Yokaana 18
1 Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’afuluma n’abayigirizwa be, ne balaga emitala w’akagga Kidulooni. Mu kifo ekyo mwalimu ennimiro y’emizeeyituuni, Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne bayingira omwo.
When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
2 Yuda, eyamulyamu olukwe, ekifo ekyo yali akimanyi, kubanga Yesu yagendangayo emirundi mingi ng’ali n’abayigirizwa be.
And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.
3 Awo Yuda n’ajja mu kifo ekyo ng’ali n’ekibinja ky’abaserikale, n’abaweereza ba Bakabona abakulu n’ab’Abafalisaayo. Bajja nga balina ettaala n’emimuli n’ebyokulwanyisa.
Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Yesu bwe yamanya byonna ebyali bigenda okumubaako, n’avaayo n’ababuuza nti, “Munoonya ani?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?
5 Ne baddamu nti, “Tunoonya Yesu Omunnazaaleesi.” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ye Nze,” Yuda, eyamulyamu olukwe, yali ayimiridde nabo.
They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
6 Yesu bwe yabagamba nti, “Ye Nze” ne badda emabega ne bagwa wansi.
As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Yesu n’ababuuza omulundi ogwokubiri nti, “Munoonya ani?” Ne baddamu nti, “Yesu Omunnazaaleesi.”
Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mbabuulidde nti, Ye Nze. Kale obanga munoonya Nze, bano mubaleke bagende.”
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.
9 Yakola kino, ekyawandiikibwa kiryoke kituukirire ekigamba nti, “Abo be wampa saabuzaako n’omu.”
That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.
10 Awo Simooni Peetero, eyalina ekitala, n’akisowolayo, n’atema omuddu wa Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’amusalako okutu okwa ddyo. Erinnya ly’omuddu oyo nga ye Maluko.
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Yesu n’alagira Peetero nti, “Zza ekitala mu kiraato kyakyo. Ekikompe Kitange ky’ampadde, siikinywe?”
Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Awo ekibinja ky’abaserikale n’omuduumizi waabwe n’abaweereza b’Abayudaaya, ne bakwata Yesu ne bamusiba.
Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:
13 Ne bamutwala ewa Ana, eyali mukoddomi wa Kayaafa, Kabona Asinga Obukulu mu mwaka ogwo.
And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.
14 Kayaafa oyo, y’oli eyawa Abayudaaya amagezi nti, “Kirungi omuntu omu afiirire bonna.”
Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simooni Peetero n’omuyigirizwa omulala eyali amanyiddwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu, ne bagoberera Yesu. Omuyigirizwa oyo eyali amanyiddwa n’agoberera Yesu mu luggya lwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu,
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.
16 nga Peetero ye ayimiridde wabweru ku mulyango; omuyigirizwa oyo omulala bwe yayogera n’omuggazi w’oluggi n’ayingiza Peetero.
But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.
17 Omuwala omuggazi n’abuuza Peetero nti, “Naawe oli omu ku bayigirizwa b’omuntu oyo?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Nedda.”
The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith: I am not.
18 Obudde bwali bwa mpewo, abaddu n’abaweereza baali bakumye omuliro nga boota, ne Peetero naye ng’ayimiridde nabo ng’ayota omuliro.
Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.
19 Awo Ana eyaliko Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’abuuza Yesu ebifa ku bayigirizwa be ne ku kuyigiriza kwe.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Nayogeranga lwatu eri ensi, bulijjo n’ayigirizanga mu makuŋŋaaniro ne mu Yeekaalu, Abayudaaya bonna mwe bakuŋŋaanira, soogeranga kintu na kimu mu kyama.
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Lwaki obuuza Nze? Buuza abo abaawuliranga bye njogera. Bamanyi bye nnaayogera.”
Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.
22 Yesu bwe yayogera ekyo omu ku baweereza eyali ayimiridde awo n’amukuba oluyi n’amugamba nti, “Oddamu otyo Kabona Asinga Obukulu?”
And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Obanga njogedde bubi kinnumirize ekibi, naye obanga kirungi, kale onkubira ki?”
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?
24 Awo Ana n’aweereza Yesu nga musibe eri Kayaafa Kabona Asinga Obukulu.
And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.
25 Mu kiseera ekyo Simooni Peetero yali ayimiridde ng’ayota omuliro. Ne bamubuuza nti, “Naawe oli omu ku bayigirizwa ba Yesu?” N’abaddamu nti, “Nedda.”
And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.
26 Awo omu ku baddu ba Kabona Asinga Obukulu, muganda w’oyo Peetero gwe yasalako okutu, n’amubuuza nti, “Saakulabye naye mu nnimiro?”
One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peetero n’addamu okwegaana. Amangwago enkoko n’ekookolima.
Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.
28 Awo Abayudaaya ne baggya Yesu ewa Kayaafa ne bamutwala mu lubiri lwa gavana Omuruumi. Obudde bwali bwakakya, ne batayingira mu lubiri baleme okusobya omukolo ogw’okwetukuza, si kulwa nga basubwa okulya Embaga y’Okuyitako.
Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor’s hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.
29 Awo Piraato n’afuluma ebweru gye baali n’ababuuza nti, “Musango ki gwe muvunaana omuntu ono?”
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?
30 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Singa yali tazizza musango tetwandimuleese gy’oli.”
They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31 Piraato kyeyava abagamba nti, “Kale mmwe mumutwale mumusalire omusango okusinziira mu mateeka gammwe.” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetukkiriza kutta muntu yenna.”
Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death;
32 Kino ne kituukiriza ebyo Yesu bye yayogera ku nfa gye yali agenda okufaamu.
That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.
33 Awo Piraato n’addayo mu lubiri n’ayita Yesu. N’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?”
Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?
34 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Ekyo okyogedde ku bubwo oba balala be bakubuulidde ebinfaako?”
Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?
35 Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Nze ndi Muyudaaya? Abantu bo ne Kabona Asinga Obukulu be bakundeetedde. Okoze ki?”
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
36 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Obwakabaka bwange si bwa mu nsi muno. Singa bubadde bwa mu nsi eno abaweereza bange bandirwanye ne siweebwayo mu Bayudaaya. Naye obwakabaka bwange si bwa mu nsi muno.”
Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.
37 Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Kwe kugamba oli kabaka?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Okyogedde nti ndi kabaka. Ekyo kye nnazaalirwa era kye kyandeeta mu nsi, ntegeeze amazima. Era abo bonna abaagala amazima bawulira eddoboozi lyange.”
Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
38 Piraato n’amubuuza nti, “Amazima kye ki?” Piraato bwe yamala okwogera bw’atyo n’afuluma ebweru eri Abayudaaya n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu ono talina musango.
Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.
39 Naye ku buli mbaga ejjuukirirwako Okuyitako mulina empisa, onkusaba mbateere omusibe omu. Kale mwagala mbateere Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?”
But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
40 Bonna kyebaava baleekaanira waggulu nga bagamba nti, “Nedda, si oyo, wabula tuteere Balaba.” Balaba oyo yali munyazi.
Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
