John 18
1 After Jesus had finished speaking, he and his disciples crossed over the Kidron brook and went into an olive grove.
IESUS lao kotin masanier mepukat, ap kotila palilan pil Kidron, o sapwilim a tounpadak kan iang i: Matuel eu mi wasa o, me i o sapwilim a tounpadak kan kotilong ong lole.
2 Judas the betrayer knew the place, for Jesus had often gone there with his disciples.
A Iudas me pangala i, pil asa wasa o, pwe Iesus o sapwilim a tounpadak kan kin purepure wasa o.
3 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.
Iudas lao aleer pokon o papa kan sang ren samero lapalap o Parisär akan, ap kokiieila lamp, o ser akan, o kapwa en pei kan.
4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him. He went to meet them, and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
A Iesus me kotin mangier meakaros, me pan pit i, kotiei wong irail masani ong irail: Is me komail rapaki?
5 “Are you Jesus of Nazareth?” they asked. “I am,” Jesus told them. Judas the betrayer was standing with them.
Re sapeng i: Iesus men Nasaret. Iesus kotin masani ong irail: Ngai i. A Iudas, me pangala i, pil u iang irail.
6 When Jesus said “I am,” they fell back and dropped to the ground.
Iesus lao kotin masani ong irail: Ngai i, re ap puioki sang, pupodi ong nan pwel.
7 So he asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” “Are you Jesus of Nazareth?” they asked again.
A pil kotin kainoma re irail. Is me komail rapaki? Irail inda: Iesus men Nasaret.
8 “I already told you I am,” Jesus replied. “So if I'm the one you're looking for, let these others go.”
Iesus kotin masani: I indai ong komail er, me ngai i. Ari, ma komail rapakin ia, en purewei sang mepukat!
9 These words fulfilled what he had previously said: “I have not lost any of those you gave me.”
Pwe lepen masan en pwaida, me a kotin masanier: Sota amen irail, me komui ki ong ia er, me salongalar.
10 Then Simon Peter drew a sword and struck Malchus, the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
A Simon Petrus, me na kodlas mia, ap usa pasang, päleki en samero lapalap a ladu, päle pasang salong a pali maun. A ladu o me ad a Malkus.
11 Jesus told Peter, “Put the sword away! Do you think I shouldn't drink the cup the Father has given me?”
Iesus ap kotin masani ong Petrus: Kapure ong om kodlas nan deu a! Da, dal o, me Sam o kotiki ong ia er, i ender nim?
12 Then the soldiers, their commander, and the Jewish guards arrested Jesus and tied his hands.
Ari, pokon o, o ar kaun, o papa en men Sus akan saikidi Iesus o saliedi i.
13 First they took him to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the current high priest.
O kalua mas ren Anas, pwe i sam en Kaipas a paud o samero lapalap ni par o.
14 Caiaphas was the one who had told the Jews, “It's better that one man die for the people.”
Iei i Kaipas, me indai ong Sus oko: Me mau, aramas ta men en kam kila aramas akan.
15 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.
A Simon Petrus o pil amen tounpadak idauenla Iesus. A tounpadak men et, me samero lapalap asaer, iang Iesus kotilong ong nan matuel en samero lapalap.
16 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.
A Petrus u liki impan wanim o. Tounpadak teio, me samero lapalap asaer, pedoi sang kasokasoi ong me sinsila wanim o ukelong ong Petrus lole.
17 The girl asked Peter, “Aren't you one of that man's disciples?” “Me? No, I'm not,” he replied.
Seripein o, me sinsila wanim, ap indai ong Petrus: Kaidin amen ren tounpadak kan en aramas men et koe? A inda: Ngai so.
18 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.
A ladu o papa kan u wasa o, saunda kisiniai, pwe a kapau; irail rangerang ia, a Petrus pil iang u rangerang.
19 Then the chief priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and what he had been teaching.
Samero lalalap ap kalelapok ren Iesus duen sapwilim a tounpadak kan o duen a padak.
20 “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.
