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 finished speaking, he and his disciples crossed over the Kidron brook and went into an olive grove.
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.
Judas the betrayer knew the place, for Jesus had often gone 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 took with him a troop of soldiers together with guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They arrived there carrying torches, lanterns, 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 knew everything that was going to happen to him. He went to meet them, and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
5 I kawaghe i woro “Yesu Nnazaret.” Yesu woro nani, “Mere ame.” Yahuda, ule na awa lewu ghe, awa yissing ligowe nin na soje.
“Are you Jesus of Nazareth?” they asked. “I am,” Jesus told them. Judas the betrayer was standing with them.
6 Na aworo nani, “Mere” ikpilla nin kidung i deu kutyen.
When Jesus said “I am,” they fell back and dropped to the ground.
7 A tirino nani tutung, “idin piziru ghari ku?” I kuru i woro, “Yesu Nnazaret.”
So he asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” “Are you Jesus of Nazareth?” they asked again.
8 Yesu kawa nani, “Nworo minu mere ame; andi meri idin piziri, sunan alele i nya ucin mene.”
“I already told you I am,” Jesus replied. “So if I'm the one you're looking for, let these others go.”
9 Uwa so nani uliru nan kulo na awa woro, “Nalenge na una nii, na nna wultun unit urum ba.”
These words fulfilled what he had previously said: “I have not lost any of those you gave 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 a sword and struck Malchus, the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
11 Yesu woro Bitrus ku, “kurtuno kusangale nanya kuparin me. Kakuke na Ucif nani nan nwa sono kani ba?”
Jesus told Peter, “Put the sword away! Do you think I shouldn't 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 soldiers, their commander, and the Jewish guards arrested Jesus and tied his hands.
13 Itu ido ninghe kitin Annas, bara ame wadi kumaran Kefas, ulenge na awa di udya na Prieste nloli likusse.
First they took him to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the current high priest.
14 Nene Kefasari ulenge na awa ni a Yahudawa ukpilizu nworu ucaun unit urum ku bara anite.
Caiaphas was the one who had told the Jews, “It's better that one man die 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;
Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple did so too. This disciple was well-known to the high priest, and so he entered the high priest's courtyard with Jesus.
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.
Peter had to remain outside by the door. So the other disciple who was known to the high priest went and spoke to the servant girl watching the door and brought Peter inside.
17 Kucin kuwane na awa din nca kibulughe woro Bitrus ku. “Nafe umonghari nanyan nono katwa nnit ulelere ba?” A woro “Na meri ba.”
The girl asked Peter, “Aren't you one of that man's disciples?” “Me? No, I'm not,” he replied.
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.
It was cold, and the servants and guards were standing by a fire they had made, warming themselves. Peter went and stood with them, warming himself.
19 Udya na Priest uni wa tirin Yesu ku ubellen nono katwa me nin dursuzu kiti me.
Then the chief priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and what he had been 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've spoken openly to everyone,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in the synagogues and in the Temple where all the Jewish people meet. I haven't said anything 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.”
So why are you questioning me? Ask the people who heard me what I told them. 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 he said this, one of the guards standing nearby slapped Jesus, saying, “Is that any way to speak to 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, tell everyone what was wrong with it. But if what I said was right, why did you hit me?”
24 Annas uni wa teccu Yesu ku a turunghe kitin Kefas udya na Priest.
Annas sent him, his hands still tied, 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.”
As Simon Peter stood warming himself by the fire, the people there asked him, “Aren't you one of his disciples?” Peter denied it and said, “No, I'm 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 Peter, “Didn't I see you in the olive grove with him?”
27 Bitrus kuru anari ulire, kukulok tunna ku kolsuno mas.
Peter denied it again, and immediately a cock 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.
Early in the morning they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. The Jewish leaders didn't enter the palace because if they did they would be ceremonially defiled, and they wanted to be able to eat the Passover meal.
29 Bilatus nuzu ado kiti mine, a woro, “kuyapin kulaperi idamun liti nnit ulele?”
So Pilate came out to meet them. “What charge are you bringing against this man?” he asked.
30 I kawaghe i woro, “Ndafo na unit ulele unan katwa kananzanghari ba, na tiwa damun kitife ba.”
“If he wasn't a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you,” they answered.
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.”
“Then you take him and judge him according to your law,” Pilate told them. “We're not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews answered.
32 Iwa belin nani uliru Yesu na se ukulu, ulire na awa belin wa durso imusin yapin ukulari ama su.
This fulfilled what Jesus had said about how he would die.
33 Bilatus kuru a pira kutin sharawe a yicila Yesu ku; a woroghe, “fere ugo na Yahudawe?”
Pilate went back into the governor's palace. He 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?”
“Did you think of this question yourself, or did others talk to you about me?” Jesus responded.
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 countered. “It was your own people and high priests who handed you over to me. What is it that you've 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 was of this world, my subjects would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from here.”
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 Pilate asked, “So you are a king, then?” “You say that I'm a king,” Jesus replied. “The reason why I was born and I came to the world was to give evidence for the truth. All those who accept the truth pay attention to what I say.”
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. Having said this Pilate went back out to the Jews and told them, “I find him not guilty of any crime.
39 Idi nin tanda nworu nma sun minu kucin kurum nin kubin paska. Nene idi nin su nsun minu ugo na Yahudawe?”
However, it is customary for me to release a prisoner to you at Passover. Do you want me to release 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.
“No, not him! We want Barabbas instead!” they shouted back. Barabbas was a rebel.
