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.
HAVING thus spoken, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he went himself, and his disciples.
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 also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for frequently had Jesus consorted with his disciples there.
3 Yahuda, na amal se ligozi na soja nin nadidya kiti ndya na Priest a Afarisawa, da kitime nin tila, tico a imon likum.
Then Judas having taken a band of soldiers, and the inferior officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and arms.
4 Yesu, ule na awa yiru nin vat nimon na idi sesughe, kata udu ubun a tirino nani, “Idin piziru ghari ku?”
Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye 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.
They answered him, Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. Then stood also Judas, who betrayed him, with these men.
6 Na aworo nani, “Mere” ikpilla nin kidung i deu kutyen.
As he then spake to them, I am he, they retreated backward, and fell flat on the ground.
7 A tirino nani tutung, “idin piziru ghari ku?” I kuru i woro, “Yesu Nnazaret.”
Again therefore he demanded of them, Whom seek ye? Then they said, Jesus the Nazarean.
8 Yesu kawa nani, “Nworo minu mere ame; andi meri idin piziri, sunan alele i nya ucin mene.”
Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye are seeking me, permit these to go away:
9 Uwa so nani uliru nan kulo na awa woro, “Nalenge na una nii, na nna wultun unit urum ba.”
that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, That of those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
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 having a sword, drew it, and struck a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchas.
11 Yesu woro Bitrus ku, “kurtuno kusangale nanya kuparin me. Kakuke na Ucif nani nan nwa sono kani ba?”
Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the scabbard: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Ligozin na soje, a adidya mine, nin na didya na Yahudawa tunna ikifo Yesu ku i tereghe.
The band therefore, and the chief captain, and the inferior officers of the Jews, seized on Jesus, and bound him,
13 Itu ido ninghe kitin Annas, bara ame wadi kumaran Kefas, ulenge na awa di udya na Prieste nloli likusse.
and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year.
14 Nene Kefasari ulenge na awa ni a Yahudawa ukpilizu nworu ucaun unit urum ku bara anite.
Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of 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 had followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was acquainted with the high-priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace 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 without at the door. Then that other disciple, who was acquainted with the high-priest, went out, and spoke to the porteress, and introduced Peter.
17 Kucin kuwane na awa din nca kibulughe woro Bitrus ku. “Nafe umonghari nanyan nono katwa nnit ulelere ba?” A woro “Na meri ba.”
Then said the damsel who kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of the disciples of this man? He saith, I am not.
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.
Now the servants and inferior officers having made a fire, for it was cold, stood and warmed themselves: and there stood Peter with them, and warmed himself.
19 Udya na Priest uni wa tirin Yesu ku ubellen nono katwa me nin dursuzu kiti me.
The high-priest then questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and respecting his doctrine.
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.
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews resorted; and in secret have I spoken nothing.
21 Inyaghari nta umini ntirini? Tirino alenge na ina lanzan imon ile na nna bellu. Anit alele yiru imon ilenge na nna bellu.”
Why dost thou question me? ask those who have heard me, what I have spoken to them: lo, 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?”
As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion?
23 Yesu kawaghe aworo, “Andi nbelle imonimong nanzang, durson ni utanu nighe, vat nani andi nkawa gegeme, inyaghari nta umini reoyi?”
Jesus replied to him, If I have spoken in an improper manner, bear witness of the evil deed: but if properly, why strikest thou me?
24 Annas uni wa teccu Yesu ku a turunghe kitin Kefas udya na Priest.
Now Annas had sent him 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.”
Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art not thou also one of this man’s 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 servants of the high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 Bitrus kuru anari ulire, kukulok tunna ku kolsuno mas.
Then again Peter denied: and instantly the cock crew.
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 led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was early: and they themselves went not into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 Bilatus nuzu ado kiti mine, a woro, “kuyapin kulaperi idamun liti nnit ulele?”
Pilate then came out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 I kawaghe i woro, “Ndafo na unit ulele unan katwa kananzanghari ba, na tiwa damun kitife ba.”
They answered and said to him, If this fellow had not been a malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
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.”
Pilate then said to them, Take him yourselves, and according to your own law judge him. The Jews then said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 Iwa belin nani uliru Yesu na se ukulu, ulire na awa belin wa durso imusin yapin ukulari ama su.
that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, intimating by what manner of death he should die.
33 Bilatus kuru a pira kutin sharawe a yicila Yesu ku; a woroghe, “fere ugo na Yahudawe?”
Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews?
34 Yesu kawa, aworoghe, “udin tiru bara litifere sa amonghari nbelin fi utirini?”
Jesus answered him, Dost thou speak this from thyself, or did others speak to thee concerning me?
35 Bilatus kawa, “Na meng Kuyahudawari ba, sa uyene ndi? Anan minfere nin dya na Priest nnakpa fi nacara ning; iyaghari unati?”
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou 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 replied, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, then would my servants have struggled hard, that I should not have been delivered up to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.
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 said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth 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.
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And having thus spoken, he went out again unto the Jews and saith to them, I find no fault in him.
39 Idi nin tanda nworu nma sun minu kucin kurum nin kubin paska. Nene idi nin su nsun minu ugo na Yahudawe?”
But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one person at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto 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.
Then again they all clamoured, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
