīja: “Mums nav brīv nevienu nonāvēt.”
‘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 Ka Jēzus vārds taptu piepildīts, ko Viņš sacīja norādīdams, ar kādu nāvi Viņam būs mirt.
in fulfilment of what Jesus had said when indicating the death that he was destined to die.
33 Tad Pilatus atkal iegāja tiesas namā un Jēzu aicināja un uz To sacīja: “Vai Tu esi tas Jūdu Ķēniņš?”
After that, Pilate went into the Government house again, and calling Jesus up, asked him, ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’
34 Jēzus tam atbildēja: “Vai tu to runā pats no sevis? Jeb vai citi tev to par Mani sacījuši?”
‘Do you ask me that yourself?’ replied Jesus, ‘or did others say it to you about me?’
35 Pilatus atbildēja: “Vai es esmu Jūds? Tava tauta un tie augstie priesteri Tevi man nodevuši; ko Tu esi darījis?”
‘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 Jēzus atbildēja: “Mana valstība nav no šīs pasaules; ja Mana valstība būtu no šīs pasaules, tad Mani kalpi par to kautos, ka Es tiem Jūdiem netaptu nodots. Bet nu Mana valstība nav no tejienes.”
‘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 Tad Pilatus uz Viņu sacīja: “Tad Tu tomēr esi Ķēniņš?” Jēzus atbildēja: “Tu to saki, Es esmu Ķēniņš. Es tāpēc esmu dzimis un tāpēc pasaulē nācis, ka Man būs patiesību apliecināt. Ikviens, kas ir no patiesības, dzird Manu balsi.”
‘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 Pilatus uz Viņu saka: “Kas ir patiesība?” Un to sacījis viņš atkal izgāja ārā pie tiem Jūdiem un uz tiem saka: “Es pie Tā nekādas vainas neatrodu.
‘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 Bet jums ir ieradums, ka es jums vienu atlaižu uz Lieldienu. Vai jūs nu gribat, lai es jums atlaižu to Jūdu Ķēniņu?”
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 Tad visi atkal brēca sacīdami: “Ne to, bet Barabu.” Bet Baraba bija slepkava.
‘No, not this man,’ they shouted again, ‘but Barabbas!’ This Barabbas was a robber.