Iesus kotin sapeng i: I padapadak sansal ong sappa; ansau karos I kaukawewedar nan sinakoke o nan im en kaudok, wasa me Sus oko karos kin pokon pena ia; a sota man meakot, me I padak wasa rir.
21 So why are you questioning me? Ask the people who heard me what I told them. They know what I said.”
Da me kom peidokki re i? Kalelapok ren me rong ia er, me I padaki ong irail er, kilang, re asa, me I indada.
22 When he said this, one of the guards standing nearby slapped Jesus, saying, “Is that any way to speak to the high priest?”
Ni en Iesus a kotin masani met, amen sang ren papa ko, me uda impa, ap pikir silang en Iesus indada: Iduen om sapeng ong samero lapalap?
23 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?”
Iesus kotin sapeng i: Ma ai lokaia sued, koe ap kadede ki duen a sued, a ma me pung menda koe pikir ia?
24 Annas sent him, his hands still tied, to Caiaphas the high priest.
A Anas ap kadar wong sensal ren samero lapalap Kaipas.
25 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.”
A Simon Petrus u, rangerang irail ap indai ong i: Ele koe pil amen a tounpadak kan? A kamamada indada: Ngai so.
26 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?”
Ladun samero lapalap amen, me sauneki ol o, me Petrus pale sang salong a, ap indada: Kaidin koe me i kilanger re a nan matuel o?
27 Peter denied it again, and immediately a cock crowed.
Petrus ap pil kamamada. Malek madang kakorotada,
28 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.
Irail ap kalua sang Iesus ren Kaipas, walang nan im en kadeik. Ari, me sangkonai. A irail sota pedelong ong nan im en kadeik, pwe re de kasaminela pein irail, pwe re en kak ong tungole pasa.
29 So Pilate came out to meet them. “What charge are you bringing against this man?” he asked.
Pilatus ap pedoi wong re irail indada: Da me komail karauneki aramas men et?
30 “If he wasn't a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you,” they answered.
Irail sapeng indang i: Ma men et sota me sued amen, se sota pan pangalang komui i.
31 “Then you take him and judge him according to your law,” Pilate told them. “We're not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews answered.
Pilatus ap masani ong irail: Pein komail ale i, kadeikada i duen omail kapung. Sus oko ap indai ong i: A sota muei ong kit, sen kamela amen.
32 This fulfilled what Jesus had said about how he would die.
Pwe masan en Iesus en pwaida, me a kotin masanieda, pwen kasaleda, duen a pan kamatala.
33 Pilate went back into the governor's palace. He summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
A Pilatus pur ong nan im en kadeik ekeredo Iesus, kalelapok re a: Komui Nanmarki en Sus akan?
34 “Did you think of this question yourself, or did others talk to you about me?” Jesus responded.
Iesus kotin sapeng i: Kom indada mepukat sang nan pein omui pam? De akai indai ong komui duen ngai?
35 “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?”
Pilatus sapeng: Da, men Sus amen ngai? Toun sap omui o samero lapalap akan panga dong ia komui; da me komui wiadar?
36 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.”
Iesus kotin sapeng: Ai wei kaidin men sappa et. Ma ai wei men sappa et, nan ai papa kan pan pepeita, pwe I ender pan pangalang Sus akan; a kaidin ai wei ansau wet,
37 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.”
Pilatus ap indai ong i: Ari, Nanmarki amen komui? Iesus kotin sapeng: Komui me inda, me Nanmarki amen ngai. I me I ipwikidier o pwara kidong sappa pwe I en kadede melel. Kisan melel akan kin rongerong ngil ai.
38 “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.
Pilatus indai ong i: Dakot melel? A lao indawei mepukat, ap pil pedoi ong ren men Sus indai ong irail: I sota man diar dip a.
39 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?”
A tiak eu mi re omail, i en lapwada meamen ni pasa. Komail so men, i en lapwadang komail Nanmarki en Sus akan?
40 “No, not him! We want Barabbas instead!” they shouted back. Barabbas was a rebel.
Irail karos pil weriwereda indada: Kaidik men et, a Parapas! A Parapas me lolap amen.
