Yuhana 18
1 Na Yesu uleli ulire, a nuzu a nya nin nono katwa me a kafin kurawan kidiron, kikanga na awa piru nkon kunen ku, ame nin nono katwa me.
After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
2 Nene Yahuda, ulenge na awa cinu ulewughe, ame wang wa yiru kitene, bara Yesu wa duzo kiti kane ko kome kubi nin nono katwa me.
Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
3 Yahuda, na amal se ligozi na soja nin nadidya kiti ndya na Priest a Afarisawa, da kitime nin tila, tico a imon likum.
So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Yesu, ule na awa yiru nin vat nimon na idi sesughe, kata udu ubun a tirino nani, “Idin piziru ghari ku?”
Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5 I kawaghe i woro “Yesu Nnazaret.” Yesu woro nani, “Mere ame.” Yahuda, ule na awa lewu ghe, awa yissing ligowe nin na soje.
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
6 Na aworo nani, “Mere” ikpilla nin kidung i deu kutyen.
When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 A tirino nani tutung, “idin piziru ghari ku?” I kuru i woro, “Yesu Nnazaret.”
So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
8 Yesu kawa nani, “Nworo minu mere ame; andi meri idin piziri, sunan alele i nya ucin mene.”
“I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
9 Uwa so nani uliru nan kulo na awa woro, “Nalenge na una nii, na nna wultun unit urum ba.”
This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
10 Simon Bitrus, ule na awa min kussangali, a shuku kunin a kowo kucin ndya na Priest kutuf ncara uleme me. Lissa kucine wadi Malkusari.
Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Yesu woro Bitrus ku, “kurtuno kusangale nanya kuparin me. Kakuke na Ucif nani nan nwa sono kani ba?”
“Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
12 Ligozin na soje, a adidya mine, nin na didya na Yahudawa tunna ikifo Yesu ku i tereghe.
Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
13 Itu ido ninghe kitin Annas, bara ame wadi kumaran Kefas, ulenge na awa di udya na Prieste nloli likusse.
They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14 Nene Kefasari ulenge na awa ni a Yahudawa ukpilizu nworu ucaun unit urum ku bara anite.
Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.
15 Simon Bitrus dofino Yesu ku, nanere wang nkang gono katwa we. Ame kani gono katwa we, udya na Priest wa yirughe, amini wa piru kuti nshara ndya na Prieste nin Yesu;
Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
16 Bitrus wa yissin kibulun ndas. Ame kani gono katwa we, na udya na Prieste wa yirughe tunna anuzu udas adi lirin nin kucin kuwani na kuwadi nca kibulunghe a pirna Bitrus ku nanye.
But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Kucin kuwane na awa din nca kibulughe woro Bitrus ku. “Nafe umonghari nanyan nono katwa nnit ulelere ba?” A woro “Na meri ba.”
At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.
18 Inung acine nin na dugari wa yissin kitene; iwa susso ula nin ticini bara tituwui wadi, inani wa di lanzu nla, Bitrus wadi ligowe nan ghinu, awa yissin nlanzun nla.
Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.
19 Udya na Priest uni wa tirin Yesu ku ubellen nono katwa me nin dursuzu kiti me.
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
20 Yesu kawa ghe aworo, “Nna suzu uliru kiti nanit kanang; Nna suzu uliru nanya niti nlira nin niti nilau, kikanga na a Yahudawa na da zurso ku vat. na nna bellu umon uliru likire ba.
“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Inyaghari nta umini ntirini? Tirino alenge na ina lanzan imon ile na nna bellu. Anit alele yiru imon ilenge na nna bellu.”
Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
22 Na Yesu belle nani, umong nanya na dugari wa yissin kupo Yesu a tunna a rioghe nin cara me a woro. “Nanere uma kpanu udya na Prieste?”
When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”
23 Yesu kawaghe aworo, “Andi nbelle imonimong nanzang, durson ni utanu nighe, vat nani andi nkawa gegeme, inyaghari nta umini reoyi?”
Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
24 Annas uni wa teccu Yesu ku a turunghe kitin Kefas udya na Priest.
Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Simon Bitrus wa yissin nlazun nla. Anite woroghe, “Nafe wang umong nanyan nono katwa mere ba?” A nari ulire a woro, “Na meng di nan ghinu ba.”
Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 Umong nanya nacin Ndya na Priest na awadi fimus nin lenge na Bitrus wa kalaghe kutufe, wa woro, “Na meng niyenefi kunene ninghe ba?”
One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”
27 Bitrus kuru anari ulire, kukulok tunna ku kolsuno mas.
Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28 Iwa nya nin Yesu kitin Kefas udu kuti nshara. Nin kwui dindinghari wadi, na inung ati mine wa piru kuti nsharawe ba, bara iwa ti atimine ndinong, inan se ulin paska.
Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
29 Bilatus nuzu ado kiti mine, a woro, “kuyapin kulaperi idamun liti nnit ulele?”
So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30 I kawaghe i woro, “Ndafo na unit ulele unan katwa kananzanghari ba, na tiwa damun kitife ba.”
“If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
31 Bilatus woro nani, “Yiranghe i nyamun idi sughe usharawe ussanmin dert ni duka mine.” A Yahudawe woroghe, “Na udi dert arik molu unit ba.”
“You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
32 Iwa belin nani uliru Yesu na se ukulu, ulire na awa belin wa durso imusin yapin ukulari ama su.
This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33 Bilatus kuru a pira kutin sharawe a yicila Yesu ku; a woroghe, “fere ugo na Yahudawe?”
Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
34 Yesu kawa, aworoghe, “udin tiru bara litifere sa amonghari nbelin fi utirini?”
“Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”
35 Bilatus kawa, “Na meng Kuyahudawari ba, sa uyene ndi? Anan minfere nin dya na Priest nnakpa fi nacara ning; iyaghari unati?”
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
36 Yesu kawa, aworo, “Tigo ning na tin nle uyiere ba. Nda Tigo ning tin nle uyiere, anan katwa ning wa su likum bara iwa nakpayi nacara na Yahudawa, anan Tigo ning na tina dak unuzun le uyieri ba.”
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”
37 Bilatus woroghe, “Ani fe ugowarie?” Yesu kawa ghe, “fere woro meng ugowari, bara nanere ina marui, bara nanere nna dak nanya in yie bara nnan na ushaida kidegene. Vat nlenge na ame un kidegenari din lanzu liwui ning.”
“Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”
38 Bitrus woroghe, “Iyaghari kidege?” Na a belle nani, akuru anuzu tutung ado kiti na Yahudawe a woro nani, “Na nse unit ulele nin kulapi ba.
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.
39 Idi nin tanda nworu nma sun minu kucin kurum nin kubin paska. Nene idi nin su nsun minu ugo na Yahudawe?”
But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 I kuru ijarta nin tiwui kang I woro, “Na unit ulele ba, ama Barabbas.” Barabbas wa di ukiri udyawari.
“Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
